The group is coached by Ann Spieker. All of them except Thomas and Phillips will go to the state meet. RCHS Girls Track Team Victors In Regional Competition By LIZ FREEMAN Rappahannock County High School’s girls track team captured the regional title Saturday in competition at Fluvanna High School. Their team score was 54‘/i compared to the 46 points accrued by second place Central of Woodstock. The region encompasses Skyline and James River Districts. At approximately 8:50 Saturday morning, May 13, the RCHS Panthers track participants, who would have normally stayed in bed until noon due to a tough week, were obliged to board bus 21 for the Region B track meet at Fluvanna High School. It rained on and off all afternoon, but the Panthers came through victorious, though very soggy. The twelve girls and two boys of Varsity, coaches and managers, and a good number of faithful fans put forth enough effort to keep Rappahannock at the top, with some leftover for next week's State track meet. The Rappahannock teams had never competed with some of the schools from the James River District in regular competition this year. Schools such as Cumberland, Fluvanna, Clover Hill, Powhatan, Prince Edward County and Goochland were unfamiliar to some of the Panthers in terms of accomplishments. Rappahannock’s Jamelle Prudhum contributed a great deal as she accumulated 22‘/i points. She placed first in the 440 with 59.3 and the 220 with 26.0. She placed well in the field events, high jumping 4'8” for sixth place and long jumping 1S’3'’ for fifth, and will compete at the State meet this weekend at West Albermarle High School, Charlottesville. Events in which Jamelle will compete include the 440, 220, long jump, and she will anchor the mile relay. She was State Champion of the 440 last year. Shot • putter Eleanor Phillips threw 33M/i” to place sixth in the region with her i best throw. Discus thrower Jeanette ] Beebe will compete in the state meet after placing fifth Saturday, throwing 93’4”. Lynnell Prudhum broke ] the school record in hurdles and placed third in the region with her time of 11.6. Lynnell will travel to State, i supporting Rappahannock with points in the hurdles. 1 Dawn Keithley answered the challenge Elkton’s Jennifer Hawkins unobtrusively offered at the District meet in the 880, when she nipped Dawn at the finish. At the Regional meet, Dawn placed first over Hawkins with the time of 2:30.5, a new school record. The mile relay team pulled it off once more to win the track meet. Dawn Keithley and Janice Aylor determinedly stuck it out during their 440 legs, battling for the lead position, and making it easier on Johanna Day and Jamelle Prudhum to cross the inish number one with the ime of 4:14, a regional and ichool record set in the muring rain. Carl Jordan and Curtis Sichols were the only two joys from Rappahannock to jarticipate in the regionals. rhey both ran personal ;eason records in the 220 in 14.5 Curtis Nichols ran a 440 n his best time all season, >3.4. 3IRLS regional track MEET STANDINGS: Rappahannock CountyS4‘/i Cumberland 46 Central (Woodstock) 45 Central (Ludenberg) 45 Luray 44 Stonewall 41(6 William Monroe 37 Montevideo 37 Madison 26 Fluvanna 23 Elkton 20 Page 12 Strasburg 12 Prince Edward 10 Powhatan 6 Buckingham 3 Amelia 0 Goochland 0 Reading Program Draws Criticism High Percentage Of Students Below Grade Level By daphne McCullough Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Parents concerned about the below grade level reading performances of their children turned out in force at the May meeting of the Rappahannock School Board to request a summer school program. Superintendent William Bloomer promised that the administration would “tackle” the problem of poor reading scores and present a recommendation to the Board. But he stopped short of assurances that summer school would be held this year. » The situation was brought to head at the May 9 meeting by a request from elementary teacher Lynn Baines to use the school for a summer tutoring program. Mrs. Baines told the Board that she’d been approached by parents who wanted her to give their children extra help over the summer to bring the students up to grade level in reading. Initially, a plan worked out with elementary principal Graham Spencer called for the tutoring to be handled under the auspices of the school system. This fell through, according to Mrs. Baines. So she said she was left with no option but to ask the School Board for permission as an individual to use one classroom and instruction materials from June 19 through July 28, 8:30 to 11:30. In a preliminary survey, 94 letters were sent home from school to parents of children reading a year behind grade level. Fifty-one forms were returned: 26 parents indicated they wanted their children enrolled, 25 cited problems with the cost of the program or transportation. Administration Problem “Why wasn’t this an administration problem instead of an effort by an individual teacher?” asked Dean Irvine. Three out of the four reading classes in fourth grade are below grade level, according to parent Nancy Reeve. “Until ten minutes of twelve today, I knew nothing of this,” School Board Chairman Beverly Massie responded. “That’s an administrative problem too,” Mrs. Reeve said. “With so many students reading below grade level, why wasn’t the need for a summer school program brought to the School Board’s attention earlier?” asked Dot Irvine. Bloomer answered that he knew problems existed with reading performances but, during the budget review, had not been aware that inadequacies were so serious. Mrs. Irvine asked why the administration hadn’t supported Mrs. Baines’s request for the use of classroom space and teaching materials once the problem was evident. The budget was already approved by the School Board and forwarded to the Supervisors by that time, Bloomer reported. Boil* Down To Money “In other words, it all boils down to your saying money, stated Mrs. Irvine. "Right,” Bloomer agreed. Jack Jenkins recalled that he’d appeared before the School Board on two previous occasions. The first time, Jenkins said, he’d told the Board members that 75 per cent of Rappahannock elementary students were reading below grade level, and on his second trip to a Board meeting, had been told by elementary principal Graham Spencer that 50 per cent of the elementary students were below grade level in reading. “This is no ball game we're playing here in this school,” Jenkins said. “It’s time we got something going.” Mrs. Irvine informed the Board that her daughter, who'd received above average grades for five previous years, had been put back a year in reading this term on the basis of SRA test results. Then, Mrs. Irvine said, she'd learned at a parent-teacher conference that her daughter was in fact two years below (Continued on Page 2) Planners Recommend Rezoning Minimum RS-1 Lot Size Approved By DAPHNE McCULLOUGH Rappahannock Vw« Staff Writer Jay Dawson’s application for a large lot development on 480 acres near Huntly breezed through the first step of the subdivision approval process at the Rappahannock Planning Commission's public hearing on Wednesday. After a brief discussion, the Planners voted unanimously to recommend that the Supervisors rezone the tract from agriculture and conservation to residential subdivision. Planning Commission Chairman Herbert Barksdale asked for comment for or against the proposal but didn’t receive any response from Nels Parson or Dorothy Davis, the only spectators at the public hearing with no direct interest in Dawson’s application. ‘‘Apparently nobody cares much one way or the other about your subdivision, Jay," remarked Barksdale. At the opening of the hearing. Planner Newbill Miller reported on the site inspection conducted by the Commission. He described Dawson's tract as "Upland," primarily in pasture and woods. "It appears to be well drained,” Miller added. The property fronts on Route 522 and a gravel secondary road. Dawson proposes to build a 9,000 foot gravel roadway through the site to serve eight of the sixteen lots ranging from 25 to 50 acres that do not have existing road access. Attorney Douglas Baumgardner assured the Planners that individual lot owners in the subdivision would have to comply with the county’s erosion and sedimentation control ordinance on any construction that involved 10,000 square feet or more of land disturbing activity. He added that Dawson planned to include* a subdivision covenant stating this requirement. Baumgardner said that Dawson intended to add another covenant stipulating that lot owners may be assessed a maintenance fee not to exceed $200 per year for upkeep of the subdivision’s road. Dawson also will include a covenant to ensure that all lots will be open to fox hunting, Baumgardner noted. None of the Planners had questions for either Dawson or Baumgardner so Barksdale asked for comment from the two-person audience. "Now’s the time we want to hear it,” he stated. “This is rather a quiet public hearing,” Barksdale added, after no arguments—pro or con—were presented. Before voting on the (Continued on Page 4) Suspects Arrested Two suspects in the armed robberies and murders that occurred in Culpeper, Orange and Rappahannock on April 25 and 26 have been arrested. James Stewart Simpson was apprehended late Friday night on Route 522 west of Culpeper while traveling in a car with two other people. Charged with two counts of murder and armed robbery, Simpson is being held in Culpeper jail in lieu of SI00,OCX) bond. He appeared briefly in General District Court on Monday. Attorney Robert A. Niles of Niles and Chapman was appointed to defend Simpson and a preliminary hearing was set for June 8. David Payton Thompson, the second suspect, is in police custody in Chicago, Illinois. Culpeper Sheriff Robert Peters, Investigator Billy Wayland of Culpeper and Investigator William Faulconer of Orange traveled to Chicago on Sunday to identify Thompson and file detainers. “We’re going to get him just as soon as we can," said Sheriff Peters on Tuesday. According to Peters, Thompson is being held on federal charges at the Metropolitan Corrections Center in Chicago for kidnapping taxi driver Wendall Smith. Peters acknowledges that Thompson has signed a statement but would not elaborate further. Thompson and Simpson are charged with the capital murders here of T. E. McMullan of Mitchells and Mrs. G. E. Chambers of True Blue and three armed robberies, including a holdup at Mr. Jefferson’s Store in Sperryville. —napponanaoc* mw ritoto / Ltephnc Mri.ulkM^h IS THIS RAPPAHANNOCK’S HERITAGE?

Subsequently, she said she received the letter relating to Mrs. Baines’s proposed tutoring program that stated her daughter had to go to the summer program to reach seventh grade level in reading.

Dot Irvine continued that she’d learned that the School Board had a policy disallowing the lending of text books for outside tutoring. “If this was the system," she said, “I’m out here to find out how to go about changing the system." Dr. Bloomer answered that he’d suggested those interested in tutoring contact the text book publishers to order copies of the books used in the Rappahannock reading program. No Booki Allowed Home Jack Jenkins asked why students weren’t allowed to bring their reading text books home. He said he’d been informed that the reading books stayed at school to keep kids from reading ahead, and later to become bored in class. "They can bring all the rest of their books home.

It's a rule of the school system that students can’t thke their reading books home. Bloomer explained. This is the first year that parents have been made aware that their children were reading below grade level, said Nancy Reeve. “Then I find out it’s not only my child. It’s two-thirds of the class." “Are you placing the blame on teaching methods, books or what?” asked Board member Arthlinda Quaintance. “I don’t know where the blame belongs,” answered Mrs. Reeve. Dot Irvine reported that she'd requested retesting after her child was put back a year in reading and had been told by principal Graham Spencer that the tests were not available and the school had no money to buy additional copies. According to Mrs. Irvine, the tests were found months later in Spencer's file cabinet after a teacher remembered they’d been put there. Finally, she added, her daughter was retested months after the initial request. New Reading Books Part of the problem with the drop in reading performances can be attributed to switching to a new reading text book series, according to Lynn Baines. The new series is more difficult, she said, and unfamiliar terms used in the new books have added to transitional difficulties. Is there a possibility that many of the students now considered below grade level might be on grade level with the old reading series? asked Mrs. Quaintance. “It’s possible,” Mrs. Baines acknowledged. It’s also possible that the publishers of the new reading series “may revise their grade level determinations but we can't hold out for that," she said.

VIRGINIA making these comments,” School Board Chairman Beverly Massie remarked. She told the audience that all candidates interviewed for the Superintendent's position had been informed that the elementary reading program needed help. "It is a real concern of the School Board. We have talked and talked and talked that we feel a great deal of emphasis needs to be placed on the primary grades.” Children who can read well are happier, better prepared students as they go further along in school, she maintained. Mrs. Massie added, however, that “in all fairness' it should be noted that this was the first year grade level reading placements had been written on report cards. Mrs. Fountain, an elementary teacher, corrected Mrs. Massie’s statement. She pointed out that report cards used when Rappahannock was still part of a joint school system with Warren County had indicated whether a child was reading on or below grade level. "How long are we going to stay with this reading series?” asked Dean Irvine. Mrs. Massie noted that recommendations for text book adoptions were channeled from the teachers to the Superintendent and finally tj^ the School Board. She described adoption of text books as the most difficult jdb facing a Board member. "The School Board is not qualified to do anything but approve what the administration and teachers say ... We have to defer our judgement to the teachers and administration,” she maintained. Assistant Superintendent Ray Hogan interjected that he didn’t think the series Rappahannock currently used for reading was bad. although he acknowledged that it might be harder than series used in the past. "Again, how long are we going to stay with this series?” repeated Irvine. Adopted For Six Yean The reading texts were adopted a year ago and the adoption period runs for six years, answered Lynn Baines. “What we plan to do is an analysis of other students to see where they are" before any decision is made on the new text books, Bloomer explained. Returning to the question of a summer school program. Bloomer noted that in the past, summer school had been supported by parent funding supplemented by federal money. “Don’t you think the School Board should provide a summer program (when) the problem is with the system, not with parents or individual students?" asked Dean Irvine. “I think we need a comprehensive plan right now to correct this problem," he stated. Mrs. Massie again applauded parents for expressing their concerns. "Reading is the foundation of all learning,” she said. Henry Hudson asked if other school systems were using the reading material adopted by Rappahannock. "Are they having problems?” he inquired. “Yes to both questions,” Hogan replied. “Then Rappahannock should get in touch with some of these other systems to find out how they’re addressing their difficulties with the reading texts,” Hudson proposed. “It's not fair to blame this reading system,” interjected Aimee Massie, fourth grade teacher at the elementary school. Reading problems did not start with the new series, she noted. Some Above Grade Level Not all Rappahannock students are poor readers, according to seventh grade teacher Susan Henry and librarian Lucia Kilby. Mrs. Henry said many of the children in the literature class she shared with Mr. Fountain were reading on a high school level. She added that she asked for and received permission from the school administration for her students to take their literature books home. “My kids have been taking their books home all year. We still haven't finished the book and they’ve stayed interested.” By being allowed to take their books home, the students could come into class ready to talk about what they’d read the night before, she added. Mrs. Kilby told the Board that she had to work hard to keep enough interesting books on the library shelves to satisfy avid readers. “I have more good students reading this year than I’ve had for years in the past." Rappahannock Education Association president Dorn Bomberger suggested that the School Board request additional funds for a summer school program. He noted that the Supervisors can appropriate above what the School Board initially asked for in the school budget.

She acknowledged that improvement in reading levels was not Mrs. Baines’ responsibility. Instead, proposals should have come from the administration, she concluded. Mrs. Baines asked if she would have access to text books and equipment should she be able to find another location for her tutoring classes. “That determination would have to be made by the Superintendent,” Mrs. Massie answered. She added that the Board's policy on school buildings restricted use to organizations — not individuals. “Are you only considering Mrs. Baines’ request and not attacking the whole problem?” asked Mrs. Irvine. “We’ve not been requested by the Superintendent to approve a summer school program,” Mrs. Massie replied. “The responsibility rests at this position,” Dr. Bloomer acknowledged. "A program of action will be developed.. It can’t be done tonight. It can’t be done tomorrow.” Bloomer said he would arrive at the “best alternative available” but only after "thorough thought.” “Maybe this administration has been derelict in its duty but in the immediate future, we will tackle this problem and present a proposal to the Board,” the Superintendent continued. He added that the administration could “hit the overall problem” of below grade level reading performances but that any solution must also entail parental involvement and communication with teachers. "Will there be a summer program for our kids this summer?” asked Jack Jenkins. “1 can’t answer that,” Bloomer replied. On a motion from Alan Stokes and second from Walter Masterson, the School Board voted unanimously to table Mrs. Baines’ request to use the school for further study. (When contacted on Monday, May 15, Dr. Bloomer said he did not have figures on reading performances for all the grades at the elementary school. “I will have that information by the June meeting (of the School Board) - if not beforewhen 1 present a proposal,” the Superintendent said.)

Closed Meeting Lasts Until Midnight i ne Kappahannock School Board held a special meeting on Tuesday and spent over our hours in executive session to discuss “personnel matters.” In the first few minutes of open session, Chairman Beverly Massie noted that all persons who had requested notification of special meetings under Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act had been contacted. On this basis, Superintendent William Bloomer assured her that the special meeting was legal. Before Mrs. Massie received a motion to go into closed session, Board member Paul Nichols asked if there weren’t other matters to discuss. He specifically mentioned the possibility of h iring a “t h ird adm in istrator. ” Wrecks Reported Three single-vehicle crashes were reported on Rappahannock roads in the past week, two Friday and one on Sunday. According to Trooper R. A. Baines, King Yen Tsang of Harrisonburg overturned on Route 211 just east of Ben Venue May 12. He lost control of the 70 Volkswagen he was driving, turned over and totaled the car. He was cited for reckless driving. The same day William Daily Davis of Castleton operating a 66 Dodge pickup lost control of his truck and struck the fence on the property of Vivian Yancey on Route 640. Charges are pending, said Trooper Baines. Bobby Lee Smoot of Flint Hill was cited for reckless driving in a crash which occurred about 2:45 a.m. Sunday on Route 618. Smoot was driving a 1977 Oldsmobile which went out of control, up and down an embankment before coming to rest, according to Deputy R. D. Hawkins. The car was a total loss and Smoot was taken to Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton by Castleton Rescue Squad. In calling the special meeting, Mrs. Massie stated she had given "no indication of hiring any additional personnel." She added that the meeting had been called to “evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency” of personnel. At approximately-7:40, the School Board went into executive session. Midnight rolled around before the die hard audience was invited back into the library. At several points during the four and a half hour closed meeting, superintendent William Bloomer and assistant superintendent Ray Hogan were sent from the rodm—sometimes singly and sometimes as a pair. When the Board returned to open session, Mrs. Massie announced that no action had been taken. Topics of discussion included "personnel evaluation of the administration and Board,” according to the School Board Chairman.

Most of the investment is paid for with borrowed money. Someone else’s fixeddollar savings provides your mortgage money. Even though home prices have risen several notches each year, a mortgage loan is the only way the average consumer can borrow long-term money. This, then, is your big chance to turn inflation to your advantage. Your mortgage gives you fullprice dollars to work with today. You then pay them back with cheaper dollars you will be earning for the next 20 to 30 years. On top of that, with an average 6 per cent inflation rate, home values double every 12 years. This isn't a cynical approach. It’s realistic. In fact, it’s one of the main reasons why many wealthy individuals continue to make big real estate investments. And you can do the same with a home that you own and need anyway. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Items From Rappahannock Burglarier Recovered Articles taken from homes burglarized in ' Rappahannock County have been recovered in Spotsylvania County after a raid and search of a rural home there on May 9. The discovery culminated an intensive investigation by State ATF Agents and officers of Stafford and Spotsylvania counties. Arrested were Barry Kevin Buchannan, Kenny Lee Armstrong, Kerry Lee Morgan and William Francis Chandler, Jr. A fifth subject may also be involved. Three men have been apprehended and several charges made against them in Stafford and Spotsylvania. Charges are pending in Rappahannock, Madison and Orange for thefts or possession of stolen goods, according to Deputy R. D. Hawkins of Rappahannock. An undercover ATF agent gained the confidence of the subjects and purchased 33 rifles and shotguns from one of them. This led to adequate evidence for the issuance of a search warrant and subsequent raid, said Hawking, who has been to Spotsylvania and identified things taken from the homes of Mr. and Mrs. Farrell Nicholas at Amissville and Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Hitt near Castleton. Some of the items identified included a Bearcat scanner, rifle, several cameras and gun equipment from these homes. Senior Citizen May Event May is National Senior Citizens Month.

Social Security Helps With Travel For many people retirement is the chance to travel in a way they never could when they were tied to a job, Bruce Hundley, Social Security Branch Manager in Culpeper said. Quite suddenly, a travelogue becomes more than just words or pictures, but a potentially intriguing hunt for fun and excitement. For some, the search for “roots” may lead to faraway lands and places, as it did for the author of the currently popular book by that name. Although you don’t ordinarily think about your social security office as a travel consultant, there are some things you should know about your social security, and other things you should check with social security about. The information can save you, at the very least some time and inconvenience, and at the most, some money. You will, of course, want to make some arrangement for your social security checks, even if your trip is a short News From Around Washington Mr. and Mrs. D. K.

Vet School The House Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee last week agreed to a federal contribution of $1,250,000 toward startup costs of a veterinary school at Virginia Tech, Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson, a member of the subcommittee, announced. The subcommittee also wrote into the Agriculture Appropriation Bill a $900,000 item to begin research work at the new Appalachian Fruit Research Laboratory, Kearneysville, W. Va., Robinson said. Both prospective appropariations for the fiscal year beginning October 1 were urged in the subcommittee by the 7th District Representative, who pointed out that they would help to serve major needs of agriculture in Virginia and adjacent states. The veterinary school money is intended as a matching grant for the funds voted by the recent session of the Virginia General Assembly. Robinson emphasized that federal money would have to be used for equipment and initial staffing requirements, as the subcommittee was not inclined to provide “bricks and-mortar” funding for veterinary schools at this time. In making his bid for the funds, Robinson told the subcommittee that the new school to be established at Blacksburg, Va., was envisioned as a regional training center for veterinarians, and that negotiations were in progress with West Virginia and Maryland, neither of which has its own veterinary school, to help educate veterinarians for those states. The fruit research laboratory at Kearneysville, W. Va., is virtually completed, but funds were not in the budget, as submitted to Congress, to permit commencement of research work in the next fiscal year, hence the move to add $900,000, Robinson explained. “Location of such a facility in Appalachia has long been needed to serve the particular research requirements of the fruit industry of Virginia and other states of the region." he commented. The subcommittee action is a first step for both appropriation items, as they must clear the full House Appropriations Committee and House floor action before going to the Senate. rCLIP this COUPON & SAVE Special of the week!

THURSDAY, MAY 18,1978 Good Citizenship Begins At Home By David Hudson This essay teas the first place winner in a contest sponsored hy tmissville Human Club. There is not a true set of rules that a person can follow in order to become a good citizen. Basically citizenship is the carrying out of one’s roles as a member of a community, state, or country. This includes such areas as voting, participating in community activities, and remaining knowledgeable of public affairs. Most of a person's attitudes on these areas are developed in the home. In this paper I will examine a few of the things that a family can do to aid the development of good citizenship. The first factor is education. This does not mean that college graduates are necessarily better citizens, but it does mean that the more aware that a person is of the functions of his government, and the better understanding that he has of the needs of his society, the fewer the limitations on him. This education can come from anywhere, but it always begins in the home. Young people must be filled with the desire to learn and to use this knowledge. There is no better place for this to occur than at home. It is obvious that parents are teachers, but the best method for this teaching is not always used. The best way to put across the message, so that it will have lasting impact is through example. Children tend to copy what they see, no matter what they are told. This goes back to the old adage of "don’t do what 1 do, but do what I say do.” If there is no discrepency between what is said and what is done the point is certain to get across. A good family should teach discipline and moral values. Good citizenship requires discipline. Young people need a solid background in these areas to form good character. Discipline and morals are integral parts of citizenship. Good citizens must not be afraid to get involved. Fear of involvement is too common. The best way to lose this fear is through constant practice in participation. Each person must be capable of expressing his own opinions What Stimulates Good Citizenship? What Kind of Home Stimulates Good Citizenship? This was the question recently posted on the bulletin boards of the Rappahannock High School to encourage the selfexpression of the students. As an incentive to outline their thoughts in articles of 500600 words, awards of $25 for afirst prize and $15 for second place were offered. Good citizenship is a very important asset in a school. It is a significant factor in classroom discipline. And good discipline, in turn, creates an atmosphere that is more conducive to education. An orderly classroom lessens tension and aggravation for both pupil and instructor. But it is the POOR discipline and the growing disorder in public schools that is the nagging problem causing so much concern and so many conferences. The faculty of Rappahannock High School is not entirely free from this problem. High school teachers have a privileged and powerful role in molding young minds and here was a subject, "Citizenship,” which could have been honored to the mutual benefit of teacher and student Thus, personal letters were sent to each faculty member uging their cooperation in the promotion of "What Kind of Home Stimulates Good Citizenship.” The writing would be extra-curricular work, not a classroom assignment. An award, in turn, would be presented to the teacher whose class submitted the greatest number of entries. The closing date was April 20th. On that day one (1) teacher from a staff of 21 turned in student essays. These two (2) essays were the entire showing from a student body of 432. The question quite naturally follows — Why did practically the entire staff of Rappahannock teachers fail to arouse any response in this worthy subject? Assuming that character is more important than cash, why were both subjects ignored by almost the entire student body? In a society where work and reward are coexistent, is $25 out of line for an hour or so of work on character? The American home is the voice of democracy and the vitality of the nation. If we expect to raise giant oaks from little acorns, then the little acorns should not be allowed to roll around on rocky soil, but they must be carefully developed by the home, the schools, the church and in society. H. R. Terhune without undue stress, tree ;xchange of ideas is necessary for a free society. The family can provide a key part of a young person’s character that will lead to good citizenship. For someone to get the most out of his ability, he must have confidence in himself. This faith in oneself is acquired through achievement. Family members should be allowed to advance at their own speed and encouraged to better themselves. Self-confidence will follow. A deeper type of faith can come to a young citizen through the realization of God. The spirit of Christ in one’s daily life can make things go much easier. By putting all of this together we can say that a stimulating family should encourage education and community activity, teach discipline and set good examples. It should also aid the development of self confidence and provide a solid religious background.”1 These actions will instill a sense of pride in young Americans, and pride is what citizenship is all about.

Apparently. Rappahannock School Board members agree with this philosophy. Board members voted at the May meeting to request approval for budget transfers from the Supervisors despite assurances from their Superintendent that such approval was not required. Superintendent William Bloomer reported that roof repairs at the elementary school would cost approximately $11.000—$8,000 over the amount budgeted for that category. He suggested that $8,000 included in capital outlay for installation of underground tanks at the school garage be transferred to maintenance of school plants to cover the costs of roof repairs. Bloomer proposed that additional transfers be made from unexpended salaries to instructional materials and from bus driver salaries to bus replacement. He explained that most of the $14,000 in unexpended instructional salaries resulted from not having an assistant principal at the elementary school for most of the year. Running a full-day kindergarten instead of two halfday sessions left money in the category of bus driver salaries that could be used to cover unexpected cost increases in scheduled bus replacements, according to Bloomer. Walter Masters on suggested that the $14,000 transfer from instructional salary be tabled until a decision is reached on whether the school system will offer a summer program this year. His proposal won unanimous approval. "1 suggest we ask the Supervisors for permission to make the other categorical changes." Masterson continued. Bloomer reported that he'd checked with Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke and had been told that the School Board has control over the allocation of the lump sum appropriated in the school budget by the Board of Supervisors. Board Aware? Chairman Beverly Massie i asked if the entire Board of ■ Supervisors was aware of this. —Rappahannock Nawa Photo/Daphne McCullough NEW 4-H LEADERS MET last Wednesday at the county Extension office. Billie Payne, Mauri Payne, Jeremy Freeman, Jane Narramore, Henry Hudson and Nina Metzinger worked on plans for upcoming 4-H club activities. Leaders are still needed for home economics and forestry clubs. Anyone interested in helping .with the county’s revitalized 4-H program is asked to contact the Extension office or attend the organizational meeting, June 2 at the Recreation Center at 7 p.m. “That's the point,” Masterson responded. “Then, to be safe, I suggest that the School Board formally ask the Supervisors for permission (to make the budget transfers) as a matter of record," Mrs. Massie continued. Her proposal was approved unanimously. After a long executive meeting to discuss “personnel matters,” the School Board came back into open session after midnight. (About halfway through the almost two hour closed meeting, Bloomer and assistant superintendent Ray Hogan were sent from the room). In the open meeting, Bloomer announced that guidelines had been established for retention and promotion at the elementary level. "We're moving in the direction of reducing social promotion,” he said. Bloomer explained that promotions would be based entirely on achievement. Children who can’t achieve, he added, would be put into special classes. Earlier in the meeting, the Board approved the first section of the policy handbook revisions. During a discussion on responsibilities of school administrators. Jack Jenkins asked if it was the duty of the elementary principal to visit the classrooms and “check on what was going on.” Jenkins said he thought this should be done at least once a month with the principal spending a half hour per classroom in observation time. Mrs. Massie acknowledged it was the duty of a principal, as stated in the policy manual, to check on the clasrooms. “From my understanding, it’s not being done regularly,” Jenkins countered. “This has come to the Board’s attention,” Mrs. Massie answered. “The School Board has tried to deal with the administration to correct some of these matters.” In other action, the Board gave unanimous approval to: —A contract with Paramount of Fredericksburg for termite control at the two schools: —Readiness testing for kindergartners and incoming first graders; —Testing schedule for 1978-79 that includes basic skill examinations in the primary grades, SRA tests at the elementary and high school level, graduation screening and differential aptitude testing. Planners OK Subdivision (Continued from Page 1) Dawson application, the . Planners considered the proposed subdivision ordinance amendment setting the minimum lot size in a RS-I district at 5 acres. Miller explained that the planners had discovered there was no minimum lot size set for RS-I during hearings on Charles Goode's proposed Flint Hill subdivision. According to Miller, they’d found that Goode could have divided his property into one acre lots if the tract had been rezoned provided he put in public water and sewer. Mrs. Davis asked if slope entered into consideration on lot size in RS-I. “Any property I’d want to subdivide would have a steep slope,” she stated, adding that all the potential subdivision land that she could see from her house was also steeply sloped. Miller responded that slope Was' a determining factor in lot size in both agriculture and conservation districts. However, he said, once property is rezoned out of either of those districts to RS-1, slope doesn’t apply. "Can anyone who buys one of Mr. Dawson’s 25 acre lots resubdivide?” Mrs. Davis asked. “Subdivided land can’t be resubdivided,” answered Planner Dave Fannon. Once a subdivision lot of any size is recorded, it can’t be divided further under the county’s current ordinances, Miller explained. The problem with no minimum lot size in RS-1 arises in the interval between rezoning and the actual recording of subdivision lots, he continued. A developer may plan on five-acre lots but once the property is rezoned to RS-I, any size lot can be recorded as long as it qualifies under the ordinance. Rezoning and subdivision plat approval used to be accomplished simultaneously. Miller noted. However, the procedure was changed to avoid having a developer spend money on site plans only to have the necessary rezoning denied. A flow chart prepared by County Engineer Fanning Baumgardner under the Planning Commission’s direction calls for rezoning first and separate from subdivision plat approval. This procedural change requires the addition of a minimum RS-I lot size for the county’s protection. In two separate actions, the Planners voted unanimously to recommend the ordinance revision and Dawson’s rezoning to the Supervisors for approval. Paying Lip Service ‘What Fool Invented Kissing?’ By ROBERT C. RADCLIFFE National Orographic New* Service The custom has its own holiday, Valentine’s Day, but its fans celebrate all year long. It’s called kissing. It has been widely popular for a very long time, it shows no sign of dying out, and any number of famous people have things to say about it. Several hundred years ago Jonathan Swift posed a basic question: "Lord!” he wrote, "I wonder what fool it was that first invented kissing.” History has lost the answer, but kissing was practiced in biblical times, as the Old Testament records in the Song of Solomon 1:2: “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.” Biting Game Students of the origins of kissing find the beginnings of it all in the billing and cooing of birds and the biting games of dogs, the National Geographic Society says. Charles Darwin speculated that kissing once had to do with the way wild animals seize their prey with their teeth. Some opinions vary on whether nose-rubbing is a good idea gone wrong, an intermediate step, or an improvement on Western kissing. Even today ir. the Far East, tradition-minded Japanese and Chinese may be either deeply shocked or hilariously amused when they see a Western husband and wife kiss in public. About a hundred years ago, when Chinese first began translating Western novels into their own language, they had to invent a special character to describe kissing. Experts in culture traits say kissing was thought up in Europe, and that it is civilized since semi-civilized people don’t. Kissing and whatever has gone with it has indelibly marked history. Antony and Cleopatra, by way of William Shakespeare, viewed the decline of Egypt and Rome admitting: “We have kiss’d away Kingdoms and provinces.’’ And to ever-alert Oliver Wendell Holmes: “The sound of a kiss is not so loud as that of a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer.” Lipstick Invented In olden days, social kissing was so big practitioners took to perfuming their lips, thus starting the cosmetic industry. The invention of lipstick helped bring on the untraceable cheek-to-cheek encounter. Excessive kissing has been blamed for forgetfulness, among other things. A busy ambassador, trying to combine a diplomatic buss with a bow from the waist, supposedly came up with hand kissing. Energetic Bob Hope has reasoned that ‘‘People who throw kisses are mighty hopelessly lazy.” Not all kisses may be affectionate. In the eyes of H. L. Menchen: “When women kiss it always reminds one of prize-fighters shaking hands.” hor those trying to live on love, advice-to-the-lovelom columnist Dorothy Dix once warned: “Nobody wants to kiss when hungry.” “A kiss without a mustache is like an egg without salt,” according to the Spanish, and “like a day without wine” to the French. Kissing also may produce an immunity to vice. Arturo Toscanini once revealed: "I kissed my first woman and smoked my first cigarette on the same day. I have never had time for tobacco since.” But for whatever reason people pucker up, there is still Dr- Henry Gibbons’ 150year-old definition of a kiss as: “The anatomical jux taposition of two orbiculari: oris muscles in a state o contraction." Letters ..... To The Editor Why Against? To the editor: If the Flint Hill gun group can load their guns in 3 seconds, as Mr. Welch stated at the hearing, why are they against the gun ordinance? J. ATKINS Motives Questioned To the editor: It seems that the Flint Hill Hunting Gub “protesteth too much”...it’s logical that the loaded gun ordinance will help both the Rappahannock hunter and landowner. Why is the club opposing this ordinance? Could they be some of the ones dr! j down the road at 5 mpk. MRS. W. JOHNSON Woodville Events Lauded To the editor: In the past several days I have had the opportunity to see two excellent presentations in our community. Saturday evening the Choral Group gave an outstanding performance at the old Washington School, and Tuesday evening at the library, Byron Schumaker conducted a multi-projector slide show. Both productions were exceptional. There is a wealth of talent in Rappahannock County and thanks to people like Mr. Schumaker, Gloria Harris and all those who participated, we now have an opportunity to enjoy events of this nature here at home. Speaking for myself and numerous others, I am certain, countless thanks to all of you for your pleasant contributions to our county. Your talents are an appreciated gift. DIANE BRUCE Public Input To the editor: It has been reported in the Rappahannock News that the Supervisors do not plan to hold a special public meeting on the school budget. Although a special meeting on the school budget is not a requirement, state law does require a public hearing be held on the county budget. The school budget, being a part of the county budget, should be discussed at that time. Even if it were not public law, it would seem reasonable that the supervisors would want to know what the public feeling is on any budget. A natural procedure to look for this public input is made possible through a public hearing. It would also seem reasonable that this public hearing be held at a time when most members of the community would be able to attend. In light of the present controversy, I will look for a scheduled evening meeting for public input into the county budget. DON BOMBERGER Sperryvillc On Warts To the editor: In response to your article about warts, I can’t resist passing on a remedy for plantar warts without the use of radiation, electrosurgery or freezing. The easy and safe treatment involves the use of external vitamin C, applied daily on the warts for 10-14 days. Improvement can be seen within just one week. By adding a few drops of water to several crushed 500 mg vitamin C tablets, a paste is made (fresh for each application) which is spread on the affected area. It’s worth a try before considering more drastic and possibly hazardous treatments. I hope you’ll pass on this remedy to those in need.

The Inn Scores More Stars The Inn at Little Washington received a hefty serving of praise in the Washington Star’s Spring Dining Guide, a special section in the May 7 edition devoted to restaurants in the metropolitan area. In the supplement’s front page story on new restaurant trends, The Inn rated mention before any of the other 22 dining establishments cited in the article. John Rosson described it as “the best thing to happen in the dining-out field here in a long time.” Although The Inn only opened for business on February 1, Rosson noted that it was already impossible to get in without a reservation. Thanks to chef Patrick O'Connel, The Inn “is a house of haute cuisine” with dishes that “invariably add up to exquisite fare,” the reviewer wrote. Equally important, according to Rosson, host Reinhart Lynch “sees to proper service—and always with a touch of panache.” In another article, “Country Fare...In Virginia and Maryland,’’ the Star eALERS WA/^r W Antique Show & Sale **4/ Every Sat. & Sun.

It’s a three course menu. Don’t miss any of them,” the article advised. In a listing of “Some of the Best,” The Inn at Little Washington is singled out along with 26 other restaurants as providing fare that rivals the best of such gourmet-conscious cities as New York, New Orleans and San Francisco. The Star noted that its determination of the area’s finest restaurants was based on food, service, setting and overall consistency. The Inn at Little Washington stands out on the Star’s list of “Some of the Best” as practically the only restaurant with an English name. The rest require an education in foreign languages to decipher ranging from Chinese (Hu Yuan) to French (Charcuterie Normande) to Italian (Lido De Venezia). If this recognition in the big city daily papers continues, summer will see hordes of hungry people milling around Washington, waiting for seats at The Inn. It looks like O’Connell and Lynch have certainly put Rappahannock County on the culinary map.

BZA Grants Permits In a meeting on Thursday, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals issued two special use permits and adjourned within 20 minutes. Erma Lohman’s application for a permit to use an existing house on Route 522 south of Woodville for an antique shop was approved unanimously. Mrs. Lohman assured the Board that she had adequate space for parking if it were needed and acknowledged that she would have to meet county regulations on outdoor advertising before she erected any signs. “When I put a sign up." Mrs. Lohman began. “You'll have to speak with us," finished Zoning Administrator Evan McNear. "It’s a separate issue," he added. BZA member George Muth noted that she would have to meet state regulations as well as the requirements of the county zoning ordinance. The Board also unanimously approved a request from Steve Hostetter to occupy a 20-foot selfcontained travel trailer on Route 616 in Castleton. Hostetter was issued a trailer permit for six months. “Where are you going to park it after your permit expires?" asked BZA Chairman Josef Gardiner. Hostetter answered that he planned to put the trailer in a wooded parking area on the property. “What’s the legality on that?" Gardiner asked McNear. “If he doesn't use it for storage space, office space or living, it's legal," the Zoning Administrator responded.

Six of Luray’s runs occurred during the second inning, through Rappahannock’s numerous errors. The first Panther run was made when designated hitter Roger Jenkins drove the ball into right field for a double in the second. Third baseman Gary Settle singled to left field batting Jenkins in. The final Rappahannock runs followed in the third frame when right fielder Nils Aylor singled and stole second. Shortstop Rick Johnson continued the rally with a single that Aylor went home on, and took second on a passed ball.

Use Corn Oil For Horses Adding corn oil may be a good way to get more energy into horses without the bulk of grain and hay, said Arden N. Huff, Extension animal scientist. Horses will consume and can utilize corn oil. This was shown in a research project at Virginia Tech. Fate and oils supply 2.25 times the energy of carbohydrates conventionally found in grain rations on a pound-for-pound basis. The research project was done by Virginia Bowman, Mt. Jackson, a graduate student in the University’s department of animal science. Rations containing up to 20 per cent corn oil were readily consumed by ponies during a palatability trial. The digestibility of the com oil was measured in three digestion trials using eight gelding ponies weighing approximately 500 pounds. Corn oil was substituted into the rations at levels of 0, 5, 10 and 20 per cent by weight. Experimental rations contained 55 per cent alfalfa hay, 25 per cent com and 20 per cent oats. Results from the digestion trials indicated the energy in corn oil was approximately 90 per cent digested. The digestibility of the fatty acids in the com oil was constant over all levels of oil fed. The high levels of com oil had no detrimental effect on the digestibility of other ration components such as protein and minerals. No digestive disturbances were observed on any level of com oil. Hair coats of all animals improved in appearance and all ponies maintained their body weights, he said. While additional research is necessary before specific recommendations can be made, the use of fats and-or oils in horse rations looks promising. Huff said.

Many Miss Out On SSI Benefits There could be many people in the Rappahannock area who are missing out on much needed cash income because they don’t know about the supplemental security income (SSI) program, Bruce Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said today. SSI, administered by social security, makes monthly cash payments to people in financial need who are 65 or over, or blind, or disabled. It makes no difference how old or young a person is to receive SSI payments because of blindness or disability, Hundley continued. A person does not have to be destitute to receive SSI. An otherwise eligible person can own some property and have some other income and still receive SSI payments. §ut, there are limits to the emphasized. A person can have assets, what he or she owns, that count worth up to 51,500 (or $2,250 for a couple) and still be eligible for SSI. Not everything counts. A house the person lives in does not count as an asset, nor does an older car. Personal effects do not count. What does count are items of value—bank or savings accounts, cash, jewelry, other real estate, antiques, large insurance policies (over $1,500), and similar items. Not all income counts. Generally, the first $20 of unearned income in a month does not count. Above that, though, the SSI payment is reduced dollar for dollar. The first $65 a month of earned income does not count. Above that, the SSI payment is reduced $1 for every $2 in earnings. Living arrangements can affect the amount of payment. A person living in someone else’s household generally receives a reduced payment. The maximum Federal SSI payment is $177.80 a month for an individual and $266.70 a month for a couple. A parent’s income and assets count in deciding if a child under 18, 21 if a student, is eligible for SSI. Anyone who knows of someone who might be eligible for SSI can help by suggesting that he or she check with the Culpeper social security office. The people there will be glad to provide more detailed information about SSI and to answer questions. The Culpeper social security office is located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center.

Wrong Way Driving Reduced Wrong-way driving on Virginia’s interstate and four-lane divided primary highways has been reduced sharply, but still represents a major and sometimes fatal hazard, a new study by the State Department of Highways and Transportation showed today. J. P. Mills, Jr., the department’s traffic and safety engineer, said the/ number of such reported incidents declined from 135 in the six months between June 1 and November 30, 1971, soon after the problem became evident, to 58 in the same period of 1977. The number of accidents resulting from wrong-way driving decreased from 35 to 21, while injuria stemming from the acciaents were reduced by more than half, from 37 to 14. The number of traffic deaths rose from four in the 1971 period to five during the six months in 1977, however. “It is readily apparent that real danger continues to exist because of the wrong-way driver,” Mills said. He attributed the reduction in the number of such incidents to several factors, including new traffic engineering procedures, police enforcement, and educational efforts which hare helped to make motorists aware of the danger. Soon after the problem was recognized in the early 1970s, highway engineers and state police began joint studies to seek corrective measures. Among new traffic engineering techniques adopted were large red “wrong way” signs, blackand-white signs with arrows pointing in the proper direction of travel, and additional painted pavement markings. Mills said that state troopers now have questionnaires which they complete when they observe a wrong-way driving incident or investigate a traffic accident resulting from stack an incident. But he said information gathered thus far indicates that it will be a difficult problem to solve completely. Of the 58 motorists involved in the wrong-way incidents in the June through November period last year. 27—or 47 per cent— were drunk or had been drinking. At least two others had made U-turns in order to travel in the wrong direction, and 27 had entered the wrong traffic lanes at interchanges or intersections. Mills said that in some cases it was impossible to determine the origin of the incidents. Of the total accidents in the 1977 period, seven occurred on interstate highways, resulting in four injuries and three fatalities. The'other 14 occurred on the divided primary routes, and caused 10 injuries and two deaths. Mills said. A nationwide survey to identify 1978 crop acreages and livestock numbers will include contacts with Rappahannock county fanners, the Virginia Crop and Livestock Reporting Service announced today. Mrs. Janice K. Foltz, representing the Service, said that she will be contacting local producers in late May or early June for information about acreages actually planted or planned for 1978 and the number of livestock and poultry on hand. All the information will be kept confidential and used only in developing official State and national estimates. Mrs. Foltz said that Ifoppaliamtuck ^Si’un?
