Robb Hits Drought Farm Aid Democratic Lt. Governor candidate Chuck Robb has called for specific state and federal action to improve aid for drought-stricken Virginia fanners as they prepare to face the hard winter ahead. “At the very minimum the state should maintain detailed information of state and national feed reserves and establish emergency procedures for getting that food to Virginia farmers when a critical shortage develops,’’ Robb told an audience in Suffolk Wednesday evening. Robb also joined the thousands of Virginia farmers who are asking why it is taking so long for aid to be delivered. “Disaster relief work must be expedited,” he said. As of September 1, added Robb, 2,343 applications for assistance had been filed by state farmers, but only 75 payments had been received by farmers. In addition, Robb noted, no action has been taken on 15 requests for Small Business Administration loans, although SBA is now revising its programs to speed up action. “Something has to change,” Robb said. “Aid programs have no value at all if the farmers are wiped out before the aid checks arrive.” Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne McCullough THE GREAT PUMPKIN from the Peanuts comic strip may disappoint Linus again this year and pick the Ellis’ pumpkin patch in Scrabble for a visit.

Lieberman told the Commissioners that SI,150,000 worth of services funded through Chapter 10 were tied together by meeting “the mandate of the law that created the agency.” As Chapter 10’s Executive Director, Lieberman attended the meeting at the request of the Commissioners to explain how all the Chapter 10 grant requests involving a number of subordinate agencies fit together. Chapter 10 funding requests routinely pass through the Commission for comment as part of the state and federal review process. In the past, Commissioners have questioned the frequency and scope of the grants. In a brief history of Chapter 10, Lieberman stated that the agency was formed in 1973 in response to federal and state legislation in the field of mental health and mental retardation. Later, Fauquier and Orange Counties requested Chapter 10 to take over the aging and nutrition services, and in 1976 legislation added substance and alcohol abuse to Chapter 10’s scope. Review And Recommend He said that the Services Board is charged by law with reviewing the programs and recommending to local government how to fill gaps in services. “Depending on how you look at it,” Lieberman estimated that between five to 15 per cent of Chapter 10’s total budget could be charged to administrative overhead. Lieberman said that Chapter 10’s programs are made up of three divisions: —Mental retardation, including services of a —Rappahannock Nun St*H Photo A TESTING DEVICE like this one, need to measure soil and asphalt densities on highway construction, was stolen on the weekend of September 10 from a field trailer of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation in Rappahannock County.

Utilization Study Lieberman noted that the Chapter 10 staff had begun a three month’s study on utilization by individual counties of Chapter 10 services. “The amount of funds that we get from the counties is not always equal to the services received,” he said. “We try to integrate programs across as much as we can,” Lieberman said. He noted that RSVP participants are used in other programs while mental health clinic staffers visit the nutrition sites. He added that vehicles are also shared between the three “separate but equal” divisions. $1 For $10 Every dollar of the $130,000 in local tax money in the programs generates about $10 in state and federal funds, according to Lieberman. “Our ratio (of local to federal and state dollars) is as good as any in the state,” he added. Out of 11,000 Planning District 9 residents identified as needing some type of Chapter 10 service, 3,100 or one out of six families, are currently being helped. "We really serve a great number of people for the kind of rural poverty area that this is,” said Lieberman. Lieberman told the Commissioners that approximately 75 people are employed by Chapter 10 including 52 full-time positions. He estimated that 80 per cent of the $1,150,000 budget went for salaries. PD 9 Chairman Col. E. P. Luke maintained that a Chapter 10 employee’s salary pays directly for services provided. Salaries are not “administrative overhead” and are not paid to “people sitting behind desks shuffling papers,” he said. No High Overhead “It’s not the true facts of the matter...to conclude that there are high administrative overhead costs in Chapter 10 Services Board programs,” Luke stated. Commissioner Stan Haworth of Warrenton, asked Lieberman for the cost per lunch at the nutrition sites. “It's different at each site,” answered Lieberman, “because the nutrition program doesn’t have a central kitchen for meal preparation but must contract out with commercial vendors.” The Director noted that the highest price per meal was $2. He said that the figures compared about equally to nutrition program meal costs in other planning districts in the state. "How many volunteer groups have approached you to offer their help (in the nutrition program for senior citizens)!” asked Luke. "Zero?” Lieberman agreed that no private groups had volunteered to assume any of the nutrition program’s responsibilities. “That’s what 1 thought,” Luke commented. He noted that most of the criticism in Rappahannock of Chapter 10 was directed against senior citizen nutrition services. Luke said he wouldn’t mind the criticism if it were accompanied by volunteer help to change the system, “but no one volunteers.” “Some of the rules (in the nutrition program) are really out of our range,” said Lieberman. He noted that senior citizens couldn’t be charged for their meals, only asked for donations. The money collected in this way and labeled “Kick-back” funds doesn’t go towards paying for the food but (Continued on Page 6) "•'Mrr Welfare Board Faces Program Funds Deficiency The Rappahannock Welfare Board will be faced with a difficult decision next month. Social Services Director Elizabeth Buntin told Board members J. R. Latham and Carter White at last Friday’s meeting that they will have to either eliminate one of the most cost effective services from the list of programs provided in the county or ask the Supervisors for more money. "" However, even if the Welfare Board chooses to drop optional programs, the Supervisors will still have to appropriate additional funds to cover mandated assistance and administrative costs, Mrs. Buntin later explained. She estimated that approximately $4,200 additional local revenue would be required. Of that amount, $1,600 is needed to fund optional companion services to the elderly. Mrs. Buntin told the Board members at last Friday’s meeting that a deficiency in local funds allocated to Welfare Department programs and administration caused the problem. She recalled that county auditor Walter Cox had “complained bitterly” about Welfare Department budget forms getting more and more out of line with county budget forms because the differences made it difficult to accurately transfer data. In the current year, the local share of costs for assistance and administration is $27,565, according to Mrs. Buntin. However, she said that the amount of local funds in the county budget approved by Two Charged Turning In False Alarms A man from Chester Gap and a juvenile from there have been charged with turning in false alarms to several area fire companies. The arrests conclude about eight weeks of investigation by R. D. Hawkins, Deputy in Rappahannock and Hal Meredith, a Warren County investigator. A number of false alarms had been turned in to Chester Gap, Flint Hill and Front Royal fire companies. False alarms are serious offenses which cause needless waste of equipment and man hours. the Supervisors showed a deficit of $582. No funds were allocated to cover purchased services for either mandatory or optional programs. ‘‘Something is very, very wrong in the way Mr. Cox did it (transferred items from the Welfare Department budget forms to the forms used by the county)...It doesn’t allow for enough local money” or purchased services, Mrs. Buntin maintained. As a result, the Welfare Department will either have to get additional funds from the county or cut back on optional programs, according to the Social Services director. She suggested that a decision be postponed until the October 21 meeting since Welfare Board member Aline Johnson was unable to attend last Friday’s session. Mrs. Buntin excluded the chance of transferring funds from another Welfare category to cover the deficit. She noted that there was no extra money in assistance while the general relief (GR) program had problems of its own. GR funds are low and no additional money can be obtained from the state. “If we run out of money, we’ll have to wipe out the general relief program,” she informed the Board. “It’s a hard choice,” Mrs. Buntin said. “The Welfare Board will have to decide between asking for more money or eliminating chorecompanion services...It’s just about the only optional service that we have.” Good Program “But it’s one of the best,” interjected Food Stamp worker Nancy Reeve. “It saves the most money to the state in general,” she maintained. (Companion services is an alternative to expensive institutionalized care for the elderly who are not bedridden but who are no longer able to manage a household without help. A companion is paid to come into the home, take care of chores and watch over the senior citizen.) Mrs. Buntin agreed that supplying companion services was cheaper than nursing home care. Most county officials do not realize how many tax dollars are saved by companion services, added Eligibility Technician Juanita Miko, since nursing home care for the poor is paid for at the federal level through medicaid. Mrs. Buntih explained later that she’d arrived at the $582 deficit by subtracting the total Virginia Public Assistance monies from the total revenue needed for Welfare operations to arrive at the “inferred” local share. This figure is $582 more than the amount actually listed in the county budget as Rappahannock's local contribution to welfare costs, according to Mrs. Buntin. Nothing For Purchased Services Mrs. Buntin noted that nothing had been set aside for purchased services. Purchased services mandated by the state under Title 20 include day care for working mothers and foster care. Mrs. Buntin said that $1,300 was required for day care and $900 for foster care. Other purchased services have their local funding share covered by donated money through the Chapter 10 Community Services Board with whom the county has contracted to supply the purchased services, she added. Optional Program In addition, the Welfare Board had included optional companion services in it's Title 20 plan and that service required $1,600 in local funds for the five participants, according to Mrs. Buntin. She added that the Title 20 Plan included provisions to serve only five clients with companion services during the current year. The need for companion services is greater than anticipated, according to the Social Services Director. She said she’d received additional applicants for the program that had to be turned down despite meeting eligibility requirements because there weren’t sufficient funds available. To qualify for companion services, an applicant must be a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipient with a total income of $199.70 or less per month. The applicant may own a house and lot that is exempted from eligibility considerations if the applicant resides there. All other property is counted as a resource. These people served by the county’s only optional Welfare Program are the “poorest of the poor,” Mrs. Buntin concluded. Energy Savers Workshop Set October is energy month in Virginia and a Home Energy Savers Workshop will be held at the Court House in Washington on 4 October at 7:30 p.m. A series of these workshops is being held state-wide to help homeowners save as much as possible on their energy bills. Usually, 20 per cent or more. The workshops are presented by trained professionals who use an interesting series of slides. The program runs for an hour with a question-andanswer session following. Topics include: How heat flows, major home energy uses, simple saving ideas, installed savers, and future savers such as solar systems. The conservation methods described range from simple, cost-free changes in habits, to inexpensive methods such as caulking and weatherstripping, to more complex items such as furnace controls and heat pumps. The material is technically based, but presented in nontechnical everyday English. There is information for everyone from the novice saver to the professional. With nothing to sell except a belief in energy conservation, the presentation is free of commercial bias and can help the homeowner achieve the maximum energy saving possible with the money he has available. Important energy saving publications will be available without charge at the workshop. The speaker for the Rappahannock County Meeting will be Bob Naismith, who is the principal author of the workshop material and who has been conducting similar meetings all year. Bob is a licensed professional engineer in the State of Virginia and is an activist in home conservation efforts at the state and local levels. He is just finishing a new home in Flint Hill. These workshops are sponsored by the Virginia Energy Office, in cooperation with Northern Virginia Community College and the Cooperative Extension Service of Virginia Polytechnic Institute-S.U.

Police Increase Highway Patrols The recent Labor Day weekend marked the second consecutive holiday period that the Virginia State Police increased its coverage on certain interstate highways in an effort to reduce the frequency of traffic accidents and the resultant injuries and deaths. And, according to Major C. M. Boldin, the results were much the same—a high number of arrests for speeding and an almost equally high number of motorists needing assistance. Over the three-day Labor Day weekend, 39 troopers and four sergeants participated in an increased patrol on 1-95 from Richmond to Washington and also on 1-64 from Richmond to the Charles City County line. The increased patrols were for an eight-hour shift each day and although this effort was for three days compared to seven days during the July 4 week, troopers made 1,050 arrests including ,800 for speeding, 28 reckless driving and 10 for driving under the influence of alcohol. During the seven-day July 4 period, from July 1 through July 7, increased patrols involved 40 troopers and the area covered was from Richmond to Washington. The result was 2,269 arrests —1,647 for speeding, 90 for reckless driving ana 11 tor driving under the influence of alcohol. A total of 14 accidents, none of which was considered serious, were investigated during the time of the increased Labor Day weekend patrol compared to a sevenday total of 43 over the July 4 period. However, 10 persons did die in motor vehicle accidents in other parts of Virginia over the Labor Day weekend as compared to seven a year ago. "Another very important aspect of the increased patrols,” commented Major Boldin, “is the number of motorists (615) troopers were able to assist. This is very important because troopers are not out there solely as enforcers of the law, they’re also dedicated to helping the motoring public.” “Passages” Workshop ■»* The Mental Health Association of Culpeper, a United Way Agency, is offering a four part presentation on Gail Sheehy’s book, “Passages.” The book deals with the predictable crises of adult life.

All Star Revue Drew Capacity Crowd The 1977 Rappahannock All-Star Revue, a talent show on September 17 featuring the best in local talent, drew a capacity crowd for the 200 seats setup in the old schoolhoue auditorium in Washington,—and that’s not counting the many people that were busy selling baked goods, popcorn, cold drinks and other miscellaneous items, as well as those having a good time dancing in the rear of the auditorium. The talent show was the result of a joint effort by many members of the community. Local people volunteered their time to work on lighting, sound, seats, stage properties, food, Advertising, and clean-up. The program was organized by Camille Harris, director and teacher at Sursum Corda School in Washington. All proceeds from the event went to benefit Sursum Corda School, enabling the school to buy much-needed equipment and supplies. The show featured dynamic local talent that held much of the audience captive for more than five hours. Talent acts included the Sursum Corda School Silver Seals, Those Rappahannock Women, Warren Phinney with guitar and vocals, Laurie Marshall in dance, Jamie’s narrative poetry, The Tampers, Charlie Tompkins and his bluegrass group, The Beaver Dam Band; Jeanne Dreavas in “Murphy’s Magic,” a group named “Expanding, Contracting,’’ The National Comedy Team, Gary Booker with poetry, The Okays, and Steve Righter, who also played the guitar and sang.

If you are missing a billy goat, it may be temporarily living at Big Meadows in Shenandoah National Park. Park Rangers recently impounded a white male goat that was found on the Skyline Drive in the vicinity of Swift Run Gap. It has been impounded at the Big Meadows Ranger Station. The goat is quite tame and has obviously been kept as a pet. Several Park residents and workers have taken a liking to the friendly critter—in spite of its rather strong smell. The owner is requested to identify and claim this animal right away. No violation notice (for goat or owner) will be issued. If the Gospel Sing “The Masters” from Roanoke will present a spirit filled song service at Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church, Sperryville on Saturday, October 8 at 7:30 p.m. The public is invited. Refreshments will follow the song service. owner fails to claim the goat within 15 days, it will be disposed of in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations Title 36, Sec. 5.11. For further information, write or call the Chief Park Ranger, Shenandoah National Park, Luray, Virginia 22835 (703-9992241). It is hoped that goat and owner will soon be reunited. ^■pLES It's apple time again in Johnson’s Orchard at Sperryville Pick your own from tree or ground or let us pick them for you.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,1977 Funding Shortfall The Welfare Department’s $4,200 shortfall in local funding raises two questions. Fust, how did the discrepancy between what was needed in local revenue and what was actually appropriated occur? We realize that budget format required by the State Welfare Department makes it difficult to accurately transfer data to county budget forms. Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke described the process as “finding the best possible fit.” However, in this case, the fit appears to be about three sizes too tight. The local share of welfare funds appropriated on the budget form by the Supervisors falls $582 short in covering even mandated assistance services and administration costs. There’s no money for purchased services of either foster care and or day care for working mothers—an oversight that amounts to another $2,100. The Welfare Board elected to offer companion/chore services to the elderly but $1,600 for the program wasn’t allocated in local funds. The Supervisors approved the Welfare budget as submitted by Department Director Elizabeth Bun tin. They made no cuts in local funding levels but still programs ended up missing $4,000 in local tax dollars. If neither the welfare budget forms nor the county budget forms can be changed to correspond more closely, then more time needs to be spent in order to ensure that this kind of mistake doesn’t happen again. Mrs. Buntin has asked in the past that the Supervisors arrange a special session to consider *just the welfare budget. We think they ■<£« f should agree. Obviously, something better than the best fit is called for. A second question raised by the shortfall centers around the attitude of the Supervisors towards welfare programs. They seem to consider keeping costs down far more important than providing services. Further, they appear to hold Mrs. Buntin personally responsible for all the deficiencies in the welfare system. Judging from their past performance, we’d be surprised if they appropriated funds to continue the optional companion and chore services for the elderly. Dropping the program would be a mistake. It provides a welcome alternative to institutional care for senior citizens who need just a little help to manage at home. Companions are exempt from the minimum wage regulations. Their services at an hourly rate are far less than the cost of nursing home care that now runs anywhere between $800 and $1,000 per month. By hiring local people to serve as companions for the elderly, tax dollars are kept in the community rather than spent in out-ofcounty institutions. Further, welfare recipients themselves can be taken off the rolls and put back to work performing household chores and watching over senior citizens. But of greater significance to the clients of the companion services program is the chance to remain in their homes, close to their friends and a part of the community rather than sliding slowly towards death in an institution. Law does not allow for children or grandchildren to be held accountable for the care of their elderly relatives. Therefore, either federal government, state government or local government must shoulder ^responsibility. If local government can be most effective in terms of cost and human comfort, then it should take the job. VA Provides Burial Benefits Veterans Administration burial allowance benefits are available to eligible veterans. The Roanoke VA Regional Office pointed out that the government allows up to $250 toward burial expenses and an additional $150 plot or interment allowance, if burial is not in a national cemetery or other government cemetery. These VA payments will be reduced or eliminated in cases where the veteran’s employer or a state agency has made such payments, VA said. In cases where a veteran’s death is service connected, VA will pay an amount not to exceed $800 in lieu of the usual burial allowances. With the exception of Arlington National Cemetery, burial is available to eligible veterans at all national cemeteries having space, and may also be authorized for an eligible veteran’s wife or husband, minor children, and under certain circumstances, unmarried adult children. Eligibility requirements for burial at Arlington National Cemetery may be obtained from the Superintendent, Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA 22211. VA will provide a headstone or grave marker for eligible veterans, and memorial markers are provided for certain members of the armed services who die on active duty and whose remains are not recovered, or who are buried at sea. An American flag will also be provided upon request for use in covering the casket. Veterans eligible for the' VA plot and burial allowances and for burial in a national cemetery are those discharged under conditions other than dishonorable and who served in the Spanish, American War, Mexican Border period, World Wars I and II, the Korean Conflict, or the Vietnam Era. Also eligible are peacetime veterans entitled to serviceconnected compensation at time of death or discharge or who were retired for disability incurred in the line of duty, VA pointed out. Culpeper Picked For Farm Tour Culpeper County has been selected as the site of the 2nd annual Virginia Farm Management Tour scheduled for summer 1978, an Extension farm management specialist at Virginia Tech announced. Robert K. Reynolds, the specialist, said planning already is under way for next year’s tour which will showcase six or seven farms demonstrating good farm management. Dairy, livestock and grains are among Culpeper’s major farm enterprises, Reynolds said. The 1978 farm management tour will be sponsored by Tech’s Extension Division and department of agricultural economics in cooperation with Culpeper County agricultural leaders. Reynolds said the tour, while open to others, is designed primarily to permit farmers to visit enterprises of their choice and to inspect and inquire about farm management practices they consider useful on their own farms. _ _ ___ Rappahannock Nawa Photo/Daphne McCullough TIMOTHY CALLIANDRO can almost make two jack-o-lan terns out of his giant pumpkin.

John Mosby and his Rangers will ride the Blue Ridge again next month —courtesy of some Yankee boys from New York. New York farmer Don -Stumbo reformed Mosty’s 43rd Batallion of Virginia Cavalry nine years ago. At the end of the Civil War battle re-enactment season, Stumbo and his men take a holiday to Virginia and camp out at the old Army remount grounds near Front Royal. They travel with full regalia—uniforms, guns, tents, McClellan saddles, horses and artillery. The Rangers plan to spend a week, from October 9 through. 16, riding the trails traveled by Col. Mosby and his men. They also plan to hold ceremonies at local graves of Mosby men, visit Gen. Lee’s and Gen. Jackson’s graves in Lexington, review a full dress drill of the VMI cadets and take part in the third annual Col. John S. Mosby Memorial Trail Ride on Saturday, October 15, near Hassards Mills. “Anyone interested in the history of this great troop, Mosbys Rangers, may visit us and take pictures any time,” said Col. Stumbo. “This year, New York State Union troops plan to camp with us. It will be real colorful if they do.” Stumbo’s campsite, the old remount station, is located south of Front Royal off Route 522. Parks Set Attendance Record Ben H. Bolen, Commissioner of Virginia State Parks reported recently that state park attendance for this year will probably reach the three million mark. Park attendance through Labor Day weekend had already set a new record of over 2.5 million visitors. “Notable increases were in the categories of camping, swimming and hiking,” Bolen said. “Visitors seem to enjoy the close contact with nature.” Among other special programs, arts and crafts festivals, musical concerts, and programs featuring interpretive awareness themes were presented to enthusiastic crowds. One of these programs, the Pork, Peanut and Pine Festival at Chippokes Plantation State Park, attracted over 20,000 visitors. The opening of new facilities at Grayson Highlands State Park, near Volney, Virginia, has also boosted Park attendance. Of special interest is the new Visitor Center, which has been averaging 1,700 visitors per weekend since opening in early August. Although the majority of concession-operated facilities closed after Labor Day, Park officials urge people to enjoy the coloful fall season by participating in the outdoor activities available at the parks. All Virginia State Park campgrounds, however, will close for the winter at 10:00 a.m. on Nov. 28, 1977. The campgrounds will reopen on April 3, 1978. Housekeeping cabins can be rented until Oct. 3, 1977, and they will be available for the 1978 season beginning on May 1, 1978. Cabin and campsite reservations for the 1978 season may be made beginning April 3, 1978, through any Ticketron or State Park terminal. Information on State Park and commercial Ticketron terminal locations» may be obtained by calling (toll-free in Virginia) 1-800-582-8012, Monday through Friday, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., or contact the Division of State Parks, 1201 State Office Building, Capitol Square, Richmond, Virginia 23219. Telephone: 1-804-7862134. Crafts, Music Festival Set Scottish dancing, old fashioned wool spinning and new fashioned batiking, rock and roll and gospel—all will be offered at the Culpeper Crafts and Country Music Festival, sponsored by the Jayceettes to benefit the Culpeper Memorial Hospital ■ Pediatric Unit. The Festival will be held in Downtown Culpeper on October 1 from 10 a.m. through 6 p.m. Over 70 craftsmen from all over the state and metropolitan area will have booths set up with demonstrations in wool spinning, grain grinding and the production of pottery, silver jewelry and batiks. Country-western and popular music by Colorado, rock by False Reality and gospel music performed by Mr. and Mrs. John McKay will go on throughout the day. Also scheduled to perform are the Lake of the Woods Square Dancers and D. C. Scottish Dancers. Festival spokeswomen noted that the event is an excellent opportunity to do early Christmas shopping for unique hand crafted gifts. +'+++ Used car dealer, driving down the street with customer: “This is the opportunity of a lifetime.” Customer: “Yes, I can hear it knocking.” , < v FROM BOTH BARRELS Howell Was Winning Debates With Dalton By GEORGEBOWI.es Democrat State Col umniet The top quettion in Virginia politics last week was whether Republican governor candidate John Dalton helped or hurt his campaign by cancelling his debates and joint appearances with his oppo nent, Democrat Hen* ty How- BOWLES' ell. Dalton announced the cancellations at a Richmond news conference Sept. 19. Since that time speculation has been rife over the impact of the move. Whatever its effect, there has been general agreement that it was the most dramatic development thus far in the 1977 campaign for the governorship. In an effort to assess its effect, this reporter contacted about 20 political writers, political science experts and others around the state who keep an eye on such things. Those interviewed were, to the extent possible, limited to those who have taken no prior public or editorial position on the race. Dalton, in calling off the joint meetings, charged Howell with conducting a “headline-seeking, issueducking character assassination brand of politics.” He said he would no longer subject "the people of Virginia” and himself to the attacks, which he said included attacks on his family. Before going into the political assessments of the cancellations, it would be instructive to take a look at some of the Howell quotes which so upset Dalton. At his press conference, Dalton distributed a fourpage list of them. Those that follow are extracted from this list, and appear to be the roughest: —"This statement will bqual what Goebbels did, in my opinion, who was a master propagandist, during the days of Hitler.” —“...And there has been more direct mail containing distortions of my positions and deception and deceit than ever in the history of Virginia.” —“You see he’s either very deceptive or he’s dumb. One or the other, he’s deceptive or dumb.” —“...The same old thing except it’s meaner...than a junk yard dog...It’s mean, despicable, deceptive, and it’s destroying Virginia politics.” —“But, you know there was a man named Nixon, Richard was his name, and Johnny Dalton hugged him and got him by the hand and dragged him in to stand right beside Linwood Holton and get Linwood elected.” —“It is probably considered ’smart politics’ for Dalton to keep secret the sources of his personal wealth. A. closed campaign ^ predicts ' a closed ad- v ministration.” —“Concerning Mrs. John Dalton’s cookbook titled, Our Favorite Recipes, Henry Howell said, 'They’ve been giving out recipe books, and we’ve been talking about putting meat and potatoes on Virginians’ tables.’ ” These were taken from Howell press conferences, debates and speeches. Of those interviewed concerning the impact of the cancellations, the majority felt that Dalton had given his campaign a major setback. “The effect ranges from damaging to disastrous,” said a college president who indicated he was inclined to vote for Dalton. Two political science professors agreed. ‘‘Howell was counterattacking, not attacking,” observed a reporter. ‘‘He stands up there and listens to Dalton spend the whole evening twisting his views on repeal of right-to-work and gun control out of shape, and then he gets mad. It’s exactly what John has been trying to get him to do, but John’s over-reacted badly. They weren’t personal attacks on Dalton anyway. They were attacks on tilings Dalton and his staff said and did.” ‘‘I don’t see anything Howell said that wasn’t the kind of thing a politician wouldn’t just shrug off,” said another newsman. “There is something more to the cancellations than just that.” Peter Bacque, political writer for the Charlottesville Daily Progress, had a theory about what that 'something else’ might be. “I think Dalton helped his campaign by calling off the debates,” he said, “because any future debates, like the ones before, would have been like Custer’s last stand with Howell in the role of Sitting Bull.” Another reporter agreed, saying that Dalton had benefitted in two ways. “On the positive side, he will stir , up some sympathy votes. On the negative, he won’t get outpointed by Howell in any more confrontations,” he said. It may indeed be true that Dalton’s advisers believed the debates were hurting the candidate more than they were helping him. Given the nature of the political animal, it does not seem reasonable that Dalton would have called off the debates if his strategists had perceived that he was winning them. If that is so, he may have helped his campaign to the extent that he cut his losses. Most of those interviewed, however, did not believe this would offset the negative image that the cancellations may have created of a man who is either unable or unwilling to take the heat of Howell’s political broadsides. Forestry Taxation Forum Set At VPI Virginia Tech’s Extension Division will sponsor a twoday symposium on forest taxation Nov. 30-Dec. 1 on the Blacksburg campus. Harry L. Haney Jr., Tech Extension forest management specialist, said that taxes are a perennial concern to forest landowners from coast to coast whether they’re large or small, industrial or nonindustrial. The symposium will present the latest information available on the economic, administrative, political and resource allocation of forest tax policy, said Haney, an assistant professor in Tech’s School of Forestry and Wildlife Resources. Topics will include past, present and future trends in federal income, estate, and gift taxation and in state property taxation. Sponsors are Tech’s Extension Division, School of Forestry and Wildlife Resources and the U.S. Forest Service in cooperation with the Society of American Foresters’ Economics and Policy Working Group. Keynote speaker will be Mason Gaffney of the University of California’s Riverside campus. He’ll be followed by a number of forest tax experts from industry, government and university. Details about attending the forum are available at local Virginia Tech Extension offices or by writing Harry L. Haney Jr., Cheatham Hall, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Va. 24061. The Little Fox

Ma Kendalt I often wonder why I’m still living at this age,” Nora ^ Kendall mused. “There must be some good reason. I’ve been here for about five generations.” Nora Kendal will be 91 in October and most of her life has been spent in Washington, Virginia. She has listened to, loved and comforted several generations of children in the little town. The same lap that held mothers and fathers, and later rocked sons nnH daughters, now bounces grandchildren. She doesn’t get out much anymore. Her sight is failing and she’s bothered by arthritis, but Nora Kendall’s inquiring mind and gentle wit haven’t been affected by the years. Her voice is steady. It doesn’t crack with age and she can recall events of 50 years ago as clearly as she remember’s yesterday’s visitors. Ma Kendall is proof that the advice “give and you will receive” still applies. Over the years, she’s given of herself with time, love and material assistance. Since her eyesight has deteriorated, friends come in to visit and help with laundry, cooking, transportation and other needs. "Now they do for me," Mrs. Kendall said. "It’s a wonderful feeling to have friends like that.” Her memories of Washington center primarily around its children. She remembers Circuit Court Judge Raynor V. Snead as “bashful little Ray” and recalls that Ruby Jenkins, VPI Extension Secretary and Washington museum proprietor, had the prettiest hair of all the little girls with her long shiny red curls. She remembers Judge William Moffett as a chubby youngster and Washington Mayor Newbill Miller as the nicest boy in the neighborhood. She recalls Dorothy and George Davis’ son as blonde and bashful “Georgie Porgie.” “Oh yes, I knew them all—all the children,” she smiled. Arrived in 1918 Mrs. Kendall came to Rappahannock for the first time with her husband in 1918 to visit his Aunts Lydia and Molly. Washington has changed a lot since her trips in the early part of the century, when street lights were oil lanterns set on poles. “We used to come to town with our own lantern until we CUTYOUR FUEL BILLS Sierra Stoves are constructed of heavy steel plate.

Later, circumstances forced her to leave her home in New York and in 1920, she settled in Washington for good. The next few years she and her second husband, John Kendall lived in the old hotel building while they worked on the abandoned school house just outside the town limits, remodeling it into a home. “This is a good old town,” said Mrs. Kendall. “A lot of people say that George Washington slept here and no doubt he did. The old hotel building is where George Washington worked, though. That is honestly so.” Mrs. Kendall moved from Washington’s former office to her remodeled schoolhouse in 1924. In her exuberance over her new home, she decided to do something to mark it for ever and ever as truly hers. While the cement for the front porch was still wet, she wrote her initials in a corner. Another spot of wet cement by the well was imprinted with an outline of her hand. She remembers that her husband and his brothers viewed her behavior as foolish. “But you do a lot of foolish things when you’re young,” Mrs. Kendall said. She stayed in that home, known since as the Kendall house, until 1944 when, widowed, she moved up the street to the other end of town. She’s been there ever since. Over the years, Mrs. Kendall supported herself with work as a seamstress and as a nurse. The handicaps of advancing age have forced her to give both up. Many of the windows in Washington homes are still hung with Mrs. Kendall’s drapes. She said that she always loved anything artistic and her sewing work was an outgrowth of that love of beauty. _Sympathetic Nurse Her nursing was done primarily in the MarylandD.C. area for terminal patiehts'who had come home to die. The most important part of her work, she said, was lifting the morale of her patients and their families.

Still bouncing babies at 91, she holds Mary Ellen Bailey, daughter of next-door-neighbor Mary Bailey. when she was young, and from practical experience. “I never let on I didn’t know a thing until I learned it. I loved nursing and when you love a thing, you learn..,I loved nursing and I was going to do it and I did—the hard way. I never did learn Latin though,” she added with a chuckle. Her experiences in today’s world of inflexible medical standards would make most doctors cringe. Nora Kendall has even delivered babies—two of them—and carried out both deliveries without a problem. She followed all the instructions in the medical book and then threw in a folk medicine practice for good measure—burning a clean linen handkerchief and placing it on the new born’s navel cord. One of those home-delivered babies, now a grandmother, still visits Mrs. Kendall. All Her Children For years, Washington’s oldest resident has lavished affection on “her” children.

Magistrate Dovel of Luray found Charles Mitchell of Port Republic, Virginia, guilty of gathering ginseng roots within Shenandoah National Park. Park Ranger Keith Langdon observed the violation and issued citations to both Mitchell and his companion, J. Burrus of Keezletown, Virginia. Mitchell, who contested the charge, was found guilty and fined $300 and sentenced to four months in jail. The jail sentence was suspended upon proper payment of the fine. Mr. Burrus chose to plead guilty to the charge and was fined $50. Ginseng is a highly valued native herb which is becoming endangered because of long and intense gathering of its roots. National Park Rangers have stepped up their efforts to protect this rare plant through increased surveillance, and during recent weeks several suspected violators have been warned and four individuals have been cited. The Code of Federal Regulations calls for a maximum finelrf $500 andor 6 months in jail for such violations. Under certain conditions violators may be charged with a felony offense and may be prosecuted in the U.S. District Court.

COUNTR Y JOURNAL By NANCY SECRIST Extension Agent With the weather turning cooler it's time to think of weather-proofing our homes. Whether you want to save money or are concerned with conserving our energy resources, you will learn ways to do both at the Energy Workshop, this Tuesday, Oct. 4, 1977 at 7:30 p.m. at the Court House. The water heater is one of the largest consumers of energy. Following are ways to reduce waste in your daily use of hot water: 1. Make sure faucets turn completely off. 2. Set water heat at 140 degrees if you have a dishwasher, 125-130 degrees if you don’t. 3. Locate water heater as close as possible to hot water using appliances. 4. Insulate water pipes leading from tank. 5. Drain sediment from bottom of tank several times a year. 6. Turn water heater off, if you plan to be away for several days.

Green Orchard Washington, Va. 8 slices bacon diced Vi c. onions, chopped 2 lb. cans pork and beans 2 tablespoons brown sugar 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tsp. dry mustard 2 apples pared and cored Butter or margarine In a saucepan, partially cook the bacon. Pour off all but two tablespoons of the drippings. Add onions; cook until tender. Stir in pork and beans, brown sugar, and seasonings. Pour into four individual baking dishes. Top with apples, cut in eighths and ,brush with melted butter. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Makes 4 servings. SLS Notes: I sometimes use a regular baking dish and substitute four slices of Canadian bacon diced, for the bacon slices. After browning slightly in the pan, I reserve the Canadian Bacon and sprinkle it over the top of the casserole just before putting on the apples. If you use the Canadian Bacon, you will have to add about 1VS tablespoons of drippings for cooking the onions. 11 Individually owned shops under one roof DowntowiFrontRo^ Girl Scout News Good, news for Brownies and Girl Scouts I Leaders have been found for the Junior Troop and for new Brownie troops at the elementary school and at Wakefield School.

Scientists conducting thl fish tagging study are working primarily in the waste heat treatment facility of the lake. Data obtained from recaptured tagged fish will furnish valuable information on the movement and growth of Lake Anna fishes. In order for this type of fish sampling technique to work, biologists need the cooperation of anglers fishing the area. Fishermen should look at the base of the dorsal fin on any fish they catch for a colored and numbered tag. If you catch a tagged fish, the VEPCO Biologists request that you record the following information: color and number of the tag, location of the catch (as accurately as possible), date and time of catch, and the length of the fish from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail. If you wish not to record the information, you may freeze the fish and arrange for collection. The following phone numbers are available for anglers wishing to pass on information on tagged fish or to arrange for pickup. You may call these numbers collect, Monday through Friday: 804-771-3183 or 703894-5151. On Sunday, the number is 703-894-4391.

Melvin V. Lubman, an assistant professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University, has pinpointed seven factors which contribute to a person’s inability to tolerate heat. Disagreeable odors play a part in heat tolerance. If bothered by unpleasant odors, a person will be less tolerant of the heat. Fatigue and lack of sleep also reduce a person’s ability to tolerate high temperature. Worry, frustration and nervousness contribute to a person’s lack of tolerance. When a persofi becomes angry or frustrated, his body temperature increases and he feels hotter. “The secret to keeping cool is to ‘stay cool’,” advised Lubman, who studies heat factors in industrial and highway safety.
