Rappahannock News Photo/Sarah Latham RAPPAHANNOCK APPLE HARVEST is well under way and orchardists report everything from a small crop to a 75% crop, depending on varieties. These bulk bins which hold about 22 bushels filled with Yorks awaited shipping in the Moore orchards near Flint Hill. Amissville Rezoning Opposed By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New Staff Writer Objections to the proposed rezoning for Amissville from agricutlure to residential business finally surfaced at >• last Wednesday’s Planning Commission meeting but the opposition came eight months too late to affect the Planners’ decision. A contingent from Amissville attended the advertised public hearing on the rezoning in January, offered suggestions, and indicated support—or at least no opposition—to the proposal. The Planners then voted unanimously to recommend rezoning to the Supervisors. Last Wednesday, Capt. Luther Stuart asked the Planners what purpose would be served by rezoning. Chairman Herbert Barksdale answered that the Supervisors felt the town needed established boundaries. “What good is it going to do Amissville?” asked Capt. Stuart. He noted that the town’s rural delivery service and post office address extended into Fauquier and Culpeper Counties. “I see no reason to make a definite outline for Amissville,” he stated. Planner Dave Fannon explained that the rezoning proposal was “sort of an attempt to confine development to the villages themselves rather than having it dotted all over the countryside.” Business District Proposed “Then it would be better to make it a business district rather than a residential district,” countered Capt. Stuart. He maintained that residential business (RBI) development criteria were so strict that “you couldn’t do a thing down there...couldn’t have another retail store,” if the district was established. Planner Newbili Miller disagreed. He told Stuart that any business in any existing RBI District (which includes the villages of Sperryville and Flint Hill) is legal in all RBI Districts, with a special use permit. Miller noted that development criteria were not as rigid for RBI as for business or agricultural districts. “Thoughts to rezone Amissville didn’t come from the Planning Commission,” Miller added. Instead, he said that the Planners were asked by the Board of Supervisors to draw boundaries for the village. “As a matter of planning, I think it’s a good idea to have the boundaries defined.” Barksdale advised the four Amissville residents to take their objections to the rezoning before the Board of Supervisors, adding that the Planners had no authority to reconsider their original recommendation in favor of the proposal. Boundaries Should Be Extended Mrs. Stuart told the Planners that she’d heard dissatisfaction over the failure of the proposed RBI boundaries to include Early’s Carpet and Belair and Lombardy restaurants. By omitting Early’s Carpet in particular, she maintained, “you’re leaving out the one productive business in Amissville that employs a lot of people.” She noted that, under their current agricultural designation, Early’s would have to go through the involved process of a public hearing, should they decide to expand. County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner corrected her, stating that the Early Carpets lot was zoned business, not agriculture. Barksdale suggested again that the Amissville residents talk to their Supervisor and find out if the Board was going to have a public hearing on the Planning Commission’s recommended rezoning. Daytime Hearings Opposed If the Supervisors hold a public hearing, interjected Bobby Carter, it will be during the day when “working men” wouldn’t be able to take time off to attend. Mrs. Stuart commented that she hadn’t seen the Amissville Supervisor since the last election. Capt. Stuart asked if the Planners would be bothered should dissatisfied village residents draw up a petition proposing that the village retain its current agricultural designation. The Planners indicated that none of them felt strongly, one way or the other, about establishing boundaries for Amissville. In another matter, the Planners decided to make no recommendation on a proposed Virginia Outdoors Plan that would possibly include scenic designation for a portion of the Thornton River between Sperryville and Monumental Mills and a section of Route 729 from Ben Venue and Flint Hill. Miller said he couldn’t favor a scenic highway without first getting an opinion from the Highway Department on traffic load ASCS To Hold Annual Elections The 1978 ASCS Community Committee elections will be held on December 5, 1977. The mail ballot method will be used. A list of eligible voters has been prepared by the Rappahannock County ASC i • office. This list is posted in the county office for public inspection. Farmers in Rappahannock will be able to nominate candidates for the community committees. Petition forms have been mailed to all known eligible voters as of October 6, 1977. These petitions must be delivered to the county office no later than October 31 to be eligible for inclusion on the official ballot.

He added that he opposed scenic designation for both the Rappahannock Trail and the Thornton River because of restrictions that accompanied such a move. He noted that impoundments, channelization, crossings anc. roadways couldn't be built on a scenic river without the approval of the General Assembly. Rescheduled Planning Meeting The Planners postponed the scheduled zoning ordinance review until the next Commission meeting, set for Monday, October 24 at 7:30 in the courthouse.

Agricultural And Forestal District Act Reviewed By daphne McCullough Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Questions on the Agricultural and Forestal District Act were raised but left hanging at last Friday’s Ag District workshop sponsored by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission at Germanna Community College. —Is the Ag District Act unconstitutional because it allows use value taxation on farm land within a district while similarly classified farm land outside the district is taxed at full market value? —If land use taxation is granted to landowners within an Ag district, does it also have to be allowed to all farm land throughout the county? —Are orchards an agricultural enterprise eligible for district membership, or are orchards classified under horticulture and therefore excluded? —Can local government restrict membership in a district to just agricultural land, and omit forest property from consideration? —Does the Ag District Act effectively nullify the constitutional prerequisite for a comprehensive plan before a locality can enact use value taxation? Some of these questions may eventually have to be resolved in court, according to the workshop’s panel, made up of representatives from the state Attorney General’s office, Department of Taxation, Department of Agriculture and VPI. The experts gave no final answers on Friday. Eligibility And Procedure Assistant Commission of Agriculture T. Graham Copeland began the session with an outline of eligibility requirements and procedural steps necessary for the formation of an Ag district. He told the audience that an eligible landowner must initiate the process by petitioning for a district. The proposed district must include a minimum of 500 acres. If larger than 500 acres, the petitioners must own 50 per cent of the proposed district. Copeland added that local government may include or exclude land from the district. However, no landowner can be forced to join and before official formation of an ag district, the application must contain the signature or written approval from each proposed member. Upon receiving an application for an ag district, the governing body must appoint a nine member advisory committee comprised of four farming landowners, four free holders and one member of the governing body. This committee has “the biggest input into the final decision,” said Copeland. The committee’s primary responsibility, he said, is to determine if the land is “agriculturally significant,” but added that a decision to approve or reject an ag district could be based on factors other than soil quality, such as local development patterns and needs and the financial impact of an ag district’s use value taxation on a locality. After the governing body receives the application, it must act within 180 days to either approve or deny, according to Copeland. The application goes first to the Planning Commission for comment and advertisment, then to the special advisory committee, then back to the Planning Commission for public hearing and recommendation and finally to the Board of Supervisors for public hearing and decision. The district can be set up for anywhere between four and eight years at the discretion of the governing body. Each district requires a separate ordinance and the initial period of establishment may vary with each district. True Agricultural Zoning “The greatest impact (of the Agricultural and Forestal District Act), stated Copeland, “is that it allows...landowners to obtain for the first time true agricultural zoning.’’ He added that previously, local agricultural districts were usually composed of “all the land that’s left over” after residential, commercial and industrial areas are deliniated. “It provides for the preservation of agriculture and forest land,” Copeland concluded. “It’s quite likely that the General Assembly set a significant policy in motion with the passage of the Agricultural and Forestal District Act,” began J. Paxton Marshall, professor and extension specialist in the Department of Agricultural Economics at VPI. “In planning and zoning of land, agricultural districts as we know them under present law, have been basically a dumping ground,” he maintained. He added that landowners didn’t want it any other way “because they didn’t want any zoning at all.” Marshall noted several implications arising from last year’s passage of the Ag District bill by the General Assembly. Families that own farm businesses are now “given the opportunity to increase the certainty in which they make decisions” and so will improve farm property maintenance, according to Marshall. By encouraging the preservation of the best soils in agricultural usage, Marshall maintained that the Ag District Act would lower the cost of production and therefore lower costs to the consumer in the long run. Development Pressures The Act is designed to discourage and reduce development pressures in districts, he continued, by excluding spending of public money except where the expenditure is farm related. “There is some misconception about what is quality land and where development pressures should go,” Marshall said. He noted that efforts by some counties to put the entire county into an ag district should be discouraged. “It was not the intent of such a district to reach a monopolistic control on land and prevent development everywhere.” He added that low quality land proposed for inclusion into a district should be “seriously considered.” The Ag District Act will encourage the maintenance of farming related businesses that are not intensive employers but do offer "considerable employment in any community,” said Marshall. It will also give a stronger voice on land use issues in a district to its members, according to the VPI specialist. ‘‘There will be numerous voices speaking as a single voice,” he said. Finally, Marshall maintained that the Ag District Act “will set in motion a tradition” that will bring land use under greater (Continued on Page 5) New Library Hours Set The Rappahannock County Library is going to try again to expand services to the community. Librarian Grace Sims reports that a number of library users have suggested evening hours of operation. Although a similar experiment was unsuccessful two years ago (only four people visited the library during night hours over the trial period), the library staff is willing to give evening hours another chance. Beginning October 11, the library will be open Tuesday evening from 5 to 8 p.m. Mrs. Sims emphasized that community support is needed to continue the new hours. Saturday Night Crash Fatal to Castleton Man Jesse Randolph Grigsby, 20, of Castleton was fatally injured in a single vehicle crash in Rappahannock Saturday night. A passenger with him, Mathew Dean Hitt of Sperryville, sustained a broken left shoulder and lacerated left leg. This is the first fatality on Rappahannock roads this year. The crash occurred on Route 679, a portion of old Route 211, seven tenths of a mile west of Ben Venue. Grigsby, driving a 1962 Chevrolet, failed to negotiate a curve on the road, ran off an embankment and was pinned beneath the car. Trooper H. A. Newlin investigated the crash. Saturday afternoon near Flint Hill on Route 522, Norman Grady Vest of Flint Hill, operating a 75 Dodge van, struck a bridge abutment. Vest, who said he didn’t remember what happened, he blacked out, sustained a possible fracture of his left knee, according to Trooper R. A. Baines. The following day two vehicles were involved in a collision on Route 611 near Amissville. Sylvester R. Grigsby and Laurence Ritchey, both of Amissville were1 the drivers ot the cars. According to Trooper Baines, Ritchey was charged with hit and run, no insurance and no inspection after leaving the scene. He was driving a 63 Mercury when he struck Grigsby’s 1963 Ford convertible, said the officer.

Inheritance Taxes A Complicated Mess By DAPHNE 1 ^Non^SuR Writer . liny certainties in life ith^hnd taxes, ac-\ Jo''an old adage. Put together and the* combination is (mother surety inheritance taxes.' Washington attorney S baron aebach and her colleague froflh ^arreqtd'n, Lee Albreoht attenfpted to explain ^^rcomplexities of inheritence laws and federal tax statutes at a meeting last Wednesday in Washington sponsored by the Rappahannock Ad Hoc Committee for the Passage of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). ERA was not the topic of the meeting. Instead, the two attorneys gave brief presentations on inheritance procedures and then answered questions for almost two hours. Sharon Genebach began by listing the order in which property passes according to law when an individual dies in testate, or without a will. Real estate goes first to children, subject to the marital interests of the remaining spouse, she said. If there are no children or descendents of children, real estate passes to the spouse. Next in inheritance priority is the father or mother, then brothers or sisters. She added that terms of a deed for real Estate property can also iit&uence inheritance. „ Miss Genebach pulled out several examples of obscure inheritance laws included in the Virginia Codes: — Illigitimate children inherit normally, just as do legitimate children, from their mothers but not from their fathers. — Children born posthumously inherit just as children born before death if the birth occurs within 10 months of death. — The property of individuals who die without a will passes to the state if there is no family. — Women, but not men, can hold property as a separate estate not subject to any marital interest. She told the audience that one third of a couple’s personal property passes to the surviving spouse and the remainder to the children should an individual die in testate.

Main St. — Culpeper during the marriage but, said Miss Genebach, this is a contingent interest and doesn’t become vested until after the other spouse’s death. Wills can be drawn for anyone who is 18 or over and of sound mind, according to Miss Genebach. She noted that a valid will could be drawn without involving a lawyer. An individual can write out a will entirely in his own hand and it will be binding. Wills change along with an individual’s circumstances, she noted. Divorce will revoke parts that apply to the divorced spouse. Property left to a son or daughter will pass to their heirs should the son’s or daughter’s death proceed the death of the testator. In cases involving a missing heir, a presumption of death will be granted if the missing heir has left his home state and not been heard from in seven years, according to Miss Genebach. Household items are not subject to the debts of an estate and pass absolutely to spouses and minor children, she said. Until the law was changed in 1973, unmarried daughters were also specifically named as having claim to household items. Miss Genebach told the audience that the law was ambiguous as to whether joint bank accounts should be considered as part of the deceased’s estate or as an asset of the surviving spouse. “There’s case law on both sides,” she said. Lee Albrecht stated that federal taxes are “possibly the largest aspect of inheritance” or estate planning. Federal tax is applied on all the assets that are owned at the time of death, including life insurance policies, according to Albrecht. Life insurance is considered an asset unless, he said, the beneficiary is “irrevocably designated.” Taxes are also assessed on jointly owned real estate, he noted, adding that “the taxation people have spent the last ten years trying to close all the loopholes that they can.” Albrecht said that there had been a significant change in Internal Revenue Service attitude toward joint farm ownership in the past year. Previously, a women who survived her husband was not considered as as half owner of the farm unless she could prove that she had con Rappahannock Nawi Photo*/Daphne McCullough SHARON GENEBACH, Washington attorney, spoke on inheritance laws at a meeting sponsored by the Rappahannock Ad Hoc Committee for the Passage of ERA last week and stayed to answer inquiries from the audience after the regular question and answer session. Chimes Dedicated A ceremony was held Sunday at the Amissville United Methodist Church when the chimes which have been installed were dedicated. The chimes, given by Mrs. G. E. Doyle, in memory of her father, the late T. W. Latham, and in honor of her mother, Mrs. Flora Latham, play several times each day. Among those of the family joining Mr. and Mrs. Doyle and Mrs. Latham for the dedication were Mrs. Milton Miller of Coldchester, Conn., Mrs. James Smith of Chevy Chase, Md., Mr. and Mrs. Dick Walter, Mrs. Ella Rowzie, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Rust and grandson of Wheaton, Md., Mrs. Sandra Todd and Candy of Silver Spring, Md., Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Ebert of Florida, Mrs. Mae Chapman of Annandale, Mr. and Mrs. Buddy Rowzie and sons David and Russell of Arlington, Mr. and Mrs. Bobby Sheppard, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Smith, Mrs. John Flickinger and children, Frosty and Tiffany and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Childs, all of Hyattsville, Md.; Louise Moreland, Catherine Manley and Carrie Taylor, all of Washington, D.

Surviving wives are now presumed to have contributed half and the burden of proof is on the IRS to prove otherwise before federal inheritance taxes can be applied on the entire farm. Federal taxation is “quite steep,” noted Albrecht, and often heirs run into problems with paying the taxation before they can inherit. Providing for the payment of federal taxes on an estate is “probably as much reason for entering into a will as anything else...Inheritance taxes statues are not the most advantageous in terms of the tax burden on the survivor,” he commented. , As an example, Albrecht said the tax rate was 18 per cent on estates with a net value of $10,000 and 30 per cent on a net value of $100,000. When life insurance, business interests and the family home are considered, he maintained that it wasn’t hard for an estate to leap into the $250,000 bracket. In 1977, inheritance statutes were changed to allow a 50 per cent or $250,000 marital deduction to the surviving spouse and a $30,000 tax credit, according to Albrecht. The high marital deduction was awarded so as not to create an undue burden on the surviving spouse, he said, adding that estates passing outside the family or to adult children were taxed to the fullest. He advised anyone drawing up a will to seek advice from imiim a lawyer. “This is an extremely complex area...I’ve done graduate work in taxation but I still have only a small understanding.” tax consequences—not practical consequences—it’s best to leave an estate directly to the children, not a spouse,” Albrecht advised. •V>He abided that the number of - heirs did not affect federal!' estate taxes. “The federal tax is the same—whether you, have one beneficiary or 18.” " WARRENTON ATTORNEY LEE ALBRECHT, who has done graduate studies in the field of inheritance taxes, was a speaker at the Rappahannock Ad Hoc Committee for the Passage of ERA s special meeting last Wednesday. He noted that the only sure way to circumvent high estate taxes was through outright gifts before death. An individual may give $3,000 per year to each heir and suffer no tax consequences. The $30,000 tax credit is unaf' fected by these gifts, as long as the amount is below $3,000 per year, he said. “If you’re just considering iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTTiniiiiiiiiiiiiiir, ^HORSE SHOW Sat., Oct. 22 Beginning at 10 a.m. Old Mill Stables \ Woodville For further information contact Moody Aylor at 987-8215 uiinitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniimuuiiuiiuiiiiiiiuiiiuiiiiiiiiiuniiiiri | We have a surplus of small horses and must | 1 dispose o1 them quickly to make room for larger | 1 horses.

Unfortunately, county farmers were busy cutting hay but, at Davies’ request, Quillen said he would try to arrange an Agricultural Subcommittee meeting to be held in the 25th District to hear farmers’ comments on problems with drought aid programs. Davies Gets “Fair” Rating The Virginia Taxpayers Association (VTA) has released ratings for candidates for contested seats in the House of Delegates. John J. “Butch” Davies, Democratic challenger in the 25th District, was ranked fair. George Beard, the Republican candidate, was not named in the Association’s list. According to the release, omission indicates an “unsatisfactory or poor” rating. Ratings are based on the candidate’s record as judged by taxpayer standards and an 18-item questionnaire sent by the VTA to all delegate candidates in July. Thirty candidates received “good” ratings and 34 received “fair”. The taxpayer association points out that a “good” rating does not necessarily indicate total VTA agreement with a candidate’s stand on all issues but rather that the candidate is generally regarded as working in the best interests of taxpayers and the state as a whole. Issues favored by the VTA are: Opposition to the $125 bond referendum; establishing a legislative definition of “fair market value” in real estate assessments so as to exclude personal property and sales costs; election of local boards for equalization of real estate assessments; optional election of local school boards. Also, requirements of 90 days notice of local bond referenda, with full in Chester Gap Area News By BESSIE M.

Cancer Line Is Operating The Cancer Answer Service, a toll-free statewide telephonic information system sponsored by the American Cancer Society (ACS), Virginia Division, is now in operation. By calling 1-800-552-79%, information about cancer, treatment services and facilities, patient services, and information about the American Cancer Society and its programs is readily available to all Virginia residents. This is a toll-free service which may be used by Virginia residents in every part of the state, except the Richmond area. Specially trained volunteers will be working each weekday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to receive requests via the Cancer Answer Service. A special feature of the service will be a direct line tie-in with the Health Line at the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) in Richmond where a bank of tape recordings on various sites and types of cancer is available. The main purpose of the program is to make information about cancer readily available to every citizen of the state. When a person calls, he may receive answers to questions about a specific kind of cancer, about a new drug, or about treatment services. In some instances the caller may be referred to a community resource in his own area which was previously unknown to him.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6,1977 No Excuse Beginning this month, the Rap* pahannock News will carry a calendar of government meetings. Clip it and put it up somewhere—tacked on a bulletin board or taped to an ice box. Then make it a point to show up at a few of the sessions. We’re consistently amazed at the low turn out for meetings of the School Board, Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission. People tell us that they don’t know when the meetings are held or that the meetings are scheduled during the day when working men and women can’t attend. We don’t think either excuse stands up. A call to county offices can easily establish the time, hour and place of a meeting. As for daytime meetings, it might help if the Supervisors rescheduled their sessions for evening hours but we doubt it. A few people would come for the first couple of night meetings and then we think attendance would drop right off. After all, the School Board divies up 80 per cent of the county’s money in its operations and only two or three interested citizens show up for School Board night meetings. The Planners get even less attention and they also meet at night. Generally, at Planning Commission meetings, there’s a representative from the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection, a representative of the Rap pahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission staff and the press. Occasionally, for controversial rezoning issues or at budget time, the court room is packed. But Rap* pahannockers should realize that their protests would be more effective if they showed up more than once a year. This wouldn’t mean coming to every meeting—just coming to a few without having an ax to grind. _We applaud the Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education for moving in the right direction. Rap* pahannock’s Superintendent of Schools attended the last Citizens for Education meeting and invited members to attend the next School Board meeting in order to gain a better understanding of the complexities that the Board must deal with. At last month’s School Board meeting, Citizens for Better Education were there. They didn’t ask the School Board members for anything, didn’t give them advice, didn’t criticize—just sat and observed. If the Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education continue to monitor meetings in this manner, we feel they’ll have more standing when they do decide to speak out on an issue. They will have demonstrated their commitment and concern with action instead of just words. Turkey Prices Up Turkey prices this fall are expected to gain seasonally as consumer demand increases and prices will probably average in the low to mid SO’s. Retail prices for medium-sized frozen turkeys during the holiday season will likely average slightly above last year. With a total of 8.7 million birds this year, Virginia is raising the largest number of birds on record, which would indicate an ample supply for the coming holidays. National turkey output through lune 1977 was the same as in 1976. Fewer birds were marketed, but weights were heavier. Declining feed prices and stronger market prices for turkeys this summer and fall will most likely lead to larger production of poults than a year earlier for marketing during the first half of 1978. Production costs for poultry have declined from the high spring levels because of declines in corn and soybean meal prices. Current production costs of turkeys are below year-earlier levels and likely will remain below throughout the balance of 1977 and into 1978. The lower cost of feed ingredients will more than offset the rise Poetry Workshop An eight-week workshop for people who would like to learn to write poetry, or to share their work with others, will begin Oct. 12. The workshop will meet Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the Nethers Center off route 522 in Woodville. The eight-week series costs $28. The group will be limited to ten people. Since only four openings are left, interested people would do well to phone in their registrations Monday Oct. 10 from 6-9 p.m. at 987-8913. during the past year in the cost of other production items. The turkey situation looks favorable for the first half of 1978. Feed prices will be lower and the demand for turkey meat looks relatively favorable. Cold storage holdings of turkeys on September 1, 1977, totaled 33.5 million pounds or 10 per cent below this date last year. Whole turkeys totaled 268.3 million pounds or 15 per cent below a year ago. Other turkey stocks at 66.2 million pounds were up 18 per cent from last year. Virginia carlot or truckload turkeys FOB New York last Thursday’s offerings were: fryer-roasters 49 lbs., 57 cents; young hens 8-10 lbs., 56-57 cents; Toms 14-26 lbs., 57-58 cents; 26-28 lbs., 60-62 cents; 28-30 lbs., 67 cents; and 30 lbs. and up, 70 cents. “Passages ” Workshop Set Barbara Thompson ot Sperryville will conduct a workshop sponsored by the Mental Health Association of Culpeper on Gail Sheehy’s book, “Passages.” The book deals with personal development, a subject area on which Mrs. Thompson is immanently qualified. Barbara Thompson has a Masters in Guidance and Counseling. She has led workshops in assertiveness training, communication skills and human relations for a variety of organizations, including church, educational and government agencies. She has also had experience in leadership training, career counseling and women’s programs and has taught at a number of levels, including college, in Washington, D. C., California and Istanbul, Turkey. “In Passages, the author, Gail Sheehy, set out to describe the states of development through which we pass during adulthood,” said Mrs. Thompson. “While childhood has long been recognized as a period when developmental stages of growth could be observed, it remained for Gail Sheehy to present in highly readable form the evidence of a corresponding sequence of events in adulthood. Not only are the stages predictable, but once we are aware and anticipating, more control of our lives may be achieved. "It is evident that Passages carries a message for people today in midlife, for it remained on the bestseller list for over a year,” she said. “It is a book for men and women, for couples, for single people, for the young and the not so young,” said Mrs. Thompson. “At a time when people are questioning values and roles, it brings a new view for understanding and integrating the stages of life through which we pass, with the emphasis on creative preparation for the future.” The four-part workshop series will begin Thursday, October 6.

Our Rappahannock Heritage Gas Guzzler Phased Out The cowboy’s sad farewell to his faithful horse, “Goodbye, old Paint,” may soon be applied by American motorists to their trusty V-8s. The familiar engine with its two slanting rows of cylinders can’t cure its drinking habit. Higher gasoline prices and the government’s emphasis on fuel conservation have brought the gas-guzzling power plant to the end of the trail. General Motors plans to produce no more V-8s after 1983. In that year, only the Corvette will have an eightcylinder engine, the corporation recently informed the National Highway Safety Administration in Washington, D.C. Popularity Came Late The V-8 has been around for 70 years, the National Geographic Society points out. But the big engine didn’t become popular until the 1930s, and demand reached a peak during the last two decades. The first automobiles of the 1890s were one-cylinder affairs that were eclipsed within a few years by cars with more powerful multicylinder engines. In 1902, Locomobile set the pattern for future autos by producing the first American car to feature a water-cooled, four cylinder engine placed in front of the driver. Five years later, Edward R. UNICEF Activities After 31 years, UNICEF is still in the business of helping our most valuable resource —children. And the Children’s Fund goes further to do this. In terms of distance...UNICEF goes to over 100 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. In terms of service...UNICEF helps provide a wide range of programs for children, in health, nutrition and education. Funds contributed to UNICEF go further too. You may think a dime won’t go far these days but, through UNICEF, just 10 cents can vaccinate a child against polio. Just 25 cents can provide a clinical thermometer for a health worker. 50 cents can buy 12 exercise books for a literacy program. October 31st is National UNICEF Day by Presidential Proclamation—a time to highlight the needs of children and a time to act on their behalf. Here in Rappahannock county an observance of UNICEF Day is being sponsored by The United Methodist Youth Fellowship. Activities will include door-to-door collections for UNICEF on Sunday evening, October 30. Hewitt mounted two banks of cylinders at an angle atop a single crankcase and the V-8 was born. The Hewitt was a good car, but it was so expensive that only a few were produced. It was cheaper to build in-line engines with four or six cylinders in a single row. Yet the horsepower race had just begun. In 1914 Cadillac successfully marketed a car with a V-8 engine. The following year three other manufacturers offered eight-cylinder engines and Packard introduced its 12-cylinder “Twin Six.” Adding cylinders was not the only way to get more power from an engine, however. Higher compression and shorter piston strokes increased the revolutions and the power—and the stress on long crankshafts. V-8 the Solution High-speed engines doomed the “straight eights.” By 1916 there were 18 automobile companies building cars with - V*8 engines, 1 whose .shorter crankshafts vibrated less. They included Cadillacs and Oldsmobiles, as well as such forgotten makes as the Abbott, Briscoe, Cole, King, Peerless, Monarch, Standard, and others. The V-8s powered the luxurious tourers and chauffeured limousines of the rich. Then in 1932 Ford brought out the first low-priced car with a V-8 engine, a feat made possible by innovations in foundry techniques that permitted casting the entire engine block and crankcase as a single unit. By 1953, most new American cars boasted V-8 engines and the powerful, gas-gulping, Detroit products, sought after by motorists here and abroad, became an international symbol of success. Now, as soaring costs of petroleum and materials force motorists and manufacturers to turn again to four— and six-cylinder cars, the V-8’s last stop may be in automotive museums. ++++ Temper is what gets most of us into trouble.

FROM BOTH BARRELS Jimmy And Panama, Bert And Henry By GEORGE BOWLES Democrat Correspondent By any accounting, President Carter’s political foray into the Old Dominion Sept. 24 must be regarded as one of the landmark events of the 1977 race for governor. It was, without question, a dramatic gesture of support for Democratic governor can BOWLES dictate nenry noweu, lieutenant governor candidate Charles S. Robb and attorney general candidate Edward E. Lane. In far stronger terms than had been expected, Mr. Carter embraced not only Howell but the entire “Rainbow ticket.” He repeatedly urged Virginia voters to elect the whole slate during speeches in Roanoke, Norfolk and Williamsburg. Nor is there any question that the President’s visit gave a powerful boost to the morale of the Democratic partisans. Between eight and nine thousand turned out for the rally in Roanoke’s Civic Center. Well over 5,000 were on hand in Norfolk’s Azalea Gardens. About 140 couples paid the requisite $1,000 to attend a super-fundraiser in Williamsburg. It was an impressive response. But the real question is, of course, how much—if any—did the visit sway the broad body of the Virginia electorate who, just six weeks hence, will choose between the “Rainbow ticket” and Republican John Dalton and his running mates. If past visits by such toplevel dignataries are any guide, the impact may be substantial indeed. Nixon Helped Holton In October 1969, newly elect'd President Richard Nix* l, riding the crest of his pre-Watergate popularity, came into the state to campaign for Republican governor candidate Linwood Holton. His appearance has Coming Events As a public service, the Rappahannock News will publish a monthly calendar of government meetings and events of interest to county residents. Civic groups and other non-profit organizations that would like items placed on the calendar should call the News office by October 24 in order to be included in November’s listing.

Three years later Vice President Spiro Agnew paid a dramatic election-eve visit to the Commonwealth in behalf of Republican senate candidate William Scott. His speech at a Richmond rally helped seal the fate of the incumbent Democrat Sen. William Spong. Agnew was uie iaoi oi me state’s conservatives and was then untouched by the scandal which later brought him down. The Watergate break-in had occurred, but its darker implications were still only a glint in the eyes of two then unknown Washington Post reporters. Several factors help cloud an accurate assessment of the impact of the Carter visit. In the first place, it was much earlier relative to election day than those by Nixon and Agnew. A visit by the President of the United States is, after all, a tough act to follow.. Some Democratic strategists are concerned about what the campaign can do to avoid the appearance of having “peaked” too early. One Howell staffer said that the emphasis from now until election day will be on issues and on Howell’s record of public service. “We’re going to accentuate the positive,” he said, “and try to get Henry to stay off Dalton’s back for a while.” Another factor will be how well the President’s popularity fares in the weeks immediately ahead. How Mach Help, Really Mr. Carter has unburdened himself of the person of Bert Lance, but his impassioned defense of his friend in accepting his resignation may return to haunt him if Lance’s personal troubles continue to deepen. The fact that Carter failed to carry Virginia in the 1976 Presidential balloting would a not seem to bear on the question. Carter received 813,8% to President Ford’s 836,554 with a scattering going to minor candidates. Carter’s deficit was a relatively miniscule 22,658 votes. The turnout of many thousands on the President’s most recent visit to the Old Dominion shows there is a vast difference between a visit to the Commonwealth by Jimmy Carter, the doubtful candidate, and Jimmy Carter, President of the United States. Another issue that seems destined to be around for some time is that of the ratification of the Panama Canal treaty. The question has been seized upon by the denizens of the Republican right wing and is ready-made for their exploitation. The case against ratification can be simply stated and easily wrapped in the flag of patriotic appeal. The case for ratification, however, requires a study of the treaty’s terms and a more thoughtfiil appraisal of the canal’s future value and defensibility in its relationship to the nation’s long-term best interests. Panama Question Complicated There is not much question which case can be more easily argued, and the President is on the side that is complicated. If Mr. Carter’s popularity should erode markedly in the weeks ahead because of these or other issues, the value of his support of the Howell candidacy may be tarnished accordingly. The Howell strategists, however, do not regard this as likely. Indeed, as this is written, speculation is stirring that other members of the Carter family will be visiting the Commonwealth in behalf of the Rainbow ticket. Ine most prominently mentioned possibility is First Lady Rosalyn Carter. Also, a second visit by the ^ President, perhaps the weekend before the election, is considered well within the realm of possibility and may already be in the works. Oearly, Howell and his advisers believe the President’s September foray was a healthy ‘plus’ for Howell in his drive for the governorship. The view here is they are right.

Agricultural And Forestal District Act Reviewed (Continued from Page 1) scrutiny in the years to come. Otto Fraher, State £ Department of Taxation ' Supervisor for appraising, told the audience that there was no “simple rule of thumb” for estimating the percentage of tax revenue lost by approval of an agricultural district without an indepth study of the particular locality. He noted that it would be impossible to know exactly how many landowners inside the district would apply for use value taxation. Assistant Attorney General Mason T. Jacks noted that a long reaching implication of the Ag District Act would be its effect on emminent domain. In a district, the local governing body has the power to veto the acquisition of property by emminent domain, even if exercised by state agencies, according to Jacks. Roll Back Taxes He added that “another serious implication” of the Act is that it includes no guarantee that a landowner can get out of a district, once he has joined. Once a landowner has sought to get in and accepted the benefits, “there’s no automatic way to get out except by inheritance,” he said. If a landowner wants out, his request must first be reviewed by the governing body to determine if he has “good and reasonable” cause to withdraw and if withdrawal is approved, the farmer is subject to rollback taxes for a maximum period of five years. He must pay the difference between use value taxation and taxes based on fair market value. After presentations from the panel, the meeting was opened to questions from an audience heavy with representatives from local government in the Planning r District. Planners, Supervisors and farmers from Madison, Culpeper and Orange took advantage of the opportunity to prepare for their first ag district application. Fauquier’s Planning staff was represented by Gray Parker and the Warren ton based Piedmont Environmental Council sent Jim Marshall. Only Rappahannock County failed to have an observer at the workshop session. No Land Use Plan Required Assistant Attorney General Jacks maintained that a land use plan was not necessary for adoption of an ag district, despite the Virginia Consitution’s requirement that a comprehensive plan must be enacted before a locality can allow land use taxation throughout its jurisdiction. Should a comprehensive plan exist, it would be subordinate to ag district requirements, he added. No property can be included in an ag district without the landowners consent and while the district may have holes to accommodate landowners unwilling to join, it must be a “generally contiguous area,” Jacks said. Use values of property in an ag district “would not necessarily be uniform,” said Supervisor for Appraising Otto Fraher. Each application for use value taxation would be considered individually with values based on the agricultural ability of the soil, he said. The Agricultural and Forestal District Act states that, upon receipt, an application “may be” referred to the Planning Commission. Jacks acknowledged that “may” is usually interpreted as permissive, not mandatory but would not commit himself as to whether the governing body has discretion to proceed through the Planning Commission or not. “It was not the intent of the law that the governing body can deny an application upon receipt” by choosing not to forward it to the Planning Commission, interjected Marshall. Change In Use Property that is withdrawn from an ag district after inheritance is subject to rollback taxes only if there is a change in the use of the land, according to Marshall. “If the use is not changed within six years of withdrawal, then the rollback tax is not applied.” “In every land owner, there’s a little bit of speculator,’’ Marshall continued, agreeing that a longer rollback period would help to restrain speculation. He noted that Wisconsin’s recently enacted Agricultural District Law allowed for a 20 year rollback. Fraher acknowledged that tax relief for farmers in an ag district meant revenue losses would have to be picked up by the rest of the locality’s populus. Dr. Cate from Madison’s Planning Commission asked if this wasn’t discriminatory. Jacks explained that the constitution allows for different levels of taxation for different property classifications as long as there is a valid, legitimate reason for classifying the land differently in the first place. Dr. Cate insisted that implementation of ag districts could cause serious financial problems for rural county governments. Implementation la Challenge Jacks agreed that problems could arise. “A county has got to apply the law reasonably,” he said. Implementation is local government’s “challenge,” Jacks added. Marshall maintained that the law was “ambiguous” on whether use value taxation was automatic within an ag district. He noted that use value taxation was allowed by the Virginia Constitution as a local option provided a local use value ordinance and land use plan were also adopted. But the law also says that use value taxation will apply in an Agricultural and Forestal District, according to Marshall. In a county without a land use plan and local use value taxation ordinance, Marshall maintained that it was not clear whether use value taxation would apply in ag districts. Tigers In Combat Subdivision and zoning regulations on development would apply in agricultural districts, according to Marshall. “Large lot zoning and agricultural land are tigers in combat and agricultural land will lose..You can’t farm much on 25 or 10 acres.” Marshall maintained, and Jacks agreed, that a separate resolution could be included in each ag district approval that would disallow large lot development within the district. “I don’t see why a zoning ordinance couldn’t prevent development within an Ag District,” commented Jacks. Marshall noted that the Agricultural District Law passed in Wisconsin allowed only residentail development for members of the farm owner’s family and employees; “If the zoning ordinance already has a large lot provision, it will not be affected by an agricultural district and the provision will apply within the district unless the ordinance is amended to exclude large lots,’’ Jacks told Orange Supervisor Dixie Colvin. “The basic ordinance that controls county land use is the zoning ordinance. An agricultural district can be superimposed...but if there was a question on what would predominate in regard to what uses are permitted, the zoning ordinance would take precedence.” He added that a use not compatible with ag district rquirements would void a land owner’s use value tax status. Marshall emphasized that road maintenance would be considered farm related and would be continued in an ag district. Widening of a road that would make land more suitable for subdivision would “come under serious scrutiny,” he said. Copeland told Culpeper Planning Commission Chairman Gen. Andrew Boyle that he doubted that a farmer would join an ag district solely for the tax advantage. Instead, he maintained farmers would go into districts for “zoning...It gives him the privilege to carry on farm enterprise.” Marshall agreed. He predicted farmers would join districts not for the use value tax but as a means of protecting their business investment by trying to restrain development pressures on the land. If ag districts are set up only in rural counties where development pressures are not intense, Jacks doubted if the Agricultural and Forestal District Act would have the intended effect of controlling land speculation. He questioned whether the incentives offered in ag districts were strong enough to counter potential land development profits in counties like Prince William, Loudoun and Fairfax. But, he added that adoption of districts could “be justified anywhere.” Prince William County conservationist Memory Porter asked if land use taxation would be available under an ag district even if the locality did not have a local ordinance providing for the tax break. Land use taxation is governed by two separate laws, according to Jacks. The Ag District Law does not require a comprehensive plan or local land use ordinance before a district is created. The Ag District Law makes provision that use value taxation shall apply within a district, noted Marshall. He questioned whether it wouldn’t also have to apply outside the district. “The constitution says that a single class of subjects must be taxed uniformly,” said Marshall. He maintained that a locality may be guilty of discrimination if it taxed some farm land at use value and other similarly classed farm land at fair market value. “Where does the answer come from?” asked Ms. Porter. “The courts,” replied Jacks. He added that the Attorney General had been asked for but had not released an opinion. He attributed the delay in part to a difference of opinion on the issue within the Attorney General’s office. Marshall answered an Orange farmer that the county Supervisors could exclude forest land from Agricultural and Forestal Districts just as they had from a county-wide land use taxation ordinance. He noted that a question existed in regard to horticultural land. Horticulture is listed in types of land eligible for land use taxation but not mentioned in the Agricultural and Forestal District Law, according to Marshall “There is a question if land use could be applied on horticultural land in an agricultural and forestal district,” he said. Copeland disagreed on the basis of the Agricultural and Forestal District Law’s inclusion of fruits, apples and peaches as crops. “No law is completely clear, especially one as innovative as this one,” commented Jacks. He described the Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act as “definitely one of the better written laws” despite its ambiguities. In the coming session of the General Assembly, Jacks said the means by which roll back taxes are imposed under the Ag District law may be changed. Legislators are considering applying the roll back provision as soon as land is rezoned instead of waiting until the use actually changes, according to Jacks. He added that he didn’t expect too many amendments to the Ag District Act until it is widely implemented and localities get down to the “nuts and bolts issues. Right now, we’re talking about theory.” Copeland added that constitutional conflicts may require the law to be modified, noting that it was the legislation’s intent to make a district eligible for land use taxation. Jacks again stressed that the constitution requires all land within the same classification to be taxed uniformly. But he added that the definition of classification hadn’t been decided. There are two state ordinances that apply to land use tax, with implementation of both subject to the same constitutional provisions, according to Jacks. “There’s no clear answer on whether we’re doing that,” he stated. “It’s like walking through a minefield,” commented Jacks.

Hill, commissioner, Division of Motor Vehicles. "We encourage people to keep their plates if they are in good condition,’’ Hill said, "but worn, faded or damaged plates may be replaced at no charge beyond the regular renewal fees.” Although there is no requirement that old plates be turned in to DMV, Hill said that those which are will be recycled. Hill emphasized that retention of plates in good condition saves taxpayer money. “When we implemented the decal system in October 1972, it was primarily to save money, and we have. Four decals cost five cents to produce, compared to 70 cents to manufacture two license plates. Since there are 3.6 million registered vehicles in Virginia, this means considerable savings.’’ “Even greater savings are realized in postage for some 750,000 people who renew their vehicle registrations by mail each year,” Hill said. "It costs 74 cents to mail a set of license plates, and 13 cents to mail the decals. The postage savings alone amount to nearly half a million dollars,” he added. In addition to these savings, we are helping to conserve both metal used for the plates and energy used in manufacturing them,” Hill said. “We also find that most people like keeping the same license number from year to year.” ++++ A person is about as big as the things that make him angry.

CRIME It is time for our lawmakers and the courts to take the side of the law-abiding citizen and not that of the criminal. I favor laws imposing longer sentences, and greater restrictions on suspension of sentences and probation and parole for persons convicted of serious, violent crimes and drug pushers. In the past, bills along this line have been defeated in the House Courts of Justice Committee, now composed exclusively of lawyers. I believe this committee should also have non-lawyers among its members. Municipal police ought to share in the same State funding formula as Sheriffs' offices. There should be educational and training requirements for these officers as there is for Sheriffs. EDUCATION I am especially conscious of the importance of education and I have made my children aware of this. I have five children, three of whom have completed or are attending college and my youngest son is a high school student. Years of my life have been spent working with the public schools in our area to provide a better education for our children. As a legislator, I will have a greater opportunity to continue my efforts for quality education. TAXES Government expenses must not be increased without offsetting tangible benefits to taxpayers and consumers. ENERGY To assure that all users of electricity in our area get it at the lowest possible cost, I shall propose to the General Assembly that a permanent, legislative committee or subcommittee be established to continually study, review and recommend legislation and other means to see that the State Corporation Commission does the most efficient job possible in regulating utilities so as to provide the public with the lowest possible electrical costs. Members of the State Corporation Commission should be elected in fact by all members of the Legislature—Democrats, Republicans and Independents—and not just elected by the Democratic caucus. Quality and not political party affiliation or quantity is important. I am doubtful about suggestions to increase the number of State Corporation Commissioners. It is estimated that adding two members to the State Corporation Commission will cost over a million dollars a year. Because the operations of the State Corporation Commission are financed by assessments upon the utilities, this million dollars each year would be passed on to the consumers. Increased administrative costs can be justified only by proving a clear case of causing lowering of electric bills.
