Rappahannock News, March 9, 1978

29th YEAR, No. 10 8 Pages The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 THURSDAY, MARCH 9,1978 RICHMOND 19, VA. 23219 Washington, Virginia Phone 675-3349 Races Still Going Go-ahead plans for the Rappahannock Hunt Pointto-Point races continue in spite of the weather and post time for the beginning pairs race is 11 a.m. Saturday, March 11. The race course at Thornton Hill Farm, Sperryville is located south on Route 522. The race card calls for nine turf and timber races, culminated by the always interesting hound race in which there are already 80 hounds entered. The pairs race has 14 pair entered and in the new pony race there are six entries. For the feature race, the Ben Venue a total of ten horses are entered to compete for the Seven Corners trophy. RAPPAHANNOCK RACE CHAIRMAN Witold Kuncewicz talks with Patricia who was schooling at the race course last week. She is the leading lady timber rider in Virginia and a two time winner, 1976-77, of the award as such. The Rappahannock Point-to-Point is scheduled for Saturday, March 11 with post time 11 a.m. for the first event, the pairs race. y’ Motel Sign Stirs Controversy tA «... «(tL. ___ i • . . -TH Deauiy is in me eye oi tne beholder,” and if signatures on petitions mean anything, a lot of beholders have found the recently erected motel sign on Route 211 just outside Washington decidedly “unbeautiful.” Petitions circulating around the town now carry approximately 60 signatures in opposition to the new sign advertising the Lake Motel. reiinoners are asking that the motel and its owners not be granted a special use permit for the sign "because it is in conflict with the predominant character of the neighborhood ... We feel that every business should have the right to advertise by means of a sign (but) said sign should be tastefiil and in keeping with the community." —Rappahannock New Photo CONTROVERSY OVER THE MOTEL SIGN erected in Washington advertising Lake Motel has arisen. There is some controversy over whether any permits are required, and whether the sign violates provisions of the Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance. According to Zoning Administrator, Evan McNear, the sign doesn’t comply with setback requirements. According to George Davis, Rappahannock Commonwealth Attorney and co-owner of the motel, the sign complies with all county regulations and needs no approval from any governing body or office. In a general businesscommercial zone, the zoning ordinance allows signs advertising local businesses as a use permitted by right. The ordinance also stipulates that all structures except signs advertising sale or rent of property shall be located 55 feet or more from the right of way of any highway or street having a right of way greater than 50 feet. McNear reported that he’d discussed the setback requirement with Davis and co-owger John Lyle and that they were aware McNear viewed the sign as in violation of county ordinances. "They haven’t taken any action to date,” said McNear. He acknowledged that it was his responsibility to enforce sign regulations but noted that his authority “must be used sensibly.” “I have a feeling they thought they were complying with the law,” he maintained. McNear said he was trying to work out the sign problem "without hurting anybody” and would attempt to bring the matter before the Board of Zoning Appeals. “I’m waiting for legal clarification,” he added. "Then I will proceed right away.” “It’s a sore point with me,” he continued. “I’ve been harrassed on thi: thing for quite som< time . . . When the sign firsl went up, I began getting phone calls (between 25 and 35 to date). Many of the objections have been from people who don’t like the sign but don’t want to go on record as being opposed tc it”, he added. “I told the owners that it’s something that’s not going tc go away So they might as w face up to it,” McNeai concluded. Davis contends that his new motel sign doesn’t need a variance to the setback requirement from the BZA. He maintains that when the ordinance was drawn up, setback regulations were not intended to apply to advertising of local businesses. According to Davis, the primary reason for including setback regulations at all was to keep businesses from erecting signs on the new right of way for Route 211 before the state bought the additional land to widen the road. “My contention is that the sign ordinance is not applicable to local businesses.1’ maintained the Commonwealth Attorney. ‘It would be ridiculous to not allow advertising for local businesses that rely on highway traffic.” If it were determined that the setback requirement applied—and Davis insisted it doesn't—then he would move the sign back ten to 15 feet. “If I had to move it, I’d have to make it higher and bigger” in order for the sign to be visible from the highway,” he said. "That would make it more objectionable—if it is objectionable,” he added. Davis and McNear did agree on one thing—that county sign regulations were Hunting Law Proposed-Again Bob Dennis appeared before the Rappahannock Supervisors at last Thursday’s Board meeting to ask that the county “think again about an ordinance to control trucks and cars traveling up and down our roads with loaded guns.’’ Dennis recalled that a similar ordinance had been proposed here last year but that it had been "left up in the air” after Commonwealth Attorney George Davis questioned the advisability of adoption. According to Dennis, Fauquier, Culpeper and Orange Counties have all enacted laws making it illegal to carry loaded rifles or shotguns in motor vehicles or on a public right-of-way unless the person carrying the gun has permission to hunt from landowners on both sides of the road. These ordinances, said Dennis, are held by the courts to be in good standing and are enforced. He asked the Rappahannock Supervisors to reconsider the issue and noted that action had to be taken by May 1 in order for state game wardens to enforce the ordinance in the next hunting season. Dennis said he’d had problems on his farm with lunters shooting from the road and had talked to other rounty residents who have tad the same difficulties. As i result of illegal hunting on posted property, there’s a novement going around to tave Rappahannock’s lunting season shortened. -George Davis countered that other counties are having problems enforcing hunter control ordinances because of ‘‘inconsistencies’’ in the laws. “We already have a law on the books making it an offense if a person hunts from the highway...1 think the hunting situation in Rappahannock County is bad.” However, Davis added that he knew of no short cuts that would solve the problem under state enabling legislation. Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke interjected that to enforce the existing regulations against hunting from a road the game warden must actually see a gun fired. “By the same token,” Davis responded, "it takes under ten seconds to unload a gun” and a violator of the proposed regulations could have his firearm unloaded before he pulled his vehicle over. Dennis said he’d read of several successful prosecutions under the Fauquier ordinance in that county’s weekly newspaper. "I don’t see how something like this would hurt anything,” commented Supervisor H. B. Wood. Dennis added that he didn’t think a hunter control ordinance would create any problems for local people. He reported that most of the cars he’d spotted cruising up and down Rappahannock roads carried out of county tags. The Supervisors didn't discuss the ordinance proposal further and took no action. confusing. “That’s one article (of the zoning ordinance) that certainly needs to be clarified,” said McNear. “I’m glad the Planners are beginning their review.” DAPHNE MeCULLOl'GH Ski Area Files Suit The Rappahannock Ski Corporation has decided to fight to reopen the twice bankrupt ski area in Harris Hollow as an all year recreation center revolving around a snowless Alpine slide. On Tuesday, attorney Douglas Baumgardner filed a petition in circuit court asking for a reversal of the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals denial of the ski area’s special use permit application. The petition filed March 7 also seeks ‘costs and reasonable counsel fees.” Following two long and heavily attended public hearings, BZA members voted unanimously on February 9 to turn down the Rappahannock Ski Corporation’s request for a permit to operate 300 acres as a commercial ski area. The permit application included rights to a snowless slide, rental space for the sales of arts and crafts, a farmers market, miniature golf course, tennis, swimming, hiking and facilities for dancing and musical entertainment. In addition to the application denial, BZA members also authorized a memorandum to the county Planning Commission, calling for a review of the ski area’s commercial zoning designation on 300 acres. Arbitrary And Capricious The petition filed on Tuesday alledges that the BZA's action in denying the special use permit was “arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable.” It maintains that the proposed use of the property was appropriate and not in conflict with the county zoning ordinance. The petition further states that the BZA took into account evidence not legally pertinent to the application and that the decision was improperly based upon the memorandum from the BZA to the Planning Commission. According to the corporation’s suit, the memorandum “constituted in improper and illegal attempt” to downzone the ski area property” and “contained inaccurate -epresentations” that the BZA knew or should have Known were inaccurate. In a final point, the petition attacks the validity of the county’s zoning ordinance itself. It claims that the ordinance is arbitrary and capricious “in that the standards by which the Board may grant special use permits are conclusory and indefinite; that said ordinance improperly confers upon the Board the power to legislate, and that said delegation is invalid and inoperative.” In a recent case in neighboring Fauquier County involving a special use permit issued by the Board of Zoning Appeals, circuit court judge Raynor V. Snead ruled that wording in the Fauquier County zoning ordinance was vague and gave too much discretionary power to the BZA. Snead held that the Fauquier supervisors had gone too far in delegating authority to the BZA and further implied that the standards for evaluating permits might not hold up if tested in court. As a result of Sneed’s ruling, the Fauquier Supervisors have temporarily taken over the issuance of special use permits. Ski Area Zoning Defended By daphne McCullough Rappahannock !Nrw» Staff Writer The commercial rezoning of the Rappahannock Ski Area’s 300 acres in Harris Hollow was neither inadvertent or incidental, according to Supervisor E. P. Luke. At last Thursday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, Chairman Luke discounted charges from the county Board of Zoning Appeals that the ski area property was rezoned commercial in 1973 “without benefit of the full knowledge and specific consideration" of the Supervisors. Luke’s remarks were sparked by a memorandum from the BZA to the Planning Commission which held that the Ski Area's commercial rezoning slipped by when the county zoning ordinance and maps were approved in 1973. The rezoning was discussed, stated Luke. He described BZA allegations to the contrary as "unjust to the Planning Commission and unjust to the Board.’’ “Being an old engineer type, 1 never throw anything away,’’ said Luke as he rummaged through his briefcase and came up with notes dating back to 1973. According to Luke, a separate zoning designation for recreation was proposed to both the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. He read a Jefmition for recreational tone that cited skiing as a permitted use. His notes, continued Luke, tarry a notation that a ■ecreational zone was not included when the county zoning ordinance and zonin maps were adopted in 197J “I just want to make this , matter of record,” he added. “As 1 recall, the problem: thrashed around by th< Board dealt primarily with the rezoning of the whole area as recreational,” in terjected Commonwealth Attorney George Davis. The entire 300 acres owned by the Ski area were considered because of problems involved in locating ski runs and slopes on the property if only part of the tract was rezoned, Davis explained. "The whole idea was that it would be for skiing,” he said. Giving commercial zoning to the entire 300 acres left the location of future ski facilities up to the discretion of the owners, added Davis. According to this Commonwealth’s Attorney, concern at the time of ordinance adoption centered around controlling and preventing the introduction of “hotdog and souvenir stands along the highway” leading to the ski area. The allegations that the ski area was inadvertently rezoned are ‘‘simply not true,” said Davis. "It was considered by the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors...People who weren’t there seem to know more about it than those who were there,” he concluded. The memorandum from BZA Chairman Josef Gardiner also stated that taxes at the commercial rate have been levied on only 20 acres of the 300 acre tract. Controversy over this issue should Annual Fashion Show Will Be Held Sunday Spring fashions for men, women, and children will be previewed at the Rappahannock Women's Club Annual Fashion Show on Sunday, March 12, at 2 p.m. This is a change from the date originally scheduled. The show, “Garden Cascades,” will be held at the Rappahannock Elementary School. Fashions are again being provided by Southern Department Store in the Northern Virginia Shopping Center in Warrenton.

Snead. "The only thing we did was set the tax rate,” Luke added. In reference to the BZA’s recommendation that the ski area's property be reviewed and possibly down-zoned, Luke said the Supervisors might “get in a bind if we rezone on a spot by spot basis...In the long haul, we can get ourselves in...a lot of trouble.” “At this stage, I don’t think you can legally rezone it,” commented Davis. "Even if the ski area property was down-zoned,” the Commonwealth Attorney added, “operations there would still be allowed as a nonconforming use under the county’s grandfather clause."^ Medical Services Council In other action, the Supervisors approved the concept of an Emergency Medical Services Council for the Planning District with Rappahannock as a member Paul Poling and Jennings Hobson explained that the Council would coordinate local rescue squads with hospitals and doctors who live in the community. Creation of an Emergency Services Council would also qualify members for federal funding grants, according to Hobson. ‘‘I think it’s a move in the right direction,” responded Luke. An Emergency Services Council will involve not only providers of health care services but also consumers, “people who've been left out in the past,” he said. Luke also proposed that the Board members think about endorsing a volunteer fire inspector handled through the Rappahannock fire and rescue association. “The volunteer inspector would not have any authority to require improvements but (Continued on Page 8) ALL DRESSED UP for the Fashion Show to be held Sunday, March 12 are Renee Ellis of Amissville and Tracy Sutphin of Flint Hill who will be models.

(Alternate method: add lots of salt to the contents, and heat on the stove; the food may "flake” out along with the salt.) Then partly fill with water and a strong detergent. Bon for 10 minutes. Let stand as is overnight. Then pour off the water, and the burned part will be cleanable with a scouring pad or steel wool. For aluminum pans, the following miracle can often be worked: boil an onion in the pan and the burned stuff will detach itself and rise to the top. If a truly beloved utensil is “hopelessly” burned, there are professionals who specialize in restoring such items. Check the Yellow Pages under “Metal Finishers.” CLOGGED COFFEE STRAINER: Sprinkle coarse salt in the basket, then run under hot water. CLOGGED MEAT GRINDER: Insert crumpled wax paper after the food, and keep grinding away. The paper will force every last bit of food through but won’t go through itself or jam up the works. CRACKED DISHES OR PLATES: For hairline cracks, put the plate in a pan of milk and boil for 45 minutes. The crack will usually disappear. DIRTY ALUMINUMWARE: Boil apple peels in aluminum pots. It will make cleaning much easier. DIRTY BOTTLES: If the bottle brush won’t reach or isn’t strong enough, fill the bottle halfway with soapy water, then add a handful of peasize pebbles. Shake vigorously. DIRTY ENAMELWARE: Fill with cold water plus 3 tablespoons salt. Let sit over night. Then boil. Then empty. Then clean (easily). DIRTY FORKS: Try cleaning them with an old tooth brush. DIRTY GRINDER: Run a piece of bread through it before you wash it. DIRTY OVEN: Sprinkle salt on any spillovers that occur while baking. When the oven cools, you should be able to use a spatula to life up the boil-over in one big ugly piece. DIRTY POTS AND PANS: Some kinds of dirt are best cleaned in cold water, not hot. These include eggs, doughs, sauces and puddings. DIRTY THERMOS BOTTLES: Fill with warm water plus 1 heaping teaspoon baking soda. Let sit overnight and then clean. DRIPPY PITCHER: Rub the tip of the lip of the pitcher with a tiny bit of butter. DULL SCISSORS: Cut a piece of sandpaper into strips. You’ll have sharper scissors. GREASY DISHES, POTS, AND PANS: Hotsoak them with baking soda in the water. Chemically, baking soda plus grease equals soap. GREASY IRONWARE: Pour in lots of salt, and you can easily wipe up grease plus salt with paper towels. RUSTING CAKE TINS: Scour them with a hunk of raw potato dipped in cleaning powder. RUSTING IRONWARE! Immerse in turpentine for anywhere from 1 to 3 days, depending on how much rust. Then scour with steel wool. You’ll have to break in the ironware all over again. RUSTING KNIVESi Stick them through an onion for Vt hour, then wash and polish. Wipe them with a very light coating of vegetable oil to keep the rust from returning. SMELLS IN BOTTLESi Fill bottle half full of water. Add 1 tablespoon mustard or baking soda. Shake well and let stand for 1 hour, then rinse. SMELLS ON CUTTING BOARD: Rub it with a sliced lemon or lime. SMELLS ON DISHESi Wash them in salt water. Or use a little ammonia in hot soapy water. Or add a bit of ground mustard to the wash water. SMELLS IN GARBAGE DISPOSAL: Grind half a lemon, orange or grapefruit in it. SMELLS ON GRATER: Rub a hard crust of bread over it. SMELLS IN KITCHEN: For an inexpensive and delightful kitchen deodorizer, put some orange peel in the oven at 350 degrees F. with the door ajar. SMELLS IN POTS AND PANS: Wash them in salt water or in hot soapy water plus a dash of ammonia. SMOKING GRIDDLE: To keep your griddle from smoking, rub it regularly with half a rutabaga. STAINED OR DARKENED ALUMINUMWARE: Boil 2 teaspoons cream of tartar in 1 quart water for 10 minutes to lighten darkened aluminum. STAINED DISHES: Soak them overnight in hot soda water (that’s water plus baking soda). Then rub with a vinegar-moistened cloth dipped in salt. This is especially effective on tea stains. STAINED GLASSWARE: If the stains are coffee stains, make tea in the utensil; the tannic acid of the tea should remove the coffee stains. STAINED PLASTICWARE: Soak for 20 minutes in a gallon of warm water plus 1 cup bleach. Wipe dry and then wash normally. If this doesn’t work, rub the stains with dry baking soda. If this doesn't work, sand the plastic with a very fine grade of silicon carbide paper (the black stuff that feels like sandpaper). Be sure the plastic is wet when you sand STAINED TEFLON: In the utensil, boil a mixture of 1 cup water, Vi cup bleach and 2 tablespoons baking soda. Then wash in warm suds. Recoat the Teflon with oil before using it. STUCK BOTTLE OR JAR TOPS: The technique: bang the top flatly on a hard surface, like the door. Not the edge, but the flat surface of the top. Just once. Hard. That’s all. And to think of all those jars we used to hold under hot water! STUCK PLASTIC WRAP: Some people, discouraged by the failure of the plastic wrap people to come up with a product where you can find the end when you want it, have taken to keeping their plastic wrap in the refrigerator. Cold plastic wrap is easier to handle and just as effective. STUCK TOGETHER GLASSES: Put cold water in the top one and put the bottom one in hot water, and they will come apart.

Ten persons attended. Since then on most “First Dap” a few Friends have continued to meet, with interested visitors joining the group from time to time. Moved some time ago to the waiting room of the Clinic in Washington, the Meeting until recently hadn’t grown. Regular attenders were Carroll and Arthalinda Quaintance, Mary Beth Martin and Allison, Sharon Kilpatrick, Douglas and Heather, and Lee and Diana Bird. Miriam Harris has been a frequent attender from the beginning. Several months ago Friends from outside the county heard of the meeting and began to attend. Mrs. Sarah Nenner and Mrs. Gladys Chilton of Remington, Ellis and Daphne Williams of Criglersville, and Mr. and Mrs. Mark Treadway and daughter Heather of Warrenton. Additional local attenders are Barbara and Stanley Thompson of Sperryville. With these new members, the Meeting is reaching the point where it can begin to plan to apply to the Baltimore yearly Meeting for preparatory status, prior to becoming a recognized regular Meeting. The Rappahannock Friends Meeting welcomes visitors and will seek to reach out to unknown Friends in the vicinity. The Meeting is an unprogramed period of meditation from 11:00-12:00 a.m. on Sundap. Persons interested in more information may call Diana Bird, 675-3263 or Sharon Kilpatrick, 987-8252.

In the decade from January 1960, to January 1970, the Dow Jones Industrial average jumped from 688 to 800 - an increase of 16 percent in ten years. During the same ten-year period, the average home price increased from $18,307 to $27,022 - an appreciation of 48 percent or triple the Dow. By January, 1977, the Dow Jones average jumped to the 1,000 level for a 16-year appreciation of 45 percent while home prices continued to increase faster than the cost of living to $46,000 - up 150 percent since 1960.

The fund raising crusade begins the last of March. Open Air Fire Law Now In Effect ' The Virginia Division of Forestry announced that effective March 1, the open air fire law goes into effect. The law specifies that between March 1 and May 15 of each year, it is unlawful to set fire to any brush, leaves, grass, debris, or field containing inflammable material capable of spreading fire, located in or within 300 feet of woodland or brushland. The law is designed as a forest fire prevention measure. The majority of all fires in the Spring originate from some type of outdoor burning. During March, April, and early May, the condition of both forest fuels and weather are most favorable for the starting and spreading of outdoor fires. Forest fuels are mostly dead and dry, and weather systems bring high winds, high temperatures, and low relative humidity, all of which result in a constant fire hazard to fields, woodland, and brushland during these months. All persons are urged to Follow the rules of fire safety.

Inc J) THURSDAY, MARCH 9,1978 A Second Chance The Rappahannock Supervisors have a second chance this year to do something about the hunting problem in the county. What was proposed at last week’s Board meeting was not a gun control ordinance but a hunter control law. It would give state game wardens a tool to fight “sportsmen” who shoot onto posted property from pickup trucks and roadways. Rappahannock’s Commonwealth’s Attorney opposes adoption of the ordinance. Last year, he called the regulations adopted in Culpeper and proposed for Rappahannock "contradictory and unenforcable.” This year, he charged they are inconsistent. His opinion varies sharply from information presented by Culpeper game warden Lee Haupt. Haupt told the Fauquier County Supervisors that 30 convictions had been won out of 31 citations under Culpeper’s hunter con trol ordinance. According to Rappahannock warden Jim Bankston, this year’s record is running just about the same. Fauquier game warden Gordon Wilkes acknowledged that he’d had some problems securing convictions under that county’s ordinance but attributed difficulties to loopholes in the wording of the law. He noted that it was currently before the Supervisors for revisions modeled after a similar Loudoun ordinance. According to Wilkes, convictions in Loudoun are running 100 per cent. Since Loudoun’s hunter control ordinance has proved so successful, we think the Rappahannock Board should take a look at it with an eye towards adopting a copy of it here. Something should be done before the roadside cowboys climb into their pick-ups and start charging around again this year, looking for deer on posted property. RICHMOND LINE • •• AGAINST TATTLETALES State Sen. Charles L. Waddell’s (DLoudoun-Fairfax) tattletale bill, which requires state motor vehicle inspection station operators to report customers who had failed to buy county, town or city tags, was killed last week by the House Committee on Roads and Internal Navigation. Waddell’s bill, which had made it through the Senate with few problems, ran into a great deal of controversy because it forced inspection station operators to serve in a law enforcement capacity. * APPOINTEES The Senate continues to be a nagging thorn in the side of Gov. John N. Dalton. It recently approved legislation that would provide for closer scrutiny of major gubernatorial appointments by Senate committees. BONDING ROADS A Senate bill which requires a subdivider to secure an indemnifying bond with the county for roads in a new subdivision passed the House of Delegates last week in an 85 to 7 vote. The bond must stay in effect until the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation takes over or approves the roads. RACING BILL The pari-mutuel betting bill, which was reported from the Senate Committee on General Laws with amendments, will not come up for action on the Senate floor until some time Wednesday. The Senate has been dealing primarily with non-controversial issues during the last week and plans to bring up those items that will call for prolonged debate on Wednesday. The Senate goes into session Wednesday at 9 a.m. which is three hours earlier than usual. The betting bill, sponsored by Del. Andy Guest (R-Warren), passed the House of Delegates in a 52-48 vote. However, the Senate General Laws committee felt that it needed amendments strengthening it. The committee approved measures that will prevent members of the General Assembly and their families from investing in race tracks as well as an amendment that prevents General Assembly members and their law partners from serving as counsel to or serving on the State Racing Commission. The committee failed to approve an amendment offered by State Sen. Charles L. Waddell (D-LoudounFairfax), which would have required referenda in jurisdictions adjacent to an area seeking a race track. Waddell’s amendment would have required unanimous consent from a region before a race track could have been built. He told the committee that he is an advocate of the betting bill but wanted to see those safeguards included. VETO AMENDMENT A Senate resolution calling for a November referendum on a proposed constitutional amendment that would adjust the General Assembly schedule to permit consideration of gubernatorial vetoes was approved by the house of Delegates last week. EYE BILL ADVANCES The Senate Committee on Education and Health voted 9 to 5 last week to report a House-passed bill that permits optometrists to use certain drugs in eye examinations.—Jim Pope Elizabeth Taylor Movie Showing At Library March 23 A series of three free evening programs to be given by the Rappahannock County Library starts March 23, 7:30 p.m. with Elizabeth Taylor's movie, National Velvet.

Eugene McCarthy will give us an evening talk, and in May, Byron Schumacher, Director of Photography for the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture and former official White House Staff photographer, will give us professional slide shows. To get the famous film National Velvet for our county Library showing is singular good luck. Elizabeth Taylor, now wife of the Senate aspirant John Warner of Middleburg, is a Virginia neighbor of ours. She attended last year’s Rappahannock Point-to-Point when John Warner was a Patrol Judge. She and John Warner both admire our county, so when asked, she graciously loaned the Rappahannock Library her own film of this now classic movie. “National Velvet” is an exciting story of two dedicated, courageous kids who perform the miracle of Blue Ridge Race Postponed Due to the severe winter weather conditions the Blue Ridge Hunt Point-to-Point Race Meeting, originally scheduled for Saturday, March 11th, has been postponed to Sunday, April 30th. A. R. (Pete) Dunning Jr. and William Gilbert, cochairmen of the race meeting, have announced that the ice and snow at the course at Woodley make it impossible to run horses J there this week. Reserved parking subscriptions and landowner tickets will be honored on the April 30th date. Tile schedule of races on April 30th will be the same as those originally scheduled for March 11th, with the Hunting Pair race starting at 11:00 a.m. and the regular races starting at 1:00 p.m. with the Open Flat Race for ladies and gentlemen. winning the Grand National Race with a horse won in a lottery. The color is beautiful, the sound track a joy and the actors the best. This was one of Micky Rooney’s first hits as well as Elizabeth Taylor’s. The film will start to roll at 7:30 p.m. sharp so come early to get a good seat for National Velvet, March 23, at the Rappahannock County Library. Girl Scouts Celebrate Girl Scouts and Brownies in Rappahannock County will be celebrating Girl Scout week March 12 through 18. The week will begin with the girls going to church together March 12, Girl Scout Sunday, the 66th birthday of Girl Scouts in the United States.

For one thing, the first carpeting was made on looms which were only of a yard wide. The carpets were made with long strips, which were then sewn together to form room-sized rugs. Gradually, looms were improved until at last broadloom carpeting became possible, creating carpets as wide as thirty feet. This has given us the ability, with expert installation, to provide beautiful carpeting for the largest rooms we can imagine.

MS-M71 changes in Richmond, February 24, 1978. Among the proposals to come out of the meeting were more liberal deer limits and one hen turkey in the fall for Eastern Virginia. Deer seasons west of the Blue Ridge remained basically unchanged. In the east, a three deer season limit was proposed for Powhatan, Amelia, Chesterfield, Dinwiddie, Prince George, Surry, Isle of Wight and Fairfax counties and for Suffolk City. Two does taken on separate days would be legal in all counties east of the Blue Ridge during the respective doe days” allotted to each county. Other changes included an 18 day doe season proposed for Lancaster, Northumberland counties and i Richmond Cbunty south of Rte. 360. A proposed increase from 3 to 6 days doe season was made for counties in the Southern Piedmont. Also included was 2 days of doe shooting on both sides of the dog line splitting counties from Nelson through Pittsylvania plus Bedford. A bag limit of two turkeys per year, one of which may be a hen in the fall, was proposed for those Eastern Virginia counties where fall hunting is allowed. Russell Co. in Southwest Virginia would be closed to fall turkey hunting due to low kills. Hunt Season Changes Proposed Coon and fox hunting and trapping season ' recommendations provoked the most discussion. High fur prices have hunters and trappers jealously fighting for their appropriate “share” of the harvest. Changes proposed include a raccoon trapping season east of 1-95 from December 15, 1978 to March 10, 1979 and a fox trapping season for the same area from December 15, 1978 thru January 31, 1979. In Southwest Virginia, December 1, 1978 through January 31, 1979 trapping dates were proposed for foxes. Proposed hunting season changes would restrict coon hunting on the George Washington National Forest and nearby public lands to November 1, 1978 through December 31, while in eastern Virginia coon hunting would extend from October 1, 1978 through February 28, 1979. Fox hunters in southwest Virginia would face a restricted December 1, 1978 through January 31, 1979 taking season while in the George Washington National Forest and nearby public lands, the fox season would be expanded to November 1, 1978 through January 31, Other proposed regulations that would affect trappers include outlawing baited connibear cubby sets with jaws larger than S inches, requiring name and address on all traps in possession in the field, and prohibiting the trapping of otter west of the Blue Ridge. -_JM. _ „ _ _ — Rappahannock New* Photo/S.

Carney said he’d contacted the Deacons of Shiloh Baptist Church regarding the use of the Church’s Sunday School building. The building is clean, neat, located off the main road and has parking space and sanitary facilities, according to Carney, adding that he expected a decision from the Deacons later in March.
