INIA STATS LI32AHT ICHJfQ]iD 19. VA. 23^19 The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 28th Year, No. 42 10 Pages THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8,1977 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3349 15* Compensation Board Rules On Mileage Question By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The State Compensation Board may no longer reimburse Rappahannock County for mileage in policing county businesses and residences, according to information received by the Supervisors at last Thursday’s Board meeting. Chairman E. P. Luke read a letter received by Sheriff W. A. Buntin from the Compensation Board’s Executive Secretary John Rasnick that stated “to be reimbursable the trip must be made in response to a complaint, making an inspection or visiting known or reported (complaint) potential trouble spots or areas in an effort to prevent probable law violations, serving warrants or summons, etcetera. Mileage accumulated in routine checking or checking private residences and commercial establishments is not considered an allowable item for reimbursement unless preceeded by a special request.” In response to these findings, the supervisors authorized Luke to work with Sheriff Buntin in setting up police procedures that would satisfy both the Compensation Board and Board of Supervisors. The notification from the Compensation Board culminates the controversy between the Rappahannock Sheriffs Department and Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis over what is and is not reimbursable mileage. Davis has maintained that the Sheriffs practices constitute patrolling and as such, must be paid for by the county, not reimbursed by the Compensation Board. Audit Made After repeated objections to the Compensation Board by Davis, a mileage audit was undertake^ by Z. L. Spence, acting for the Compensation Board. In his audit report, Spence stated that “Davis has complained that the Sheriff and his deputies have falsely reported mileage items for reimbursement by the Commonwealth. ’ ’ Spence found that, in most cases, the Sheriffs Department records agreed with information on the mileage forms. However, he noted in his report that no comparison could be made between mileage forms and charges for “policing.” In his report Spence said he asked Sheriff Buntin for the difference between patrolling and policing. “Sheriff Buntin said patrolling meant to him a Deputy would ride through or along a certain area lookihg for violators of the law. Whereby, in “policing” a Deputy would ride around certain buildings, private or commercial, etc. to see if any doors or windows were open, to see if anything unusual was happening or to determine if any suspicious individuals were around the building,” according to the audit report. Spence’s report recommended that: —License number and speedometer readings be entered on mileage forms. —Mileage claims during fiscal year 1977-78 for policing be disallowed, “as this Auditor cannot understand how one can delineate the difference between patrolling and policing.” —Governing bodies and Sheriffs of each locality be notified that only mileage for answering specific complaints will be reimbursed by the Commonwealth. Trouble Spots After Luke relayed the information received from the Compensation Board, he brought out a map pinpointed with red dots to mark sites of crime in the county. He noted that ap(Continued on Page 2) LISA, THE ELEPHANT, a member of the Circus Kirk which will perform Friday, September 16 at Washington carnival grounds, enjoys a cool drink and pleasant conversation with Boffo the clown while waiting for her cue.

RLEP To Host Meeting The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection will hold its quarterly meeting on Friday, September 9, at 7:30 at the courthouse in Washington. Sewage disposal and solid waste disposal will be addressed by Leo Horvarth and Stanley Asteal, both nationally recognized experts in their fields. The meeting is open to the public and election of officers of the RLEP will be held following the program. A LARGE BARN OWNED BY CHARLIE COMPTON at Amissville burned furiously after being struck by lightning last Wednesday. The electric charge ignited the entire structure and in fifteen minutes the building caved in. Efforts of firemen saved nearby structures. Severe electrical storms have occurred in the area almost daily for the past ten days. Jones Sees No Change In Mileage Reimbursement John Jones, Executive Director of the Virginia State Sheriffs Association, said in a telephone interview this week that he didn’t think recent pronouncements by the State Compensation Board would have “any impact on the law enforcement policies of county Sheriffs Departments.” Jones said the letter received by Rappahannock Sheriff W. A. Buntin from Compensation Board Executive Secretary John Rasnick was primarily a lesson in filling out mileage forms and did not signal a change in mileage reimbursement policy. The letter and copies of an accompanying Compensation Board audit report were supplied the Supervisors by Sheriff Buntin in time for last week’s Board meeting. (See separate story). Commonwealth Attorney George Davis interpreted the letter and report as signaling an end to controversial policing procedures followed by Buntin and his deputies. Davis has continually advised the Supervisors Trash-Refuse Containers Remain A Problem The Rappahannock Supervisors began their meeting with a bang last Thursday when one of the. fluorescent light fixtures in^ the courtroom exploded,” leaving a small cloud of dense, black smoke. Someone thought to turn off the main power switch to the upstairs lights and the fire went out before it ever really got started —fortunately—since there was no fire extinguisher available. Besides the broken fluorescent fixture, the only apparent damage was to the nerves of those in the courtroom. The meeting quickly settled into routine business after the disturbance. Rappahannock’s con tinuing trash problem took up most of the 30 minutes spent on the short agenda. Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke reported that the District Solid Waste Management Director E. R. Foreman felt the county needed additional trash containers at the dumpster sites. Commonwealth's Attorney George Davis asked if more frequent emptying of the containers already at the sites wouldn’t be a more feasible solution. Luke replied that the dumpsters are currently emptied twice a week, on Fridays and Mondays. The only way to empty them more often, he added, would be to Developer Files Suit Developer C. L. Goode filed suit August 30 to overturn the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors recent denial of rezoning for his proposed Flint Hill subdivision. By majority vote, the Supervisors decided August 4 to uphold the Planning Commission’s recommendation which rejected Goode’s rezoning application for 70 acres currently in an agriculture district. County ordinances required that the tract be rezoned to residential subdivision before Goode could proceed with his plans for 14 five-acre lots. In his petition, Goode maintained that the rezoning to RS I “could lawfully have been granted under the application’’ and that the Supervisors had received no evidence that rezoning would adversely affect the public health, safety, morals or general welfare. He further stated that the county planning staff had submitted no report to either the Supervisors or the Planning Commissioners recommending denial of the application. County ordinances provide for residential development of the area within which the subject property is located, Goode continued in the suit. He also claimed that the existing agriculture zoning on the tract bore no reasonable or substantial relationship to the suitable use of the property. Denial of the rezoning application deprives the owner of legitimate and reasonable use of the property and as such, superceded the bounds of the Board of Supervisors’ legitimate exercise of its police powers and restricted use of the property without due process, according to Goode. schedule weekend pick-ups. Supervisor Butch Eastham asked what had happened in negotiations with the Washington Fire Department on locating a dumpster next to the station house. Luke tesponded that the firemen insisted on a $10 fee per month for each container. He maintained that it would be unfair to pay the Washington Fire Department to clean up their site when dumpster locations at H & J Grocery, Castleton and Chester Gap were supervised without charge. Luke and Supervisor H. B. Wood agreed to check on having the trash removal date switched to Saturday after Davis maintained that the largest volume of refuse was dumped between Friday evening and Saturday morning. In other action, the Board agreed to accept $100 from attorney J. W. Fletcher on behalf of his clients for clear title to .8 acres of property given to the county for use as a school. The Supervisors also authorized the purchase of a new electric typewriter by Clerk Diane Bruce, leaving model selection up to her. (Continued on Page 2) against approving mileage reimbursements for patrolling practices that he deems improper. It was at the request of the Commonwealth Attorney that both an in-depth State Police investigation and the audit by the Compensation Board were undertaken. The State Police investigation, completed several months ago, has brought no results. The audit report occasioned last week’s letter from the Compensation Board. “My opinion is that the Compensation Board will pay for policing in relation with any of those criteria in Rasnick’s letter,” said Jones on Tuesday. The letter states that reimbursable mileage is that accumulated in response to a complaint, making an in spection of known potential trouble spots or areas to prevent probable law violations, “serving warrants or summons, etcetera.” Policing activities are reimbursable, said Jones, just as long as it can be documented that the activity falls within the criteria. As an example, he said reimbursement wouldn't be forthcoming from the Compensation Board for “policing the county” but mileage for “policing Joe's pizza parlor because it’s a potential trouble spot" would be reimbursed. Jones added that reimbursement for mileage was a “gray area" with standards primarily based on precedents of what was done in the past. School Funds In Jeopardy Rappahannock County schools may lose state funds because of a drop below the mandated Standards of Quality for ratio of students to administrative and supervisory personnel. Superintendent William Bloomer said on Tuesday that he had not had the opportunity to check through the information on Standards of Quality regulations but guessed that the resignation of elementary principal Buddy Carter three weeks before the opening of schools left the county lacking onehalf to one individual manyear in ratio of supervisory personnel to teachers. He wasn’t sure whether the deficiency would be charged against the total school division or just the elementary school. He predicted that the matter would come up not once but several times at next Tuesday’s School Board meeting and said he would have an answer ready by that time. If the county schools fall below any of the Standards of Quality, Rappahannock could lose reimbursement from the state for education, according to Bloomer. He said he thought the loss would be prorated in some fashion. Last May, retired Superintendent O. A. Norton told the Rappahannock Supervisors that the county was funding below the minimum per child amount established by the state. The General Assembly set educational funding per child at a minimum of $825 for the coming year, said Norton, while Rappahannock’s school budget allowed for only $815. He warned the Supervisors that the county might be taking a big risk in going below the $825 minimum. “If we do not meet all the quality standards and fund below $825, we will have to return the state’s share of the difference between the funding levels," he warned. Retired School - Board Chairman E. N. Montague repeated Norton’s warning at the June School Board meeting. He noted specifically that Rappahannock schools were only one-half man year above the minimum state level for ratio of administrative personnel to pupils while the county funded below the minimum per pupil level. "If we slip on anything, we could lose considerable funds." he cautioned at his last School Board meeting. In the event that the county loses a portion of state funds, the money will have to be replaced from the general funds, Bloomer noted. He confirmed that the School Board hasn’t declared a vacancy in the principal's position to date and so no action can be taken to hire anyone to replace Carter. Currently, new elementary assistant principal Graham Spencer is covering the two administrative positions at the elementary school with help from Bloomer and assistant Superintendent Ray Hogan from the central office. —Marshall Hawkins/for 1T»e Rappahannock News WHEW! IT’S OVER. Jens Tholand and partner Mrs. Jean Bagby express both relief and joy after defeating Ann Thomas and Eric Adamson Monday in the final round of the 25th Annual Rappahannock Labor Day Invitational Mixed Doubles Whistle Cup Tennis Tournament. The finals were played on the courts of Dr. and Mrs. Werner Krebser, Meadow Brook Farms, Huntly. The preliminary rounds were played on several private courts around the county.

Board Rules on Mileage (Continued from Page 1) proximately one breaking and entering occurred every “In view of this and the part of the Code that says the Supervisors are responsible for auditing accounts, I talked to the Sheriff about improving the description of what goes on mileage reports,” said Luke. He reported that subsequently, descriptions had been “more in line with the intent of the letter from the Compensation Board.” He added that he hoped th6 Compensation Board would follow through with Spence’s recommendation to inform all localities in the state of the policy interpretation and not just apply the “no policing” to Rappahannock County. Luke suggested that the Supervisors adopt a formal resolution, request the Sheriffs Department to check “potential trouble spots” in the county to prevent law violations. Since the Compensation Board will not reimburse mileage accumulated in checking private businesses and residences unless a specific request is received, Luke continued, citizens should write the Sheriff a letter and make the formal request. “I think you’ve missed the point there,” Davis responded. Without an indication that a crime might be committed, a request from a citizen for policing services would not qualify mileage for reimbursement, he maintained. Although Davis acknowledged that "patrolling, under certain circumstances, may be effective, to a limited extent” in combating crime, he questioned its benefit when a large percentage (of breaking and entering crimes) are committed “after 12 p.m. when the residents are in bed asleep and so are the Sheriff and his Deputies.” He also noted that the radio contact kept between dispatcher and patrolling law offices made it difficult to deter criminals who were armed with citizen’s band radios and police scanners. What needs to be implemented, he said, are war time measures when the most effective defense was radio silence. “It doesn’t say that,’’ countered Buntin, in apparent reference to the letter addressed to him from the Compensation Board. “That also mentions mileage for policing potential trouble spots as reimbursable.’’ Luke read from'Spences’ recommendation in the audit report that stated only mileage in response to a complaint was reimbursable. Problems Solved? Buntin told the Supervisors that the auditor had spent only three to four hours investigating in Rappahannock. “If he can come up here from Richmond and solve our problem in three to four hours, he’s pretty good,” said the Sheriff. “I don’t agree with what he’s saying but that’s another fight,” Luke responded. The motion to authorize Luke to work with the Sheriff passed with Supervisor Eastham in opposition. The Board then voted unanimously to approve the accounts for August, including all mileage claims. Since the notification from the Compensation Board had been received so late in the month, Luke maintain^ it would be impossible to sort through all mileage claims and determine which met the new interpretation of what was reimbursable. Davis noted that any claims not approved by the Compensation Board would have to be paid by the county. Following this, the Supervisors went into an executive session, with Board of Zoning Appeals Chairman Josef Gardiner present, to discuss legal matters.

Any complaints with regard to discrimination in aging programs because of a handicap should be addressed to Sallie E. Stemple, 825-6494. While mileage payments have increased, the number of breaking and enterings have more than doubled, according to the Commonwealth’s Attorney. “Rappahannock is the highest burglary and larceny county in this section of the state,” he declared. Davis suggested that a scientific study on how to reduce crime be undertaken. He said that emphasis should be placed on lighting techniques used to discourage crime, and singled out the Rappahannock school as an example of the type of lighting that makes it easy to break in without detection. “By having lights on outside instead of inside the schools, a criminal can’t be seen, even if the building is policed,” he said. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin said he opposed a resolution requesting that the Sheriffs Department police only designated trouble spots. It wouldn’t be fair to all the county tax payers to only check a few areas, he maintained. Besides, he added, the crooks would just move over to another location if they knew the police would be somewhere else. Sheriff Buntin agreed with Baldwin’s argument against policing only specific areas. “Everyone should have the same protection,” he stated. “You’d have a hard time finding a spot on that map that’s not a trouble spot,” said Supervisor Butch EasU|am, and suggested that the decision on where to police be left to the sheriff. Supervisors Dick Latham and Clarence Baldwin agreed. Baldwin said that policing should be at the discretion of the sheriff, rather than publicized. “Let’s don’t tell the crooks in advance where he’s going to be,” Baldwin added. Supervisor H. B. Wood suggested that the Board give Chairman Luke authority to work with Sheriff Buntin on coming up with an acceptable procedure for patrolling. “Acceptable to who?” asked Davis. Both the Compensation Board and the Board of Supervisors, Wood answered. Davis insisted that mileage reimbursements for all items listed in the letter from Rasnick to Buntin must be “predicated on a complaint.” TRASH (Continued from Page 1) They agreed to accept Avery Faulkner’s formal contract for architectural services in designing an addition to the courthouse after voting unanimously to waive the competitive bid requirement. Supervisor H. B. Wood emphasized that all construction work involved in the project would be put out for bids. Finally, the Supervisors postponed naming a replacement for Carter White as member of the county Welfare Board until they can determine the law on age restrictions, White reached retirement age last month but since he passed the age limit in the middle of his term, Supervisor H. B. Wood said he thought that mandatory retirement didn’t apply immediately and that White could complete his term. Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad Sperryville, Virginia 22740 987-8787 Dear Citizens and Friends of Rappahannock County: We all need to be reminded and made fully aware that it i» not enough to say, "Call the doctor" ; a doctor may not be available to come to the scene of the emergency! 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 loss 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 feel 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 arc now asking you to volunteer your financial assistance. Your support will enable us to continue serving you.

Rappahannock Cedar Tubs Keep Folks In “Hot Water” Leaping into hot water may not be everybody’s idea of a good time but George Rosenbaunt and Peter Kreyling hope the fad catches on in the Northern Virginia area. The two men are partners in Rappahannock Hot Tubs, constructing fourfoot wide redwood vats that serve as a kind of backyard sauna. “They’re all the rage in California,” George commented. “We hope to make them all the rage here.” At least six companies manufacture redwood tubs on the East Coast where their popularity has spread beyond the health fadists, the young and the physical culture enthusiasts until a backyard hot tub has become the newest status symbol. Peter, who grew up in Japan, said the idea of a hot tub came initially from the Orient “The Japanese had three reasons for having them—to get warm before they went to bed at night because they didn’t have central heat, to get clean and to relax because'they didn’t have TV,” George added. Peter has had a hot tub that he built at his house in Harris Hollow for the last three years. His is a unique set-up because the water is heated with a wood stove and works on the principal of thermal convection. —Rappahannock News Staff Photo THE BUSINESS is in official operation with a sign, built by Barbara Noce from Country Cupboards, hanging on the workshop wall.

"Peter discovered it.” "I did not,” Peter'shot back. “It’s an age-old principal.” “We can supply wood heaters for our tubs,” George continued, “but gas heaters are simpler. The thermostat can be set, you can go out to dinner and when you come back, it’s ready.” He added that some tubs in California were heated with solar panels but suggested that Virginians interested in an alternate energy source for their tubs stick with wood. “We have more wood in Virginia than sunshine,” he maintained. George has tried Peter’s hot tub many times and swears by the experience. “I’ve used his when it’s snowing. It’s great to get into it when it’s real hot with the water temperature around 105 degrees or 110 degrees and it’s 30 degrees outside. Then, climb out and sit. The cold feels great. It’s like the people in Sweden who use their saunas and then run out and jump into a snow bank.” The partnership began almost by chance. Both men have other professions—Peter as an independent contractor and George as an apple and peach farmer. But George explained that the new joint venture promised something out of the ordinary; a little different, a little risky and a little exciting. Peter actually founded the enterprise. “Let’s make redwood tubs,” he suggested. “Let’s make redwood tubs,” he suggested. “All right. You build them. I’ll sell them,” agreed George. That’s about as far as the company went until the Washington Star carried a little blurb about Rappahannock Hot Tubs. The phone at George’s Follow Run Farm outside of Washington almost rang off the wall. After about 40 inquiries and two definite orders, the partnership got busy. “We’re still in the formative stages,” George emphasized, but to date, they have built and sold several tubs and completed Talent Show Planned Fun, food and entertainment will be presented at the 1977 Rappahannock All-Star Revue, a talent show to benefit Sursum Corda School scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 17 at the old school house in Washington. The revue promises to be a showcase for local talent, featuring Rappahannock performers in song, dance, instrumental and variety acts. Highlight of the show will be a performance by the Beaver Dam Band from Sperryville and the surrounding country side and well-known through the area for bluegrass and country music. Jeff Harper, disc jockey from WEER radio station in Warrenton, will emcee the show. Baked goods, popcorn, house plants, photographs and paintings by a local artist will also be on sale. Admission for the evening’s entertainment is S2 with Senior citizens admitted for $1 and children under 12 free. All proceeds from the revue and sale items will benefit the school and help to buy needed supplies and duplicating equipment. Sursum Corda is a private school in Washington in its second year of operation and offers classes from kindergarten through third grade. ++++ Never forget a customer, never let a customer forget you.

The four-foot high tubs are constructed from two by four staves with edges beveled at an angle to form a circle. The staves are held in place by one-half inch steel bands similar to silo bands. “The wood is never going to rot,” Peter added. The standard model will hold four soakers comfortably and includes a bench—inside, of course. Bathers sitting on the bench can relax in the therapeutically steaming waters that reach to about shoulder level. George and Peter suggest changing the water every three or four baths, although with a chlorinator, it can be kept clean for much longer. It takes 450 gallons to fill a five-foot tub and 300 gallons for a four-foot tub, they estimated. The tub comes with a redwood cover that helps to hold in the water’s heat between baths.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8,1977 Only The Facts Commonwealth Attorney George Davis presented some interesting statistics at last week’s Supervisor meeting—interesting but incorrect. Some of Davis’s “facts” appear misrepresented and some are down right wrong. Davis claimed that mileage paid to the Sheriff’s Department had increased while at the same time breaking and enterings had more than doubled, making Rappahannock County the leader in breaking and altering crimes in this section of the state. On the first charge, he’s absolutely wrong and we’d like to see the basis for the Commonwealth Attorney’s figuring. According to mileage records kept by Sheriff W. A. Buntin and his predecessor John Walker Jenkins, average monthly accumulation for 1975 was 9,256 miles. In 1976, this amount decreased to 7,939 miles per month and dropped even further during the first eight months of 1977 to an average of only 6,824 miles per month. Davis is half right on his breaking and entering statistics. The county does lead all other jurisdictions in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District for the number of breaking and enterings committed. However, the number of such crimes has not doubled, according to the Planning District’s Criminal Justice Plan. In 1975, 37 burglaries were reported. In 1976, the number grew to 49, an increase of 32 per cent. The report goes on to state that serious crime against persons and property increased by 52 per cent between 1975 and 1976. But, at the same time, the stolen property recovery rate rose from 0 to 29 per cent and the arrest clearance rate increased from 11 to 33 per cent. It’s evident that more crimes are being committed in Rappahannock, as well as throughout the rest of the country. At least here, the percentage of solved crimes has also increased. The Planning District’s Comprehensive Criminal Justice Report, prepared by experts in the field, reaches conclusions that may suprise Mr. Davis. It states that, in Rappahannock, “the apparent increase in crime may be attributed to more- comprehensive reporting in 1976 than in 1975.” The report continues: An interesting factor is that over 50 per cent of the landowners in Rappahannock County do not live in the county. Many part-time, summer, or vacation homes are located in Rappahannock. This results in crimes against property not being reported to authorities until they are discovered, which may be weeks after the offense occurred. The Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department has a total of three full-time sworn law enforcement personnel. In 1976 a burglary occurred almost weekly and only four were cleared by arrest. This may indicate a need for additional investigative personnel to meet increasing service demands being placed on the Sheriff’s Department. We wonder whether the Commonwealth Attorney’s battle with the Sheriff’s Department and the Supervisors over policing and mileage reimbursement was joined for the good of the county. From what we can tell, Rappahannock citizens appear satisfied with the quality of law enforcement here and want the Sheriff and his Deputies out policing as a visible deterrent to criminals. If Davis succeeds in his efforts to convince the State Compensation Board to disallow mileage reimbursements for policing activities, we think county residents would insist that the service continue. And who will pay the mileage charges? Not the Compensation Board, if Davis has his way. Instead the money will be drawn from the county’s general fund, with Rappahannock taxpayers bearing the entire load. Confederate Soldier , Information Sought Three companies of Rappahannock soldiers served in the 49th Regiment Virginia Infantry, Confederate Army. They were the ‘‘Flint Hill Riflemen”, Company E, enlisted June 16, 1861; the “Sperryville Sharpshooters”, Company K, enlisted June 18, 1861; and the ‘‘Rappahannock Rifles”, Company G, enlisted at Davis Barracks, Washington, Va., July 22, 1861. A history of the 49th Regiment is being written for publication in a profusely illustrated book for which obituaries, diaries, photos, etc. of the Rappahannock soldiers are needed. Anyone having such items should contact Laura Virginia Hales, 218 Lee St., Front Royal, Va. 22630 or phone 635-2692. A picture of Davis Barracks is sought when the Confederate soldiers came to Washington to sign up in the “Rappahannock Rifles.” The National Archives show that these men enlisted here. According to Ms. Hale, the book is planned as a nice volume, hard backed and with many pictures. It must be as complete and accurate as possible, especially the rosters. There seem to be many discrepancies in the available Archives records. Please inform Ms. Hale or leave information or pictures at the Rappahannock News Office for her. The cooperation of the public will add much to the authenticity of the publication. Our Rappahannock Heritage Rappahannock County Forests PART V: RECREATION AND AESTHETICS by Lyt Wood County Forester Historically, the act of setting aside a substantial acreage of good (or even marginal) land for “aesthetic” or “recreational” purposes has always caused impassioned controversy. Our own down-home example is of course the Shenandoah National t*ark, which includes over 30,000 acres of Rappahannock County at the expense of private ownership, some prime timberlands, and a chunk of the county tax base. As I mentioned in an earlier essay, recreation and aesthetics are usually compatible with other land uses on the same areas; in many cases these areas don’t have to be “set aside” at all. Most of the objections concerning aesthetic degredation of the forests involves timber harvest operations, especially the heavy cuttings which are necessary for even-aged management. There are a number of practices that can lessen the visual impact of logging: (1) A selective cutting or thinning can be implemented, sometimes at the expense of optimum productivity of the stand. (Can we afford this compromise?) (2) Logging can be limited to small blocks, staggered over a large area and separated by uncut areas. (3) Clearcut areas can be shaped to follow contours and more or less blend in with the lay of the land. (4) Buffer strips near houses and roads, etc. can be left uncut to hide the cutover area from view. These practices are frequently applied to government and industrial timberlands. They are rarely applicable to private lands, especially on a small scale. Visual acceptance of a proper timber harvest will occur only with an understanding of the natural processes and silvicultural principles involved. The Shenandoah National Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains contains a vast area which is managed mainly for recreation. Other uses, such as timber harvesting, are prohibited. Even some forms of recreation (such as hunting) are excluded. Fishing and camping are permitted, but even these activities are strictly regulated. So the use of this vast acreage, discounting the Skyline Drive, is limited to a devoted minority. Realizing the cost to the county, is this not an injustice to the taxpayer to benefit a specialinterest minority? Or is the park, which was recently declared a “Wilderness Area,” entirely justifiable on Entries for Horseshoe Tournament Invited All residents of Rappahannock County are reminded of the Horseshoe Tournament to be held Saturday, September 24, at the recreation center, Washington. Be sure to register with either Granville Eastham, phone 675-3268 or Tom Eddins, phone 6753649. Registration and payment of the entry fee of SI.00 must be completed by Saturday, September 17. The following are the rules and regulations that will govern the toumanSnt. SCORING—AH games'shall consist of 21 points. 1. A shoe must be within 6 inches of the stake to score.

(d) A player having one ringer and the closest shoe scores 4 points. Radio Courses Planned Two amateur radio license preparation classes will be offered by the Fauquier Amateur Radio Club in conjunction with the county Parks and Recreation Department. TechnicianGeneral License Preparation will be on Monday nights beginning September 26 and the Novice License Preparation will be on Thursday nights beginning Soybees ? Virginia Economy Improves Entomologists are studying substitutes for primary nectar supplies—clover and wild flowers—and the soybean plant is one of the most promising. In sections of the Midwest and South, beekeepers are producing substantial crops of honey from soybean blooms. Conversion of open land to other uses—logging, highways, industrial expansion, housing—is a serious agricultural problem, to the point that it even could have a serious effect on the nectar source for honeybees, according to the August issue of Agri-News. However, some soybean varieties do not lure the honeybees. In Arkansas, it was reported that soybean crops that produced a good supply of nectar were within one mile of a soybean field that produced no nectar. Cross-pollination by the bees could have a positive effect on soybean yields, say beekeeping experts, as the bees transfer pollen from one variety to another. However, experts admit there is a big “if* when it comes to the possibility of desirable crosses. The Virginia economy got back on track in May and resumed its upward trend, as 10 of the 18 indicators used in evaluating the state’s economic well-being improved, according to Patricia W. Arthur, editor of the Virginia Employment Commission’s “Economic Indicators” magazine. Of the six leading indicators, those that tend to foreshadow change, three improved over April’s levels, two declined, and one was unchanged, Arthur wrote in the June issue. Average weekly initial claims for unemployment compensation fell 16.8 per cent to 5,070. Total accessions to manufacturing payrolls rose modestly to 38 per 1,000 from 37. The new hire rate also noted a slight gain to 30 per 1,000 from 29. Declining were the work week for manufacturing production workers to 40.2 hours, down from 40.3 in April, and nonagricultural job placements by the VEC, which dipped to about 7,000 in May from 7,400. Unchanged was the layoff rate in manufacturing, at six per 1,000. Four of the indicators that coincide roughly with the current economic situation improved in May and two declined. Nonagricultural employment rose to 2,0%, 100, up by 2,200. The unemployment rate dropped to 5.8 per cent, and the state insured unemployment rate also declined, down to 2.0 per cent from 2.1. New business incorporations edged up to 812 from 799. On the downside, job openings received by the VEC dropped to 10,900 from 12,600, and unfilled job openings dipped to 12,700, down 800. Three of the five other significant indicators moved up and two declined. Average weekly earnings rose by $.74 to $185.73. Electric power sales rose 16.3 per cent, and new vehicle registrations rose to 29,300, up from 28,600. Declining were the valuation of building permits, down 2.1 per cent to $71.1 million, and bank debits to demand deposits, down 8.4 per cent. The quit rate in manufacturing, which reflects workers’ assessment of the job market, remained unchanged at 19 per 1,000 workers. September 29. Classes are two hours per night, one night per week. Federal Communications Commission examiners will be at the last meeting of the 12-week General License class on December 12 to administer exams. They will also administer Advanced and Extra exams for those licensed operators who want to upgrade their present licenses. Tuition for the course will be $10. Necessary supplies cost approximately $24. The Novice Amateur Radio License Preparation class will last 10 weeks taking the student from no knowledge of morse code or basic radio theory to what is required to pass the Novice License exam. Tuition for the class is $10 with supplies approximately $20. Registration for the two courses began August 31 at the Parks and Recreation Office on Hotel Street in Warrenton. Deadline for registration is September 14 and early registration is advised since class size is limited. For more information call 347-9550, extension 230. FmHA Liberalizes Loan Criteria “We -were told to make our requirements (for emergency loans) as liberal as possible and to help as many farmers as possible,” stated Alice Yancey from the Farmers Home Administration office in Culpeper. She urged farmers who have suffered losses during the drought to fill out an application, available at FmHA offices on Main Street in Culpeper. She explained that loan eligibility is determined by comparing this year’s crop loss to harvest figures over the previous five years —either the farmer’s or the county average. Loans are made for up to seven years at three per cent interest. Mrs. Yancy emphasized that applicants for FmHA loans don’t actually have to be turned down by a commercial lending institution before they become eligible for assistance. All that is needed, she explained, is a letter from the farmer’s normal credit source. She reported that a number of applications had been given out but only a few had been completed and turned in with none approved to date. Processing takes from two to three weeks, she said, and the time lapse depends in great part on the farmers getting information in to the FmHA officials. “If anybody has suffered losses, they should come to the Farmers Home Administration first—before going to a bank—and see if we can give them assistance,” Mrs. Yancy suggested. (e) Two ringers score 6 points,: fc-l-aty. ■ - (f) A player having two ringers to one for the opponent scores 3 points. (g) All equals count as ties and no points are scored. (h) Should each contestant have a ringer, the next closest shoe, if within 6 inches, will score 1 point. (i) A leaning shoe has no value over one touching the stake. PITCHING 1. In pitching, a player must stand within the box and 18 inches or more away from the stake until the shoe reaches the opposite box. 2. When not pitching, a player must stand behind the man in action and shall not disturb him in any way. 3. A player may not walk to the opposite stake or be informed of the position of the shoes until an inning is completed. 4. A pitched shoe is one that has left the pitcher’s hand. Shoes involved in a foul are credited as shoes pitched but are not to receive any point value. FOULS Any pitched shoes involved in a foul will not receive any point value. The following is a list of fouls: 1. Illegal delivery of a shoe. 2. Failure to stay behind the pitcher. 3. Touching a shoe before measurements have been taken (The penalty for infraction of this rule is disqualification of both of the offender’s shoes.) 4. Bothering an opponent. 5. Shoe which strikes any part of the pitcher’s box. 6. Touching the outer edges of the box (which are called foul lines) or extending the foot over the foul line when pitching. 7. Shoe which first strikes outside the foul lines and then rebpunds within the box. Annual Red Cross The annual meeting of the Fauquier Chapter, American Red Cross, of which Rappahannock is a part, will be held at the St. James Episcopal parish hall in Warrenton on Wednesday, September 14. The meeting begins at 3 p.m. and will include, in addition to regular business, an awards ceremony. The public is invited to attend. Meeting grounds of aesthetics, watershed, science, ecology, and wildlife? And as, a last remnant of Appalachian wildland within which our future generations can enjoy a pure and primitive form of re-creation? In an almost identical context, Aldo Leopold said “Either you know it in your bones, or you are very, very old.” Yes, there is a place for wilderness in our modern world. I think we are fortunate to have a part of it in Rappahannock. But this is a “land use” that does not mix with economic interests. “In God’s wildness,” wrote John Muir, “lies the hope of the world. LETTER TO THE EDITOR Sheriff Performs Efficiently To the editor: Few citizens of Rappahannock County have had the privilege that my family has had to be a neighbor of Sheriff William A. Buntin for thirty years. His kindness and concern for others are shown also by his deputies. Unless you have had an occasion to call on our Sheriffs Department, you will never know the efficient manner in which they perform. un August ju, two eiaeriy friends from Birmingham, Ala. left my home at 9 p.m. for The Helen House on Route 627 just 3 miles from Washington. By 10 p.m. they hadn’t reached their destination so I called the Dispatcher in Culpeper and within five minutes Deputy Martin Orfila responded and expressed much concern for the lost ladies and assured me that he would "immediately start a search for them. Later Deputy Orfila reported that he had no trace of them. He comforted me and my family and said that his department and the State Troopers were doing everything in their power to locate them. Around 2 a.m. Deputy Orfila reported the ladies had been found safely after being lost in the dense fog on our county roads for several hours. We as citizens of Rappahannock County are extremely fortunate to have such a dedicated Sheriffs Department and State Troopers to protect us. RUBY JENKINS Homemakers Clubs Achievement Night Achievement Night which is held annually by the Rappahannock County Extension Homemakers Clubs is scheduled this year for Monday, September 12, at 7:30 p.m. in the Sperryville .fire hall. . Exhibits " prepared by Amissville, Chester Gap, Woodville and Flint Hill Clubs will be displayed and judged. For the past year the Federation Program of Work by the Clubs has been “Health” and each club has held various programs on this topic throughout the year. Guest speakers for the Achievement Night Program will be Dr. Werner Krebser speaking on “Maintaining One’s Health” and Frances Thornton, Rappahannock County Public Health Nurse speaking on the “Services of The Mental Health Clinic”. “Recipes from Old Virginia,” a cookbook containing over 700 recipes will be on sale with Mrs. Vi Cooley, Cookbook Chairman, in charge. Recipes for the book were contributed by club members and many of them have been handed down for generations. Royalties derived from the cookbook sales are used to finance the Maude Wallace Scholarship Fund. One or more scholarships are awarded from these funds to help young women who are majoring in Home Economics at V.P.I. & SU. The books are $4.00 each. Club of the Year award and reading certificates will be presented by Mrs. Corinne Del Grosso, County Chairman. The Club with the most outstanding record will be recognized as Club of The Year and those members in the county who have read at least five books will receive certificates. The Silent Auction is always an interesting part of the Achievement Night Program, and is filled with a great variety of items on which to bid. This is the main means of making money for the Extension Homemakers Clubs. The money is used for the various 4-H and county projects they support. The public is invited to attend the Achievement Night Program. It is not limited to members or women.

THIS BIG ONE didn’t get away. Vincent “Pops” Aylor of Washington, fishing with his grandfather Saturday in the North Fork of the Shenandoah River caught this 7Vfc pound catfish which measured 27 inches in length. He certainly was proud of his catch. Change In Highway Markings A simple change in the length of centerline markings on highways is. expected to save the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation up to $90,000 a year, with no reduction in motorist safety. The modification involves reducing the length of the centerline stripe from 15 feet to 10 feet on rural roads. J. P. Mills Jr., the department’s traffic and safety engineer, said the space between stripes will be 30 feet in the future instead of 25. The department adopted the pattern when tests showed no major differences between the two spacings in regard to safety, but indicated substantial savings. The old pattern has been used for years in keeping with Federal Highway Administration recommendations. The change was made after a study of the 1030 pattern on three rural road sections by the Virginia Highway and Transportation Research Council. The FHWA recently has endorsed the change for all states. Experiments aimed at devising pavement markings more economical than the long-used 15-25 pattern were begun in several states after the petroleum shortage of 1973. At the same time that fuel-tax revenues were declining because of the scarcity of gasoline, the cost of paint for pavement marking almost doubled. Several states cut back on striping, and some ex perimented with different pattern variations. Virginia, however, was the first state to conduct a formal evaluation of the effects prior to statewide implementation of a marking change. A sampling of more than 1,100 motorists' opinions after travel over recently resurfaced rural highways showed that % per cent of them hadn’t noticed the change in pattern. Of those who had, 66 per cent preferred the 10-30 proportion, 10 per cent the 15-25, and 24 per cent expressed no preference. <Mt JotuL [LITTLE GIANT No. 602 £ ’ Quality Built Stoves Since 1853 All cast iron.

9 Federal Spending Goal Means Higher Taxes Congressman I. Kenneth Robinson has termed “deceptive and fiscally irresponsible” a resolution to fix federal spending limits which is up for debate in the House this week. “At first glance, it may appear to be somewhat better than the ‘target’ budget resolution, adopted earlier this year, because it provides for a deficit of ‘only’ $52.6 billion for the new fiscal year, which is a reduction of approximately $6 billion from the previous estimate,” Robinson said in remarks prepared for a meeting of the Rock Hill Ruritan Club (Mt. Ararat Baptist Church). “The big catch is that it increases spending by $6.4 billion, and anticipates tax increases sufficient not only to take care of more spending but also to make a cut in the expected deficit,” he stated, adding that even the lower deficit projection would be $10 billion higher than that of the current fiscal year—“an increase of 22 per cent, traceable largely to socalled ‘economic stimulation’ programs.” “A far better method of economic stimulation, in my opinion, would be to enact permanent, across-the-board tax cuts, and, at the same time, make corresponding cuts in overall spending sufficient to begin a net reduction in the deficit, and to move us back to a balanced budget in sound, rather than further inflated, dollars,” the 7th District Representative suggested. Robinson, only Virginia member of the House Appropriations Committee, noted that the budget “presumes eventual enactment—in this Congress, of the heavy taxes proposed in President Carter’s energy program, as well as significant increases in Social Security taxes”, and predicted: “If this resolution becomes law, and if all the assumptions on which it is based pan out, we can expect a substantially higher federal tax bill, with millions of citizens moving into higher tax brackets, even though a new surge of inflation wipes out any spending power benefit from increased gross income.” Howell Fund Raiser Draws State-Wide Support Vice President and Mrs. Walter Mondale attracted over 250 guests to the home of State Senator and Mrs. Give Du Val of McLean on Monday evening, Aug. 29. This principal fund-raiser, where each attendant paid $125, found Andrew Miller, John Schell and Ira Leschner, defeated Democratic Primary Candidates, cheering on the winners on the “Rainbow Ticket”-Henry Howell, Charles (Chuck) Robb and Ed Lane. Guests were served dinner and drinks from buffets decorated with stuffed pheasants. They were seated at tables for twelve under a green and white striped tent where a band played from time to time. Representative Herbert Harris of the 8th District served as master of ceremonies in his usual humorous style. After hearing an amusing and rousing speech by Candidate Henry Howell, the audience responded enthusiastically to an address by Vice President Mondale. Opening his remarks, he observed, “The Republicans have a pot of gold, but we have the Rainbow Ticket.” Some of his other statements were these: “Henry Howell has often done more for the State of Virginia out of office than have its elected officials in office*?..When Henry is Governor, he can walk into the Vice-President and the President’s offices without an appointment any day to discuss the problems of the 7%r ’Os/, AAA fy.uws A: A Ac /// 7 i 30* Q^tfc/iCl Metis* A Talent $iow b Benefit tSorsum CordaSchool S' S' S' S' S~ ’S' MUSIC * -SINGING * ‘DANCE PERFORMANCES f BREATHTAKING LOCAL TALENT $ A GOOD T/NE* BAKED G00P55 POPCORN * HOUSE.PLANTS* PHOTOS* CLD T/N1EY MUSIC WITH THE \eai<c t efflux ■&7?S.?wfte' AAA C A %*' yir C^dwuldUrc$ $£,00 A oTyj’KrL (s2$&y6n4s'Z $T.

Many political notables in the state and from Washington were present and a number of them, including Andrew Miller, made remarks later in the evening. Several people from Rappahannock County attended. Social Sunday dinner guests of Mrs. Hattie Walters who was celebrating her 67th birthday included Mr. and Mrs. Paul Sheets and family of Middletown, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Walters and family of Winchester, Clarence Walters, Daisy Williams and family.

SALE Sept 13,1 p.m. DELEGATE CANDIDATE BUTCH DAVIES launched six canoes for supporters and press representatives who took part in a trip down the Rapidan River last week, organized by Davies to highlight the river’s recreational potential. It was push, shove and tow more than row, row, row your boat as the Rapidan was lower than it’s been in years. Still, the jaunt was an unqualified success and candidate Davies more than made his point—the Rapidan can be used for recreation without violating the property rights of riverside landowners. It was interesting to note that more wildlife than litter was spotted during the five hour trek. Only two beer cans, one coke bottle and one milk container floated along the river with the canoes. Hand Or Herbicide? Saving energy through use of herbicides instead oi mechanical cultivation or hand labor has been proven many times according to the August edition of Agri-News but the statistics involved often are interesting. Dr. John Nalewaja, weed scientist at North Dakota State University compared energy inputs and outputs of various weed control systems and found that it took 56,000 kilocalories per acre to control weeds in corn using mechanical cultivation alone. With atrazine, a widely used herbicide, 38,000 kilocalories were required per acre and this included energy used in production of the chemical. Hand labor required 33,000 kilocalories per acre. Applying this information, Iowa State University scientists have concluded that hand labor, while the most energy efficient, is not practical. They figure that two hand weedings at 60 hours an acre would be needed for Iowa’s 20 million acres of corn and soybeans.

COUNTR Y JOURNAL By NANCY SECRIST Extension Agent It is not hard for those who lure here in Rappahannock to it is apple time again. With all the roadside stands and orchards selling apples, we’d be foolish not to take advantage of and support one of Rappahannock’s main industries. Although yield percentage is down, the quality of the apples is excellent, according to Rap Owings, Extension Agent. An apple is “bulk-producing” so it satisfies your hunger while its natural sugars are easily digested and give “instant energy.” Apples will not only help tone up digestion, but also help keep your cholesterol count down. Because of their beneficial aid to dental health, apples are often referred to as “nature’s toothbrush.” Modest amounts of a number of important nutrients are found in apples. For the dietconscious, a medium-size apple contains only 70 calories. For these reasons and their universal flavor appeal, versatility, convenience and year round r i 111ndividually owned shops under one roof Downtown Front Royal availability, nutritionists and dieticians rate them highly. They make a perfect afternoon snack for children (as well as adults). Buy apples for their intended use: Pies and sauce: Grimes Golden, York, Winesap, Stayman, Jonathon, Rome Beauty. For baking use: Rome Beauty, Stayman, Winesap and York; for frying use Winesap. Varieties for eating include Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Grimes Golden, Jonathon, McIntosh, Stayman and Winesap. Storing—Only perfect apples should be stored for later use. Use apples with bruises, skin breaks or decayed spots as soon as possible. Keep apples refrigerated. Do not place apples close to strong odors as the flavor will transfer. To prevent absorbing other food flavors and to maintain proper humidity, store apples in plastic bags in the hydrator drawer of the refrigerator. Bags should have small holes in them to allow for proper air circulation. Following are two different ways to use apples as suggested by the U.S. Dept, of Agriculture.

A good practice is to use the colors in the painting to design and build a scheme for your room. You may prefer an original oil or water color to a good reproduction. It is simply a matter of personal taste. Whatever you choose, shop for the best picture at the price you can afford and hang it where you can see and enjoy it every day. And whatever your choice in home decor, you’ll find the best when you shop at EARLY’S CARPETS, Route 211, Amissville, 347-0400 & 502 N. Main St., Culepeper, 825-8232. Our wide inventory includes an extensive selection of vinyl flooring by Armstrong, GAF and Congoleum, and all our installations are done by our own expertly trained crew.

Library Lines The Library has received gifts of three fine books by Rappahannock County authors. Mrs. Ollie Atkins gave us her late husband’s Triumph and Tragedy, the White House Years. Mr. Atkins was Nixon’s official White House photographer from 1969 to 1974, and photographed the former president virtually every day—on the campaign trail, in China and Moscow, and in intimate shots at home with his family. Some of these pictures are worldfamous, some are published for the first time. A candid, personal text accompanies the photographs. James J. Kilpatrick’s The Foxes’ Union, subtitled And Other Stretchers, Tall Tales and Discursive Reminiscences of Happy Years in Scrabble, Virginia, is delightful reading for all who love Rappahannock County as he does. The book is not an anthology of Scrabble-datelined columns, although some of the material will be familiar to faithful readers, but tells in detail of finding White Walnut Hill (formerly the June Corbin place) and the Kilpatricks’ life there; of many well-known Rappahannockers; of flora and fauna of our county, including the foxes mentioned in the title; and the birthday letters to granddaughter Heather. Charles L. Perdue, Jr. compiled and edited Weevils in the Wheat, Interviews with Virginia Ex-Slaves, published by the University of Virginia. The book contains 159 interviews with ex-slaves made by the Virginia Writers’ Project between 1936 and 1941, published for the first time. Most of these were conducted by Blacks, thus nroviriing information on the slaves’ own views of slavery not generally available. Annie Perry Wallace, interviewed in Culpeper in 1940, had lived in Woodville with her husband Charles where their thirteen children were born and raised. In addition to the gift books the Library has acquired in the past month the timely Path Between the Seas, the Creation of the Panama Canal 1870-1914 by David McCullough; Modern and Classic Woodburning Stoves by Bob and Carol Ross; An Apple a Day, “a windfall of recipes” compiled by Joyce Hays; The Art of Blacksmithing, a revised edition of Alex Bealer’s classic; All-season Hunting by Bob Gilsvik; A Rumor of War, a personal memoir of lUiiitHUiiHnuiiiuiiiiiiiRiiniiimiHiini^ FLINT HILL GARAGE All Star Used Cars l Buy— Sell— Trade!

■a “f. In Defense of Women Ministers What The Bible Teaches About the Ministry Of Women 1. In the beginning God made Eve from a part of Adam's body, she was given to Adam for a help meet (Ezer, to aid or help him). Genesis 1 • 26, 27; Genesis 2; 18, 21-24. 2. Because of the sin of Adam and Eve, God placed a curse on all creation (Genesis 3: 1-24) in connection with this read Galatians 3:13, 14, 26-29). Christ took the curse upon Himself, we ar redeemed by His blood when we accept the salvation He purchased for us on Calvary. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male or female; for ye are all one in Christ " (Galatians 3:28). 3. The first prophetess on record in the Bible was Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron. (Exodus is; 20, 21). In Micah 6:4 God said "l sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam." 4. The word "Prophetess in Hebrew is "Nebiyah", the Greek word is "Prophetis" meaning an inspired woman. 5. The word "Prophet" or "Prophetess" can be either a forth teller or a foreteller. 6. In Judges 4:4-10 we read that Deborah was a prophetess. 7. When the neglected Book of the Law was found in the Temple, and read before Josiah the king, he sent to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum for an explanation of what the Book contained. Huldah gave the message to the men who came, saying "Thus saith the Lord God of Israel" (2 Kings 22:1-20). 8. In Isaiah 8:3,4. we read Isaiah's wife was a prophetess. 9. In Joel 2:28, 29, we read "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, yo«,r young men shall see visions; And, also, upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit." This was fulfilled on the Day of Pentecost, the birthday of the church. (Acts 2:). 10. The apostles, and others, including Mary, the mother of Jesus and other women "The number of names together were about a hundred and twenty." were in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost (Acts 1:1-15). 11. The first prophetess on record in the New Testament was Anna (Luke 2:36-38). 12. A woman of Samaria took the good news of Christ the Messiah to her own people, she was an "Euaggelizo" (Evangelist) "And many of the Samaritians of that city believed on Him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did." (John4:4-39). 13. Women were the last at the cross (Matthew 27:55,56.) (Mark 15:40,41). (John 19:25). 14. Women were the last at the tomb (Matthew 27:57-61). 15. Women were the first at the empty tomb (Mark 16:111). 16. Women were the first to carry the message of the resurrection the first Easter morning—"And the angel answered and said unto the women. Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead; and, behold, He goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see Him; lo, I have told you" (Matthew 28:1-10). 17. A woman Bible teacher is mentioned in Acts 18:24-26 note the word "they" (ekenios, plural). 18. Philip the evangelist had four daughters "who did prophesy" (Acts 21:9). (Propheteuo, to speak under inspiration, to exercise the prophetic office). 19. Women were highly esteemed by Paul the apostle (Romans 16:1-6). The word "servant" in verse 1 is "Diako" meaning teacher or pastor. 20. Women prayed and preached in the Corinthian church (th<- word "prophesy" has the meaning of either to foretell or to forth tell). 1 Corinthians 11:1-16). 21. Women were laborers In the gospel with Paul (Philippians 4:1-3). the word "labor" (Sunagonizomai) means to work in company with. 22. In l Corinthians 14:31 Paul said "Fore ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted." The word "all'* Is "pas" meaning every one. Paul was addressing the church at Corinth which was made up of men and women. 23. In l Corinthians 14:34 the word "silence" (Sigao or Phimoo) meaning to hold one's peace is commanded to the men as well as the women (1 Corinthians 14:28-34). Paul is not forbidding ministry, he is forbidding disorder, commotion, confusion, tumult, the word is "akatastasia." The believers were assembled, exercising the various gifts, but not in Divine order, (not properly). The women were calling to their husbands, asking questions, therefore, Paul said "And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home." (verse 35) "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." "Let all things be done decently and in order." (Corinthians 14:33,40). 24. In the discourse in 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 Paul does not forbid praying or prophesying in the church, he gave regulations how it should be done, note verse 5. 25. 1 Timothy 2:11, 12 The word "man" here is "Aner"husband, the woman's subjection is to her own husband, it does not mean that other men can lord It over her. The words "teach" and "usurp" and "didasko" and "authenteo" meaning to form or act on their own authority, or exercise dominion over,this is forbidden. No servant of God would do this. "Yea, all of you be subject one to another." (i Peter 5:5). 26. One word for "teach" meaning to train, guide, enlighten is "Didaskalos", this is used by Christ of Himself in Matthew 23:8, the same word is in John 3:2, also in Acts 13:1 and in Ephesians 4:11,1 Corinthians 12:28. "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things" (Romans 10:15). Notes from a Bible study given by—Ethel E. Harrington. Submitted by Ray R. Campbell, Sr. Pastor Sperryville Assembly of God Church Horse Show Summerduck Run Farm, Culpeper, is having its Fourth Annual Fall Horse Show on Sunday, September 11, at 9 a.m. The 24 hunter classes will be judged by Mrs. William E.

Notice is hereby given that on June 15, 1977, Central Telephone Company of Virginia filed with the State Corporation Commission of Virginia an application requesting a $4,666,945 permanent increase in its rates and charges for telephone service. The Commission has suspended the effective date of the proposed rate changes and has scheduled a public hearing on the application in its Courtroom in the Blanton Building, Richmond, Virginia, commencing at 10:00 A.M. on October 19,1977. Also, on June 15, 1977, an application for an increase in rates was filed by Southern Telephone Company, a whollyowned subsidiary of Central, asking for approval of an increase in rates to give it additional annual revenues of $262,681. Southern Telephone's proposed increase in rates will be considered in this case. Separate notice will be given to Southern's customers. Earlier, Central was authorized to place into effect a temporary surcharge of 9.60 percent on all rates for intrastate telephone service except toll service, WATS service, private line service, and coin telephone service. Central Telephone now proposes to withdraw the 9.60 percent surcharge, which was designed to produce additional revenues of $2,359,806, and to then place into effect its permanent rates to produce additional revenues of $4,666,945. Central's application and proposed schedule of rates and charges may be reviewed in the Clerk's Office of the Commission or at any office of the Company where bills may be paid. On or before August 22,1977, the Company will file with the Clerk of the Commission ten (10) copies of the prepared testimony and exhibits of each witness it intends to present in direct testimony in support of Company's application. Copies of all such testimony and exhibits will be available for review on and after August 22, 1977, in the Clerk's Office of the Commission or at any office of the Company where bills may be paid. On or before September 22, 1977, all persons who expect to submit evidence at the public hearing as a party Protestant, and to cross-examine Company witnesses, must file and serve a Notice of Protest in conformity with the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. On or before October 10, 1977, the Commission's Staff and all persons who have filed a Notice of Protest and who still expect to participate at the hearing as a party Protestant must file ten (10) Hunting Land Small responsible group of hunters want mountain land to lease for deer season.

Any interested person (public witness) who desires to make a statement at the hearing in his own behalf, either for or against the application for increased rates, but not otherwise participate in the hearing, need only appear in the Commission's Courtroom at 9:45 A.M. on October 19,1977, and complete a Notice of Appearance form which will be provided by the Commission. All such persons will be heard as expeditiously as possible, beginning at 10:00 A.AA., or shortly thereafter, on that date. In order that the Commission may hear from the maximum number of persons desiring to make a statement, all public witnesses are requested to limit their oral comments to seven minutes. Interested persons who intend to appear and testify as public witnesses are requested to notify th* Commission in advance by mail so that their comments may be received without undue delay.
