" —amm_mm inrun nriln - mwm STATE SENATOR Nathan Miller visited his Rappahannock constituents on Monday evening and took part in a question and answer session with members of the Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education at a meeting in the Episcopal Parish Hall. school system. Rap* pahannock Superintendent William Bloomer agreed. “There’s about as much chance of the legislators making any major changes in the formula (that determines the amount of financial aid supplied to localities) as there is of Rappahannock County land values going down 50 per cent,’’ said Bloomer. The state aid to education formula, based 50 per cent on land values, 40 per cent on per capita income and 10 per cent on sales tax revenues, adversely affects Rappahannock because land values here are inordinantly high for an area without a major industrial or commercial base, according to Miller. “This puts a larger burden on the locality,” commented the Senator. Bloomer added that Rappahannock’s problem was compounded by the sparse population in the county. When the school population is compared to land values, it shows an “inordinant amount” of money available per child, Bloomer said. 61 Per Cent Paid Locally Mrs. Joseph Scherschel noted that 61 per cent of the county school budget is paid with local taxes. “This puts Rappahannock right up there with everyone else in terms of dollar effort,” she said, adding that the county received a relatively low percentage of federal and state funds compared to other similar counties. The discrepancy comes in, she maintained, when Rappahannock’s ability to pay for education, as determined by the state, is considered. Out of 95 Virginia Counties, Rappahannock is ranked fifth in that category. Irving Kenyon asked if Rappahannock was receiving a comparatively low percentage of federal and state aid because the county was (Continued on Page 4) IT’S NOT A TREE in the jungle but Scott Figgins settled for the playground equipment at the Recreation Center when he needed to work off some steam during a break in Extension Office sponsored craft classes held last week. w * / Environmental Hearing Set Public hearings on environmental quality in Virginia and permit coordination procedures among environmental regulatory agencies are scheduled for September 10, 1977 in Richmond, October 14 in Roanoke, and October 26 in Norfolk. The Richmond meeting will convene at 12:30 P.M. in the first floor auditorium of the Madison office building. The following meetings are set for 10:00 A.M. at Hotel Roanoke and Norfolk City Hall Council Chambers. The program for each meeting consists of ’ a presentation by the Council on the Environment on proposed interim permit coordination procedures followed by a citizens’ comment and question period, and a general public hearing on all environmental matters. Oral comments will be limited to 10 minutes per speaker. Inflation Pushes Incomes The median income for Rappahannock families will be $12,999 by 1980, according to projections by Tayloe Murphy Institute economist Dr. John Knapp. The 1980 estimate is more than double the 1969 median county income of $6,077 and over 43 per cent higher than the $9,073 median in 1975. Knapp estimates that the median family income throughout the state as a whole will also increase by 43 per cent, from $13,454, to $9,236 between 1975 and 1980. "From 1969 to 1975 Virginia’s median family income rose by 49 per cent, only slightly more than the 47 per cent increase in the consumer price index,” said Dr. Knapp. “Thus, on balance, there was only a small increase in real family income.” He predicts that this same economic trend will continue. “The projections for 1980 allow for some growth in real income, but most of the gain will be due to inflation,” Knapp added. Bloomer Expounds On Querries From Education Group By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Bloomer followed State Senator ** Nathan Miller to the speakers table at Monday nights meeting of the Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education. Bloomer began by answering questions on school finances but topics quickly branched off into a discussion on the vacancy created by the recent resignation of elementary principal Buddy Carter and the furor over the reassignment of seventh grade science teacher Lynne Baines. Irvin Kenyon asked if the real estate value figures incorporated into the funding formula used by the state to determine Rappahannock’s share of state money could be inflated. “I’m not sure where we’re getting the real estate value figures at this point,” answered Bloomer. He added that the state required move to 100 per cent assessment, scheduled for the next biennium, would give a "basic foundation for an equal comparison” between the local funding levels of different counties. He added that the funding formula was thrown out of kilter in its application to Rappahannock County by the "double jeopardy” of high real estate values and low population. Rappahannock has more real estate value per population than neighboring Fauquier and this is the reason for Rappahannock’s higher ranking in ability to pay for education, he said. Lions Auction Planned The Rappahannock Lions Club is planning an auction next month for the benefit of the Panther Athletic League’s fund raising drive to build a track at Rappahannock County High School. Auctioneer John Walker Jenkins has volunteered the use of the Jenkins Auction House in Washington as well as services for the October 6th sale. Anyone with usable items for donation is asked to contact auction chairman R. Ashton Baines at 675-3253 to arrange pick-up anywhere in the county. m & Si** ::: >4 «r wamm Newbill Miller interjected that state officials, in determining county land values, threw out both high and low sales and ended up with a figure that actually reflected the' true value of Rappahannock land. Land Use Noting that many localities were adopting land use taxation in face of the state’s required 100 per cent assessment, Sharon Kilpatrick asked if property would be evaluated on its worth as farm land for the purposes of the educational funding formula. Bloomer answered that he thought land use value rather than a property’s worth for development would be incorporated into the formula used by the state to determine a locality’s ability to pay for education, should a land use program be in effect. "All we need is land use taxation,’’ countered Mrs. Kilpatrick, “and then the formula will work for us.” “But then what happens to local taxes?” asked Delores Dalton. The locality will be responsible for the portion of the school budget not funded from state or federal sources, noted Bloomer. He told the v’ m t t i&iii m m audience that the minimum funding level per pupil during the first year of the next biennium will increase from $825 required currently.' to $901. He added that a tax rate based on 100 per cent* assessment would enable an evaluation to be made on how much Rappahannock County is paying for education in comparison with other counties. Bloomer was asked for the status of the principal’s position at the county elementary school. All Positions Covered “At this point, all positions are covered,” he replied, with assistant principal Spencer designated acting principal. The School Board has advertised for applicants, according to Bloomer, and will make a determination later whether to fill the position of principal or assistant principal, should Spencer want to apply for the top administrative job. In the meantime, Bloomer continued, he and assistant Superintendent Ray Hogan are helping out at the elementary school. Sharon Kilpatrick asked if the School Board intended to fill the vacant position during this school year. “For several reasons, yes, I ’ RAPPAHANNOCK LIONS club president Phil Butten and Lion Ian Pryde formally donated the new public address system that the Club installed at the Hampton Inn for use by the county’s senior citizen nutrition program. Site supervisor Faye Crescenti and program chairmen Bertie Hackley and Doris Jennings accepted the use of the system on behalf of the senior citizens who meet at the Hampton Inn on Mondays and Thursdays in activities sponsored by the Area Agency on Aging. hope so," Bloomer replied. Five or six applications have already been received but screening has not yet begun ^because Bloomer said he felt it more important to fill the five vacant classroom positions first. As of 4 p.m. on Friday afternoon, the last position was filled, he noted. ‘‘The responsibilities are being taken care of. We’re looking out for the welfare of the children,’’ added Bloomer. Reassignment Opposed Karen Bear questioned the reassignment of seventh grade science teacher, Lynne Baines to instructor in a new fifth-sixth grade combination class. If the teacher selected to take over Mrs. Baines’ science program had been hired as a fifth-sixth combination teacher and was witling to assume that position, "why can’t we have our seventh grade science teacher back!” asked Mrs. Bear The new science teacher was hired as an elementary teacher, not as a fifth-sixth combination instructor, according to Bloomer. He justified his continued support of the reassignment made by principal Carter on the grounds that it gave "the strongest team possible.” Using a baseball analogy, Bloomer maintained that a coach with two excellent second basemen and no ERA Seminar The Rappahannock Ad Hoc Committee for the Equal Rights Amendment held a luncheon and informal seminar on August 25 at the home of Delores Dalton in Flint Hill. The discussion centered around what the ERA would and would not mean to the women of Rappahannock County. In June the committee held an open forum at the court house with guest speakers. “More activities are planned,” according to Mary Beth Martin, committee chairperson, “to allow additional opportunities for exploring the potential benefits of the Equal Rights Amendment to both men and women.” The next event scheduled is an information and planning meeting with Washington attorney Sharon Genebach. The topic for discussion will be “Inheritance Laws in Virginia." Individuals wishing further information should call 675-3279 or 6753236. shortstop would move one of the second basemen over to fill the vacant position. “The team effort is the most important (factor)...The individual being moved is the stronger.” He added that the reassignment was "not made because of vindictive reasons.” ‘‘I still fail to see the reason why an individual who has proved her strength in an area should be moved against her will,” commented Judy Kenyon. Fewer Errors Repeating his baseball analogy. Bloomer claimed it was best for the ballclub in this situation to move the shortstop over even though the ball player may make errors at the new position. The errors will be fewer, he maintained, than those that would be committed by someone who’s never played the infield. Mrs. Kenyon asked Bloomer if he could guarantee the reassignment won’t create a weakness in the seventh grade science program. Bloomer answered that he hoped parents would have enough confidence in the administration to realize that no one would be assigned to a position where they wouldn’t do an adequate job. “The question is, are you weakening two positions rather than having one problem?” asked a member oi tne audience. "No sir, I don’t think so,” Bloomer replied. Again using his baseball analogy, he added that a coach couldn’t evaluate a team until the season was over and the winloss record was final. Mrs. Bear interjected that she hoped the county wouldn’t lose a teacher next year because of the reassignment decision. Bloomer agreed that he too hoped this wouldn’t happen but added that sometimes, players became dissatisfied enough to request that they be traded to another team. Rappahannock School Board members have all expressed their dissatisfaction with the reassignment, noted Mrs. Bear. Bloomer .countered that the Board possibly had information that was unavailable to him. Mrs. Bear said she understood that the Board had sent a letter to Bloomer the previous week, apparently referring to a resolution passed at the School Board’s special Sunday night meeting, requesting that Mrs. Baines be returned to her position as science teacher. Bloomer indicated that he had received no correspondence from the Board. “I’ll check into that,” Mrs. Bear responded. Donna Fisher stated that something should be said as to the importance of the teacher for the new fifth-sixth combination class. Noted For Techniques The students in this special class are under-achievers, working below their ability levels, according to Bloomer. Knowing the strengths of the teachers at the elementary school, Mrs. Baines was assigned to take this class, said Bloomer, because she is “noted for motivational techniques.” After stating that he too had opposed Mrs. Baines’ reassignment, Newbill Miller said that Bloomer had taken tremendous pressure from the School Board and the community to rescind the action. “The man obviously isn't going to change...I would hope that Rappahannock County would put that behind them...I think it’s time for the community to concede and get along with the job of educating children.” Maybelle Gilkey commented that the reassignment was actually a compliment for Mrs. Baines and her abilities as a teacher. "I think she’s an excellent teacher,” agreed Judy Kenyon, "and will do well wherever she’s placed.” “The decision on the reassignment was not an easy decision to make," said Bloomer, adding that he would still follow the same course if he had it to do all over again. “I do not intend to be wishy-washy,” he added. Sharon Kilpatrick asked if the reassignment signaled a new policy of assigning teachers on the basis of what was best for the school system rather than on personal preferences. In the past, assignments in county schools had been made on the principal that “rank has its privileges,” she maintained, noting that first grade positions had been usually left to first year teachers after the teachers who had been in Rappahannock schools the longest had been assigned to the positions they wanted. Is Mrs. Baines’ reassignment to a fifth-sixth combination a “one shot attempt to set this kind of standard in teacher placement or will this be a continued effort?” asked Mrs. Kilpatrick. If assignments are made on the basis of individual preferences rather than on the good of the system, “then we’re in trouble,” Bloomer responded. He added that he hoped the two would correspond. “My policy is an administrative team approach,” Bloomer continued. “If I have no confidence from my staff, then my recommendation would be that they go or I go.” Another person in the audience noted that many (Continued on Page 5) Bids Out On Road Work The Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation will receive bids for 48 construction and repair projects on Tuesday, September 20, in Richmond.

Transfer Voting Registration All Virginians who move their place of residence prior to November 8 are urged to transfer their voting registration to the election district of their new residence on or before October 8, 1977. If a voter fails to advise the registrar of his change of residence, and the move occurred before the November General Election, the voter may not be permitted to vote, according to information released by the State Board of Elections. Virginia law requires that a person, to be entitled to vote, must be a citizen of the United States, eighteen years of age, a resident of Virginia and of the precinct in which he offers to vote and must be duly registered and otherwise qualified under the Constitution. People are advised to change their voting registration when they move at the same time they change their telephone and other utilities, the address on their driver’s license and credit cards. This eliminates any questions.

Because many of us live too far from neighbors for our children to have constant playmates, we have a tendency to let the television become a playmate. As parents we can do two things to see that our children are not harmed by excessive television viewing. We can write sensible, clear letters to local station managers and send copies to the networks, sponsors, the press and our congressmen. Commend what is good, complain about what is bad and offer constructive suggestions for improvement. We can limit the viewing of television, both as to which programs are watched and the length of time spent watching. Parents can help schoolage children learn to be discriminating viewers. Watch television with your children and comment on what you see. Parents should assume responsibility for the television programs that come into their homes. Information Free From Social Security People can get help, free of charge, in getting in* formation from their social security record, according to Bruce Hundley, social security branch manager in Culpeper. "Some private organizations are charging fees to help people get information from Government records,” Hundley said. “But you don’t have to pay anyone to help you get information from your social security record. Any social security office will be glad to help you without charge.” Under the law, people generally can get information that’s under their name and social security number in records kept by the Social Security Administration. People can get a report of earnings credited to their social security number, free of charge, by filling out and mailing a "Request for Statement of Earnings” form that is available at any social security office.

Sin THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1,1977 J Scouting In Jeopardy The Rappahannock Scouting movement is in jeopardy. Leaders for both boys and girls are faced with having to disband established troops or at best, accept no new members, because of lack of adult volunteers. The Woodville Cub Den is bursting with 13 boys. Scout regulations suggest that membership be limited to six. The leader there may have to decide which children can stay and which will have to drop out if help isn’t found. Amissville Scout leaders are sure that there are more children in the community interested in joining the scouting program. Unfortunately, there aren’t enough adult volunteers to go around in that end of the county either. The Girl Scouts may lose an intermediate troop and no new little ones can be accepted as Brownies in the Washington-Sperryville area without more women willing to supply leadership. A troop or a den can be managed adequately on four to five hours of time a week, if that’s all a volunteer is able to give. The rewards are enormous when measured in terms of personal satisfaction. These children are the future of this county. By involvement in their growth, leaders are helping to mold that future. Rappahannock has limited recreational facilities for youngsters. The Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, the Brownies, the Webelos and the Cubs help to fill a real need. In the scouting programs, children have fon and at the same time, learn responsibility, citizenship and the importance of consideration for others through community service projects. It would be a shame to see this fine program curtailed because we can’t find a few people willing to donate just a few hours a week. Sen. Miller Sees No Change (Continued from Page 1) not eligible for more or because the county was not applying for the funds. Miller answered that Rappahannock was receiving less because of the basis for granting money. In order for the county to receive more funds from the state) the GED Testing The General Educational Development (GED Test), for those persons who were once enrolled in school but who did not complete graduation requirements, will be given on Saturday, September 10 and Saturday, September 17 beginning at 9:00 a.m. at the Warren County High School, Luray Avenue, Front Royal, Virginia. Attendance at both sessions is necessary to complete the entire battery of tests. The tests, administered and supervised by the Adult Education Service of the State Department of Education, are designed to measure the educational development of individuals who left school before graduation. The battery of five tests in English Composition, Social Studies, Natural Science, Literature and Mathematics are designed to measure the major skills that result from four-year high school curriculum. By achieving satisfactory scores on GED tests adults may earn a high school equivalency certificate; qualify for admission to college or advanced educational opportunities; meet educational requirements for employment or promotion; satisfy educational qualifications for induction in the United States Armed Forces. Certificates may be issued to civilian and military personnel who meet the following requirements: An applicant must be at least 19 years of age. Under special circumstapces which are considered justifiable by local school authorities, the age limit may be lowered. Applicants must have been a physical resident of Virginia thirty days prior to applying for testing. Persons interested in taking the test may apply at their local office of the Superintendent of Schools in the County in which he resides. Applications will be accepted through September 7. A foe of $7.50 is charged for the battery of five tests and $1.50 for each re-test. Applicants who apply must present their Social Security Card when an application is made for GED.

X formula that applies to educational funding would have to be changed, he added. Formula Not Accurate “The formula doesn’t do mathematically what the legislators say it will do,” maintained Newbill Miller. Two mathematics teachers from the high school applied the formula to the amount of aid received by Rappahannock from the state and figured that the land values had received 75 per cent weight, rather than 50 per cent, according to Miller. As far as sales tax revenues were concerned, Miller said that a tremendous amount of money from retail sales was going into the kitty in Culpeper, Front Royal and Warrenton—money spent by Rappahannock residents that the county wasn’t given credit for. He criticized the General Assembly’s action in deciding not to increase taxes while the legislators mandated more and more programs for which localities have to raise money. “If these programs are so necessary,” he told the Senator, “then you all ought to pull your share...If we’re going to pay for it, at least let us decide what we’re going to do.” Senator Miller acknowledged that a “real problem” existed with programs mandated by the state in rural areas. He noted also that rural counties like Rappahannock frequently fail to get credit for sales tax because residents work elsewhere and spend their money before they get back home. Getting back to the formula, Newbill Miller told the Senator that neighboring Fauquier County received more state aid per pupil than Rappahannock. “No one can tell me that we have a higher ability to pay than they do,” he stated. "What you’re saying is that there is an inequity in the formula based on application,” said Senator Miller. “If you check into it, it will make my week worthwhile,” Newbill Miller responded. “If you write it down and don’t look at it again, then I’ll have the same week as I did last week.” Problems With Change Senator Miller explained that the General Assembly had a problem in taking the state school budget and isolating it. Any changes made in the formula for funding local education cuts into other areas and so the legislators have to balance demands, he maintained. He emphasized tht he wasn’t saying inequities couldn’t be corrected, “There are things ‘ we can do,” he added, citing recent opposition in Rappahannock and Culpeper to moving funding for vocational and special education programs to the basic aid category. (Currently, Rappahannock pays SO per cent of the costs of special programs with the other half coming from the state. Moving the programs to the basic education category would make Rappahannock responsible for 60 per cent of the costs.) “Awareness (of problems with state funding procedures for education) is increasing...but democracies are slow creatures,” stated the Senator. A member of the audience questioned the state policy of establishing minimum funding levels per student that applied to all localities. He added that he didn’t think a $1500 per pupil expenditure in an urban county necessarily guaranteed a better education than a lower per pupil expenditure in a rural county. “It’s true that dollars don’t make good education,” Senator Miller agreed. The speaker continued that the saturation of money into a school system reaches the point where it no longer serves a purpose and instead, creates waste. As an example, he noted that a school system could decide to paint a building twice a year rather than once in order to use all of it’s allocation and not have the funding level for the following year cut because money was left over. Miller acknowledged that this kind of policy created problems throughout all facets of government, not just the schools. "Programs need to be designed so that money left over is an asset and won’t have a negative impact on next year’s budget ...Programs are not designed to foster wise use of funds. They are not designed to encourage savings,” the Senator concluded. ++++ A suburbanite put on a last-minute spurt of speed to catch his train—but missed it.

VD Shows Alarming Increase One in four persons in Virginia will have venereal disease before they are 25 and one in ten will contact VD before graduating from high school. These and other chilling statistics have prompted Governor Mills E. Godwin Jr. to declare September as Venereal Disease Education and Prevention Month in an effort to focus attention on the problem. According to a fact sheet distributed by the Virginia Alliance for the Eradication of Venereal Disease, Virginia ranked 16th in the nation in gonorrhea based on cases per 100,000 population and ranked 11th in syphilis. VD cases are found in EVERY city and county in Virginia with reported cases representing approximately one-fourth of the actual cases. Estimated minimal costs of VD to Virginia’s taxpayers is $26,000,000 per year. Gonorrhea, the most prevalent of the venereal diseases, has shown a steady increase in Virginia over the past 13 years. Only the common cold affects more people than gonorrhea, according to the State Health Department. “Three factors make-, gonorrhea hard to control,” said Jim Houlihan, VD Program Supervisor. "They are the short incubation period, the large number of cases and the absence of a relatively easy test to detect the disease.” In addition, 85 per cent of the females and 25 per cent of the males infected with gonorrhea have no visible symptoms of the disease. Not only in Virginia but throughdut the country, VD is reaching epidemic proportions. In 1972, a national toll free hotline informational service was established in response to the staggering increase in the VD problem. Facts on the venereal diseases and related medical problems with referral service to local treatment facilities are available by calling 1-800523-1885—anonymously and at no cost. In Rappahannock County, persons who suspect that they may be infected with VD can get free testing and treatment at the county Health Department. Public Health nurse Frances Thornton emphasized that all cases, including those that involve teenagers, will be confidential. Parents do not have to be consulted or notified. Anyone seeking additional information on venereal diseases can call the Health Department in Washington at 675-3516. ++++ Every day in life is a leaf in thy history. —Arab Proverb —Photo by Lyt Woods/lor The Rappahannock New* A BUTTERFLY RESTS for a moment on a leaf after ha erratic, carefree flight.

Use Caution In Purchasing Rye “Many fanners have been forced to feed their winter supply of roughages this summer because of the extended drought across the state. One way to supplement the winter requirements for feed is the planting of rye for fall and winter grazing,”,said Dennis Brown, Supervisor of Seed and Sod for the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce. For several years, the seeds of those varieties which are adapted to fall and winter grazing have been in short supply; however, the availability of the recommended varieties for fall planting is considerably improved according to Brown. “Farmers who want rye for fall and winter grazing should use caution in purchasing their seed supply and purchase only that rye labeled as to variety and produced in Virginia or another Southern state,” he pointed out. Rye is normally of two general types, Southern and Northern, and there is a tremendous difference in their performance in Virginia. The Southern Type Bloomer Expounds on Querries (Continued from Page 1) graduates encountered difficulties in finding employment despite having a diploma. Graduates Need Job Skill “If we don’t educate the children within Rappahannock County so that they have a skill to get a job, we’re going to pay through our institutional system or welfare system...or other social services,” stated the Superintendent. He said that some students were not going to care about getting an education and would drop out of school no matter how high the per pupil expenditure of the system. “Until we put dignity back into work, we’re in trouble. It’s too easy to get food stamps and welfare,” he maintained, adding that often it was possible to get more, money from not working than working. Bloomer was asked to comment on the chances of getting a qualified administrator to fill the vacancy this late. He answered that there were many individuals under contract as principal who would consider an assistant r principalship in the Rappahannock Elementary school as an advancement because of the fine name built up for the school by Mrs. Quaintance. As to the limited number of qualified applicants, Bloomer said this essentially meant “do you choose between three Cadillacs or five?” He added that he would not recommend an individual “that I think would do less than an adequate job.” More Than One Strike “Someone who skips out on a contract has created more than one strike,” commented Newbill Miller, citing the problems created for the county by Carter’s unexpected resignation. He said he didn’t think the cdunty should be in any big hurry to hire a new administrator, particularly if the choice was limited to persons currently under contract to other systems. Bloomer noted that he wouldn’t discuss employment with any individual who hadn’t first informed his superintendent of the negotiations. Mrs. Joseph Scherschel interjected that she felt personal considerations had a 1 NOTICE to Rappahannock Co. Farm Bureau Members: Don't bet your family's life on the chance that you might smell smoke.

Mr. and Mrs. Rodney Vest 987-8225 legitimate bearing on Carter’s decision to leave Rappahannock. “A contract is a contract,” answered Miller, describing Carter’s resignation as “not totally ethical.” Then a person who walks out on an elected term of office is not totally ethical either, countered Mrs. Scherschel, in apparent reference to Miller’s past resignation as county supervisor. Several persons in the audience, Miller along with them, laughed at her retort. The argument was dropped and the charged atmosphere defused. John Summers said that he felt political views had something to do with Carter’s resignation, based on his personal conversation with the man. Bloomer disagreed with the assertion and maintained, without going into specifics, that a recent account in the Rappahannock News of a discussion involving Carter and School Board members on political beliefs had been “misunderstood” and “taken out of context.” Bloomer maintained that School Board members were not concerned with political beliefs but rather with style of life that would allqw an applicant for a position in the Rappahannock school system to be happy in the county. Deficiency? Sharon Kilpatrick asked if loss of an administrator at the elementary school would cause a deficiency to be charged against Rappahannock under the standards of quality. Bloomer replied that he didn’t know the answer yet and would have to check into the matter. “Would assistance from the Superintendent’s office help?” she continued.

A drop in the state established ratio of professionals to students at the elementary school could affect just the elementary school’s accreditation while a similar deficiency charged against the system as a whole could affect the accreditation of both county schools. Mrs. Kilpatrick asked if someone from the current elementary school staff could be used as a part-time assistant principal. “I agree with Newbill,” she said, “on the criticism of hiring someone already under contract to another school system. The county shouldn’t adopt the policy of we’ve been done to so we’ll go out and do to another school system,” she maintained. Bloomer answered that he hoped to find an individual interested in the vacancy who was currently attending school. Such an applicant would be given preference over someone currently under contract, the Superintendent concluded. 5 Pc. Dinette Set. Table with 4 matching chairs. Now $59.88. 7 Pc. Dinette Set.

Davis Street FURNITURE Co., Inc. Culpeper Rye will continue to grow as long as the soil temperatures are above 40 degrees Fahrenheit; therefore, they will provide grazing in the fall and throughout much of the winter months. For the Northern Type Rye produced in Nebraska, South Dakota, and other Mid-Western States, they will become dormant with the coming of winter and do not produce any further top growth until after several days of continuous warm weather. For Virginia, this is normally in the early spring. Consequently, if the Southern Type Rye is not planted, a farmer will not receive any above growth after the first cold temperatures. Farmers can be reasonably sure they are getting adapted variety suitable for fall and winter grazing if they purchase by variety name and from a reliable dealer. The farmer who purchases rye with a Mid-Western origin, a rye that is not labeled as to variety, rye that is labeled variety “unknown” has no assurance of getting a Southern Type Rye. Besides providing fall and winter grazing, the same field of rye can be killed with a herbicide in the spring followed by the sod planting of corn. Bermudagrass pastures can also be overseeded with rye this fall as another means of supplementing the winter feed program. The earliest date rye for fall and winter grazing should be planted is after August 15. Wood Heat four House Yourself.

The current Red Cross training manual for First Aid and Emergency Care provides some grim reminders for each of us; "Statistics show that accidents are the leading cause of death among persons from 1 year old to 38 years old; thereafter, accidents are one of the leading causes. 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 many billions of dollars each year, not to mention the toll in pain, suffering, disability, and personal tragedy." Being reminded is 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 fed that the reason for this typical effort is also important for you to know about. To help alleviate the statistics quoted above is basic to the mission of the SVRS. Prompt rescue service, first aid knowledge 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 State 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 assistance. Your support will enable us to continue serving you. Please make your check payable to SVRS and send it to Cedi Baldwin. Sperryville, Virginia 22740. Cedi Baldwin, Chairma^.,,, „ Ian Pryde Pete Luke Julian Brown Finance Committee Respectfully, Dale J.

More than 98 percent of the electricity produced for Potomac Edison customers comes from coal. ‘Although the cost of every pound of coal has increased tremendously since 1971,” he continued, “our efficient use of that fuel has been a factor in limiting the increase in our electric rates to a level lower than many other utilities. Despite increasingly stringent environmental regulations which cause costly reductions in efficiency, we have maintained a high position relative to other utilities in fuel efficiency.” “Nationally,” he added, “the average cost of a kilowatthour of electricity to residential customers of investor-owned utilities in 1976 was 3.83 cents. The average cost to Potomac Edison’s residential customers was 3.40 cents.” Box Lunches There will be box lunches on sale in the dining room of the Hopewell Baptist Church, Sperryville, on Saturday, Sept. 3, beginning at 12 noon.

Eye Emergency Advice “About 41 per cent of visual impairments due to injuries occur in the home,” according to Mrs. Wilfred G. Gill, Executive Director of the Virginia Society for the Prevention of Blindness. “Among the causes,” she said, “are burns from household cleaning products and other corrosive chemicals, hazardous toys, and careless use of everyday objects.” "The Virginia Society wants everyone to know what to do in an eye emergency” Mrs. Gill said. “Knowing how to handle these situations could save your eyes.” BLOWS TO THE EYE: Apply cold compresses immediately, for 15 minutes; again each hour as needed to reduce pain and swelling. In case of discoloration or “black eye”, which could mean internal damage to the eye—see a doctor. CHEMICAL BURNS: Eye damage from chemical burns may be serious! In all cases of eye contact with chemicals, FLOOD the eye with water, continuously and gently, for at leaSt 15 minutes. Hold the head under a faucet or pour water into the eve using any clean container. Keep the eye open wide during flooding. Then see a doctor. DO NOT use an eye cup or bandage the eye. CUTS AND PUNCTURES: Bandage the eye lightly and see a doctor at once. DO NOT wash out the eye with water or try to remove an object stuck in the eye. SPECKS IN THE EYE: Lift the upper eyelid outward and down over the lower lid and let tears wash out the speck or particle. DO NOT rub the eye. If it doesn’t wash out—keep the eye closed, bandage it lightly and see a doctor. A free medicine cabinet sticker on “First Aid for Eye Emergencies” is available free by writing Prevent Blindness, P. O. Box 2020, Richmond, Virginia 23216. Ask, too, for information on eye safety. The Virginia Society is an affiliate of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, the oldest voluntary health agency nationally engaged in preventing blindness through community service programs, public and professional education and research. $he fiinal (^Jribut/i CLORE FUNERAL HOME "The Home of Thoughtful Service" PHONE 825-2361 CULPEPER CEMETERY MEMORIALS f OLD DOMINION \ Manufacturing Cu.r Inc.

Calves Wintered On Fescue A Lee County farmer successfully wintered steer and heifer calves on stockpiled fescue during one of the worst winters on record for southwest Virginia, and increased his profit by $670. Bartee Wallen of Wallens Ridge, with the assistance of his Extension agent, Harley Young, was able to carry 21 steer and heifer calves from Dec. 1 until April IS on only 300 pounds of hay per head. The rest of the feed for the 135-day period was obtained from grazing 12 acres of fescue pasture that had been fertilized with 82 pounds of nitrogen, 75 pounds of phosphorous and 75 pounds of potash per acre in August. Wallen has a small herd of beef cows and normally sells his calves at weaning. By using stockpiled fescue, he was able to keep his calves over the winter for spring sale and by doing so, increase their value more than $1,200, H. John Gerken Jr., Extension animal scientist at Virginia Tech, reported. Added costs for fertiliser used and the hay that was fed for 30 days while snow covered the ground was about $560. Subtracting these costs from the increased value of the calves resulted in a return to labor and management of $670 amounting to an increase of $32 per head, Gerken said. The project was conducted as a demonstration by the Lee County Extension office and involved the Extension unit technicians assigned to ftuummyuiimmiuammiumiiuiiBi Lee County unit. Technicians participating were Echol Bledsoe, D. R. Munsey, W. O. Poteet and Harold Standifer. Fertilizer for the demonstration was provided by the Tennessee Valley Authority. .7 Pound Per Day Gain The calves gained an average of % pounds during the 135-day period or about 0.7 pound per day. Steers gained slightly more than heifers at 0.78 pounds per day compared to 0.68 pounds for heifers. The average weight of the calves on Dec. 1 was 384 pounds while on April 15, the average weight was 480 pounds. Steers increased in value from $140 per head in December to $212 in April while heifers were worth $84 in December and $138 in April. Values are based on feeder prices in the area at fall and spring sales. Hay was fed for a 30-day period in January. During this period of severe weather, calves maintained their .weight but gains during all other four-week weigh periods during the winter, while the calves were grazing the fescue, were in excess of one pound per day. Estimates of the yield of forage available on Dec. 1 when the demonstration started was 1.5 tons of hay per acre. Samples taken at that time contained 16.6 percent protein and 27.2 percent fiber on a dry basis. FUNT HILL GARAGE 1 All Star Used Cars I fcMMMMMHMMMNMMMMMMMMMMMMWMMMMMM** Buy— Sell— Trade!

Trespassers Will Be Corralled New steps are being taken, announced Acting Superintendent William Loftis of Shenandoah National Park, to solve a persistent and hazardous :A stray cattle problem on the roadsides in the Park. According to Loftis, cattle from adjoining private lands have been frequently found trespassing in the Park which is not only a violation of the Park regulations but constitutes a serious traffic Flint Hill Meetings The Ladies* Auxiliary of the Flint Hill Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad will have a meeting Tuesday, Sept. 6 at 7:30 p.m. at the fire hall. The Fire and Rescue Squad members will meet the next night, Wednesday, Sept. 7, at 7:30 at the fire hall. hazard to Park motorists. Such cattle are frequently found on and adjacent to Skyline Drive. Because of this continuing problem Park Rangers will now catch and corral all trespass cattle until the owner is contacted. If ownership is not known, a description of the cattle will be advertised. If an owner is not found, the animals will be disposed of by public auction. Cattle owners should be aware that they can be charged in Federal Court for cattle trespass in the National Park. They will also have to pay all expenses associated with the capture and corralling of the trespass animals. Requests have been made to the owners to upgrade the quality of their fences. Little or no improvement has been noted in the repair of fences or a decrease in cattle trespass thus requiring these new steps.

Its purpose is to provide a means for protecting and improving agricultural (and (forestall land as an important part of the economy and as a major economic and environmental resource. Districts start with local initiative. Landowners can requcM the formation of an agricultural district. A minimum of 500 acres is required. No single land owner can have more than 3500 acres in agricultural districts. A number of landowners, each having less than 500 acres, can join together to form a district. The parcels of land forming the district are not required to be contiguous. County governments must certify a proposed district. A public hearing is held by the county to determine citizen sentiment. Recommendations from the county planning commission and the county agricultural district advisory committee and approval by the county Board of Supervisors are required. The Board of Supervisors must act on a request within 180 days after submission. Agricultural districts help farming because it provides incentives for continued production: 1. Local ordinances cannot restrict structures and activities normal to farming. 2. Public agencies cannot take farm land without special justification. 3. Sewer and water taxes cannot be levied on farm land, beyond a house and lot, once a district has been formed. 4. Property tax assessments may be based on agricultural instead of market value, even if the County has not adopted land use taxation. 5. Probably most important, the district insures that large acreages will be dedicatd to farming for a relatively long period of time. It gives stability to the farmer and lets him make the big capital investments needed for modern agriculture. It also keeps farm related business (machinery, feed, equipment, auction and sales, etc.) in business. Orange County farmers have already started this program, and we understand that they have 17,000 acres in it. If you would like additional information on this subject, call your Extension Office 675-3619 and ask for “Virginia’s Agricultural and Forestal District Act: A Review” by J. Paxton Marshall.

If conditions of high temperatures and low rainfall continue, water usage may be restricted in some areas. The State Health Department, which oversees the operations of local water purification plants, and the State Water Control Board, which concentrates on conservation of natural water resources offer the following conservation hints that may reduce the possibility of enforced control measures. These suggestions are equally important to those households on public water systems as well as those supplied by wells. The two most common causes of wasted water are leaky faucets and running toilets. A leaking faucet can waste up to 4,000 gallons in 24 hours; a running toilet wastes up to almost 9,000 gallons in the same amount of time. The first rule in home water conservation is to fix leaks immediately. Check for commode leaks by placing food coloring in the water tank and checking the bowl for leakage. In The Bathroom Flush toilets only when necessary, not after every use. Each flush uses between five and seven gallons. Don’t use toilets to get rid of facial tissues, gum wrappers and cigarette butts. Imagine using a five gallon jug of water to douse a cigarette. Most toilets use more water than necessary. Place a water-filled plastic soap bottle in the tank to displace some of the water. Most shower heads use water at a rate of between five and 10 gallons per minute. Use a kitchen timer to limit showers to four minutes. Install a flow-control insert in each shower head. Hardware stores have them for less than $1. For tub baths, fill only one-quarter full. Plug the drain in tubs and sinks before adjusting water temperature. Turn off water while brushing teeth or shaving. In The Kitchen Most of the 80 gallons of water each of us use per day in the home is used in the bathroom. Kitchen operations rank second. These recommendations are offered. —Avoid running the tap for cooler drinking water by keeping cold water in the refrigerator. —Run automatic dishwashers only when full. They claim the most water in the kitchen, about IS gallons per run. —When buying an automatic dishwasher, buy a water saving model. —Don’t use running water to pre-rinse dishes. —If you are the dishwasher, avoid using running water also. Use one sink-full of water to wash and one of clear water to rinse.

In The Lawn Or Garden A half-inch garden hose delivers more than 600 gallons of water an hour at normal household pressure. A 5-8-inch hose carries more than a 1,000 gallons per hour. —Water your lawn or garden only in the cool of the day. Hot or windy days increase evaporation. —Water the ground slowly to allow time for the water to soak in. This avoids runoff. ■ *—Sprinkle children at the same time you water the lawn. —Turn off the water when finished. A leaky hose nozzle or unattended sprinkler can waste thousands of gallons of water a day. —Don’t sweep walks and driveways with a stream of costly water. —Mulch plants to retain moisture. Meeting Set Then* will be an important meeting September 1 at 8 p.m. at the Mt. Salem Baptist Church near Washington. ++++ The sin, confusion, and disillusionment of life can be replaced by righteousness, joy, contentment, and happiness. A peace can be imparted to the soul that is not dependent on outward circumstances. This cure was provided by Jesus Christ two thousand years ago on the cross of Calvary. —Billy Graham (Ptrituaroa Gilbert Otto W. (Billy) Gilbert Jr., of Warrenton died August 21, 1977 at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Perry Point, Md. A funeral service was conducted August 24 from the Moser Funeral Home in Warrenton with burial in the Masonic Cemetery in Washington, Va. Mr. Gilbert was born in Ruckersville on June 22, 1923, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Otto W. Gilbert. Surviving are a daughter, Miss Catherine E. Gilbert of Warrenton; a sister, Mrs. Mary G. Latham of Amissville; and one brother, Jackie G. Gilbert of Marshall. Kinsey A funeral service was held Saturday, August 27, for William Edward Kinsey of Culpeper at the Geest Funeral Chapel in Culpeper with interment in Fairview Cemetery. The Rev. Robert Birth Announced Mr. and Mrs. Carl Longmire, Sr. of Chester Gap have received word of the arrival of a new grandson, Joshua Robert Longmire born in the Winchester Hospital, August 21, to Mr. and Mrs. Michael Longmire, now of Woodstock. The mother is the former Miss Sharon Timmons, and the maternal grandparents, the Charles Timmons of Waterlick. Girl Scout News With school starting, Girl Scout activities are about to get underway again, but these will be severely curtailed unless more troop leaders can be found. Pat Helmer and Diane Watson, who have been working with the Junior troop, are moving up with the girls now in seventh grade to form a new Cadette troop at the elementary school. Valerie Jones will be leading the Cadette troop at the high school. Most of these girls are ninth graders and will move up to Senior Scouting next year. Now there are no leaders for the Junior Troop, and girls in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades who are interested in scouting will have no troop unless leaders are found. The Brownie troop with Carolyn Manwaring and Ruth Williams for leaders is already full with 20 girls who belonged to the troop last year now in second and third grades. Unless more leaders can be found so the group can be split into two troops, no first graders and no more second and third graders can become Brownies. Most of the girls who have participated in Girl Scouting in Rappahannock County have enjoyed the experience. They have learned not only the skills of camping and making things with their hands, but the joys of community service and most importantly the character traits of friendliness, helpfulness, responsibility and integrity. Tomorrow’s women need the help of today’s women if they are to become the kind of citizens we need. It would be a fine thing if all the girls in Rappahannock Coupty who want to be in Girl Scouts could participate. Anyone interested in helping either as a leader or as an assistant to the leaders should call Valerie Jones at 937-4029. i RIDING CLINIC September 12 thru 17 Classes for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Riders. 2-hour classes each day for each division taught by Louise Cotulla.

Overweight Carriers Approved remission has been granted by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation to allow the shipping of hay into the state with a vehicle that is overdimensional and overweight. In making the announcement, Commissioner S. Mason Carbaugh of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce pointed out that recent cold winter forced many farmers to use up hay faster than their noma) rate of use, and now the drought was continuing this shortage. “As far as the weather is concerned,” said the Commissioner, “reports reaching my office indicate that while we have had some rainfall across the state the topsoil mosture is still declining. “We are continuing to try to find hty and grain supplies for needy farmers and have accumulated a listing of in- and out-of-state sellers. These lists,” he said, “are available from the Department. Our special clearinghouse number (800552-3839) is available for all who need information.” Overweight hauling permits will be available at all Highway Department Residency offices, District offices, and the Richmond Permit Office. There will be no charge for the permit and each vehicle must carry the written permit, having it available for inspection by either State Police or Highway Department officials. The Commissioner cautioned that all haulers must have directional signals, brake lights, rear tail lights and marker lights fully visable. The following vehicles may travel after obtaining a permit: 1. Single-unit vehicles will be permitted an overall length of SO feet. 2. Tractor-trailer vehicles will be permitted an overall length of 65 feet. 3. An increase of.singleaxle weights to 24,000 pounds will be allowed. In addition to the above, the following conditions will also be allowed to assist in ease of travel: 1. An increase of tandemaxle weight to 40,000 pounds will be permitted. 2. Travel at night and on weekends is approved, thus allowing travel 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Fireflies: An Endangered Species? Washington — Japan, which gave the world cultured pearls, is now the home of the cultured firefly. The insect whose soft yellow glow adds a special magic to a summer’s eve has been one of the casualties of industrial progress in cities in Japan, as well as in the United States. Firefly populations have declined to the point where some urban youngsters now grow up without ever glimpsing those will-of-thewisp flashes of light that mark a firefly’s flight through the night air. Given Official Status Three years ago, the slowflying beetles that children love to catch in their hands received formal recognition when they were declared the official insects of Pennsylvania. Even if the honor didn’t inspire them to glow with added luster, it was an improvement over the recognition “lightning bugs” customarily get from small boys who trap them in jars. But Japan has moved beyond ceremonial gesture and taken action, breeding fireflies to be released in Tokyo on summer nights. An official explained that “sometime in everybody’s life he must chase a firefly in one form or another.” Firefly cultivation, currently a very small industry, apparently grew from the problem confronted a decade ago by one of the Japanese capital’s largest outdoor restaurants. The restaurant found that as Tokyo had become more crowded and industrialized, the fireflies whose intermittent flashes enhanced diners’ pleasure had almost disappeared. Management paid people to trap the insects in rural areas where they were still numerous and deliver them to the city to gleam hi the restaurant’s spacious garden, the National Geographic Society notes. Funds For Breeding Then in 1973 one district of the city began providing money for breeding and raising fireflies, so that the insects again would shine in neighborhood parks and streets. The program now costs more than $15,000 a year. Its high point is an annual festival in July when crowds turn out to watch hundreds 3f glimmering fireflies freed 1 from atop a specially-built < tower. 1 Those fleeting beacons that i Reach nearly everyone in Rappahannock County with your Classified Ad.
