Williams is a beef farmer and orchardist. H. S. Barksdale makes the presentation. T.V. Williams Named 1977 Rappahannock Conservationist Thomas V. Williams of Flint Hill was named the 1977 Rappahannock Conservationist and received recognition last Wednesday at a dinner meeting of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District held at Graves Mountain Lodge at Syria. “Thomas really deserves this award,” said Conservation District Director H. S. Barksdale. “Thomas has earned it. His farmland falls into three categories; steep, steeper and steepest, and had he not employed good conservation practices, he wouldn’t even have any land.” Born and reared in Rappahannock, Williams has been a fanner all of his life. He and his “team”—wife Mary and three sons —operate a 200 acre farm, 55 of which is in orchards and the remainder in pasture and hay. They rent additional crop and grazing land on an adjoining farm. They maintain a herd of 80 brood cows and 3 brood sows. After graduating from V.P.I. with a degree in horticulture, oldest son Tommy returned home to join father and brother Eddie on the fruit and livestock farm. A younger son, Mike, attends Randolph-Macon Academy in Front Royal, and works with the others during the summer. Mrs. Williams is also a very important part of the operation, according to her family. Williams was an outstanding 4-H’er when he was growing up and represented the State of Virginia as a member of the 4-H Livestock Judging Team at the International Livestock Show in Chicago in 1927. In the depression years of the early 30’s, Williams was employed as a state cattle grader, working four to six sales each week. He knew no minimum hours, for many of his days began at 3 a.m. and ended at midnight. Thomas has served on the board of directors of the Rappahannock National Bank for many years and is presently vice president. He is a director of the Rappahannock Home Mutual Fire Insurance Company and of the Culpeper Farmers’ Cooperative for 18 years. “Thomas Williams is recognized by those who know him as an outstanding apple and beef cattle producer. He is recognized by many as a man of excellent judgment,” said Barksdale. “Not only Rappahannock people, but others also seek his advice on various problems.” Agriculture Production Down In 1976 for the first time Virginia’s cash receipts from on the farm sales surpassed $1 billion with a total of $1,037,077,000, an increase of 6 per cent above 1975. This was in spite of the fact that drought conditions in the state cut crop production one-fifth below its potential. It will be some time before the final tabulations are in for the year of 1977, but again drought conditions will affect the state’s potential. It is roughly estimated at this time that production will be down generally from about 20 to 25 per cent. At the moment it appears that corn, soybeans and hay will be about 34 per cent below 1975 output. It is anticipated that better prices for tobacco and peanuts, which make up about 27 per cent of the total cash receipts from crops plus larger totals for most livestock and products, may again bring Virginia another billion dollar year. One thing seems to be sure, and that is that farm production expenses are continuing to creep closer to money received from cash receipts. They set a new record high in 1976 when they reached $988.8, an increase of 9.3 per cent over 1975. Production expenses as a ratio to cash receipts a decade ago computed to 89.8 per cent—today this is 95.4 per cent. When a farmer loses his crop, as many did in the drought, his expenses remain for seeds, fertilizer and other supplies. The first seven months of the year (Jan.-July) registered a 4 per cent gain for both crops and livestock over a comparable period in 1976. Prices for many of Virginia’s farm commodities now coming to market have been relatively low and the corn crop has suffered drastically not only from the drought but from insect damage. Latest estimates indicate production of corn at 55 bushels per acre and it is expected the qverall production will be the smallest since 1970 and the lowest yield since 1966. Subfreezing temperatures about mid-April brought severe damage to a well advanced fruit bloom for both peaches and apples. Moisture shortage also overshadowed potential fruit production but output is expected to be about 40 per cent below normal. . The moisture shortage that developed in mid-July grew into a severe drought through August and into early September for a large portion of the state. Areas hardest hit were in the southern, central, and upper valley sections of the state. Corn was caught at a critical point in development. Livestock producers had to feed green chopped corn to offset the poor condition of grasslands. Soybeans were also reduced sharply. Some threat to tobacco yields was indicated but the crop turned out better than expected due to the offsetting effect of irrigation, scattered showers and better weights out of a dry season. Quality was lowered. Total figures do not reflect the problems of many individual farmers who lost, in many cases, their entire corn crop. Communications Discussion Set Carole Hertz, counseling psychologist with offices in Washington at the Rappahannock Clinic, will lead a discussion group on family communications on Wednesday, November 9, at 7:30 in Trinity Episcopal Church Parish Hall. The session is. sponsored by the Virginia Extension Homemakers. Following a short opening presentation, Mrs. Hertz will answer questions from the audience and direct the discussion in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. Rappahannock Home Demonstration Agent Nancy Secrist urged everyone to attend the family communications workshop. “This is important to all of us,” she said. Voters Elect Governor Tuesday Rappahannock voters and voters around the state go to the polls Tuesday to elect the governor, lieutenant governor, state attorney general and delegates to the General Assembly. They will also say Yes or No to $125 million worth of general obligation bonds for education and parks, ports, mental health and retardation and corrections facilities. GOVERNOR There are three candidates for governor on the ballot as well as two others who are seeking write-in votes. JOHN N. DALTON, Republican, age 46, of Radford has been lieutenant governor since 1973. A lawyer, he is a graduate of William and Mary and the University of Virginia Law School.

Outward Migration Continues Spillover Will Impact Rural Counties By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock News Staff Writer The RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commissioners heard chilling statistics on Washington area growth patterns at last Thursday’s Commission meeting in Culpeper. Jane Rogers, Chief of Growth Policy Programs for the Washington Area Council of Governments (COG), told the Commissioners that the growth rate in COG’s jurisdiction had dropped by 50 per cent from the 1960’s to 1975, “That has a lot of implications for you,” she warned. She attributed the “less than natural” population increase, currently at 40,000 per year in metropolitan Washington, to “outward migration” into the fringe counties. In gathering statistical information, she noted that both Culpeper and Fauquier were included in the fringe county category. (Planning District Commission Executive Director John Capelle said later that he considered Orange and Rappahannock Counties to be also directly affected by Washington area growth patterns. “There’s a similar situation everywhere in the Planning District except for Madison County,” he said.) COG studies show Washington metropolitan area fringe counties experienced a 13 per cent growth rate between 1970 and 1975, according to Rogers. Fringe growth accounted for 58 per cent of total metropolitan area growth during the same period, she added. “You are getting a lot of bedroom, suburban type of growth,” Rogers maintained, noting that 70 per cent of population increase in the fringe counties resulted from outward migration while commuting from fringe counties to COG’s area of jurisdiction had skyrocketed with a 173 per cent increase. She added that fringe counties had also had a 300 per cent increase in construction activity between 1970 and 1975. Lower housing costs, a continuing preference for low density living, improved transportation with Interstate 66, decentralization of employment to outside the beltway and Washington’s sewer moratorium all combined to “create growth in your back yard,” Rogers told the Commissioners. This type of growth is not consistent with COG’s policy, she noted, and will result eventually in violations of federal air and water quality standards. Problems with controlling non-point pollution of water supplies will increase because of this dispersed development pattern, Rogers predicted. Housing industry in the metropolitan Washington area will not be able to meet the demands of even conservative estimates on future growth forecasts for 1990, according to Rogers. “This has strong implications in regard to the effect on your counties,” she advised the Commissioners, since people will spill out into the rural fringe counties in search of homes they can afford. The emphasis of COG policies is on “compact growth and conservation of resources,” she said. "We’d like to see people where service facilities exist or can be expanded rather than scattering residential growth all over the landscape and then having to chase it with services.” She informed the Commissioners that COG personnel would like to strengthen ties with Virginia counties surrounding the Washington area aiming towards a coordination of policy development and cooperation in pursuing common legislative interests in Richmond. She noted that COG’s concerns for rural conservation policy center on the relationships between land Beard To Visit George P. Beard, Jr., the Republican candidate for the House of Delegates from the 25th District, will be at the Rappahannock County courthouse on Monday, November 7 from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. to chat with voters prior to the election on Tuesday, November 8. use, transportation, air quality and water resources. Areas of special interest include preservation of “productive agricultural land where it can continue to exist,” river shore lines and water quality recharge areas. Stan Haworth, Warrenton representative on the Planning District, asked Ms. Rogers if she didn’t think her organization ‘‘missed the boat” by not preventing the Washington sewer (Continued on Page 3) Break-Ins At Amissville Two Amissville business establishments, Early’s Carpet Service and Jenkins’ Garage were broken into and burglarized last week, between closing Monday evening and Tuesday morning’s opening, October 25. At Early’s, money and vacuum cleaners, the more expensive models, according to Mrs. Early, were taken and a new four thousand dollar cash register was prized open and destroyed. Money and tools were taken from Jenkins’ Garage where entry was gained through a side window. Early’s building was entered by the front door which was forced open, apparently by a metal lever, which could also have been used on the cash register.

Town Meeting Planned Rev. Jennings Hobson and Rev. David Moore are the local prime movers behind the organization of Rappahannock County’s “town” meeting, scheduled for Saturday, November 12,g from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the courthouse. The purpose of the meeting, explained coordinator Doug Wilson, is to identify underlying challenges that face the community. Interested citizens are divided into morning workshop groups with half working on a song, story and symbol for the county while the other half addresses issues. During the afternoon session, participants draw up a list of “concrete proposals” for attacking major challenges, said Wilson. “Most of the proposals arrived at in other town meetings have been practical tasks—something a group of citizens can do. Only a few proposals have been ideas that have to be brought before the community’s governing body,” he reported. Wilson said that 40 town meetings already held in the Mid-Atlantic states have been “unifying experiences” that have left people in the community working together towards common goals. “This is an important opportunity for citizen input,” maintained Rev. Hobson. While county government meetings are open to the public, they are centered around specific issues and a set agenda. Hobson noted that Supervisor and Planning Commission sessions are not designed as a platform for citizens to speak about anything that happens to concern them. But, he added, town meetings are intended for just that purpose. Over twelve hundred communities and neighborhoods have participated in town meetings across the country since the project began during the Bicentennial, according to coordinator Wilson. He explained that the town meeting series is sponsored by the Institute of Cultural Affairs, a' nonprofit, tax exempt corporation. Wilson said that a single town meeting costs approximately SI200 and that a quarter of the amount was raised in the individual localities with $900 supplied by the Institute. Before participants leave the meeting, they will be given a document that details everything discussed and proposed during the session. “We found it’s crucial to have immediate feedback,” said Wilson. One week after the Rappahannock meeting, there will be an assembly in Charlottesville of representatives from all 77 mid-Atlantic town meetings. The purpose of the assembly is to offer an opportunity for sharing insights and wisdom on implementation, said Wilson. Deputies Attend Bomb and Explosive Seminar Rappahannock Sheriffs Department Deputies R. D. Hawkins and R. H. Jenkins, Jr. attended a two-day bomb and explosives seminar held at Central Shenandoah Criminal Justice Training center on October 26 and 27. The center is located on the campus of the Blue Ridge Community College, at Staunton. The State approved seminar dealt with bomb threats in industrial plants, schools, hospital, etc. and instructors included personnel from the U. S. Army E.O.D. unit at Fort Belvoir and special agents of the U. S. Treasury Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Bomb threats, search techniques, explosives and gunshot residue, regulation, of explosives were among subject matter studies and practical exercises included the demolition of junk vehicles at the Augusta county landfill. This was the first class of such nature held at the training center and those attending included Virginia State Police Personnel, various town police departments and county sheriffs departments. Harrisonburg channel 3 TV taped and carried a news release on this class. Madison Beagle Trials November 5 The fall events of the Madison Wildlife Association are rolling along with the Beagle Trials set for Saturday, November 5th. Scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. on the Ernest Yowell Farm, two miles west of Madison on the Ruth Road, the hunt offers a day of entertainment and fellowship with friends and neighbors. Dogs will be divided into two classes—13 inches and 15 inches with four prizes in each category. Gimaxing the second field trial of the season will be the announcement of a Grand Rappahannock Kcuu?

Tattoo Clinic Set The Blue Ridge Dog Training Club will hold its eighth tattoo clinic on Saturday, November 12 from 9 to 5\it Powhatan School in Boyce, y a. All dog owners are urged to take advantage of this opportunity to protect their pets. Appointments will be necessary. Mrs. Nancy Mantlo of Richn^ond wiU again do the tattbdTriff. ""She uses no tranquilizers, as the procedure is virtually painless. Mrs. Mantlo takes approximately 20 minutes to tattoo the owner’s social security number on the dog’s inside right flank. The fee for tattooing is $5 per dog. Registration of the owner’s social security number with the National Dog Registry in Carmel, N.Y. is strongly urged. There is a $25 one-time fee for this. Once your number is registered, it can be used for all the dogs you own during your lifetime. The NDR has an excellent record for returning lost dogs to their owners and is highly recommended by the Blue Ridge Dog Training Gub, the SPCA, and Action 81. Tattooing is recognized as the most effective preventative measure against dognapping. There is little an owner can do to locate and recover a stolen dog unless the dog possesses this permanent means of identification. These tattoos are a court-accepted proof of ownership. Several club members are available to answer questions about the clinic and to set up appointments.

Urbanites Flock To Country (Continued from Page 1) moratorium and allowing “all those people to move out...away from employment and transportation.” Fighting The American Dream She responded that COG was “up against the American dream” of low density living in trying to keep growth compact. “It’s hard for a voluntary organization of local governments to cope with...We have virtually no authority. We do not intervene in local government on planning and zoning matters.” "We know the problem” of unplanned growth, commented Fauquier representative Stevenson Mcllvaine. “We live with it every day...But what can we do about it? The state and the courts won’t give us,any authority. Do you have any new strategies that would be helpful to us?” he asked Ms. Rogers. “We have no magical solutions,” she replied, noting the lack of planning authority in Virginia as compared to Maryland. “Unless there is virtually complete consensus” among county citizens and on governing bodies, controlled growth cannot be achieved, according to Mcllvaine. “You can plan all you want...draw pretty maps ...You still end up reacting with no real control,” he maintained. “It’s a sad situation.” Planning Commission Chairman and Rappahannock representative E. P. Luke agreed. “We’re always on the defensive because we didn’t recognize potential problems...We can’t influence, can’t energize people in time.” “In Rappahannock, we’ve been talking about losing farm land, viable agriculture, for 17 years that I know of,” Luke continued. “Everyone’s talking but nothing is being done.” Mcllvaine suggested that COG representatives talk to other Planning District Commissions, affected by metropolitan growth of major cities. "If you find that they have the same problems that we have, maybe COG can put together a coalition effort aimed at Richmond...If we can muster a little power by all getting together, we might get something done” to secure legislative authority from the General Assembly that would allow more local control. John Capelle asked Rogers for a forecast on the Planning District’s growth over the next 20 years. She responded that she didn’t have the data necessary to make such a forecast but predicted that growth in the Rappahannock-Rapidan District would be influenced to a large extent by the success of Fairfax County in attracting new industry. If the job market there expands, it’s only a short commute to the Rappahannock-Rapitian District, she noted. “Bedroom development is expensive because you get the school kids and not the tax base,” interjected Fauquier representative Richard McNear. “I have a suggestion for a law change,” he added. “Live in the county where you work. That will solve all our problems.” Business Performance Improves The Virginia Business Report, a publication of the School of Business Administration of the College of William and Mary, says that September was the best business month in the state since March. Construction, electricity usage, new car registration and non-agricultural employment all “showed healthy increases when compared to Sept. 1976,” the report says. The state’s unemployment remained at 5.1 per cent, the same as a year ago, but still a full two points lower than the national rate of 7.1 per cent, the report says.

Mail St Front Royal Com Crib Makes Excellent Photo Gallery Byron and Mary Schumaker’s corn crib on their farm near Flint Hill is not the average rural out* building. In the last stages of extensive remodeling, it will soon house displays of work by Paul Caponigro, Arnold Newman and other names familiar to photography enthusiasts. Rappahannock’s first photographic gallery is Mary Schumaker’s labor of love. Going eighteen different ways at once, she has directed the transformation from corn crib to studio while supervising an eleven year old son, nine year old daughter, a new puppy, the family poodle and three cats. At the same time, she’s organized the household’s move from Capital Hill to Flint Hill over the summer and the closing of her gallery in D. C. Amazingly, everything was done in time for the Schumaker’s first -exhibit at their new headquarters last month. Unpacked boxes and piles of photographic equipment, evidence of the recent upheaval in moving, lay in two spare rooms on the second floor but the downstairs was a masterpiece. Frame after frame hung from the walls of dining room, hall, living room and den as the house was pressed into service as a substitute gallery in place of the "nearly finished com crib. Even a novice photographer can tell that the prints in the Schumaker’s exhibit are something special. Lighting, camera angle and composition combine to make the photographs come alive. The towering monoliths of Stonehenge, portraits of old men and small boys and country landscapes belong in another class from mom and dad’s snapshots with a Kodak instamatic. “Photographers need people who believe in them,’’ maintained Mary Schumaker. “We’re operating the gallery because we’re committed to making photography a respected art form.” Instead of the monthly exhibits she arranged at her Washington gallery, Mrs. Schumaker will display work by established photographers and promising beginners —Rappahannock New* Staff Photo MARY SCHUMAKER listens as her friend and fellow amateur photographer Eleanor Glattley points out an interesting feature in one of the prints that will be displayed for sale in the gallery. Mary plans to hold bi-monthly exhibits with works by both new and established photographic artists. every other month in Flint Hill. Her exhibits are first class and duplicate shows held in prestigious New York galleries. She expects to attract a number of her old steady customers into making the drive out from D. C. and hopes that local people will be interested enough to drop by. The Schumaker’s first showing was on a rainy Sunday afternoon—“a really crummy day,” Mary commented but still, about 25 people turned out. The Schumakers are not exactly newcomers to Rappahannock. They’ve been coming to the county since 1970 when they rented a cabin in Jenkins Hollow near Sperryville. Later, they bought their ‘‘mountain house” outside of Flint Hill. Mary recalled that it became harder and harder to drag the kids back to the city after a weekend of clean air, quiet and slow country living. “We loved it here,” she said but their cabin was accessible only with a four-wheel drive vehicle and wasn’t suitable for full-time residence. Then they noticed a “for sale” sign on the late Mrs. Fannie Eastham’s red brick home on Fodderstack Road, just outside of town. “We’d seen and admired the house for three years,” Mary remembered, “so we said ‘Let’s do it!’ ”. They put their “mountain house on the market and when it sold, used the money for the old Eastham place. Asked if the Schumakers would make Rappahannock their permanent home, Mary responded, astonishment written all over her face. With a wave of her arm, she indicated her new home—kitchen cabinets constructed from replaned floor boards pulled up from another part of the house, knobs on the cabinets bought three years ago at the Washington fourth of July celebration and carried around since, Spanish tiles put down in the old kitchen with special mud compound by her husband and son. “Are you kidding?” she replied. “After all this? No, we’re not speculators. Yes, we’re planning to stay.” —Rappahannock News Staff Photo THE SCHUMAKERS designed their corn crib photographic gallery with a spiral staircase, favorite perch for the stray cat that has adopted the family. Eventually, the upstairs will house exhibits and the downstairs will hold a darkroom.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3,1977 Honorable Choices Rappahannock voters will go to the polls on Tuesday to elect a new General Assembly Delegate from the 25th Legislative District for the first time in 20 years. Democrat John J. “Butch” Davies and Republican George Beard are fighting for French Slaughter’s old seat. Both are good men. Either one would ably represent us. They have conducted an exemplary campaign, appearing jointly on several occasions to address substantive issues rather than just shaking hands and kissing babies. Their opinions and stands are not widely divergent. Both appear to be middle-of-the-road-butleaning-towards-the-conservative-side candidates. The differences lie primarily in background and style. Davies is a young Culpeper lawyer. We’ve heard criticism directed against his candidacy because of his profession. We agree that government from the federal level on down is dangerously top heavy with lawyers. However, legislation is still written in “legaleses”, that almost foreign language only attorneys understand. Davies’ background gives him the edge in quickly assessing the potential impact of the raft of legislation passed by the General Assembly—over 1,000 bills during the last two month session with another thousand introduced but not passed. Beard is a Culpeper banker with years of experience in financial matters. His background gives him the edge in weighing budget questions—increasingly important issues as inflation continues to take bigger and bigger bites from both wallets and local tax coffers. The Rappahannock News will not endorse either “Butch” Davies or George Beard. We feel this District is lucky to have candidates of such high caliber. Too many elections boil down to choosing between the lesser of two evils. This is not the case here. Both men have the ability to serve with distinction in the House of Delegates. In addition, we feel that both would be approachable to their constituents and eager to follow the wishes of the folks back home. We urge all registered voters to go to the polls on Tuesday. No matter who wins in the race for the General Assembly seat, the 26th District will have a Delegate of whom it can feel proud. ...Yes To Bonds Also on the panel of choices next Tuesday are five state bond questions. The $125 million bond issues are good business for Virginia. While the bond issues are swamped under the marching and filling of statewide election contests, there will be five questions for voters to answer simply “yes” or “no” on the ballot next Tuesday. Each question is a separate bond issue. As approved by the 1977 General Assembly, the five bond issues break down into these categories: $86,475,000 for educational institutions, $21,525,000 for correctional institutions, $4,000,000 for mental health facilities, $5,000,000 for state park and recreational areas, and $8,000,000 for port facilities. Governor Mills A. Godwin and the Republican and Democratic candidates for every statewide office endorse buying general obligation bonds in Virginia’s tradition of fiscally sound government. This broad support for bonds demonstrates that bonds are a non-partisan proposal. The Virginia Constitution requires a balanced budget every year. Gov. Godwin had to cut state expenditures by about $113.5 million in the last budget and $73 million in the current budget just to keep from ending up with a deficit. Tax revenues at current levels of taxation are inadequate to finance the $125 million pricetag for urgently needed capital projects. Taxes would 'have to be raised to finance these" projects. Basically, Virginia is dbinfc what most homeowners do when they borrow money to buy or to build a home and then pay for it over a long period. With the inflation rate in the construction industry projected to be almost twice as much as the interest Virginia probably would pay on the bonds, a building delay would add substantially to the cost. Some of the projects were approved by the General Assembly seven years ago, but there was no money for construction. Bonds will get the projects completed much faster, and will save Virginians money. Vote “yes” for effective fiscal management in Virginia. Vote for the bonds. Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor We Need The ERA To the editor: Following are questions and answers about the often misunderstood Equal Rights Amendment. Q. Will the ERA deprive women of alimony and child support? A. No. In Virginia, both parents are already responsible for support of their children within their means. With the ERA these alimony and support payments will be based on individual circumstances, already the practice in most states. Q. Will the ERA force women to take a paying job and to provide half of the family income? A. There is no law in the United States nor in any state that forces anyone to work. Q. With the ERA, couldn’t women use their maiden names, and wouldn’t this “foul up” the deeds and records? A. Virginia has no statute requiring A wife to take her husband’s name; so the ERA would have absolutely no effect on this. Q. Can Virginia women be drafted into the National Guard and Federal Service for active duty now? A. Yes. Section 44-114.4 persently allows for women to be drafted into the National Guard to repel invasion of both foreign and domestic enemies within the states, in other states and they may be inducted into Federal Service for active duty. The ERA would mandate equal admittance standards and benefits in the military. Q. Will the ERA equalize women’s property rights? A. Yes. It will invalidate laws restricting women from establishing businesses, becoming guarantors or making contracts. Division and management of property will depend on need and skill, not sex. Q. Do women in Virginia need the ERA since the state constitution already has a revision which says “The right >to be free from any governmental discrimination upon the basis of religious conviction, race, color, sex, or national origin shall not be abridged, except that the mere separation of sexes shall not be considered discrimination.” A. Yes. The Supreme Court (Virginia) in Archer V. Mayes, ruled that Virginia’s state constitution “is no broader than the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the U.Si” The 14th. Amendment accords only a limited degree of equal protection to women, not full equality—far less than the equal protection it accords minorities. Q. Will the ERA deprive states of their sovereign right to make laws? A. No. The ERA respects a state’s rights and encourages states to conform their laws to the principle of equality. Services Board The monthly meeting of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board will be held Tuesday, Nov. 8, at 2 p.m. at the Virginia Baptist Home in Culpeper. COMMONPLACE THOUGHTS Why Henry Howell - i By ARTHUR W. ARUNDEL Publisher This newspaper last week endorsed Democrat Henry Howell to become Virginia’* next governor. And I have oeen in a running fight at home ever since trying to explain it to the conservative mother of our five children. she likes ■■■ %* ml John Dalton. ARUNDEL So do I, but not as governor for the next four years. I am going to vote next Tuesday for Henry Howell to become Virginia’s next Governor because it is time for a precise, if respectful, shakeup in this state’s established political order. We have been deeply blessed in this Com monwealth since the late Harry F. Byrd became Governor in the 1930’s with clean, honest and efficient state government, a remarkable legacy exemplified today by Senator Harry F. Byrd Jr. It is an uncorrupted record of government which few other states can lay claim to, notably including next door Maryland. But Virginia's political order, which has worked so well for so long from the State House to the Court House, has reached a dangerous stage. Its unwritten power and authority among old political associates now stretches unbroken from the Governor’s office through our senior Congressional delegation and through the top leadership of the General Assembly. We no longer have an effective separation of powers in Virginia, and are approaching a state of autocracy. On grounds of proven integrity, moral character and leadership, I would vote today for Mills Godwin, John Dalton, Harry Byrd Jr. or most of our senior conservative legislative leaders for any office in this state now—EXCEPT Governor. We are faced with an informal arrangement among nominal Democrats, Republicans and independents who hold every top office in the state—Governor, Lieutenant Governor, both our U. S. Senators and half our U. S. Congressmen. Separately, they are individuals of the highest character. Together they now possess a dangerous amont of authority and power. As philosophical brothers they have, and I think it is fair to say unintentionally, resisted change to a point at which the Commonwealth is creaking. Henry Howell would break this informal chair: Two specific examples. Virginia has long had an outstanding record in conservation of its natural resources but is seriously failing to move on a new age of environmental problems involving everything from water to highway and land use planning. Virginia has built a strong honest central state government, but now refuses in an increasingly complex age to return more authority to town, city and county government. Mr. Howell is committed to progressive change on these issues. Mr. Dalton specifically is not. What about worries that Henry Howell is going to tax, bankrupt and unionize Virginia, and bus its children somewhere else to school? In any other time with someone like Mr. Howell, these might be very real fears. But Henry Howell, if not in the Virginia tradition of gentlemen politicians, is an honest and good person. And the cold practical truth is that the Virginia General Assembly knows him so well, and is so strong and conservative, that it is just not going to tolerate or be bulldozed into any such constitutional or legislative revolution. So the reasons for Henry Howell’s election have nothing to do with conservative or liberal principals. They have nothing to do with profound recognition of and need for continuing the conservative principals represented by Senator Byrd. They DO have to do with the need for a restoration of a REAL balance of power in state government for the next four years. It is a change which conservatives and liberals alike will find healthy for Virginia. It might even be fun again to have some real * old political battles in Richmond. There is an old truth, relearned most recently during a recent conservative administration in Washington, that “power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Restoration of this healthy system of checks and balances is our best protection against that, and is the main reason for Henry Howell’s election next Tuesday. I hope our marriage survives next Tuesday. Mt. Salem Meeting The Mt. Salem Restoration Committee will hold its regular monthly meeting Thursday, Nov. 3, at 7:30 p.m. at Mt. Salem Church. Everyone is invited. • • By GEORGE BOWLES ; fapprtmixt W«w f«Twpnil»i In addition to electing a new governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general next week, the voters of Virginia will choose all 100 members of the House of Delegates. Many of these House races stir up more local interest in the balloting than those for the BOWLES Statewide offices. Indeed, whether the voter turnout is large or small on November 8 will be determined in many localities by whether or not there is a hot contest for the General Assembly seat. Both the Democratic and Republican leadership in the State will be eyeing the House of Delegates returns closely. They will not only determine the make-up of the 1978 session of the legislature, but will also provide valuable clues as to the philosophical drift of the Virginia citizenry. This will, in turn, have a heavy impact on political plans for the senatorial election of 1978 and others beyond. But Republicans and conservative Democrats are concerned by what they see as a steady moderation in the once bedrock conservatism of the Lower House. The retirement of such stalwarts of the right as Edward E. Lane (D-Richmond), Lewis A. McMurran (D-Newport News), Robert R. Gwathmey III (D-Hanover), George N. McMath (R-Accomack) and The ERA will no more take away the state’s rights to make laws than any other provision of the Constitution affects a state’s rights. MARY BETH MYERS MARTIN Ad Hoc Committee for the ERA Flint Hill On Amissville An Open Letter To The Board of Supervisors Reference: Rezoning Amissville, Virginia We wish to make this letter brief and to the point. We are for rezoning Amissville to RB-1. However, the outline map being presented to the Board of Supervisors should not have your approval because it does not show or include the true picture of Amissville. It is ridiculous to attempt to confine development to a village if you are not including the whole village. Early’s Carpet is not zoned RB-1. We are zoned A-l as the attached map (given to us in 1974) will prove. At this time we had to fight the zoning administration to erect a sign with our name. To our knowledge this zoning has not been changed since that date and the statement made by County Engineer, Fanning Baumgardner, as quoted in the Rappahannock News, dated 10-6-77, does not correspond with any records we have. If there is to be any rezoning of Amissville, we will expect to be RB-1 and every other business should be included.. Knowledgeable people know that the growth over the years has always been on Route 211 and we feel that is where it should be contained but it must be properly planned. This map is very disciminating and we would urge the board to send it back to the Planning commission to be revised to include all of Amisville. MR. AND MRS. J. F. EARLY D. French Slaughter (ICulpeper) will no doubt contribute to this shift It is likely that most of their replacements will be nearer the political center than the outgoing delegates they are replacing. In all, 10 Democrats, three Republicans and. one Independent will be giving up their seats, and the. state's GOP leadership sees this as opportunity to beef up, in at least a modest way, its admittedly anemic legislative delegation. At the present time there are 79 Democrats, 17 Republicans and four independents in the House of Delegates. This year, the GOP has 54 candidates in the field, 14 of whom are incumbents. The Democrats have 93 including 69 incumbents and there are 13 Independent candidates of whom three presently hold office. Understandably, Republican spokesmen deny that they are “targeting” any districts for special campaign effort, but it is clear they believe their chances are best in those districts in which no incumbent is running. High on the Republican want list of what they consider propbable wins is the 25th District seat which covers Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock Counties. The seat is being vacated by Slaughter, and is being hotly contested by Democrat John J. (Butch) Davies III and Republican George P. Beard Jr., both of Culpeper. Local observers give Beard the edge. Another hard-fought contest is underway in the 24th District for the seat to be relinquished by Gwathmey. In this two-member district, incumbent Democrat Lewis P. Fickett, Jr. of Fredericksburg and Democratic nominee D. Wayne O’Bryan of Glen Allen are being strongly challenged by Republicans F. C. (Duke) Zeller, Jr. of Fredericksburg and J. N. (Jim) Burkitt of Ashland. A fifth man in the race is Independent Robert H. Coats of Mechanicsville. A GOP spokesman said the campaign in the district, which includes Caroline, Hanover and Stafford Counties and the City of Fredericksburg, had not “come together” as he would have wished, but he still had hopes of picking up the seat. The Republicans also believe they can knock off the incumbents in several Districts. One of these is the three-seat 40th District at Virginia Beach. Incumbent Democrats Owen B. Pickett, Bernard G. Barrow and Glenn B. McClannan face challenges from Republicans Knox R. Burchett and W. R. (Buster) O’Brien. Another is the 50th District in Hampton where Democrats Richard M. Bagley and John D. Gray are said to be under serious attack by Republicans Charles Q. Buckwalter and C. E. (Ed) Knight, III. The GOP, of course, hopes to hang on to the 46th District seat in Accomack and Northampton Counties being vacated by Republican State Chairman George McMath. Republican Robert S. Bloxom and Independent Paul B. Merritt are locked in a tight race in that district. While technically running as an Independent, Merritt says he is a Democrat and will join the House Democratic Caucus if he is elected. The Republican leaders, however, will settle for relatively modest gains in die House. McMath says he would be happy if the GOP picked up eight seats, a goal which most observers would consider highly optimistic. Former State party chairman Richard Obenshain says he would settle for three seats, bringing the GOP delegation to 20.

OPEN EVERY DAY DAKDW GE9RGEP. ®EARD, Jr., Republican candidate for the House of Delegates, visited in Amissville last week, talking and listening to residents. He pinned “Beard buttons” on Charlie Compton, a farmer and on M. G. watts who has the barbershop there. Watts formerly had a shop in Culpeper and had cut Beard’s hair as a boy. Davies At Chester Gap Ponders Roads, Guns A recent questionnaire conducted by the National Rifle Association rates Democratic candidate for the General Assembly John J. “Butch” Davies as “A” while his Republican opponent George Beard ranked a “C” in their stands on gun control. Results of the questionnaire were revealed to citizens attending the Chester Gap rally held at the fire hall Friday evening. “I have written the National Rifle Association asking for details on Beard’s responses. I want to know how he has changed his stand,” Davies said. “Apparently in the questionnaire he has said things which he has not said in our public forums.” The NRA questionnaire rates Davies as “A—Solidly pro-gun, believes in the second amendment right.” The “C” rating received by Beard is explained: “Is in favor of legislation affecting only some handguns: licensing registration, and-or prohibiting manufacture and sale.” Davies said that a recent federal study showed that most crimes are NOT committed with cheap handguns and Saturday night specials. “Why do we need more laws when we can’t enforce those we have on the books?” Davies asked. The Democratic candidate told the Rappahannock County citizens he opposed “frivolous conditions which should not exist” in the General Assembly. He cited as an example resolutions which are being presented to the Assembly on the Panama Canal treaty. “Now what does our Assembly have to do with the canal? That is just a waste of tax payer’s money.” The candidate also pointed to the hours of debate spent last year by the assembly on a resolution against amnesty which was passed two weeks after the President granted amnesty to draft dodgers. “Now that’s frivolous, to waste time after the act is finished,” Davies said. Citizens attending the meeting expressed their concern over the maintenance of the road into the Chester Gap area. State officials have maintained that the road cannot be widened due to the failure to achieve certain right-of-ways. Yet citizens said that better maintenance of the road and the painting of white lines on either side of the road are necessary for safe driving conditions in the mountain fog. Davies called for a new road funding formula. “This is the kind of thing that your representative to the General Assembly can help you with. I can fight to see to it that the road is better maintained and the lines painted.” Davies also pledged his support of a bill which would require toll free, in-county telephone service. Citizens attending the meeting voiced their concern over long distance tolls within Rappahannock County. Mothers complained that if their youngsters missed a school bus or had to stay late after school, telephone calls home from Washington cost from 60 to 80 cents. A bill which was passed by the Assembly but vetoed by the governor during the last session would have eliminated in-county toll calls. Davies said that if elected he would work to have such legislation passed again. “But gubernatorial candidates have indicated that they would not veto such a measure, if it is passed again,” Davies said. The group also discussed problems with polling places in Rappahannock County, aid to volunteer fire departments, and the need for welfare reforms. “The time has come,” Davies told the gathering “for you to be represented by someone who is going to take the time to listen to what your problems are and try to do something about them. If I am elected I intend to do just that.” / Regional Health Office Staffed In a move to provide closer management of the drinking water supplies and sewage treatment plants in planning districts 8. 9 and 16, the State Health Department today opened a regional engineering office in Culpeper. The office is responsible for plan review, inspection and supervision of the areas’ 120 community water systems. Several noncommunity systems, such as summer camps and highway rest areas, also come under the preview of the Culpeper office. The public health engineers also share responsibility with the State Water Control Board for the 83 sewage treatment plants in the three planning districts that contain a population of about 1.2 million. John Capito, 31, is regional director. For the past seven years he served in the Norfolk regional office. He was regional director there last year. “The move was made so Cathy Ann's Wine Cheese Health Foods MW DM Front Royd, Vi. that we’d be in a position to respond quickly to problems that might arise,” he said. Previously, the areas’ water and sewage systems had been managed from the Richmond regional office but the size of the Culpeper region and its population growth made this an awkward arrangement. Capito will be assisted by Jeff Chapin, 25, and Kevin Krupa, 25. Mrs. Gertrude Hudson is staff secretary. In December another engineer, Jerry Higgins, will join the staff. Currently he’s completing graduate studies at the University of Virginia. It is projected that the staff will be increased to nine and ultimately to 19 engineers. The Culpeper office is located on the third floor of the A. P. Hill Building, 102 North Main Street. The phone number is 825-6772. Surprise Party A few of the goblins and witches around the town of Washington got together on Halloween and surprised a fellow goblin, Forrest Freeman, on his birthday with cake and witches brew. A real surprise, it was. The witches and goblins gobbling cake included Mrs. Rosie Freeman, Mrs. Bertha Freeman, Mrs. Margaret Poles, Mrs. Lillian Aylor, Miss Angela Grigsby, Mrs. Darlene Russell, Mrs. Rachel Aylor, Mrs. Bessie Grigsby, James Johnson, Mrs. Nancy Freeman and Marsha. Virginia To Open Job Camps According to information received from the Tennessee Valley Authority, that organization will soon open three Young Adult Conservation Camps in the southwestern part of Virginia, Eastern Tennessee and in northern Alabama. Opening of the camps will create some 300 jobs. Sponsored in cooperation with the Department of The Interior, the camps will be located in the Commonwealth, in the Clinchport-Duffield area of Scott County. Other camps will be located in the Oliver SpringsLake City area of Anderson County, Tenn., and in the Bear Creek WatershedRussellville area of Franklin County, Alabama.

comm YJOURNAL By NANCY SECRIST Extension Agent Now that we will be spending more money on heating our homes there are ways we can conserve energy in our daily routine. Use Clothes Dryer Wisely Energy can be conserved while drying your laundry in the dryer by using the following procedures: Separate dryer loads into light and heavy weight fabrics for faster and more uniform drying. Try reducing your regular drying cycle by 5 minutes or mqreT You may be overdrying you®. clothes. Overdrying wastjbs energy and shortens the life of the fabrics. Take advantage of residual dryer heat by running consecutive loads. Tumbling clothes in a dryer helps remove wrinkles and thus decreases the use of energy (human and electric) for ironing. Keep the dryer lint screen clean. Check the outside vent regularly also; a clogged vent reduces efficiency. Follow maintenance instructions listed in your owner’s manual. Small Cooking Appliances Can Help Save Energy Because small cooking appliances have enclosed heating elements, they often require less energy for a cooking job than an oven or surface unit of a range. Substitute small appliances for a range for some cooking jobs. An electric frypan is energy efficient and can be used for frying, baking, stewing, and broiling. For example, less energy is required to cook hamburgers on an electric frypan than on a surface unit of an electric stove. Coffeemakers and egg cookers are similarly efficient. Toasters, toaster ovens, and small broilers use less energy than an oven, primarily because they are small and there is less metal to get hot. Another versatile and energy-efficient kitchen utensil is the pressure cooker. Because cooking under pressure is done at higher temperatures, foods cook in one-third the time of conventional cooking methods. Oven cooking in plastic bags and in aluminum foil also reduces cooking time and thus saves energy. One Dish Meals Plan a few one-dish meals every week. Cooking a onedish dinner in an electric skillet for an hour costs about three cents for elec tricity. Cooking the same foods separately using the oven plus two stove top units increases the cost to nine cents. Pumpkin Pumpkin is a member of the squash family and is a good source of vitamin A. It can be substituted in any recipe using winter squash. Fresh pumpkin is far supperior to canned in taste and it’s preparation is simple. The pumpkin should be cut in half crosswise and the seeds and strings removed. Place in pan, shell side up and bake in 325 degree oven for about an hour. When pulp is tender and begins to fall apart, scrape from shell and put through a ricer or strainer. Try these two interesting recipes for pumpkin after you have made that favorite pumpkin pie. Pumpkin Soup 2 tsp. finely chopped onion 2 tsp. butter 1 cup pumpkin 2 & two thirds cups hot chicken stock 1 cup light cream 1 tablespoon flour 1 tsp. salt */• tsp. each ground mace and ground ginger Chopped chives or parsley Directions: Cook onion in butter until soft, about two minutes.

Working time: 20 Minutes. Baking time 45 to 50 minutes. 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust 6 cups tart cooking apples, peeled, cored and sliced (about 2 pounds) 1 cup sugar 2 tablespoons all purpose flour 1 teaspoon lemon juice Vi teaspoon ground cinnamon Vi teaspoon ground nutmeg Vi teaspoon salt Vi cup all purpose flour Vi cup firmly packed brown sugar 3 tablespoons butter or margarine Prepare pie crust according to recipe or package directions. In a large bowl toss apples with sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, lemon juice and seasonings until well coated. Spoon into pie shell. In small bowl combine Vx cup flour and brown sugar. Cut in butter with pastry blender of fork until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over apples. Place pie in large brown heavy duty paper bag. Fold open end over twice. Seal with large paper clips. Preheat oven, 400 degrees F. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until topping is golden brown. If pie pan is sticky when removed from the paper bag, it may be placed in a clean pie pan for serving. One nice feature about this pie is that if it boils over, the juice will be in the bag and there will be no oven cleaning chore afterwards. Employment Service The Virginia Employment Commission is planning to offer, on a pilot basis, a new service to Virginians: a job placement bureau for farm positions, historically ignored by placement services. Listings from both employers and prospective employees may be made confidentially. Although there are no degree requirements for applicants, the commission anticipates that most of the positions will be permanent ones at management level. The impetus for this project came from the Virginia Chamber of Commerce, which recommended the formation of a committee to plan the service. Dr. C. W. Goldsborough Dr. F. L.

Trout Meeting Set The Rapidan Chapter of Trout Unlimited will hold its next meeting on Monday, November 14, at 8 p.m. in the old Jefferson Savings and, Loan Association building in the Northern Virginia Shopping Center, Warrenton. The Rapidan, Virginia’s 8th chapter of Trout Unlimited, was formally organized on October 10 when Henry N. “Hank” Woolman of The Plains, was elected president. Dr. Arch Wagner of Warrenton was elected vice-president. The chapter is named for the headwaters of the Rapidan River where native brook trout reside in the Shanandoah National Park sections of the stream. The chapter’s territory extends from the Rapidan in Madison county to Frederick county including Loudoun, Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper, Garke, Stafford, Prince William and Spotsylvania counties. The purpose of Trout Unlimited is to “enhance, preserve and protect cold water fisheries” with the primary goal of “managing the resource for the trout, not the fisherman.” At the November meeting, Chris Powell of the Smithsonian Fish Department and Allen Hoover of the Virginia Trout Unlimited Capital chapter in Richmond will be guest speakers. Also elected at the October organizational meeting were: Tom Addcox of Reston as secretary-treasurer. Elected as directors were: Jane Wagner, of Warrenton, for conservation; Harrison O’Connor, of Upperville, projects; Bruce Sheppard, of Madison, fisheries development; Douglas Lees, of Warrenton, projects and public relations; David Myers, of Madison, water quality surveillance; Henry F.

Another Bit Of Americana Disappears The dismissal bell is tolling for those one-room schoolhouses that once dotted the American landscape. At the end of World War II, the nation had more than 85,000. Today perhaps only 1,000 of the simple wooden buildings survive, the National Geographic Society reports. Surrounded by nostalgia, one-room schoolhouses call to mind carefree barefoot days, shy, tentative first flirtations, and an occasional day of hooky spent at the ol’ swimmin’ hole. Presiding over all this was a stern but lovable schoolmarm who patiently drilled home the time-honored 3 Rs. Strong Emotions Aroused “These kids today don’t know what they’re missin’,” say oldtimers who lament the passing of the little red structures. “They don’t know how lucky they are,’’ counter those impressed by the facilities available in modern rural schools. A case can be made for both views, but there’s no disputing the fact that at the turn of the century the typical little red schoolhouse — it was more often white—left a lot to be desired. Poorly lighted, the classrooms reeked of kerosene, oil-mopped floors, chalk dust, perspiration, damp wood, and chlorine bleach. It took about a gallon of bleach each day to sanitize the nearby privy. The children who attended the board and log cabin schools of colonial times had it even rougher. The buildings were primitive and small, roughly 18 by 20 feet. Low ceilings and few windows resulted in poor ventilation and a stifling atmosphere that made it not only hard to learn, but as one 18th-century pupil put it, “a toil to exist.” Heat in the winter came from a single fireplace; the closest students nearly roasted while those at a distance had their noses turn blue and their ink congeal. Big pot-bellied stoves later changed all that. Some can still be found in the middle of country classrooms. But in the view of a teacher at a small one-room school in eastern Kentucky, it’s education and not central heating that counts. “We’ve made minets, carpenters, farmers, engineers, mechanics, doctors, and a lawyer—even a few professional fox hunters—right here in this room,’’ he said. “It may seem like we don’t get as much schooling done, but when it comes to standardized tests the kids from here do as well as or better than the other children in the county.” In winter, students’ skis on the porch and the teacher’s snowmobile in the yard signal “school in session’’ at a oneroom cabin in a remote part of Washington state. Some of the youngsters ski five miles to the school. Such inconveniences matter little to the children and adults who show fierce devotion to the fastdiminishing one-room schools. As a Montana man summed it up: “It’s more leisurely here, and the kids can be part of nature instead of just traveling through it on a bus. Sure they don’t get to mingle with a lot of other children, but they can catch up on that later.” Thanks I would like to express my appreciation to everyone for' their cards, flowers and visits while I was a patient in Warren Memorial Hospital.

Box 38 Washington, Va. 22747 Long Legs Cause Big Problems The death of Victor, the giraffe who fell spread-eagled at a British zoo recently and couldn’t regain his feet, dramatized a weakness of the world’s tallest animal. When an 18-foot giraffe slips, it’s a long way down and an even longer way back up. Victor weighed a ton, and in the five days before he succumbed everything from airbags to a specially built hoist was tried to get him standing again. The zoo’s owner, John Knowles, told reporters that if the efforts had succeeded, Victor would have been “the first giraffe as far as I know to have done the splits and lived.” Sleep Standing Up Normally when a giraffe lies down it must go through a laborious process of tucking its hind legs under its body, when folding those long front legs. Some have been observed to sleep standing up, possible to avoid all that bother. These ungainly-appearing giants have intrigued onlookers since ancient Egyptians put them on display in zoos. In 46 B.C. Julius Caesar brought one to Rome. Because it was as big as a camel and was spotted like a leopard, the poet Horace deduced that it was a hybrid of the two. From that bit of unnatural history came the species’ modern scientific name, Giraffa Camelopardalis. Actually, a giraffe’s physiology is almost as strange as Roman theories. Bristol Foster has studied herds of giraffes in Kenya at length. In a recent issue of National Geographic, Dr. Foster described how evolution "has modified the giraffe’s anatomy to allow this stretched-version mammal to function.” A giraffe’s elongated neck has only seven vertebrae1—the same as man’s. But in the giraffe, each one is eight inches long. To compensate for all the dead air space in that long throat, the animal has oversize lungs. “Without this extra airpumping capacity,” Dr. Foster explains, “a giraffe would breathe the same used air over and over.” High Blood Pressure “To drive blood eight feet up to the head,” he adds, “the heart is exceptionally large and thick-muscled, and the blood pressure—twice or three times that of man—is probably the highest in any animal.” Biologists once wondered how a giraffe avoided a fatal hemorrhage when it lowered its neck to drink water. “To withstand the surge of blood to and from the brain as its neck sweeps up and down,” Dr. Foster says, “the giraffe has developed control valves in the jugular veins and a special network of blood vessels in its head.” Like others who have studied giraffes, he was impressed by their grace and gentleness. A giraffe’s slow, stately stride is deceptive; those long legs carry it over the ground at speeds up to 35 miles an hour, faster than most large animals can run. But its legs are also the giraffe’s weakness. It cannot reach a water hole without spraddling its front legs wide apart. In this awkward position, a giraffe can be killed by a stalking lion.

Old Bird Gains New Image 4-H Activities Turkey producers feel they have the Thanksgiving market in th6 bag. Now they’re working on the rest of the year. Processors recently have been offering consumers something besides the traditional roast turkey to chew on: turkey ham. salami, bologna, pastrami, sausage, hot dogs, and even turkey burgers. Americans seem to be buying the idea, says Ken Klippen of the National Turkey Federation. "But it has been an uphill climb,” he said. The turkey federation is now conducting a survey to find out why Americans have always pigeon-holed turkey, the National Geographic Society reports. Promoters of the bird-fbr-all-seasons idea have taken *heart over statistics showing that people are now eating as much of the newer forms as they are of the holiday version. Medium Ran TwktjfT Encouraging the public to make turkey a year-round dish has been the object of an advertising campaign touting such delights as barbecued turkey, turkey shish kebabs, turkey reuben sandwiches, “gobbler” salad, and turkey chow mein. Turkey steaks, made from the breast, are said to be pushing the veal out of veal scallopini. The ultimate hope, of course, is to grab a larger slice of meat sales in the United States. Last year each American ate an average 9.2 pounds of turkey, compared with 43.7 pounds of chicken, 54.1 of pork, and a whopping 95.4 pounds of beef. A large portion of the campaign has featured turkey ham, which is turkey thigh meat that has been seasoned, cured, and smoked just like pork ham. According to the turkey federation, pork ham has 79 per cent more fat that turkey ham, 8 per cent less protein, 22.8 per cent more calories, and costs 34 per cent more. Turkey ham doesn’t seem to be a standard delicatessen fare yet. “No, I’ve never heard of turkey ham,” declared the proprietor of a kosher delicatessen in Washington, D. C. “And if we did sell it, we couldn’t call it ham.” About 138 million turkeys are expected to get the ax this year in the United States, one per cent fewer than last year. Because of the drop in production, holiday turkey prices probably will be four or five cents a pound higher than last year’s. Breeden Walking On Eggs If turkeys are tense this time of year, their breeders are probably even more nervous as payoff day comes for their delicate crop. Turkeys are four times more susceptible to colds than people are. Cholera, blue comb, and other fatal fowl diseases also can flash through a flock in a few hours. Next to predators such as foxes and owls, turkeys are their own worst enemies. Spats often break out at the feed trough, and when other turkeys rush in a noisy riot can ensue. If, in the contest, one turkey comes out with a bloody spot, the others will peck at it, eventually pecking the bird to death. The stupidity of a turkey, combined with curiosity rivaling a cat’s, can be fatal. Turkeys have been known to suffocate after climbing into a empty barrel to inspect it or stampede just to take a gander at a lone toad hopping across the barnyard. DMVs Close All Division of Motor Vehicle offices and driver’s testing stations will be closed Tuesday, November 8, Election Day, and Friday, November 11, Veterans’ Day. Many vehicle license agencies will be open those days, however, and DMV suggests you call first to be sure. Driver testing stations will be open according to their regular schedules on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, November 7, 9 and 10. At oar first 4-H meeting in the fourth grade our group elected officers for the coming year. Elected were: Brett Anderson, president; Wendy Burke, vice president; Chuck Larimer, secretary; Chris Martin, reporter and Rosalind Cook, song leader. We received our 4-H booklets, said the club pledge and then discussed what we would do at our next meeting.
