Shenandoah Park authorities reported six inches of snow at Big Meadows and closed the Drive from 1 p.m. on Sunday until approximately 1 p.m. Monday. Three inches of snow had accumulated by Sunday afternoon, standing 66 cars between Panorama and Big Meadows. Visitors were caught in their automobiles, some for overnight, while Park authorities worked to pull vehicles from ditches and clear roads. Park authorities reported no serious accidents as a result of the snow fall. “We feel very fortunate...We only had a few dented fenders and bumpers,” said Mrs. Campbell, spokeswomen for the Park Superintendent’s office. Despite the snow, acting chief ranger Bob Johnson said that the spectacular color show put on by the Shenandoah Park trees was expected to continue. At higher elevations, foliage reached its peak last weekend and is not holding well but colors are still good on the trails below the snow line, according to the ranger. Take Soil Samples Now Now is the time to take those soil samples for the upcoming crop year. Let’s avoid the hassle and delay that can occur due to the lateness of taking soil samples. Soil Sample boxes and information may be obtained either at the Rappahannock County ASCS Office or the Extension Service Office. The results of a soil sample will be no better than the sample sent to the laboratory, so take your time and get a representative sample from the fields. Sheep producers are encouraged to report all sales of wool and lambs to the Rappahannock County ASCS Office as soon as sales are final for 1977. If the national average price received falls below 72 cents per pound for shorn wool, there will be an incentive payment to all sheep producers who have reported sales for 1977. For more information contact the Rappahannock County ASCS Office. —Rappahannock News Staff Photo A SUDDEN SNOW STORM SUNDAY blanketed the mountain top at Panorama and hampered traffic from Skyline Drive which was closed for 24 hours. As much as six inches of snow piled up stranding motorists between Big Meadows and Panorama. Rain and sleet pelted much of this area and was accompanied by high velocity winds. Sewage Permit Issued By daphne McCullough Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock School Board has taken no action on upgrading the county elementary school’s sewage treatment lagoon so that effluent will meet new State Water Control Board standards. However, at last Tuesday’s meeting, Superintendent Dr. William Bloomer, reported that the SWCB had issued a discharge permit despite the School Board’s delay in signing an agreement to improve the facility. According to mformation presented at previous meetings, the lagoon has been shut down since last winter when severe cold interferred with normal operations. Following the spring thaw and "turn over” in the lagoon, effluent readings on suspended solids and biological oxygen demand (BOD) jumped over the limits allowed by SWCB regulations. Subsequently, new lower levels of 30 miligrams per liter for suspended solids and BOD were adopted by the SWCB and the school’s discharge permit expired. School officials have noted that the effluent produced by the system, even when it was operating properly, could not meet the new standards. SWCB officials informed the School Board two months ago that a new permit allowing lower, “interim” levels on BOD and suspended solids would be issued provided the School Board signed a consent order agreeing to improve the facility within a specified time frame. The School Board members have postponed signing the agreement until they could receive information on alternative methods and costs of upgrading the lagoon system. At the October 11 School Board meeting, Dr. Bloomer emphasized that the permit issued by the SWCB required compliance with final effluent standards, “much more stringent than the consent order limits would have been.” He told the Rappahannock News earlier that he did not anticipate having to release effluent into stream waters during October and possibly through November. He acknowledged that the Board would be open to legal action from private citizens and tb? SWCB should the effluent from the elementary school’s sewage system not meet state regulations. In a telephone interview, Steve Jurewicz from the Alexandria SWCB Regional office said that Rappahannock Elementary School’s new discharge permit had been issued with both final and interim ef fluent limitations but he noted that only the final limitations were currently in effect. Interim limits will go into effect immediately if the School Board signs the consent order “pretty soon,” he continued. If the Board continues to refuse to sign the agreement, “I don’t know if we’ll allow them to use the interim limits,” Jurewicz said. He emphasized that the SWCB would tend to be lenient now. But if the SWCB has to bring enforcement action against the Rappahannock School Board in . order to get the consent order signed, “we might look at it in a different light.” Deadline Extended On Farm Energy Loans The U. S. Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) has extended to Dec. 2 the deadline for farmers in Virginia to apply for farm emergency loans to cover losses caused by this year’s drought and other natural disasters. The agency’s supervisor, Mortimer L. Trew, said the extension has been ordered by Secretary of Agriculture Bob Bergland for ap plications under drought or other emergency loaneligibility designations that would expire before Dec. 2, provided the designations are based on disasters that have occurred on or after July 1, 1976. The Secretary’s action was taken under requirements of recent emergency loan legislation (PL 95-89) signed by President Carter. Among deadlines changed to Dec. 2 is the previous Sept. 30 deadline to apply for farm loans under the President’s special drought assistance program. Culpeper, Madison, and Rappahannock are the area counties designated under that program for emergency loans because of damages and losses caused by drought beginning in the 1976 crop year (which ended Dec. 31, 1976) and-or during crop year 1977. Also, the deadline has been extended to Dec. 2, for applications for assistance under a designation for Rappahannock County due to hail storms on August 13 and 14, 1976. Farmers lacking other sources of necessary credit may apply to FmHA for loans to offset losses or revive farming operations. Under the schedule of interest rates as revised by PL 95-89, loans are made at a rate of 3 per cent on the first $250,000 borrowed against actual loss, 5 per cent for additional amounts offsetting actual loss, and 8 per cent for loans not based on loss but needed to continue farming or making major adjustments in farm operations. Mr. Trew said extension of earlier deadlines will give farmers whose crop returns are determined late in the year a better opportunity to assess their losses and credit needs, and enable FmHA to speed completion of work on applications now pending that need immediate processing. FmHA emergency loan applications from farmers in Culpeper, Madison, and Rappahannock Counties are received at the agency’s county office located at 604 S. Main Street in Culpeper. —Rappahanaoek Nm Ptnto/Sarah Latham COMBINING BUSINESS AND PLEASURE were Lady Bird Johnson and daughter Lynda Robb who accompanied Chuck Robb on a campaign tour oi Rappahannock Saturday and attended a buffet at The Shade, home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Summers. Mrs. Summers and Mrs. Johnson are old Texas friends. Ag District Or Zoning Which Takes Precedence? By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer No one, from the State Attorney General’s office on down to local government officials, seems to agree on what is involved in approval of an Agricultural and Forestal District. Members of the Rappahannock Farm Bureau heard one interpretation at last Wednesday’s annual meeting. Hiram Zigler, member of the Virginia Advisory Legislative Council’s subcommittee that studied ag districts in New York and worked on similar legislation adopted by the Virginia General Assembly last year, was the featured speaker at the Farm Bureau meeting. Zigler’s interpretation over what takes precedence—ag district or zoning ordinance regulations—in determining permitted land use differs sharply from opinions expressed at last month’s workshop sponsored by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commisison. After running down a list of benefits that adoption of an ag district gives farmers, Zigler ^ maintained that district regulations would override zoning and subdivision ordinance restrictions on land use. Specifically, he told the audience that a land owner in an ag district could put up a high rise apartment building despite zoning regulations to the contrary, provided the land owner supplied his own roads, schools and sewer facilities. Farm Bureau member and county Planning Commissioner Newbill Miller objected that this would take control over development and growth away from local government. Zigler countered that the cost of providing necessary services would prevent land owners in an ag district from pursuing this type of development. He added that the Agricutlural and Forestal District Act includes no restrictions on residential development but acknowledged that a land owner in an ag district would lose land use taxation and be subject to roll back taxes should he take his property out of agricultural use and instead build a high rise apartment. Contrary Opinion At a Planning District workshop on the Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act held September 30, Assistant Attorney General Mason T. Jacks stated “the basic ordinance that controls land use is the zoning ordinance. An agricultural district can be superimposed...but if there is a question on what would predominate in regard Water Situation Critical The Washington Water System well has reached a new low and it is mandatory that the town water will be cut off each night at 9 p.m. in order to replenish the supply for daytime use. Town officials believe, at best, there is only a ten-day supply on hand. Subscribers to the water system are requested to please be frugal with the water usage. Ordinance Review Starts The October meeting ol the Rappahannock County Planning Commission will be held Monday, October 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the courthouse. The Planners intend to begin a review of the county’s Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances, the only item on the agenda for the meeting. to what uses are permitted, the zoning ordinance would take precedence.” None of the other members of the workshop’s expert panel—State Department of Taxation Supervisor for Appraising Otto Fraher, Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture T. Graham Copeland and VPI Department of Agriculture Economics extension specialist J. Paxton Marshall—disagreed with Jacks’s assertion. Planning District Executive Director John Capelle said on Tuesday that he was aware of Zigler’s position in regard to ag districts superceding local zoning ordinances. While Capelle acknowledged Zigler as one of the recognized experts on ag district legislation, he maintained that majority opinion held zoning ordinances took precedence over ag districts in controlling land use. Capelle said that his staff had attempted to get written opinions on this and other areas of controversy surrounding ag districts from the Attorney General’s office but had been unsuccessful. He added that he' thought most of the questions would have to be eventually settled by the courts. Ag District Benefits Earlier in the meeting, Zigler presented some of the benefits that farmers would derive from joining an ag district. He described the Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act as a “new type of zoning” that carries restrictions on local and state government. He noted that government may not adopt ordinances such as odor control laws that will adversely impac^agriculture or forestry operations. Also, local government has the right to review land acquisition by emminent domaine involving more than ten acres from any farm in an ag district or 100 acres from the total acreage within the district and can deny the power to obtain land in this manner, according to Zigler. The affected agency could then appeal the denial to circuit court or to the State Corporation Commission in the case of a public utility. Sewer and water lines that may run across property in an ag district but are unused would have no effect on the property’s tax rate, according (Continued on Page 5) Vacancy Again? The School Board took two steps forward at last week’s meeting when its members voted to fill both administrative positions at the Rappahannock Elementary School. The Board approved acting principal Graham Spencer as the new principal and Charlotte Lambeth as assistant principal. Now it appears that the Board may have to take one step backward. An informed source told the News on Tuesday that Miss Lambeth has turned down the position, primarily because she has committed herself to a doctoral program at the University of Virginia. This leaves the assistant principal’s position vacant with Spencer forced to continue performing the duties of two full-time administrators. Apparently, the School Board will have to begin again with the time consuming task of interviewing prospective candidates. _ —Rappahannock New* Staff Photo DAVID COFFEY of Washington bagged this deer ’ Monday with a bow in the mountain near town.

(Editor’s note: The identity of “Game Keeper” and his place of residence in Fauquier County are witheld from publication—for obvious reasons.I While sightseeing the castles and chateaux of Europe with my wife, more often than not she was examining the furnishings and bed where Queen sor and-so slept, I would be peering out the window watching the deer feeding in the parkland and dreaming the impossible dream of having a deer park someday on our farm in Virginia. Unbelievably, the dream has come true and my family has been enjoying for several years now the lovely sight of deer feeding within 100 feet of our living room on almost any morning or evening and even sometimes in the middle of the day when it is cloudy and drizzly. And what is more, these are sleek, wild deer out of the woods, and our “self-help deer park” costs only about $15 per year. It all began when we admired the occasional sight of deer feeding in the fields nearby (a response to the protection we have given them against poachers, night hunters, etc.), and we recalled reading how Thomas Jefferson with his farm assistant would feed the deer on the edge of the woods near Monticello. We had enjoyed the birds feeding on cracked corn scattered near the house, but for the deer we used shelled whole corn placed on the upturned top of a plastic garbage can. About two gallons of corn lasts a week—a small amount is taken by large bird!* and ' small animals—and about 200 pounds would be sufficient for a home deer park from early spring to fall. A yard full of barking dogs, even ope little dog inside, would chuck the whole project. We keep one good watchdog, a pet which stays in the house most of the time or at least when we want to watch the deer in the early a.m. or late afternoon. We also do all we can to keep down the number of stray dogs in the area, taking strays to the dog pound and asking neighbors to abide by the law which forbids dogs running loose. Sound Of A Shot We take a dim view also of the pickup trucks with the guns slung on racks back of the driver’s seat. It’s not unusual to see them cruising the small back roads in the early morning and late afternoon when the deer and other wild game are moving about. Sometimes a shot is heard and later the remains of a deer or the feathers of the wild turkey tell the tale. The game are not afraid of a vehicle and may be viewed standing near the roadside, staring at cars and oblivious of danger from the so-called groundhog hunters—until it is too late. It is against the law to shoot within 100 yards of a public road, but it makes very little difference to these indiscriminate poachers. Pickups with guns like this should be outlawed. Location of the deer feeding spot is important. Ours is about 30 feet from a thicket, on the edge of the lawn. The deer prefer to be near wooded cover and would probably not come to food in the middle of a pasture except at night. We sometimes pjace feed down in a mown field about 300 yards from our terrace where we can watch the deer while we ourselves are outside. The ones closer by have to be watched from inside the house, and too much movement at windows can frighten them away, bounding in graceful leaps with white flags flying. We have seen them feeding at both the near and distant locations at the same time, a special treat. The morning I am writing this, I called my wife to see a doe with two nearly grown fawns standing close shoulder-to-shoulder, all three eating at the same time, casting alert stares at the house. They seemed to take brief turns watching in our direction while the others ate the corn, dipping up and down, ears extended to catch any warning sound. They feed for only two to four minutes, consuming a relatively small amount of corn, then move slowly off, browsing on weed and brush tips. It was probably the same doe we had fed in the spring when she appeared with two little light tan spotted fawns. Now in October the spots were gone and their coats were darkers. Fawns in the summer are very playful and enjoy scampering around the lawn, sometimes chasing and even jumping over each other, always under the nervous and watchful eye of their mother. While we were sitting at dinner late one afternoon, we were entertained by one fawn that came bounding up to the edge of the terrace, nibbling at the flower plants a few feet from the door. Illegal To Encloae I believe there is a law against keeping a deer in captivity which would seem to preclude a fenced-in park. It is probably a good law because it would protect these lovely animals from being put in small enclosures and improperly fed. In some states it is possible to obtain special permission to operate a fenced-in park and breed the deer, almost like cattle. In Europe this is done not only for their esthetic value but also for the delicious venison. In fox hunting parts of Virginia, deer are not in favor with those who ride to the hounds because they draw the pack into far far distant chases that the riders cannot follow. However, in Connecticut both pleasures are enjoyed by a master-of-hounds. He has enclosed five or six acres with a 12 foot fence and can enjoy the rare sight of fawns, does and stags at any time of the day. Antlered stags are seldom seen feeding on our place, being much more shy and mainly night feeders. - We certainly agree with the writer of your recent article 'which cautions against taking home seemingly abandoned baby fawns in the woods. Their mothers have hidden them in thickets and know exactly where they are. The babies instinctively hug the ground and lie absolutely still until almost touched. At this stage they are highly vulnerable to roaming dogs whose owners should realize their lovable house pets by nature turn into vicious killers when they find young wild game of any kind. “Abandoned” fawns should likewise be left in the woods and not taken home by well intentioned people because the baby deer are not by any means lost. If a child brings one home, return it as soon as possible to the place where it was found. The mother will find it in a short time. A Special TTirill The special thrill of having your own deer park is not at all restricted to counts and kings on royal estates. If you live near a wooded area where deer are seen, invest in a bag of shelled corn and keep a small pile convenient for these beautiful animals. They will soon lose their shyness and feed trustingly near your house. This can be an effective way of instilling a valued conservation spirit in children, a wildlife project they can take part in and enjoy at home. A self-help deer park can be a continuing royal treat for the whole family and an unforgettable fascination for your visiting friends. ifappalianmirk Nctm; Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $5.00 Elsewhere in the U.S. per year $6.50 Outside the U.S. per year $5.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE iNe* I IRenewal ICbedr tndosn) NAME __ ADDRESS __ CITY _STATE __ZIP Entered as second class mail at the Post Office in Washington.

Dalton Wishes He Controlled Campaign Fund Collections By JOHN EISENHARD Rappahannock News Staff Writer In an interview with The Fauquier Democrat published in last week’s edition, Republican candidate for governor John N. Dalton referred questions about a mail campaign in his behalf to a prior interview he’d held Oct. 1 in Culpeper. In the later interview, Dalton declined to respond directly when asked if he supported an Arlington group which put out a fund raising letter terming his Democratic opponent Hemw Howell an “erratic radical'* and accusing Howell of advocating strict gun control laws and of supporting busing of Virginia school children to the District of Columbia. Since the record showed that many of the accusations were mis-statements of the record, Dalton was asked if he disavowed the letter. Except for repeating that it “was a letter stronger than I would have written,” Dalton would say only that he wished the fund raising and fund distribution were under his Dalton Committee’s control. Although he offered a transcript of the earlier interview to The Democrat, two requests from the newspaper for a copy were unproductive until after last week’s edition went to press. A copy was finally received here from Dalton Committee headquarters in Richmond last Wednesday. Labeled, “Transcript of news conference with Lt. Gov. John N. Dalton and US Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson, Culpeper, Va., Oct. 1,” the pertinent references read: Q.: “What is your opinion of that letter that went out over the Congressman’s name?” Dalton: “The letter was a rather strong letter. It probably was a little stronger than I am accustomed to writing but it is a matter the Congressman would have to address. I’m not involved in that organization whatsoever and as a matter of fact, the four names I’ve seen mentioned in the newspaper as having been officers in the association, I don’t think I know two of them. I may recognize them if I saw them, but I don’t recognize them.” Q.: "Congressman Robinson, did you know that, would you, that’s the first statement in that letter that says Howell was in favor of busing Virginia students. Is that a correct statement?” Robinson: “It is not a correct statement, to my regret it appears in the letter. The fact that I had the busing headed the wrong way across the bridge across the Potomac is something that is not factual and it was an omission on my part in reading the rough draft of the letter. The knowledge is well known that the statement that is referred to has to do with D.C. children being bused into Virginia, not Virginia children being bused into the District of Columbia. I regret that I had to survey that rough draft very quickly in between votes being pulled off the floor of the Congress at the time that it was approved. It was an omission on my part.” Q.: “Mr. Dalton, Congressman Robinson’s letter describes Mr. Howell as a radical. Do you feel Mr. Howell is a radical?” JOHN N. DALTON Dalton: “I feel Mr. Howell is about as liberal as any politician who has ever offered for public office in Virginia on many issues. I don’t know that I have ever referred to him as a radical, but I do think he is way out of step with the mainstream of Virginia thinking.” Q.: “Is busing going to be an issue in this campaign?” Basing Not An Issae Dalton: “Not in the Dalton campaign. We do not intend to make any speeches on busing. To the best of my knowledge Mr. Howell is not in favor of buisng. I am aware of the statement he made over WTOP several years ago. I have understood he has said since then that he is not in favor of busing at this time, and I take him for his word. It may be that you could refer to that as flip-flop but we do not intend to be alleging the campaign that Mr. Howell is in favor of busing and we do not have any ads being prepared, as far as I know, that have anything to do with alleging any busing in this campaign.” Downtown Culpeper BIGGEST SALE DAYS ARE COMING!

I have endeavored throughout this campaign to try to see to it that all organizations that are working with The Dalton Campaign send their money through The Dalton Campaign Committee and that will be reflected in the financial statement which we file. There are always groups which are set up in connection with a campaign such as Farmers for Dalton, or Dentists for Dalton, these type things. We have asked these people who are working with us, people, and groups that we have some control over, to not have separate treasurers, not have separate finance organizations. Their money is being sent into one Dalton campaign fund and Mary Howell To Speak At Rally Mary Howell, wife of Democratic governor candidate Henry Howell, will be the featured speaker at a Democratic Party rally and barbecue from 5 p.m. until 8 p.m. Saturday at the National Guard Armory, 692 Waterloo Rd.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20,1977 Self Help The “do-it-yourself” spirit as opposed to the “let’s ask somebody for money” attitude seems to be making headway in Rappahannock County. And it’s getting results. The Panther Athletic League began a fund raising drive to build a track at Rappahannock High School several months ago. Track team enthusiasts and supporters chose this avenue rather than ask the School Board to overextend a limited budget and appropriate funds for the effort. Track team members and adult volunteers joined together in sponsoring a benefit polo match, booths at the Washington 4th of July celebration and a flea market. Spurred by efforts that youngsters were making to help themselves, local civic groups gave assistance. The Amissville Ruritans and the Rappahannock Lion’s Club both made substantial donations. More recently, the Rappahannock Farm Bureau voted to add $1,000 to the fund. The Panther Athletic League is close to, if not over, the $5,000 goal set for clearing and grading a high school track and not one penny of public tax money has been expended. The seventh grade class at Rappahannock Elementary School has also begun a fund raising drive to finance their annual trip to Williamsburg, an educational rather than sightseeing excursion that ties in with Virginia history studies. The seventh grade self-help money making projects that begin with the Halloween Fun Fair and are planned to continue with a play and aluminum can collection deserve community support. Their first project should not only bring in some money but it will offer youngsters in a rural county an alternative to trick-or-treating. House-to-house begging for candy is more suitable to subdivision roads than to country lanes in an agricultural community. Maybe the seventh grade’s Fun Fair will lessen some of\he “give me candy” pressures on Washington, Amissville, Sperryville and Flint Hill that occur when parents bring their offspring in from more outlying areas. Another volunteer effort that involves recreation rather than fund raising also deserves special mention. New elementary principal Graham Spencer sought and got approval from the Rappahannock School Board at last week’s meeting for a basketball and gymnastics program planned for county youth after school at the elementary school. The county offers few recreational opportunities for youngsters. We’d be the first to agree that Rappahannock doesn’t need a recreation director. However, there should be some sort of happy medium between nothing and another bureaucratic department with a life of its own and a hand in the county budget. The gap can be filled with volunteer efforts from adults who care about giving kids something to do with their spare hours besides watch TV or get into mischief. The Rappahannock Athletic Association made a fine beginning in this direction with the county’s first little league program last summer. This effort has been followed up by elementary teachers volunteering their time to supervise after school recreational activities. For this, the teachers deserve a vote of thanks from the community AND help in making the program a success. Lane: ‘I Want To Help Consumers’ Edward E. Lane has represented the Richmond area in the House of Delegates for the last 24 years, a period which has seen a great movement of social change in Virginia. And Lane, a staunch conservative, opposed much of that change, a fact his opponent for state Attorney General, J. Marshall Coleman, will not let rest. “He is reopening old wounds in Virginia for his own personal political gains. The responsible people of Virginia, both black and white, will hold him accountable for that,” Lane said in a recent interview. Lane, a Democrat, does not prostrate himself for his past stands, but he does say that he “has changed according to experience.” He says that people in Virginia should “look forward not backward.” There have been areas “of profound social change” in the state, he said. Politicians can change, he said, as their experiences change. Asked to say how he had changed after 24 years as an elected official, Lane said, “That’s hard to pinpoint.” One obvious change for Lane is his support this year of Henry Howell for Governor, a man who many consider to be at the opposite end of the political rainbow from the Attorney General candidate. In fact, Lane supported Howell’s opponent for Governor four years ago. But this year, he says, he is supporting the The Little Fox Democratic ticket. In explaining his support of Howell, Lane told of his experiences as chairman of the House Appropriations Committee for a number of years. He said that many of the liberals who want to spend money suddenly become conservative when they are appointed to the Appropriations Committee and realize "that the responsibility is on their shoulders.” “I think that would apply here,” he said of Howell. “I think he would be fiscally responsible. When the responsibility lies on his shoulders, he will accept that responsibility.” As Attorney General, Lane said he would be in position to do “a lot for consumers, especially in the area of utility rates.” Lane said he would like to see the state attorney’s office do more in the way of investigation and presenting evidence in rate cases before the State Corporation Commission. The utilities, he said, have the funds "for expensive attorneys and consultants.” “I want to give the same power to the consumer,” Lane said. Lane said that if he is elected he will not lobby the General Assembly, which he considers would be in conflict with his official duties. “This would interfere with the professional nature of the office. If I lobbied, there would be serious questions about the validity and ob jectivity of opinions I may hand down as Attorney General. I might express a personal opinion that would be entirely different from my official opinion.” However, Lane said, he will have some influence over criminal laws in the state as a member of the state Crime Commission. Through this position, he said, he would be involved in the area of law enforcement and law change. Lane called for a strong task force to study the use of hard drugs in the state. “If we solve the problem, we may cut down on the number of crimes.” He said that he supports mandatory sentences for law breakers and feels that the privilege of plea bargaining should be denied in dealing with serious crimes. Running for Attorney General, he said, is difficult because many people do not understand the office. That office is strictly defined by law to represent the legal affairs of the people of the state. After four years, he said, the people will be able to judge his performance in office by looking “at the efficient way” he ran the state’s legal affairs. “People will know whether or not they have gotten fair and just representation. And they will see an aggressive nature in the consumer division. These are all measures of an Attorney General’s performance.” JIM POPE Rappahannock N«m Staff Photo/Daphne McCullough Our Rappahannock Heritage Coleman Promises Independence By JIM POPE Arundel Newspapers Writer When J. Marshall Coleman was growing up in his hometown of Staunton, the political power across the state rested in the hands of the Democrats. Coleman did not like what he saw going on in the state when he was young, such as massive resistance to school de segregation. It was then that he decided to become a Republican. Although only 35, Coleman feels that he has had the experience as a trial lawyer and as a member of the House of Delegates and the state Senate to serve as Attorney General. He plans to be an active Attorney General who will use his office to influence the General Assembly. "The Attorney General can be a legislative leader.. He can be in a constant state of lobbying the General Assembly as to what is proposed and what gets passed,” Coleman said in a recent interview. Another application of the office, he said, is to “relentlessly point to where reforms should come.” During his campaign, Coleman has often talked of changing the method through which judges are selected in the state. Rather than having the majority, caucus of the General Assembly do the selecting, Coleman said he would like to see the establishment of an independent judicial selection committee made up of three lawyers, three non-lawyers and one judge. The members of the panel, he said, would be selected on a non-partisan basis. “I want to cut politics out of the selection. We get good judges now despite the system rather than because of it,” Coleman said. MARSHALL COLEMAN EDWARD S. LANE Coleman also favores presumptive sentencing, an action which would take power away from judges. But, he said, criminals convicted of the same crime in different court circuits will get sentences that are completely different. “I would like to see the judges given a narrow discretion when it comes to sentencing,” hesaid, "I want criminals to know that for every crime they will receive such and such a sentence. If the offense is repeated, the criminal will get an added sentence. This is going to narrow the ability for abuse in sentencing and will assure that equality is rendered under the law,” he said. Coleman said that as Attorney General he would “stand up to the utility companies, which is something the Attorney General should be able to do.” While serving in the General Assembly, Coleman said, he sponsored legislation that would make industry responsible for its actions. Promises Independence He sees the office of Attorney General as an independent agency that acts without influence from the Governor. “There ought to be a check and balance in state government. An independent Attorney General will assure Virginia of that. This is not to mean that I will seek confrontations with the Governor, but I am not going to be a rubber stamp for anybody. I will be the people’s lawyer.” Coleman has been able to pick up the support of groups that traditionally support more liberal-minded candidates, but says he remains “a conservative Republican.” “I passed the acid test while I was in the General Assembly. I am conservative on fiscal matters. I voted against salary increases for members of the General Assembly, feeling that we should make do with what we have. I also feel that government should operate more in the open and I supported lobby reforms in the General Assembly. These are the best of the conservative view of things.” "My politics are practical. I believe that if it is not necessary to change, then it is necessary not to change. I am not for change for change’s sake,” he said. He sums up his view of the Attorney General’s duties with this statement. “The greatest qualification is the need of somebody who is willing to confront issues and who is interested in the administration of justice. The Attorney General should take a leadership role, and should constantly be asking the difficult question.” By GEORGE BOWLES Rappahannock New Cmnyfal The race for lieutenant governor has suddenly taken on a far greater significance than would have been *“v**64** J/VM sible several months ago. When Republican Joe Canada first raised the issue of the Panama Canal Treaty Pr«‘ BOWLES claimed his opposition to its ratification earlier this summer, it appeared to be the desperate move of a candidate who was hopelessly behind and grasping for an issue—any issue—with which to salvage his campaign. His Democratic opponent, Charles S. Robb, and the other members of the “Rainbow” ticket were somewhat bemused by the tactic. Robb’s speeches were laced with comments about Letter To The Editor Facts About ERA To the editor: In the interest of informing readers on the Equal Rights Amendment, a few questions and answers follow concerning issues about which there is often misunderstanding or confusion. Q. What does the ERA say? A. “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any other State on account of sex. Congress shall have the power, by appropriate legislation, to enforce the provisions of this article. This amendment shall take effect two years after the date of ratification.’’ Q. How and when must ERA be ratified by the states before it is added to the Constitution? A. Three more states, making a total of 38, must ratify the ERA by March 22, 1979, or it will fail. Q. Will the ERA force women to leave home and take a job? A. No. The ERA will mandate recognition of the monetary value of homemakers’ work for the first time, and equalize women’s tangible property rights. Q. Will the ERA help older women? A. Yes. 47 per cent of women over 65 have less than $2,000 in annual income. Under the ERA, fair Social Security, pension rights and job opportunities will increasingly help older women avoid destitution. Q. Will the ERA force men and women to become alike—to become unisex? A. No. The ERA will not force men and women to become identical; it will only guarantee equal protection of the law. Q. Will the ERA establish quotas for men and women in public institutions of higher learning? A. No. The ERA will not establish quotas for men and women in public colleges and universities, but will require for the first time that uniform admittance standards be applied to all persons. For example, 21,000 women were turned down for college entrance in the State of Virginia in 1964; during the same year, not one application of a male student was rejected (Report of the Virginia Commission for the Study of Educational Facilities in the State of Virginia, 1964). This has improved somewhat, but still women are consistently required to have higher grades for college entrance than men in some public colleges, universities and, especially, professional schools. This will change with the ERA. Q. Why hasn’t the ERA been ratified yet? A. A minority of opponents in a minority of states oppose it. In November, 1976, a Harris poll showed support for the ERA to be 65 per cent to 27 per cent in the nation. Mary Beth Myers Martin Ad Hoc Committee for the ERA-' ■ . ■ V ••• V# Canada mistakenly thinking the treaty had to be ratified by the Virginia Senate instead of that of the United States. But in spite of the fact that the lieutenant governor of the Commonwealth has absolutely nothing to do with the treaty and its ratification, the issue seems to have caught on, and Canada appears to have succeeded, to an undetermined degree, in turning his election into a referendum on the question of ratification. It is no accident that this has happened. With polls showing that his campaign was heading for disaster, the use of the canal as an issue was reportedly suggested to Canada by the National Conservative Political Action Committee, the Arlington based group which is also behind the hard-sell anti-Henry Howell television blitz that is supposed to start this week. Canada picked up the canal ball and has been running with it, very nearly to the exclusion of all state campaign issues. The strategy has proved surprisingly effective, and Canada has been drawing national attention by his efforts. The reason, of course, is not difficult to understand. Although the connection of the canal with Virginia politics is foggy at best, the question of its ratification is emotion charged and has the kind of patriotic appeal that many Virginians find irresistable. According to Canada and other critics of the treaty, we are, after all, “giving away the canal and paying the Panamanians to take it.” Also, the lieutenant governor’s race is a very nearly perfect political laboratory in which to test the ratification question as a viable political issue. It is a race almost devoid of other issues. There is nothing beyond the personal qualities of the two men and party loyalty to distract the voters from making their choice on the basis of the canal question. As Sen. Barry Goldwater said last week in a speech in. Hanover County, the RobbCanada race provides the perfect opportunity for the Virginia electorate to send a message to Washington on what one state thinks about the matter. Both those who oppose and favor the treaty will be watching the outcome as an indicator of public sentiment on the ratification issue. But the political engineers will also be looking for something else. They will be watching the percentages to see how much Canada’s political health improved after he made the treaty an issue. If he should win, which at this writing seems highly unlikely, the treaty’s opponents will have picked up some solid ammunition to use in the coming ratification battle in the Senate. Also, the conservative political strategists will be confirmed in their view that the canal is a Heaven-sent political issue to use in next year’s congressional races. But even if Canada loses, and yet the outcome shows that by opposing the treaty he narrowed the gap substantially over Robb’s early runaway lead, the conservatives will be convinced that they have made their point, and found their issue.

Known as WIC (for Women, Infants and Children’s Supplemental Feeding Program) the feeding program gives food vouchers to mothers and children classified as “nutritional risks” by the local or state health departments which issues the vouchers. The prime goals of WIC are to bring combinations of extra foods to society’s most vulnerable group: pregnant women and nursing mothers with very low incomes and their children to five years. Low-income pregnant or nursing women and their small children are especially vulnerable because the need for nutrients and health care is greatest at these periods of life. Surveys reveal that poor diet, iron-deficiency anemia, abnormal weight problems and inadequate prenatal care are common among lowincome pregnant women. The U.S. Preschool Nutrition Survey also shows that infants and small children, especially in poverty groups, have many problems related to poor diet. (Conception to age 5 is a critical period of growth and development. The period of most rapid brain growth is from -3 months before birth to six months after birth. Ninety per cent of all postnatal brain growth occurs in the first 3 years of life. If children are malnourished during that time, they may become mentally retarded. Malnutrition also increases the infant death rate. In short, less food equals more chance of brain damage and disease and even death.)

DAVIES DEMOCRA T FOR DELEG A TE NOVEMBER 8 By authority ot Eloise Weaver, Treasurer, Davies for Delegate Committee. WIC program can be expected to decrease low-birth weights, nutritional anemias and other problems of early life. Supplementary foods in WIC include milk, cheese, eggs, cereals, fruit and vegetable juices; foods high in protein, calcium, iron, vitamins A, C and D. When added to the regular diet, they boost it. Unlike other food programs, WIC operates directly through health departments and clinics in needy areas. Women and children are eligible only if they have been examined by health professionals and 1 found to be nutritionally 1 vulnerable. In addition, they must qualify for free or reduced-price medical care. ! WIC is a program of the Food & Nutrition Service of 1 the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. Public and private health clinics operate the program locally by certifying participants, keeping medical records, providing nutrition education and issuing food or vouchers redeemable at participating markets. Virginia has been granted $4,706,850 for fiscal year 1978. The Virginia WIC Committee is a coalition of statewide public and private food-concerned groups who worked to bring WIC to Virginia (the 49th state to do so) and now recognizes a responsibility to make the public aware of the benefits of this food program to our most precious natural resource, our children.

Lewis * Sponsor Ag District Or Zoning (Continued from Page 1) to Zigler. Although land within an ag district will qualify for use value taxation, Zigler questioned whether a majority of farmers would apply for this option. He cited New York State as an example of a jurisdiction where use value taxation was not requested by most farmers in ag districts. Farmers will profit from joining an ag district even without use value taxation, he maintained, since their land will be protected from “speculative pressures.” Credit Not Adversely Affected Zigler said he had heard criticism directed against ag districts on the grounds that inclusion in such a district would affect a farmer’s credit rating and ability to borrow money by lowering the value of his property. This objection is unfounded, according to Zigler. He said he’d checked with several banks and had been told that money is not loaned on the speculative value of land but on its ability to produce revenue. Instead of hurting a farmer’s credit rating, joining an ag district will improve that rating, maintained Zigler, since ag district membership “will enhance long term credit programs ...(and) enable farmers to plan for the future.” Farm Bureau member and Rappahannock Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale asked if the 500 acres necessary for creation of an ag district had to be contiguous. “The law is silent” on this point, Zigler answered. “Ideally it should be but there’s no reason why there can’t be some holes” in the proposed district, he added. Zigler was asked if the Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act didn’t raise constitutional questions regarding unequal levels of Alcohol Major Factor In Teen Crashes Martin punched the acv celerator of his highperformance van and watch* e<i the tachometer needie climb. He roared into a winding Virginia two-lane curve. One of his sii passengers told Martin to slow down. “Don’t worry,” yelled another, “He can handle this car.” Unfortunately, Martin had been handling some beer earlier that night and didn’t remember the next 30 seconds. As he passed the “25 mph maximum safe speed” sign, he lost control at 60 and slammed into a bridge abutment and slide down a ravine. Two of his friends lay dead outside the car as he climbed from the wreckage. Another died hours later in an operating room. This fictionalized incident is not unusual. Highway crashes are the number one cause of death for teenagers in Virginia and the nation. Alcohol is a major factor. “More than 60 per cent of fatal crashes of drivers 16-24 years old are alcoholrelated,” said Barent F. Landstreet, administrator, Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program. Number One Abased Drag The problem is apparently on the rise. The Virginia Department of Education reported recently that a principal’s poll had named alcohol as the number one drug being abused in schools today. “Alcohol is a cheap, easy to obtain high,” said Landstreet. “Teenage drivers are both learning to drink and learning to drive. The results are catastrophic.” “Our Virginia surveys tell us that about 85 per cent of all students reaching the twelfth grade have experimented with alcohol.” What cijan be done to curb alcohol-related teen traffic crashes? The initial response is disheartening. “Teens are most concerned about conforming to peer pressure. Peers often dare each other to take chances,” said Landstreet. A national survey says teens are less taxation on similarly classified land by giving use value to farm land within a district but not to similar land outside the district boundary. He replied that an assistant attorney general assigned to the agricultural committee during its deliberations on passage of the Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act felt there was “no conflict” and that the automatic allowance of use value taxation within a district was not unconstitutional. Agricultural districts were set up basically for established farming communities and can be of great help in maintaining acreage in agriculture and forestry uses, according to Zigler. “The loneliest man in the world is a farmer surrounded by subdivision,” he concluded. Defend what you have won. Attention Bids for grading an area for a track at Rappahannock County High School will be accepted until Nov. 5, 1977. Contact Henry Hudson, 6753775, for further information. likely to listen to parents than even brothers and sisters, he said. "But we’ve discovered while teens aren’t too concerned about limiting their own drinking and driving, they are more willing to intervene when they believe a fellow party-goer is acting dangerously,” Landstreet said. “Maybe, through public information, we can convince teens to be concerned about one another,” he said. Teenagers Believe Myths Teenagers, as a group, are also very susceptible to believing myths about alcohol. According to the same survey, teens are very liberal about guessing how many drinks it takes to get ' them intoxicated. When asked how many ; beers could be consumed • within two hours without ' risking intoxication, 42 per cent said five to seven beers. Fifteen per cent thought • eight or more. ; Landstreet said 70 per cent ' of the surveyed students thought cold showers would sober up a drunk person. More than 60 per cent said coffee was effective. “Actually, the only sober up cure is time. Time for alcohol to leave the system. That usually takes around an hour per ounce of alcohol consumed,” he said. More Farmer Aid Urged Seventh District Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson is backing a House Joint Resolution directing the President, Secretary of Agriculture and other officials to develop and implement a more comprehensive program for foreign sales of American agricultural commodities. According to Robinson, “A great many American farmers are in deep economic trouble. After they deduct costs of production and adjust for inflation, their net income this year is projected by the Department of Agriculture to be less than farmers received in 1936—the lowest in 41 years. “But their production costs continue to soar for items like seed, fertilizer, machinery, labor and fuel. A staggering farm debt estimated now to top $102 billion dollars, coupled with drought and depressed prices, is forcing the sale of fixed farm assets on some; bankruptcy on others. “It's clear that the government must do all possible to expand our markets overseas in order to reduce grain and other commodity surpluses hanging over the market and restore healthier farm prices here at home,” Robinson asserted. H—I—I—h A good boss is someone who takes a little more than his share of the blame and a little less than his share of the credit. WARRENTON HUNT HUNTER TRIALS Sun., Oct. 23 ■ 10:00 A.M.

It’s also a day for adults to remember that not every child has prospects for a bright future. Three-fourths of the world’s children live in developing nations where disease, illiteracy and malnutrition are ugly facts of life. National UNICEF Day— October 31—is a day for remembering and for helping. Through extensive programs in health, education and nutrition, the United Nations Children’s Fund helps over . 100 countries toward better lives for their children. Rappahannock youngsters, sponsored.. by the United Methodist Church Youth Fellowship, will be doing their part. Youth Group members will trick-or-treat for UNICEF door to door in Flint Hill and Washington. Contribution boxes will also be placed in banks and stores throughout the county. Contributions to UNICEF ^ can go a long way, whether it’s 9 cents that purchases enough vaccine to immunize a child against polio or $1500 for a year’s worth of medical supplies for a health-care unit serving 4000 people. “Your help can make a difference in a child’s future—be part of National UNICEF Day—October 31,” ask County UNICEF organizers.

COUNTR Y JOURNAL By NANCY SECRIST Extension Agent “Have you hugged your kid today?” You may have seen this on a bumper sticker being distributed by the Mental Health Clinic. This is a reminder that children need love and acceptance expressed to them in ways they can understand. Hugging your child may or may not be your way of showing affection. If it is not, taking the time to actually “listen” to what your child is saying to you can be just as effective as a hug. Playing a game, reading a book even if the child can read himself, or taking a walk with your child will let him know you are interested in him. Spending time alone with each of your children each day will let them know they are special. Try this delicious recipe for an apple crumb pie.

McCardell said the increase here is higher than the national average and higher than PE’s own long-range forecast of an increase in electric usage of a little over six percent per year. The average Potomac Edison residential customer now uses 11,086 kwh a year, an increase of 583 kwh in just the first eight months of this year. “It is alarming to see our conservative growth forecasts exceeded,” McCardell said, “when we are already predicting shortages of electricity here in the mid80’s with a six percent annual increase in use.” McCardell said the company’s ability to finance the necessary construction program to meet future demand has been hampered by failure of some of its regulatory commissions to grant adequate rate increases in the past. “It takes six to ten years to build a new generating station,” McCardell continued, “and it may already be too late to provide for all the needs of our customers ip the midThe PE officer praised conservation efforts made by many of the company’s customers in the past and urged continuing emphasis on saving electricity and other forms of energy.

Meeting Set On Secondary Road Plans A new law aimed at giving county boards of supervisors a more active role in planning secondary road improvements will be discussed by the state’s top secondary roads engineer and an assistant attorney general at the 29th Virginia Highway and Transportation Conference at Lexington October 27. The conference, sponsored by Virginia Military Institute and the State Department of Highways and Transportation, is expected to attract about 1,000 representatives of local, state and federal governmental agencies and private industry. Val W. Southall, an assistant attorney general, will report on legislation enacted by the 1977 session of the General Assembly to permit the county boards to work with the Highway and Transportation Department in preparing comprehensive six-year plans for improvements on the 43,000mile state secondary road system. A. S. Brown, the department’s secondary roads engineer, will discuss the department’s efforts to encourage the counties to participate in the planning process. John E. Harwood, the department’s commissioner, already has. written to each board of supervisors urging that they take part in the development of the plans. The six-year plans will be based on estimates of funds to be available, and are to list proposed improvements and the estimated cost of each project. Public hearings are to be held before the plans are given final approval, and the legislation requires that the plans be updated at least every two years. ++++ ; Hamburg, Germany, handles nearly 50 million tons of cargo a year along 40 miles of modern docks, and services ships bound to and from 1,100 ports of the world.
