Moody Aylor of the Rappahannock Hunt rode Breezy Buggy to capture first in the Acom Farm flat race while his son Pete on Brave Tea finished only a neck behind him for second place last Saturday in the Casanova Races. Point -to -Point Races Postponed ’Til March 11 The Rappahannock Hunt Point-to-Point Races, originally planned to get underway at 11 a.m. r,f Saturday, have been postponed untlL March 11, according to race chairman Witold Kuncewicz of Flint Hill. “We (the race committee) made our decision (Tuesday night) after reaching an amicable agreement with the Blue Ridge Hunt,” Kuncewicz said Wednesday. “Blue Ridge has cancelled their races (scheduled for March 11) because their course is completely snow bound?!’ “We felt we had to postpone the Rappahannock Races because of the snow and the forecast for rain Friday to be followed by freezing temperatures,’’ the race chairman added. Post time for the first of 10 races remains at 11 a.m. (March 11). The races still will be run over the rolling hills of James W. Fletcher’s Thornton Hill Farm two milei south of Sperryrille on Rt. 522. The course "Is getting really good,” according to Kuncewicz, and hopes are that the postponement will give the race committee and horsemen time to make “last minute” preparations. Because of the past two months of bad weather which has prevented most foxhunters from keeping their horses fit, both the pair race and the new Mount Marshall owner-rider race for foxhunters have been shortened from two-and-ahalf miles to about one-anda-half miles. Among the early entries for the owner-rider timber race, the owner-rider hurdle race, the ladies’ race and the open hurdle race are the winners , from last week’s races at Casanova. “We hope to have the course open for schooling on Sunday through Wednesday,” Kuncewicz said. “Anyone wishing to school on the course should contact me at (703) 364-1841.’’ Culminating the colorful Rappahannock Races will be the annual hound race with casting time set for 3:45 p.m. Clifton Clark of Woodville and W. H. Lyne of Washington, co-chairmen of the hound race, last week reported that more than 80 hounds are entered. “We know how to start that many hounds, but 1 don’t know how we’ll stop them,” Clark said. Race chairman Kuncewicz said that the race committee still is accepting entries for kthe races and looking for “all the support we can get to make the races the most successful yet.’* Adding to the enjoyment of the spectators, who have a panoramic view of the course and the spectacular mountainous countryside, will be refreshments, an improved sound system and flags and music to add to the pagentry. An enlarged hospitality room has been added for the riders, grooms and drivers. Parking at the races is free. General admission tickets will be available at the gate at S2.50 per person with children under 12 admitted free. Teachers Repe Requests For Higher Salaries, More Benefits By DAPHNE McCULLOlIGH Rappahannock !Vw» Staff Writer Higher salaries and more fringe benefits for teachers, over-crowded school buses and budget work sessions closed to the public were some of the concerns voiced at Monday night’s special meeting of the Rappahannock School Board. The issues were big but attendance was sparse at the tirst ot a series ot budget sessions, this one specifically intended for “citizen input.” Only a handful of teachers and a few parents attended. Donald Bomberger, President of the Rappahannock Education Association (REA), expanded on teacher requests presented to the Board in January. "We find ourselves in a most unenviable position ... in that of the nine surrounding counties only one has a base salary at or below ours, and even that exception, Culpeper, has higher maximums,” he said. By granting requests for an increase of $700 at each step in the pay scale, the county would bring base salaries to $9,200—still below starting pay in most of the neigh boring localities, Bomberger noted. He pointed out that Rappahannock County ranked 50th in the state in base pay out of 134 districts in 1973, but had dropped currently to 126th, "nearly the bottom of the ladder.” "In ability to support schools, we rank seventh in the state,” Bomberger continued, “and yet we rank 127th in our effort. We have one of the lowest average true tax rates in the state at 27 cents per S100 valuation giving us a ranking of 126th out of 134.” Bomberger later said he’d received his statistics from the Virginia Department of Education. More For Property Owners From these statistics, Bomberger concluded that Rappahannock has “done more for property owners than almost anyone else and less for education than almost anyone else." He criticized the argument that low property taxes benefit the poor. “The poor have the most to gain from quality schools,” he maintained, since education is often the only way a poor person has to improve his position in life. Bomberger also contended that lower salaries were a dominant factor in the high turnover rate—over 27 per cent yearly—in faculty at Rappahannock schools. “At least 42 per cent of the teachers who were here four years ago are no longer with us," he noted, adding that this kind of staff loss has a negative impact on the quality of an educational program. County teachers have also asked for $200 to be applied to hospitalization, life insurance or income protection as designated by the individual. Bomberger noted that 95.54 per cent of Virginia teachers are currently provided with full or partial payment of these premium costs. He added that Rappahannock teachers had not received an increase in payment for extra curricular duty since 1972. By adopting the extracurricular pay scale proposed by the Education Association in January, the School Board could bring those levels of compensation more in line with salaries being paid in other districts, Bomberger said. After concluding his prepared statement, Bomberger asked the School Board members for questions. Superintendent William Bloomer asked if there was any particular reason why statistics from Madison County had been omitted from the Education Association’s figures on comparitive starting salaries. Bomberger Teplied that he'd picked counties in District 8 to which Rappahannock belonged. However, he added that Madison teachers started at $8,400—S100 below Rappahannock—but had a maximum salary of $12,600, “well above ours.” “What about Page County?" asked Alan Stokes. Compare* Poverty With Poverty Bomberger answered that teachers in Page started at $8,870 and also had a maximum above Rappahannock’s. “You’re essentially comparing poverty with poverty,” he added, in comparing Rappahannock (Continued on Page 8) Request Electrical Use Curtailment Effective March 2, Rappahannock businesses that are customers of Potomac Edison will have to curtail electrical load to 70 per cent of usage in the same period last year. The order from the State Corporation Commission exempts facilities whose function is life support, security or essential public services and requires residential customers to reduce electrical consumption by 10 per cent. Jim Poffenberger, Potomac Edison Southern Division assistant manager, reported that PE coal stocks had Special Kids Have Special Time SKIP, a special program for special kids, got underway last week in Rappahannock. Administered and funded by the Rappahannock-Rapidan Mental Health and Retardation Community Services Board, SKIP is designed to give educable mentally retarded adolescents an opportunity for socialization and recreation. The youngsters meet on Fridays after school for activities that are intended to be both informative and fun. Last Friday, coordinator Sallie Washington took her group to the courthouse in Washington for a tour of Sheriff W. A. Buntin’s department. Several of the eight boys and girls were a little nervous about visiting the county jail but before the afternoon was over, the youngsters were crowded into the Sheriffs office, completely at home with Buntin and his deputies. The field trip iwas more than just a lessan in law enforcement procedures. Sheriff Buntin jjifve the kids a brief history of the court* house building itself and took them upstairs for a little lecture on county government. Back in the office, it was time for fun thipgs. The Sheriff explained the duties involved with law enforcement and then gave demonstrations with his fingerprint kit, frisker, police radio, scanner, camera and tape recorder. The children’s faces looked concerned at the beginning of the outing, particularly Aen Buntin announced that they were going to walk over to the jail. “1 don’t want to go there,” volunteered one young man. “Do we have to?” asked another. Ms. Washington and Sheriff Buntin quickly assured the group that no one was going to be locked up. Once in thp building, the children looked much more relaxed. "That’s a drunk tank, isn't it?” asked one inquisitive youngster as he passed an empty cell. The trip last Friday to the Sheriffs Department was the first in a 14-week series aimed at giving the kids a good time while familiarizing them with their community. Other SKIP activities include an afternoon of kite making and flying, a trip to the Museum of Natural Histon, dinner at the Pizza Hut, a trip to the Kennedy Center to see a play, bowling, a nature hike, visits to the Confederate Museum, Monticello and a local fire department and a cook-out party before the program ends in late May. Although SKIP is staffed in Rappahannock by two trained recreational coordinators. more help would be welcomed. “We need volunteers, particularly as chaperones on our trips," said Ms. Washington. No special talents are required except an interest in children. (Continued on Page 4) -Rappahannock N«w» Photo/S Latham SKIP STUDENTS IN RAPPAHANNOCK toured the office of Sheriff W. A.

He said the company was currently purchasing 50 per cent of its power from other companies that generate with oil or nuclear energy. Poffenberger didn’t anticipate any relaxation of mandated power reductions on the basis of progress in negotiations with striking coal miners. “It's a little difficult for us to be optimistic” in light of the tentative agreement between the coal industry and union leaders, said Poffenberger. "We have no assurance that it is going to be ratified” by union rank and file workers, he said. Ponenberger noted that miners had already turned down a model contract in a test vote taken by union members at PittsburgMidway, an independent company. According to the SCC emergency plan, all commercial and industrial customers of Potomac Edison will have to reduce electrical usage to plant maintenance levels when PE coal stocks drop to a 15 day supply. If the emergency continues, the Company may be forced to begin rotating black-outs, with electrical service turned off for two hours and then on for four hours. Poffenberger said he’d notified Rappahannock fire companies that they may be included in the rotational black-out. Schools might also have electrical service interrupted, should this step become necessary. Superintendent of Schools Dr. William Bloomer, at Monday’s School Board meeting, announced that county schools would probably close if they are included in the rotational black-out. The SCC also approved fuel adjustment clause revisions last month that will allow Potomac Edison to pass on to customers the increased costs the company has incurred in buying non-coal power from other companies. Poffenberger reported that this will mean a surcharge of .0044 cents per kilowatt hour, effective February 10. To enforce the JO per cent mandatory power reductions that begin March 2, Poffenberger said that Potomac Edison will rely primarily on the honor system. He noted that large flagrant violations will be highly visible and would probably be reported to the company by citizens. Examination of records after the fact will also show if the conservation requirements have been ignored. (Continued on Page 8) Ground Broken For Mental Health Clinic Ground breaking ceremonies to signal the start of construction for Culpeper's Mental Health Clinic building were held at the site last Sunday. The third element in the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Mental Health Center's long-planned Mental Health Services, the Clinic will be located on 1.49 acres off Laurel Street adjacent to Culpeper Memorial Hospital’s former main entrance. Land for the project was deeded to Culpeper County by the Hospital Trustees in 1971 and for use as a Mental Health Clinic in 1974. The featured speaker at the ceremony was Dr. Leo Kirven, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation. The Honorable George P. Beard. Jr., Seventh District Representative to the Virginia General Assembly, took time off from Richmond to participate in the ceremonies. I he Clinic building, designed by Earth Design and constructed by Double “C” Corporation, will house the Culpeper Clinic staff. Included are a family and group therapy area, records room, library, reception lounge and offices. The facility is expected to be in service in late 1978. Outpatient services of the Culpeper Mental Health Clinic, now located at 110 North East Street, include: County Tags On Sale Now Motor vehicle sticker tags for Rappahannock County for 1978 were released for sale Wednesday, March 1 and the deadline for puchase of the tags is April 30.

Other calendar revisions include holding classes on March 6, 22, 23 and 28 to cover additional days missed due to weather. If more of that nasty white stuff doesn’t descend on Rappahannock, class will let out for summer vacation on June 8 and no one but the teachers will have to go to school on Saturday.

Dirty, rusted and pitted chains will give you the best results for a truly "distressed” effect.

If you have moved your place of residence you should also move your voting registration, according to Rappahannock County Registrar, Mrs. Mary Cleverley. Virginia law requires that a person, to be entitled to vote, must be a citizen of the United States, eighteen years of age, a resident of Virginia and of the precinct in which he offers to vote. He must be duly registered and otherwise qualified under the Constitution. To vote in the May 2 election for city and town officials, if you have moved, the last day to register is Saturday, April 1, to change your voting precinct. Anyone not previously registered may also register prior to or on that day for the May town election. It is wise to change your voting registration when you move at the same time that you change your address and utilities, driver’s license and credit cards. It is important to realize that you cannot go back to the place you formerly lived and vote unless you have moved since November 1977.

If you are interested in going, meet me at the Extension Office at 8:00 a.m. and we will pool transportation. ALFALFA There has been a dramatic revival of interest in growing Alfalfa in the past year. This revival has been prompted by the increased cost of protein, the comparative drought resistance of Alfalfa, and the good local market for quality hay. Establishing Alfalfa is an expensive proposition. The seed cost alone can run over $40.00 an acre. Before making a decision to grow Alfalfa, a farmer should be totally committed to doing the best management job possible. And he should be aware of the insect and weed problems that can be expected. We have an excellent publication No. 146 “Alfalfa” that is a condensed Alfalfa grower’s bible and if you will contact me I will be happy to work with you on selecting suitable soil types, varieties, etc. U. S. NOW “HOG CHOLERA FREE” A goal which has been called the greatest achievement in livestock health in history was reached last August with the qualification of the U. S. as free of hog cholera. The last case of hog cholera in the U. S. occurred in New Jersey on August 1, 1976. More than a year has passed since that date and that is considered sufficient time to indicate that the hog cholera virus no longer exists in the hog population of the country.

Who would have thought that we’d ever look forward to an annual inflation rate of 6 per cent with an emotion close to ecstacy? Yet, today that’s what we're doing. The reason, of course, is that after three successive yearly hikes averaging better than 9 per cent, 1976’s 6 per cent increase looks pretty good. Don’t be fooled - 6 per cent inflation is high. At that rate prices double in 12 vears. What would happen to housing prices with a 6 per cent yearly cost-ofliving increase? A home that cost $60,000 now would increase to $120,732 in 12 years. In 20 years it would cost $192,428. In 30 years it would sell for $344,609. What does all this mean? Whatever your age, you must find a way to create an income in addition to your pay check. Although there is no such thing as the perfect investment, real estate may be the nearest thing to it. It can be an income producer, a shelter from high taxes, and an ideal protection from the ravages of inflation. Real estate values historically increase faster than general inflation prices and maintain a higher value than most assets in depression. The ideal hedge.

Inc j THURSDAY, MARCH 2,1978 Richmond Report By JIM POPE \rundr 1 Nrwspaprn Staff Writer SENATE STARTS PARIMUTUELS WORK A subcommittee of the Senate General Laws Committee started work late last week on the parimutuel betting bill that was recently approved by the House of Delegates. The subcommittee is considering several amendments to the bill which will strengthen safeguards for clean betting in Virginia. The subcommittee chairman, Sen. James Edmunds (DLunenburg), suggested that the bill be toughened to prevent members of the General Assembly as well as their families from investing in proposed race tracks or from serving on the Racing Commission. Edmunds also suggested that no lawyer-members of the General Assembly nor their law partners could serve as counsel to the commission. State Sen. Charles L. Waddell (DLoudoun-Fairfax) has proposed amendments that would require voter approval of race tracks in counties and cities adjacent to a jurisdiction seeking a track. Waddell said that if a track is proposed for Prince William County, voters in Loudoun should be able to vote on it. His amendments also require that all jurisdictions adjacent to a track location would have to give approval to the track before it could be built. If the referendum failed in one jurisdiction, Waddell explained, it would kill the chances of a track being built. The subcommittee is expected to make its recommendations to the full committee this week. BUDGET SAILS ALONG The 1978-80 state budget sailed easily through the House of Delegates last rhursday. The budget, which totals about S9.2 billion, received a vote of % to 1 when it was introduced on the floor of the House. The only negative vote was cast by Del. Robert Thobura (R-Fairfax) who said that he opposed the use of state Medicaid funds for abortions. He attempted to amend the budget bill on the floor but was unsuccessful. The budget was approved by the House after only 52 minutes of discussion which many in Richmond consider a record. LITTER PENALTY TOUGHENED A bill which passed the House of Delegates and is now before the Senate toughens the state's litter laws. It calls for a fine of $1,000 and-or a year in jail if a person is caught dumping trash or throwing litter from a car. In lieu of the fine and jail sentence, the person caught littering could choose to spend time cleaning up highways. TEACHER BILL KILLED The House Committee on Education killed a bill last week that would have created a board to oversee the certification of teachers. The board, if it had been approved by the General Assembly, would have been made up by a majority of members of the profession. The House approved a measure last week that requires students to pass a minimum competency test as well as earn the required number of credits before graduating. The requirement, which will be included in the Standards of Quality, must first be approved by the Senate and then signed by the Governor. KINDERGARTEN AGE Legislation now in the Senate proposes that the cutoff date for a child reaching age five and enrolling in kindergarten would be Sept. 30. But local authorities, under other legislation pending, could enroll younger children, those who will not be five until the end of December, after consulation with their parents. SKIPing Is Fun (Continued from Page 1) Volunteers can be adults or older teenagers. “Any volunteer aid that is offered, we accept," Ms. Washington said. Individuals interested in working with special youngsters can contact Sallie Washington by phone at the Community Service Board offices, 825-8284, or at the Rappahannock Elementary School on Fridays around 3:30. Meeting Of Rec Center Group There will be a meeting of the Rappahannock Recreation Association Tuesday, March 7, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Court House. Final arrangements for the fund raising drive will be made. DEMONSTRATING THE USE OF A FINGERPRINT KIT to SKIP student* are Sheriff Buntin and Deputy R. D. Hawkins. The children were interested in their tour, but reluctant, to visit the jail. However, they overcame this and apl*eared to enjoy their tour. The Little Fox — — — _ v llappdMmek N«w» Ptmo/Mary L Payne Our Rappahannock Heritage RLEP Topic: Spray Or Not To Spray The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection will meet on Friday, March 3, at the Court House in Washington to hear three experts who will discuss the environmental and economic impact of the use of herbicides, insecticides and pesticides especially as they relate to the growing of fruit. Representing three somewhat differing positions, the three gnetleman will each present his own informed opinion on this controversial subject and members of the audience will be invited to ask pertinent questions. The speakers will be Dr. Raymond Johnson, environmentalist, Dr. Mason W. Reger, a representative of the chemical industry and Captain George Sharp, a Rappahannock orchardist. Dr. Johnson recently ended four decades of service in state and federal governments when he left the National Science Foundation as Director, Division of Advanced Environmental Research and Technology. He is presently a Director of the Rachel Carson Trust and a consultant to the National Wildlife Federation. Dr. Reger who will represent the chemical industry on this occasion, is an agent for Stauffer Chemicals in this region. He also has had first hand experience as an orchardist and currently maintains an orchard in Timberville Virginia. Captain Sharp, a resident orchardist in the Washington Virginia area, is the owner and operator of Mountain Green Farm. A graduate engineer and career Navy officer. Captain Sharp became interested in fruit growing while on tour of duty in Japan. No business meeting is planned and the public is urged to attend. The meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Beautify Rappahannock Dogwood Trees and Chinese Chestnut Seedlings will be sold through the Rappahannock V.P.l. Extension Office to benefit the 4-H Educational Center in Front Royal. Pink Dogwoods will be $4.00 each, White Dogwoods $2.50 each and Chinese Chestnut Seedlings - 50 cents each. All are nursery stock. Checks must accompany orders. Order by calling or writing Rappahannock V.P.l. Extension Office 6753619...by March 3rd. Delivery will be April 6. DEPUTY ROBERT JENKINS demonstrates a frisker used to detect metal on anyone entering the Rappahannock Courthouse during court sessions. Letters To The Editor Plastic Eyesore To the editor: The MOTEL sign at the entrance to Washington has to be the eyesore of the year. General Pope is supposed to have said Rappahannock is a little Switzerland, but this plastic atrocity njakes it a little Southern Californian. That’s where the plastic sign world began and spread over the country with an ugly commercial sameness which destroys the individual character of our communities. Washingtonians are proud of their heritage. They have cleaned up their streets and vacant lots, planted trees and put up 18th century street signs which they decorate every Christmas. Many of the old buildings have been renovated and the business signs are tasteful and comply with the County ordinances. But this gaudy plastic reverses it all. The motel itself is an attractive and useful establishment. But why must this sign mar the once delightful approach to our charming and historic town? It resembles nothing so much as those tall plastic atrocities one sees around highway interchanges advertising gasoline stations. Doesthis sign comply with County or State ordinances? Why couldn't it at least have been more compatible with its historic setting? Such a sign would never have been permitted in many areas in the U.S., much less in Switzerland. We must include in our County and town ordinances the means to prevent the further spread of such eyesores. And if any violate current regulations, we should see to their removal. If other readers are equally concerned they should make their views known. One way is to sign a petition protesting this structure which I have noticed at The Rush River and Cash Store in Washington. NELS PARSON Nifty Idea To the editor: The front page article of last week’s News telling about the new 4-H Educational Center to be built near Front Royal was quite interesting and informative. I suspect that many people of Rappahannock have had at sometime or in some way a rewarding or pleasant experience through their relationship with a 4-H Gub of the County and will want to help in supporting the new Educational Center. The local Extension Office had a nifty idea in sponsoring the sale of Dogwood tpes (the state flower) as a means of raising money for this project, and I hope the office will be swamped with orders right up to the last day, March 3. Not only will the building project be helped along, but the countryside will be even more beautiftil. PAULINE H. BRUCE Washington GED Tests Set For March The General Educational Development (GED Test), for those persons who were once enrolled in school but who did not complete graduation requirements, will be given on Saturday, March 11th and Saturday, March 18, 1978 beginning at 9:00 a.m. at the Warren County High School, Luray Avenue, Front Royal, Virginia. Attendance at both sessions is necessary to complete the entire battery of tests. The tests, administered and supervised by the Adult Education Service of the State Department of Education, are designed to measure the educational development of individuals who left school before graduation. The battery of five tests in English Composition, Social Studies, Natural Science, Literature and Mathematics are designed to measure the major skills that result from four-year high school curriculum. By achieving satisfactory ^ scores on GED tests adults may earn a high school equivalency certificate; qualify for admission to college or advanced educational opportunities; meet educational requirements for employment or promotion; satisfy educational qualifications for induction in the United States Armed Forces. Certificates may be issued to civilian and military personnel who meet the following requirements: An applicant must be at least 19 yekrs of age. Under special circumstances which are considered justifiable by local school authorities, the age limit may be lowered. Applicants must have been a physical resident of Virginia thirty days prior to applying for testing. Persons interested in taking the test may apply at their local office of the Superintendent of Schools in the County in which he resides. Applications will be accepted through March 8, 1978. A fee of S7.50 is charged for the battery of five tests and $1.50 for each retest. Applicants who apply must present their Social Security Card when an application is made for GED. Residents of Rappahannock can call the School Board Offices at 9878773 for further information. Psychotrophic Medication Workshop The RappahannockRapidan Community Mental Health Center will hold a psychotrophic medication workshop for nurses, social workers, psychologists, probation workers and other interested human service professionals. Dr. William Young of Castleton, Director of Medical Services, will discuss common psychotrophic medications, dosage, side effects and drug interactions. The workshop will be held Thursday, March 23, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Fidelity American Bank’s Community Room in the Southgate Shopping Center in Culpeper. The Community Services Board urges all interested persons to participate in this timely discussion on medications aften prescribed to help people with emotional lisorders. Crumbs Of Gold “Laugh and the world laughi with you; cry and you cry alone.” Not so, says the Gid Brown Hollow Baptist Church. Not so, says FISH, that Rappahannock organization of concerned volunteers; and the Amissville Ruritans, also disputing such negative philosophy, refused to accept a motto or axiom that would leave the victim of misfortune to suffer alone. Recently, when the Edward Nicholson family was plunged deep in sorrow as fire swept away their home and belongings, John Burke, who pastors the little church in the hollow, called on the faithful to show the fruit of their faith, to share a garment when they had two, to make a gift of their abundance. A collection was taken, the articles gathered, and all delivered to the Nicholson family in Culpeper. tl- ctcu « compassionate group always at the alert on telephone numbers 675-3523 and 9878291, was immediately in action collecting money and clothing. Having deterftiined further actual needs with the Nicholson family, the Citizenship and Patriotism committee of the Amissville Ruritan Club conducted a survey of their members, soliciting the required items. In an unusual fit of supply and demand or rather a harmony of gift for the need, two trucks and a station wagon were loaded with a sofa and matching chair, a boxspring and mattress, tw$ chests of drawers, a kitchen table with a new set of pots and pans, dishes, bed linens with many other gifts to completely fill the requisitions called for. An extra item was presented in the belief that for maximum well-being, every family needs a Bible. Doubtless the common motivation and the unity of purpose, by all these and other unidentified groups was the underlying belief in that constructive age-old axiom—“It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and to all those who need to take ’ heart, the NicHoliTofi experience bears out the truth . of “my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory by Jesus Christ.” By H.

Wakefield Students . To Visit Nashville T UHY School’s 5th and 6th grade students will leave Thursday March 2 for a three day trip to Nashville, Tenn. P The focal point of the trip will be the Nashville Parthenon, an exact replica of the famous original in Athens, Greece which the students have studied and made models of as part of their Greek and Roman History course. In addition to the Parthenon, the group will visit the Tennessee State Capitol; ?• hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson; and Fort Nash. The students plan to attend a performance of the Grand Ole Oprey on Friday evening, and, if weather Permits, to take a steamboat excursion down the Cumberland River on Saturday. Wakefield Plans Drama * * »»vuviu vuumry uay School in Huntly has announced that its annual student play will be Cyrano de Bergerac by the 19th Century French dramatist Edmond Rostand. This heroic comedy in five acts, with a cast of forty-three, wili be presented in the school auditorium on March 17 and again on March 18 at 8 p.m. by upper school students under the direction of Mrs. Pamela Lynn and Edward McAuley. Cyrano, a drama whose romanticism was in sharp opposition to the prevailing trends of its day, caused a great stir in French theatre when it was first performed in 1897. Its hero, a 17th Century philosopher and swordsman, combines courage, humor, and bravado in a swashbuckling adventure The part of Cyrano, the long-nosed muskateer whose wit is as sharp as his sword, is played by 9th grader Michael Blake. Roxanne, the beautiful but hard to please heroine, is played by Tara Labovitz. Christian, the tongue-tied suitor who competes with Cyrano for the hand of the fair Roxanne is played by Wynn Voeks. The play’s directors cordially invite the public to attend what promises to be lively and colorful entertainment for all TAX RETURNS PREPARED In Flint Hill or In Your Home Irene N.

Designs Historic Table Peter Kramer, furniture designer and cabinet maker in Washington, was recently commissioned by the Dennis Historical Society of Cape Cod, Mass., to design and build a large trestle table for use in the keeping room of the Joshiah Dennis Manse. The Dennis House was constructed in 1737 and is now open to the public as a National Historic Site restoration. Kramer’s work was selected after a lengthy search failed to locate a suitable antique. Both the Rev. Joshiah Dennis and his father were master cabinet makers and Kramer plans to build a table similar to that which they might well have made for themselves. The Historical Society has provided research material on the Dennis family, their life and times to aid Kramer in achieving a proper design.

Teachers Repeat Requests (Continued from Page 1) salaries to those of other low ranking counties. The average national salary for teachers is $14,244, “well above our maximum,” he noted. Bomberger asked the School Board members for their opinions on the proposed salary scale but Chairman Beverly Massie responded that Monday’s meeting was an “input meeting” for informational purposes only. Boardmembers have not had sufficient time to look at the overall budget requests or to get figures from the state on educational funds available, she said. “It would be inappropriate to comment at this time,” Mrs. Massie concluded. Bloomer asked Bomberger if he had any figures on the cost of the fringe benefits requested by the teachers. “$16,800 maximum for all 84 employees included in the system," Bomberger replied. 60 Per Cent Membership Bomberger noted that 60 per cent of the county’s teachers were members of the Education Association, currently meeting at least once a month. Teachers who live out-of-county face a hardship in attending these after school meetings, he said. “You're asking us to assist you to make your organization stronger," commented Bloomer. "No, we're asking you to assist us in showing you . . . where improvements are needed,” Bomberger replied, contending that teachers were in the best position to assess Rappahannock’s educational system. If teachers are granted duty free lunch periods, another REA request, “who’s going to mind the kids?” asked Board member Paul Nichols. Mrs. Hrbek answered that lunch periods could be scheduled to have five or six teachers in the cafeteria at a time on a rotating basis with the rest allowed duty free lunches. She said PTA members had also offered to come in and assist with lunch room duties. As a final suggestion—the only one that would cost the county money—two or three aides could be hired to cover the lunch room from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., she added. In conclusion, Bomberger said that Rappahannock ranked 118th out of 134 localities in educational costs per student based on average daily membership (ADM). The counties listed in the top ten in ability to pay for education (excluding Rappahannock) ranked an average of 23rd in per pupil educational costs based on ADM, he noted. 108th In Income Mrs. Massie acknowledged that Rappahannock was judged seventh out of all Virginia localities in ability to pay for education but, she said, “in fairness you have to recognize that we’re ranked 108th in income.” Ability to pay is based primarily on land values, she noted. “If the land is not sold, the income is not there.” No income from the land means very little to teachers, countered Bomberger, especially when the land owners are benefitting from the increased value of their land from year to year. Rappahannock’s low income ranking shows the county has a lot of poor people who can’t afford to send their children to private schools, he continued. For the county’s poor, education is often the only way to improve their life, Bomberger said Dangerous Overcrowding Sean Kilpatrick followed Bomberger in addressing the School Board. “I’ve got just one little thing on my mind and that’s school buses—not so much school buses as school bus routes and not so much the routes as the number of routes,” he began. According to figures he’d obtained from school offices, Kilpatrick charged that total county bus routes were carrying 82 students above capacity. “There’s a crying need for two additional bus routes” and money for two new school buses above and over the purchases included in the replacement schedule, he maintained. He noted that 66 passenger buses no longer hold 66 students since two or three seats had been lost for safety factors. Budget Assistance Kilpatrick also questioned why the School Board felt Dr. Bloomer required assistance with his statutory responsibility of preparing the preliminary school budget. “Why does he need help from two appointed School Board members?” he asked. Mrs. Massie deferred to Dr. Bloomer for an answer. Since this was his first year in the Rappahannock system. Bloomer said he welcomed the Board members' “counsel and advice" so as to avoid projecting a budget figure that might be unrealistic. "This doesn’t remove my statutory resonsibility,” the Superintendent added. In a brief statement, Rev. Ron Wiley, president of Rappahannock Citizens for Better Education, announced that his organization supported salary requests made by the teachers and described REA proposals as "very fair.” No Freedom Of Information Sharon Kilpatrick also offered comments, hers directed towards the budget preparation method initiated this year by the School Board. Having the Superintendent work on the budget in closed session with two School Board members “is a way of getting around the law” that requires open budget meetings, she said. “It looks like a way you can hash out the budget without us hearing,” Mrs. Kilpatrick charged. She also citicized the Board’s “knee jerk reaction” of “we can’t afford it” made to any proposals that would increase school costs. She maintained that most landowners could afford higher taxes. Besides, she added, “holding down the tax rate is not your job.’’ Mrs. Kilpatrick stated that the School Board and the Board of Supervisors should be natural adversaries with the School Board’s primary responsibility in providing a quality education while the Supervisors worried about taxes. “Voters are parents as well as taxpayers,” die continued. "I think many would be willing to lobby the Supervisors to pass the budget without cuts.” Education Prime Concern The final speaker, Henry Hudson, said that a teacher’s primary concern should be the education of students, not. salaries or REA meetings. “How many teachers are tax payers in Rappahannock?” he asked. “How many live in Rappahannock?” Many teachers don’t live in the county because they can’t find or afford housing, Bomberger answered. All who live in Rappahannock pay taxes here, he added. Mollie Hobson asked Hudson if he intended to imply that there were teachers who were not interested in the education of children. "You made the statement. I didn’t," Hudson responded, without adding further explanation. In conclusion, Mrs. Massie volunteered to serve on the budget “fact finding committee” with Alan Stokes as the other member and Paul Nichols as alternate. ++++ Beauty, Madame, pleases the eyes only; sweetness of disposition charms the soul. —Voltaire —Rappahannock Nawa Photo/Dr. William Ym( DELEGATE GEORGE P.
