Its woodlands and fields—including J. W. Fletcher’s picturesque Thornton Hill Farm, scene of the Rappahannock Point-toPoint racecourse—are in their most beautiful spring colors. The Rappahannock Point-to-Point races, twice postponed due to bad weather, are now firmly set for Saturday. May 20. This year’s meeting will be the 29th running of the Rappahannock races. The 10 race card will end with the famous Hound Race which draws Virginia’s top foxhpunds in a spirited drag race. This event, always a favorite, has traditionally symbolized the special flavor of the Rappahannock Pointto-Points. This year’s races include two new events. A pony race for riders under 16 years old will be a flat race over gently rolling land. The new Mount Marshall race for foxhunters will be run over a 3-'/« mile course. Riders and mounts must have hunted with an organized hunt this past season. Warm weather and the rolling hills of Rappahannock County should make this a popular day for race fans. Ron David, wellknown radio-TV personality, will man the public address system and provide added color and information. Refreshments will be available at the course. Tickets will be sold at the gate and the public is cordially invited. Mrs. Chester W. Fannon of Castleton, Virginia is Race Secretary. Mayor, Council Re-Elected Newbill Miller was returned to the office of Mayor of the Town of Washington along with the entire council in a quiet election Tuesday. Total ballots cast numbered 69. Three ballots were voided. The council consists of Dorothy Gater who received 57 votes; C. E. Giles Jr., 62; Dorothy Hawkins 62; Charlie Jenkins 64; and H. T. Updike 49, all incumbents. Also on the council slate was Charles Manson who garnered 15 votes. There were six write-in votes for council members, designating a variety of candidates. Two Mayoral write-ins named Bill Curtis and Jennings Hobson while one vote was cast for Ronny Hawkins as treasurer. Library Slide Show Set On Tuesday, May 16, at 7:30 p.m. the Rappahannock Library will sponsor a multimedia slide show. Presented by Byron Schumaker, Chief of the Photographic Division, U.S. Department of Agriculture, the show will consist of two timely slide sequences: ‘‘The Face of Rural America,” produced in 1976 under Mr. Schumaker’s direction, and “China Today” from film he was able to take in 1972 during President Nixon’s first trip to that country. This special “three screen” show is made possible by an impressive array of technology. Images will be thrown onto a huge screen, sometimes singly and sometimes dissolving into as many as five separate scenes. Ten projectors produce the images. They in turn are cued by the sound tape, through punch tape programming. "The Face of Rural America” deals with farm people and production methods all across the United States, Rappahannock County included. To be seen are farm families to harvest pineapple in Hawaii, and maple syrup in Vermont. There are ‘‘tractor pulls” and cattle auctions, views of sheep herding and pig farming. The second segment of the program is Byron Schumaker’s personal glimpse of China today. As a White House photographer, with the late Ollie Atkins of Rappahannock County, Mr. Schumaker had the opportunity to accompany President Nixon and to record many scenes of Chinese life, including people from various levels of society. There are scenes from farm and city, rural communes and large athletic events, the Great Wall of China and the Forbidden City in Peking. The entire program will last about one hour, after which Mr. Schumaker will be happy to answer questions. The Rappahannock Library looks for a good turn-out for this special event, so come early to be sure of seating. There is no admission charge. —Photo courtesy Roger Flinch urn MISS RAPPAHANNOCK—Lois Ann Grigsby was named Miss Rappahannock in a beauty pageant held April 21.

Robbery Investigation Continues Law enforcement officials from the State Police and Sheriffs Departments in Rappahannock, Culpeper and Madison Counties report no new developments in the search for robbery-murder suspects who held up stores in Sperryvilie, True Blue and Mitchells last week. Mr. and Mrs. Chambers were both shot during the robbery of their store in True Blue on Wednesday, April 26. Mrs. Chambers died as a result of her wounds and Mr. Chambers was listed in satisfactory condition at the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville as of Wednesday afternoon. T. E. McMullan, former chairman of the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors, was shot in the head during the hold-up of his store in Mitchells that occurred on the same day. University Hospital personnel reported on Wednesday that he remained in critical condition. Investigators believe the two robberies on Wednesday were committed by the same men who held up Mr. Jefferson’s Store in Sperryville on Tuesday, April 25. The suspects are described as black males, one about 5’11” of slight build with bushy hair, the other approximately 5’6” and stocky. The shorter man has been identified as having a goatee but investigators now believe the facial hair may be false. Flower Show Set For June 3 Flower enthusiasts should mark Saturday, June 3 on their calendar and attend the flower show sponsored by the Rappahannock Garden Gub which will be held in the Washington school auditorium from 2 until 8 p.m. The show theme is ‘‘Nostalgia’’ and will include artistic and educational exhibits as well as the horticultural exhibits. Gasses for horticultural exhibits will include peonies, iris, roses, perennials and shrubs, and the artistic group has 5 classes for arrangements, including one class for men only, plus an inter-club invitation arrangement class. In the educational vein, T. J. Pillar of Sperryviile will have an interesting display of Indian artifacts which he has found on his property. Admission to the show is $1.50 for adults and 75 cents for children. Those wishing a show brochure may contact Mrs. Charles H. Estes, chairman, Mrs. C. E. Johnson, both of Sperryviile, or Mrs. Douglas Fairfax of Washington, who is club president.

Staff Writer After a hearing in Circuit Court on Thursday, Judge Carleton Penn allowed the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors to intervene in the suit brought by the Ski Corporation against the county Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA). Penn ruled that the Supervisors had been aggrieved by the BZA’s denial of the ski area’s special use permit application for a snowless Alpine slide, skiing and other related uses, and made the Board of Supervisors a defendant in the case. In opening remarks, Commonwealth, Attorney George Davis noted that the petition for writ of certiorari filed by the ski area challenged the county zoning ordinance by specifically attacking the vagueness of criteria established for evaluating special use permits. Since the constitutionality of the zoning ordinance had been questioned, this made the Supervisors an aggrieved party, argued Davis. He also maintained that the ski area’s efforts to recover costs and attorney’s fees resulting from the BZA’s denial of the permit application gave the Supervisors status as aggrieved party since the BZA was an administrative body of the county. “Administration and enforcement of Rappahannock's zoning ordinance is the duty of the Board of Supervisors,” Davis continued. He argued that it is the Board’s burden and responsibility, as governing body of the county, to see that the ordinances are not violated by representatives of county government—in this case, the Board of Zoning Appeals. Davis contended in the intervention petition that the BZA had no power to either approve or deny the ski area’s special use permit application and so acted beyond its scope and in violation of county ordinances in considering the permit request. BZA attorney Robert Fitzgerald countered that the Board of Supervisors had not been aggrieved by the denial of the ski area’s application. He noted that, in other Virginia cases, 'a county's governing body was usually allowed to intervene in proceedings where the BZA had granted a permit or allowed a special use that was detrimental to the public welfare. Acknowledging that Davis had maintained no special use permit was necessary to allow the uses requested by the ski area, Fritzgerald stated “if that's true, then the Board of Supervisors is not aggrieved.” If no special permit is needed for the Alpine slide and other uses, then the Supervisors can instruct the Zoning Administrator to issue the necessary building permits, he said. Moot Point The Board of Supervisors can order its agent to do whatever the Supervisors want and therefore, can very well make the BZA’s decision to deny the application a moot point, Fitzgerald continued. But it’s not up to the court to do this—it’s up to the Supervisors, he argued. In regard to the constitutionality of the zoning ordinance, Fitzgerald maintained that this issue was not subject to decision in a certiorari proceeding. “Law does not provide for the BZA to make a deterimination on the validity of criteria for judging special use permits and so this question is not subject to review in certiorari proceedings,” and therefore, not grounds for intervention by the Supervisors, he said. Speaking in favor of the petition to intervene, ski area attorney Douglas Baumgardner stated that the Supervisors have a direct interest in the outcome of litigation challenging the constitutionality of Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance. He also maintained that the intervention petition’s allegation that the BZA acted outside its authority in considering the special use permit application gave the Supervisors standing as aggrieved party. Baumgardner added that Circuit Court Judge Raynor V. Snead had allowed the Rappahannock Supervisors to intervene in another case brought against the BZA. Certainly Aggrieved “The Board of Supervisors is certainly an aggrieved party when the constitutionality of the zoning ordinance is attacked...when damages are demanded...when the Board of Zoning Appeals exceeds its authority,” countered Davis. “1 don’t know how the Board of Supervisors could be more aggrieved than by an administrative body (of local government) acting beyond its authority,” he said. He described the BZA’s denial of the ski area's special use permit application as “contrary to the purpose and intent” of the zoning ordinance and repeated that it was the Supervisors’ responsibility to enforce the zoning ordinance with respect to violation by agents of the Board. Fitzgerald, in rebutal, said he didn’t question the right of the Supervisors to intervene to defend the constitutionality of the zoning ordinance but maintained this question was not addressed in the intervention petition filed by Davis. Judge Penn agreed. He noted that Davis had ’’alluded” to the constitutional challenge and “peripherally mentioned” costs and counsel fees for which the county may be liable but had failed to raise these issues properly in the intervention petition. However, Penn said the argument that the BZA acted beyond its powers in considering the special use permit application gave the Supervisors a “toe hold" to come into the suit. He also granted Davis 21 days to amend the intervention petition to reflect arguments regarding constitutional questions and possible costs and attorney’s fees that may be incurred by the BZA and ultimately, the county.

Bottle Sails 100 Miles On a summer afternoon in 1969, Greg Bright celebrated Christmas in August by tossing a glass bottle with a message sealed inside into the Thornton River at Sperryville. Nine years and 100 miles later, Greg’s message reached its destination. Richard C. Payne, a procurement official with the U. S. Navy Center at Dahlgren, was walking along the banks of the Rappahannock at Port Royal two weeks ago when he spotted a small glass bottle half hidden in driftwood and marsh grass. Payne said he'd hoped to find a check for $1 million inside so he could quit work and retire. “I knew the thing had a message in it. My hands were wet and 1 was so anxious to get it out, 1 broke the bottle.” But instead of a check, the shattered bottle held a faded blue Christmas card that told the story of Christ’s birth in a clear typewritten message. “His mother knew that Jesus would grow up to do wonderful things. People who saw the baby knew he had been sent from God,” it read. Payne took the message home to his family and they contacted Greg Bright who’d signed the short note nine years before. According to Greg, he’d almost forgotten about his bottle launch until contacted by Payne and a reporter from the Free Lancethe Free Lance-Mar in Fredericksburg. He was only seven years old when he wrote his name underneath the Christmas message and nine years is a long time. Greg said that the Paynes were planning on a trip to Rappahannock to meet him and added that he was looking forward to seeing them. Sunbeams In 1969, Greg was a “Slinbeam” in Mary Clark’s Sunday school class at the Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church. As part of their Christmas in August celebration, Mrs. Clark recalled that her Sunbeams sent gifts to children in Baptist missionary fields and held a ceremonial launching of bottles carrying Christmas messages into the Thornton River. "We were hoping the bottles would be found around Christmas time,” Mrs. Clark said. If any of the bottles reached a destination that December, the finders didn’t bother to let the Reynolds Sunbeams know. Payne is the first person to respond to any of those messages sent in 1969. “1 told your brother Gary that if he’d been a good boy, they’d have found his bottle," Mrs. Clark remarked jokingly to Greg. Mary Clark’s church classes have been sending bottle messages for years. She’s had an answer from one other besides Greg’s. Her daughter Kristi tossed a bottle into the Thornton when she was about three years old. Two years later, Kristi received a note from a girl in Oklahoma. As the Thornton doesn’t flow quite that far, Mrs. Clark guessed that the finder of her daugher's note was visiting in Virginia at the time. Another Bottle Launched Mrs. Clark’s Christmas in August project has inspired Debra Payne, Richard Payne's 15-year-old daughter. Since her father found Greg Bright's bottle, she's convinced that river messages eventually reach their destination. So using an unbreakable plastic bottle, she has floated a note—a poem of friendship with her name and address included—down the Rappahannock. "1 just wanted to see if anyone else would answer it,” Debra said.

Florence Williamson, Woodville’s herb lady, plans to entertain the public on those two special days with demonstrations on everything anyone needs to know about herbs—from growing to drying to which go best in salads, teas, soups and sauces. What Mrs. Williamson doesn’t know about herbs probably isn’t worth learning. She started in the business in 1961 and hit the big time right away with an outlet at the National Cathedral’s plant shop. This year is the first since 1962 that she hasn’t taken her herbs into the city. Growing herbs takes up hours of her day, particularly at this time of year. "It keeps me busy and on my toes,” she said, interrupting her herb fair preparations to entertain guests with herb tea, herb sandwiches and conversation. “1 spent my whole morning running back and forth — checking, moving, watering, shading. The only time I can transplant is 4 a.m. It's the only time I don’t have interruptions.” Warm weather brings a steady stream of visitors pouring through Mrs. Williamson’s home. With no advertisement, her reknown as a herb expert has spread by word of mouth. Restauranteurs shop at Oak Forest for fresh herbs. A couple from Pennsylvania interested in starting their own herb buisness showed up recently for “how to” hints. Visitors from Washington, D. C., Fredericksburg and other places closer to home drop by to look, buy plants and sample her teas and vinegars. She’s expecting a class of beginning gardeners from a private school in Loudoun County who chose her farm for their class field trip. "It starts this time of year. I spend the whole day pouring tea,” she smiled. But Mrs. Williamson doesn’t see her guests as intrusions. Far from hi The chance to share her love for herbs is part of the reason she began growing them. “It brings so many interesting people here," she remarked. With current trends toward natural medicine, there has been renewed interest in curative properties of herbs. Mrs. Williamson is often asked what varieties can be used to treat physical ailments but as much as she welcomes the opportunity to talk about herbs, she said she doesn't hand out medical advice. Instead, she directs inquiries to any of several excellent books on herbal medicines. But she's quick to note that certain herbs have special properties. She grows between 40 and 50 different kinds and uses all sorts of combinations in her teas. "Some—like camomile—are quite relaxing," she said.

Latham REMOVING COVERS FROM THE COLD FRAMES Mrs. Williamson gradually acclimates the tender young plants to outdoor living and ready for selling and planting in home gardens. little children to soothe their tummies and make them stop crying.” "When I first started growing herbs, people didn’t use them much around here,” she recalled. “Now young folks in particular are very interested.” Mrs. Williamson plans to press some of her young friends into service to help with the herb fair. Along with Woodville’s herb lady, they’ll give demonstrations on several novel ways of using herbs, including putting them in sandwiches. After sampling a chive sandwich with some of Mrs. Williamson’s special herb dressing and hot herb tea—a pot steeped with lemon verbena and rosemary—it's hard to imagine why these sandwiches aren't standard fare in restaurants and homes. They’re delicious! The delicate flavors of all the different herbs used in the dressing, in the tea and on the sandwich mingle and compliment each other to produce an unusual taste treat. It's a step up from bologna and cheese or peanut butter and jelly for lunch. Mrs. Williamson starts her herbs on shelves under grow lights in a tiny basement room. “It’s sort of an incubator,” she explained. Next, they’re moved to a “half-way house”—a cold frame with heating coil—before the final trip to standard cold frames set out in her terraced garden. She enjoys the work of raising her plants as much as she enjoys using them in cooking and for her teas, salad dressings, vinegars and sandwiches. The anticipation of things to come is a constant reward for the hours spent digging in dirt. "I practically drool while I'm sitting there with my trowel," Mrs. Williamson admitted. “When 1 transplant basil, I enjoy it so much. You just can’t help but think of a nice tossed salad." Although she has many tried and true recipes, Florence Williamson is always looking for fresh ideas. "I really use my herbs. It's fun. I'm experimenting all the time, trying new things.” Her adventuresome spirit carries beyond an interest in gardening. Last winter, she took a course in creative HERB PLANTS receive tender loving care from Mrs. Flossie Williamson in the basement of her home where they, are started and grown under flour esc exit lights. Hundreds of plants in neat rows on flats are alternated in the lighted areas. writing and if her success with her herb business is any indication, a new career in literature may lie ahead. "Life begins at eighty,” she said with a smile.

Help Whh VEPCO Rates? Attorney General Marshall Coleman announced on Monday the establishment of an energy advisory panel, whose first task will be to assist the Attorney General’s Office in investigating Vepco s $246 million rate request now before the State Corporation Commission. Coleman said the panej would help to end the atmosphere of crisis that surrounds most utility rate cases. “Our problem is that we are again acting in a crisis atmosphere of claim and counterclaim ... of one expert witness contradicting the testimony of another ... making it almost impossible to get behind the balance sheet to find out whether a rate increase is actually necessary, and if so how much,” Coleman said. Because of the need for more information than is available in the hearing room, I am calling on the . ?"in i i ^ ii diverse resources of Virginia to establish an energy advisory panel which will address the questions of how to meet electrical needs and still retain reasonable rates for consumers,” he explained. “I feel that Vepco’s latest rate increase request ... is of such magnitude, and will have such an effect on Virginia consumers, that we must take a serious look at the need for the requested rate hike, and look at the way Vepco is doing things,” Coleman added. Cbleman says the panel will serve as an ongoing advisory body during his administration "in an effort to head off the extraordinary increases like the one we face today. This panel’s expertise could help us foresee management problems and help prevent the crisis atmosphere in which we now conduct rate hearings,” Social Security Application Everyone, regardless of age or place of birth, must now submit evidence of age, identity, and U.S. citizenship or lawful admission status when applying for a social security number, Bruce Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said today. These procedures are intended to help protect the applicant’s social security record, assure that it is complete and accurate, and to prevent anyone else from misusing or abusing the person's social security number. In addition, a person 18 or over who is applying for a number for the first time, must apply in person. The best evidence of a person’s age and U. S. citizenship is a birth certificate. Hundley said. This should be submitted if possible. But if it is not available, other documentary evidence can be used. Evidence of identity should include documentation which shows the person’s picture, signature, date of birth or age, or other identifying information. Applicants not born in the U. S. should submit evidence of their U. S. citizenship or their immigration documents showing they are lawfully admitted to the U. S. A person should allow plenty of time to get the number. It takes 3 to 4 weeks to issue the number and deliver the card after all required evidence has been submitted. For further information contact the Social Security Office located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center, Culpeper, Va., and the telephone number is 8253500. 11th Annual SALE Nowl«P'og,eSS Thru June 10 SpecHsavings on famous (Armstrong Iminer Solartan: The only no-wax floor with beauMuy rich Inlaid Color o* to 45 P*r sq. yd. on stock EARLY'S CARPET SALES & SERVICE -TWO LOCATIONS - Route 211 - Amissville 937-sm 502 N. Main St - Culpeper 8254232 County Gets Shuttle Service Rappahannock County now has a bus service. It’s not Greyhound or Trail ways, but Ron Wilson’s shuttle service promises to provide cheap, reliable transportation to Culpeper and Front Royal for those who don’t have a car to drive for grocery shopping and doctor appointments. After living in Rappahannock for five years, Ron recognized the need for some type of public transportation. With his six passenger van, he hopes to be able to at least partially fill that need. He began with transporting clients for the Welfare and Health Departments on a contractual basis and now plans to expand with regularly scheduled runs to Culpeper on Fridays and Front Royal on Saturdays. According to Wilson, posters will soon go up in stores and post offices, giving the exact time of stops along his route. On the Culpeper swing, he plans to pick up passengers in Etlan, Sperryville, Woodville and Boston. The sweep to Front Royal' will have stops in Washington, Flint Hill and Huntly. He expects to run both routes, including layover time in town, in approximately three hours. Passenger pick-ups along his runs will be at post offices i£ the villages. Wilson has a chauffeur’s license and the necessary insurance coverage, both prerequisites for the license he obtained from the State Corporation Commission to run a shuttle service. He doesn’t have a two-way radio in his van so it won’t be possible for prospective clients to reach him while he’s out on the route but he noted that he’ll check in frequently with his wife Debra. He added that she’d be at the Wilson home busy with the care of twin babies so she would be available full-time to take messages. Once he has the shuttle service in full operation, he suggested that passengers call him at home (987-8159) to reserve a seat on the van. Otherwise, it will be first come, first serve. Ron said he will increase the number of trips he makes into Culpeper and Front Royal, adding routes on other days, if the demand grows. He added that he will also provide special charter service or pick up passengers at spots other than village post offices if he has the time. Charter service or special pick-up will have to be arranged ahead of time by phone. “I’d love to be as busy as I can if 1 can fit it in," Ron concluded. Wakefield Art Show Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly will hold its annual spring ART SHOW on Saturday, May 13 in the school garden. The show is open to all area private and public school students in grades 1-9. There will be three categories: 1. painting and drawing; 2. sculpture; and 3. photography. Students may make entries in any one or all three categories. In the category of painting and drawing (oil, pastels, acrylics, water color, pencil, ink, charcoal, etc.) there will be three classes: BEGINNER (grades 1, 2, and 3); INTERMEDIATE (grades 4, 5, and 6); and ADVANCED (grades 7, 8, and 9). In the categories of sculpture and photography, there will be one class only (grades 1-9). Judging will be done by a panel of impartial, professional artists. Cash prizes of up to $15 will be awarded to the winners in each category, and a plaque will be awarded to the school having the greatest number of winners. Building?

Soil Stewardship Week The United States’ annual loss of five million acres of rural land to non-agricultural use is a special concern during this year's celebration of Soil Stewardship Week April 30-May 7, Melvin H. Nace, chairman of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District announced today. This year’s Soil Stewardship Week theme, “Compelling Ventures,” also stresses the importance of controlling water pollution caused by run-off from unprotected farms, ranches, roadsides, and construction sites, Nace added. Soil Stewardship Week is a nationwide observance which emphasizes man’s responsibility to protect and conserve soil, water, and other natural resources. Traditionally, churches and local citizen’s groups participate. "Nearly 3,000 conservation District throughout the U. S. will focus their attention upon conserving and preserving America’s best farmland during this 21st annual observance of Soil Stewardship Week,” Nace said. “The U. S. Department of Agriculture estimates that of the five million acres annually lost to agriculture, nearly one million acres are classed as ’prime’ land—the best and most productive land we have. We are encouraging the preservation of these top-quality farmlands for farming rather than their indiscrimminate use for housing developments, highways, shopping centers, and the like.” Arts-Crafts Group Meets The Arts and Crafts Group meeting will be held Tuesday, May 9 at 10:00 a.m. at CabInn, Sperryville. Mrs. Milton R. Grimsley of Culpeper will begin a class on tole painting. Please bring tin ware. Anyone interested for more information call Mrs. T. J. Pillar at 987-8943.

Main St., Culpeper —Rappahannock New* Photo/Sarah Latham Our Rappahannock Heritage Solar Principals Explained This is the first of a series of articles on solar energy. The series will explain some of the basic concepts, economics and feasibility of solar energy in heating homes as well as other applications. Although there is an abundance of information available on solar energy, this tremendous flood of data has created confusion due to the wide range of possible applications of solar energy. While each system must be tailored for individual needs based upon climatic conditions, building materials and budget considerations, the principles of solar energy are simple. On a large scale the sun already provides most of the energy used on the earth, generating energy to drive the entire solar system. The sun gives life through the process of photosynthesis from which all fossil fuels derive. Prevailing winds, powering ships and windmills are set in motion by the earth’s rotation and also rise and fall because of air masses heated by the sun. The energy of the wind and sun also drive the cycle of evaporation and rainfall, which creates the basis of hydropower. Bill Mashburn, Virginia Tech Extension specialist, technical resources, explained how the sun's energy can be used in houses. "A solar heating system captures a small amount of the continuous bath of radiating heat from the sun to directly heat buildings, rather than indirectly through the use of fossil fuels. Any solar system consists of three generic components: collectors, storage, and distribution. “A collector is any material that absorbs and traps the sun’s energy, whether a panel specifically designed to absorb light or just a window with a southern exposure. Storage can take place in the construction materials such as a masonry wall which may absorb heat, all day and radiate the stored heat during the night. A medium such as water may be used to retain the heat until it is needed during the night or cloudy days. Distribution can be by convection from a heated wall or by air circulated in ducts,” he said. There are many types of solar heating methods and systems and even more collector designs. They range from very simple methods such as solar-oriented windows that can be used with any home to special components that can be added to the house directly or next to the house. Basically, solar heating systems fall into two categories; active and passive systems. Most systems combine these to some extent because the efficiency is increased. The way the sun’s heat can be used is easy to examine. When the south side of a building is warmed by the sun it tends to aid space heating of the interior in winter or can cause overheating in summer. If different materials or mechanisms are used to facilitate the absorption of this heat it can be transferred from the outer building surfaces to the interior more efficiently or stored until needed. In a passive system the building materials serve for both collecting and storage. They trap the sun's heat and transmit it to interior space using natural forces such as gravity and convection. When there is no sun, the heat stored by the materials is reradiated and warms the building. A strictly passive system would use only sun and wind energy to transmit this heat, but in practice many passive systems use fans to move air or motors to operate insulation panels, making the passive system more effective, Mashburn said. Active systems work the same said Mashburn, but the components are designed to function more efficiently with the addition of mechanical equipment such as pumps and valves to facilitate heat distribution and storage. In a solar collector, a lightabsorbent material is covered by glass or plastic to minimize outward reradiation and cooling. As the collector is exposed to the sun’s rays, heat is removed from the absorber by the passage of air or liquid to the building where it is stored or distributed. Presently there is little monetary assistance available to Virginia residents for conversion to solar heating, but there are low interest loans for improvement of the thermal insulation value of homes. These improvements can fall into the category of passive energy systems. Improvement of the insulation value of a house is necessary for maximum efficiency in any solar system. Information about the home improvement loans available to Virginia residents can be obtained from the Virginia Housing Development Authority, Fifth and Franklin Streets, Richmond, Va. 23219. Besides these loans, Mashburn explained, other monetary support is being enacted by the legislature which passed a bill allowing localities the option of a personal property tax exemption for investments in solar heating systems. As solar energy research continues, it seems likely that monetary incentives will increase, so the future for solar heating appears promising. 1978-79 ,■ School Calendar (Clip and save) 1978-*79 Rappahannock School Calendar August 16 — Administrative Meeting August 21 — Inservice for new teachers August 22-25 — Professional days August 28 — First day of school September 1 — Professional day (no classes) September 4 — Labor Day holiday October 9 — End of the first six weeks grading period October 16 — Parent conferences from 2 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. (no classes) November 3 — Professional day (no classes) November 22 — End of the second six weeks grading period November 23 and 24 — Thanksgiving holidays December 22 — Beginning of Christmas holidays January 2 — School reopens January 18 — End of the third six weeks grading period January 19 — Professional day (no classes) January 29 — Parent conferences from 2 p.m. to 8:30 p.m (no classes) February 19 — Washington’s Birthday holiday March 5 — Professional day (no classes) March 7 — End of the fourth six weeks grading period April 11-17 — Easter holidays April 24 — End of the fifth six weeks grading period May 28 — Memorial Day holiday June 6 — Final day of school June 7 and 8 — Teacher work days Priority schedule for makeup days 1.

PEC Conference Who Decides Our Future? How much control do local governments have over local land use decisions? Not enough, according to a growing number of county officials. Increasingly, they are finding their "hands are tied" by judicial decisions and by "big government" in general. This issue will be addressed in detail at a conference to be held May 15 and 16 at Airlie House near Warrenton. Elected officials from Rappahannock. Charlottesville, Loudoun and Albemarle Counties will describe how planning efforts in their areas are hindered by either state or federal government mandates or adverse decisions by Virginia judges. The conference, cosponsored by the Piedmont Environmental Council and the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, will be open to the public and concerned citizens are encouraged to attend. The two-day agenda has been designed to outline actual problems facing local officials in the northern Piedmont. On Monday, presentations include: —The legal side of land use—Assistant Attorney General Mason Jacks with lawyers from Fauquier, Loudoun and Albemarle Counties will discuss personal liability of county Supervisors in action to deny rezoning requests and circuit court reversals of rezoning denials. —Needed: A New Theory of Land Use Planning—U Va Professor of Law Thomas Bergin. —What Needs to be done to preserve farmland in the Commonwealth? — Earl Shi Pet, former Virginia Secretary of Agriculture and Commerce. —Where does the professional planner fit in the picture?—Description of efforts to preserve farmland and open space in Fauquier, Loudoun, Orange and Clarke Counties presented by planning commission members and planning staff. The relationships among planners, planning commissions and elected officials will be discussed. —Can a county determine its own future?—Loudoun County Supervisor Frank Raflo. Tuesday’s presentations include: —Local government: An endangered species?—Local elected officials, including Washington Mayor Newbill Miller, will describe how their "hands are tied” by the courts and the state legislature, lack of proper professional staff or legal counsel and federal mandates. — What role for Richmond?— How the Dillon Rule affects local land use planning; what the different attitudes around the state are in regard to development pressures; whether local governments can time-phase growth; and can “orderly development” legislation be passed by the General Assembly. —Citizen’s response—what have we learned and where do we go from here?—panel members include Bob Dennis, environmental consultant from Flint Hill and PEC Board Chairman B. Powell Harrison. For further information on registration for the PEC land use conference, call PEC offices in Warrenton, 3472334. / he Little Fox T Scouier Honored Thelma M.

Plants Need Vacations Too As summer approaches, make plans to give house plants a vacation out-ofdoors, recommended a Virginia Tech Extension home horticulturalist. "Most house plants seem to benefit from being outside during the warmer months,” said Diane Relf, extension specialist. The transition from indoors to outdoors should be gradual to avoid problems, she said. Sudden changes in environment can be disastrous to many tropical plants. Relf recommended waiting at least a full month after the last killing frost before the plants are left out overnight. Some tropical plants can be injured severely if the temperature drops even into the 40’s. A gradual change in light intensity also is important. House plants can easily be sunburned if exposed to sudden intense light. "Start by placing the plants under trees and slowly move them to the setting with the optimum light for the particular species,” she said, cautioning that few plants will ever want full, bright sun. However, variegated plants generally require slightly more light than solid green plants of the same species. After transferring the plants outdoors, Relf warned that it is essential that care be taken to water them properly. "The plants will be growing much more vigorously and require much more water when indoors,” she said. Hanging baskets especially are prone to water stress. Most plants also will require more fertilizer when grown out-of-doors. A diluted, liquid fertilizer may be applied every two weeks. Relf also cautioned gardeners to be careful in areas where high winds are common. Plants should be placed in a protected location or provided with a wind break. Otherwise, there is danger that the leaves will be severely shredded or burned by the winds. “Watch for weeds that may develop from seeds blown into the pot," she said. Insect pests need to be controlled with appropriate insecticides. Be particularly cautious about chewing insects such as caterpillars and loopers as they can do a great deal of damage in a short time. Red spider, another offensive pest of many plants, can be partially controlled by frequent spraying with the garden hose, Relf said. A shady back porch or terrace is an ideal location for ferns, gardenias, begonias and many other plants. The location gives them a chance to renew their vigor out-ofdoors and yet be close to the living area so they will continue to provide pleasure.

Treat Ice Damaged Trees The effect of the Easter Sunday ice storm on trees in Rappahannock County could be drastic, according to Dr. Elwood Fisher, professor of biology at James Madison University. He said it would be wise to use a pruning paint on the wounds to protect the tree from fungal growth. Consumers Have Rights If the supermarkets advertise a special, customers have a right to buy the product at the advertised price immediately upon request, said Glen H. Mitchell, consumer education Extension specialist at Virginia Tech. The Federal Trade Commission has ruled that supermarkets must make specials available at the price advertised—either on the shelf or upon request. “Look for specials and compare the prices before you shop,” Mitchell suggested. Recent studies indicate that up to 10 per cent saving on food can be had by buying those things you need and taking advantage of sales. In the store, customers need to find the exact products at the price advertised. “Take the ad with you or look at newspaper ads posted in the store. Be certain the product is marked correctly and the checkout personnel rings the sale price,” he said. "If you are unable to find the advertised item, contact the manager,” Mitchell recommended. He may offer you a raincheck. But the commission said that’s not enough. Customers have a right to the product at the advertised price, as long as they follow any limitations such as clipping a coupon or purchasing a minimum amount of other products. If the store makes a habit of not having the items as advertised, report this to the Federal Trade Commission. Washington Area Field Office, 6th Floor, 2120 L St., N. W., Washington, D. C. 20037.

Fisher uses a preparation known by the brand name “Treekote” as a fungacide paint. “It is not necessary to do it tomorrow,” Fisher said. “Fungal growth is relatively slow on healthy trees and unless the tree was old and unhealthy to begin with, a person has a year or two to attend to it to avoid permanent harm.” “Trees are like people,” he added. "They are naturally resistant to certain fungi and bacteria; thus some of the trees damaged from the storm will recover even without care.” Fisher noted that evergreens and birches, which are endemic to northern climes, withstood the storm comparatively well. “Wounded evergreens discharge a resin that serves almost the same purpose as pruning paint,” he said. “And birches are supple. Some of their branches may break off, but the tree usually bounces back. Hickory and walnut trees sustained very little damage; oaks sometimes uprooted but otherwise suffered little harm. Maples and elms were perhaps the worst hit.” Fisher said. r 1 "Food Specialties -If we don't have it, we can get it for you" J Canadian Bacon / Haagan - Dazs * Ice Cream j Blueberry or * Cheese Blintzes ✓ Egg Rolls y Meredyth Wines y Orange Pekoe, Mint Darjeeling Jasmine Tea V Hodgson Mill flours & com meal JIMMIE'S OLD TO WISE MARKET 22 Main St Warrantee 347-1942 About ten years ago, a similar fate hit trees in the Swift Run Gap area. Fisher, who has been keeping check on the effects of that storm over the intervening years, said that the old, unhealthy trees, badly damaged, have died but that the young healthy ones have overcome the effects of the storm. “All forms of life are resilient, it appears,” Fisher commented. He bemoaned the fact, however, that there are not nearly enough professional tree surgeons in the area to ensure there will be proper recovery of trees from the Easter Sunday storm of 1978.

DMV Changes Hours Beginning May 4 all Division Motor Vehicles branch offices will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursdays, according to Vem L Hill, commissioner. Hours will remain 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. other weekdays. “This change will make our services more accessible to many citizens, and is part of our continuing efforts to be responsive to Virginian's needs,” Hill said. “We tested these hours for six months in the Northern Virginia area, and response there clearly indicates that many people prefer the later hours.” ‘‘We know it will be almost impossible to get news of Thursday hours to everyone," Hill said. ‘‘The only real complaints we had in Northern Virginia were from people who arrived at an office at 8:30 a.m. and found it didn’t open until 10. We will try to combat that by enclosing information on new hours with vehicle and driver renewal notices.” Hill stressed that DMV license agents and examining stations will not be subject to the new hours.

Ticks Here Again Warm Spring weather has increased tick activity and the State Health Department’s Bureau of Epidemiology has begun receiving queries regarding Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. The disease is usually transmitted by a tick. It is serious in humans with a death rate of around 20 percent in untreated cases. During 1977, 154 cases of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever were reported in Virginia. Seven were fatal. No cases have been reported this year according to Dr. Grayson Miller, director of the health department’s bureau of epidemiology. ’’The most important things to remember about preventing Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever,” said Dr. Miller, "are to wear proper clothing in tick infested areas, check yourself and your children twice a day for ticks, remove them properly, and seek medical care at the first sign of symptoms.” Ticks abound in tall grass, brush, and heavily wooded areas. To reduce exposure when going into these areas Dr. Miller suggests wearing long sleeved shirts buttoned 1 For all your printing needs...

Ticks should be removed with tweezers, rubber gloves or facial tissues and should be removed intact. Never apply a lighted match or cigarette to an embedded tick. Dr. Miller warns. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is curable with prompt therapy. Persons suspected of having the disease should be treated without delay. Symptoms usually appear within three to ten days. They include severe headache, fever and muscle ache. Often, though not always, a rash appears on ankles and wrists one to three days after the onset of fever. Later it may spread to other parts of the body. Do not wait for a rash to appear before seeking medical help. Controlling ticks in large areas is generally not feasible. But homeowners can reduce the tick population in their yards by cutting and burning brush and keeping grass mowed short. Chemicals such as malathion and diazinon can help kill ticks in limited areas. Not all ticks carry Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. In Virginia only two species are known to infect humans. They are the American dog tick and the Lone Star tick. Autograph At Rush River The Rush River Company will hold another author's signature event, this time featuring Senator Eugene McCarthy and his recent book, "Mr. Raccoon and His Friends." The happening will be at the Rush River Company Store (across from the Rappahannock Clinic), Gay Street, Washington, Va., on Saturday, May 6, from 2 p.m. to A p.m. To make it even more fun for the kids, puppet demonstrations are being planned in conjunction with the event. "Mr. Raccoon and His Friends” is a collection of childrens’ stories which Sen McCarthy told to his children when they were young. One chapter deals with the coming of spring, another on the effects of the change to daylight savings time. Similar subjects fill the pages. All are stories that children will enjoy hearing or reading; adults will be interested with the light satire. Sen. McCarthy has published eight books to date with two more in the works The former presidential candidate purchased properly in Sperryville last November and has since made Rappahannock County his home Look at life for the enjoyment and service of each day. + + + + By Janice Aylor and Natalie Swindler Saturday night was filled with dancing as the JuniorSenior Prom of 1978 was held. The theme was “The Way I Feel Tonight” and the band was just terrific! The Junior class did a great job with the decorations along with the refreshments that were devoured by hungry dancers. On Monday, the girls varsity track team brought back another victory, this time from Montevideo. The girls have the only team in the district that hasn’t lost a meet. Performances were pretty good for a Monday morning, highlighted by Jamelle Prudham setting a new school record in the 220 yard dash. Montevideo came over the mountain Tuesday to be defeated by our varsity baseball team. Final score was 4-3 with the guys giving a good show for the home crowd. Roger Jenkins tossed a five hitter and struck out eight batters to pick up his second win in the district. Gary Leake with a two-run single and Donnie Compton with a one-run single provided the offense. Brooke Miller scored the winning run as he stole second and the throw went to the fence in left center field. It was a fine team effort, particularly since,# Montevideo had only one loss going into the contest with the Panthers. The fifth six-weeks grading period has ended and report cards come out on Thursday. The last six-weeks of the year is beginning and for the Seniors, it will be a busy one. Many can't wait to “walk the stage” and receive their diplomas while others are contemplating failing an English course so they can return next year! (We do believe we’d think twice about that one.) The National Honor Society will be putting out the final edition of Panther Pause so everyone will be saving up their ice cream money to purchase an issue. It will be well worth it and everyone could do without those extra calories from the ice cream. That's all we’ve got for this week. Have a pleasant weekend and may the Force be with you.

By NANCY SECRIST Ext ration Agent Arc high food prices making you angry? Before blaming the farmers for the increase, look at these facts. We now pay more for labor to have our food processed and marketed than we pay the farmers for producing it. In 1973-74 the farmer received close to 40 per cent of the cost of the retail food value, but in 1977 he received only 31 per cent. A government study released this spring shows that direct labor accounts for nearly 50 per cent of the total food bill. Packaging accounts for 13 per cent, transportation 8 per cent and energy 3 per cent.

Carolyn Manwaring told about the one-week day camp near Boston in Culpeper County. Then Dawn Watson and Debbie Helmer told about their experiences at CampOn-Craig, a resident camp in Craig County. Finally, Wendy Helmer, Shannon Streagle and Susan Dennis told about the Backpacking Roundup they went on last summer.

This was sponsored by the Virginia Skyline Girl Scout Council and the Governor’s Commission on the Status of Women for Virginia. The conference was held at Lynchburg College. Forty experts were available in small workshop sessions to explain their various career fields. Girls were encouraged to plan early for the future, rather than letting careers happen by accident. Knowing yourself was listed as the first step in planning. Nontraditional roles for women and the job outlook for the future were also stressed. Another aspect of the day was the reunion with old friends and the chance to make new ones. Girl Scout cookie sales made this trip possible. Girls Win Again Tlie varsity lady Panthers track team closed out the season undefeated in regular district competition with a victory over Montevideo and Page High Schools on May 1 at Montevideo. The girls looked in good shape for the district, regional and state meets as they ran away with most of the points, more than doubling the score of their closest opponent in the threeway contest. Highlight of the Rappahannock team effort was Jamelle Prudhum's time of 26.8 seconds in the 220 yard run for a new school record. The old record was 27.6 seconds. The Panthers swept two events, placing first, second and third in the high jump and 440 yard run. Shot Klfanor Phillip*. 2nd. 30W.

Manassas, Va. 361-7248 Junior Varsity Wrap-up The Rappahannock Junior Varsity girls* track team closed their season with a victory over Central and Strasburg, at Central, on Tuesday, April 25, to emerge undefeated and the best in RCHS JV girls’ track track history. The team is composed of spirited eighth graders and experienced freshmen. They have worked hard, usually practicing with the Varisty team to the benefit of both. The first meet the JV’s had was against the Strasburg Rams on April 5. The results were worth all of the strain on everyone's nerves: Strasburg JV—31, Rappahannock JV—81. Individual performances were good and top scorers for the team were Tracy Welch with 15 points, Debbie Seal and Beth Hodson with 13, Bobette Swindler with 11, and Kathy Jenkins, Beth Fannon, Tammy Atkins and Desiree Poehler with 10 points each. All members contributed much to the team goal and in the 100 yd. dash, Rappahannock placed in all four positions. The next day, they faced Stonewall Jackson and Montevideo at SJHS and, despite having had a meet the day previous, the girls turned in fine results as they overpowered Montevideo’s 43 points and Stonewall Jackson’s 33‘/a with their 66'/i points, with five firsts, four seconds, seven thirds and six fourths. All three relay teams captured first place, with the 880 relay team coming in first on a dip.

McCarthy Mixes Poetry And Politics By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Former Senator Eugene McCarthy, the “Clean Gene” who drew thousands of young people out of political apathy to support his 1968 presidential bid, gave a poetry reading at the Rappahannock County Library last Tuesday. Billed as an evening of politics and poetry, McCarty’s presentation emphasized his poetry over his politics, much to the delight of a standing-room only audience. McCarthy set a light tone in his opening remarks. He let the audience in on a secret — the real reason why he decided to run for president. “Poets will do almost anything to get published,” he admitted. McCarthy apologized for not including any pieces on the county in the selections he’d chosen to read. “I haven’t been moved to write about Rappahannock yet,” he said. Most of the poems he presented were more humorous than serious. He tried a couple of “heavier" examples of his poetry — the first met with no noticable reaction while the second sparked a scattering of “ahs” and “uhms”. The rest of the readings, however, won acclaim in laughter. McCarthy himself appeared as tickled as his audience. Other than chuckles and applause, the only noise in the crowded library was the squeeking from chairs as the listeners tried to rearrange themselves more comfortably between selections. The question and answer period following the readings was not limited to inquiries m poetry. “1 can make rash judgements in any field,” McCarthy announced. He acknowledged that he was collaborating with Scrabble resident and national columnist Jack Kilpatrick on a book. "It's with the publishers now,” said McCarty. "I don’t know what the editors will do with it,” he added. In the book, McCarthy said he and Kilpatrick ascribe animal characteristics to overworked words used in coverage of national and international news. For example, they’ll answer the burning question on what a dilemma looks like and what habits a quandry has. McCarthy said the book will also deal with tough subjects like “Carter’s last priority” which the former Senator sees as being “teethered on the White House lawn.” “People started to use priorities carelessly and before you knew it, we were down to one,” McCarthy joked. "We had a pretty good time writing it,” he said, adding that the book was full of “the sort of thing you think about in Rappahannock County on cold winter nights.” Poetry and politics is not an odd combination, McCarthy continued. During the Irish Revolution, he recalled, "if you couldn’t write bad poetry, you couldn't be a leader.’’ President Lincoln was a poet, he noted, although Lincoln published his work anonymously. Asked about his future plans for activity in the political arena, McCarthy said he hoped to get another case before the U. S. Supreme Court challenging A Little Town Is: A little town is where you don’t have to guess who your enemies are. Your friends will tell you. A little town is where few people can get away with lying about the year they were born. Too many other people can remember. A little town is where people with various ailments can air them properly to sympathetic ears. A little town is where, when you get the wrong number, you can talk for 15 minutes anyhow.

But judging from his remarks, it appears that he’ll devote most of his attention to more creative endeavers. Once a politician fails to win re-election, he becomes a former whatever — whether it’s President, Senator, Governor or Representative. “Once you’re a poet, you’re a poet forever,” McCarthy said. “No one can ever say you’re a former poet.’’ GOVERNOR JOHN DALTON signs H.
