C 29th YEAR, No. 35 vrnar:rA state lispary RICIiMOMD 19*; VA* 23219 The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 Washington, Virginia O SEP ? -> -i-L-*—* rfTZ20'1 8 Pages THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,1978 Phone 675-3349 Liquor By The Drink May Come To A Vote It s down to the wire for liquor by the drink in Rappahannock. Petitions calling for a referendum on the issue to be placed on ballots in the November election need approximately 150 more signatures by 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 7. State law stipulates that liquor by the drink may be placed before the public for a yes or no vote if signatures equal to 15 per cent of the number of persons who voted in the last presidential election can be gathered. The number of names on petitions circulating through the county stood at ISO by Tuesday evening. Since 1,981 registered voters cast ballots in the 1976 Ford -Carter contest, almost double the number of current petition signers are needed. Patrick O'Connell and Reinhardt Lynch, proprietors of The Inn at Little Washington, have been instrumental in organizing the petition drive. Both, however, in promoting the referendum, have emphasized that signing the petitions in no way obligates anyone to cast a ballot for liquor by the drink. “It only means that you wish to have the opportunity to vote on the issue," stressed Lynch. Should the question make the November ballot and should voters approve the issue, it won’t automatically allow county restaurants to serve mixed beverages. Before a liquor license is granted by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, interested restaurants must file an application, including photographs of the establishment and a copy of the menu. ABC Board investigators then conduct a background investigation of the owners. Any restaurant receiving a license to serve cocktails must first have a minimum seating capacity of 50 and must show food sales of at least $3,000 per month of which 50 per cent has to be in the form of meals. The ABC Board also takes into consideration the number of employees in the establishment and the hours that it is opened. O’Connell and Lynch intend to apply for a liquor license for The Inn if the referendum passes on the November ballot. The owner of the Hampton Inn, located on Route 211 between Washington and Sperryville, has also indicated that she would seek a license. Nestor Samson, proprietor of The Teepee in Sperryville, is undecided while Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Bradford, operators of Bradford's Restaurant in Flint Hill will not apply. “I wouldn’t have it if I could,” said Mrs. Bradford. "I'm not against it. We’re just too small. We don't have enough seating capacity. If we had a big restaurant, yes, we would try to get a license,” she added. Petitions asking for liquor by the drink to be placed on the November ballots are scattered throughout the county. Interested persons can sign at the Corner Store in Sperryville; the Cash Store, Rappahannock News office. The Inn and the court house bulletin board in Washington; Hackleys Store in Amissville and the Rappahannock Tack Shop in Flint Hill. Signers need to show up early since the petitions will be picked up and taken to the courthouse between 3 and 3:30 p.m. in order to meet the 4:30 deadline. Hearing On Education Aid Formula Set Rappahannock citizens who are concerned with what they see as inequities in the state formula for funding education will have the opportunity to state their views on September 14 at a public hearing in Richmond. At its 1978 session, the General Assembly created the Public School Finance Study Commission to examine state funding of public elementary and secondary education. According to a recent press release, the Commission is now attempting to evaluate the formula for allocating state basic aid and categorical aid among school divisions and has scheduled the public hearing to receive ‘views, comments, criticisms or appraisals” of the formula. Topics expected to be addressed include determination of the basic operation cost, computation of local ability to pay. computation of special education and vocational education payments and other categorical aid. Critics of the state funding formula have charged that it adversely impacts Rappahannock because land values in the county are exceptionally high for an area without significant industry or commerce. Land values are a major factor in determining the amount of money that a locality receives from the state for education, as the state aid to education formula is based 50 percent on land values. 40 percent on per capita income and 10 percent on sales tax revenues. When the county's school population is compared to land values, it shows an inordinate amount of money available per child, resulting in a fifth-place ranking for Rappahannock out of 95 Virginia counties in ability to pay for education. The School Finance Study Commission will hold its public hearing on September 14 at 10 a.m. in Senate Room A of the General Assembly Building, 910 Capitol Street, Richmond. At least one written copy of each person's statement to the Commission is requested. Interested persons who are unable to attend the public hearing may send comments to the Public School Finance Study Commission. P.O. Box 3-AG. Richmond, Virginia 23208. It’s Foot Stompin’ Time In Rappahannock It may not be the Grand Ol' Opry or even Lake Whippoorwill's country music contest, but the live entertainment planned for the Rappahannock Recreation Association's fund raising chicken barbeque promises to set fingers snapping and toes tapping. Country music bands will perform from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sunday, September 10, at the Recreation Center on Route 211 opposite the town of Washington. Headliners are the Beaver Dam Band, the Foster Brothers and the Okays—all local groups. Admission to enjoy the music will be $1 with proceeds going towards construction of an all-purpose court and other projects at the Rec Center. For $3.50, hungry country music listeners can feast on barbequed chicken, baked beans, cole slaw and rolls from I to 3 p.m. Organizers have dinners for 350 people so it may be wise to get to the Center early because it's first come, first eat. Tickets will be sold at the grounds only. In addition to an appetite for music and chicken, spectators are urged to bring blankets and chairs so they can comfortably enjoy the entertainment and wait to hear if they are among the lucky winners of 44 prizes including SI00 in cash.

Restoration Association Honored Mount Salem Church Restoration Association is the recipient of the Rap pahannock League for Environmental Protection • first award for community excellence. The honor was bestowed on the Association in recognition of its effective work in preserving and restoring the oldest church building in Rappahannock County, according to RLFP president Phil Irwin. Built in the first quarter of the last century. Mt. Salem Baptist Church served as a house of worship and community meeting hall lor 125 years, before a dwindling congregation forced its closure. Vandals speeded the natural processes .if deterioration. In 1976, as part of Rappahannock's Bi-Centennial observation. an interdenominational association was formed to restore the old building on Route 626 south of Washington. After just two years, Mt. Salem again enjoys the quiet dignity it once knew. The interior has been repaired, replastered and repainted; the floor sanded; new windows and shutters installed; the roof waterproofed; and the original pews located and returned. The grounds have been cleared and landscaped, and a parking lot added to accommodate worshippers at the regular Sunday afternoon services held at 3 p.m. In granting its first community excellence award. — Rappahannock Nfw» Photo D.

No Action Taken On Zoning Laws By MEMORY PORTER Rantmhannorfc Nrw* Sp»-ci*J W riter The Rappahannock Planning Commission took no action after a public hearing on August 31 on proposed changes to the county zoning ordinances aimed at permitting the Rappahannock Ski Corporation to re-open the ski area at the Harris Hollow property just outside Washington, and to install the snowless sled ride called the Alpine Slide. A second public hearing on the zoning amendments, this time before the Board of Supervisors, is scheduled for ten o'clock, Thursday, September 7 at the courthouse. The Planning Commission public hearing was slow getting started as Chairman Herbert Barksdale waited for a quorum. Public turnout was light compared to the packed courthouse earlier in the year when the county's Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) heard testimony for and against granting a special use permit for the skiing and Alpine Slide operations. (The special use permit was denied by the BZA on February 9, 1978). The proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance would give to any land zoned as Conservation-Recreation Districts or Business District the right to put in outdoor recreation development, profit or non-profit, ‘‘in<eluding, but not limited to skiing, swimming pools, tennis courts and gravity slides.” The ConservationRecreation District consists of all land areas in Rappahannock having slopes in excess of 14 per cent. Local attorney Douglas Baumgardner representing the Ski Corporation described his role in drafting the proposed zoning changes as an attempt to clarify the zoning ordinance as to what ‘‘uses by right the Rappahannock Supervisors intended to confer to the ski corporation's property;-' the amendments include all the uses sought in the denied special use permit. Baumgardner insisted the proposed amendments were not a circumvention of the current litigation. ‘‘Any landowner or person in the county can move to amend the zoning ordinance," he told the Planners. The Rappahannock Ski Corporation filed suit against the BZA after the special use permit was denied and subsequently the Board of Supervisors intervened in the legal action against the BZA. he explained. "It is the Board’s intent to confer to the ski corporation the right to use the land for all uses sought in the special use permit." he added. "It is inconceivable that given the terrain" on the ski area property that the Business District zone would {term it sixteen business uses by right yet for skiing require the Ski Corporation to go through the problems of getting a special use permit. He stressed that skiing was permitted for almost ten years before the ordinances were originally adopted. Blanket Zoning Opponents to the Alpine Slide did not agree with proposed amendments Dr. Werner Krebser told the Planners that the new wording would give “blanket zoning rights not just to Moore (owner of ihe Ski Corporation), but wouid give blanket rights to bulldoze down other areas in the county." Tennis courts and swimming pools need Hat land, he argued. "I don't see why this county, to accommodate the ski area, is willing to jeopardize in the future other areas in the county." Referring to the Supervisors' action on August 2 to grant the Ski Corporation the necessary building permits. Krebser questioned the need for the zoning changes. "He's ((Moore) got a building permit. Why doesn’t he start building? Either he has no legal right, or the B7.A battle has not yet been settled." Echoing Krebser's sen timents. Nels Parsons asked if the general public is entitled to know what is going on. "Is there a good logical reason for these amendments?" he asked. "Simply to clarify the purpose and intent of the Board of Supervisors when the zoning ordinances were originally adopted." replied (Continued on Page 2) |*hi.|.. n | athan use"take a — KM|>|Mihann«M k V ..

Benefit Polo Match Rescheduled Thanks to the cooperation of the Castleton Volunteer Fire Company, the Rappahannock historical Society benefit polo match will be held Sunday. September 17, on Fannon Field at 4 p.m. The benefit match was originally scheduled for late August but almost steady rain for two weeks left the field too soggy and forced cancellation. Castleton's firemen had planned to hold their fund raising supper on September 17 but agreed to give the date up to the Historical Society when it proved to be the only feasible time for the rescheduled polo game. The firemen will have booths set up at Fannon Field with proceeds going towards their operations. On September 17, Bill Fannon’s Rappahannock team will play opponents from Potomac, Maryland, in an eight-goal tournament game. Admission is SI and a barbequed chicken dinner with cole slaw, baked beans, rolls and dessert will be served for $3. Tickets can be purchased at Fannon Field or from Diane Bruce, Mary Frances Fannon, Mary Quaintance, Sally Sharp, Roberta .Anderson and Jaunda Rodgers.

Planners Take No Action On Amendments (Continued from Page 1) Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis." since there is a misunderstanding in the interpretation of recreation uses permitted in the Conservation District." Parsons doubted if the original purpose was to allow gravity slides to be placed anywhere in the county. "This is one way to avoid" expensive litigation, he noted, "by caving in to allow the Alpine Slide to go ahead, but I would think the building permit is enough, if we have to give in on one thing." He said he was "most reluctant for the entire county to be made vulnerable.” Judge Requested Clarification Col. E. P. Luke. Chairman of the Board of Supervisors who also serves on the Planning Commission explained the Supervisors' role in the proposed zoning changes. ‘‘There was a question in the judge's (Carlton Penn) mind on the word recreation" in the zoning ordinance. Luke stated. The judge had indicated verbally he wanted clarifying amendments. Luke WANTED SCRAP CAST IRON PRICES DETERMINED BY QUANTITIES & QUALITY Delivered to our yard in Culpeper.

M7-8666 said, adding that he was "uptight” about doing anything until the judge’s concerns were put in writing, alluding to how things can be misinterpreted. Planner Newbill Miller disagreed that the new definitions for recreational uses were broader. "The county is in a stronger position with this clarification than with the existing ordinance,” Miller insisted. Currently the ordinance does not define recreation he noted. "Outdoor recreation" is more restrictive, he said. “I have not panicked because of the lawsuit and I appreciate Moore’s support for strengthening the ordinance." Miller stated. Parsons concurred that the word "outdoor" limited the definition of recreation. "I remain concerned, however, that it opens the door for almost anything on steep slopes and that it is at odds with the intent of the zoning ordinance to protect the rugged steep terrain" in the Conservation zone. Limitations Requested The term gravity slide may open the door to uses not intended, like Roller coasters, warned Bob Dennis. He asked that some exclusions be written into the ordinance. The structure of the amendment seems to have internal inconsistencies, said Lee Bird. He questioned the proposed change stating the intent “to promote profit or non-profit recreational activities" on the steep slopes. “A public swimming pool with a large parking lot" would create erosion problems and would be destructive to the scenery, he stated. “Why shouldn't recreational businesses for profit be given only on a permit basis?" he asked. Speaking for the amendments were Jack DeBergh and Charles Eldred. DeBergh who lives on Harris Hollow Road said that he had been hearing for sixteen years all the fears of what the ski area would do to Rappahannock County. And those problems had never materialized he said. “No one had moved to the county because of the ski area;” the traffic has never caused a serious wreck and one plowed field would cause more erosion problems than the entire ski area once grass was back on the slopes after construction, DeBergh stated. The benefits to the county would include jobs and pleasure for county children and residents, along with skiers “dropping off dollars along the way to the ski area." Eldred criticized the comments against making a profit off the land. He noted that the current Conservation District allows orchards and logging and “there is no question of these being nonprofit." He asserted that the county was in worse jeopardy if the courts found the zoning ordinances to be invalid. “We might have subdivisions with nothing to stop them." He argued that the county needs a comprehensive plan and needs the zoning or Any Smoking Is Unsafe Answering the findings of a study made by Dr. Gio Gori, head of the smoking and health program at the National Institutes of Health. U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Julius B. Richmond says there is no known safe level of smoking any cigarette of any type. Dr. Gori’s findings have been widely publicized and his statements concerning no apparent risk in smoking certain numbers of 27 "low tar" brands of cigarettes have been challenged by physicians, including members of the Virginia Lung Association’s medical section, the Virginia Thoracic Society. Dr. Richmond says. "While some cigarettes are less hazardous than others, there is no data anywhere in the large body of scientific evidence on the dangers of smoking that holds out any hope that there is such a thing as a safe cigarette or a safe level of smoking... "A key tact must be borne by all: every smoker faces a risk of death or disability that is greater than that laced by those who don't smoke." Two other nationally known doctors have rejected Dr. Cori's belief that less hazardous cigarettes may be considered "tolerable" or safe. Dr. Arthur C. Upton, director of the National Daughter For Mansons A daughter. Laurel Amelia, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Man son of Washington on September 1. I97K in Martha Jefferson Hospital.

He suggested changing the guidelines for the BZA in every section of the zoning ordinance, not just the ConservationRecreation zone so that “it might eliminate decisions by the BZA based on emotional feelings and other things legally indefensible." Anytime you can eliminate generalities and replace them with specifics," you are better off, Eldred said. “We can’t stop development but we can control and guide it. I think a man is entitled to a profit." Public Dlacusslon? "Should he have these uses by right or should there be some means of public discussion?" asked Luke. Eldred said that in his view the Conservation and Business Districts were the "logical places for recreational uses by right...If he (the landowner) feels it is reasonably profitable, he should be able to do so." Baumgardner amplified the point. To discriminate against profitable recreational uses would be arbitrary, he argued. Horseback riding through the mountains would then need a special use permit, he said. Rappahannock Ski Corporation president James Moore said the term “gravity slide” would preclude roller coasters. Erosion on the mountain side would not be a problem, he added and the road could accommodate the traffic. The zoning amendments were necessary, Moore said because "when Cancer Institute, and Dr. Robert I. Levy, director of the National Heart. Lung and Blood Institute. have reviewed the paper written by Dr. Gori on low tar and nicotine cigarettes. "We believe," they said in a joint statement, "that Dr. Gori’s conclusions on low tar and nicotine cigarettes rest on assumptions that have not been proved at the present time... "Many other substances in cigarette smoke may contribute to the damaging effects of smoking in addition to the tar and nicotine content. "To conclude," they said, "that the risk of smoking cigarettes declines in direct proportion to the extent that tar and nicotine is removed from the smoke is at best premature—and may be wrong—on the basis of current scientific knowledge. We therefore fear that Dr. Gori’s paper may mislead the public." In Virginia. Dr. Richardson Grinnan, pulmonary specialist at St. Luke’s Hospital and member of the board of directors of the Virginia Lung Association and the Virginia Thoracic Society, stated after studying Dr. Gori’s paper, "To imply that smoking cigarettes, even 'low tar' cigarettes, is not detrimental to respiratory health is a direct contradiction to all the findings of scientific study since the early l%Os. "As a physician who sees daily the effects of cigarette smoke on the lungs, I am distressed at any statement that encourages the cigarette habit." Shiloh Conference The Shiloh Association World Missions Conference will feature thirteen Southern Baptist leaders who are involved in diverse mission activities in the United States and abroad. Scheduled for the week of September 17-24, the Conference will reach into twenty-four churches in the Association.

He added that he had an exclusive franchise on Alpine Slides for the area and that similar snowless sleds would not be economically feasible outside of a ski area with a chair lift. Reinsert Original Definition “We can’t have it both ways.” said Luke. “To my mind, “outdoor recreation" is as open ended as the term “recreation." He agreed with George Davis that the Board of Supervisors’ intent was to grant the ski area the uses they had been denied in the special use permit. Luke suggested this could be accomplished by reinserting the definition of recreation that had been left out of the ordinance when it was adopted in 1973. “Why amend the whole zoning ordinance?” he asked rhetorically. "This has now taken on a broader aspect than just your business,’’ Luke told Moore, “and the whole county is going to have to live with it." Luke said he doubted if the county wanted to prohibit public discussion for proposed recreational uses such as theme parks or mountain trails. He also insisted that as Chairman he would not place the item on the agenda for action until the ruling from the Judge was “received on a piece of paper.” He advised Moore that while he was for him, “1 Members of the Virginia Interagency Task Force on Smoking and Health, composed of representatives of the American Cancer Society, Virginia Division; the American Heart Association. Virginia Affiliate; the Virginia Lung Association; the Virginia Health Department; and the Virginia Department of Education, have reviewed Dr. Gori’s findings, and have concluded that previous research indicates that there is a risk in cigarette smoking, even in "low tar" cigarettes. Mt. Salem Baptist Church Sunday services 3 p.m. 3 miles south of Washington on Rt. 626 the Rev B. Gale Titchenell, pastor have to look at this in tne broader sense.” The definition of recreation recommended by Luke reads: “Any establishment or areas operated as a commercial enterprise in which seasonal facilities directly related to recreation are provided for all or any of the following: camping, lodging, picnicking, boating, skiing, sledding, fishing, swimming, outdoor games and sports and activities incidental and related to the foregoing. A commercial area does not include miniature golf grounds, golf driving ranges, , mechanical amusement devices or ac cessory uses, such as refreshment stands, equipment sales and rentals.” "We need to have rental equipment to sell hamburgers" to run a ski area, said Moore. Luke responded that he was open to changing the definition, "but 1 don’t want to create a band-aid ordinance just when we are starting on a Comprehensive Development Plan," he added. Chairman Barksdale closed the public hearing. There was no discussion among the Commissioners present on the proposed changes and no formal vote was taken. The Board of Supervisors must postpone action on the ordinance amendments until they receive a recommendation from the Planning Commission. 78 SELLOUT Year-Endf Clearance With the all New ’79 models due...

However, zoning is even more important to the buyers of land who are planning to erect their own home. Some communities may have zoning that will make it impossible for you to build the home you plan. For instance. one community may require a specific amount of acreage for a one-family zone. If you buy a smaller lot than the zoning ordinance requires, you may not be able to build the ho.use you want on the lot you own. Also, look into th'e type of home which is allowable in vour zoning area. V ou may plan to build a second floor apartment, possibly for another member of your family or even lor rental purposes. If the property is a one-tamily residential zone, you may be out of luck. No need to worry as long as you check out the zoning before you buy.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7,1978 The Year Of The Tomato Usually waiting for a tomato to ripen is like waiting for a watched kettle to boil. As this summer turned out, you could wish the kettle had never boiled. After a long winter of dependence on the chemically-produced tomato, there is nothing in eating experience to match the taste delight of a ripe red tomato fresh from your own garden. In recent summers, however, there has been no guarantee that setting out a young tomato plant in late spring would yield a harvest of edible tomatoes by late August. une summer a strange blight hit the crop, and the flesh of many a tomato turned a pasty sickly white before the fruit ripened. Last summer was so dry for so long that some of the fruit never matured. Early this summer the growing season began to develop as a repeat of a remembered summer of the 1940s when it rained so long without interruption and so hard that while vines proliferated and ran out of sight, the soil and air were so heavy with moisture that the fruit rotted on the vine. Then, this summer, after the heavyrains of July and early August, as the plants thrived and spread every which way unless meticulously controlled, as a profusion of blossoms turned into small green fruit, it seemed that in the soggy wetness the fruit would never ripen. Any gardener who didn't in early August against his will pick the tomato green yellow and put it aside on the kitchen shelf to ripen, found that he had unripe but rotten fruit on the vine, it was so wet. But then in mid-August a few clear dry days succeeded one another. The sun beat hotly on the forest of vines. All the tomatoes turned yellow and orange and then carmen. It was so dry for awhile that even those that lay on the earth, unprotected, matured without mud or worm blemish. Within a week, a failing crop became a bountiful crop, unlike any other of recent years. Just a few vines yielded bucketful after bucketful of large, round, red, ripe and succulent fruit. They’re piled on tables and kitchen counters, and the refrigerator shelves won’t hold any more. It has been a year to remember, the year of the tomato. Know anyone who can use some? — Ra|>|>ahanr»M-k \f«» Ptloliw 'S l-at ham t I!

SSI Can Make A Difference Supplemental security income (SSI) payments can make a big difference in the quality of life for people 65 or over, or disabled, or blind who have limited income and do not own much property. Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently. The SSI program now makes monthly payments to 4-/4 million people. I he maximum monthly Federal pavment is SI89 40 for an individual and $284.10 for an eligible couple. Some people get less because they have other sources of income, while others get more because they live in a State which adds to the Federal payment. People do not have to be entirely without funds to qualify for SSI payments The first $20 of monthly unearned income generally does not count. If they work, the first $65 of earned in come does not coqrit and only half of the rest doe? People can have resour ces — things they own—valued up to SI,500 for an individual. $2,250 for a couple, and still get SSI payments. Not everything counts as a resource. A home does not count, and a car may not depending on its value. What does count are things that can be turned into cash, such as stocks, bonds, savings accounts, jewelry, and items of this nature. It does not matter how old or young a disabled or blind person is to qualify for SSI payments. Even children can get payments, although their parents' income and resources will be considered when deciding their eligibility. More detailed information about SSI eligibility requirements can be obtained at -the Culpeper social security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 825-3500. There are many free leaflets available describing the SSI program at the office.

According to figures released by the Virginia Employment Commission, 4.b per cent of the Planning District's labor force was unemployeed County Labor force during July compared to 4.3 per cent during June. At the same time, state unemployment stood at 5.2 per cent while the level for the nation as a whole was 6.3 per cent (seasonally unadjusted).

School Board The Rappahannock School Board held a special meeting at the elementary school on Tuesday evening to discuss "personnel matters."

The School Board's regular meeting will be Tuesday, September 12, at 8 p.m. in the elementary school library. RLEP Meeting Rosser H. Payne, Jr. will be the guest speaker at the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection meeting on Friday, September 8, at 7:30 in the courthouse. Described by RLEP as a "middle of the roader” with a position somewhere between those favoring “no growth" and those who would give every developer free reign, Payne has spent the last 28 years in various forms of community planning. A past president of the Virginia chapter of the American Association of Planners, he has served as expert witness in 150 zoning case| and has assisted 100 private developers in designing and planning subdivision projects. Payne's presentation at the RLEP meeting will reflect his philosophy based on long years of planning experience and his understanding of Virginia policies and politics. Mental Health Board To Meet The monthly governing board meeting of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Mental Health Center will be held Monday at 4:30 p.m. in the Lord Culpeper Building, 401 S. Main St., Culpeper. On Tuesday at 1 p.m., the Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Board will hold its regular monthly meeting at its new offices in the Lord Culpeper Building. Persons wishing to make presentations to the board should phone 703-825-8284 Letters To The Editor Support To the editor: Community support for athletics at Rappahannock County High School seems to be greater than evef. The latest addition to our gymnasium is a pair of roster boards which were made and installed by Mr. Hubert Gilkey of Chester Gap. The boards are of commercial quality and have greatly improved the appearance of Conservation? To the editor: The proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance changing our conservation districts into "ConservationRecreation” districts and permitting any form of outdoor profit-making activity in those areas, as a matter of right. are dangerous. One amendment states that a purpose of having conservation-recreation districts is to promote profitmaking activities. This appears to be in direct opposition to all of the other purposes for having such districts, e.g., to protect and preserve the forest and wildlife. Another amendment introduces the term outdoor recreation without defining it. gives three examples of outdoor recreation, and adds that outdoor recreation is not limited to these. The worst amendment, however, would permit anything, anything, in the way of outdoor profit-making activities to be established anywhere on our county's slopes as a matter of right. No special permission would be necessary of discussion required. Another “King's Dominion" could result. The latest innovation that organization wants to add is nightly fireworks. Nightly! Pitty Hanover County. All citizens interested in preserving the rural values oi Rappahannock County should express their views at the meeting of the Board ol Supervisors Thursday morning, 10:00 a.m., when these amendments are considered.

On behalf of the Athletic Department I would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to Mr. Gilkey and the cheerleaders for a great job! On August 1. 1978. Dr. R. S. LeGarde and Mrs. Frances Thornton gave physicals to over fifty prospective athletes here at the high school. As in past years there was no charge to the athletes nor to the school for their services. Very few schools have access to such generous professionals. These efforts above and beyond the call of duty are not expected, but are of tremendous benefit to the student athletes involved.

Fickett Declares $100,000 Worth - Washington News Congressional candidate Lewis P. Fickett Jr., a threeterm delegate to Virginia's General Assembly, has released a financial statement showing a net worth of nearly $100,000. The Democrat from Fredericksburg challenged his opponent, Republican Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson of Winchester, to do the same. “It is my belief,” Fickett said, that any person seeking public office should be willing to prove to the public they have nothing to hide." Fickett called the incumbent Robinson a wealthy man who "constantly votes for big business and the utility companies." "1 would like to know, as I m sure many of his constituents would, if Mr. Robinson has any conflicts between his public voting and his personal financial interests." Fickett said. Fickett s total 1977 family income in his financial statement was listed as $35,302 for him and his wife Martha V. Fickett. Both receive salaries from Mary Washington College, and he also reported income from his law practice and from the General Assembly. The family's statement showed assets of $149,057 and liabilities of $52,000 for a net worth of $97,057. Rep. Robinson has said he has met the requirements of the Flouse Committee On Standards of Official Conduct and will make no further disclosure of his personal finances. Until this year, the House committee required a very limited financial statement of each U.S. Representative, and details were filed on a confidential basis. Beginning last April. reporting requirements were expanded and also were made a matter of public record. However, the April 1978 report covers only October. November and December of I977. the final quarter of 1977 because the legislation does not require a report tor a full year until April 1979.

In products made with added pectin 2 cups of honey can replace 2 cups of sugar if the yield is more than 5 to 6 glasses. In smaller recipes, replace only 3/« to 1 cup of the sugar with honey. Light corn syrup can replace up to one-fourth, of the sugar in jellies without added pectin; up to one half sugar in recipes with added powdered pectin; and up to 2 cups of sugar in recipes with liquid pectin. Artificial sweeteners cannot be used in place of sugar. They will sweeten the product but do not combine with pectin to give a gel nor do they have a preservative effect.

With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It must be since she lingers there. And you, O you, who the wildest yearn For the old time step and the glad return. Think of her as faring on, as dear In the love there as the love of here. Mild and gentle as she was brave PERSONAL With the sweetest love of her life she gave To simple things—where violets grew Pure as the eyes they were liken to. The touches of her hands have strayed. As reverently as her lips have prayed. Think of her still as the name I say: She is not dead—she is just away. — Sadley missed by her daughter and sons. 21 + FISH—A Christian service organization.
