HlGa;.J2MD i91 2321 Supervisors Deny Welfare Requests No Additional Funds For Companion Services By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock Supervisors decided at last Thursday’s Board meeting to relieve only part of the Welfare Department’s financial problems. Public Assistance Director Elizabeth Buntin asked the Supervisors for S3,400 to cover shortages in local money for both mandatory and optional programs. The Supervisors appropriated enough for one mandatory category—purchased services—and left another mandatory category with its deficit intact while denying funds for the operation of the county Welfare Department’s only optional program. Before Mrs. Buntin began her explanation of how the shortages occurred, Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke asked her “to go back to budget time” when Mrs. Buntin first brought her requests for the current year before the Board. Mrs. Buntin responded that all budget matters pertaining to her department were “decided before 1 got up here. I had no input.” Admitting that her charges were correct, Luke said it was his "impression that we voted for the total welfare budget...I don’t think we said we would cut it.” He added that any mistakes made by the accountant in transferring data from the state required Welfare budget format to the forms used by the county were “inadvertant.” (In presenting budget problems at the Welfare Board’s September meeting, Mrs. Buntin explained that mistakes in transferring figures from welfare to county budget forms had resulted in a deficit in local funds for assistance and administration. She said she had subtracted the federal and state share from the total assistance and administration budget to arrive at the inferred local share. The “inferred” local share is $582 more than the amount actually appropriated by the county in this category.) In response to Luke’s failure to remember any cuts in Welfare budget proposals, Mrs. Buntin said she recalled the Supervisors discussing the purchased services section of the budget and maintaining that $20,000 would be enough to cover this category. (Both optional Companion Services and mandatory day care and foster care currently show deficits and both are in purchased services category. Mrs. Buntin had asked for almost $40,000 in her proposed budget for purchased services.) More Money For Welfare? “The question here this morning is whether we’re going to vote more money to the Welfare Department,” interjected Supervisor H. B. Wood, adding that the Board still wouldn’t understand where the funds were going or why. “I think you will,” answered Mrs. Buntin. “I’d like to go into it enough.” "How long is it going to take?” askfd Wood. ‘‘Only about a half an hour,” answered Mrs. Buntin. Luke stated that he didn’t think further explanations would help. He asked if any of the shortages affected children and if so, how much money was involved. Title 20 day care and foster care and Work Incentive (WIN) day care programs all involve children and were all affected by the Supervisor's cut in purchased services appropriations, according to Mrs. Buntin. She added that she wasn’t prepared to give Luke exact figures on the amount lacking in each category. As to the appropriations in other sections of the Welfare budget, continued Mrs. Buntin, “we need it all, every bit.” She told the Supervisors that it wasn’t possible to borrow funds for Companion Services from any other category, except possibly regular foster care “and that depends on whether our case load remains the same.” “You cannot run the Welfare budget like you run anv other budget,” Mrs. Buntin maintained, “because it is impossible to project expenditures accurately.” She told the Supervisors that their only option in appropriating additional (Continued on Page 10) School Board Gets Good News, Davis Says Not Liable For Upgrading Sewer Plant After a second candidate for elementary assistant principal turned down the job last week, tfce Rappahannock School Board members needed to find something to smile about. They got it at Tuesday’s School Board meeting in an opinion from Commonwealth Attorney George Davis. According to Davis’ interpretation of the Virginia Code, the State Water Control Board (SWCB) cannot force the county School Board to undertake expensive renovations on the elementary school’s sewage treatment plant without also supplying funds for the job. Superintendent William Bloomer presented the School Board members with copies of correspondence between Davis and Bloomer and Davis and the SWCB Assistant Executive. In a letter dated November 1, Bloomer asked George Davis for his opinion on the SWCB’s legal authority and liability of the School Board if effluent from the Rappahannock Elementary School exceeds permit limits. Bloomer also asked which take precedence — state or federal discharge guidelines — and requested Davis’ recommendation on action for the School Board to follow. Bloomer gave the School Board members a copy last . night of George Davis’ letter dated November 7 to R. V. Davis, Assistant executive of the SWCB. In the letter, excerpting extensively from the Virginia Code to back up his argument, Davis maintained that the SWCB has no power to require the School Board to upgrade the sewage treatment plant as long as the lagoon is meeting its original certification requirements. The lagoon’s failure to meet new effluent standards adopted by the SWCB in June is not grounds for the SWCB to require that the facility be updated,, according to Rappahannock’s Commonwealth miorney. He maintained that the SWCB only had this authority when existing sewage systems cease to perform in accordance with their approved certificate requirements. It appears that levels for suspended solids and biological oxygen demand (BOD) for the months of March and June “are well within the limitations imposed by the certification and permit expiring June 30, 1977,” said Davis in his letter to the SWCB executive. Davis continued he was advising Dr. Bloomer that the School Board “has no responsibility to upgrade the present level of treatment unless the Water Control Board shall have previously committed itself to provide financial assistance or unless directed by the Water Control Board with the concurrence of the Governor to proceed with such upgrading construction subject to reimbursement.” “I’m sure we’ll get some kind of answer” from the SWCB, said Dr. Bloomer at Tuesday’s meeting. “What kind, I’m not sure.” He advised the School Board members to wait for a response from Water Control Board personnel before taking any further action on upgrading the elementary school plant. Bloomer reported that he and School Board member Paul Nichols had checked the lagoon site. “We have another eight, nine inches, maybe a foot, before we have to discharge. He added that samples will be taken in the next couple of days and analyzed to determine if the system is still meeting its original certification limits. After over an hour in executive session for “discipline and personnel matters,” the School Board came back into open meeting. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie announced that the Board had discussed a personnel item but added no specifics. Dr. Bloomer said later that the position of elementary principal at the Rappahannock Elementary School is still vacant. daphne McCullough County Gets $6000 The Rappahannock Supervisors got some good news and some bad news at last Thursday’s Board meeting as they dealt with routine agenda items. The good news is that the county has received some unexpected—and unbudgeted—money from the federal government and the had news is that another bundle of federal dollars —also unbudgeted—will be less than originally anticipated. Chairman E. P. Luke told the Supervisors that Rappahannock has received $6,000 in "anti-recessionary funds." He explained that the money is part of a program designed to ease financial pressures brought by unemployment. Localities with unemployment levels above the national average have first priority on the antirecession funds with the remainder prorated to other counties, according to Luke. He noted that Rappahannock must commit its $6,000 share within 120 days and suggested that the money be put into the school fund in {dace of a transfer from the general fund of the same amount. The Board voted unanimous approval to Luke’s proposal. County Shortchanged In regard to a second check for approximately $6,000 that the Supervisors received last month, Luke noted that it was part of a federal “in lieu of taxes” payment program, intended to reimburse localities for tax revenues lost from federally owned land. Rappahannock County received its S6.000 as payment on about 9,000 acres, interjected Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Executive Director John Capelle. The county had expected to get a lot more but a ruling by the Bureau of Land Management limited payments to land that was acquired by the federal government from private owners, according to Luke. Currently, land transferred from the state to federal ownership is ineligible for payments in lieu of taxes. This unfairly affects a number of Virginia counties since state authorities purchased land from private citizens in an attempt to facilitate eventual transfer to federal ownership, maintained Luke. He told the Board that Capelle’s Planning District office had volunteered to help Rappahannock and the other counties in the District with land inside Shenandoah Park boundaries in pursuing efforts to have the Bureau of Land Management’s ruling changed. Rappahannock was supposed to get $24,047.25 instead of just $6,000, according to Capelle. “There is a mechanism to protest this ruling...You may not get it back this year but the program is a continuing one. You need to do something so you won’t be shortchanged again next year,” he advised. The Supervisors approved efforts by Capelle to work with Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson in securing the additional $18,000 for the county. Holiday* And Festivals Luke reported on two requests from Rappahannock Circuit Court Judge Rayner V. Snead—the first for a county holiday on the Friday following Thanksgiving and the second for consideration of a “festival ordinance.” With little discussion, the Supervisors voted unanimously to declare the Friday after Thanksgiving a holiday for county employees. (Continued on Page 10) Water Is Back The springs that supply the town of Washington’s water have been revived by recent rainfall, according to Mayor Newbill Miller. There is now an ample supply for the town residents to resume normal use. Miller urges everyone who switched to private water sources during the shortage to switch back to the public system to avoid any possible pollution problems. Governor Of Virginia Lieutenant Governor Attorney General House of Delegates JOHN N. DALTON Republican CHARLES S. ROBB Democrat J. MARSHALL COLEMAN Republican GEORGE BEARD Republican _ Dalton Is Elected Beard Wins By 39 Votes Republican John N. Dalton, 46, of Radford won the Virginia governor’s race Tuesday over Democrat Henry N. Howell, 57, of Norfolk. It was a proud victory for Lieutenant Governor Dalton who had the support of Republican Governor Mills E. Godwin whom he will succeed. Dalton is the adopted son of Ted Dalton who twice ran unsuccessfully for governor. Howell, populist scourge of “the Big Boys” including the state’s major utilities, lost despite the active support of President Jimmy Carter and other national Democratic leaders. With 76 per cent of the state’s precincts reporting the vote was Dalton 539,617 or 56.4 per cent to Howell’s 409,173. It was Howell’s third try for the governor’s office and third loss. But Democrat Charles S. Robb, 38, of Fairfax County won easily over his Republican opponent, state senator A. Joseph Canada Jr., 39, of Virginia Beach. It was Robb’s first bid for elective office, and incomplete returns showed him ahead 433,233 or 54 per cent to Canada’s 369,494. Republican J. Marshall Coleman, 34, of Staunton won an upset over longtime Democratic delegate, Edward E. Lane, 53, of Richmond. Coleman forged ahead with 421,924 votes to Lane’s 373,973. The five general obligation bond questions apparently were headed to passage throughout the state on the basis of early counts Tuesday night. Tuesday’s election in the 25th District for the delegate’s seat turned out to be a real squeaker with Republican candidate George Beard eking out a 39 ballot victory over Democrat John “Butch” Davies. Davies conceded the election to Beard, saying that everyone should join forces, pull together and support Beard as Delegate. More than 1600 voters went to the polls in Rappahannock, making the election a large turnout. Davies carried Rappahannock with 914 votes and Beard was given 708. Davies also carried Madison and Orange counties, in addition to Rappahannock, while Beard garnered his victory majority from Culpeper County, 3246 to Davies’ 2649. Rappahannock was being monitored in the election as a typical cross section of population, but did not conform to its usual pattern. Nor did the old saying “as goes Stonewall District, so goes the state.” (See chart.) Though Republican John Dalton became the governorelect, Rappahannock supported Henry Howell, Democrat, with 849 compared to 779 for Dalton. Charles “Chuck” Robb carried Rappahannock along with the State. The local tally was 957 for Democrat Robb and 654 for Rpublican Joe Canada, Jr. In the bid for Attorney General, J. Marshall Coleman was the victor in Virginia, but in Rappahannock he fell behind with 750 ballots as compared to Democrat Edward Lane’s 813. Rappahannock supported all of the bond sections except the Ports Authority which received 662 no’s to 610 yes’. The bond issue passed in the state.

Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke reported that he had received several letters over the last month, protesting the boundaries recommended by the Planners. He noted that the Planning Commission had held a public hearing several months ago on the proposed boundaries. "I think it was poorly attended by the pebple from Amissville,” Luke commented. He read a letter from Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Early, charging that the boundaries recommended by the Planners were disdminatory. The Early’s also took exception to a statement made by Fanning Baumgardner at the last Planner’s meeting. Baumgardner maintained then that Early’s Carpet was zoned RB-1. Mr. and Mrs. Early insisted in their letter that the property is zoned agricultural. Commonwealth Attorney George Davis told the Supervisors that he was under the impression that Early’s Carpet had been “spot zoned" business and commercial, along with all other existing businesses, when the Zoning Ordinance was adopted. “They tell you one thing..Then something else,” interjected Mrs. Early. “It’s just not logical.” She recalled that the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA), in approving a sign for Early’s Carpet, had followed special use permit regulations that apply in an agricultural zone. She added that records in the Commissioner of Revenue’s office also show the property as agricultural. Luke said it was his impression that all existing businesses in the county were zoned “according to the use at that time’’ when the Zoning Ordinance was adopted. However, he acknowledged that he was at the BZA meeting when the Early’s application for a sign was considered and agreed with Mrs. Early that they had been told their property was zoned A-l. He suggested that the question of expanded boundaries for the village of Amissville be sent back to the Planners for restudy and added that any public It hearings on the subject should be held at night in the village instead of the Courthouse in Washington. Applause from several Amissville residents at the meeting greeted Luke’s proposal. Supervisor Dick Latham interjected that the Supervisors had not requested the Planning Commission to rezone the village. Capt. Luther Stuart, Amissville resident and former Chairman of the Planners, noted that he had been on the Planning Commission when the Zoning Ordinance was adopted. Amissville wasn’t included in an RB-1 zone then because the village “didn’t meet the criteria” established in the ordinance for such zones, according to Stuart. “I saw no need for Amissville to be RB-1 then and I don't now,” he said. After the Supervisors voted unanimously to send the Amissville rezoning issue back to the Planners for restudy, Davis made one last comment. The Commonwealth Attorney said he was sure in his own mind that Early’s Carpet had been designated commercial and business on the county zoning map drawn when the ordinance was approved. “I know it was colored yellow because I colored it yellow,” he concluded. Road Bids Due Bids for the final 3.1 miles of Arterial 211 in Rappahannock County will be received Tuesday, November 22, in Richmond by the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. Bids for the work near Amissville will include grading, draining and paving 3.1 miles of parallel two-lane roadway to close the final gap and complete construction between Warrenton and Washington.

SHOW & SALE AT MALL AT MANASSAS Hunting Laws Strictly Enforced A strong increased effort by National Park Rangers to protect Shenandoah National Park’s bear and deer populations during this forthcoming hunting season has been announced by Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen. “Shenandoah National Park protects one of the most abundant populations of deer and bear in the State,” said Jacobsen. “Because of this, many hunters plan to hunt as close to the Park’s boundary line as possible, and numerous incidents have occured in which hunters have entered the Park illegally. The use of packs of hunting dogs further complicates the Park’s protection problem, as dogs do not recognize differences in land ownership and, upon occasion, are used to chase game out of the Park onto State or private lands where they can be legally taken,” said Jacobsen. Some of the increased protection measures this year will include the use of special law enforcement teams and electronic and aerial surveillance. Road inspection stations will be established on several Park roads to monitor hunters and vehicles traveling across Park lands to reach legal hunting lands outside of the Park. Persons found illegally hunting in the Park will be prosecuted under Title 16 of the United States Code. Those found guilty face fines up to S500, imprisonment not to exceed six months, and forfeiture of any vehicles or guns used in the hunting offense. Hunters using dogs are asked to be especially watchful that their animals do not pursue game in the Park, as Federal regulations prohibiting such activity will be vigorously enforced.

Under the provision of this bill a normal crop acreage will be established. This normal crop acreage (NCA) is based on the acreage of wheat, barley, corn, grain sorghum, oats, soybeans, and rye that was planted in 1977. The 1978 wheat set-aside program is a voluntary program. It is a producer’s choice to participate or not to participate. By participating a farm becomes eligible . for deficiency payments, disaster payments and price support loans. There will be no payment for set-aside acreage. The following requirements must be met in order for a farm to be eligible for benefits: 1. Must set-aside or remove from crop production an acreage of land equal to 20 per cent of the 1978 wheat planted acreage for harvest as grain. Note that the set aside amount is based on wheat plantings for harvest in 1978. The set-aside land must be devoted to approved vegetative cover crop such as annual or perennial grasses and legumes or small grain which is not allowed to mature. 2. The total acreage of corn, grain sorghum, wheat, barley, rye, oats, cotton, and soybeans plus the set-aside land cannot exceed the normal crop acreage established for the farm. It is very important that every producer in Rappahannock County report all crops planted on your farm. This is necessary so that the normal crop acreage can be established for each reporting farm. Failure to report 1977 crop plantings will result in a producer being ineligible for program benefits. If you plan to grow wheat and wish to be eligible for program benefits, please contact the Rappahannock County ASCS Office if you have any questions. 4 BIG DAYS ... WED., THURS., FRI. & SAT.

Main St. Culpeper, Va. 825-0011 Parent's Help Needed Parents of school aged children could play a significant role in reducing a rising tide of public school violence and vandalism, national and state authorities told 500 teachers in Roanoke last weekend, (Nov. 3-5). Nationwide last year students assaulted 70,000 teachers and far more of their classmates and caused $600 million damage to school property. Concerned about increasing school crime and more frequent disruptions in the classroom, the Virginia Education Association financed the three-day, indepth instructional symposium to find ways to reduce the current trend. FBI Director Clarence M. Kelley, keynoting the educators’ conference, said, “Unfortunately, many Americans have a tendency to shelter their children from fthe facts of life.” There is no better time to inculcate the crime resistance habit in Americans than when they are young,” the FBI director said; however, the problems of crime “are not sufficiently discussed in the family” and “the burden has fallen on...educators.” In a similar vein of parental abrogation of responsibility, Dr. John Buckman, University of Virginia professor of psychiatry, said parents are telling schools to say “No” to their children instead of doing it themselves. “There is a mistaken idea (by parents) that what the child really longs for is total freedom.” Buckman said. “In fact, this frightens him most of all and parental attitudes of permissiveness are often seen by the child as noncaring.” For the future, he said, we need to help expectant parents “develop more realistic attitudes about parent-child relationships, about responsibilities, about example, guidance and control.” Violence on television was seen as a major factor provoking students’ classroom misbehavior by Mrs. Fritz Kahn, secretary of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers. She suggested that parents monitor their children’s viewing habits, hold advertisers accountable for the type of programming they sponsor and let local TV stations know they disapprove of shows depicting excessive violence. Children often fail to make the distinction between what is shown on TV and what goes on in real life, she said. Parents should explain the difference, stress that violence does not solve problems and point out the value of negotiations, compromise and discussion, which is seldom shown on TV, she added. If parents and other adults used school buildings for more community, non-school functions, vandalism would decrease demonstrably, said Dr. E. B. Howerton, Jr., of the Virginia State Department of Education. Where a sense of community “ownership” of the schools is felt, destruction of school property falls off significantly, he said, and dollars spent for repairs to property can be switched to helping children learn better. Parents should make the distinction in punishment and corrections between the child himself and the action being punished says Dr. John Mesinger, professor of education at the University of Virginia. “Don’t disapprove of what a child is, disapprove of what he does,” he advised. The most important part of a child’s self-concept is what his parents think of him, and the child’s selfconcept is a major factor in how the child acts, Mesinger said. Good behavior should be praised, he added. “The current trend must be reversed if the schools are to provide an atmosphere on a daily basis which is conducive for teaching and learning,” said VEA President Mary Hatwood Futrell. “We call upon the community as a whole, parents in particular, to help bring violence and destructive behavior in the school under control. Teachers cannot do the job alone.” RCES Menu NOVEMBER 14-18 Monday Pizza, string beans, pineapple and grapefruit, cookie, bread and butter, milk.

Published by Warranton Priming e PuMeNnfl Company. Inc. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10,1977 False Economy Five elderly Rappahannock residents — all with monthly incomes BELOW S200 per month and all natives of the county who have worked and paid taxes here for most of their lives — may end up as Medicaid patients in nursing homes as a direct result of action taken by the Rappahannock Supervisors last Thursday. The Supervisors voted to deny $2,000 necessary for the operation of the county Welfare Department’s op* tional Companion Services program, as well as $582 to cover shortages in the administration and assistance category. At Thursday’s Board meeting, Public Assistance Director Elizabeth Buntin tried to explain her department’s budget problems as the Supervisors sat with ill-disguised impatience. (Part of the shortfall is due to difficulties in transferring budget information from state required Welfare forms to the budget format used by the county and part of the shortfall is due to cuts that the Chairman of the Supervisors couldn’t even remember.) After first attempting to vote on Mrs. Buntin’s request for S3,400 without hearing any explanation at all, the Supervisors looked at watches, stared at the ceiling, chewed gum and chatted together while she talked. Supervisors H. B. Wood and E. P. Luke both announced that they were no wiser at the conclusion of Mrs. Buntin’s brief presentation. Luke even stated at the outset that he didn’t expect to learn anything. With the attitude displayed by Rappahannock’s Board, it’s no wonder that the Welfare budget and programs continue to baffle the Supervisors. Great insight seldom comes from lack of attention. We think it’s high time that the,,. Supervisors devoted a few extra hours * to gaining a working knowledge of Welfare programs. We’d be less apt to quarrel with their decisions if we felt they were making informed judgments rather than reacting with blind prejudice to the whole Welfare system. Companion services is not the average Public Assistance program. It’s aimed towards keeping the elderly poor in their homes and communities rather than in nursing home institutions. The people who receive Companion Services need help in coping with daily household tasks. The companion does light housekeeping, runs errands, cooks meals, shops and performs other chores. Persons who are eligible, who have incomes below $200 per month, are not given Welfare money to disperse. Instead, the money is paid directly by the Welfare Department personnel to the individual who performs the chore services. It’s hard to be a welfare chiseler, a cheater, on Companion Services. The Chairman of the Supervisors indicated that optional Welfare programs benefitting the elderly rather than children were fine if the county could afford to operate them. We’d like to ask him what the county intends to do with the federal anti-recessionary funds — $6,000 worth — received formally at the beginning of Thursday’s meeting. The Board approved putting the money into the school fund in lieu of a transfer of the same amount — already budgeted — from the general fund. So now there’s $6,000 extra in the general fund above what the Supervisors anticipated. This is money that the County Fathers didn’t expect to get. If Rappahannock’s Board had voted to grant Mrs. Buntin the money she requested to continue both mandatory and optional programs, the county would still have been ahead — with $2,600 instead of $6,000 to add to the general fund. We think the Supervisors should have voted to continue the Companion Services program and should have granted Mrs. Buntin the funds to continue ALL of her departments mandatory programs. We’re sure that five elderly Rappahannock natives would be resting a lot easier if the Supervisors had followed that course. Pigeon Power Confronts Postmen By DONALD J. FREDERICK National Geographic News A postman with wings and feathers may be called into action if the cost of delivering mail and messages continues to soar. Some people in England are suggesting homing pigeons as the answer to rising postage costs. Says a homer expert: “Once you are established, the cost of running a pigeon post is incredibly low.” A small package service is even more imminent. A hospital in Plymouth, England, already has decided to test pigeon parcel post. The feathered couriers will fly specimen vials from the hospital to a central laboratory in the city for analysis. Pigeons Promise Savings Taxis now deliver the specimens, and would still come to the rescue if bad weather grounded the birds. As many as 20 hospitals in the Plymouth district eventually may use pigeons, saving thousands of dollars in taxi fares. Humans have been using the homing pigeon’s remarkable navigation instict to provide fast communication for centuries, the National Geographic Society says. Many think Noah had the idea first. The Bible says he released a dove after the flood, and it returned with an olive twig. But bird fanciers insist a dove doesn’t “home,” so it must have been a pigeon. Egyptians were breeding special strains of messenger pigeons as early as 3000 B.C. The winged heralds sped the names of Greek Olympic victors to their home cities. The Roman naturalist Pliny marveled at the immense price and prestige commanded by the birds: "Nay, they are come to this pass, that they can reckon up their pedigree and race.” The Sultan of Baghdad linked his empire with a pigeon post system in 1150. Seven centuries later, message-carrying pigeons started Paul Julius Reuter on his way to founding a global news service. And just a few years ago a newsman had his photographic film of a moon shot airlifted to the office by a homer. Fly For Sport Today, most pigeons fly just for sport. Organized racing began in Belgium in the early 1800s and soon spread. Fanciers breed and race their own birds. Even Queen Elizabeth of England has her own pigeon loft. Training begins when birds are about four weeks old. First they sit in the loft. Then they “roam” on their own nearby. Finally owners take them on longer and longer trips before releasing them. In races, specially banded birds are taken in crates to a starting point and released. When each bird comes home, its owner removes the band and inserts it into a device that records the time. Distance from starting point to loft is measured; times are checked and the bird that made it home fastest wins. When all goes well, a Jiomer can clip along at 35 to 70 miles an hour. With the right wind, birds have been clocked as fast as 90 miles an hour.

SUSAN HENRY BETSY CROUCH NANCY JOHNSON ROGER TOUHEY 7th Grade Teachers Letters To The Editor Refuse Problem To the editor: I am thankful to return to this beautiful county to live after living in other areas for the past 38 years. Being a subscriber to the Rappahannock News for the past several years, and enjoying it very much, I realize Rappahannock County is no different from other places I have lived as far as problems the leaders have to decide about. They have to decide what is best for the people, county and country. We as human beings create most of them ourselves, like the one we’re hearing so much about — trash — a big problem in our county and country. We throw it out wherever we go, not having enough pride to put it in the containers provided at different areas. If we carry it there, much is thrown out on the ground by people who do not bother to lift it three feet into the container. After noticing the area at Amissville, seeing that for several months there is trash all around the container is bad enough, but the filth that someone has written on the containers is worse, and has been there for a long period of time. I do think the trash company should be advised of it if they have not noticed, and told to paint over the words and keep the sides of the containers clear of this filth. Also keep the ground around clean even if we have to pay for it. The containers are private property, I assume. There are ladies and children, as well as men, who carry trash there. For more pride and cleaner containers, I am, ROY F. JENKINS Amissville Gratitude To the people of Rappahannock County: I want to express my appreciation to each of you for the many kindnesses and hospitality that you have given me during my campaign for the House of Delegates. It is time for all of us to pull together and to support George Beard as our Delegate. He needs our support and encouragement to do his job effectively and we need to make sure that he has our foil cooperation. Let me take this opportunity to congratulate George on his election to the House of Delegates. I look forward to seeing each of you in the foture. With best wishes, BUTCH DAVIES Problems With ERA To the editor: People have been asking if the ERA is such a good thing, then why hasn’t it been ratified yet? In spite of the lobbying efforts of Rosalynn Carter, Betty Ford, 99 per cent of the media, slick lawyers, actors, glib educators and other militants, most observers believe the ERA is finished. As more people become better informed about the dangers inherent in the ERA legislation, it’s been voted down in state after state. The latest is the state of Florida. Other rejections in the past few months include North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi, Arkansas and Nevada. The only state to ratify in 1977 is Indiana. And several states that previously ratified have recently voted to rescind—a question that probably will be settled by the courts. What are some of the arguments against the ERA? Many point to the possibility that the courts might interpret the Amendment as 'supporting legal marriage for homosexuals and their adopting of children, unisex public restrooms and other effects clearly at variance with the nation’s JudeoChristian traditions. Proponents ot tKA assure us that no such result is possible because of Supreme Court rulings on the right to privacy. But a Library of Congress analysis informs us that “because the U. S. Supreme Court has failed to define the right of privacy in clear-cut terms...it is difficult to ascertain exactly what the relationship between the proposed ERA and the right to privacy will be.” Those highly respected in law such as Prof. Philip Kurland of the University of Chicago Law School says that separate restrooms in public places will have to go, “unless the separate but equal doctrine is revived.” Prof. Paul Freund of Harvard Law School has testified that if ERA is interpreted in keeping with the line of cases concerning racial segregation it "would require that there be no segregation of the sexes in prison, reform schools, public restrooms and other public facilities.” Juniors Vie In Trail Ride The Rappahannock-Old Dominion Pony Club is sponsoring a competitive trail ride for juniors on Sunday, Nov. 13. Riders will check in at 8 a.m. at Edgeworth Farm, Rt. 688, near Hume, in preparation for the 20-mile ride. And Sen. Sam J. Ervin, in a speech in Raleigh, N. C. said, "1 don’t know but one group of people in the U. S. the ERA would do any good for—that’s homosexuals.” And what a handicap for the employerl Proponents of ERA have lobbied to make it unconstitutional to “require information on sex, including given name of applicant or any questions concerning marital or parental plans or status...from pre-employment inquiries of any sort.” Therefore, if a man with a family to support and a single woman apply for the same job—all other qualifications being equal—the employer may place himself in danger of litigation by judging in favor of the man on the ground of his greater need. In the state of Washington, the ERA has caused problems by removing the protective labor legislation from women that had formerly guaranteed them coffee breaks, lunch breaks, the right to ienye company property at lunchtime, and safeguards against heavy lifting. Most women do not want to go into the Army—at least not in a combat position. Proponents deny women will be forced into combat, yet in the ABC-News special report on ERA, broadcast on Jan. 22—an hour-long program that was heavily in favor of the Amendment—backers of ERA publicly admitted that the amendment would subject women to combat. The ERA would invalidate all state laws that require the husband to support his wife and family, because the Constitution would then prohibit any law that imposes an obligation on one sex that it does not impose of the other. For example, Colorado, one of the few states to adopt a state ERA Amendment as part of its state constitution, has given us a forecast of what absolute equality means when applied to the marriage contract. Under the Colorado law, a wife now shares equally in the obligation to support her family under pain of criminal conviction of a class-five felony. This is what equality means. No longer is it a crime in Colorado for a husband to abandon his wife. State laws designed to help the widow would be nullified. For example, Florida has a law that gives a property-tax advantage to widows. It is a measure of the vindictiveness of the militant women that one of the leading female pro-ERA lawyers joined in (when the case was being heard by the Supreme Court) to try to persuade the Supreme Court to void this widows' advantage. Many pro-ERA lawyers cite the Florida law as an example of discriminatory legislation that ERA will eliminate. In addition to aggressively pushing for abortion and comprehensive federal day care centers, ERA advocates have begun urging that every husband whose wife is not employed outside the home be required to pay doable Social Security taxes. Finally, do we want a shift of power from state to federal by allowing Congress, for the first time, to legislate on such matters as marriage, the family, divorce, etc.? GRACE N. BLAIR Viewtown FROM BOTH BARRELS Local Government And The Election By GEORGE BOWLES Democrat Correspondent It is surprising that the widely differing views of the candidates for governor on the role of local government did not receive more notice in the press and among editorial writers during the campaign. Both Republican John Dalton and BOWLES Democrat Henry Howell staked out fairly clear positions on the subject, and in view of the fact that it directly concerns every voter, it should have been one of the major issues. But somehow this issue, which is very real, got buried among the charges and counter-charges over such emotion-intensive non-issues as gun control, collective ; bargaining for .public service employees, repeal of the right to work law and, to a lesser extent, the Panama Canal and the busing of school children. This is not to say the candidates held identical positions on these questions, but they were non-issues in the sense that neither Dalton nor Howell, as governor, could do much about them even if they wanted to. The policy of the Commonwealth has been set by the overwhelming will of the General Assembly on those issues which pertain to the state, and that policy is subject to the dictates of the federal courts or the Congress on the rest. But the question of the future of local government is something else again, and in this area the next governor can have a profound impact. The issue is devoid of the Farm Bureau Reorganizes, Enlarges A major enlargement and reorganization of the Virginia Farm Bureau Service Corporation has been announced, as a means of increasing service to Farm Bureau members. The Service Corporation was founded in 1965 as an affiliate of the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, to provide tangible products and services to members. At that time, only tires and batteries and some general farm hardware was offered. The Service Corporation now is divided into four major areas of responsibility. Louis P. Chisholm, VFBF secretary, will head the products division, responsible for sales of tires, batteries and other general farm products. The livestock and fowl division of the Service Corporation now will be under supervision of John N. Parker, who is director of commodity activities for the federation. The farm management division now will come under supervision of A. Grant Moffett. * Robert E. Waring will continue is manager of the grain division emotional fireworks the candidates and the news media so love, yet nothing should be of more importance to the thoughtful citizen who pays his taxes and looks to Richmond, the county courthouse or the town hall for sound and responsible public policy. Simply Different The difference between Howell and Dalton on the subject can be simply stated. Dalton believes the state should continue its strong supervision of city and county governments and that the General Assembly should keep a tight rein on the activities of municipal councils and boards of supervisors. Howell contends that the citizens of the cities, towns and counties know what is best for them, and that the state constitution should be amended to give local governments far more control i than they now have over solving their own problems. Under the present language of the state constitution, local governments are very much creatures of the state and are apparently not considered to be very intelligent creatures at that. The Commonwealth reserves for itself all powers not specifically given the local governments, and it has doled out these powers sparingly, carefully defining the limits of each. The result has been a perpetuation of what some have called a “royal governorship” under which local officials must come to Richmond, hat in hand, to get permission to take the most elemental steps affecting their communities. A classic example of this was seen earlier this year when the localities had to get permission from the governor before they could take local water conservation measures urgently required by the drought. While Dalton says he believes in strong local government, he opposes any constitutional changes. He says he fears that giving the boards and councils a freer hand might lead to an increase in expenditures and therefore higher taxes. He favors retaining the strong controls the governor and the General Assembly now exercise. Jeffersonian Principle Howell sees it differently. He cites the Jeffersonian principle that the government is best which is closest to the people and believes the state Constitution should be amended to expand the power of local government. The attitude of the General Assembly on the question is not known, and a majority of the members would probably follow the leadership of the next governor, in either accepting changes, or in maintaining the status quo. It was thus a valid issue, and it should have received more attention during the 1977 campaign for the governorship. While this column was written before Tuesday’s election, it will give some indication of what we can expect from the new governor-elect with respect to his policy toward foe need for local government reform, or foe absence of such a need.

Water Protection Increased ,The Environment* Protection Agency hat ««ntly proposed regulations designed to protect individua; underground drinking watei sources from contamination according to the October 29 edition of EPAlert. The proposed program is designed to protect under ground sources—called aquifers—that are the sole oi principal sources of drinking water for over half the U. S. population. The regulations establish procedures to (1) designate for special protection aquifers which> if contaminated, would create a significant hazard to public health, and (2) review projects receiving Federal financial assistance in those areas. The new program is directed primarily toward the potential threat associated with large projects that receive federal funding. This includes highway construction, multi-unit housing development and municipal sewerage facilities built under EPA’s construction grants program. EPA will not be concerned with reviewing on an individual basis small, isolated commitments of Federal assistance, such as individual home mortgage loans (VA, FHA or Farmers Home Administration). However, such projects may be reviewed if collectively they pose a threat to groundwater purity. Under EPA’s proposals, the Administrator could designate an individual aquifer for protection, either on his own or following Avoid Tree Loss Many trees are lost each year because homeowners fail to stake their trees properly. Trees that are not staked will often grow crooked, said Albert S. Beecher, Virginia Tech ornamental horticulture specialist. Use a 2 x 2 inch wood stake or metal pipe to hold the tree in place while it grows. It is bfest to place the stake in the hole before filling in the earth. The stake may damage the roots if it is placed after the tree is planted. Set the stake in the ground about two feet. It should be high enough to support the tree. When one stake is used, place it on the side of the prevailing wind. After planting the tree, thread a wire through a piece of garden hose, and tie this around the tree stake to hold the tree in place. Another method to support newly planted trees is to use guy wires or cables. These should slope from about half way up the trunk to the ground at an angle of about 45 degrees. The upper ends of the wire are attached with lag screws or by threading the guy wire through a piece of garden hose to prevent damaging the bark. The lower ends of the wires are anchored to stakes driven deeply into the soil. Generally, three wires or cables are usually placed around a large tree. Do not use these guy wires in situations where it is possible for people to stumble over them at night, Beecher cautioned. I petition from the public. Should an aquifer be i designated, EPA would notify all regional Federal agencies that projects receiving Federal finding are subject to special review by EPA’s Regional Office in that area.

You may think this is a sign of aging, and that the more mold present, the better the flavor will be. Alas, you are the victim of another myth, according to VPI authorities. Research shows that mold on dry cured hams does not indicate longer aging or better flavor. True, the vast majority of molds are harmless and can be washed off before eating. But a few molds may be harmful if eaten. Can anything be done to retard the growth of these unsightly, unnecessary (or possible harmful) molds on cured hams? Yes.

Sorbate is a preservative classified GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the Food and Drug Administration. It is currently used in beverages, baked goods, chocolate syrup, cakes, cheese, margarine, and many other products. Sorbate has also been approved for external use on dry sausage and fish. In the sorbate research, which was directed by assistant professors J. David Baldock and Paul P. Graham, they applied a one minute spray of sorbate solution to the surface of cured hams. They found that hams treated with potassium sorbate had 30 to 60 days longer resistance to mold than untreated hams. Sorbate did not affect aroma, flavor, saltiness, or overall acceptance of hams. Sorbate was shown to be a potential benefit to consumers by slowing growth of unsightly, unnecessary molds on cured meats. As a result of this research, a food chemical company is petitioning the PDA to clear potassium sorbate for use on dry cured meats. Researchers said that if approved, sorbate use could provide protection from potentially undesirable molds and give added shelf life to cured meats. T. R.

Lives may hang in the balance. This year, over 12,000 American women will die of * uterine cancer. Each year about 43,000 new cases are liagnosed. Preventive measures are crucial with this type of cancer. By the time symptoms appear, cancer cells may already have invaded healthy tissue. A Pap test, one of the examinations that will be administered at Saturday’s clinic, signals the presence of uterine cancer at a stage when it can be most easily cured. The Pap test is a simple, painless examination, involving only the taking of a sample of vaginal fluid which is later examined under a microscope. The test can detect not only early cancers, but precancerous conditions. When cell samples are studied by qualified laboratory technologists, the results are 95 per cent accurate in cervical cancer detection and 60 per cent accurate in detection of cancer of thd body of the uterus. Cell examination has made it possible to detect uterine cancer sufficiently early so as to make treatment almost 100 per cent succesful. Chester Gap Area News By BESSIE M.

Despite the effectiveness of the Pap test, only 43 per cent of women over 20 have ever had it, according to the American Cancer Society. Surveys show further that only 20 per cent of American women have a Pap test regularly on an annual - or semi-annual basis. Why haven’t more women taken advantage of this potentially life saving technique? Its effectiveness has certainly been, proven time and again. Since the availability of the Pap tests, the U. S. death rate for uterine cancer has shown a steady decline, dropping by two-thirds in 30 years. A look at survival rates for uterine cancer should convince every Rappahannock woman to participate in Saturday’s clinic. With an early diagnosis of localized uterine cancer, 78 per cent of women survive. If the cancer has spread, the survival rate plummets to 45 per cent. In addition to Pap tests and blood pressure checks, nurses at Saturday’s clinic will conduct breast examinations. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women. One out of every fifteen American women will some day develop breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. But, if the disease is detected early enough, chances for a cure are good. Early detection and treatment can cut down the toll of breast cancer deaths. Women who come in for an examination on Saturday can also request that the nurses teach them the techniques for selfexamination. This, too is potentially life saving. The American Cancer ^ Society says 95 per cent of breast lumps are found by women themselves. We urge every Rappahannock woman to participate in Saturday’s free clinic. You owe it to your family and yourself. UNITED STATES POST ANIISSVILLE.

comm Y JOURNAL By NANCY SECRIST Exteniion Agent Quite often we learn more from each other than we do ip from published books. Here are a few tips people have shared with me which I am happy to pass on to you. Keep coffee hot and save energy by pouring perked coffee into a vacuum bottle. Since reheating is not required, the coffee retains its freshness and remains hot for up to 24 hours. For maximum efficiency, wash the container in a sink full of suds prior to refilling; preheat with hot water before adding coffee. From Mrs. M. B. Fletcher—To crack pecans and English walnuts easier, heat in boiling water for several minutes, drain and open immediately while shells are still warm. When food boils over in the oven sprinkle the burned surface with a little salt. This will stop smoke and odor from forming and makes the spot easier to clean. Also, rubbing damp salt on dishes in which food has been baked will remove brown spots. How to make perfect tea. First, warm the teapot by rinsing it inside and out with hot water. Add one teaspoon of loose tea per cup of water. In a separate kettle bring fresh cold water to a full, rolling boil and pour into the teapot. Let it brew from 3 to 5 minutes. If a tea ball was not used, catch leaves in a strainer, and serve. The exception to the rule is with Chinese tea, which should brew 8 to 10 minutes. Do not strain Chinese tea, but allow a few leaves to float into the cup. If you hesitate to cut and store fresh oranges for fear all the vitamin C will be lost by the time you get around to eating them, don’t worry. The vitamin C in fresh oranges is very stable and little is lost when an orange is cut and stored overnight in a plastic bag. Sweet treats don’t have to be gooey desserts or candy. Oranges, which are in plentiful supply now, make easy traveling desserts in lunch boxes. Here is a delicious recipe to try with the zucchini you froze last summer. Zucchini Casserole—Recipe by Mrs. M. B. Fletcher, Washington, Va. 1 quart zucchini diced in sauce pan with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 cup' tomato juice, 1 cup chopped onion. Cook until tender with juice cooking down. . Cook Vi lb. sausage made into cakes. Discord grease...set aside to cool. Put in saucepan 1 pint good tomato juice with 1 medium onion chopped, ‘/a green pepper chopped, 1 large tablespoon butter. Cover and cook until tender. While boiling, add thickening made with about ‘/a cup flour and water to make thin paste. Cook until thick, adding sugar to taste (enough to take away the acid taste), and salt and pepper. Crumble sausage, add ‘/a cup hard ground or rolled bread crumbs and ‘/a teaspoon oregano. Rub together well, adding plenty pepper to taste. Grease with butter or margarine a deep pie pan or casserole. Sprinkle lightly with bread crumbs. Put in thick layer of zucchini, then sausage mixture, then tomato filling. Sprinkle with grated sharp cheese then a light sprinkling of bread crumbs. Put in 37S degree oven and bake until bubbles around edges and slightly brown. This freezes nicely. To reheat, I often heat over a saucepan of hot water then in oven a few minutes.

The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Commerce Pesticide section certifies individuals to use restricted pesticides. Safety training for farmers and commercial applicators is provided by the Virginia Tech Extension Division. Norman Lau, Extension coordinator of the chemicals, drugs, and pesticides unit at Virginia Tech, explained the training program he helped develop. It includes training manuals, slides, movies, and practice tests, The training manuals may be studied at home, or reviewed in one-day sessions provided by Extension personnel. To date, 14,5% private and 3,860 commercial certifications have been issued. This represents roughly 60 per cent of the desired total. Lau felt that the overall training effort has made participants realize just how dangerous pesticide misuse can be for themselves, their loved ones, and the environment. The training program will continue. Individuals who have not been certified to use restricted pesticides, should contact their local Extension agent for details. ++++ Life is a progress and not a station —Emerson 30tuL THE CLASSIC...

A total of 949 children who were bom to Virginians in July, 1975, were included in the random sample survey. Responses were received from 639 or 67.3 per cent. The survey indicated that approximately 66 per cent of the immunizations were provided by private physicians, 27 per cent were provided in local health departments and 7 per cent were provided by, the military. Increasing the immunization levels of twoyear-old children will be part of the comprehensive Immunication Initiative program during the next two yean. The State Department of Health’s goals are: to raise immunization levels above 90 per cent for children under 15 years of age by immunizing inadequate)! protected children against measles, polio, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus, rubella and mumps; to insure that comprehensive immunization services will be easily available to 100 per cent of the children bom each year. Dr. Miller said, “Parents need to do their part by checking their children’s immunization records and contacting their physician or local health department to receive immunizations. Childhood immunizations are available without charge at all local health departments.” “ALL COTTON” To find 100% cotton underwear for the entire family of excellent quality, call your local Dutchmaid dealer—703/948-4722 or write Doris S.

Tele. 675-3325 By JUNE RUHSAM Rappahannock Newa Correspondent The steeplechasing season ends in Virginia Saturday with the Montpelier Hunt Races at Mrs. Marian duPont Scott’s beautiful estate near Orange. Post time for the first of five races is 1:30. The classic Noel Laing handicap, third on the card, is usually one of the best races of the year, drawing the finest ’chasers in the nation, who use it as a prep for the $100,000 International Colonial Cup run at Camden, S. C. two weeks later. Running over Montpelier’s brush course of live privet hedges (the only such fences in this country) in the $5,000 added Noel Laing will be last year’s winner of this race, Fire Control. The gray Woodcrest Stables’ color bearer was later a close second in the Colonial Cup, Beverly Steinman’s Frenchbred Bel Iman, leading money winner this year, trained by Paul Fout and ridden by his son Doug, should give him plenty of competition. Among other leading contenders are two of Mrs. Miles Valentine’s homebreds, Deux Coup and Down First, recent winners at Belmont and Rolling Rock respec^ and % Laundry Service ^ Rugs & Drapes w 19 E. Jackson i Front Royal, Va. 635-3055 tively, Stephen C. Clark, Jr.’s Naval Person, and Pillar Farms’ Up Like Thunder. Race chairman Mrs. Scott, whose horses (including the great Soothsayer) have won this event three times, has entered her Yellow Boy. First on the program of well-filled races is the Meadow Woods, a mile and three fourths maiden hurdle race, followed by a flat race at a mile. After the Noel Laing is the $2,000 Montpelier Cup allowance steeplechase over the same brush fences as the feature race but at two miles. The Madison Plate, named for the first owner of Montpelier, President James Madison, is the last hurdle race of the day and of the Virginia season. Competition will be fierce not only among the horses but among the jockeys too. Only four points separate the top two riders for year-end awards. Jerry Fishback is currently in the lead with 51 points. Tommy Skiffington, last year’s winner is second, with Doug Fout third, followed by Joe Aitcheson, who holds the record for having been top rider seven times. Montpelier is just west of Orange, about 20 miles south of Culpeper. No admission is charged to the races. Lunch is served by the King’s Daughters, who use the proceeds for charitable needs in Orange County. +■4—I—h The good life is the healthful life, the merry life. Life is health, joy, laughter. —J. E.

Rappahannock News, Washington, Vs* Thursday, November 10,1977 County Gets Unexpected Funds (Continued from Page 1) Luke volunteered to get copies of recently. adopted festival ordinances from Fauquier and Loudoun Counties for the Board’s study. Supervisor Dick Latham asked if passage of a festival ordinance would affect firemen’s carnivals. “There are ramifications” that need to be considered before any such ordinance is adopted, agreed Col. Luke, adding that the primary intent would be to control field parties, rock festivals and other "primarily musical-type activities.” Dead Rats Aubry Keyser reported to the Board on the unsanitary conditions at the Woodville voting site. “There are dead rats laying around...the odor is very bad,” said Keyser. Further, he said that Sally Thornhill, election official for Woodville, had notified the Electoral Board that she would not serve at the Woodville site on Tuesday’s election unless something was done. Supervisor H. B. Wood responded that the building belonged to him and that for years, he’d been trying to get the Electoral Board to find another voting location. “It costs me more to clean the place up than I get out of it for rent,” maintained Wood. He said he wanted to go on record with a refusal to allow the building to be used as a polling place after this year. “In fairness to H. B., he shouldn’t be responsible for the costs of cleaning up,” Luke responded. Commonwealth Attorney George Davis agreed that it was the county’s obligation to clean up the location and “make it suitable to use as a voting place. “You certainly have my permission to clean it up,” Wood replied. Luke stated that it was the responsibility of the Electoral Board to find someone to clean up the site with the expense borne by the county. He added that next year, the Board would have to arrange a meeting and find a different voting place for the Woodville area. “This is not the first time that H. B. has brought this up,” said Luke. The Chairman told the Board that the State Fire Marshall had inspected the courthouse last week and will write the Supervisors a letter, formally notifying them of his findings. As forewarning, Luke said “this building is going to have to have another exit from the second floor or stand the possibility of being condemned.” The only exits from the upstairs courtroom now lies over an old furnace, Luke continued, and is therefore particularly susceptible to dangers of fire. Sheriff William Buntin appeared before the Board to inform the Supervisors of the latest developments with his department’s liability insurance problems. Costs of liability insurance have jumped, said Buntin, and the increase has caught the Compensation Board unaware. The Sheriff said that last year, the Compensation Board paid two-thirds of insurance costs with the amount running $75 per sheriff department employee throughout the state. This year, said Buntin, two-thirds of the costs for the same coverage will be $188 per person. The Compensation Board does not have the money—a half million dollars or more—to cover the difference, according to Buntin. He reported that the Compensation Board authorities plan to go before the Legislature in January to request additional funds but until that time, will only reimburse localities for liability insurance coverage on the basis of last year’s payments—$75 per person. He noted that counties would probably be paid the $113 difference if the Compensation Board’s request for additional money is granted by the Legislature. “It will cost $872.50 to renew our policy,” said Buntin, with the Compensation Board reimbursing the county for $254 of that amount. “I don’t know that we have any alternative except not having any insurance,” commented Supervisor Butch Eastham in moving that the payment be authorized. With no further discussion,, the Supervisors voted unanimous approval. In action that could be described as “better late than never,” the Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution, commending retired county clerk Ned Jones for his 14 years of loyal, efficient service to the Rappahannock County. Jones retired as clerk in June. Welfare Services In Jeopardy (Continued from Page 1) funds lay with Companion Services for $2,000 out of the $3,400 that she had requested. “What is Companion Services?” asked Dike. ' Mrs. Buntin replied that the name was a misnomer since a lot more than companionship was provided through the program. She explained that the “companion” does light housekeeping and runs errands for the poor who have no one who can help them in their homes, free. The purpose of the program, she said, is to keep recipients in their own homes and save nursing home costs. She added that her department currently handled five Companion Services cases. Supervisor Wood again interjected that he didn’t understand the Welfare Department problems. “We’ve been accused of voting our own minds,” he said. *‘I don’t know who’s we’d vote if we didn’t vote our own.” Wood then moved that the Supervisors appropriate no additional funds for Welfare operations. His motion was immediately seconded by Supervisor Clarence Baldwin. “I’d like to give Mrs. Buntin a little more time,” said Supervisor Dick Latham, who also serves as Chairman of the Welfare Board. “I believe in Companion Services/’ he added. Tifhtoa Beits “I believe in them all,” countered Supervisor Wood. However, he said, "there's a feeling in my district that the Welfare Department can operate with what they have (tf they) tighten their belts.” On most Welfare programs, Department personnel have "no choice, no option” in dispersal of funds, responded Mrs. Buntin. “If a person qualifies, he has to have help.” She told the Super*, visors that the local share for three mandatory purchased services has to- be funded. Companion Services is a “valuable service but it is optional,” she continued. Luke suggested that the Supervisors “delete” the funding request for optional purchased services but restore the funds for man* datory programs that “involve children.” “Before you vote, I’d like to say one more thing,” Mrs. Buntin responded. She noted that the amount of money needed to cover shortages in both mandatory and optional programs was just $3,000 Reach nearly everyone in Rappahannock County with your Classified Ad.

Entering your room we prayed for grace To meet whatever we would face. You had slipped away in the dark of night To be with Jesus, who is the light. You, for ninety-six years, He did bless Then called you home to the land of rest. As your eyesight grew lighter. Your faith in Him grew much brighter. You are missed from your rocking chair. But we know you are much happier up there. We wouldn't want you back for a pot of gold— Heaven is a better place for young and old. Neither do we question the will of God For, with Him, you do trod. We know there's a warning you want to send back— Everyone, please get on the right track. Prepare to meet God. Sadly missed by those who loved and cared for him, by his son and daughter-in-law, Alvin and Marie Atkins. In Memoriam In loving memory of our dear father and husband, Willie Jenkins who passed away one year ago, on November 15,1976. He is away, yet ever near, His presence fills each day.

Koyal Avd.:, , * Front Royal more than the amount shown in the county budget and was $2,000 less than the Welfare Department’s original estimate and budget request made in April. “There’s something wrong with the budget,” she continued, since a $582 shortage existed in administration and assistance when no cuts had been made there by the Supervisors. "I’m for funding the mandatory services,” stated Luke. "What else is there to do?” Wood asked. No Extra Money Luke continued that he wasn’t in favor of granting Mrs. Buntin’s request for additional money to cover the shortage in Companion Services. If a county has extra money, then it’s fine to offer optional services, he added. Supervisor Butch Eastham, after looking over the budget information supplied by Mrs. Buntin, commented that it appeared the Welfare Department had spent $17,000 in administrative costs to give away $14,000 in benefits. “It’s not fair to say that,” countered Mrs. Buntin. She noted that value of food stamps was not considered in Washington, Va. 134 Acres ESTATE RAPPAHANNOCK CO: Beautiful 134.56 acre farm with 24 stall barn and other outbuildings; fields fenced and cross-fenced.

She explained later that a significant portion of the salaries for Welfare workers pays for a direct service to clients and should not A considered as administrative overhead. . “What would happen if you don’t get the money?” for mandatory services, asked Luke. “The state would bring pressure to bear on you,” Mrs. Buntin replied. “We’ll worry about that later,” commented Wood. Supervisor Latham warned that the Board could "get in a whole lot more trouble in three more quarters.” Luke acknowledged that the Board may have to take the matter up again after Mrs. Buntin gets a letter from the State offices. The Supervisors then voted unanimously to appropriate funds for mandatory purchased services only, omitting any additional money for shortages in administration and assistance and the optional Companion Services program. "This is the most complicated budget I’ve ever seen,” commented Col. Luke. “It’s too intertwined...No reflection on you,” he added to Mrs. Buntin. Luke suggested that she write the State Welfare Department, objecting to the required fonnat. “I’ve done so,” Mrs. Buntin answered. Birth Announced Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence A.
