She received second place on a jewelry box egg, an e8£ with doors and a music box egg. Court House Improvements The Rappahannock Supervisors met at a specially called meeting on Thursday afternoon and approved extra work to be added to the contract on the new clerk's office. For a total of $5,639, Lantz Construction Company of Broadway, Virginia, will relocate the anunciator panel (security system for the clerk’s office) in the county jail, install a central electrical service for the four buildings in the court house complex, run underground electrical cables from the court house to the other buildings and correct the guttering on the courthouse. No Option Under State Law v a Planners Recommend Rezoning By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer During a public hearing last Wednesday on Ian Pryde’s rezoning for his Blue Rock Farm subdivision, the Rappahannock Planners listened to a plea from Dr. Carroll Quaintance that they approve development proposals “only to the extent that the law requires.” Bowing to state statutes, the Planners voted unanimously to approve Pryde’s rezoning request for six large lots fronting on Route 211 between Washington and Sperryville from conservation and agriculture to residential subdivision. “It is now my understanding that under the laws of Virginia, we must grant a rezoning if the landowner is willing to comply with the provisions of the subdivision ordinance,’’ Planner Newbill Miller told Dr. Ouaintance in explaining the Commission’s action. Outside of the applicant and his attorney Douglas Baumgardner, no one spoke in favor of the subdivision. Only Dr. Quaintance appeared in opposition to the development proposal. Baumgardner noted that the rezoning request included one 15-acre lot, two 25-acre lots and two 50-acre lots with the remaining 87.5 acres in the tract not included in the application for rezoning. “Of course, rezoning will preclude any additional subdivision of the lots.” he added. "Why request a rezoning from conservation to residential subdivision?" asked Planner Walter Masterson. ‘‘The zoning ordinance requires it,” Baumgardner answered. He later explained that Pryde's application technically involved six lots including the 87.5 residual acreage. In addition, he said. Pryde had divided a 25-acre parcel off the tract several years earlier. The Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance stipulates in section 6-1 that “no subdivision containing more than five (5) lots, anyone of which contains less than twenty-five (25) acres, shall be approved by the governing body until the entire area of the proposed subdivision is rezoned as RS-1.” Masterson asked why t Pryde wanted a change in t classification of the land <■ from agriculture and con- I servation to residential I subdivision. “It’s the way the Com- i monwealth Attorney in- ! terprets the ordinance,” 1 replied Baumgardner, adding < that he agreed with George 1 Davis’s opinion. The change ' in classification “doesn't 1 imply additional rights. It only precludes resubdivision,” he said. 1 Planner Pete Luke in- ' terjected that technically the rezoning would be to residential subdivision for the property formerly in agriculture with under 14 per cent slope and to residential subdivision in a conservation district for the lots previously zoned conservation with slopes over 14 pier cent. Keeping Track of Subdivisions After the property is rezoned, “how will we keep track of these parcels?” asked Luke. “How will we know that this was part of a subdivision and cannot be redivided?” It’s the responsibility of the Zoning Administrator to color in the new classification on the county’s zoning maps, according to Miller. "We ought to have something more positive than coloring in a damn map," maintained Luke. Miller explained that the ’plat recorded in the clerk's office would carry the new classification and pointed out that the minutes of the Planning Commission could be referred to if a question on the property’s zoning ever arose. “Maybe we should require the final plat to list the zoning,” Miller added. “I think that would be a good idea,” agreed Baumgardner. “Then an attorney doing a title search would know what zone the property was in," he said, and could inform the prospective buyer of any restrictions carried by the zoning classification. “I do think we’ve got to straighten out our administrative procedures for the long haul,” maintained Col. Luke. "I'm sure Mr. Pryde wouldn’t mind indicating what the property was Heading Crets Added Emphasis By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer When Superintendent William Bloomer was hired, the Rappahannock School Board members put him on notice that they expected to see special attention directed towards reading achievement. Dr. Bloomer has responded with a proposal for an innovative primary reading lab as part of the Title I project this year plus some major changes in the existing Title I programs for grades four through seven. Despite letters that go out every year to parents of children in Title classes, the School Board hears almost constant complaints that the administration fails to adequately explain Title I. Wrong impressions seem to be the rule rather than the exception. Title classes are for children labeled "disadvantaged," "slow learners” or "underachievers” Pupils who need additional skill development. Students in these classes are NOT retarded. “Some people can run 100 yards in ten seconds flat. Some people take 15 seconds where if they practiced longer, they can run 100 yards in 12 seconds,” said Dr. Bloomer. Students in the Title classes are like the runners who need more practice to improve their performance, he explained. The major guideline governing the federally funded Title 1 classes is that instruction must be supplemental and add to a regular program rather than replace it. This guideline controls teaching materials as well as determining exactly what part of the program is paid for with federal dollars. As reading labs supplement regular reading instruction, federal funds can be used to pay for teacher, aide and materials while in the standard Title I classroom, only aides and materials are covered. Federal regulations hold that the classroom teacher would be there for the children whether the Title program existed or not. As the teacher is part of what is considered regular instruction, the position must be funded with local money. This restriction applies particularly now that the trend is towards “mainsteaming” Title 1 students in regular classes rather than keeping them segregated in self-contained units throughout the school day. Mainstreaming Throughout Bloomer reported that grades four through seven have been mainstreamed at the Rappahannock Elementary School except for the reading lab classes. “1 want to move that procedure to the primary grades” where Title 1 children have been kept in separate classes as part of the junior primary system, he said. The Bookmark series is the text used in regular reading instruction at the elementary school. Because federal regulations require that Title 1 programs be supplemental, the same series couldn't be used in the past in primary Title 1 classes “even though it might be better,” said Bloomer. So instead of Bookmark, Title classes in grades one through three were taught with the Open Court series. Bloomer noted that this caused transitional problems for children. Kindergarteners started their reading in Bookmark. Then those singled out for additional skill development In Title classes switched to Open Court until third grade where they changed back to Book mark. (Bloomer has reported to the School Board that regional Title 1 director Alpha Smith has informed him that Open Court should be instituted in the third grade Title classes. However, this change would only delay the transition back to Bookmark for a year until the students enter fourth grade.) Bookmark To Replace Open Court If Bloomer’s proposal for a primary reading lab is approved by regional director Smith, he hopes to start Title I students in the Bookmark series right off the bat in first grade. He explained that other materials which reinforce skills learned in the Bookmark series will be used in the lab to satisfy the federal requirement that the Title programs be supplemental. In that way, it will be possible to use Bookmark even though it is the standard text in regular instruction. “We can reinforce the same skills as long as we use different materials,’’ Bloomer said. Approval of the primary reading lab will mean more than the elimination within a year of Open Court—and transition difficulties—in grades one through three. It will also signal the end of the junior primary system that saw Title I children promoted from one level of a primary grade to another level of the same grade—in effect, promoting students while actually retaining them. Once the lab is operating, children will go to a regular reading class where they will receive extra help from the Title I aide. Then the Title students will go to the reading lab for a double dose of instruction. Bloomer said the program is designed to encourage communication between the lab and the classroom teacher on where the child needs special help. “A half year of this extra instruction in first and second (Continued on Page 2) Nice Days Lie Ahead It should be fair and warm through Saturday with high temperatures in the 80s and 90s and lows in the 60s and 70s.

As the Planners had no idditional questions for ’ryde or Baumgardner, ’tanning Commission ihairman Herbert Barksdale tsked to hear from those >pposed to the development proposal. “I want to compliment you people for doing this iistasteful job,” began Dr. Zarrol Quaintance, who’s 'amity has lived in Rappahannock for over 200 years ind who owns the land adjoining Pryde. “First, I want it known that Mr. Pryde •md his family have been wonderful neighbors,” said Quaintance, emphasizing that he was not against Pryde but against his development proposal—the “principle of the thing.” “I’m opposed to people coming here because they like the nature of the community and then they promptly try to change that nature,” said Dr. Quaintance. He maintained that Rappahannock was basically an agricultural community and should stay that way. Twenty Neighbors Dr. Quaintance said that when he settled on his land outside Washington, he had a 300-acre farm adjacent to the east, another large farm to the west and Jenkins Mountain behind him. “I visualized three neighbors. Now, I’m faced with 20...Whether I like it or not, my home is being converted to a development." He added that the continuing subdivision of Rappahannock land removes the incentive for anyone to try to maintain this community. The county already has villages and clusters of development capable of absorbing growth, he continued. If the traditional character of the county is to be preserved, then the way to do it is not to turn Rap pahannock’s remaining farm land and open space into developments, according to Dr. Quaintance. “Have you got a suggestion on how we can legally stop it?” asked Planner Dave Fannon. Dr. Quaintance answered that he was surprised and shocked to learn that the Commonwealth ties the hands of its localities by keeping for itself all powers not specifically granted to communities under the Dillon Rule. “Fd go to the state government, find out what we can do and then revise our ordinances to comply with state law,” he said. "Until we have ordinances that comply...! don’t believe that you’re going to have any kind of regulations you can enforce...because the powers reside with the state.” According to Dr. Quaintance, Virginia’s Dillon Rule is “absolutely contrary to the philosophy established in this country.” (Continued on Page 2) No To Expensive Planners The Rappahannock Planners decided at their meeting last Wednesday to forget about hiring an “expensive professional planner’’ and instead stick with the less expensive services of Planning District 9 executive director John Capelle in developing the comprehensive plan mandated for adoption by July 1, 1980. The Planners authorized chairman Herbert Barksdale to write a letter to the Board of Supervisors, formally asking approval for Capelle to begin work. Capelle, who attended the August 16 meeting, reported Reward Offered Amissville Ruritan Club and other citizens of the Amissville-Viewtown area have joined efforts and are offering a $1000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the alleged rapist who attacked a young woman on July 26. If anyone wishes to make a contribution, it will be added to the amount already offered, according to T. C. Barron, president of the local club. to the Planners that the General Assembly had adopted ‘‘conditional zoning” at the last session—an alternative that he said gives localities more flexibility. Capelle described adoption of the enabling legislation that allows conditional zoning as a move “two feet in the direction of the one mile” to go in repealing the Dillon Rule. With conditional zoning, Utcal government can negotiate with a developer on restrictions that will make a subdivision more palatable, according to Capelle. “It’s compromise on top of the table instead of underneath,” he explained. There is a problem with amending Rappahannock’s ordinances to allow conditional zoning, Capelle continued. He reported that enabling legislation included the requirement that any restrictions placed on the developer must be in compliance with the locality's comprehensive plan. Therefore, without a comprehensive plan, there can be no conditional zoning. In other action, the Planners voted unanimously —with no discussion— to advertise jointly with the Board of Supervisors for a public hearing on August 31 at 7 CHECKING OUT THEIR HANDY WORK, Jenks Hobson, Bobby Smoot and Bruce Criteer looked over the basketball backboard, just one of the many amusements at the Washington Fireman’s Carnival. p.m. in the courthouse to consider ordinance amendments. The amendments would allow, among other things, gravity slides as a use by right in conservation and business zones. It is interesting to note that advertisement of the hearing was delivered to the Rappahannock News at 10 a. m. the morning of the Commission meeting, preceeding the open meeting vote by approximately 11 hours. Reportedly, the Planners met and discussed the proposed amendments at a specially called meeting held Monday. August 14. School Starts Rappahannock public schools will let out at 2 p.m. on Monday, August 28, the first day of the 1978-1979 term. Parents are reminded that school fees can be paid at the elementary scIhhiI on Friday. August 25, from 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. Fees for kindergarten through seventh grade will be $12 with special education fees set at $8.50. Charges do not include workbi>oks which will be available for purchase as needed. Teachers will also be in their classrooms on Friday to meet students and parents and classroom assignments will be posted. Washington Carnival’s This Week Washington, firemen will conduct their annual carnival this week, Aug. 23 through 26 at the carnival grounds east of the town. The usual activities of such a fund raising event will be included in the four nights. After Wednesday's opening, the feature for Thursday is the grand parade beginning at 6:30 p.m. Friday's activity will be the crowning of the queen and on Saturday night the awarding of prizes will be the highlight. The parade will include fire and rescue equipment, marching units, beauty queens, majorettes and all of the interesting things which comprise a parade. Each evening will provide fun and entertainment for all with rides on the midway, good food, concessions and games. The support of the public is anticipated.

Attorney General Rules Exchanges Legal For Land Conveyed Before 1936 A ruling from Virginia Attorney General Marshall Coleman issued at the request of George Beard, Rappahannock’s representative in the General Assembly, supports—at least in part—the contention that park land exchanges are legal under state law. In response to Beard’s inquiry as to whether the United States may exchange land in Shenandoah National Park for privately owned land, Coleman notes in a letter dated August 14 addressed to Beard that the answer “turns on whether the land in question was granted or conveyed to the United States by the Commonwealth after June 26. 1936.” “If title were obtained from another entity than the Commonwealth, I am aware of no legal restriction on its exchange for privately owned land." Coleman states. “Further, there is no restriction concerning land obtained from the Comv monwealth before June 26, 1936." However, the Attorney General continues, if “the land was granted or conveyed to the Commonwealth after June 26, 1936, right and title to such land iml—w mediately reverts to the Commonwealth, when the United States ceases to own it, or use it in accordance with the grant.” Coleman bases his opinion on section 7.1-22A of the Virginia Code which became effective on June 26, 1936. The section reads that “if the United States shall cease to be the owner of any lands, or any part thereof, granted or conveyed to it by the Commonwealth, or if the purposes of any such grant or conveyance to the United States shall cease, or if the United States shall for five consecutive years fail to use any such land for the purposes of the grant or conveyance, then, and in that event, the right and title to such land, or any such part thereof, shall immediately revert to the Commonwealth.” Coleman notes that the General Assembly amended the reversion statute at its 1975 Session to permit exchange of park land for privately owned lands without reversion to the Commonwealth under certain conditions. Coleman also acknowledges that this amendment granting the right ^appalianitnrk 'Xruis Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $5 00 Elsewhere in the U S per year $6 50 Outside the U S per year $5 00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE HLherk t nciosed NAME _J_ ADDRESS _ _ CITY_STATE_ZIP en,e"*d « second .Mss ma.l at the Post Office Wash,tig,ot. u The r.„, pahannork News ,s published every Thursday ai 39 Culpeper Sheet Wane.,,,,,, Va by The Wa.ren,on Pi,h„ng and Publishing Co PO Bo. 631 Wane,,,,,,, v, Modal LFA 7M0 • Porcelain-enameled top and lid • Bac-Pak LaCndry Information Canter • 3 level water-saving loadsize selector • Agitator-mounted fabric softener dispenser ^ • Bleach dispenser • Automatic cool-down for Permt Press fabrics • Super SURGILATOR* agitator 4 cycles: NORMAL.

M7-M6S to equal value exchange was "repealed in its entirety...in 1976.” “Therefore,” he concludes, "if the United States acquired the lands...from the Commonwealth after June 26, 1976, right and title to such lands shall immediately revert to the Commonwealth when the United States ceases to be the owner thereof.” Rappahannock Exchange Beard’s request for a legal opinion from Coleman was occasioned by a Park Service proposal to exchange 405 acres of Shenandoah National Park land in Rappahannock and Warren Counties for private property in Greene County. After four years of negotiations, the Park released word of the land deal in late May, 1978. The subsequent public outciy over the transaction included questions of exchange legality under both state and federal law. ram superintendent Robert Jacobsen announced on July 3 that the Park was abandoning plans for the exchange but emphasized that the action was being taken in response to public opposition, not because the exchange was illegal. In support of Jacobsen’s contention, the Office of the Soliciter of the U. S. Department of the Interior released a legal opinion that held land exchanges like the deal proposed in Rappahannock County were legal under both federal and Virginia law. Acting Associate Solicitor for Conservation and Wildlife David A. Watts cited the passage of the state reversion clause on March 28, 1936—three months after the Commonwealth conveyed the Park property involved in the proposed exchange to the United States. “Whatever impact the 1936 Virginia statute has on conveyances of land to the United States, it applies only to these transfers made after its enactment," he contended. Attorney General Coleman’s ruling agrees with Watts on this point. However, Watts (an employee of the Department of the Interior which oversees administration of the National Park system) went further in his contentions than does Coleman. Park Lands Exempted From 1936 Law According to Watts, the 1936 statute that grants rights of reversion to the state ‘has no effect on conveyances of land by Virginia lo the United States for • Now you can PROTECT your home & valuables FROM BURGLARY and * FIRE with radio-controlled alarms at a reasonable price.

S. without any title restrictions. He also cited “the rule of construction that a specific statute takes precedence over a general one” to back up his argument that land exchanges are legal under Virginia law. Watts noted Ownership Alternatives Park Superintendent Robert Jacobsen, in a letter to the Rappahannock News dated August 21, i acknowledged that the opinion by the Associate Solicitor of the Department of the Interior finds the recently proposed land exchange “legal in all respects.” "It is very clear, during the current General Management Planning process, that attention will be directed toward the solution of the Park’s many boundarycaused problems, and that a number of proposals involving changes in publicprivate ownership will be formulated and arrayed for consideration,” Jacobsen continued. “I will appreciate constructive assistance in this effort.” he added, and Insular Affairs Committee to determine if Watts’s opinion "is in line with their thinking or not” as regards the legality of land exchanges under federal law. According to McGill, Congressman Robinson is in a “holding position” until his staff can research Watts’ assertions on the legislative < history of federal law that Watts maintains land exchanges like the transfer proposed in Rappahannock. s McGill said that Kathy < Pauli, a first-year law student 5 at the University of Virginia ' interning in Robinson’s office • for the summer, has been l working almost full-time on I the land exchange question.

However, he is hopeful that the project will go through as submitted and he’s proceeding on that assumption. Although depfcrttnent-of-eduCafion on building and grounds must approve the modular unit to house the reading lab and its location, Bloomer has told the company—informally—that he would like delivery by September 1. “I can’t officially order it qnttil the. project is approved $it this way, the company can be ready to deliver at a moments notice,” he said. He added that he’s also in the process of soliciting bids on the masonry work required for the modular unit. With all this pre-planning. Bloomer,said he expects to be ready to roll immediately upon receiving approval of the lab project. He’s set a deadline of August 31 “but if I could get the program off and running by the opening of school, I’d be tickled pink,” he concluded. Rezoning (Continued from Page 1) Luke reported that General Assembly subcommittees were currently studying the Dillon Rule and holding public hearings on it across the state. Miller interjected that Rappahannock’s local government had no authority to deny a subdivision rezoning if the landowner was willing to follow ordinance regulations. He added, however, that people who buy Pryde’s rezoned lots :annot redivide their jroperty unless county orlinances are changed. No Expert Witness In reference to a rezoning ought last year by C. L. 3tH>de for a 14-lot, five-acre ubdivision that was denied >y both the Planners and the iupervisors. Miller stated hat the county could not ind an expert witness to go o court who would say “what ve did was correct.” Miller idded that the county's Hisition in the case wouldn't lave been improved if a omprehensive plan had been ireviously adopted. "A :omprehensive plan wouldn’t tave changed anything unless here was also a change in tate enabling legislation,” he naintained. Under current tate law, the only thing rounty government can do is nake developers comply with he provisions of the sublivision ordinance, according 0 Miller. Luke added that levelopers also must abide by egulations in the county's :rosion and sedimentation :ontrol ordinance as well as tate Health Department equirements. Returning to the subject of 1 comprehensive plan, rhairman Barksdale noted hat Albermarle County ladn’t been helped by idoption of a plan. He eported that Albermarle has tad a plan for years and vhen recently faced with a levelopment proposal op posed by local government and citizens alike, couldn't do anything but approve the necessary rezoning. Eventually, said Dr. Quaintance, the whole state of Virginia will be converted into a subdivision. "Unless state enabling legislation is changed," commented Miller. Planner Walter Masterson noted that state courts were now wrestling with the questions of landowner rights versus the rights of communities to control growth—at least to a limited degree. Plans for development often impinge on residents of a community, according to Dr. Quaintance. "I ought to have my rights,” he contended. l nat s wnere common sense takes the back seat" Barksdale remarked. Pryde interjected that he'd divided his property in a manner he felt would protect both himself, as he was planning to live there, and Dr. Quaintance. Noting that his health did not allow him to continue farming, he said his children would sell the property if he died tomorrow—whether the land was subdivided or not. “I’ve done this with a lot of thought,” he said. “I didn't just split it up." “I noticed that the larger lots are adjacent to my property and I appreciate that," Dr. Quaintance responded. He repeated that Pryde had been a good neighbor but added that this was coincidental. “I’m opposed in principle” to subdivision of farm land, he stated. After a discussion on the technicalities of the rezoning—exactly which parcels were involved and how to word the motion—the Planners voted unanimously to recommend approval of Pryde’s rezoning application to the Board of Supervisors.

Main St, Culpeper, Tailgaters No. 2 RICHMOND—Tailgaitersdrivers who folow too closelyniay rank only No. 2 among the most frequent driver’s actions indicated in all Virginia crashes, but it’s apparently not because they don’t “try harder” to rankle the patience of fellow motorists. Not having the right of way and following tin) closely are the two most dangerous of all driver violations indicated with regard to the frequency of accidents, according to the Department of State Police. Most motorists are very much aware that the greater number of fatal accidents are caused by excessive speed, one or more of the drivers involved either exceeding the stated speed limit or traveling too fast for existing conditions. The reason motorists may be more aware of the part excessive speed plays in highway accidents could be because statistics are often reported relative to fatalities. However, the State Police notea toaay mat ine ariver s action which is the most often listed violation in all crashes—including fatal, non-fatal injury and property damage crashes—is that of “not having the right of way." In 1977, this action was listed as being present in 6,028 non-injury crashes, 17,740 property damage crashes, 68 fatal crashes and in 23,836 of the 142,270 total crashes. Following too closely, often referred to as “tailgaiting,” ranks a not-too-distant second in terms of driver's actions indicated for total crashes—16,739. Third and fourth place goes to exceeded stated speed limit (9,977) and exceeded safe speed (8,731), respectively. The later two violations did rank far ahead of any other in regard to being present in 443 of the 998 fatal crashes in 1977. There were 1,145 individuals killed in these crashes. Although ranked no. 2, tailgaiters need not feel overlooked. Complaints indicate that it's the tailgaiter who provokes the greatest wrath from the more courteous highway users. Adding to the difficulty is the fact following too closely is a motor vehicle offense not easily enforced until after the accident. The Code of Virginia, Article 4, Title 46.1213 does not specify the distance to be maintained between two automobiles. It notes that the distance should be “reasonable and prudent, having due regard to the speed of both vehicles and the traffic upon, and conditions of, the highway at the time.” With regard to “motor trucks” and buses, the section is specific in that it states that the driver of either of these vehicles “shall not follow another motor truck or bus within two hundred feet..." It does not indicate, however, these drivers can't follow a car more closely. Complaining motorists, who have managed to avoid a crash despite being “tailgaited,” take little solace in knowing that if they were to be hit from behind, it may be readily apparent that following too closely was the cause of the accident. As to iust what actually constitutes a safe distance between motor vehicles, much has been written about the “Two Second Rule." This means a motorist should leave a space between himself and the car ahead large enough so that he passes a certain point in the road—a sign or something—two seconds after the car ahead. At highway speeds approaching 55 miles per hour (and sarnie motorists obviously drive faster), two seconds may not be a sufficient amount of time, particuarly considering that reaction time is something approaching three-quarters of a second. The more appropriate safe following distance is one car length for every 10 miles per hour. At 55 miles per hour, a driver then has five and a half car lengths between him and the car ahead. However, most tailgailers know when they’re following too closely—they can read the lips of the driver ahead in his rearview mirror.

Despite Survey, Vet School Still Needed A forecast of a nationwide surplus of veterinarians shouldn't stop plans for the new regional college of veterinary medicine in Virginia. Virginia Farm Bureau Federation president Robert B. Delano, who is national vice president for the American Farm Bureau Federation, said plans for the college “are in line with most of the recommendations" attached to a survey conducted for the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). The survey, by Arthur D. Little Inc. Cambridge, Mass., predicted a surplus of 8,300 veterinarians in the United States by 1990. Among its conclusions, tne AVMA survey urged awareness of the expected over-supply, “regionalizing” of schools, and broader interstate agreements. A Virginia-Maryland compact is a component of the regional college developed by VPI&SU, Delano said. “An initial reaction of many was that the report runs counter to the development of the college of veterinary medicine in Virginia.” “Virginia’s needs in veterinary medical education cannot be met by contracts that purchase places for students in veterinary schools outside the state,” Delano said.

C&P Repair Calls Billed To Customer C & P Telephone Company customers who do not recognize a long distance phone number on their monthly bill should contact the telephone company business office. In recent months, because of a “misunderstanding,” some calls made by repairmen to the C & P office in Leesburg have been charged to customers’ phone bills. Bill E. Brown, manager of the C & P business office in Culpeper, said that some repairmen believed that calls to their office or other offices of the phone company were toll free. However, the calls were charged to the customers phone number. “We recently brought this to their (the repairmen’s) attention,” Brown said, “and the men will now call collect when reporting in to the office or checking a line.” Brown encourages any customers who have questions about any long distance calls on their bill to call the business office.

THURSDAY, AUGUST 24,1978 School, Health And Safety School days are here again for Rappahannock youngsters and parents need to be reminded that there are health and safety considerations that are important in preparing their children for another nine months of studies. According to the American Medical Medical Association, five and six-yearolds entering school for the first time need a thorough health examination. The family doctor will know what to do. His examination will cover all aspects of the child’s health and will include hearing to make certain the child can hear the teacher and vision to make sure he can see the blackboard. The doctor will also give any booster immunizations that might be required. To enter Rappahannock schools, children are required to be immunized against polio, diptheria-whooping cough-tetanus (DPT), Rubeola (red) measles and Rubella (German) measles and small pox unless contraindicated by a physician. All of the required shots are available from public health nurse Frances Thornton at the county Health Department in Washington. The AMA recommends a child getting four or five thorough health examinations during the school years. I These are usually spaced at the start of the first year, about the fourth grade, about the seventh grade, at the ninth or tenth grade and open graduation. A trip to the dentist office for a checkup there is also important and should be a part of the yearly get-ready-forschool ritual. In the excitement of the first days of school, the small child in particular may forget all the safety warnings he’s been taught. Qiildren need to be reminded to exercise caution in crossing streets at bus stops. Although state law requires all drivers to stop for school buses, some forget or ignor the regulations in their rush to get to work, home or an appointment on time. Children—from the tiniest kindergartener to the towering high school senior—should know the proper department on the school bus. Drivers can’t give their full attention to the road when there are 30 screaming, bouncing kids behind them. Schools everywhere are faced with declining academic achievement, with kids who aren’t learning. By seeing that their child receives a thorough health examination, a parent can at least ensure that their son or daughter is in the best possible physical condition to receive an education. Don’t Adopt Wildlife Babies A baby raccoon looks like the perfect pet to a child. The temptation to carry the animal home is often too great to resist. But wildlife babies do not make good pets, according to a new publication from the National Wildlife Federation. "Let It Be—Wild and Free" is a 12-page pamphlet available free of charge for the first copy and 25 cents for each additional copy. It is designed to teach children what to do if they find an apparently orphaned baby animal. The four-color pamphlet points out that while a wildlife pet can be cute and cuddly as a baby, the animal can grow up to be destructive and even dangerous. Catching and keeping a wild pet can also be a violation ol wildlife conservation laws. What should a child do if he or she discovers an abandoned or injured baby bird? The pamphlet answers that question in detail, outlining ways to repair broken wings and legs, how to keep birds warm, and what to feed them. But, the pamphlets concludes, ‘'Nobtxly is as good a parent to a baby bird as the parent birds themselves." For copies of “Let It Be—Wild and Free” write the National Wildlife Federation. Dept.

Always Show Medicare Card All people who are protected under Medicare hospital insurance or Medical insurance, or both, should always show their Medicare cards whenever they receive care or services covered under this health insurance program, Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper said recently. It is very important that the card be shown and the information taken from it and recorded properly. This way. chances of error are reduced so that the claims may be paid promptly. Errors made in recording the name or Medicare number can result in payment delays, Hundley said. GCV Rose Show Scheduled The 42nd annual rose show of the Garden Club of Virginia will be held Oct. 4 and 5 at the Williamsburg Lodge conference center. The Williamsburg Garden Club and the American Rose Society are sponsors for the event. More information and advance registration may be made with Mrs. Gardiner T. Brooks Jr., Box GT, Williamsburg 23185, telephone 804-642-6319. Registration must be made by Sept. 21. People who have lost or misplaced their copy of the booklet can get a replacement copy at the Culpeper social security office located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 825-3500. People should carry their Medicare card with them because a person can never tell when he or she will need a service covered by Medicare. Anyone who has lost or misplaced his or her Medicare card can get a replacement by contacting any social security office. Plastic or metal Medicare cards are sold by some companies, Hundley said. But these are not recognized replacements for the official card issued by social security. ^Detailed information about thti care and services covered by Medicare can be found in the booklet, "Your Medicare Handbook," which is mailed to people who have this protection. Skyline Sports Skyline District Regulations and Policies are in effect at R.C.H.S., which is a member school.

Tickets will be offered on a pressale basis on the day of the game. Presale prices will be SI.00 for students and children and $2.00 for adults. Student presale tickets will offer a discount while adult presale tickets will not. Purchase of a presale ticket will insure the ticket holder admission to the game even in the event of a sell out. Tickets may also be purchased at the gate until the seating capacity has been filled. No one will be allowed to enter a “sold out” game unless he-she has a presale ticket or special athletic pass. i Our Rappahannock Heritage Seniors Protest Utility Rates By Truman Keesey Rappahannock !Vw* Correspondent ^ The Rappahannock ' Council of Senior Citizens 1 directed attention to rising 1 utility rates at the Seniors’ 1 meeting last Tuesday, August 15, at the Trinity Episcopal Church parish hall in Washington. The Council passed resolutions opposing Potomac Edison’s request for more than S2 million in rate increases, noting that the utility company has received more than $3,600,000 in increases over the past three years. The Council members also urged repeal of all utility surcharges and registered opposition to the deregulation of natural gas. With regard to natural gas, it was pointed out that the Congressman who represents this district in the U. S. House of Representatives, J. Kenneth Robinson, twice voted for higher natural gas prices and higher oil prices. According to "Voting Record,” a newsletter released by the National Council of Senior Citizens, the Congressman has tailed to vote for measures that would benefit senior citizens The Rappahannock Senior Citizen Council also adopted three resolutions for the September 9 constitutional convention to be held in Richmond calling for: 1) closer working relationships with organized farmers; 2) conservation of energy and acceleration of research programs on alternate energy sources; 3) protection of the state's natural beauty and an end to pollution of Virginia’s waters and air. Finally, the Council went on record in favor of "lifeline utility rates" for senior citizens in Virginia. Rescue The Sperryville Rescue Squad responded to an accident on Rt. 211 east of Sperryville August 11. They carried Manley Durner of Fredericksburg to Culpeper Memorial Hospital. August 22, the Flint Hill Fire Dept, fought a car fire on Rt. 522 north of Flint Hill. Washington Rescue Squad responded to a traffic crash August 13 on Route 522 at Huntly and took Charles Jenkins to Warren Memorial Hospital, Front Royal. He was dead on arrival. August 18 C. J. Miller was taken by this unit from his home in Washington to the same hospital where he remains. August 18, Washington and Amissville fire units were alerted to a roadside brush fire in the Amissville area which apparently was a false alarm. In reference to all utilities, he Council members agreed hat the public should know he sources of income, letailed expenditures, rorporate salary structures ind rate of return before any ate increases are granted, rhey also contended that the public should have a greater mice in decisions on utility -ates. The Council members agreed that they would like to spark a crusade in Virginia against runaway utilities. By transmitting all action taken the Rappahannock meetings to the Executive Committee of the Virginia Council of Senior Citizen sessions in Richmond, the county Council hopes to initiate action by the state organization and other affiliated groups. In response to a request for information from Rappahannock Council president Truman J. Keesey, Bernard L. Henderson, assistant to the Commissioners of the State Corporation Commission, offered to attend a meeting in the county to explain how the SCC regulates utilities. “I applaud the interest of your organization in learning about utilities and wish that more citizens would approach our present problem of soaring utility rates with a desire to learn," stated Henderson. The Council voted to invite Henderson to attend a community-wide meeting that will be scheduled for early fall. Germanna Will Offer Course In Accounting Germanna Community Zollege in cooperation with he Fredericksburg area Life Insurance Underwriters Association will be offering a ourse in accounting and finance starting this fall.

From Both Barrels Republicans Hope To Widen Power By GEORGE BOWLES Rappahannock New* Correspondent Virginia Republicans confidently hope to expand their congressional holdings in the November elections, and they are hungrily eyeing two Northern Virginia districts as ripe for “redemption.” They regard liberal Democrat Herbert E. Harris II of the Eighth District as especially vulnerable. They BOWLES also oeneve mcy iutvc o iau shot at Joseph L. Fisher in the 10th although he is more conservative than Harris, and faces less formidable opposition. Political attention in the state has been largely focused on the senatorial race in recent weeks, and the fact that all the congressional seats are up for election this year has been somewhat submerged by events. Parenthetically, also on the ballot will be two statewide referendum questions. One of these will deal with a proposed constitutional amendment providing for certain property tax exemptions; the other with the approval or disapproval of parimutuel betting. In addition, voters in the 28th Senatorial District and the 9th House District face special elections to fill vacant General Assembly seats. In the congressional races, four incumbents will have free rides. G. William Whitehurst (R-Setfond District), Robert W. (Bob) Daniel (R-Fourth), W. C. (Dan) Daniel (D-Fifth) and M.^Caldwell Butler (R-Sixth) are without opposition. David E. Satterfield 111 (DThird) is also assured of reelection. His opponent is Independent Allen R. Ogden of the U. S. Labor Party. The opposition is regarded as token. In the cases of Whitehurst, Bob Daniel and Butler, local Democrats were unable to come up with candidates willing to mount a challenge. In those of Dan Daniel and Satterfield, two of the most conservative members of the United Stales Congress, the Republicans saw no point in contesting their reelection. It would have been impossible to find more conservative candidates within the responsible range of the political spectrum to oppose them, and it would have run wildly against the grain of the current GOP image to challenge them with moderate or liberal Republicans. In three other seats, the GOP incumbents face more serious challenges, although the Republicans are heavily favored to win reelection. In the First District, Rep. Paul S. Trible is opposed by Lewis B. Puller of Hampton. Puller, a courageous and articulate candidate, is making his first bid for elective office. He is the son of the late Marine Gen. “Chesty” Puller. The younger Puller 'ifc himself a highly decorated veteran of the Vietnam War during which he was severely wounded by a landmine which left him a tripleamputee. Flckett Chances Slim Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson of the Seventh District is challenged by Del. Lewis P. Fickett of Fredericksburg. Fickett is in his second term as a member of the House and is regarded as a moderate liberal. He is a professor at Mary Washington College and is conducting an aggressive campaign. In the rural and strongly conservative Seventh, however, his chances of success are considered slim. Ninth District Rep. William C. Wampler is being opposed by C. Champ Oark of Chilhowie. Clark, a businessman and farmer, has long been active in area Democratic politics. Although a colorful and wellknown campaigner, local observers give him little chance of unhorsing Wampler. In the remaining two districts. Northern Virginia's Eighth and 10th, the Republicans have high hopes of recovering at least one seat. Both were lost in the post-Watergate elections of 1974. Fisher of the 10th defeated 11-term Rep. Joel Broyhill and Harris of the Eighth ousted freshman Rep. Stanford Parris. This year, Fisher is opposed by Frank R. Wolf, a Falls Church attorney. Wolf is making his second bid for public office, having run for congress in the Republican primary in 1976. He was defeated by Del. Vincent F. Callahan who was, in turn, defeated by the incumbent Fisher in the general election. Nevertheless, the race in the 10th is considered extremely close, with spokesmen for each candidate insisting his man is "in good shape.” Harrii In Danger The Democratic seat in the Eighth District is in by far the greatest danger. Democrat Herb Harris is being challenged by Republican John F. (Jack) Herrity of Springfield, chairman of the Fairfax Board of Supervisors. Herrity has been on the board for seven years and its chairman for three. Washington Volunteer Approve Ambulance Everyone’s on (he lookout for a super bargain but few people are lucky enough to find the real thing. The Washington Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad members were fortunate to stumble on a bonanza this week and like all good bargain hunters, they snapped it right up. Now, they need a little help from the community to pay the bill. Since the company's rescue ambulance broke down, squad members have been using a vehicle that the Warrenton Rescue organization was generous enough to lend. At Monday’s squad meeting, Lt. Ron Hawkins reported that the folks in Warrenton were willing to sell the vehicle Washington had on loan at the cut-rate price of $2,000. The Squad voted to accept the deal but only had $500 to put down on the ambulance so Warrenton agreed to take that as initial payment with the balance of $1,500 due in 120 days. According to Lt. Hawkins, the vehicle was made specifically to run as an ambulance instead of being the kind of converted truck remodeled for rescue purposes that small squads often have to settle for. The ambulance was purchased new by Warrenton in 1972'and has been used as an emergency transport vehicle only. It is a Chevrolet Carryall ambulance with air conditioning, power steering, power brakes and a 400 cubic inch engine. The vehicle is made to carry two patients and is equipped with a radio, an oxygen system, first aid kit and supplies including bandages, ointments, gels and antiseptics. The sale price also covers an orthopedic stretcher for patients with back injuries designed with a scoop on cither side that locks in back at the head and feet so patients can be picked up onto the stretcher without movement. As over 70 per cent of the Washington Company’s calls involve emergency rescue service, acquisition of the new vehicle will enable the squad to better serve the community, according to Bradford Fisher, acting captain. Rescue personnel will soon begin canvassing the Hampton ' District area for contributions to cover the SI.500 still due on the vehicle. Donations can be mailed to Ellen Manson, Washington Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue Squad T reasurer, Washington. Va. 22747. "The support of the public will be greatly appreciated," said Fisher.

Ron Hawkins displays a backboard used on the Warren ton VRS ambulance that has been on loan to the Washington Squad to Randy Smith, a squadsman with Amissville Rescue. t

Soil Deficiency Shows In Analysis About this time of year, farmers may be experiencing problems with poorly growing areas in their corn fields, said Stephen J. Donohue, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in soil and plant analysis. “This may result from a nutritional imbalance in the soil." Donohue said one of the best and most direct approaches in isolating the problem is plant tissue analysis. While plant analysis is usually more difficult to interpret than a soil test, one will generally be able to isolate a specific nutritional problem more quickly using plant analysis. “When using plant analysis it is necessary to sample the proper plant part and to sample at the recommended stage of r growth for correct interpretation,” said the specialist. The whole plant above the surface of the soil should be collected if the corn is less than 12 inches tall. If the corn is higher than 12 inches, but not yet tasselled, the leaf immediately below the whorl should be sampled. If the corn is at silking, the leaf immediately below the ear should be sampled. Donohue said that since weather conditions may cause several nutrients to show deficient, it is best to sample both normal .and affected areas for comparison. The comparison will make the deficient nutrient easier to identify.

If a trace element deficiency is spotted early enough in the growing season, one can apply a foliar application of the trace element to prevent further crop loss and follow after harvest with a more lasting soil application for the next crop. If the problem is a lack of one of the major nutrients or low pH, applying fertilizer or lime now may not solve the problem because it takes some time for these elements to become available in the soil. For further information on plant issue analysis and corrective action for problems in corn, contact your local Extension agent, Donohue advised. County “Vulnerable” Without Plan If Rappahannock and other Virginia counties don’t have a comprehensive plan by July 1, 1980, the Commonwealth won’t react violently but a community without a plan could be in an uncomfortable position, according to assistant attorney general Mason T. Jacks in remarks he made at the Virginia Airport Land Use Planning seminar at Virginia Tech on Wednesday. “Big Brother in Richmond is not going to come hit you on your head and take away your money if you don’t have a master plan,” he said, “but if a community’s land-use decision is contested in court, that community would be in a very vulnerable position. The community’s decision may well be overturned because it didn’t have a master plan.” Jacks response came in a question and answer session after a talk on the legal aspects of land use. He said the General Assembly passed a law in 1975 making it mandatory for communities to adapt a master plan for land use, but that many communities were not complying. “The master plan would create a harmonious pattern of development, but it doesn’t have the force of statutory law. It’s a guide, not law.” DR. WILLIAM BLOOMER and Dr. Robert Me Daniel held a meeting Tuesday with the faculties of the Rappahannock Schools as the fall session opens. Farm Lobbyists Tally A Victory Virginia farmers lobbying in Washington last week tallied two victories and one disappointment. A victory came when Congressman William Wampler of Virginia’s 9th Congressional District, Virginia’s lone representative on the House Agriculture Committee, gave "full support” to American Agriculture Movement’s (AAM’s) effort to ob.ain from the Congress and the Administration action on the serious income situation continuing to face American farmers. Wampler further agreed to co-sponsor an AAM-backed joint resolution to set commodity loan rates at 90 per cent of parity if AAM leaders in Washington obtained agreement from House Speaker Tip O’Neill to bring this matter to the House floor before the end of the session. AAM farmers made clear to the congressmen with whom they spoke that the continuing effort to improve farm income through revision of governmental policies should be among the Congress’s highest priorities. • V.W.

The notable disappointment of the week came when Congressman Robert Daniel of the 4th Congressional District refused the request of constituent farmers to support the House Joint Resolution. This resolution represented the farmer's effort to keep the agriculture income issue alive in the waning days of the Congress session. Dinwiddie County AAM spokesman Billy Bain said that in spite of some signs of marginal commodity price increases during the early summer, “We are now looking at prices as low as and possibly even lower than last year if presently projected crop surpluses do result.” WE’VE GOT TO MAKE ROOI s omi mod*/* •/», limited, to hurry to— PIEDMON Chevrolet Year-End Clearance With the all New 79 models due THIS MEANS INFLATION..

Main St. Culpopar wP 825*2161 He said many communities made their master plan to satisfy the state requirements and then ignored it. Local governments feel some resentment at having to make a master plan because they feel they get “all the responsibility and no authority,” Jacks said. But the same communities would not be happy if the state took responsibility for land use. “Most localities already are jealous of their authority. They don’t want to lose any more of it to the state,” he said. But the state is becoming more and more involved in local land-use planning. “Most of the law regarding urban planning is implemented at the local level, but the state is becoming increasingly involved in policy setting for land-use planning and legislation,” he said. Adjoining communities often choose land-use policies that cause conflict between them, and state planning could avoid this. But Jacks said he thought that the state would continue in the background. “With the present system each locality can tailor its land-use process to its own problems. We need to get as much citizen input as possible.” But whatever the method, communities should take serious steps to plan ahead their land-use policies, he said. “Increased regulation of the use of land is going to be necessary," he said. “Land is not a private economic resource to be developed for profit. It's our most limited and most basic natural resource.” Less State Interference Attorney General Marshall Coleman a featured speaker at the seminar spoke out against increasing state involvement in local land use issues. “I for one support minimal government interference with an individual’s use of his own land. The government shouldn’t be involved if what a landowner does has no effect on adjacent land," Coleman said. And when government intervention is necessary, it should be, as much as possible, local government intervention, he said. "County government should be involved—we need to get closer to the people. Too often so many rules, regulations and red tape is produced that it prevents the public from solving its problems.” In addition to criticizing state involvement in local land use issues, Coleman also raised the spector of the federal government extending a long arm over land use planning, a responsibility many localities are taking on somewhat reluctantly, according to the Attorney General. Increasing federal government intervention should be a concern to every state resident and inaction “is as good as an invitation" for federal intervention, Coleman said. Coastal areas in Virginia have been the site of federal land-use restrictions already, he said, and such control could gradually increase. "I hope we will not see the federal government move inward from the Tidewater area to the Piedmont and our mountains, taking away our use of our own land.” Coleman maintained that Virginia’s growth had brought a conflict between the dwindling supply of land and the increasing demand for it that could not be ignored. Some changes have to be made, he insisted. “There’s a tendency in the halls of government to avoid change,” Coleman said. “If something is not working well, but is not necessary to change, government won’t change it.” Changes should be made when necessary he said, and more careful planning of land-use is a needed change. “Growth must be part of an orderly process, and I think the citizens of the Commonwealth are becoming increasingly concerned over land-use. We have to be concerned to insure environmental protection and economic growth.” Jenkins Reunion A reunion for the family and friends of the late Luther E. and Ada F.

Man’s Creating Conditions That Once Killed Dinosaur Modern man is creating environmental conditions similar to those which killed the dinosaurs some 60 million years ago, a Virginia Tech scientist believes. Dewey M. McLean, a Tech geology professor at Blacksburg, contends in an article in this month’s Science magazine that a sudden warming trend during the late Mesozoic era led to the demise of the giant reptiles. He cites evidence that increased carbon dioxide in 'he air created a warming 'rend or “greenhouse effect” which led to the dinosaurs’ extinct ion. Man is causing a similar warming effect today by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas, McLean says. He believes a temperature increase of only 6 degrees Celsius during the Wool Producers Vote On Checkoff Wool and lamb producers will vote from now through Sept. 1 in a referendum to decide if they approve of a new agreement between the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the American Sheep Producers Council Inc. (ASPC). Frances P. Gilbert, executive director of Fauquier-Prince William County ASCS office, says. ASPC conducts wool and lamb market expansion programs under the authority of the National Wool Act of 1954. Officials of USDA’s Agricultural Marketing Service said the Agreement provides for USDA to withhold part of any wool incentive payments that might be made to producers "ti 1978-81 marketings to finance ASPC’s activities. Deductions would be used by ASPC to finance advertising and sales promotion programs for wool and lamb, and programs to develop and disseminate information on product quality, production management and marketing for wool and sheep. next century or two "could trigger worldwide extinctions.” Although man probably would not be harmed directly by the warmer temperatures, McLean says the increase is likely to cause sterility in numerous other species of animals. He notes that other scientists have pointed to the danger of major climactic changes, melting of the polar ice cap, and coastal flooding if the “greenhouse effect” continues. Differs Fran Others McLean's new theory about dinosaur extinction runs counter to most recent thinking on the subject which holds that a general cooling trend ended the reign of the big animals. But McLean notes that larger animals adapt to cooling conditions better than to warming trends because they tend to conserve their body heat. He adds that smaller reptiles, such as alligators, turtles and snakes survived the “time of great dying." He cites recent studies of ocean floor sediments that indicate a sudden warming trend at the end of the Mesozoic era, about 60 million years ago. The rising temperatures coincided with what McLeans calls “catastropic extinctions at the end of the Mesozoic. It all happened in a million years or less, which to a geologist is a very short time.” But what caused the earth to become warmer after temperatures had been declin*ng for some 20 million years? McLean believes extinctions of several species of plankton (tiny ocean plants) caused a reduction of the photosynthesis process by which plants consume carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and produce oxygen. Carbon dioxide allows incoming solar radiation to pass through, but traps part of the warm infrared energy radiated from the earth. The more carbon dioxide there is in the earth's atmosphere. the warmer the earth’s surface and climate. Carbon Dioxide Factor McLean believes this “greenhouse effect” caused the oceans to become warm* er. Warmer water released more dissolved carbon dioxide, creating a chain reaction of warming conditions. McLean says temperatures during the age of dinosaurs were warmer than they are today, marked by gradual cooling and warming trends. The extinctions occurred when a period of gradual cooling was interrupted by abrupt warming. Even then, he says it is unlikely temperatures increased more than a few degrees, because there were no widespread extinctions in the plant kingdom. McLean’s is the latest of numerous theories on the extinction of dinosaurs. One early idea was that the creatures became so large that they had difficulty in mating. A more recent theory holds that the dinosaurs died because of a shower of radiation from an exploding si ar. Another view was that the spread of flowering plants subjected the big reptiles to an onslaught of pollen, which led to respiratory problems. +++ A retentive memory is a good thing, but the ability to forget is the true token of greatness. —Hubbard Perform a de&th-defyiA( act. if iwtmUht Give Heart Fund American Haart AaaoclalionVj/ —Rappahannock Nana Photo/John Tolar AWAITING HARVESTIME, a barn near Flint Hill. 4 Old Dominion Mfg.

Main St, New Market low-cost, individua suggestions for merchant! interested in improving th< looks of their store-fronts, in the belief that small details can add up to a large improvement. In conjunction with the manual, PEC is offering a free design service to storeowners interested in applying the ideas in the book to their individual storefronts. Through this service, merchants can get assistance in deciding how to attract customers in terms of a building’s appearance. Although some improvement schemes may require further professional design advice, PEC’s service can help storeowners figure out a program of priorities for upgrading the visual quality of Main Street. The book describes some of the visual principles which have been applied traditionally to beautiful architecture. Some of the buildings in Piedmont towns are old and historic; many ar; attractive structures. The manual stresses that are for the visual beauty of these buildings is important for the continued success of small commercial downtowns faced with increasing competition from outlying shopping centers. The architectural elements and details found on buildings in Piedmont downtowns are defined to help merchants look at their buildings and determine what makes them attractive. A long section is devoted to identifying and suggesting solutions for the most typical problems found in buildings on Main Street. Such things as signs, appropriate materials, maintenance, and paint schemes are examples of the problems discussed. Main Street Manual deals with more costly downtown improvements which require cooperation by merchants, local government, and citizens. How to cope with parking and traffic circulation, landscaping of the downtown area, and lights and wires are some of the issues addressed. The Main Street Manual is available at the PEC office at 28-C Main Street in Warrenton. ++++ In the 18th century a Russian scientist declared, "Siberia will make Russia strong.’’ His prediction appears to be coming true as the Soviet Union exploits that vast region’s mineral riches.

The stars are shining brightly upon a lovely grave; In it lies our loved one whom we loved so dearly. But could not save. If you never lost a loved one who was so dear to you; If you never felt the pain and heartache. Then I pray you never will. For when Jesus takes a loved one. He takes a part of you. Oh, l wish that we could say, "I'll go and visit him today," So I could see his precious smile and sit and talk with him awhile. Although his place is vacant in our hearts and in our homes. His voice is still and his footsteps gone and we are so alone, But l know that he is resting in heaven. So sleep on dear one and take your rest, God called you home for He knew best. He saw you suffering here on earth. So he opened wide the golden gate. —Sadly missed by wife, children and grandchildren 21 + pd BEST CHESAPEAKE BAY FISHING with shortest run on boats "Mar chelle" and "Lady B " 804 453 4554. 21 + instructs# J INSTRUCTION: Fall series of afterschool instructional classes for children ages 6 and up in stone work, art and karate.
