School Board Approves Tuition For Handicapped By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock School Board approved Sept. 13 tuition payments of approximately $500 apiece for two learning disabled children who will attend Culpeper County schools. "It’s important for the community at large to understand (tuition payments) because of the requirements put on localities to educate children" who are either physically or mentally handicapped, said Board Chairman Beverly Massie. State law requires that all handicapped children be provided an “adequate" education. Rappahannock’s administrators and School Board members have repeatedly expressed concern over the financial impact that this mandate could have on the county’s system since the state has not set limits or defined the term “adequate.” Assistant Superintendent Ray Hogan asked the Board for authorization of $600 tuition payment to Culpeper for an elementary LD student. “If Culpeper cannot accept this child, it will leave us with another problem to solve,” he said. “Either an adequate education will have to be supplied here in Rappahannock,’’ Hogan continued, “or else tuition arrangements will have to be made with another adjoining county.” The School Board voted unanimously to allow Hogan to place the child in a Learning Disability program. Hogan also asked for authorization of $1250 tuition to place a Rappahannock pre-schooler in Culpeper’s pre-school special education program. He told the Board that Piedmont’s early childhood education specialist had recommended the move and noted that 60 per cent of tuition costs were reimbursable from the state. The law requiring localities to provide an adequate education for handicapped persons covers ages two to 21, he added, and in this case, would cost the county S50Q. “Disgusting,” commented Board member Arthlinda Quaintance. Board member Paul Nichols also questioned the state mandate that requires a program be provided for children as young as two years of age. Benefits Cited Hogan maintained that studies have documented the benefits of early childhood education for dislexic and other handicapped children. The early education program is a type of “preventive medicine,” he explained, aimed at preparing the handicapped child for entrance into the mainstream educational program. He declined to predict whether the pre-schooler in question would be able to attend regular classes as a result of this early attention. Mrs. Massie told the Board that there may be a graduate income scale used to determine parental School Heads Deny Sherertz Charge Teachers Intimidated Wallace K. Sherertz, director of the Mountain View United Service Unit of the Virginia Education Association (VEA), last Thursday charged that area teachers are afraid to express grievances for fear of losing their jobs. “I have never seen a more intimidated group of teachers, since I’ve been in the business, than those who teach in the seven surrounding counties,” said Sherertz, speaking to the Warrenton Rotary Club. The seven counties which make up the Mountain View unit are Fauquier, Culpeper, Rappahannock, Warren, |r' Frederick, Clarke and Loudoun. Rappahannock County Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Bloomer said Friday that he had no indication that teachers there feel intimidated. “If a principal of a school, for example, is going to make a policy change, then he should and probably would seek advice from those teachers that would be affected,” said Bloomer. "The principal does not have to follow the advice, but he should take it into consideration.” Teachers with specific grievances should follow “the chain of command,” taking complaints to their department head first, Bloomer WALLACE K. SHERERTZ Mid. If the teacher gets no satisfactory response at that level, then the grievance could be carried to the principal, to the superintendent of schools, then to the school board. Sherertz, who succeeded Larry Crawford last December, explained that a primary function of the VEA is help teachers gain “effective involvement in educational decision making. “But very often they (public school teachers) are denied that opportunity,” charged Sherertz. “It is in this area that I have encountered the greatest problem. “I cannot tell you (members of the Rotary Club) the number of teachers ivho have told me of problems that exist within their schools and districts, hoping that I could find some solution without involving them.” The area VEA director told the audience that generally teachers are afraid or reluctant to file grievances through normal administrative channels. “You complain about anything in this school system and they’ll nail you.” Sherertz claimed that is the feeling of many teachers who are reluctant to express grievances. Most school administrators (Continued on Page 4) responsibility for part of the tuition payment. Localities are liable for 40 per cent of tuition payments with state and federal sources picking up the remaining 60 per cent only if the LD child’s family had an income below $5,000, according to Mrs. Massie. “I think we should find out if the parents are financially able to pay part of the costs,” she suggested to Superintendent William Bloomer. Grade Placement Controversy Herbert B. Smoot appeared before the School Board to protest the assignment of his son William to second grade. Smoot’s case was intended for executive session but was moved to open session upon his request. Assistant Superintendent Hogan reported that William Smoot had been promoted last year from junior primary two, a readiness program, to regular second grade. The child’s father, said Hogan, was under the impression that his son had been promoted to third grade. “I wasn’t under any impression,” Smoot interrupted. “I’m going with the facts on the report card.” He maintained that William’s report card had shown the boy promoted from second to third grade. Report Card Lost Hogan told the Board that Smoot didn’t have a copy of the report card and added that school records indicated the child was promoted from junior primary to regular second grade. “A Placement Committee meeting is in order,” suggested Hogan, at which administrators, teachers and the public health nurse will review all of William’s records and consider his grade assignment. A committee meeting had been scheduled for last week in time for the School Board meeting, according to Hogan but circumstances required postponement. Smoot maintained that more than enough time for a meeting had elapsed since he first contacted Dr. Bloomer about William’s placement or the second day of school. He told the Board that his child hated to go to school as a result of the assignment problem. Smoot described his son’s (Continued on Page 4) Beard, Davies Square Off As Gentlemen By daphne McCullough Rappahannock News Staff Writer Impassioned rhetoric, charges and counter charges may be the keynote of the Virginia gubernatorial contest but as November 5 draws closer, the discourse between 25th District Delegate candidates George Beard and John J. “Butch” Davies remains polite. Davies and Beard took part in a panel discussion Monday at the Culpeper County-wide Civic Council meeting at Antioch Baptist Church. Both men emphasized the positive points of their own candidacies rather than attacking his opponent’s position. The candidates apparently disagreed—in part—on only a few issues but even the disagreement was gentlemanly. At the onset of the program, moderator Shakespeare Bland noted that the candidates weren’t at the meeting to receive endorsement, but to state their views on campaign issues so that individuals could make up their own minds. Beard, speaking first, said he was primarily concerned with energy, education and employment. The energy situation is “going to get a whole lot ; worse before it gets any better,” he maintained. “ThA thing that bothers me is that Virginia waS the only one of our neighboring states that had a shortage last winter.” He promised to find out why the state’s fuel resources ran short and whether the fuel adjustment clause allowed utility companies was “really necessary.” Education b Better “Education has taken a turn for the better,” Beard said, with a “back to basics” approach. Localities may still have to swallow mandated programs from the General Assembly, he continued, but as evidence of improvement in this area, he cited a bill introduced by Delegate French Slaughter that requires proposals for programs costing over $1000 to be forwarded to local Boards of Supervisors in December. The local Boards then determine ability to fund the new programs and send recommendations back to the General Assembly prior to action by the Delegates in January. As a member of the Industrial Committee for 20 years and the Biracial Committee for 18 months, Beard said the First question asked by companies interested in moving to Culpeper was whether there were any race problems in the town. “I’ve told them no. Not in Culpeper.” This situation, he maintained, has influenced businesses to locate there. Industry Benefits Community “We’re still trying to get qualified industry in Culpeper,” he continued. Increased employment will mean better education and less crime, according to Beard. He added that Culpeper’s Industrial Development Authority, of which he is chairman, “stands ready to assist financially...to get industry in here.” Turn To Other Issues Instead of saying he was for education, for more employment /nd better opportunities, Davies said he’d decided to address other matters in his opening remarks because he thought it was important for the voters to have a feeling for the candidate’s prospective on other issues. Recalling his elementary education in Culpeper schools, Davies noted that the day always began with the Pledge of Allegiance to (Continued on Page 3) 60i*er Cent Apple Crop Expected Despite dry and drought conditions over much of the state, Virginia’s apple harvest this fall will be about 60 per cent of a normal crop year, a Virginia Tech Extension horticulturist said. Prof. George R. Williams, the specialist, said this year’s harvest will be about 5.9 million bushels. About 10 million bushels is the average, Williams said. Virginia will probably rank fifth after Washington state, New York, Michigan and either California or Pennsylvania, the Tech specialist said. Rappahannock Extension Agent Rap Owings predicted that the county’s apple harvest would fall slightly behind state estimates. “I think it will be a little lighter in Rappahannock—about 50 per cent” of the normal crop, said Owings. Fast becoming traditions in Virginia are the pick-yourown or select-your-own orchards that sell directly to consumers. And again this year, the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce (VDAC) has compiled listings of these orchards. These VDAC brochures are available in many local Virginia Tech Extension offices. If not, consumers may request them directly from the VDAC at P. O. Box 1163, Richmond 23209. In Rappahannock Capt. George Sharp on Harris Hollow Road outside of Washington and Tom Lee on Fodderstack Road between Washington and Flint Hill run pick-your-own operations. "There may be others that I don’t know of,” added Owings. 4-H Center Fund Campaign Receives Enthusiastic Send-Off The enthusiasm of The Young Dominions inspired those attending the fund campaign kick-off dinner last Thursday for the Northern Virginia 4-H Educational Center planned for construction in Harmony Hollow near Front Royal. The dinner, held at the fire hall in Front Royal, was attended by about 200 key people in promotional positions. The Young Dominions are a 4-H singing group from Fauquier County, directed by Mrs. Bernice Pearson. The proposed 4-H Center, expected to cost 6 million dollars, will be constructed on a 229-acre site which was formerly a part of the U. S. Department of Agricutlure and Virginia Tech Beef Cattle Research Station. Seventh District Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson was instrumental in acquiring the acreage, along with efforts of Governor Mills Godwin and Senator Harry F. Byrd. A federal grant of $532,000 has been awarded Virginia Tech to help finance construction of the Education Center and will be administered through the University. Another $500,000 has already been received from various contributions and sources. Dinner Speakers Thursday included Samuel Jones of Winchester, president of the 4-H Center; Dr. William Van Dresser, dean of Virginia Tech Extension Division; Dr. Kenneth Dawson, director of the Tech Extension Division; Thomas Byrd of Winchester, finance campaign cochairperson; and Charles W. Rector of Nokesville, chairperson for the building committee. Also on the program were two 4-H’ers, Becky Gnegy of Shenandoah and Tim Roberts of Culpeper who told of what camping experiences had meant to them. To complete the planned project, every source of income will have to be tapped, individuals, businesses, corporations, foundations, civic and 4-H organizations. Counties served by the Northern Virginia Center include Rappahannock, Orange, Madison, Culpeper, Fauquier, Prince William, Fairfax, Frederick, Clarke, King George, Page, Arlington, Caroline, Loudoun, Shenandoah, Spotsylvania, Stafford and Warren. The center will consist of a multi-purpose utility building, dining room and kitchen facilities, offices, cottages, camping area, water —Rappahannock Nam Pints AMONG THOSE PRESENT FOR the 4-H Educational Center kick-off campaign dinner held Thursday at the fire hall in Front Royal were members of the finance committee.

By SARAH LATHAM ABC Profits Shared Rappahannock County will receive $19,737.73 as its share of $27.7 million in Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) profits for the fiscal year that ended June 30. Virginia localities were allocated a total of $18.3 million and the remaining $9.4 million was deposited into the general fund. Although ABC profits were up this year by approximately $32,000, $2.6 million went to the State Board of Health and the State Hospital Board for the treatment of alcoholics, an increase of $537,400. This reduced the profits available for distribution to localities by $373,093. This amount was taken from the profits designated for the general fund and applied toward the localities’ share. Using the 1970 census figures, the localities received S3.93 per person, the same as in 1976. Only four counties received a smaller share of ABC profits than Rappahannock. Six towns in the Commonwealth were allocated less than Washington’s $744.60 share of ABC profits. A

Railroads j Reduce : Hay Rates \ Virginia’s drought-stricken dairy and livestock farmers | may realize an estimated savings of from S10 to $30 per ton of hay depending on its origin. State agriculture commissioner S. Mason Carbaugh noted his appreciation after the Southern Railway, i N&W and Chessie railroads reduced their hay tarrifts to drought-affected areas of Virginia by SO per cent of the current rate. The railroads during the drought of 1963 took similar hay rail rate reduction action. On a load of 20 tons, the reduced rate to Staunton from Buffalo will be $14.35, Pittsburgh $11.44 and Lansing, Mich. $16.01. Governor Godwin is requesting similar reductions which if approved would make the rate from Perrysburg, Ohio, $14.77, Grand Island, Neb., $26.50 and Lamed, Kans., $27. Reduced freight rates have been established on 13, 17 and 20-ton shipments. Since the 20-ton shipment is the most economical, Commissioner Carbaugh advised farmers and dealers to specify that 50-foot box cars be used if available. Farmers who can’t handle a full carlot of hay at a time may have local dealers pool their orders.

Beard, Davies Square Off As Gentlemen (Continued from Page 1) {i the flag. In reciting it, he repeated “with liberty and justice for all.” “That was in the 1950’s,” said Davies. “There were no blacks in my class...Times have changed...attitudes, the whole social fabric has changed.” Lane Defended “We ought to be honest with each other,” he told the predominatly black audience. “Too many times politicians say what they think people want to hear.” Davies then criticized the attitude displayed at last week’s Black Caucus meeting in “condemning” attorney general candidate Ed Lane for his past support of massive resistance to integration. Citing the parable of the lost sheep, Davies maintained that a man shouldn’t be condemned for his past. “I intend to lay it on the line when I think there is a tone of intolerance in the community,” Davies said. He stated that the “hostile comments from young blacks” directed at Lane had made him feel "uncomfortable.” “Treat us as candidates,” he asked the audience, “like we treat you ’ as individuals...not as a symbol of, quote, the monolithic black community.” Following Davies’ opening remarks, the candidates answered questions from the audience. Responding to an inquiry as to their position on free text books for public school children, both agreed that this policy would place a severe financial burden on localities and so should be decided by local government. Quotas Opposed Rob Freis asked where the candidates stood on the issue of racial quotas for admission to Virginia institutions of higher education. Beard answered that he would have to study the matter further and added that this was a state rather than a local question. “The quality of education is important...not a quota system...I would oppose it,” said Davies. In regard to the state bond issue that will appear on the ballot in November, Davies said he had concern on two parts. He stated that he would vote against the section on park improvements because he felt that bathroom facilities and shower houses should not be funded through a bond but should come out of the regular budget. On the $86.5 million education section, Davies said he had reservations “but my inclination is to vote for it.” He said he felt that more attention should be given to vocational and technical programs and expressed concern over the $20 million earmarked for Northern Virginia and Tidewater Community colleges in view of dropping enrollments. “An awful lot of politics and pork barreling” went into that proposal, he maintained, in an attempt to get Northern Virginia legislators to support the bond. Beard said he was opposed to the park improvements section of the bond issue primarily because it includes “no provisions for parks in this area.” He said he would vote for the school section because Germanna Community College had been such a help in the community to both black and white alike. “Education solves a lot of problems in this area,” he maintained. According to Beard, Germanna is beginning to have an influx of students from Northern Virginia because the community college there is too crowded. ‘‘The education bond would relieve this and give us more room for our people,” he said. Affirmative Action A member of the audience told the candidates that by opposing the quota system, they were also opposing “affirmative action—the only recourse black people have for equal opportunities in hiring.” He maintained that the Culpeper County school system was refusing to hire blacks in proportion to white teachers hired. “I know you don’t have power over the school system but would you use your influence (to change ailedged discriminatory hiring practices)?” he asked. Beard answered that the quota system for colleges and School Board hiring practices were two different things. Noting that he had served on the Culpepeir Board, Beard said he didn’t “recall a single instance where a white was hired instead of a black.” He added that the School board had worked hard to find qualified blacks for teaching positions. “I know what you’re trying to say,” he continued. “You want to push a little harder.” Beard said he thought attrition through retirement of older teachers would help, that the Board would make extra effort to fill the vacancies with blacks. “The School Board is trying to do what you said the best way they know how,” he concluded. Differences Noted “I see a difference between affirmative action and the quota system,” said Davies, explaining that affirmative action meant recruitment of black teachers and offering equal opportunities for employment. “There ought to be affirmative action to make sure opportunities exist for everyone,” he stated. Recruiting Teachers In recruiting new teachers, the School authorities ought to pay special attention to young people who grew up in Culpeper and want to come back to the town to live and work, Davies continued. “This hasn’t been done in several instances that I know of,” he said. Instead, hometown teaching applicants have been placed on substitute lists and outsiders given full-time employment. Both candidates assured the audience that they would have blacks on their staffs in administrative positions. Beard noted that his bank was the first in Culpeper to hire blacks and currently employed more than any other bank in the 25th District. To increase employment opportunities for both blacks and whites, Beard stated that he would work to bring in industry for those counties in his district that want it. “It doesn’t take industry to have employment,” Davies said. “Industry is only one area that provides job.” Great potential for increased employment also lies in service and tourist related businesses, according to Davies. Both candidates agreed on the need to change the funding formula used to allocate secondary road funds. Besides a reallocation of road funds based on “a true need factor,” Davies suggested that localities should receive more in state gas tax revenues to improve secondary road maintenance. Beard added that permit titling taxes that are now put into an unused special fund for towing junked cars could be transferred to the road system category. Freis asked Beard where he would draw the line on attracting industry in order to preserve the environment—to keep air and water clean and protect the community from over development. Technical, Not Growth, Industries Beard maintained that industry comes into an area only if it has an available labor market with the people already there and provisions for adequate school expansion. Besides, he added, Culpeper is now looking for “technical type industry, not growth type.” Beard explained that he would not propose forcing industrial development on an area. ‘‘If Madison and Rappahannock want industry. I’ll help them to get it. If they don’t, no way.” Describing expansion of the Rappahannock ski area as “development of a resource that already exists,” Davies noted that environment is a major concern in Rappahannock and Madison. “But they want jobs,” he added. “I intend to help them find jobs that will blend in with their community.” Aid To The Aged A woman in the audience asked the candidates for their views on aid to the aged. “They’re not being treated fairly, especially in Culpeper,” she maintained. As an example, she said that applicants for $84,000 in federal funds intended to defray high fuel costs from last winter were being turned down as not qualified. Concern for the elderly is “long overdue,” Davies responded. He questioned the mandatory retirement of senior citizens who still have the ability to be productive. As to the fuel bill assistance program, Davies said he understood that most of the funds were unused and ascribed this to inflexible government standards and red tape. He added that the program worked well in some areas. While the fuel cost assistance program is “news to me,” said Beard, he added that similar ineffectiveness applied to drought assistance programs for farmers in this area. He noted that farmers in parts of the Valley are getting money from drought relief while in the Culpeper area, the/re being turned down. “If I’m elected, I would try to find out why,” Beard promised. Another member of the audience called attention to the lack of blacks in administrative positions in both Culpeper town and county government He added that no blacks were employed by the Steer House either. He reported that the manager of that business said there were a couple of black employees but they worked ‘‘in the back.” Beard responded that he didn’t know what he could do about this situation as a Delegate and suggested that the Biracial Committee be reformed to deal with the problem at a local level. “I think it’s important to stress affirmative action in situations like that,” said Davies. The political process can correct discriminatory hiring practices, he maintained, through using Board of Supervisors and town council elections as instruments for change. He added that he, personally, had no hesitation about speaking out and asking why there was discrimination in hiring by local government and businesses. WILL BE i CLOSED IS FRIDAY!

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22,1977 Our Rescue Squads For the average citizen, successful in avoiding illness or accident, the fire and rescue services exist in the back of his mind only as a resource of help. We don’t consider who makes up the volunteer services membership rolls or where the funding comes from. Nor do we consider the amount of mandatory training to prepare firemen or squadmen for duty. As is the case with many large-scale endeavors, the county fire and rescue system is made up of different facets—many of which the public rarely sees. Training takes up an enormous amount of time. Classes are given almost continuously for Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT’s), and fire schools are held periodically in different parts of our area. All of this, in addition to instation training, field training, and inspections by state agencies and other fire and rescue companies. New methods and practices designed to increase the effectiveness of the fire and rescue services are tried constantly. The Multiple Victim Accident Plan, which was tested last month and put into actual use two weeks later at the plane crash, is one innovation. In addition to providing adequate, multiple company aid on the scene, back-up units from adjoining areas are alerted, should one of the companies get another call. Similarly, the practice of providing “mutual aid” to volunteer units in adjoining counties has proved successful. We are fortunate to have individuals in our community who will take the time and effort required to provide lifesaving services. Unlike many other community functions, our fire and rescue companies receive almost no government funding and must rely on our donations and the proceeds of their fund-raising events to raise operating funds. Knowing that the cost of a new ambulance is now over $30,000 and a fire engine over $50,000, one can appreciate the amount of work the companies must do to stay in operation each year. The high level of preparedness reached by our emergency services becomes more difficult to maintain as the population grows, traffic increases, and tourism—expecially in our out-ofthe-way places—becomes more popular. Only with full community support can the company chiefs and captains stay ahead of growing demands and costs. Each day we live with potential hazard. The presence of our volunteer emergency services is reassuring indeed. We urge everyone to support the county’s lifesaving volunteers. School Heads Deny (Continued from Page 1) maintain an “open door” policy toward their teachers, admitted Sherertz, but, he claimed, “to many teachers that is the invitation of the proverbial spider to the fly.” While Sherertz argued that the primary complaint of the teachers he represents is their lack of involvement in policy making, he also said that another major complaint is low pay. Fauquier County teachers last March received a six per cent raise in salary. Sherertz and the Fauquier Education Association had requested that they be given a 10 per cent raise. “In most places in Virginia teachers now are making less, in terms of buying power, than they were when...I started teaching in 1963,” , said Sherertz. He said that his own starting salary in 1963 was $4500 a year and that area teachers (whose starting salary with a bachelor’s degree is about $9000 a year) have less buying power than he had 14 years ago. Fauquier County Superintendent of Schools S. Harold Lamm, who labeled Sherertz a “union boss,” said Monday that it would be both “impractical and illegal to fire a teacher for speaking out. “I’ve never found anyone here who is bashful,” Lamm said. “Teachers here frequently speak out when they have a grievance.” Lamm also said that county teachers and principals have “good working relationships” with members of the school board and the administration. Loudoun County school superintendent Robert E. Butt also maintained Monday that his teachers have a good working relationship with the Loudoun County school board. “We have a very open complaint and grievance procedure here,” said Butt. “And I have upheld the teachers’ position in two cases I can think of this year.” Butt added that he had reversed a disciplinary decision in favor of one teacher earlier this year. “There are several ways teachers can air complaints and I have no indications that they are afraid to do so,” said Butt. By DAVID LYNE Correction The report of a debate between Delegate candidates George Beard and John J. “Butch” Davies scheduled for Tuesday, September 20, in Sperryville was incorrect. Davies alone was scheduled to appear at the open meeting in the firehall. The News regrets the error, printed through a misunderstanding, and apologizes to both candidates. The Asian Princess Tree By LYT WOOD County Forestor One of the myriads of alien plants that have become naturalized in Virginia is the Princess tree, Paulownia tomentosa. it was named for Anna Paulowna, Princess of the Netherlands in the nineteenth century, and was imported from Asia for ornamental plantings. This tree is also known by the local names “Coffee Tree,” “Bigleaf,” and “Bluebell.” The Princess tree is of particular interest because of the exceptional market for its soft, light wood, which is easily worked and carved. Princess tree logs are ex Lyt Wood/for Hm Rappahannock Newt LITTLE PRINCESS TREES haviibig ears. Michael Lynch of Locust Dale holds two “elephant ear” leaves. • — *“ r ■ ported to Japan, where they are used for making caskets, crates, and wooden bowls and utensils. Typically, a clear Paulownia log will bring about the same price as an equal board-foot volume of black walnut. Since many Princess-tree products, such as wooden shoes, are small, it is usually possible to sell a log which is six inches or smaller in diameter. This tree is easily recognized by its fragrant lavender flowers (in early summer) and by its persistent clusters of round pod-like fruits. Its leaves are heartshaped and slightly hairy. Seedlings and stump sprouts grow incredibly fast, sometimes more than 15 feet in a single year. The leaves of young trees, especially in partial shade, are enormous, hence the common names “Bigleaf” and “Elephant’s Ear.” Like most fast-growing trees, the wood of the Princess tree is not very durable. Even in the living tree, the wood will not remain sound for very many years. Trees sold for timber should therefore be cut at a relatively young age.' Vigorous stump sprouts will alwayi replace the cut trees. I Our Rappahannock Heritage Fungus Aids Pine Growth By DONALD J. FREDERICK National Geographic News A fungus that often doubles the growth rate of pine seedlings may some day help rejuvenate forests and reclaim strip-mined land. Some fungi have a superior capacity for absorbing water and nutrients, and they carry these essentials to trees. The trees, in turn, manufacture carbohydrates through photosynthesis and transport them to their roots, where the fungi use them as nourishment. This beneficial relationship between friendly fungi and the root systems of host plants is called mycorrhiza, meaning literally “fungus root.” Foresters have been aware of the symbiotic root-fungus relationship for some time, but until recently, little has been done to capitalize on it. In the last years, Department of Agriculture Forest Service scientists with the Mycorrizhal Institute at the Southeast Experiment Station in Athens, Georgia, Handicapped Tuition (Continued from Page 1) retention in a regular second grade as a “slap in the face” that was hindering instead of helping the boy. “Are you willing to have him tested (as part of the Placement Committee’s investigation)?” asked Dr. Bloomer. “No sir,” Smoot answered. “He was promoted to third grade. That’s where he belongs.” Smoot said he’d promised his children a reward if they passed last year. Two did and were given a pony; one failed and got nothing. “What am I to do?” asked Smoot. “Take half the pony back since school records showed William had failed after all?” “A discrepancy exists,” stated Bloomer between the school records that show William promoted to regular second grade and the missing report card alledged by Smoot to show his son promoted to third grade. To determine where the boy belongs, “additional testing should be done, but we need your approval,” Bloomer told Smoot. “You don’t have my approval,” Smoot countered. He claimed that he was unaware of William’s previous assignments, as shown on school records, to any junior primary grades as part of the reading readiness program. Mollie Hobson interrupted to tell the Board that the teacher who began the junior > primary program for children initially unprepared to handle regular classroom work had maintained excellent contact with parents. “I’m appalled that this has come up. I see a discrepancy myself,” she stated. “You’re saying that the program was well publicized?” asked Hogan. Mrs. Hobson agreed. “She was the teacher when your child began in junior primary,” she told Smoot. “She was just top notch in getting in touch with parents.” Mrs. Massie suggested that Smoot attend the Placement Committee meeting rescheduled for September 20 and advised him to bring his child’s missing report card. Until the report card can be found, the School Board has “no jurisdiction to place William other than where he is right now” without action by the Placement Committee, said Bloomer. Vacancy Declared After a long executive session, the Board returned to an open meeting sometime around midnight. Paul Nichols moved that a vacancy be declared for the position of assistant principal at the elementary school. His motion died for lack of second. Then Board member Alan Stokes moved that all prospective candidates for die advertized position of elementary principal be interviewed. The motion passed unanimously. The Board authorized Dr. Bloomer to set up interviews for preliminary screening with the 11 applicants and any additional persons who may apply. have conducted extensive studies on fungi. They have achieved astonishing results by infesting the soil in tree nurseries with a friendly fungus called “Pisolithus tinctorius.” In some instances, the speed of growth of pine seedlings has more than doubled over normal plantings. The fungus also protects seedlings’ roots against disease and environmental extremes like drought, abnormal temperatures, and bad soil conditions. “These consistently positive results have generated considerable interest,” says Dr. Donald H. Marx, who pioneered work in the Mycorrhizal Institute. “Many foresters have come to realize that mycorrhizal manipulation can be an important tool in silviculture.” Abbott Laboratories, a pharmaceutical company, is already researching ways to produce P. tinctorius so it can be easily incorporated into the soil for tree seedling production. Before this product is commercialized, however, the Mycorrhizal Institute will launch a pilot test program in a number of tree nurseries throughout the United States to ensure that the commercial fungus works as well as the one produced in the Institute’s laboratory. The commercial production and application of a single helpful fungus is just a first step. The Institute will continue to identify other promising fungus species that might increase tree production. P. tinctorius may be in commercial use in the next two or three years, aiding nursery production and helping to guarantee survival of seedlings in the field. The fungus and others like it show great promise for the reclamation of strip-mined lands, reduced dependence on fertilizers, and healthier forests in general. (Editor’s note—Rappahannock Forester Lyt Wood reports that the Virginia Division of Forestry is researching the possibility of innoculating seedlings to be planted on private lands and strip mined sites with the fungus.) Letters To The Editor ..•I i' • ■ Energy Act Opposed To the editor: The U.S. Senate is now considering legislation which will adversely affect all consumers of electricity and their suppliers, such as The Potomac Edison Company. This is Part E, Title I, of the National Energy Act, S. 1469. The Act includes provisions which would allow the transfer of regulatory power over electric utilities from state commissions to some bureau of the vast new Department of Energy. The reasons given for this power flow to Washington are that present electric rates are wasteful and that national regulation is needed to insure that no state gains an unfair advantage in its appeal to industry by lagging in. rate reform efforts. We believe these reasons are faulty. Your own experience will tell you how much incentive to conserve has already been provided by the near doubling of the average kilowatt hour cost of electricity over the past five years. Electric power cost is simply not the determining location factor for almost all industries. Local differences would be ignored in a heavyhanded effort to require national implementation of unproven new theories of rate design. Other provisions in this Act would cause longer delays in construction of new generating facilities and would increase the already serious danger of catastrophic electric power shortages within the next few years. Because I believe there is no proven need for Part E of this Act and because its enactment will lead to unnecessarily higher costs and reduced reliability for electric . consumers, I urge you to write or call your Senators and express your opposition to this attempted assumption j of increased power by the central government in Washington.

General Manger, Potomac Edison Company ] Advice For Nothing To the editor: A What a beautiful editorial in your Sept. IS edition, and such nice advertising for our lawyers. However, I think now equal space should be given to all the other businesses and professions in our county. You don’t have to be a college graduate to know about the years of schooling lawyers, doctors, dentists, must have to become what they are, but how many people do you think readily realize the amount of continued schooling and training, not to mention money, involved in many other business areas. Most people don’t mind paying for experienced consultation, but just how many businesses can charge for this. N People would flatly refuse to pay a bill for consultation from an insurance agent, real estate agent, building or materials contractor, retail merchant, auto dealer, decorator, landscaper or investor, just to name a few. Lawyers sell their service just as the foregoing mentioned businesses. The only difference being is that they :an charge for their service and knowledge. Unless you buy something from these other businessmen and women, they don’t make any money, even though they have given you their service and knowledge. They have tremendous overhead, in:luding advertising, from the lay they open their business. Dentists and doctors :harge for what they do to rou and some even charge for :elling you what they will :harge to do something to rou!

Hallways have split personalities - no wonder, since they are broken up with windows, doors, stairways and corners. They may even wander through your house, up the stairs, to the second floor, connect your den and dining room or be the hub of your living space. As such, they require attention and may be difficult to decorate. First impressions count when guests enter your home so it is best to keep hallways calm and flowing with woodwork and doors painted in the same tones as the walls. If you decide to use a “drop dead” wall covering, carry the theme to the second floor for continuity. Make your hall say something about your home - it can be an informal or elegant statement - an introduction to your personal world. We at EARLY S CARPETS, Route 211, Amissville, 347-0400 & 502 N. Main St., Culpeper, 825-8232 can introduce you to a world of decorating ideas for your hall, your living room, your kitchen or any other room in your home. Our selection of prestige carpeting is by far the largest in the area, featuring Lees, Philadelphia and Armstrong, and all our installation work is done by our own expert crew. Open: 9-6 Mon.-Fri.; 9-5 Sat. a DECORATING TIP: Vertical lines in wall coverings raise the ceiling; horizontal designs elongate a wall. 602 N.
