Rappahannock News, October 13, 1977

RICHMOND 19, VA. 23219 THE LIVING ROOM AT THE OLD FOGG FARM, now known as High Meadow and owned by Adm. and Mrs. Josef Gardiner bids house tour visitors a warm welcome for the weekend of October 15 and 16. This home is one of three open for the annual house tour and dried flower sale held annually by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish in Rappahannock. Tour tickets and flower arrangements will be sold at the Trinity Parish Hall in Washington, or tickets may be purchased at any of the homes. Rappahannock House Tour and Flower Sale This Weekend Two 18th Century homes and a modular modern house will be included in the homes open to the public for the 21st annual house tour and dried flower arrangement sale sponsored by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish. The tour is this weekend, Saturday, October 15 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, October 16 from 1 to 5 p.m. Tickets will be sold at the church parish hall in Washington where the flower salesroom is also located. Block tickets for the tour are $5. Tea will be served each day at Breezy Knoll, home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Burke Hertz near Flint Hill, on Route 647. Other homes opened for the tour are the Old Fogg Farm, now owned by Adm. and Mrs. Josef Gardiner and presently known as High Meadow. This is located on Route 647, also; and Oak Shade, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Leibold west of Amissville on Route 643. The Amiss family for whom the village is named built Oak Shade and a descendent of the Amiss family, Mrs. Frank Walter, owned it until 1970. At that time Peter Kramer bought the house and added the west wing. The Leibolds purchased the property in 1973 and have completed the restoration and have furnished it with early American pieces: The old stone house at the Fogg Farm was constructed about 1760. It was originally a one-room, three-story house with a cellar kitchen, living room on the ground floor and the bedroom on the third. The house was remodeled in 1939 with mantels, doors and trim secured from old buildings razed during the inception of Skyline Drive. These blend with the original architecture and the GardinerV have furnished the house tastefully with 18th and 19th Century pieces. In vivid contrast is Breezy Knoll, a modem house of modular construction. Attractively and comfortably furnished to accommodate today’s busy living schedules. Built in 1976, the house is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge and a panoramic view is enjoyed from here. Box lunches will be sold in Washington by the ladies of the First Baptist Church and in the evening a turkey dinner will be served in Flint —Rappahannock New* Photo/Sarah Latham ARRANGEMENTS OF DRIED FLOWERS which will be sold in conjunction with the annual house tour and flower sale stand row on row in the Episcopal parish hall awaiting the weekend visitors.

The interesting homes to be toured coupled with the beauty of the fall foliage, the bake sales, bazaars, fruit stands and excellent food available will provide a full day for those who attend. We Get More Than We Send To, From Richmond Rappahannock County, including the Town of Washington, sends less money to Richmond than it receives back from the State. Information obtained by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission from the Revenue Resources and Economic Commission indicates that Rappahannock County exports or sends to Richmond S544.284 in the form of various taxes and fees. In return the County receives $744,316, or a difference of $200,032 in the form of various allocations. These monies coming from Richmond above what the county sends amount to approximately $36.00 per capita. However, the State has determined it needs roughly $45.00 per capita from the County to provide its services. Within the 9th Planning District, Culpeper, Fauquier and Orange Counties all sent more money to Richmond than they received in return, while Madison and Rappahannock Counties received more from Richmond than they sent out. Overall the five-county area sent out $1,658,688 more than it received. Supervisors “Choose” Program By daphne McCullough Rappahannock News Staff Writer The Rappahannock Supervisors were faced with another potentially expensive state mandate at last Thursday’s Board meeting, but had no option other than to approve participation in a state and federally required unemployment compensation program effective January 1, 1978. Clerk Diane Bruce explained to the Supervisors that their Only choice lay in deciding whether to classify the county as a reimbursable or contributing employer. As a contributing employer, the county would pay a monthly fee on a quarterly basis to cover unemployment claims, according to Ms. Bruce. Under the reimbursable option, she said that no monthly payments would be assessed. Instead, the county would repay the state “dollar for dollar” for all claims. “How does this apply to us?” asked Supervisor H. B. Wood. “That was my question,” commented Chairman E. P. Luke, adding that he didn’t know which county employees would be covered under manadatory unemployment compensation. Ms. Bruce said she thought school employees and not county constitutional officers were covered. She noted that ‘he county had 30 days to decide which category it wanted and return the required forms to state offices or else be placed automatically in the contributing employer category. As a contributing employer, the county would be Highway Deaths Increase After four consecutive years of a steadily declining death toll on Virginia’s highways, the number of traffic fatalities has suddenly began to increase according to the Virginia State Police. Preliminary third quarter statistics for 1977 indicate that 817 persons died in motor vehicle accidents from January 1 through September 30, 1977, compared with 785 for the same period last year. In releasing the information, the State Police noted that the sudden increase was due to an unusually high number of highway fatalities, 122, during the month of September. As of the end of August, Virginia’s traffic death count was four less than a year ago. The September 1977 figure was the third highest number of highway deaths ever recorded for the month. Only in 1970 and 1973 had higher September figures been tallied, 130 and 128, respectively. In contrast, the State Police reported that pedestrian deaths continued to show a downward trend, 119 through the third quarter of 1977 compared to 131 for the same period last year. responsible for quarterly payments of one per cent of the first $6,000 of each employee’s salary. Luke criticized the inclusion of school employees under coverage on the grounds that the Supervisors would have to "cough up money” when they had no control over the hiring of school personnel and "no say so in the decision making process.” “There are decisions made all the time without our having any say so,” interjected Wood. Federal Requirement Ms. Bruce informed the Board that the mandate on localities to have unemployment compensation came from the Federal government relayed through the state legislature. She added that a suit had been brought challenging the constitutionality of the requirement but that no ruling had been issued. “Let’s join the suit,” suggested Supervisor Wood, apparently only half in jest. Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis said his concern with the required unemployment compensation was whether it covered school teachers. The Board voted to put the county into the noncontributory, reimbursable category with Luke to investigate further into which county employees were covered. School Employees Covered Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Bloomer said later that he understood mandated unemployment compensation coverage included all school employees under contract. According to Bloomer, teachers with ten month contracts are ineligible for summer (Continued on Page 5) Vacancies Filled Principal, Assistant Hired By Board The Rappahannock School Board voted late last night to accept the recommendation of Superintendent Dr. William Bloomer and hired Graham Spencer as principal of the elementary school and Charlotte Lambeth as assistant principal. Spencer was hired several months ago as assistant principal for the elementary school. However, principal Buddy Carter resigned unexpectedly in August and since the beginning of school, Spencer has been acting principal and has covered both elementary administrative positions with help from the central office. Coincidently, Charlotte Lambeth’s employment as assistant principal should go a long way in quieting charges of racially discriminatory hiring practices levelled against the Rappahannock School Board by the Seventh District Black Caucus. Miss Lambeth is a black graduate student working towards her doctoral degree in administration and supervisory education at the University of Virginia. Concerned parents and teachers attended Tuesday’s meeting to voice their concerns over the delay in filling the elementary vacancy. The five minutes set aside at the beginning of the meeting for public presentations dragged into an hour before Board Chairman Beverly Massie called a halt to the debate. Spencer Praised “Mr. Spencer is a highly talented and extremely competent administrator,” stated Mollie Hobson, Title 1 math lab teacher. However, she added, Spencer can’t find enough minutes in the day to take care of all the duties previously performed by two full-time administrators. “Given the demanding conditions, the best he can do is order priorities and hope for the best.” Education and discipline have suffered as a result of the administration being spread “extremely too thin,” contended Mrs. Hobson^ She also noted that the school system may lose state funds if the vacancy isn’t filled and if the system continues to fall Water Situation in Washington Critical There is a crisis in the Washington Water System operation. All town residents are requested to conserve water and curtail any and all excess usage. Consumption has been up and the reservoir is becoming increasingly low. The shortage is greater now than it was in the dry summer period, according to Mayor Newbill Miller. There is also suspected leaking in the lines. If you notice a wet spot along the routes of the water lines or see any seepage, it is imperative that this be reported to Engineer Charlie Jenkins, a member of the council or the mayor. The cooperation of the town residents is absolutely necessary and most appreciated by the authorities. down on the Standards of Quality mandate for pupiladministrator ratio while funding below the minimum per pupil level established by the state. She recommended that Spencer be hired as principal of the elementary school since he had “learned the ropes” during his six weeks of double duty and she advised the Board to hire someone else as assistant principal, as soon as possible. Donald Bomberger, president of the Rappahannock Education Association, supported Mrs. Hobson’s suggestions with a resolution from his organization. On behalf of REA, he asked the Board for “definitive action tonight,” and maintained that student safety and state funds for education were both jeopardized by delay. Hard To Find Replacement Mrs. Massie told the audience that the Board had been interviewing applicants for the position of principal. "It is indeed difficult at this time of year to get a qualified replacement” for principal Buddy Carter who resigned unexpectedly in August, she said. The School Board has “not taken the job lightly” and thought it in the “best interests to interview all applicants,” taking care not to pirate an administrator from another system, Mrs. Massie continued. She added that it would have been “more detrimental to the system it we just took off and hired the first person who came down the road...without checking qualifications...and exploring ramifications.” Rev. Ronald Wiley, president of Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education, commented that the School Board member’s decision to interview all applicants for the principal’s job themselves was “truly unusual.” Mrs. Massie responded that it was the new policy of the Rappahannock School Board to have Board members personally interview all applicants for administrative positions. Wiley repeated that the practice was unusual and time consuming, particularly when the Board had a qualified Superintendent for the task of screening applicants and bringing recommendations for hiring (Continued on Page 6) ERA Meeting Planned Persons interested in working for passage of the Equal Rights Amendment by the Virginia State Legislature are invited to attend a planning session on Tuesday, October 18 at 8:00 p.m. at the home of Mary Beth Martin, Fodderstack Rd., Flint Hill.

McCULJXrtJGH \ Rappahjumock New* Staff Writer \ Judging from the turn out a\ last Tuesday’s Energy Workshop sponsored by the VII Extension office, th£r4 arm’t, (too many 'RappaAanHcfck' cifi%eao* *C6ncenfed-jvith cutting energy costs. Approximately twenty people heard Robert Naismith from the Joint Engineering Energy Committee of Northern Virginia give pointers on how to lower home energy consumption by as much as 20 per cent, “a realistic goal.” “I honestly believe there really is an energy problem and conservation is the way we have to handle it,” said Naismith. “Everyone has to get involved.” Most people attending the series of energy workshops being held throughout the state do so “because they’re hurting,” Naismith said. “Energy costs a lot of money...It’s going to get worse. All energy prices are going to go up. There’s no way out. The only way to protect yourself is to quit wasting energy.” He maintained that last winter’s shortages were “just the tip of the iceberg.” He added that conservation was necessary for more reasons than just saving money. “There’s not going to be enough to go around,” he predicted. Naismith broke down home energy use into the following categories: 53 per cent for heat, 12 per cent for hot water, 8 per cent for air conditioning, 7 per cent for refrigerator, 5 per cent for lighting, 5 per cent for other electrical appliances, 4 per cent for cooking, 1 per cent for clothes dryer and 5 per cent miscellaneous. Home Heat Loss Heat is lost from the home r |»y heat flow from hot to cold ftiat occurs through floors, vulls and ceilings and by iflfiltration, according to Nlismith. Infiltration, “a jjfaicy word for drafts,” can ,J|Mkie greatest energy loss in a home and “can be rectified easily and cheaply,” he said. Windows account for 39 per cent of heat loss, conduction through walls and ceilings for 28 per cent and drafts for 34 per cent, Naismith continued. He suggested that caulking and weather stripping be tried first to correct drafts since this solution “costs a heck of a lot less than storm windows.” He advised use of a rubber based rather than oil based caulking material. While oil caulks are cheaper, they only last two to four years before cracking, according to Naismith. Rubber caulks cost a little more, he noted, but they have a life expectancy of six to 20 years. Naismith suggested that homeowners check for gaps between where the basement stops and woodwork begins. If the crack is large, first fill it with fiber glass strips and then caulking, he said. “Tremendous heat loss” also can occur if window glazing is cracked, noted Naismith. He cautioned homeowners to be careful in removing old glazing and to keep it away from pets since it probably contained lead. Weather stripping is another do-it-yourself cost saver, said Naismith. He suggested putting a door sweep at the bottom of doors with vinyl, foam or felt used for the other three sides. "The trick to weather stripping is to have it stick out so it makes a good seal,” said Naismith, adding that Itappaliamuick :&uii?

Large aluminum sliding windows and window air conditioning units are difficult to weatherstrip, noted Naismith. He advised using foam in the window track and removing window units during colder months. Insulation R Values Naismith explained that insulation is rated on the basis of R value or resistance to heat loss. R values are listed on insulation and the higher the number, the better the insulation levels are: —Ceilings, R26-30 (approximately nine inches) —Walls, R13 (approximately three and a half inches) —Supply and return air ducts, R8-13 (three to four inches) —Floors over unheated areas, Rll-13 (three and a half to four inches) Naismith suggested nine inches of insulation for attics, adding that at least six inches were needed to achieve any benefit. He noted that in cases where walls were already insulated, but below recommended R levels, it was usually not cost effective to add more. Insulation comes unbacked or with a vapor barrier and Naismith told the audience that it’s best to add unbacked insulation where there’s already some up. He noted that the vapor barrier should always be placed against the warm side of the structure to prevent either the insulation getting wet and losing its effectiveness or causing structural damage. He said that fiber glass is generally the most cost effective material to use although blown-in cellulose (ground up newspaper treated with chemicals) is the “up and coming material.” According to Naismith, ten per cent of the costs of heating a house can be lost through space between the chimney and framing and suggested filling the gap with fiberglass. He said an additional 40 cents out of every dollar spent on heat is lost if ducts are not insulated and advised wrapping fiber glass around ducts and taping it in place. Plastic Effective Plastic put in place over windows, inside or out, and installation of storm windows “are about the same, from an 81st Birthday Celebrated J.

Naismith reported on a study done by ('the National Bureau of Standards that concluded any window larger than three feet by three feet should have storm windows installed. "If the storm window doesn’t fit well, you’re wasting your money,” he commented. Naismith also advised keeping screens up during winter to cut down on energy loss. "The most important process in putting up storm windows is measuring,” he continued. He suggested caulking on top, on both sides and half way across the bottom as an additional step that could be taken to improve the effectiveness of storm windows. Turn Down Hot Water Heaters In regard to hot water heaters, Naismith advised turning the thermostat down ten degrees at a time to reach the “optimal energy-family harmony setting.” A 15 per cent savings in hot water bills can be achieved with each 10 per cent drop in hot water setting. Energy savers mentioned by Naismith that require installation by a professional included night setback devises, heating circulator blowers and flue vents. He emphasized that turning a thermostat down at night or when no one is at home does save on heating bills. Fireplaces are “romantic and relaxing but they don’t provide much energy for the wood you burn,” said Naismith. Tight, well fitting dampers and glass doors will both cut down on energy loss in a room with a fireplace. Wood stoves have greater efficiency if the amount of air going through can be limited, he noted. He advised cost-conscious energy conservationists not to think about “going solar” for two or three years since the federal government was spending millions of dollars on solar energy research. He. predicted that the research ’would result in improvements in both hardware and installation techniques.

Supervisors Try New Trash Tactic By DAPHNE McCULLOI GH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer , The Rappahannock Supervisors opened another front in their continuing battle with the county’s trash problem at last Thursday’s Board meeting and decided to ban trespassing WITHIN the dumpsters. Commonwealth Attorney George Davis maintained that people looking for salvage materials threw trash out of the containers and were responsible for much of the mess around the dumpster sites. Supervisor Edwin Eastham reported that he’d found people inside the Huntly dumpsters recently. “The reason I know they were in there is because I threw some trash in on somebody and they threw it right back out at me.” He said he tried a second container only to find it also occupied. Davis suggested that the Board make it illegal to take materials out of the dumpsters. The Supervisors agreed to have signs stenciled on the containers stating that trespassing was not allowed inside. Sheriff W. A. Buntin said that the action would help his department control litter at the sites although he added that he’d rarely caught foragers inside the containers but instead found them poking around outside. Gen. Hugh Exton informed the Supervisors that there has been trash on the ground at the Amissville dumpster location for months. “Either the contractor is not doing his job or he’s charging you for a job that he hasn’t done,” said Exton, referring to the county’s agreement with Community Trash Service. (Under the current contract, Community Trash is supposed to clean up trash on the ground at the dumpster sites for additional charges of $5 per cubic yard. These charges are assessed over and above the set contract fee and generally run between $300 and $500 per month. Cost for picking up trash during September was $285 for 57 cubic yards.) Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke told Exton that he and Supervisor H. B. Wood had monitored the Scrabble dumpster site and found that the trash company had adequately cleaned up the area. He noted that Community Trash had used shovels for pick-up in the past and had recently bought a mechanized scooper for the job. The problem, according to Luke, is that no one has defined Community Trash’s area of responsibility for clean up around the dumpsters. He added that different sites are policed in rotation every week. “This particular trash has been there for two months,” Exton responded. Checking the records, Wood noted that 17 cubic yards were supposed to have been picked up at Amissville in September. “Amissville is a particularly difficult area to use a scooper in,” interjected Supervisor J. R. Latham. On the subject of trash disposal in general, Luke said that the county was running out of places to put dumpsters. “We might have to go to using state road property. If the site happens to be near somebody’s driveway—tough. We don’t want to do it...but there’s a limit on how far we can go...Our only alternative will be to discontinue service.” Colonial Lights.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13,1977 Timely Action The Rappahannock Supervisors probably weren’t aware of the timeliness of action taken at last Thursday’s Board meeting but their decision to install fire extinguishers at the courthouse coincides with national Fire Prevention Week (October 9 through 15). At the September Board meeting, a lighting fixture in the courtroom caught fire but, luckily, produced smoke instead of flames until the power was cut off. In view of the accident, Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke suggested on Thursday that the Board install fire extinguishers in the building. “I don’t think there’s one here,” he commented. Luke added that he’d also asked electrician Everett Estes to check wiring in the courthouse. The upstair’s “fire trap” was brought to the attention of the Board several years ago with no results, according to Aubrey Keyser. He suggested that the Supervisors ask the state fire marshall to inspect the building and make recommendations. Keyser maintained that escape from the courtroom would be impossible if fire broke out in either of the bathrooms at the bottom of the stairs. Hie Supervisors agreed to request fire marshall inspection and authorized the purchase of fire extinguishers. With their action, they unknowingly followed the advice of Fire Departments in Rappahannock and throughout the country: —Remove Hazards —Make Excape Plans —Be Prepared Counties Being “Shortchanged” The Rappahannock Supervisors expect the county to receive approximately $22,000 from the federal government in lieu of taxes on national park land. However, due to terms in the “in lieu law, Rappahannock may receive only $6,000. According to a release from Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson, the federal government “is short changing Virginia counties in payments in lieu of taxes on national park lands.’’ What is involved, according to Robinson, is a law passed by Congress last year which includes a formula for annual payments of up to 75 cents per acre to local jurisdictions on certain federal lands on which no local property taxes are paid, principally in national parks and national forests. The law states that these payments are not to be made on lands which were not on the tax rolls when the Federal Government acquired them, such as acreage to which the state or a local government held title. This has created a problem in regard to substantial acreage within Shenandoah National Park, Robinson explained, because the Commonwealth of Virginia acquired the land from private holders at the time the park was being established, and then turned it over to the Federal Government. "I am confident that the limitation in the law voted last year was not intended to deny payments in lieu of taxes in such a situation, as these lands were not acquired for state purposes, and the state, by agreement with the Federal Government, merely' was acting as a conduit of convenience whereby title to the acreage flowed to the Federal Government for inclusion in the National Park System,” he said. The Department of the Interior, however, is making initial payments under the new law only on the basis of acreage which was trans ferred directly from private owners to federal hands. As a result, Rappahannock County, with 31,700 acres of national park land within its borders, so far has been granted payment on 9,070 acres. “I am studying the legal history of federal acquisition of these lands after the state had assembled them by purchase from the private owners, largely by condemnation, in the hope that a basis can be laid for a change in the Department of the Interior ruling that the acreage is not eligible for inclusion in the lands on which payments are being made to counties,” Robinson said in a statement from his Congressional office. In addition, the 7th District Representative said he had introduced in the House a bill to amend the federal law on the matter, "in case this proves the only means of correcting injustice.” Our Rappahannock Heritage CAMPAIGN ’77 Assemblymen Urge Dalton To Shun IVRG Campaign By JIM POPE Arundel Newspapers Writer Thirty-two members of the General Assembly this week began a move to pressure Republican governor candidate John N. Dalton to disassociate himself from an independent group that is raising money for antiHenry Howell advertising. POPE That group, known as the Independent Virginians for Responsible Government, (IVRG) announced its fundraising efforts last week with a direct mail campaign. The group has acknowledged that some of its statements contained in its campaign letters are not entirely accurate. Hie legislators, who are all Democrats, urged Dalton in an open statement released this week to press the IVRG “to stop misrepresenting and distorting Mr. ' Howell’s positions on the issues. “Henry Howell does not favor the busing of Virginia school children into Washington, D. C., as the letter claims,’’ the legislators said in their joint statement. They also state that Howell is not: —advocating strict new gun control laws —advocating “budgetbusting” deficit spending —a threat to Virginia’s right-to-work law. Among those signing the statement were Sen. Charles L. Waddell, Sen. Joseph V. Gartlan, Sen. Omer L. Hirst, Sen. Give Duval and Del. Floyd Bagley. Howell also took the time at a political rally last week to explain his position on gun control. He said he had supported a bill in 1964 but that did no more than delay delivery of a pistol for a three-day “cooling off’ period to insure guns were not sold to convicted felons and habitual drunks. That bill failed, Howell said. At the same time, Howell said, he supported a resolution by Del. William Pennington of Buckingham County that reaffirmed the right of every Virginian to keep and bear arms. . Former Lt. Gov. Fred Pollard resigned as chairman of the State Compensation Board recently to support Dalton for governor. Pollard said in his letter of resignation to Gov. Mills Godwin that he was resigning to avoid any conflict in his political and public activities. Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor Charles S. Robb said Wednesday that new jobs in all parts of Virginia are essential to the future of all regions of the state. “We have to remember that economic development—and that means jobs for all Virginians—must be balanced between the growing urban corridor and the rest of the state,” Robb said. “We need to achieve a balance between urban and rural population patterns. It would be tragic if a lack of jobs turned our countryside into a wasteland as people were forced off the land and away from our towns and medium-sized cities.” The major role of the next lieutenant governor, Robb 'said, would be in the area of economic development. "The Lieutenant Governor has the freedom to work closely with local officials and the prestige to negotiate directly with corporate leaders,” Robb said. Joe Canada, Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, told a group of city employees in Bristol that striking policemen and firemen should be fired. “My top concern is the safety of the people of Virginia. People who are in the fire or police departments should know that if they betray the public trust for greed they will be fired—pure and simple,” he said. Edward E. Lane, Democratic candidate for Attorney General, pledged that if he is elected he would work to make Virginia one of the first states in the nation to initiate a “Crime Watch” program. The program would include the following: —a home burglary protection effort. —Operation Identification to mark valuable personal property. —a commercial and personal security campaign. —a theft and fraud protection program. —and rural crime prevention. “I am convinced that only through increased citizen awareness of the developing crime problem and the means available to prevent it, can we expect to achieve significant results. Only then will we be able to educate individuals and involve citizen groups in crime prevention,” Lane said. Insects,. Not Drought, Damage Locusts ByLYTWOOD County Fonder Unusually high popfiliations of the locust leafminer have caused some concern this year. This is the insect that causes the apparent browning of leaves and diseased look of black locust trees. Adult leafminer beetles hibernate in bark crevices and litter on the forest floor. They become active in early spring, feeding on a variety of tree species. Eggs are laid on the undersides of locust leaves. After hatching, the young larvae eat into the leaves, forming a “mine” within each leaf. After feeding for several weeks, the larvae pupate within their mines, and emerge as adult beetles (usually sometime in July). These adults mate and lay eggs to begin a second yearly generation. The adult beetles eat irregular holes in leaves and may cause loss of foliage on their host trees. Most of the apparent damage, however, is caused by the larvae within the leaves. The locust leafminer is a native insect species, and is a natural part of the forest ecology. A natural predator or parasite will never severely deplete the population of its host species. To do so would destroy its own food supply. Several successive attacks to locust trees may be fatal, but the trees can usually withstand these attacks and deaths are not common. The damage is mainly aesthetic and no control is recommended. Church Celebration Macedonia Baptist Church will be celebrating its 6th anniversary with its pastor, the Rev. James A. Price, on Sunday, Oct. 16. The Rev. James Little will deliver the morning message and the Rev. A. A. Booker will speak in the afternoon. All are invited to attend.

Cub Den 1 Meeting Cub Scout Den 1 of Pack 123 met Thursday, October 6, 1977 after school. First we saluted the flag. Then we took up dues. We talked about fire prevention and about rescuing drowning people. Then we elected Tom Heffern for the news writer. Then we talked about a pack skit. Our den mothers are Mrs. Donna Fisher and Mrs. Diane Heffern. Our den chief is Mike Fisher. Cub members of Den 1 are: Chip Russell, Jonathan Watson, Richie Adams, Tommy Gaines, Leslie Terry, Tommy Jenkins, Lewis Fisher, David Beck and Tom Heffern. Den Two of Cub Scout Pack 123 visited the Hall of Valour at the New Market Battlefield last Saturday morning. After learning that young VMI cadets had taken an important part in the battle, the cubs reenacted the cadet’s role and charged up the elope to “capture” the Yankee battery at the top. FIRE WOMEN ATTENDED THE ANNUAL SCHOOL held the past two weekends at Amissville fire company grounds along with the firemen. Violet Scott of Viewtown receives instruction in the function of a smoke mask prior to entering a smoking building. She dons the contraption, then got an air tank and it was “tally ho.” The Little Fox —Rappahannock Newt Photo/Sarah Latham THE EXTENSION TOWER from Fairfax County was used during the state fire school held in Amissville to accustom firemen to heights in fire fighting.

Supervisors “Choose” Program (Continued from Page 1) unemployment compensation if they have signed contracts for the coming year. Delegate French Slaughter also said he thought coverage included teachers but added that he remembered very little discussion when House Bill 1929 was considered by the General Assembly during the last session. He attributed this to the federal mandate for unemployment compensation handed down to the states. “We had no discretion” and had to act to mandate unemployment compensation without regard to financial impact on localities,” according to Delegate Slaughter. Enrollment Sets Record Lord Fairfax Community College begins its eighth academic year with record enrollment. More than 1800 students, approximately thirty per cent increase over last year, signed up for classes this fall, according to C. Todd Smith, registrar. College administrators attributed the increase to a mailout sent to over 45,000 citizens of the community served by the college informing them of course offerings, improved newspaper and radio coverage of available courses, and to a greater variety of subjects taught than in the past. The two-year college, designed to serve the community by providing continuing education for anyone 18 and over, including associate degree and certificate programs, presently has an average student age of 26. Operating on a quarter system, the fall session began last week. Gasses will end before Christmas. Robb To Campaign In County Charles “Chuck” Robb, Democratic candidate for Lt* Governor, and John J. “Butch” Davies, Democratic candidate for the General Assembly will make five stops in Rappahannock County Monday as they campaign in the 25th District. Traveling in the Davies mobile headquarters, Davies and Robb will start their day at 4:55 a.m. greeting commuter buses at Lake of the Woods in Orange County. The candidates expect to reach the Comer Store in Sperryville at 11:15 a.m., moving on to Hampton Inn at 11:40. By 11:50 Davies and Robb should be in Washington, with stops planned at Washington Cash and the Gulf Station. Hackley’s Store in Amissville will be the last stop in Rappahannock at 12:20 p.m. Citizens interested in meeting the candidates and discussing issues are invited to visit the stores indicated. Theme for the tour will be “The Country Store—The Heart of the Country.” .... HK" ■ his Department had received three radios on a different frequency for in-county contact, paid for with special federal funds. The new state police frequency radios would be used to make radio contact outside the county, he said. “Can we get by with two state police radios?” asked Luke. “We’ll have to,” answered Buntin, “if the Supervisors don’t approve the additional appropriation.” “Try to live with two,” Luke suggested. “If we find out that we can’t, then we’ll realize that we have to get another one.” Emergency Treatment Payment In a second insurance related matter, the Supervisors authorized payment of an emergency room bill for Deputy Ronnie Hawkins. At the same time, Col. Luke stressed that this did not establish a precedent and “put everybody on notice that the county won’t foot any more bills.” According to a request for payment of $50 submitted with the monthly accounts, Hawkins sustained an injury to his knee while on duty at the Amissville Firemen’s carnival. Emergency room treatment included x-rays and examination by a doctor. “Very Poor Policy” Neither emergency room treatment nor outpatient care is paid by the “very poor policy” available to county employees through a Blue Cross-Blue Shield group plan, according to clerk Diane Bruce. She noted that premiums on the limited policy are entirely the responsibility of individual subscribers with no portion paid by the county as employer. (Rappahannock government employees also are noteligible for workmen’s compensation.) Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis advised the Supervisors that they were not obligated to pay Hawkins’s bill but could do so legally if they chose to. “I think we’re going to have to make a ruling on whether we’re going to pay (this type of bill) or not,” Higher Liability Premium* In another matter related to insurance, Sheriff W. A. Buntin reported that his department’s liability premiums had more than doubled with a jump from $75 per person in 1976 to $188 for the coming 12 months. Last year, Buntin continued, the State Compensation Board approved two-thirds reimbursement to the localities for high risk liability insurance premiums. He told the Supervisors that he had contacted Compensation Board Executive Secretary John Rasnick and had been informed that Rasnick didn’t know what type of reimbursement policy the Board would approve this year in light of the premium increase. Supervisor H. B. Wood asked when Rappahannock County had begun liability coverage for the Sheriffs Department. “In September, 1976,” Buntin replied, adding that ■ 1 ---HV "it’s gotten so now that it’s pretty dangerous to operate without any insurance.” He said that renewal of the current liability policy would cost $872.50 with the state paying $576.66, according to last year’s scale. Buntin said he’d found another insurance company that would provide cheaper liability coverage of $100,000 and $300,000 for $709 in premiums. The Supervisors authorized Chairman E. P. Luke to work with Buntin on getting the best insurance deal on $100,000 and $300,000 coverage. Radio* Requested Buntin also asked the Supervisors for $981 to purchase a new state police frequency radio. He said he’d received advance permission to operate three radios on state police frequency when the department’s current radios become obsolete in mid 1978 but had only been able to obtain funding to cover costs of two and part of a third at $1,351 a piece. “That will leave us one car short of a radio,’’ said Buntin, unless the Supervisors appropriate the additional $981. He added that he’d gone ahead and ordered two sets since it sometimes took a year for an order to be filled. Chairman Luke noted that the Board would be receiving additional funds in lieu of taxes on national park land under a new federal program. He said he expected the county to get approximately $22,000 and noted that the money came with no strings attached and could be used for anything. (See separate story) We ve received one cneck already for $6,000,” said Luke. . He added that Planning District Commission Executive Director John Capelle was checking to see exactly how much money Rappahannock would get. Luke suggested that the Supervisors decide soon on how to spend the funds —whether for a landfill, for dumps or for planning. Supervisor Edwin Eastham asked Buntin if the Sheriffs Department hadn’t installed new radios last year. Buntin acknowledged that ©bituams Taylor George Lee Taylor, 80, of Culpeper died October 6, 1977 at his residence. He was a native of Rappahannock, a retired orchardist and farmer, of Sperryville. He was the son of the late Robert Lee Taylor and Ida Monroe Taylor. Mr. Taylor was a member of Washington Masonic Lodge No. 78 AF & AM for more than fifty years and served in the 2nd Virginia Infantry during World War I. He is survived by his widow, Martha Yates Taylor of Culpeper; a son, John Lee Taylor of Arlington and a brother, Walter E. Taylor of Madison. A graveside service, conducted by the Rev. John Farrar, was held Saturday in Fairview Cemetery, Culpeper. Clore Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements. 3tK XK XK RAPPAHANNO CK HO USE TO UR and Dried Flower Arrangement Sale OCTOBER 15 and 16 Hours: Saturday -11 a.m. to 5p.m. Sunday -1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Block Ticket for 3 houses $5.00 on sale at Flower salesroom located in Trinity Episcopal Church Parish Hall Washington, Va. Tea Will Be Served In One Tour Home 3 21st Annual House Tour and Flower Sale sponsored by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Bromfield Parish suggested Supervisor Garence Baldwin. Wood commented that Hawkins’s bill was only $50 but predicted that the next could be for $5,000 if the county adopted the policy of paying 'for treatment of any injury sustained during work by a county employee. Supervisor Eastham agreed that payment of the $50 bill could set a precedent. Wood said he thought it would have been more suitable to present the bill to the Amissville carnival. “If the carnival stand hadn’t been there, he (Hawkins) wouldn’t have hit it.” “I’ve never known an employer who said ‘if you get hurt while you’re working for me, it’s your tough luck’ ”, interjected Jennings Hobson. The Supervisors authorized payment of the emergency room treatment but emphasized that, in the future, individuals would have to look out for themselves. Luke suggested that county employees investigate other hospitalization policies that offer expanded coverage. In other action, the Supervisors acted on a suggestion by H. B. Wood and reaffirmed a resolution , passed last year that limited School Board membership to one representative from each of the county’s five magisterial districts. The previous resolution was not recorded in the Board’s official minutes and in view of the “controversy” over recent action to drop the atlarge seat held by E. N. Montague upon .his retirement, Wood asked that the resolution be passed again. The Supervisors also authorized Commonwealth’s Attorney Davis to engage attorney Sharon Genebach to assist in upcoming litigation against the Board of Supervisors and Board of Zoning Appeals and in revision of the zoning ordinance, subdivision ordinance and comprehensive plan. Miss Genebach will be paid $25 an hour from the county’s general fund.

Board Hires Principal (Continued from Page 1) to the Board. “What’s the reason for the policy?” he asked. Mrs. Massie defended the Board’s decision on the grounds that responsibility for the system rests with the School Board. "Final troubles are left on the School Board’s doorstep and we’re the ones held accountable,” she maintained. School System Suffers Wiley countered that the policy was not followed in any other jurisdictions that he was aware of. “It seems terribly time consuming and it’s hurting our school system” by causing delays in filling the administrative vacancy at the elementary school "We don’t appreciate what’s being done to our school system,” he stated. Bomberger asked if all the applicants for the vacancy had been interviewed and if Dr. Bloomer had made a r recommendation on who to hire. “Yes, on the first question,” replied Bloomer, adding that he had recommended at the last School Board meeting that the Board hire Spencer as principal but that Board member Paul Nichol’s motion had died for lack of a second. “All individuals have been interviewed,” he concluded. Mrs. Massie interjected that interviewing was not completed since all applications had not been received yet. She noted that the time limit had not expired and had been left open because only two of the candidates interviewed had experience in administrative work. “I can sympathize that the Board doesn’t want to be rubber stamping the decision of a new superintendent,” commented Sharon Kilpatrick.

Relmbunement Baaed On Year End Figures State reimbursement to localities for education is based on the final annual report, according to Mrs. Massie. In times past, she continued, Rappahannock County has not met the state’s minimum per pupil funding level when school started but by the end of the year, the county schools had “always met the state funding requirement or exceeded it...If that happens this year, we will not have to return any money to the state.” “It is not the desire of the Board to drag but it is our desire to give the county the best administrator we can...Sometimes, it takes longer than others,” Mrs. Massie maintained. Elementary teacher Susan Henry stated her concern over how the safety of students was being affected by lack of sufficient administrative personnel. She noted that the office was sometimes left unattended. If a fire broke out in her classroom and she sent a student to the office to report, there could conceivably be no one there to set off the alarm, according to Mrs. Henry. Superintendent’s Responsibility Wiley questioned the legality of the School Board’s decision to take over what he maintained was the responsibility of the Superintendent in interviewing all applicants for the vacancy. As far as the Board members are aware, answered Mrs. Massie, the procedure is legal and in accordance with Virginia School Board laws. Assistant Superintendent Ray Hogan, acknowledging that he wasn’t an expert on Virginia school law, asked Dr. Bloomer for his interpretation of the regulations. “That is not appropriate, Mr. Hogan,” Mrs.. Massie said quietly. Bloomer answered that the Superintendent has the responsibility to recommend applicants to the Board for employment while the Board has the authority to. either accept or reject the recommendation and has authority to hire. “You’re assuming full responsibility and assuming more time than is needed,” Wiley told the Board members. Board’s Prerogative Mrs. Massie countered that the Board had prerogative to tell the Superintendent to go back again if his recommendation was not acceptable. She added that the Board felt it needed additional time and additional candidates. “But aren’t you assuming his responsibility?” argued Wiley. “No, we’re not,” replied Mrs. Massie. She reported that attempts had been made to set up appointments with 12 applicants but it had been possible to interview only six. “We interviewed the ones he (Bloomer) had at that time” and asked him to try again to set up interviews with others who had been recommended to the Board. At a special Board meeting on September 22, Mrs. Massie continued, the Board went into executive session after interviewing candidates but took no action to hire because they felt that there might be other qualified applicants available. The policy of the School Board on public presentations is that they be limited to five minutes, according to Mrs. Massie. “It’s now ten of nine and we have a fairly lengthy agenda. We must continue.” The matter of the elementary administrative vacancy was dropped. After covering the published agenda, the Board retired into executive session at approximately 10 p.m. to discuss personnel matters. Two hours later, at almost the stroke of midnight, the School Board came back' into open session and voted unanimously to hire' Spencer as principal and Miss Lambeth as assistant. principal. „ j daphne McCullough ■ By GEORGE BOWLES Democrat State Columnist In some strange but oddly understandable way, Republican candidate for governor John Dalton is becoming more of an appendage to the campaign than a principal in it. As the campaign moves into its final month, it has almost ceased to be a contest BOWLES between Dalton and his Democratic opponent Henry Howell. It has become instead a titanic struggle between those who'want Howell to be governor and those who are thoroughly convinced the universe will fall apart if he does. This is doubly unfortunate. It means that Dalton and the positive aspects of his candidacy will in these final weeks be largely obscured by what has become, by far, the dominant issue: Henry Howell himself. It also means that the voters, instead of choosing between the two men on their merits, will be holding what amounts to a referendum on whether Henry Howell should be governor. Dalton, of course, must bear his share of the blame for events having taken this turn. Both he and his spokesmen, instead of pushing this thoroughly commendable Plan For Tomorrow platform, have spent an inordinate amount of time talking about such emotional, and at best Parents Learn From PET Based on the best-selling book by child psychologist Dr. Thomas Gordon, PET teaches skills parents need for the most important job they will ever have—raising responsible children. Who can benefit from PET? According to instructor Ron Hughes of the Family Guidance and Evaluation Service, the course is for “anyone who wants to be a more effective parent.” “PET is for parents who feel they’re doing a good job and want to do better,” he said. “It’s for those who see Parents can learn to raise s more responsible children, couples can enrich communication with their spouses, and anyone can learn to make stained glass Christmas ornaments in a variety of community service courses at Northern Virginia Community College’s Manassas campus this fall.

The U. S. city average CPI rose 6.6 per cent from August of last year. The food index, which includes food purchased in grocery stores and restaurants, rose 1.8 per cent from May to August, following increases of 3.7 and 2.1 per cent during the three months ended in February and May 1977, respectively.

OPEN EVERY DAY FROM BOTH BARRELS ‘Why Johnny, We Hardly Know Ye!’ questionable, issues as his opponent’s stand on gun control, repeal of the rightto-work law and unionization of public service employees, all of which Howell says he opposes. Any campaign has its negative aspects, and Howell’s against Dalton has been no exception. Witness his monumental blunder some weeks back of floating up several flimsy conflict-ofinterest charges which quite properly, got nowhere. Attacks Personal But the campaign of personal attack against Howell seems to have gotten out of control. Over the past two weeks it has been taken over by an organization called Independent Virginians for Responsible Government. This appears to be a front group for a larger right wing organization, the National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC), which is based in Arlington and which is allegedly tied in with a national fund-raising and direct mail outfit headed by one Richard A. Viguerie of Falls Church.* Viguerie has reportedly made a career—and a considerable fortune—out of his activities on behalf of conservative causes. The Independent Virginians organization mailed out a letter 10 days ago to about 10,000 voters over the signature of 7th District Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson asking for $96,000 to finance an “independent” television blitz against Howell. The TV ads will spread the word 'that Howell is a radical who supports gun control and the rest of the litany of conservative abominations. Dalton’s campaign director William Royall, to Robinson’s vast irritation, has termed the projected media blitz “distressing,” as indeed it is. Meanwhile, the antiHowell aspect of the cam-.. paign has manifested itself iq^ other ways. The Dalton campaign has released a list of 50 former Democratic members of the General Assembly who have endorsed the Republican candidate. Last week former Democratic Gov. William Tuck joined their ranks. There is a special irony here. Those on the list, with Tuck, make up a roster of the survivors of those who, a quarter century ago, fought John’s adoptive father, Ted Dalton, every whit as bitterly as the younger Dalton is now fighting Howell, and for many of the same reasons. Ted Dalton, as a progressive Republican, ran for Governor in 1953 and 1957. Old Conservatives Vs. Howell Why are the State’s conservatives engaged in such a bitter personal vendetta against Howell? One suspects that Howell’s opponents know perfectly well that his views on gun control, right-to-work, public employee unionization and all the rest are, as Howell puts it, phony issues. They are simplistic emotional appeals aimed at the vast unconcerned Virginia electorate for which the right wing political engineers have less than contempt. The real reason probably lies in the fact that Howell, like the elder Dalton, has the temerity to challenge the established order. They both fought massive resistance, urged repeal of the poll tax, and threatened to break up the cozy—although honest—cameraderie between the Commonwealth’s r government and its business and financial interests. For these and other mildly progressive heresies, the survivors of the old order can neither forgive nor forget. Like a grieving widow insisting that her late husband’s room be preserved “as it was,” there are those in the state who would like to see Virginia preserved as it was when Robert E. Lee passed away. It’s too bad the campaign has taken this turn, because John Dalton, no less than Henry Howell, has some fine ideas for constructive change. His efforts to win the governorship would be far better served if his friends' would quiet down a little and give John a chance to re-enter the campaign on his own and tell the people about them.

COUNTR Y JOURNAL By nanc;y seckist Extension Agent It seems everyone you talk to today has a wood stove. For many it is a new experience. Rap Owings, my co-worker, has brought to my attention a well researched pamphlet from VPI on Wood Burning Stoves For Modern Home Heating. It covers how wood burns, describes and illustrates basic wood stove designs, discusses wood stove efficiency and installation and evaluates wood. If you are planning to heat with a wood stove completely or just use one in place of a fireplace, Rap feels this publication is one of the most concise and informative he has seen. Just stop by the office, call or write Us at VPI Extension Service,i P. O. Box 98, Washington, Virginia 22747 to receive this fine publication.

LookOut Gatorade! “Based on energy input per pound of protein, alfalfa juice protein compares extremely well with such conventional sources as eggs, milk and meat,” reported H. D. Bruhn, agricultural engineer at the University of Wisconsin, in the September issue of Agri-News. A by-product of a weather independent harvesting system, alfalfa juice can be processed to form both green and white protein concentrates—with less than one per cent fiber—and fed to cattle directly or further processed for use with other animals and eventually human food. After the green and white proteins are removed, the remaining brown juice is rich in nitrogen and potassium, contains calcium and magnesium and can be used as fertilizer. According to Bruhn, the process also offers possibilities to the canning industry to remove protein from such vegetable wastes as pea vines, carrot tops and potato leaves.

H. Keyset, Chairman Panther Girls Tally Bis Wins Both the JV and Varsity girls basketball teams at the local high school are performing well this season. Team effort is the key, in addition to dogged practice, according to the squad coaches. The JV team is running third in the district with half the season behind them. They have been victorious over William Monroe twice, Madison, Elkton, Strasburg, and Page. In last Thursday’s game with William Monroe spectators witnessed a close, exciting game as the Pantherettes came from behind to win by three points, In the coaches assessment, the following are her comments: Starters on the team include Judy Lynn, a sophomore playing forward, who jumps, growls and out hustles her opponents, according to coach Nelson. She has been high scorer in five games. Marion Eastham, a sophomore playing for the first year, is center while Rhonda Brown, a transfer student, has proven herself on the court, also. Denise Wingfield is a cool headed sophomore guard with ball control and shoots well from a medium distance. Sandy Wines, a freshman, has recently shown her value in jumping and rebounding. Keep an eye on her! Aleta Adkins’ greatest asset is her quick response. She is a guard, but had sustained a knee injury which eliminated her from some of the contests, but she is now back in action. The remainder of the squad is composed of young ladies aspiring to be starters next year, who are talented and willing to work. Were it not for the continual striving Hawkins Completes Training Deputy R. D.

Exploring Offers Opportunities me Shenandoah Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, seeking to expand its Explorer membership, has recently completed a career interest survey among area high school students. Exploring is the BSA’s career-oriented and high adventure program for young adults, male and female, ages 15-21. The career interest survey, according to James H. Slapinski, Exploring Executive, “tells us what young adults want in the way of opportunities to look into possible careers for themselves. Based on the results, we go looking for business or professional organizations to sponsor posts—or help established posts enroll new members.” Slapinski said that this year’s survey showed highest interest in medicine, Data Processing, Banking, Electronics, and Automobile Mechanics. “While we have some posts in these fields, we can always use more. Persons interested in sponsoring posts in those—and other fields —should contact Jim Slapinski at the Shenandoah Area Council Service Center, 2300 Roosevelt Blvd. 6622551. Explorers, in addition to their own unit programs, have the opportunity to participate in many local council, regional, and national activities. Local council Explorer highlights during the coming year include a co-ed weekend at Camp Rock Enon, a semiformal dance, and ski trips. National highlights in 1978 will include the National > Explorer Presidents’ Congress in Washington, D.

The Old Red Fire Engine Turns Yellow Fire companies around the country are trading in their old, red trucks for shiny, new yellow ones—mainly because of a long-ignored fact: red is hard to see. Fire-engine yellow came into vogue a few years ago after an optometrist, Dr. Stephen S. Solomon, urged the switch, the National Geographic Society says. His studies showed the traditional fire truck to be a hazard to firemen and the public because red is hard to distinguish during the day and is even more difficult to see st night. Also, most people who are color blind—one in 12 drivers—don’t see red. Danger In Streets More firemen are killed or injured rushing to fires than fighting them, discovered Dr. Solomon, a volunteer firefighter in Port Jervis, N. Y. Sirens, which bounce off buildings and streets, don’t adequately inform drivers which way the fire engine’s coming from, he says. Flashing lights can also be confusing, especially in the neon maze of city streets. In seeking a replacement for red, the optometrist turned to the lighter shades of the spectrum, which the eye most quickly perceives. White proved to blend in too easily with snowy and foggy backgrounds, but yellow and chartreuse were found to be highly visible night and day and in most environments and weather. Lime yellow, as the manufacturers call it, was bom. Although some traditionbound fire companies aren’t hot on the idea, the new look is catching on. “I used to think there were more important things to spend money on than repainting fire trucks,” said a representative of the International Association of Fire Fighters, “but I don’t hear any complaints from the men who work with that color of truck.” A just-completed survey of fire apparatus manufacturers shows that as many yellow or lime yellow trucks were sold last year as red ones; in 1971 only 5 per cent of the trucks sold- were yellow or lime yellow. The company that first made lime yellow reports that the color accounts for 75 per cent of its orders. Two recent customers were the U. S. Navy and Air Force. Off-color* Not New The Dallas fire department, which is converting to lime yellow, finds it an improvement over red. "There’s no doubt that it’s easier to see—in all kinds of weather,” Assistant Chief Barry Gardner said. There have always been deviations from red.* Wheeling, W. Va., has orange fire engines; Champaign, 111., has burgundy. Cleveland has white and Chicago has traditionally had red with black cabs. One all-woman volunteer force prefers lavender. Fire engines have a past full of color. Firefighters of the mid-1800s took pride in making their vehicles individualistic. Trucks back then were gray when delivered so the men could go to work on them with oil paints and gold leaf, spreading a rainbow of color. The highly finished products were unveiled at lavish dinners. Not until the motorized apparatus rolled around in the earily 1900s did red become standard, but each manufacturer pushed his own shade of red. ++++ The largest king crab ever measured was five feet across, including its legs. It weighed nearly 25 pounds, as much as an average-size cocker spaniel. Park Visits Drop September visits to Shenandoah National Park decreased from 282,900 in 1976 to 270,600 in 1977, a drop of 4.3 per cent, according to a release from Park Superintendent Robert Jacobsen. To date, visits for Calendar Year 1977 compared with Calendar Year 1976 increased 16.5 per cent. At the Big Meadows weather station, the maximum temperature for September was 84 degrees and the minimum was 43 degrees. Precipitation for the month was 3.94 inches.

By authority Rappahannock County Republican Committee, L. Parrish. Treas. 21ol3 In Memoriam In loving memory of Janice Fitzgerald Hollida, who departed this life one year ago today, October 13,1976. Dear Janice, you left us one year ago, and It seems like it was just yesterday. God knows how we miss you and love you, and sees the sorrow behind our tears, that will never go away. But we have such sweet and loving memories of you, we see your smiling face everywhere we go, and to accept that you are gone from us, we still cannot believe that it is true, Your spirit and love lives among us, Janice, we love and miss you so, but God has another angel, now that he has you. Sadly missed by your Mother, Sisters, Brother & Grandmother In Memoriam In memory of my dear husband, George W. Payne, who departed this life one year ago, October 15, 1976. I cannot say, and l will not say That he is dead; he is just away. ■ *■ With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand, He has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It must be since he lingers there And you—O you who the wildest yearn For old time step and the glad return. Think of him as faring on, as dear In the love of there as the love of here. Mild and gentle as he was brave When the sweetest love of his life he gave. To simple things; where violets grew Pure as the eyes they lighten to. The touches of his hands have strayed. As reverently as his lips have prayed. Think of him still as the same, I say; He is not dead—he is just away!
