KINES Rappahannock Finn SprcUl Writer Rappahannock’s three Republican delegates stood by their “favorite son” through six, tense ballots before John Warner stepped out of the spotlight he had promised to share with his 7th District supporters at the state convention in Richmond. “I never thought I'd see all these Republicans gathered together,” said Mrs. Frances Carney, chairman of Rappahannock's delegation, before approximately 10*/i hours of voting at the Richmond Coliseum last Saturday. With an estimated 10,000 delegates, alternates, party officials, guests and candidates' floor personnel, the GOP state convention is said to be the largest political convention in U. S. history. "I wrote everyone who elected us at the mass meeting to ask them to let us know how to go,” said Mrs. Carney. “A couple more people were for Warner than Obenshain, but nobody was very definite so we all came uncommitted." An aide of Warner’s read portions of a letter from conset"vattve cohimntst lames J. Kilpatrick, who lives in Rappahannock, at a 7th District caucus late last Friday night. After praise for his experience as a former U. S. Secretary of the Navy, Kilpatrick added that Warner "damn it all” has the "dignity and presence” to be a U. S. Senator. “I wish I were in a position to champion your cause,” read the campaign aide from Kilpatrick's letter, “but I’m not." Mrs. Carney was proud that Washington, D. C., newspaper stories about a rebirth of the Republican party in Virginia had cited Republican strength in Rappahannock growing from seven persons at a mass meeting two years ago to 53 this spring. Those participants elected Mrs. Carney, who is county party co-chairman, Christopher Parrish, and Captain George H. Sharpe as delegates to the state convention. The three alternates were Admiral John Marocchi, Lt. Col. John G. Carney, and David Konick. Despite media coverage concentrating on Warner and his wife, actress Elizabeth Taylor, the nominee of Virginia’s Republicans after a showdown on the sixth ballot is Richard D. Obenshain of Richmond. The former GOP national chairman and a Democrat, who will be chosen from eight candidates at the Democratic State Convention in Williamsburg this Saturday, will race for the seat of retiring U.S. Senator William L. Scott, a Republican. Bowing out after Obenshain unofficially reached 28 votes more than the magic number of 1,540.5 needed for the nomination, Warner pledged his support and predicted Obenshain will be the next U. S. Senator. Rappahannock Republicans will follow Warner’s lead. Having the lawyer-farmer from Middleburg close enough to help beiid up Rappahannock’s Republicans would have been convenient, indicated Mrs. Carney, but they will smoothly transfer support to the lawyer from Richmond. Under the GOP convention rules, votes may be fractionalized with each vote represented by as many as five delegates. Therefore, Rappahannock Republicans could elect up to 15 delegates to each cast one-fifth of the county’s three convention votes. "Next time, maybe we’ll split to six delegates instead of three delegates,” predicted Mrs. Carney, "but I think 15 delegates is too much.” ‘‘We are building the Republican base here slowly,” she added.

Gun Laws Shot Down By DAPHNE McCULLOLGH Rappahannock News Staff Writer "Sorry, Mr. Bankston.” That was Supervisor Chairman E. P. Luke's response to game warden Jim Bankston after the Rappahannock Supervisors turned down two proposed hunter control ordinances at last Thursday’s Board meeting. Luke joined Supervisors Clarence Baldwin and Butch Eastham in voting down ordinances that would have made it illegal to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in a vehicle or on a public rightof-way without permission to Good Shepherd Award Given Titchenell A "Good Shepherd” medal and certificate was presented B. Gale Titchenell recently for his many years of distinguished service to the Baptist Church and its Howard Holschuh and the Rev. B. Gale ThcheneU at- ' tended the Shenandoah Area Council of Boy Scouts meeting recently when Mr. Titchenell waa recognised for forty yean of community service. Scouting Program. Mr. Titchenell is pastor of the Woodville Baptist Church and a member of the faculty of the local high school. He has been active in scouting for more than forty years. Mr. Titchenell has received all of the Scout Training awards, and is a holder of the Stiver Beaver and District Award of Merit. The honors were initially presented him by the Rev. David Wood and Howard Holschuh at the May meeting of the Shenandoah Area Council. Mr. Titchenell was also recognized at the Baccalureate service Sunday evening at Rappahannock Cbunty High School. This award was originated by the Association of Baptists for Scouting in cooperation with local councils of the Boy Scouts of America, and parallels similar recognitions by other , religions denominations. It is believed that the award to Mr. Titchenell is the first made to a Scouter in Virginia. hunt from landowners on both sides of the road. In opening discussion on the ordinances, Luke noted that he’d received only three letters in support of passage since the May 4 public hearing on the proposals. (At the public hearing, four citizens spoke for adoption of the hunter control ordinances while the entire membership of the Flint Hill hunting and fishing clubs—approximately 100 people—went on record as opposed.) Supervisor Dick Latham said he’d heard arguments that the ordinances were unenforcable but added that a neighboring county had 29 convictions out of 31 citations written under a similar law. ‘‘They can be enforced if anyone takes the time to do it,” he maintained. Baldwin announced that he was prepared to vote against adoption since large landowners near Flint Hill—the area of the county with the biggest problem with illegal roadside hunting—were satisfied with current laws and opposed to the new ordinances. Eastham acknowledged that hunters created problems for him and for other farmers by parking in roads and blocking farm access. ”1 don’t believe in hunting from the road, period,” he said. However, Eastham maintained that adoption of the proposed ordinances would do little to assist the game warden in controlling illegal hunting. ‘‘These are crafty people you're dealing with. They can unload a gun while they're pulling over for the game warden,” he said. ‘‘The solution to the problem lies in getting Mr. Bankston some help,” Eastham stated. If Rappahannock’s game warden had the same enforcement powers as Park Rangers who have authority to confiscate weapons and cars of illegal hunters, then the county wouldn’t have a problem with roadside hunters, according to Eastham. Adoption of the proposed ordinances would be "making a law just for the sake of making a law," he concluded. Equalize Seasons Part of the solution, interjected Luke, lies in equalization of hunting seasons east and west of the mountains. (Rappahannock’s (Continued on Page S) Half Of Elementary Students Perform Below Grade Level By daphne McCullough Rappahannock Ncwa Staff Writer Almost half of the students at Rappahannock’s elementary school are reading a year or more behind grade level, according to a recent survey taken by the administration. As a first step toward attacking the reading deficiency that has alarmed parents and teachers alike, county School Board members voted unanimously at a special meeting held last Wednesday to offer summer school this year. The summer school program will focus on reading and language skills only. Classes, beginning June 19, will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.. According to current plans, enrollment will be open to children in grades one through seven. However, participation may have to be limited to specific grades, should more than a third of the students eligible for the program indicate an interest in attending summer school. Assistant superintendent Ray Hogan announced that eight teachers were “definitely interested” in teaching with three more possibly willing to work in the summer reading program. He noted that the program’s success was dependent in a large part on keeping a low pupil-teacher ratio, approximately 10 to 12 students per teacher. Parents would be asked to put up $50 in “good faith money,” Hogan continued. This would be refunded to those students with perfect attendance for the six-weeks program. Students with less than perfect attendance would be docked $5 per day for each absence. According to Hogan, the program's goal would be for each child to achieve sixweeks or more progress in reading. “In most cases, I think a student should achieve more than six-weeks progress," he added. Enough Progress “You say these children are only going to improve six weeks and they’re already a year behind?" asked Board member Arthlinda Quaintance. “Then what good is it going to do?" Hogan replied that sixweeks progress was the minimum goal. “That's pretty minimum. 1 think," Mis. Quaintance responded. Superintendent William Bloomer explained that the administration had worked with a special reading consultant in formulating the proposed summer program. The consultant. Bloomer said, had warned against anticipating more than three month’s progress — "the realistic maximum expectation" — for six-weeks of summer school. Then children, even after completing summer school, "will still be below grade level?" Mrs. Quaintance asked. "Yes ma’am. It’s a start. We can't expect to bring them all up (to grade level) in one six-weeks summer (Continued on Page 3) Few Complaints On Secondary Roads - -tm« .-JUrppaAanaoeJt Supervisors’ annual secondary road hearing held at last Thursday’s Board meeting was short and quiet. Resident Highway Engineer Don Askew heard few complaints and only one specific request for improvement. Carson Johnson, former chairman of the county Highway Safety Committee, asked that something be done to correct the hazardous conditions on Route 600 in Old Hollow. The road presents a danger to the loaded school bus that must travel it twice daily, according to Johnson. Clatterbuck also presented a petition for improvements on the same stretch of road. Askew responded that the Highway Department had a $37,500 project set up for work on Route 600 that was scheduled to begin in the 1978-79 budget year. Earlier, Askew reported that Rappahannock had been allocated $283,000 for the coming year to cover secondary roads. The appropriation was cut from the $330,000 originally expected due to higher revenues needed to repair the statewide winter damage, according to Askew. Thr hfynt ib|to project planned for the coming year is improvement to the Chester Gap road, with an expenditure of $125,000. In addition, $60,000 has been alloted for grading, drainage and stabilization on Route 615; S25,000 for drainage and improvements on Route 622 east of Route 626; $43,000 for traffic service and preliminary engineering; $16,500 for new plant mix and $25,000 for im(Continued on Page 5) RCHS Commencement Friday Evening Commencement for the sixty-two graduates of Rappahannock County High School is scheduled for Friday, June 9 at 8 p.m. in the school auditorium.

Aimed At Academic Improvement Statewide Testing Program Set Beginning next fall students in the first, second, and third grades will be laying the foundation for a long-range program to improve the academic achievement of students in Virginia’s public schools. During the 1978-79 school year these students will be tested to determine how well they know the basic skills of reading and mathematics. Records will be kept of each child's success or failures. These records will follow the child as long as he or she remains in the public school system. At the other end of the grade-level spectrum, ninth and tenth graders also will be given reading and mathematics tests. The tenth graders have already been put on notice by the Board of Education that they will be required to pass the competency tests before being eligible to receive high school diplomas in 1981. These two different, but interrelated, programs are BULLOCK’S QeaUtf Chanen Complete Dry Cleaning end Laundry Service Rugs & Drapes 19 E. Jackson Front Royal, Va. 635-3056 segments of a closely coordinated plan to bolster the academic skills of public school students. Department of Education officials estimate that approximately 300,000 students in the five grades will be given the tests during 1978-79. Basic skills tests in reading and mathematics will be given in grades 1 through 3 next fall. Children in grade 4 will be included- in the primary testing program in 1979 and those in grades 5 and 6 will be tested in 1980. The tests, which will be given annually, will measure progress the students have made toward meeting basic learning skills objectives set by the Board of Education. Objectives range from accurate and concise oral expression, beginning in the kindergarten, to understanding and interpreting line graphs, tables, and charts in the fifth grade. Other objectives include effective speech; correct, legible writing; and the ability to distinguish between fact, fiction, and opinion in reading selections. The test results will become part of the students’ records. As they progress through school, teachers will review their records to determine strengths and weaknesses. If, for example, a teacher finds that a student is weak in mathematics, individual instruction can be provided.

It is hoped, department officials said, that students with substandard skills will be identified as early as possible before they become high school seniors. As the department conceives it, the test results would be a warning not only to the student but to the school and will give both an opportunity to take early corrective action. Currently, a statewide committee is reviewing a number of commercially produced reading and mathematics tests to be used in the high school grades. A decision on a minimum level of mastery of reading and mathematics' must await the selection of the tests, a department official said. Two kinds of tests will be used—criterion -referenced and norm - referenced. Criterion-referenced tests, a new feature of the state program, measure a student’s mastery of the objectives of an educational program. This kind of test aids in tailoring each student’s learning program to his or her needs and talents. The purpose of criterion-referenced testing is to determine which skills have been mastered and which have not. For example, on a criterion-referenced mathematics test, results might show that a student does not know how to multiply fractions. With this information, the teacher can concentrate on helping the student overcome the problem. In a norm-referenced test. the score of each student car be compared with scores ol other students who have taken the same test undei standardized conditions. Thus, it is possible to tell where a student stands ir relation to other students ir the same grade or group. The high school graduation competenc) program began in 1976 when secondary school accreditation standards were revised by the Board ol Education. Included in the standards were requirements that each high school student, to graduate, must have the required number ol units and also must demonstrate competence ir communicative skills— reading, writing, and speaking—and computational skills; have a basic knowledge of the history and cultures of the United States and its economic system, and have the ability to pursue high education, or to find employment. Since that decision, there have been changes in the minimum competency program. Last March, the Board of Education decided that high school students will be required to pass stateprescribed reading and mathematics tests before receiving diplomas. Assessment of competencies in other areas was left to the school divisions. The board’s decision to provide uniform testing in mathematics and reading stemmed from revisions of the Standards of Quality for public schools which were approved . by the 1978 General Assembly for the two years beginning July 1, 1978.

- Reading Program Set For Summer— (Continued from Page 1) program,” Hogan maintained. Bloomer announced that the reading consultant had also stressed that parents read at least a half hour per day to their child and have the child read to them for the same amount of time. “This will help to emphasize and reinforce (the lessons learned in summer school),” he said. “What the child reads is not important as the time they spend,” Bloomer added. Teachers need to encourage the children themselves to read at home, maintained School Board chairman Beverly Massie. "There might be children in the program whose parents aren’t able to give them this support...They (the parents) might not be able to read” she noted. In summer school class, current plans are to give students two hours of intensive reading instruction separated by an hour of something "not as strongly academic,” according to Hogan. This could be an extension of the reading instruction, such as language arts, or a block in humanities, with art and music. In addition, Hogan noted, students would also take a 15-minute break between the two hours of intensive reading lessons. “I'd personally like to see some efforts made in phonics or spelling, commented Board member Alan Stokes. “Or even conversation,” Mrs. Massie added, suggesting that the students communicate ideas on what they’ve read. Hogan said he would like to incorporate “some sort of written exercise for every student, every day.” “How about assigning homework?” asked Stokes. Hogan responded that the requirement for an hour of reading outside class would be considered homework. ‘‘Three hundred and fifty children are an awful lot,” said Walter Masterson, in reference to the number of students found by the school to be reading a year or more below grade level and therefore, eligible for the summer program. ‘‘How are we going to eliminate this situation?” he asked. “The summer reading program is the first step towards that,” Hogan answered. “Beyond that, he continued, the administration and teachers will have to determine if children have been assigned to the correct reading level and then steps need to be taken to begin remedial help. 350 An Epidemic “I consider 350 an epidemic (that) takes drastic measures,” Masterson said. “Perventive maintenance is something very essential,” he maintained. . In answer to a question from Alan Stokes, Hogan said most of the basic materials needed for the summer program were already in the school. The only problem might lie with workbooks that parents will have to purchase, he added. Bloomer interjected that the consultant had suggested summary booklets be used for children to take home after each work unit is completed. Parents could then review the booklets with students for enrichment and reinforcement. According to Bloomer, the consultant didn’t recommend that students be allowed to bring basic text books home. “It may be possible for the reading consultant to return to Rappahannock before school starts for work with teachers," Bloomer continued. He noted that the consultant may be able to instruct teachers in new reading techniques.

Then we’ll be able to determine did Johnny make a year’s progress, half a year, threequarters or whatever...Then we’ll be better able to tell how much we can really anticipate for another year.’’ Realistic Goals “But we have to be realistic in that minimum competencies for graduation have been set for the ninth grade,” Bloomer continued. “That’s three years below grade level. There’s no way, in the opinion of the consultant, that we can take individuals that are two and three years behind and catch them up in one, two or even three years.” “How much of this problem has been brought about by social promotion?” asked Mrs. Massie. Bloomer answered that, in his personal opinion,- a great deal of the problem resulted from lower expectations. “We responded in terms of what is expected of us. If there’s less expected, we do less,” he maintained. By identifying a child’s progress, enlisting parental support and requiring basic skill and minimum competencies for graduation testing, expectations for students will be raised, according to Bloomer. "It’s going to have to be a tri-pod approach,” he said. “The teachers can’t do it by themselves. The student can’t do it by himself and the parents can’t. If any of those legs break down, we’re in trouble.” “All of the teachers who said they would teach in the summer reading program are good reading teachers that could give a great service to these students,” Mrs. Massie noted. “Well,” Dr. Bloomer responded, "If the 350 students came and desired the reading program, the eleven teachers that we have now would not give us an adequate- pupil-teacher ratio.” Eleven teachers could serve 350 students only by having classes of 30 or more. nm =^= WE’VE GOT THE VALUES FENCED IN GATES 4’ $15.20 8’ $28.15 10' $31.80 12’ $35.10 14' $42.90 16' $46.20 tools hardware paint CHECK OUR SELECTION AND PRICE THE NEXT TIME YOU NEED...

Transition from third to fourth grade is the “most crucial,” he said. According to Bloomer, the consultant indicated that, “if there is any doubt, then the child should be retained in the third grade until they have completed everything in the third grade." Otherwise, said Bloomer, the student will become frustrated as he’s required to begin reading for content in math, science and other subject areas. "It has seemed in past years that we begin losing children at this stage,” said Mrs. Massie. “What can be done to prevent this?” she asked. Bloomer replied that he had not discussed this particular problem with the reading consultant. However, he reported that the Book Mark reading program adopted by the Rappahannock schools introduced new skills after the third and fourth grade that other reading series didn't address. In the fifth, sixth and seventh grades, other series repeat skills taught in the third and fourth grades, according to Bloomer. The adoption of the new Book Mark series could have affected test results and grade level standings of Rappahannock students since the tests assumed certain skills had been taught which had not been offered to county students, according to Bloomer. Rec Authority Proposed At the June meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the Rappahannock Recreation Association moved a step closer to building an allpurpose court, tennis courts and swimming pool on the Association’s property outside the town of Washington. The Supervisors agreed to have Commonwealth Attorney George Davis work with attorney Doug Baumgardner in drawing up an ordinance that would make the Recreation Association into the Rappahannock Recreational Facilities Authority. As an agent of county government, the Authority would then be eligible for state and federal funding. Baumgardner told the supervisors that the recreation center is currently owned, operated'!* and maintained by the unincorporated Recreation Association. Association plans call for an all-purpose court to be built in the immediate future with tennis courts and a swimming pool part of long range goals. However, Baumgardner noted, money for expanded facilities is a problem. In order to qualify for state and federal funding. Baumgardner said, either the Association’s property must be deeded to the county or the Supervisors must create an Authority. If the county attempted to maintain and run the recreation center, problems on supporting the center with private funds may be encountered, according to Baumgardner. He added that it wouldn’t be proper to use tax money for support. An Authority, he explained, can raise funds privately and also solicit funds from state and federal agencies. “Would we be creating another agency like the Board of Zoning Appeals?” asked supervisor Clarence Baldwin. No, answered Baumgardner, because a Recreation Authority would have its own fund raising capability. George Davis interjected that a Recreation Authority would be a separate entity, more like the County Water and Sewer Authority. “Sounds like it’s worth considering,” commented Supervisor Butch Eastham. The only difference between creating an Authority and keeping the Recreation Association as it's run now would be that the Authority could solicit state and federal funds, noted Supervisor H. B. Wood. “How much authority would we have over the Authority?” asked Eastham. ‘‘A lot,” Baumgardner replied, noting that the Supervisors would appoint members to the Authority’s board of commissioners. Luke stated that he’d like to explore any potential problems that may be involved in the change with Commonwealth Attorney George Davis. “Are there any objections to having the Recreation Association and our attorney work together?” he asked. None were presented. “We’ll submit an ordinance (establishing an Authority) to your attorney for review," Baumgardner volunteered. In other action, the Supervisors appointed Jennings Hobson as the Board’s representative to the Emergency Services Council and set July 13 at 10 a.m. in the courthouse for a public hearing on Jay Dawson’s proposed large lot subdivision near Huntly. Before adjourning, the Board withdrew to executive session to discuss pending litigation and "the probable purchase of land for a landfill” that would be owned and operated by the county. \GReal \ Estate Si/een dl. MMM REALTOR ma A BETTER BUY Sure mortgage interest rates are higher than they were, but so are the market values of homes and land. Please believe me when I say that even at today's inflated prices and interest rates, real estate is a better buy than anything else you can go after with borrowed dollars. Financing for other purchases often costs twice as much - and these things depreciate while a house usually grows in value. Check the trade-in value of your car when you turn it in for a new one. Also for the past ten years, real estate values have doubled the increase in the Dow Jones average. In this sense, real estate is the most worth-while investment you can make, and your best protection against inflation.

Dean Irvine interjected that “nothing of any consequence had been offered” by the administration as a solution to the poor reading performances by Rappahannock students. Other schools cover a year’s work in a summer program, he maintained. “Why can’t we do that here?” Irvine asked. “The process for gain in subject matter is not the same as the process for gain in skills development,” Hogan replied. “Skill development takes time,” agreed Bloomer. “You cannot cram a skill. You can cram knowledge.” Dot Irvine asked how much six weeks progress would help students in the coming year and was told that children who completed summer school would be individually placed in reading programs next year on the basis of that attainment. Transportation Factor Bloomer noted that transportation would also be a limiting factor in the number of students who would take advantage of the summer program. Currently, he said, proposals call for six buses to run routes to centralized pick-up points. Allen Stokes asked what effect the summer school would have on the school budget. Bloomer explained that surplus funds existed in the current budget to cover the estimated $30,000 cost of the summer program. However, since regulations don’t allow for the use of money from the current budget to pay for anything after June 30th, availability of funds depended on the Supervisors’ approval of next year’s budget, he noted. Bloomer explained that there was $25,000 left from unexpended teacher salaries and $10,000 left from unexpended bus driver salaries in this year’s budget. If certain items in next year's budget — purchase of roofing materials for the high school, purchase of a tractor and mower and vehicle upgrade — could be paid for with that $35,000, it would free funds out of next year's budget to cover the July portion of the summer reading program. "If a decision is made to go that route,” Bloomer noted, “we’re second guessing the Supervisors” since the proposal hinges on approval of next year’s budget in its entirety. Thirty thousand dollars “will cover the number of students eleven teachers can handle,” Bloomer continued. “Anything over 120 students, the progress per child will be less.” “So you’re going to have to tailor your enrollment to meet the funds and the staff available,” noted Stokes. “Could outside teachers be hired if 200 students were interested in the summer program?” asked Nancy Reeve. “Possibly,” Bloomer answered, but he noted that the minimum of six-weeks progress per child was projected on the basis of using teachers familiar with Rappahannock's reading program. “If we deviate from the expected factors, then we’ll have a drop in the expected outcome," he said. Arthlinda Qiiaintance moved that the School Board adopt the summer reading program as proposed by the administration. “1 move we try anything to help the children,” she stated. The Board passed the motion unanimously. After a long executive session for “personnel matters.” the School Board returned to an open meeting and announced that the six week summer reading program would begin June 19. Previously mentioned items from next year's budget will be paid for out of surplus funds from this year to release revenue to pay for the July portion of summer school. Parents, except in cases of hardship, will be charged $50 tuition, reimbursable if a child has perfect attendance. i SPECIAL | THANK YOU to local attorneys tor donations, to the volunteer workers, to Mrs Edna Carney to the Rappahannock News and the supporters who made the spaghetti dinner a success Washington | Vol. Fire Dept. & Rescue Squad PICK YOUR OWN STRAWBERRIES ).

THURSDAY, JUNE 8,1978 Flag Day June 14 is Flag Day, the beginning of a 21 day salute to America that will run through July 4. It’s a time to let flags fly from homes and businesses all over Rappahannock. As President Carter stated in his Flag Day Proclamation last year, it’s a time for all Americans ‘to honor America through public gatherings and other suitable activities that will demonstrate their pride in their Nation and its accomplishments.” But pride in our country and its heritage should mean more than running the Stars and Stripes up on a flag pole for three weeks out of the year. “We can remember the past with flags and parades and fireworks as President Adams envisioned in the first summer of our independence, but to honor the past, we must hand this magnificent experiment in selfgovernment on to future generations, free and strong.” — Gerald R. Ford. Self-government begins at the local level. If it’s to be kept free and strong at the top, it must remain free and strong at the bottom. Government cannot maintain a firm foundation without involvement by the people at its beginnings. As part of the 21 day salute to honor America, we urge Rappahannock’s people to pay attention to what’s happening here. Protect this “magnificent experiment in self-government” where it really counts — at home. Request F6r Another Deputy Denied The Rappahannock Supervisors have refused to wait until the scheduled June 19 budget hearing to decide on authorization of additional personnel for the county Sheriff’s Department. Despite appeals for delay, they voted unanimously at Thursday’s Board meeting to delete Sheriff . A. Buntin s request for another deputy from the budget. In addition. Chairman F. P. Luke directed that a letter be sent to the State Compensation Board stating the Rappahannock Supervisors’ op|M>sition to funding an additional position for the Sheriff’s Department. (The Compensation Board provides two-thirds of the salaries for law enforcement personnel, localities are responsible for the remaining third. I “Every year, we’re getting further and further behind,” stated Buntin. “We have no county cars, we have no central dispatching system and we don’t have enough help. Eventually, were going to have to have all of these things, he maintained, adding that Rappahannock was the only county that he knew of without a dispatching system and cars. Buntin acknowledged that buying cars and a dispatching system would mean a large expenditure of county funds. Instead of pushing for these expensive items, he noted that he was asking for a “very minimal thing’ in requesting an additional deputy for the third time. The Compensation Board allows one deputy per 2,000 people. On the basis of Rappahannock s population of slightly over .">,000, the county could have additional personnel, according to the Sheriff. ith two full-time deputies and the part-time services of Ray Jackson, the Sheriffs Department does not have “enough manpower to follow up on investigations. Buntin maintained. Commonwealth Attorney George Davis interjected that the V irginia Alcohol Safety Action Program will furnish the county with a man and a vehicle. Davis said this would relieve some of the pressure on the Sheriff’s deputies. He added that the funds available through VASAP would go to some other county if Rappahannock didn't lake advantage of the opportunity. In answer to a question from Buntin, Davis said that the town of Gordonsville in Orange County had a deputy and car funded through VASAP. Buntin agreed to investigate this possibility but also continued with his plea to the Supervisors for authorization of an additional position. Noting that his department had just lost two men primarily because of working conditions. Buntin reported that depu' - were on duty 12 hours a day. six days per week. The men work at least eight hours out of every 12 and are tied down by being on call even when they’re not actually on the job, according to Buntin. He continued that one deputy was required to sit in on each of the seven sessions of scheduled court days per month. In addition, Buntin said, two deputies are required for Circuit Court sessions. He reported that the numbers of papers served had jumped from 600 in 1976 to an estimated 900 for the current year. "The paper work is increasing all the time but we’ve had no increase in personnel,” the Sheriff said. ‘‘We’re operating at a lower level than any outfit I know of." he concluded. As soon as the Sheriff sat down. Supervisor H. B. Wood moved that the request for an additional deputy be deleted from the proposed budget. But before a vote could be taken, Jennings Hobson spoke in support of the Sheriff’s request. "I live next to the jail. I watch these guys. They spend 70 to 80 hours per week working for this county at no great shakes in salary." The Rappahannock Sheriff's Department has already lost two good men as a result of poor working conditions, Hobson maintained, and w ill lose more in the future if conditions aren’t improved. He asked that the Supervisors at least defer action until after the scheduled budget hearing on June 19. Clarence Baldwin agreed that the Sheriff’s Department had lost two very good men. "But we're never going to be able to compete with Fairfax or Arlington. We don’t have the money.” Baldwin said. "Improved working conditions would help," countered Hobson. Buntin interjected the lack of — Rappahannock New. Photo/S. Lathaai THE EXHIBIT of Indian artifacts displayed at the garden dub flower show is examined by Frank Keyser of Clifton who attended the show with his grandmother, Mrs. H. M. Keyser of Washington. applicants (or the two positions that had been open was proof that the jobs were “not very desirable." After advertising for three weeks, Buntin noted that just three people applied for the positions of deputy and corrections officer. Only one applicant was from Rappahannock, he added. Deputy Ronny Hawkins criticized the Supervisors' negative attitude and charged that the Board approached the Sheriff’s request with "closed minds." He questioned the fairness of acting on the proposal for an additional deputy without waiting to determine the feelings of the public. Voters demonstrated that they wanted law enforcement when they elected Buntin as Sheriff, Hawkins continued. Keeping this in Blind, he maintained A was hard to understand the Board’s negative attitude. "What some people consider as negative, other people see as positive, countered H. B. Wood. Hawkins made a last request for the Supervisors to delay action until the regular budget hearing but the Board voted unanimously to delete the request for an additional Sheriff's deputy. Referendum To the editor: On my return from spending a few days over Memorial Day at Camelback, where I was once again pleaaed at the enthusiastic public response to our Alpine Slide there, I found the News of May 25, with your welcome pahannock Ski area. Like you, I appreciate the problem of what will happen to the property if we do not reopen the area for year-round recreation. We would not develop it ourselves, as that is not our business; we w -uld of course sell it at the best price possible in order to avoid additional loss. What the purchaser would do with it 1 do not know. I hope such an issue will never have to be decided in Rappahannock County. The principal purpose of this letter is to endorse and approve your suggestion of a referendum. This has one important disadvantage to us, in that additional time would be consumed and we would clearly not be able to open the area for the winter ski season. However, I feel that the advantages far outweigh this disadvantage. As you point out. the legal proceedings themselves are complicated; they are also time consuming and expensive, both for us and the taxpayers of the county. More important, the voters of the county surely should be allowed to make this decision. I have consistently stated that I do not want us to run the area if we do not have the support of the community. For some time I have been confident that we have that support; if we do not, I prefer to forget the whole thing. I suspect that the opponents of the area are equally confident that the voters would disapprove; indeed, in your issue of June I, two of the three letters critical of your May 25 editorial mention the referendum possibility without criticism and the third does not mention it. I believe (naturally) that the opponents are mistaken in their fears of the adverse effect of the area would have on the county, but I give them credit for complete sincerity. The overwhelming advantage of a referendum is stated by Mr. Parson: “If the people have the facts and vote a decision, that would end the controversy." I agree. JAMES A. MOORE Legal? To the editor: I am myatified by certain aspect* of the proposed exchange of land in Shenandoah National Park for private land held by Saddleback Associates. My mystification has to do with some amendments to Section 7.1-22 of the Code of Virginia which protects Virginia's right to reversion of Park land abandoned by the Park to the Commonwealth of Virginia. I believe the chronology of events has some importance. In the spring of 1974 Saddleback Associates “approached the Park concerning their interest in exchanging some properties on Saddleback Mountain. The purpose of their proposal was to prohibit likely development of their property in such a manner as to effectively sever a portion of the Park from future public use." This proposal was not consummated. In 1975 Section 7.1-22 of the Code of Virginia was amended by the addition of a paragraph, by which the “General Assembly of Virginia has authorized the United States to exchange away lands conveyed to it by the Commonwealth for Park purposes without its immediate reversion to the Commonwealth." The “proposal, therefore, is to exchange the privately-owned north Saddleback Mountain Tract for various tracts of Parklands which, in total, are of equal dollar value." “Again, in early 1976 a member of Saddleback Associates informed the Park that they were interested in disposing of their property in Saddleback Mountain, but were extremely reluctant to take any action which would lead to the development of the Saddleback property because of its adverse effect upon the Park. The Park agreed to enter into further explorations and suggested the possibility of exchanging several properties along the periphery of the Park." “Two tracts of Federal land were selected for possible use in this equal value land exchange." ‘‘However, this option was discarded because Saddleback Mountain Associates, the owners of the north Saddleback Mountain tract, were not interested in obtaining either of these two tracts of Parkland. Therefore, other options were studied." “After thorough deliberation by Park officials and the owners of the north Saddleback Mountain land, tracts 3, 4, 5, and 6 were selected for consideration for the land exchange.” "As a result of these studies, we are considering trading four tracts of U. S. Government land totaling approximately 405 acres for 442 acres of the SaddlebaMc tract." " Alsojn 1976, Section 7.1-22 of the Code of Virginia was amended to delete the paragraph added in 1975. It remains deleted in 1978. There is. I believe, no basis in the Code for Virginia to relinquish its reversion rights in Parkland. Now , on what basis of Virginia law does the Park propose to transfer Park land from the National Park System to private individuals, bypassing the right of the State of Virginia to reversion? Are the Park Administration and Saddleback Associates land hunting in Virginia with a suspended license? A. STAN LEY THOMPSON All quotations are from Environmental Assessment, I .and Exchange. Shenandoah National Park. Luray. Virginia, March 1978. pages 1 7 to 22. Thoughts Provoked To the editor: News that a swap of some Rappahannock and Warren County Park land, for privately owned land in Greene County is being considered provoked some thoughts new to me. For instance, if I had discovered a piece of the Park I would like to have, could I go to the Park Authority and find out what lands in private hands the authorities would like most to acquire, seek out the owners of that sort of land, arrange what purchase or purchases I could, and then get back to the Park authorities for some negotiations? This sort of thought occurs because as things stand with the proposed swap of Greene County land for Warren and Rappahannock County land, it looks as if Park land can only pass into special hands for private use—that this sort of thing isn’t available to all. Surely that can’t be ttue. Surely anyone wanting Park land could get it if one were just ingenious enough. Another thought that sprang to mind was how the proposed new owners of Rappahannock County Park land would respond to a suggestion that, to show their good faith with respect to what they would like to see happen to that land, they donate a scenic easement on it to the Park Authority which would preserve it as is in perpetuity? It is in Letters To The Editor conceivable that the eminent public officials of this community and Front Royal who hope to acquire Park land by the proposed' swap would want to see a flower, shrub, or tree of what has been public property harmed while entrusted to them, or to permit the despoilation of the land by their successors. If such a swap must go through, the. new owners could quiet some misgivings if they gave away rights to maintain the land in anything but wild, natural, untouched states, as described in the Park Service report, “There are no signs of human impact.’’ And so would the Park Authority quiet misgivings if they put a “forever wild” covenant on the land they expect to acquire in Greene County. If in the future they decide to swap that land for another parcel, at least no harm could come to it. I also Wondered if the National Park system could benefit from citizen advisory groups, individuals who could look over the shoulders of the Park authorities to see how Park policies and plans are impacting the Parks themselves and the public whose interests the Parks serve. Of course members of an advisory group, to have any credibility with the public, would be required to refrain from attempting to or acquiring Park lands—for life. And they would need to be free to question about and discuss with the Park employees anything they felt important. If there were such a group in Virginia, it could help promote schemes which would assist the Park authorities in acquiring the lands they need without necessitating amputations of existing Park land in the process. We tend to forget that Park lands were once private, that individuals were sometimes driven out of their homes and off their lands to make the acquisition of the Park possible. How would one of those individuals and one’s descendants feel if tfjey observed the land they were forced to relinquish for "Park” some time later handed to “them" for whatever use they could arrange for it? A public policy that makes such a circumstance possible can engender a want of faith in our institutions and in those charged with the disinterested performance of their duties as servants of the public. DIANA W. BIRD Washington Significant Action To the editor: Last Thursday, our Supervisors summarily dismissed our Sheriffs request for an additional deputy, for the third year in a row. While this might not seem like a very significant action to many people, it has important consequences when one looks at the facts. First, there is the question of the need for an additional deputy. Each year recently the work load carried by the Sheriffs Department has increased — more warrants, more legal papers to serve, more court dates to attend, more investigations and emergency calls, etc. More of everything, yet the same number of deputies to do the work. Our deputies are presently scheduled for at least 72 hours a week, and with court appearances and other demands often coming in “off’ hours, they surely put in over 80 hours a week. All of this for a salary that starts at $7500, and they still must supply their own car and gun. This divides out to $1.80 per hour or less at the starting salary. How many of us would work an occasionally dangerous and always Remanding job for very long at that wage? And how can we in good conscience ask our county employees to do so? We citizens have the right to expect action from the Sheriffs Department when we need it, and the Sheriff and his deputies try to provide that. But how long can we expect them to continue doing it under these circumstances? Clearly, the additional deputy is needed. Second, there is the question of cost. The salary of a new deputy is $7500, but the state pays two thirds of that if the position is approved. This leaves thdteost to the county at $2500. Mileage payments overall should not increase much because the new deputy would be taking some of the load off the others, and again, the state pays two thirds. With a little something for uniforms and other minor expenses, this brings the cost of a new deputy in at around $3000. And while that might sound like a lot to you and me, in a county budget that lists resources of almost $2,000,000, that amount is not significant. It must reasonably be considered affordable. We clearly need the additional deputy, and we can reasonably afford it. Why then did the Supervisors reject this request? There seems to be no good answer to that question. Do they doubt the need? As a neighbor who observes the comings and goings of the Sheriffs Department closely, I can personally testify to that need, and so can others. Do they fear the expense? The facts noted above remove that from being a reasonable excuse. Do they not care? That seems to be too incredible to believe! At the meeting Thursday, there was mention of a possible additional deputy being funded through a special program of VASAP. But on closer examination that possibility does not offer any relief to our present deputies because of special functions required of a deputy in that program. Again, there’s no clear answer to the question of “why not?” But it is clear that if we expect to continue to have reasonable service from our Sheriffs Department, then we all ought to support them by speaking to our Supervisors and by coming to the budget hearing on June 19 at 10 a.m. We can only hope that the Supervisors will reserve their decision and properly support the man that we selected to do the job as Sheriff. The loss of two good men from the department in recent months only serves to underline the seriousness of the situation. THE REV. JENNINGS HOBSON III Closed Minds To the editor: The atittude of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors at last week’s meeting was NOT in the interest of the citizens on the issue of securing another deputy for the Sheriffs Department. The Supervisors rejected the request by the Sheriff before even hearing the issue discussed by him or others, and came to last Thursday’s meeting apparently with a closed mind. It was obvious that the Board members did not even extend Mr. Buntin the courtesy of their full attention. I can only feel that this will in turn hurt you, the citizens of Rappahannock County, by whom the supervisors are elected and who they are supposed to represent. Rappahannock is the only county in the state without county police cars and a central communications system. The Sheriffs Department lacks adequate working space and the working conditions are not standard. The Sheriff has never asked for any unnecessary spending, is frugal and is cost conscious. The work load has increased, service of papers has jumped, court days and court functions increased, (for example Vepco hearings where commissioners had to be transported for on site inspections). Demands from organizations wanting police attention for special events and regular court days including Circuit, Juvenile A. Domestic Relations, General District, are ajl greater. You the citizens must decide whether or not you want law enforcement in your county. It is up to you to contact your Supervisors and to attend the special budget hearing June 19 at 10 a.m. in the courthouse at Washington when the 197879 budget will be finalized. I feel that you the citizens of Rappahannock County will respond to this vital issue. RONALD D. HAWKINS Deputy Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department Ironically Defeated To the editor: I went to speak for two somewhat related issues, which the Board of Supervisors ironically defeated last week. First of all, I want to thank Supervisors Latham and Wood for trying to get an ordinance passed banning “loaded” shotguns and rifles when such were not being put to a present and necessary use. It is sad, if not someday tragic, that the Supervisors defeated this proposal for such reasons as, “that’s what the majority of people want,” and the ineffectualness or the inability to enforce such an ordinance (despite arguments from our game warden to the contrary). Giving the Supervisors the benefit of the doubt, it must be assumed that they are concerned about the need for people to protect themselves and family from criminals. Otherwise, I cannot think of one plausible reason for the ’’idle” possession of a loaded rifle, except for waiting to hunt illegally from the road. If a loaded pistol, which would have been allowed under this proposed ordinance, is not enough to make people feel protected, and if protection is really what’s at issue here, then protection from criminals must be a very Replacement To the editor: We want to thank you lor your coverage of last weeks Citizens for Better Education meeting. As President of that organization I would like to emphasize the part concerning the reappointment or replacement of the School Board member from the StonewallHawthorne District. Essentially we have a good School Board but it could be much better by having a replacement rather than a reappointment. We have been attending the School Board meetings regularly and feel that the replacement would mean a more effecient conduct of business. With a Board this size one person can make a great deal of difference. The person who could make that difference is Mr. Irvin Kenyon of Slate Mills. His character is above reproach. He is active with our children in the County recreation^ program. He has children in the school system. He is known by the people of his area. He is an active Church member in Slate Mills. There was a rumor circulating that Mr. Kenyon was not eligible. This is untrue. His superiors have not only declared him eligible but have encouraged him to seek such a position in his community. If anyone would like to express their support of Mr. Kenyon I would encourage them to call or write one or more members of the School Trustee Electoral Board: Mr. George Muth, Woodville. Virginia 22749, 987-8257; Mr. John S. Browning, Flint Hill, Virginia 22627 , 675-3667; or Mr. C. E. Johnson, Jr., Sperryville, Virginia 22740, 9878300. This decision will be made by the Board of Electors at a public meeting on June 20, at the Rappahannock Elementary School, 8 p.m. I encourage you also to support Mr. Kenyon by coming to that meeting. REV* RONALD WILEY Sperryville, Virginia Voice Raised To the editor: I should like to raise my voice in protest over the proposed "land swap" as reported in the Rappahannock News. To me. it is unthinkable that any land, which has been entrusted to the National Park Service, should be turned over without restriction to private parties, regardless of the status of these individuals. I need not remind the Park Service that land for our Shenandoah National Park was purchased from, or donated by its former owners to be held in trust for future generations. Descendents of these original owners still reside in the immediate area. To give this land away now seems to me to be a serious breach of truat. not only to the original owners and their families, but to owners of adjacent land and to all Americans. No one should be allowed to profit from, or to exploit the timber, wildlife, or the heritage of this trust. I hope that the Park Service will do everything in its power to caned this proposed travesty. HOWARD W. HOLSCHUH Captain, l). S. Navy (Retired! + + + + On an ugent call to a farmhouse late at night, an elderly doctor tripped and fell to the ground. He began to curse fiercely. Hearing the commotion outside, the farmer appeared at the doorway and said, “Weil, I’ll be durnedl I never knew that those Hippocratic oaths you fellows go in for were so much like the ones that we plain folks use!” important priority for our Supervisors. This is what I find ironical in relation to an issue which I will discuss next. The Board of Supervisors voted against Sheriff Buntin’s perennial request for an additional deputy, even though the state would pay two-thirds of the new deputy’s salary. Besides the problem of increasing crime and fear, there are other good reasons for expanding the sheriff's department. Our present police force is overworked putting in 70-80 hours per week, which, when translated into an hourly wage, falls below the federal minimum wage (drastically so for a new deputy). These working conditions already have been responsible in part for the loss of two deputies and possibly a third. If loaded shotguns and rifles are so necessary for our protection, then it is ironical that one more deputy is not necessary. June 19 at 10 a.m. the Board of Supervisors will have a public hearing on the new proposed budget which, in addition to education, is too low by leaving out one badly needed deputy. Please come and express your thoughts. DAVID M. MOORE Questions Raised To the editor: The article entitled “Park Trades Rappahannock Land" by Daphne McCullough (Rapp. News, 25 May 19781 raises two questions in my mind that have not been directly addressed in other letters to the editor. First, it appears that the three owners of private land who arranged the land trade after almost four years of negotiations with the Park Service are public officials who exercise power and influence in their respective communities. For such persons to consummate a land trade such as this, without any public notice or discussion and without the discipline that would otherwise have been afforded by open competition in the marketplace, inevitably raises the specter of ijipropriety,-that (is. an ap‘ pearafice that insiders in gotem* meet gained a special advantage by reason of their favored position. The impropriety, or appearance thereof, could easily have been avoided had the principals insisted on appropriate public notice of the proposed transfer before it became a fait accompli. Their apparent failure to do so betrays an insensitivity to the interests of this community and suggests that their sole concern has been to insure the consummation of the trade. Second, the Park Service appears to have given “final approval" to the trade after considering only the relative merits, for Park purposes, of the several parcels of land involved. This is too narrow a test. The Park exists in a context—it has adjacent landowners and communities to which it has a duty, as a governmental entity, to relate openly and fairly. It is well known that few issues are of greater concern to local governments than those involving xoning and land use. By its failure to open the proposed trade to timely public discussion, the Park Service has shown that it is motivated by a narrow self interest. More regrettably, it has demonstrated a callous disregard for the interests of its neighbors and neighboring communities that is unworthy of its trust. Washington LEE BjRD Fellowship To the editor: There are many churches in this area of all denominations. Why is it when one church holds a revival all the other churches seem to close their eyes and ears? Even though there are many different denominations, there is still only one God. This same God created us all and made us all equal. There isn’t a one of us who is better than another. If we all love the same God, why can’t we love one another and express our love for each other? The Bible teaches us to love the Lord with all our heart and to love our neighbor as ourself. Our denomination isn’t what’s going to get us to heaven anyway. I believe when there is a revival going on the churches should join together, fellowship with each other and let brotherly love flow. MARY ANN PLACE Church of God of Prophecy

No Extension For Local Calls <t During March 1978, the Chespeake and Potomac Telephone Company of Virginia conducted a poll of the subscribers in the Culpeper exchange con* > cerning the extension of their local area to include the Washington, Virginia ex* change. The Central Telephone Company of Virginia con* ducted a similar survey of its customers to extend calling from Washington, Virginia to Culpeper. Bill Brown, manager for CAP Telephone in Culpeper, reports the final results of the March survey have been completed. 17.1 per cent of the subscribers in the Culpeper exchange and 32.6 per cent of the subscribers in the Washington exchange voted yes to extend their local calling between these two areas. The per cent of customers voting yes on the survey falls short of the fifty per cent required in each exchange to expand the local calling area, according to the local manager. The results of the survey have been certified to the State Corporation Com* mission by both telephone companies. + + + + Judgment is the ability to make correct decisions in advance of the event.

"The Constitution says we have the right to bear arms," remarked Baldwin. He maintained that adoption of the proposed ordinances would be an infringement of this right since an unloaded gun “is just another piece of pipe.” Supervisor H. B. Wood took exception' to Baldwin’s argument. “I don’t think we’re getting into that," he maintained. Instead, said Wood, the hunter control ordinances would give the game warden a tool he could use to combat illegal out-ofcounty hunters. Latham moved that the ordinances be adopted with the motion seconded by Wood. Luke asked for a roll call vote. On both ordinances, Wood and Latham voted for adoption with Eastham and Baldwin opposed. Ip each case, Luke cgpt. the final, deciding vote against enactment. Jut Another Law “I’m against it because I think it’s just another law on the books,” announced Luke after the vote on the ordinance that would have made it illegal to carry a loaded rifle or shotgun in a vehicle on a public road. “I don’t think we can enforce it," he maintained. Luke added that he would be willing to write to Rappahannock’s representatives in the General Assembly in support of equalization of hunting seasons east and west of the Blue Ridge.

Royal St. Front Royal, Va. 635-7528 changed, then the Supervisors should appeal for additional game wardens to help Bankston enforce existing ordinances, added Eastham. After both proposed ordinances went down to defeat, Luke apologized to Bankston, apparently for the Board’s failure to enact laws Bankston felt would aid in controlling hunting violations. After the vote, Commonwealth Attorney George Davis announced that “walking down the highway during hunting season with a loaded gun” was already a violation of the law under eiisting ordinances. According to Davis, possession of a loaded gun constitutes presumption to hunt and is therefore illegal. He added that the same presumption of intent to hunt applied to carrying a loaded rifle or shotgun in a vehicle. Davis continued that the two ordinances proposed for adoption in Rappahannock had been adopted in Fauquier County and had proved to be unenforcable there. According to Davis, Judge Carson had dismissed cases brought to trial in Fauquier because of a Ruritans Extend Invitation Ineodore G.

Mr. Scott’s presentation of Wreck Robert Ramey of Flint Hill sustained injuries June 3 in a motorcycle accident on Route 630 near Foster’s Packing House, according to Trooper H. A. Newlin. Ramey was operating a '70 Suzuki cycle when he ran off the shoulder of the road, lost control in the tall grass and turned over, said Newlin. Ramey was taken to Warren Memorial Hospital by Flint Hill Rescue unit for treatment.

His more recent activities include teaching at Woodberry Forrest School as well as conducting a series of night classes for adults at Grymes School near Orange.” conflict in that county’s hunter control law. Davis added that the Fauquier Supervisors were revamping their whole ordinance on gun control because it is unenforcable as written. Game warden Jim Bankston countered that the wording of the ordinances adopted in Fauquier was “substantially changed” from those proposed for Rappahannock. In addition, he noted that Fauquier’s laws had been enacted under an entirely different code reference. “If they had worded theirs as we worded ours—and as Culpeper worded theirs — they (Fauquier County) wouldn't have had a problem,” Bankston contended. He added that current law may consider possession of a loaded gun as presumption of hunting but unless a shot is actually fired, there’s “no violation.” Secondary Roads (Continued from Page 1) provements to Route 707 near Slate Mills. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin asked when lane widening on the Fodderstack bridge would be finished and Askew assured him completion of improvements there was just a matter of putting the approaches in. Supervisor Butch Eastham asked for an extension of the traffic line on Route 522 and Askew promised to send a Highway Department representative out to evaluate the traffic hazard.

Askew replied that he would “look into it” but added that he couldn’t promise any reaults.

Their silken “tents” in the crotches of open-grown wild cherry trees are unusually common this year. Masses of caterpillars leave their protective webs during the day to feed on the leaves of their host trees. The resulting defoliation—and the "tents” themselves—can be real eye sores but will rarely cause any permanent injury to the trees. The larvae mature in about 6 weeks and drop to the ground to pupate. Often, the caterpillars will wander around looking for a suitable place for pupation. You may discover them crawling across your lawn or sidewalks, sometimes en masse. Tlie adult moths emerge in June. Eggs are laid in shiny black masses on wild cherry branches. The insects spend the winter in the egg stage and emerge as tiny caterpillars in spring.

Partial control is possible in areas where infestation is heavy, or where aesthetic considerations are important. Branches with the offending tents can be pruned off and burned. The egg masses are very noticeable and can also be destroyed. Insecticides may be effective if applied soon after the larvae hatch in the spring. All insect pests are very prolific and the tent caterpillar is no exception. According to a report from one of our entomologists, starvation and other factors should help to reduce the surviving population of caterpillars this year, but unless the larval population is reduced by 97 per cent or more, there is a good chance of an equal number of caterpillars next spring!

REESE «MU4t Concern Over Land Trade Increases Uitnen concern over the proposed trade of Shenandoah Perk property in Rappahannock County for private land in Greene County surfaced at Friday’s quarterly meeting of‘the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. Stanley Thompson, a land owner whose property adjoins a tract involved in the trade, asked for support from the RLEP audience that included State Delegate George Beard. In his statement, Thompson noted that negotiations for the trade had been going on for four years with the “only inklings available to the public" coming from the appearance of “one or another of the new owners on neighbor’s property in efforts to consolidate ahead of time the advantages they might expect in securing title to this Park land.” (Park authorities initially reported that the private citizens involved in the land swap were Front Royal town attorney Eric Adamson, Rappahannock Zoning Administrator Evan McNear and Circuit Court Judge Raynor V. Snead. According to McNear, he and Snead are not parties in the transaction. Instead, said McNear, the owners of the property in Greene County are his wife, Jean McNear; Judge Snead’s wife, Lois Snead and Adamson. Land records in Greene County show Mrs. McNear, Mrs; Snead and Adamson as holding title to the tract I. In the discussion at the RLEP meeting, Thompson acknowledged that the property in Greene County may well be a valuable addition to the Park as it is surrounded on three sides by Park property. However, he described the trade of current Park land for private property as “burning the furniture to keep warm.” In response to a question on future plans for the Rappahannock land should the trade receive final approval, Thompson noted that Adamson had stated there were no plans to develop the property. “But, on the other hand,” Thompson continued, “at least two of my neighbors have had approaches, one by the Judge to ask for a right-of-way to take timber out of the Park...Also, there's a lumber man named Woodard who was asked to go in and survey this area for the lumber that was in it.” Although the Park has had authority in the past to acquire land through condemnation proceedings, Thompson noted that it currently is allowed only to accept donations or trade property for new land. “Would a petition help (to stop the proposed land swap)?” asked Gladys Havstad. “My feeling is that it would,” Thompson replied. He also suggested that letters to the Park Superintendent and letters to the Park Service Regional Director in Philadelphia would assist. (Since the RLEP meeting. Thompson and other land owners with property adjoining the tracts to be traded have started a petition drive requesting a public hearing before June 23 to discuss the proposed disposal of Park land in Rappahannock. They have also asked for an extension Neighborhood Watch Program Begins The alarming increase in crime in America has prompted the National Neighborhood Watch program to be instituted the country over, in an effort to curtail burglaries of homes and businesses. Breaking and entering has become a prime concern of law enforcement agencies and the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Department has joined the effort to limit these crimes. The National Neighborhood Watch program is designed to help individuals help themselves and focuses on the prevention of residential burglary. "By being aware of activities in your neighborhood, reporting suspicious subjects and noting any unusual Baseball Try-outs The Rappahannock Athletic Association will hold try-outs for its summer baseball program on Saturday, June 10, from 1 p.m. until a pjn. at the elementary and high school fields. The program is open to all boys and girls between the ages of eight and 14. Everyone interested will be able to play. Saturday's try-outs are not for the purpose of cutting any children from the teams but rather for assessing ability so the better players can be evenly divided on balanced teams. Children who may lack the necessary skills for competition will take part in a special instructional program managed by former professional baseball star Walter Masterson. As the children in the special program improve, they will be moved up to regular teams. The Rappahannock Athletic Association still needs volunteers, particularly for umpires and grounds keepers. Anyone interested in helping with the summer baseball program can contact RAA president Guy Foster at 675-3467. Existentialism ’» first move is to make every man aware of what he is and to make the full responsibility of this rest on him. persons or vehicles in an area, may help to deter criminal activity,” said Deputy R. D. Hawkins. Rappahannock Sheriff's Department is handing out kits with information and window stickers designating homeowners as participants in the security program. Pamphlets tell how to protect your home and what to do when you are awav from home. In addition to following advice in the folders, Hawkins advises thpf the model and serial numbers should be noted on all appliances, stereos, cameras, radios, TV’s, guns, etc. so in the event any are stolen, they may be identified if recovered. Keep your list of num.bers or have it filed with the Sheriff’s Department. “Sound security practices and good locks are a deterrent and eliminate the opportunity for an easy burglary," said Hawkins. “People everywhere are looking for ways to protect themselves and their families.” For your kit contact a member of the Sheriff’s Department or they will be passing them out in various areas as they have calls there.

In answer to a question as to whether RLEP would take a stand on the land exchange, president Phil Irwin said the directors had not met to consider the issue at all. “What we would find rather helpful,” he added, “would be a show of hands of those present (on the matter).” The response was unanimous. All present at the meeting raised their hands in support of opposition to the land trade. Ed Paul Pawley asked if the decision by the Park to go on with the land trade had been made in accordance with established procedure "or is it thought that it was an arbitrary thing arrived at between the private citizens and the Park?” “My feeling is that the Park has followed whatever are its internal procedures on getting all the approvals as they go along,” Thompson replied. He added, however, that he felt the Park had given out only a "minimum of information so that sometimes people didn't know quite what they were agreeing to.” Phil Irwin said he would call a meeting of RLEP’s Board of directors within two weeks to decide whether the organization would take a position on the land trade and whether it would sponsor a petition opposing the exchange. Regular Meeting On Tuesday, lime 13 at I p.m., the KappahannockRapidan Community Services Board will hold its regular monthly meeting at the Virginia Baptist Home in Culpeper.
