c mama ■ —Rappahannock New* Photo/John Toler ASSISTING at a serious accident on Rt. 802 in Fauquier County were Trooper H. A. Newlin and Rappahannock County Deputy Ronny Hawkins (center). David Hamilton Rich, 22, of Warrenton was impaled by an eight foot fence board in the accident. He was taken to Fauquier Hospital by the Warrenton Rescue Squad and later airlifted to Washington, D.C., Hospital Center. His rescue and miraculous survival received nationwide attention. 7th Grade Reading Criticized By DAPHNK HUTCHINSON Rappahannock .Vw» Staff Writer Mrs. Dean Irvine appeared before the Rappahannock School Board at its September meeting—first in open session and then later in private—to relay her concern over what she viewed as serious inadequacies in one of the seventh grade reading classes. Mrs. Irvine said she was upset over sending her daughter to the summer reading program and then discovering that the child had received only two days of reading instruction during the first three weeks of school. According to Mrs. Irvine, her daughter had received no ditto sheets, no homework assignments and no assignments in her reading workbook. In addition, she said, the teacher involved had not even written anything on the blackboard pertaining to reading lessons. Mrs. Irvine told the School Board that she'd discussed the matter with elementary school Principal Graham Spencer and Superintendent William Bloomer but that the situation hadn't significantly improved. On the day of the School Board meeting, according to Mrs. Irvine, her daughter's reading class had consisted of the teacher repding to the class and various students reading almiH tit fhp fparhpr When asked by Chairman Beverly Massie to comment, Bloomer indicated that he’d rather have Spencer explain the situation to the Board. Spencer, however, had not yet arrived at the meeting. Bloomer acknowledged that he'd discussed the reading program with Mrs. Irvine and had told her if things weren't resolved “to her satisfaction" in a week, that "further action" would be taken. Noting other parents had expressed concern over this particular seventh grade reading class to Spencer, Mrs. Irvine said she didn’t want further delay in remedying the problem. "Reading has been very much a concern of this Board," said Mrs. Massie. She suggested that the discussion continue in executive session when Spencer arrived. Later, the Board went into a closed meeting for approximately two and a half hours with part of the time spent with Mrs. Irvine and Spencer. CDS Car Bloomer reported that Patricia Hattinger, the new school chilli development ) specialist, had agreed at the time of employment to use her own car and accept mileage payments for her visits to home-bound students. However, Mrs. Hattinger now has a new automobile, said Bloomer, and doesn’t want to drive it down back country roads. He proposed that the School Board purchase a service vehicle for the child development specialist to use, noting that other school divisions followed this procedure. Mrs. Massie recalled that the School Board, at a special transportation meeting in July, had resolved to limit the fleet of service vehicles to seven giving Bloomer authorization to assign the vehicles as he deemed necessary. She noted that the School Board is required by law to furnish only one vehicle (for the Superintendent). ‘‘My recommendation is that we continue upgrading the service vehicles but the total shouldn’t exceed seven,” she said. Board member Arthlinda Quaintance asked why the child development specialist couldn't use the elementary principal's car. If a child had to be transported to the doctor it> an emergency and the principal’s car wasn't available, then the child would be moved without adequate insurance protection, according to Bloomer. “But wouldn’t a car from the other school be available?’’ Mrs. Quaintance countered, adding that the rescue squad should be called on to provide transportation in a real emergency. Bloomer maintained that giving the CD specialist a currently assigned service vehicle to use "will hamper the effectiveness of the school operation. But if this is the desire of the Board. I will move in that direction,” he added. Mrs. Massie remarked that she would rather see any available money go into “direct services to the children” instead of into another vehicle. By buying a car for the CD specialist, the School Board “will be providing a direct service to homebound, handicapped children,” the Superintendent maintained. Answering a question from Board member Walter Masterson, Bloomer acknowledged that the child development specialist was a part-time employee who worked in Rappahannock only three days per week. Nichols suggested that the Board make the standard IS cents per mile payment to whoever has to drive his own car while Mrs. Hattinger is using another service vehicle. The Board agreed to keep the service fleet at seven vehicles and directed Bloomer to assign a car to the CD specialist to use for home visits. The Board members also agreed with Nichols' proposal to pay mileage to whoever has to give up his vehicle. (Continued on Page 2) County’s Title I Investigated By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Sufi Writer The Department of Health, Education and Welfare has requested an investigation of federally funded Title I programs in Rappahannock County public schools. According to a letter dated September 21 addressed to Congressman Joseph Fisher from Richard L. Fairley, Director of HEW's Division for Education of the Disadvantaged, the investigation will be conducted by the Virginia Title I office. Fisher contacted HEW representatives after a parent of a child at Rappahannock Elementary School reported alledged deficiencies in the Title 1 program here. According to the parent, several federal guidelines are being regularly violated in the administration of Title I programs in Rappahannock. Specifically, the parent maintained that: 1. Children are taught in isolation in self-contained classrooms rather than mainstreamed with students in regular educational programs (Section 116.32 b); 2. Title 1 funds are not used to supplement state and local funds as the children in Title I classes have inadequate numbers of books and other educational supplies and are not equipped as well as children Trucks Collide Two trucks were involved in a collision on the mountain west of Sperryville on September 22. According to Trooper R. A. Baines. William Herbert Gainey of Mechanicsville, Md. was eastbound in a 1974 Chevrolet when he was struck by a 69 Ford truck. Operator of the Ford was Thomas McKinny of Burnsville, N. C. whose steering mechanism was defective. McKinny lost control of his truck on a curve and struck the other truck. Baines estimated damage to Gainey’s truck at $500 and at $200 to McKinny, who was cited for defective equipment. Work Begins on County’s Comprehensive Plan After several years of debate and months of talk, work on Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan is finally under way. At the county Planning Commission meeting last Wednesday, Planning District 9 Executive Director John Capelle volunteered to draw up an outline of what the plan should contain and agreed to bring his proposals back to the Planners' October 18 meeting for discussion. At the onset of the session, chairman Herbert Barksdale announced that the Planners wanted to get started on the comprehensive plan if PEW Director Capelle "ever gets a letter from the Supervisors saying go ahead.” “I think he can start without the letter,” responded Planner E. P. Luke, who is also chairman of the Supervisors. (By unanimous vote at their September meeting, the Supervisors formally requested Capelle to begin on the county’s plan but apparently Capelle did not receive notification before Wednesday.) Luke reported that he had done a draft plan in 1975 with county engineer Fanning Baumgardner and suggested that Capelle use that along with 1974 land studies by USDA economist Gene Wunderlich as a starting point. Barksdale disagreed, proposing instead that Capelle start "from scratch” rather than use Luke's draft. He reminded Luke that Newbill Miller had been named chairman of their comprehensive plan committee. adding that the document was supposed to be the effort of a group and not the work of one man. Luke assured Barksdale that he had no intention of usurping Anyone's authority and emphasized that he’d volunteered his old work merely to save a little time and effort. Planner Newbill Miller interjected that he’d like to see Capelle formulate his own ideas independently and then compare his proposals to Luke's. Miller said he'd received advice on the county comprehensive plan from Commonwealth Attorney George Davis and Washington lawyer Douglas Baumgardner. "It's not coming from the same source (but) they both said the same thing—keep it short and sweet." Miller also cautioned against relying too heavily on Wunderlich's 1974 land study, maintaining that much of the data was inaccurate. According to Miller, Capelle had previously indicated that he would begin on the plan by running down the mandatory requirements for the document set by the Virginia Code. "We shouldn't have it too detailed.” said Miller. “Doug (Baumgardner) told me that the more he saw in court, the more he felt a comprehensive plan should be specific and brief.” PD Approval Required In explaining why he needed a letter from the Supervisors before beginning work, Capelle said he hadn’t included major assistance to Rappahannock in his current budget. As his staffs assistance would mean an extra work load, he said he needed the letter to take before his Board for formal approval. “We maintain information on Rappahannock County on a day-to-day basis so, in a sense, we’ve already started but before I can present ] anything back to you formally, 1 need that letter,” Capelle said. He added that he'd also like an indication that the county would contribute 51,000 towards, printing, reproduction and other costs associated with a comprehensive plan. By making the contribution, he said, Rappahannock would have a better chance later to secure grant money to help pay for the plan. After doing the outline of what is to be included in the plan, Capelle said he’d need the Planners to give tacit approval by voting to adopt the outline. According to Capelle, most of the background work will be done by the PD9 staff “in house,” using soil maps from the Soil Conservation Service and topographical maps from the U.S. Geological Service. “We’ll cut and paste...put it together in the form the Code requires.” he said. Capelle anticipated that Chapter One would deal with natural resources. Chapter Two with population and employment. He told the Planners that he’d prefer to .(Continued on Page 4) in regular classrooms, (Section 116.40); 3. Children in Title classrooms are not achieving significant progress and the program is not being evaluated properly (Section 116.43); 4. Information on Title 1 programs is concealed from the public, particularly from parents of children in Title classes (Section 116.45); 5. Needs assessments have not been done (Section 116a.21); 6. There is no Parents Advisory Council for the Title I program. (Section 116a.25) The parent described the Title 1 program in Rappahannock as “an atrocious situation” and maintained that its mismanagement "will ultimately lead to the failure of the Public Education in this country." In the letter to Fisher, Fairley noted that, pursuant to federal regulations, "the resolution of such matters as your constituent has raised rests, in the first instance, with the State educational agency. Therefore, we have requested Mr. Robert W. Sparks, Virginia Director of Title I, ESEA, to investigate the allegations and provide this office with a report of his findings." Further. Fairley noted that a review of the information contained in the parent’s letter "does raise questions about the Title I program" in Rappahannock. Welfare Gets Binding Arbitration Since Rappahannock County government has not adopted local grievance procedures that apply to county employees, Welfare Department personnel are covered by the state procedure, according to Social Services Director Elizabeth Buntin. At the Welfare Board meeting last Soccer Begins The Rappahannock Athletic Association's fall soccer program begins Saturday, September 30. at the elementary school. A clinic on the fundamentals of the sport will be held from 11 a.m. to noon followed by team selection and the first practice session. Saturday is the last chance for school age boys and girls to register for the soccer program. Fees are $4 per child with a family maximum of $7, no matter how many children sign up from one family. Kids do not need any special equipment but should wear shoes and clothes that are comfortable to run in. Soccer organizer Don Keithly reported that 70 to 80 young soccer enthusiasts turned out for registration last Saturday despite the rainy, overcast weather. "If we can double that this weekend, we’ll have enough for a good league." he said. Friday, Mrs. Buntin explained the steps that are followed in grievance procedures to her Board members. She noted, tirsi of all, that only certain things are grievable. Essentially, the grievance must relate to the application, meaning or interpretation of personnel policy rather than the policy itself, she said. In a grievance case, the employee must first hold a conference with his or her direct supervisor. Then, if the problem is not resolved, the employee proceeds to a management level conference, next to a conference with the Welfare Board and finally to a panel hearing before a three-member panel composed of one member appointed by the employee, one by the agency head and the third named by the other two. According to law, the decision of his panel is final and binding with the onlyrecourse an appeal to the courts by the dissatisfied party in the grievance. Acknoledging that no grievances had been tiled since she'd been with the Rappahannock Welfare Department. Mrs. Buntin maintained that grievance procedures were now "taken advantage of, used a whole lot more than in the old days." She added that a grievance policy protects both management and employees. In other business. Welfare Board member Aline Johnson who's term has expired announced that she had not yet reached a decision on whether or not to accept reappointment to the Board for another four years. She indicated that she would make up her mind and inform Mrs. Buntin within the next week. Amissville Homecoming The Amissville Baptist Church will observe homecoming S u n d a v .

-Rely On Professionals Rappahannock’s comprehensive plan “has to be right down the middle” between state enabling legislation on one side of the table and statutory law on the other, according to planning and zoning expert Rosser Payne. In remarks made at the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection’s September meeting, Payne said, “If it takes spending money (for a comprehensive plan), don’t hesitate.” However, he did acknowledge that "spending money for planning is distasteful to many people." Payne, a recognized authority on planning described by RLEP as "middle of the road,” has appeared as an expert witness in more than 160 zoning cases and has testified for the winning side in the last 30 Virginia Supreme Court decisions relating to zoning. According to Payne, Rappahannock's biggest problem lies in the lack of understanding regarding a locality's police powers in planning and zoning. He maintained that the data are there for everyone to see if they're interested. "I don’t understand why the information available to me is not disseminated to the general public," he said, calling for Supreme Court decisions to be translated into laymen’s terms. During his years in planning. Payne said he’d been dismayed and disappointed to see the surge of both “no growth" and "uncontrolled growth" movements. "No growth,” said Payne, "had no chance from the start...Flat-out growth with no restrictions is also wrong." r What localities need, he maintained, is a balance —“thoughtful, detailed, expensive land use planning” developed in accord with state law under the Dillon Rule. The Virginia Legislative Advisory Council pushed for mandatory planning when it became obvious to the legislature that counties and towns weren’t interested in "doing their work,” according to Payne. Many localities, he said, adopted comprehensive plans purely to qualify for federal grants. “They weren’t interested until someone was going to give them money,” Payne contended. Planning For Dollars Half of Virginia’s localities have adopted comprehensive plans for just that reason, he continued. Most of the "planning for dollars" efforts haven’t been updated or reviewed as required by state law, Payne noted. These conditions, he said, came to the attention of the Legislative Advisory Council of the General Assembly and resulted in state mandates for the creation of local Planning Commissions, adoption of subdivision site plan ordinances and adoption of comprehensive plans. If localities don’t comply with state requirements and guidelines for proper land use planning, then the Commonwealth will take over that responsibility for local government, Payne warned. After the General Assembly handed down mandates for Planning Commissions, subdivision ordinances and comprehensive plans, the reaction of many localities was typical of that of a “recalcitrant 1 <\appaliatmuck Xrniii Rappahannock &• Adjoining Counties per year $6.00 Elsewhere in the U.S. per year $7.50 Outside the U.S. per year $6.00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE L^erii (noosed NAME______ ADDRESS __ CITY_STATE_ZIP _ Entered as se> pnd class mail at the Post Office m Washington v.» T,u i pahannocK News is published every Thursday at 39 Culpeper Spent W *"ei Va by The Warrenti n Printing and Publishing Co P O Bo* 63^ Wan.-ntoi 22186 r JotuL So>0 U S 'moortti *H,S T, A ASSOCl* T( S Po"'t^O M«.o« Petersen t Wood Heat Center, Inc.

Local jurisdictions responded by demanding to know “what are you going to do to us if we don’t do it?” “Now, what kind of a reaction is that?” Payne asked. He explained that the legislature, in its planning mandates, was only requiring that localities be able to demonstrate the link between zoning ordinance, subdivision ordinance and comprehensive plan in a court of law. “That’s all the legislature has asked for," Payne said. In doing a comprehensive plan, Payne cautioned against planning for the distant future. “It’s dangerous to think too far ahead.” he maintained, adding that no one can predict what outside, growthinfluencing factors the future will bring. \ Payne told his RLEP audience that the state planning office could be a valuable source of help in the planning process for “people who know how to use it." In drawing up a comprehensive plan, localities can also look to Planning District Commissions and private consultants for assistance, he said. Professional Planning "You notice 1 didn’t say anything about local participation." Payne continued. "Sure, it’s there but use the professionals and these sources (already cited) to get the job you want done," he advised. Relying on comprehensive plans from other localities in a "cut and paste" technique is not the proper procedure for Rappahannock to follow, according to Payne. “You can't do that. You have to do your own work," he insisted, even if it entails cost to the taxpayer. Rappahannock is a “unique county,” said Payne. “You don't have the same economic base as the counties .around you so your plan will have to be a different kind of animal." he concluded. Beginning the question and answer period following Payne’s remarks, RLEP president Phil Irwin noted that RLEP had supported the concept -of a comprehensive plan since 1972. He added that he'd been dismayed by the lack of interest shown in planning by the county's appointed and elected officials. Local government people, he said, insisted that a comprehensive plan would be a disaster for the county since it would be necessary to show on the document where to put airports, factories and other intensive commercial and industrial uses. “Do we have to include that?" asked Irwin. Not necessarily, Payne replied. "Not if it's not economically viable." But, he warned, the county can't use exclusionary zoning to prohibit any land use desired by even one citizen. As an example, he said that trailer parks could be controlled through a zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan so that they’re not "scattered all over the landscape." A comprehensive plan doesn’t have to show a trailer park but, at the same time, the zoning ordinance and comprehensive plan can't say that trailer parks aren't allowed in Rappahannock County, according to Payne.

As a first step in drawing up a comprehensive plan, the county must undertake a complete “physical analysis,” Payne said. "Someone must go out and map every single acre of this county...It’s work and it’s expensive,” he added. “It seems like you’re describing things that take a long time,” remarked RLEP program chairman Mitzie Young. As Rappahannock County includes a reasonably small area and population, “you have the amount of time to do what must be done between now and 1980,” Payne responded. Bob Dennis noted what he perceived as “inconsistencies" between state mandates and the General Assembly’s unwillingness to deal with issues put before it such as requests from counties like Loudoun and Fairfax for powers to deal with the timing of growth, with provision for services and capital facilities and with provisions for the future of agriculture in the state. The General Assembly has failed to deal with any of these problems, said Dennis, while at the same time the Assembly has asked counties to address the same problems by 1980 "without the basic planning tools to do the job.” 20 Per Cent For Capital Improvements Payne replied that the State legislature is going to continue to refuse to deal with the timing of growth “as long as localities refuse to put up 20 per cent of their general funds for capital improvements.” Not more than 20 out of % counties have the capital improvement programs that Payne described as “a commitment to spend money.” “It’s tough to talk about five-year spending programs for capital improvements in court house Virginia,” he continued. The state itself is not very cooperative either about providing funds for capital improvements, according to Payne. He explained that state grants for capital improvements usually supplement federal grants. If planning feasibility studies haven’t been done, he said, federal authorities “nix” the programs which in turn causes the state to pull its money out. “The state is not going to get into the business of financing local programs to deal with growth timing,” he concluded. Although the state has not yet given localities a date by which time they must adopt capital improvements programs, Payne predicted that this would be the next mandate from Richmond “as localities are dragged kicking and screaming into the planning process.” Agreeing that the state should have explained capital improvement programs before mandating comprehensive plans, Payne noted that public and private interests must be delicately balanced in planning for the future. “I don’t think Rappahannock’s problems are insolvable,” he said. "It’s going to take some give and take, working together between state and local government.” In defense of the county’s Planning Commission, Payne acknowledged that the Planners had limited funds to work with, adding that “there may not be a lot of time left for them to learn what I’ve learned.” “But I’m sure you have enough time (to complete a comprehensive plan by 1980) if you get on it now," he concluded. 7th Grade Reading (Continued from Pagfe 1) (Currently, school cars are provided to high school Principal Dennis Wingfie|d, elementary Principal Graham Spencer, Assistant Superintendent Robert McDaniel and Dr. Bloomer.) Contractual Buying In adopting a calendar for the current year, the School Board had specifically set the September meeting for a discussion on contractual buying. Board member Walter Masterson repeated the contention that he’s stated on several previous occasions—that the schools could save money and storage space by combining with other systems to buy items that are regularly purchased, such as paper and cleaning supplies. In addition to controlling inventory, contractual buying would allow great savings as demonstrated by the last year's contract with a bread company to buy bread and rolls for school lunches, according to Masterson. "It’s nothing but good business procedure (when) you contract for bulk," he stated. Masterson charged that school personnel have not investigated prices before contracting to purchase supplies. Instead, supplies are ordered, bills come in and are then paid by the administration, he said. He noted that supply trucks on their way to Warren County, Culpeper and Charlottesville go right by both Rappahannock schools, making it easy to arrange delivery if contractual agreements with those systems could be worked out. Prices The Seine “Many of the products you have mentioned are on a state bid contract,” Bloomer responded. Under these contracts, he said, all school divisions in the state pay the same price per item whether they purchase one or 15. “Most of my checking reveals we’re buying at comparable prices with surrounding jurisdictions even though we buy less,” Bloomer said. “I’m not saying we can’t save some money by consolidating...but I doubt if many school systems would be interested in cooperative buying,” he added. Masterson suggested that Bloomer investigate cooperative purchasing with nearby hospitals instead of schools. The Board unanimously directed Bloomer to look into the matter further.

New Radio Station Sets Fall Air Date Goldcup Broadcasting Inc. is preparing to get its new radio station WQRA-FM on the air here soon. The company’s new building to house radio broadcasting equipment is nearing completion at its site 1.4 miles south of Warrenton at the junction of Rt. 29. and Rt. 744 (Lover’s Lane). “We’re still looking at a fall air date,’’ Goldcup president James K. Edmundson, a Washington attorney, said last week. “We’re trying to get on the air as soon as possible.’’ WQRA will broadcast “middle of the road” music aimed at “the 21 plus adult" audience. The station will operate approximately 18 hours a day Monday through Sunday, broadcasting over a frequency of 94.3 FM, or channel 232, at a transmitting power of 3000 watts. Goldcup has hired Keith Angstat, now director of operations and chief engineer for WFVA-AM and FM in Fredericksburg, as general manager for WQRA. Angstat, 34, has worked for the Middle Atlantic Network, which owns the Fredericksburg station and several others, for five years. He also has been general manager for a television ' station and has worked for '■■■ radio station WFLS in Fredericksburg. “I hope to get up to Warrenton and set up the office next week,” Angstat said Monday. “We should be on the air no later than Nov. 1.” Angstat said the station here will have about five full time employees, including Robert E. Morrow of 326 Falmouth St. “Bob will be our sales manager and morning person (announcer),” the general manager said. “Our format will be aimed at the middle of the road, adult audience,” Angstat said. “It won’t compete with the formats of the two other radio stations there.” Like its local competitors, WQRA will be affiliated with United Press International audio and wire services and with the Virginia Network news services. "We’ll also bring something new to the area,” Angstat said. “We’ll be affiliated with NOAA (National Oceanographic and The Swedish I Town. from MIA From Sweden the new MIA Clog Collection.

Sewage Problems Continue Rappahannock Elementary School’s sewage treatment lagoon “Is still a major concern to the State Water Control Board,” reported Superintendent William Bloomer to the county School Board at the September 12 Board meeting. According to Bloomer, the SWCB will require effluent from both the elementary and high school sewage treatment facilities to meet more stringent requirements before issuing any new discharge permits. Bloomer had no estimates on what capital outlay costs for upgrading the elementary school’s lagoon system would run. He did, however, have an estimate from Environmental Systems in Culpeper for conducting the required daily tests on the high school’s sand filter system. He also noted that the high school facility must install additional equipment for daily chlorination since effluent standards for sand filters are more stringent. He said effluent from the high school must meet standards for biological oxygen demand (BOD) of 20 milligrams per liter while BOD standards for the elementary school’s lagoon are set at 30 milligrams per liter. School Board chairman Beverly Massie maintained that Environmental Systems’ bid of $350 per month was excessive for coming over to Rappahannock once a week to do reports on systems at both schools. “On the basis of the information that I've gathered so far, their quoted price is not too far out of line for the testing procedure and the number of tests performed,” interjected Board member Paul Nichols. He noted the possibility of having some of the tests conducted at the high school. "The tests are not beyond high school students and teachers,” he said, acknowledging that those performing the tests would have to be certified in waste water systems. “We would need expert professional guidance,” he added. Noting that he hadn't yet completed his survey on options available to the Board, Nichols maintained that the School Board could still contract for professional advice if the tests were done at the high school. He volunteered to work with Dr. Bloomer and bring back a recommendation on whether to attempt to use the high school science department to conduct testing on the sand filter system. “If it’s not too late,” he added, referring to the lack of time before the sewage systems have to meet new SWCB guidelines. ‘‘We should be in a position to comply with the guidelines once the permit is issued,” agreed Bloomer. (The State Water Control Board has already advertised issuance of a permit for the high school and reissuance of the elementary school's permit. According to the SWCB notice printed in the September 14 and 21 editions of The Rappahannock News, written comments will be accepted on the proposed reissuance of the elementary school’s discharge permit until October 21. (The notice also stated that the SWCB may decide to hold a public hearing on the matter if it determines that public response is significant. Following the comment period, the SWCB will make a decision on the permit reissuance.) Davis Ruling Last year. Commonwealth Attorney George Davis advised the School Board that state and federal funds would have to be provided for upgrading the elementary sewage lagoon as long as the system continued to meet the effluent standards under which the school’s original permit was issued. However, at the September Board meeting, Bloomer reported that a recent opinion from Attorney General Marshall Coleman held otherwise. According to Bloomer, Coleman ruled that the provisions of law relied upon by Davis in his advice to the Board did not apply to school systems. Further, said Bloomer, school systems are not eligible for federal grant money for sewer projects.

One of the items frequently overlooked when remodeling or buying a new home, is the capacity of the hot water heater. First notice of this oversight normally is discovered while under a hot shower when it turns ice-cold prematurely. But, then it is too late. So, here’s a short course on the subject. The capacity of storage water heaters is rated in two ways and is usually imprinted on the nameplate of the tank. One number tells you the capacity of the tank, and the other number shows the recovery rate per hour. The sum of the two numbers gives you the number of gallons of hot water a tank qan supply in one hour. A tank of 50 gallons capacity with a recovery rate of 40 gallons will supply 90 gallons an hour which should be plenty for a family of five in a home with two baths and an automatic dishwasher and clotheswasher. A family of four without the dishwasher should be able to get by on a 30 or 40 gallon tank with 30 gallon recovery.

Named Outstanding Young Woman Being selected as an Outstanding Young Woman of America was certainly not one of Janet Deroo’s life goals. In fact, up until her selection for inclusion in the 1978 awards program, the sixth grade teacher at Rappahannock Elementary School didn’t even know that there was such a program designed to "honor and encourage exceptional young women between the ages of 21 and 36 who have distinguished themselves in their homes, in their professions and in their communities.” A “voice out of the past” is responsible for her being in the 1978 edition of “Outstanding Young Women of America,” according to Janet. She said that a friend from scouting days who she hadn’t seen for seven years had nominated her for the honor. As a teenager and as an adult, Janet Deroo has a distinguished record of community involvement and service. While attending public school in Moorestown, New Jersey, where she grew up, Janet won varsity basketball letters. She traveled to France with her high school French club, coming home with a wish to return to Europe some day to live and teach. Janet did volunteer work as a Candy Striper for four years at the local Moorestown hospital. She was also an active member of her church, teaching Sunday School and belonging to the young group and choir. Miss Deroo has been involved with Girl Scouting for 16 years as a member and seven years as a leader of Brownie, Junior and Cadette groups. As a Scout, Janet received the "God and Community" award through her church and Girl Scout troop. She earned First Class Scout as a Cadette and was chosen as Senior Representative for Burlington County Girl Scouts to attend the 1972 International Girl Scout Convention in Dallas, Texas. Janet also worked at the Burlington County Scouts camp for two years as business manager and earned her American Camping Association Advanced Campcrafter award through Girl Scouts. In addition to her interests in camping and working with children, Janet likes both sewing and knitting. During high school, she parlayed her hobby into a third place state award in New Jersey’s annual “Make-it-with-Wool" contest. Janet attended Madison College, now James Madison University, and received her degree in elementary education. While attending college, she belonged to the College Outings Club. Since beginning her teaching career, Janet has been an active member of the National Education Association and the Virginia Education Association for five years. She’s been in Rappahannock County for a little over a year and sings in a local church choir. Last year, with two other elementary teachers, she began an afternoon basketball program for sixth and seventh graders. On the basis of her record in service and leadership, *...m Janet is being considered for one of the fifty-one state awards to be presented to those women who have made the most noteworthy contributions to their individual states. From these fifty-one state winners, the Ten Outstanding Young Women of America will be chosen. Janet keeps busy with her work as a teacher and her involvement in her church and the county’s scouting program. “I’m enjoying the beauty of Rappahannock and the friendliness of the people here,” she said. There are more than 5 million motorcycles registered in this country. JANET DEROO, SIXTH GRADE TEACHER at the Rappahannock Elementary School, has been named to the 1978 edition of “Outstanding Young Women of America.” Locust Split Rails and Posts Cut To Order For information and Prices Contact: D.

LYNE General Manager News Editor Design Editor To Subscribe Write or Phone Washington. Va. 676-3348 BY MAIL $6.00 a year in Rappahannock and adjoining counties; THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28,1978 Doorwoman It looked for a while last Wednesday like the Rappahannock Planners were going to have to admit defeat and either call their meeting off or hold the regular session outdoors on the court house steps. The Planners all showed up before the scheduled start at 7:30 but chances for conducting any business appeared mighty slim after a half-hour hassle with the court house door. First Newbill Miller and then Pete Luke tried the lock but for all their rattling, pushing, pulling, huffing and puffing, the door stayed shut. The rest of the Commissioners offered encouragement from the sideline benches but their verbal support failed to keep up Miller’s flagging spirits. He quit after two tries while Luke gave up after a single five-minute effort. Planner Walter Masterson volunteered to come off the bench and take a swing at it after Luke’s and Miller’s attack failed. Using a combination of finesse and brute force, Masterson finally succeeded in getting the door unlocked. According to Luke, deputy clerk Eva Smith is the only person in Rappahannock to have ever completely mastered the trick of opening the court house door. Since Mrs. Smith plans to retire soon, it might be tiijie for the Supervisors to start thinking about buying a new lock. Either that or arrange to hire her part-time as a doorwoman. Why Do Leaves Change Color? As sure as one falling leaf is followed by another, autumn always brings the same questions: What makes the trees turn color? Kindergartners and city editors want to know, and so do garden club members and talk show hosts and homeowners fighting for their lawns against Mother Nature's relentless efforts to smother the grass beneath crimson maple leaves, brown oak leaves, and yellow elm leaves, among others. So, recognizing that there is nothing like a long weekend of leaf raking to take the magic out of autumn foliage. the National Geographic Society hopes to brighten up the fall season with some answers. Foliage changes color for a variety of reasons, but botanists, naturalists, and foresters are quick to push Jack Frost and his legendary paintbrush out of the tree. Jack De-Frosted Frost has little to do with the beautiful reds, browns, golds, oranges, scarlets, and yellows that start transforming America’s hardwoods in early September. In fad, frost and freeze that strike trees still green often kill the leaves, turning them brown instead of their customery brightness. Decreasing daylight as the fall days shorten starts the leaves turning. The tree gradually stops producing the plant hormone, auxin, causing corky cells to grow at the base of the leaves, plugging the circulation links with branches and trunk. Production of the leaves’ food-making green pigment, chlorophyll, stops and it begins to fade away. As it disappears, yellow pigments called carotenes and xanthophylls — previously masked by green chlorophyll—are revealed. They give characteristic yellow colors to willows, aspens, poplars, beeches, hickories, elms, and ashes. As soon as circulation is blocked, leaves no longer can pass on the sugars they make for the tree. The sugars build up in the leaves and produce bright red anthocyanin pigments, which give full dress to many maples, hawthorns, plums, dogwoods, oaks, and black gums. Autumnal Avalanche Sooner or later the leaves may get tired of all this change of life because they give up and start coming down. For even the most stout-hearted man with a rake, this can be an awesome episode: A 60-year-old shade tree alone, somebody has calculated, may bury a lawn under 35,000 leaves. Thanks to man and his ways, however, some leaves may be confused. Street lights, acting like daylight, often trick nearby trees into staying green longer than usual. Heat radiating from sunbaked buildings can scorch shade trees unseasonally brown. Last winter’s salt spread to melt snow from streets contaminates the soil and by late summer many leaves may turn brown around the edges. Time was when the smell of autumn's burning leaves announced the last of summer and the first hint of winter. Now leaf burning is widely outlawed. Botanists, concerned that air pollution makes leaves fall far too early, possibly threatening trees with stunted growth, are trying to develop a tree that thrives in dirty city air. But the inventor who has yet to come up with grass that won't grow tall enough to mow, has also failed, so far, to develop a tree that won’t drop its leaves. SS Clients Must Check Earnings Persons getting social security checks who are under age 72 all or part of 1978 and who have been working should take some time to check their records so that they do not receive any incorrect social security checks. Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, says persons 65 or over in 1978 can earn $4,000 and still receive all checks for the year, while people under 65 can earn $3,240 and receive all payments. These figures are called the annual exempt amount. ■IFAD RUIT MARKET A NEW WRINKLE IN ROADSIDE MARKETING? Gibson Whorton has added Tony’s piua to the more traditional Rappahannock apples and cider sold at stands throughout the county. Maybe hamburgers and fries are ne*i! A person whose earnings exceed the annual exempt amount has SI in benefits withheld for each $2 of earnings above the exempt amount. This withholding is made even though there may be some months in which the person does little or no work. The only exception, Hundley said, is for the first year in which a person receives a monthly check. In that first year, benefits can be paid for months in which the person does little or no work regardless of the total yearly earnings. After the first year, withholding is based only on total annual earnings. A person who estimated that he or she would earn less than the annual exempt amount in 1978 should make sure that their earnings are following the pattern they expected. If earnings are running higher than expected, the person should consider having their checks stopped temporarily to avoid possible overpayments. On the other hand, a person who had his or her benefits stopped because of expected high earnings who now finds that he or she is earning substantially less than expected, could have benefits started. People in either situation can have their questions answered at the Culpeper social security office located at S22 Culpeper Shopping Center. Our Rappahannock Heritage Work On Plan Begins (Continued from Page l) bring chapters in periodically, one at a time, for their review. Once all the chapters are completed, he said, the Commission could go over the comprehensive plan as a whole, change it as desired, and then begin the public hearing process. Future Land Uae "Probably the hardest thing to accomplish, the hardest thing to agree on, will be future land use," Capelle continued. That chapter will be concerned with “what we want the county to look like in the future,” he said. He added that any proposals for future land use should correspond to the zoning map. “That’s the linkage (between the two documents)," Capelle stated. Miller suggested that Capelle tie in the survey done by VPI Extension Agent Rap Owings somewhere in the plan. According to Miller, Owings' survey indicated what Rappahannock citizens wanted for their county in the years to come. However, he pointed out, "what the majority of county people want the county to look like may not be legally possible...How do we comply with Virginia law?” Miller asked. He maintained the most significant point made by the survey was that the majority of county citizens wanted little change in the character of Rappahannock. (See separate story.) Arguing against basing future land use primarily on what citizens want instead of what Virginia enabling legislation allows, Luke maintained that the worst thing that could happen would be for the comprehensive plan to be tested immediately in court. “We might as well recognize that we’re going to go to court," countered Planner Walter Masterson. “That’s all there is to it.” Referring again to Wunderlich’s 1974 land study, Masterson agreed that much of the data it contained was inaccurate but maintained that some of the economist’s projections were “pretty solid.” He volunteered the Planning Commission's assistance in helping the PD9 staff “separate the wheat from the chaff.” Citizen Participation? “I concur with John Capelle—as far as he went (in detailing ideas on comprehensive planning),” commented Phil Irwin, president of the Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection. “But I want to know, where is the opportunity for citizens input along the way?” Capelle replied that he didn't mean to omit citizen participation in the planning process, adding that he gave an outline of content—not technique. As the individual chapters come back to the Planners for review, said Luke, citizens will have an opportunity to present ideas. Irwin maintained that county citizens will have to vote in a public referendum to adopt the comprehensive plan and insisted that they'd vote against it "unless they’re a party to it. understand it and are force-fed its concepts.” “Does it have to be approved by referendum?" asked Miller. Capelle and Luke both agreed that this was not the case. Only Beginning “Right now, we’re only getting off the ground,” said Masterson. He indicated that the public would be involved after the Planners dealt with maps and other cut and dried, non-controversial parts of the plan. Irwin forwarded an offer by RLEP members, approved at their annual meeting, to piovide people, advice, Organization and money “in order to support a citizen - jderived comprehensive plan.” j "We don’t intend to finish the comprehensive plan and say ’here it is,’ ” stated chairman Barksdales. He assured Irwin that the Planners would follow the same route they’d taken in adopting the county's zoning ordinance and would hold local community meetings in each of the magisterial districts to solicit citizen participation. Miller added that the zoning ordinance had been “drastically changed” as a result of ideas expressed at those community meetings. If the people of the county aren’t involved in the planning process, then the Planners run the risk of having the Supervisors “cut the guts out” of any comprehensive plan, as has happened in other localities, according to Luke. This, he maintained, would result in time and money spent for a worthless document. "Either it all hangs together...or it's just a bunch of pieces," he said. Luke also suggested that the Planners take advantage of RLEP's offer if they needed assistance as the plan progressed. "We do have some qualified people in this county who can help us under the guidance of the Planning District,” he said. Capelle emphasized that the proposals he’ll bring to the October meeting will be an “outline of what the plan will contain—not how you want me to work on it." He noted that it will be up to the Planners to decide if they want to use citizen groups or advisory committees. "That has to be hammered out later,” he concluded. Attend Floor Design Course Betty Lou Mills and Sam M. Compton, representatives of Early's Carpet, recently attended a floor fashion center color coordination and design course in McLean. The seminar included discussion of current fashion trends and the latest floor covering decorating techniques, to enable retailers to offer expert assistance to their customers. Ms Mills is with Early's Culpeper shop while Mr. Compton is at their Amissville store. The Little Fox Legalese Is Everywhere! Everyone knows that lawyers speak in a language all their own—a wordy and pretentious language that often leaves laymen baffled and confused. Most Virginians are also aware that the Commonwealth’s General Assembly is made up for the most part of lawyers. It’s hard enough to follow the jargon that our lawyer legislators use to write the thousands of House and Senate bills that pass through Richmond during every session of the Assembly. Now, however, legalese is creeping into the press releases that are sent out between sessions. An example is the public hearing notice of a meeting scheduled by Delegate A. L. Phillpott, Chairman of the Virginia Code Commission. According to the release, “the hearing will concern the drafts of proposed Title 92.1 and various companion bills related to the study, which have been prepared pursuant to House Joint Resolution No. 145 (1974), directing the Commission to study Title 32 (Health) of the Code.” If it sounds like a meeting that you might be vitally interested in, the Commission is soliciting speakers for the hearing and written documents and information from interested individuals. Good luckl Park Fees Up Effective October 1, 1978, the daily entrance fee to Shenandoah National Park will be raised to $3.00 per vehicle. This will replace the present $2.00 fee, which has been in effect since July 1970. “This increase,” explained Park Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen, “is due to the implementation of nationwide standards for fee collection in National Park Service areas. The types of services and facilities available to Park visitors were considered in determining the new rates.” Revenues generated from entrance fees are deposited in the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, and are available to Federal, State and Local agencies for purchase and operation of oublic parks. The price of the Golden Eagle Passport will remain unchanged. This annual pass, available at the Park for S10.00, permits the holder and all occupants of his-her vehicle unlimited entries and re-entries to the Park and other Federal fee recreation areas. The Golden Age Passport, available without charge to all U.S. citizens age sixty-two or older, also allows the holder and occupants of a vehicle free entrance into the Park and other Federal fee recreation areas. Proof of age, such as a driver's license, is required to obtain the passport, which remains valid for the lifetime of the holder. SCC Rep To Explain Utility Rates The Rappahannock Council of Senior Citizens will sponsor a forum on utility company rates on Monday, October 16, at the court house in Washington. Bernard L Henderson, Jr., assistant to the State Corporation Commission, will be the featured speaker. Henderson will explain how the SCC evaluates requests from utility companies for rate increases. Members of the Senior Citizen Council voted unanimously at their September 19 meeting to support Virginia Attorney General Marshall Coleman’s efforts to limit Vepco rate increases below what has been requested by the utility company. In a letter to Coleman, Council president Truman Keesey stated that the Rappahannock senior citizens “applaud your efforts to protect our interests, as consumers, against the avaricious appetities of the utility companies.” In the letter, Keesey also noted that the Rap pahannock Council was opposed to a yield in utility income beyond seven percent; opposed to the $200,000 annual salaries that Vepco pays to at least two corporate officials and opposed to paying for Vepco’s public relations projects and other non-operating expenses. VPI Extension Agents Rap Owings and Nancy Secrist attended the September Council meeting to discuss proposals for a Washington farmers’ market. The Senior Citizens Council will sponsor a community meeting to be held Thursday. November 2, at the Washington Baptist Church on plans for a market that will open in 1979. The Council invites farmers, consumers and anyone else interested to attend. Also at the September meeting, the Council elected Truman Keesey as president. Pearl B. Clarke as vicepresident. Anne Keyser as recording secretary, Lillian Crews as corresponding secretary and Ethel Bailey as treasurer. TRUMAN KEESEY Letter To The Editor To the editor: I attended a meeting called by the Virginia Farm Bureau Marketing Association, at which apple growers discussed at length the controversial prices set by a large fruit processor in this area. Growers are alarmed inasmuch as these prices were set low, and this event takes place after two virtually disastrous low crop seasons. At this meeting a West Virginia fruit grower suggested that a change in supplies of no more than 10 per cent, up or down, to a business complex such as the fruit processors, has a marked effect on prices offered. He said such a variation in available supplies can be achieved if sufficient cold storage facilities are available to the grower. Whether or not processor prices can be significantly influenced in this way, still, more cold > storage facilities here in Rappahannock would serve our fruit industry in several useful ways. It enables more flexibility in harvesting the fruit, it permits holding other highly perishable commodities (such as peaches) in order to negotiate sales, and so on. In Rappahannock such an augmentation of cold storage facilities is simple. They already exist and have been successfully operated for years past. I refer to the cold storage of the now defunct Rediviva Corporation, which was taken over by the Culpeper Farmers Co-Op. I have reason to believe this cold storage could be reactivated at very small cost, could be managed for the Culpeper Co-op by the experienced Rappahannock Cold Storage Co-Op, and could do much good in improving the bargaining position of Rappahannock fruit growers (and others) in almost any market they choose to engage in. By this means the Culpeper Farmers Co-Op could meaningfully enhance the already invaluable services they furnish this community. GEORGE H. SHARP Washington ^•*f*l*_

Racing: The Sport Of Freshmen? Betting on thoroughbred horses was a popular pastime in Colonial Virginia, much to the delight of one of the colony s most industrious and powerful clergymen. But then is now, some Virginians thought horseracing could only bring about dishonesty and laziness, particularly among the youth of the colony. This fall, Virginians are deciding whether to vote for or against parimutuel betting in the statewide election scheduled November 7. The two opposing camps have very different views about what gambling at the racetrack could do for Virginia. Back in the late seventeenth century, the Right Reverend James Blair, who is best remembered for founding the College of William and Mary, was busy planting the seeds for horseracing in Virginia. Blair was a perfect example of the “sporting parson,” an individual who never allowed the fact that he was “a man of the cloth” to stand in the way of his political and social adventures. “Racing in America," a history of horseracing prepared by the American Jockey Club, calls Blair the "father of the Virginia turf.” He was also a first-rate entrepeneur who loved a contest of any kind. Blair’s influence in England and Virginia resulted in part from his powerful position as a member of the Governor’s Council, President of the College, and the Bishop of London’s representative in Virginia. He is truly the “founding father” of William and Mary devoting his interest and energies to a charter and funds for its establishment from King William and Queen Mary. After Middle Plantation was chosen as the College’s site in 1693, Blair was instrumental in the General Assembly’s decision to build the Capitol and the City of Williamsburg there in 1699. In the early 1700’s he most likely helped to establish the nation's first Jockey Club. No doubt Blair’s numerous accomplishments during his 50-year reign at the College overshadow his role as a horseman.

WEAVER & SON Culpeper, Virginia A Little Science. A little Magic. in the sedate, formal portraits that now adorn the Wren Building walls. Planted Racing Seeds Blair, in fact, may have planted the seeds from which Tidewater Virginia grew into the cradle of thoroughbred racing. The stables he helped establish in Williamsburg, probably on or near the campus itself, are considered to be the forerunners of Kentucky’s famed Blue Grass region. Today it would be unheard of for the highest dignitary of the established church in America to associate himself with horseracing. Yet in the pre-Revolutionary era, the “sporting parson” was an established character in the Church of England. Soon after the Bishop of London sent Blair to America, the young minister, according to “Racing in America,” quickly “gained great influence, becoming the most powerful man in the colony—so powerful, in fact, that he was able to secure the disgrace and recall of three Royal Governors in succession—Andrews, Nicholson and Spotswood.” It’s not surprising that the highly-competitive Blair found the turf exciting and he probably started attending races soon after he began his pastoral duties in Virginia. Racing history tells one story about Blair serving as a judge for a race involving William Soane, another prominent Virginian at Varina. This race, like many others during the period was contested and brought to court. With the Reverend Blair as his chief witness, Soane easily won the decision, as well as a hefty wager. In the colonial era, William and Mary attracted many of its students from the First Families of Virginia, who came to the College already versed in the sport. But Blair apparently saw to it that they furthered their "education;" he established horseracing as “an unofficial part of the curriculum,” according to "Racing in America.” There is no evidence that while Blair was president this led to anything objectionable, for although a horseracing addict, Blair was an iron disciplinarian as well. Racing Banned Blair’s successor at William and Mary, however, felt that horseracing and education should be fields apart—both in a physical and a philosophical sense. In 1752, President William Dawson ordained that “no scholar belonging to any school in the College” should keep a horse at the College, in town or even in the neighborhood. He also banned betting on races and ordered that all horses “be immediately dispatched and sent off, and never brought back...under pain of severest punishment.” Two years later Dawson had to issue a similar decree—apparently horseracing was difficult to dispose of, particularly since the town’s race week continued to be popular with the social set until the approaching Revolutionary War called things to a halt in 1774. It’s not surprising that horseracing was fashionable in the colonies. Virginia’s aristocrats often tried to import everything—gorgeous apparel, massive silver services, elegant furniture and fast horses. The ballroom in Williamsburg's Governor's Palace served as one center of society. The race track was another, for gentlemen only—equally as impressive, equally as popular. Officials scheduled race week in Williamsburg at the same time the legislature met, when the normal population of 2,000 would triple. The influx of visitors proved to be so tremendous that it seemed half the homes raitown were turned into inns, ordinances or guesthouses. Today nothing remains to remind the throungs of visitors who come and eo that race week in old Williamsburg was a "resort of gaiety, fashion and high life."

The isolation and segregation of mentally retarded persons from the rest of the community creates a situation in which those persons’ potential value to themselves and society is never realized. People who are labeled deviant are ostracized and are not included in the day-to-day activities that most of us consider normal, according to authorities. A group of people in this area are doing something about helping mentally retarded adults and children become more aware of normal life-styles and available services in the community. These people are known as Citizen Advocates. They have the special task of creating normalizing experiences, the things we do everyday, for one person who has not had those opportunities in their own development. Monday, September 18, at 8 p.m., the Fauquier Association for Retarded Citizens and the Rappahannock-Rapidan Mental Retardation Services are sponsoring togther a presentation of Citizen Advocacy opportunities which will include the new movie, “Justice and the Art of Gentle Outrage.” Members of the Fauquier Association for Retarded Citizens, prospective advocates, and the general public are cordially invited to attend. The meeting will be held in the St. James Episcopal Church in Warrenton. The Citizen Advocacy Program is sponsored by Mental Retardation Services under the auspices of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board which is supported by the citizens of Culpeper. Orange. Madison. Rappahannock, and Fauquier Counties. By definition. Citizen Advocacy for mentally retarded persons is basically a one-to-one relationship between a capable volunteer Workshops Two workshops will be offered in Rappahannock County, beginning next week. A workshop in Effective Communication Skills, starting Tuesday, October 3, will emphasize assertive skills, including dealing positively with stress, expressing feelings appropriately, and increasing listening power. TA for People, starting Monday, October 2, will present the basic concepts of Transactional Analysis, a way of understanding ourselves and others. Among areas to be covered are ego states, games people play, life scripts, and changing life patterns. Each workshop will be held in Sperryville, from 7-9 p.m. for six sessions. The fee for each is S25. The workshops will be led by Barbara Thompson, consultant and counselor, who has a wide background in conducting workshops in communications, assertiveness training, and Transactional Analysis.

All of this occurs within the j frame work of a structured g advocacy system. * Advocates are volunteers ‘ who are trained, guided and I regularly evaluated by , professionals but who are involved in a one-to-one relationship unlike any other. In their own style they help their proteges learn to behave in socially acceptable ways and blend in to social settings. The protege is also evaluated regularly and suggestions regarding what areas need to be worked with are made, but the style and personality of the advocate determine the techniques to be used. Additionally, the advocate acts as a behavior model of his or her protege in situations like eating at a fast-food restaurant, shopping for groceries or hunting for bargains at the discount store.

EARLY'S CARPET SALES & SERVICE ROUTE 211—AMISSVILLE 937-5111 If you prefer not to buy top quality wool carpeting, then it is better to buy a carpet made of acrylic, modacrylic or polyester fibers, rather than a cheap wool. Since these fibers look like wool and have similar qualities, they are a good substitute. Of the fibers mentioned, polyester may be slightly stronger than acrylic or modacrylic. Polypropylene or olefin fibered carpeting is particularly recommended for kitchens because it is non absorbent and easy to clean. The quality of construction is important for this purpose. There are also the so-called novelty natural fibers, such as flax, sisal, jute and straw. Their texture and price make them attractive buys. Much depends upon the particular manufacturer and the quality of the carpet. You can depend on EARLY'S CARPETS, Route 211. Amissville. 347-0700 & 502 N. Main St..

“Energy Day” Set “Energy Day,” October 2nd, will kick off Virginia’s largest campaign to help Virginians decrease their heating costs this winter, according to George L. Jones, Coordinator, State Office of Emergency and Energy Services. “We will have available this fall the most extensive block of energy and money saving programs ever attempted in Virginia. Equally important, the programs primarily will emphasize low cost improvements likely to provide significant returns on investments within a year." Jones said. By dialing a toll-free Energy Hot Line - 1 -800-5523831 - citizens throughout the State can request any of the energy programs. A free computer analysis of energy use in the home and a free packet of “do-ityourself' instructions that take a step-by-step approach to caulking, weatherstripping and insulating will be made available to interested homeowners upon request. Home Energy Cost-Cutting Ginics. which were presented to some 20,000 persons last fall, will again be presented free to groups of 50 or more persons anyplace in the State. And. an Energy Information and Services Center will be available which citizens can call toll free to obtain answers to hundreds of specific energy questions. On “Energy Day." f homeowners and renters will be encouraged to conduct home energy audits by examining their use and waste of energy. For example, most Virginians could save SI00 a year by installing water flow restrictors, by cutting back their hot water heater thermostats, and by generally conserving their use of hot water. All of these steps could be accomplished with little investment and virtually no change in bathing comfort. Persons can receive assistance by calling the Division’s toll-free Energy Hot Line (1-800-552-3831) or by writing the Office of Emergency and Energy Services, 310 Turner Road, Richmond. Va. 23225.

Keep It Covered! Bill Adams, District Conservationist for the Soil Conservation Service, warns of another period of soil erosion coming up. "Bare soil is subject to erosion." says Adams, ‘‘and with the harvest, a lot of acres in Rappahannock County will be bare." Fortunately. Adams says, there are several ways to prevent excessive winter season erosion. “Dead cover is just as good as growing plants for protecting the soil. Corn stalks cut down so they touch and cover the soil are very effective." He continued, ‘‘Double cropping systems that keep a growing crop on the field most of the time are also good." As a final suggestion, he said. “The traditional use of a cover crop for its own sake is a good practice which is being used more." Adams summarized the ways of saving topsoil in winter by saying.

DMV Revenues Up Revenues collected by, the Division of Motor Vehicles during fiscal year 1977-78 were $450 million, up by $28.6 million or 6.8 percent over the previous year, while operating expenses at $30.5 million increased by $1.4 million or 4.8 percent, according to DMV Commissioner Vern L. Hill. Hill said the increased revenue reflected higher consumption of motor fuels and increases in sales tax collections. Revenue from Virginia’s participation in the International Registration Plan, whereby trucks pay fees to Virginia based on the number of miles traveled in the state, contributed $11.5 million, a 70 percent increase. Motor fuels tax revenues were up $10.6 million to $266,294,045 a four per cent increase over the one-year period. At the end of June there were 3.5 million motor vehicles registered in the state and 3.3 million drivers holding valid Virginia licenses. Hill said. DMV revenues are the second largest source of state income. They are deposited in the state Highway Maintenance and Construction Fund. US Spends More In The Cities Federal spending in rural areas has lagged behind in metro areas. A new U.S. Department of Agriculture report on fiscal spending 1976 federal outlays finds that metro areas, with nearly 73 percent of the U.S. population, received more than 76 percent of the $314.5 billion distributed under 700 federal programs selected for the study by the department’s Economics, Statistics, and Cooperatives Service. These programs amounted to about four-fifths of the total federal outlays for that year. Federal spending per person in rural areas averaged $1,271, compared with $1,555 in urban areas. Most of the difference was :iue to higher defense and .pace program spending in metro areas. Excluding expenditures for those programs, per person spending was $1,052 in nonmetro areas and $1,087 in metro areas. Per person outlays were nighest in the West and South, but below average in he Northeastern and North Central region. The study reviews federal .pending for human resource ievelopment, housing, .ommunity and industrial ievelopment, agriculture and latural resources, defense ind space and justice and aw enforcement programs.

Nutrition-Wise An apple is “bulkproducing” so it satisfies your hunger while its natural sugars are easily digested and give "instant energy.” Apples will not only help tone up digestion, but also help keep your cholesterol count down. Because of their beneficial aid to dental health apples are often referred to as “Nature’s tooth brush.” Modest amounts of a number of important nutrients are found in apples. For the diet-conscious, a medium size apple contains only 70 calories. For these reasons and their universal flavor appeal, versatility, convenience and year round availability, nutritionists and dieticians rate them highly.

Candidates Differ On Income Tax Cuts Democrat Lew Fickett | commended U.S. Senator Harry F. Byrd’s Wote against the controversial Kemp-Roth tax proposal, which was cosponsored in the House by Fauquier’s Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson.Republican Robinson, the incumbent congressman for the Seventh District, is being challenged by Fickett, a member of Virginia’s General Assembly from Fredericksburg, in the election Nov. 7. “I’m glad Senator Byrd had the courage to vote against another tax gimmick which would have hurt the average taxpayer by fueling the fires of inflation,” said Fickett. Last week Senator Byrd voted against the Kemp-Roth plan from his seat on the Senate Finance Committee. Rep. Robinson of Winchester said the Kemp-Roth concept would have reduced short-term revenue but the losses "would have been recouped in large measure by healthy, job-generating economic growth flowing from provisions of the bill.” Instead of the Kemp-Roth plan of lowering income tax rates an average of 33 per cent during the next three years, the House approved a less steep $16.3 billion tax cut for taxpayers and business last August. Robinson voted for the bill that passed the House last August, calling it “a step in the right direction." Unfortunately, said Robinson, the $16.3 billion tax cut does nothing "to modify the heavy, impending impact of further increases in the social security tax un Woodville News By JUNE CLARK Rappahannock New* Correspondent Mr. and Mrs. L.

He said the Kemp-Roth plan would have fully offset next year’s new social security tax and the effect of inflation. However, challenger Fickett called Robinson’s support of the Kemp-Roth concept “irresponsible and inflationary. “Once again, my opponent has shown himself to be on the side of the special interests and against the interests of the average working American who is already hard-pressed to keep up with inflation,” said Fickett. Fickett said he supports a meaningful tax cut for the middle-income taxpayer, such as the tax cut proposed in the Coleman-Fisher amendment. “To make a tax cut stick, we must reduce wasteful government spending, not add to the federal deficit,” Fickett said.

He based his estimate that includes a $40 million payroll in new jobs and $25 million spent in Virginia by horsemen from elsewhere on studies of other states where pari-mutuel horse racing is held. Douglas noted that in his estimate, he included $25 million in direct taxes on pari-mutuel wagering which will be equally divided between the state and all Virginia localities. Other revenue, he said, comes from $85 million spent by Virginia horsemen. He noted that in addition to the $265 million year after year, racing is estimated to generate an investment of $300 million in tracks, horses and farms. Douglas maintained that passage of the horse racing referendum in November will bring new income to state and local government that can “help keep the lid on taxes despite inflation.” Boston Area Notes By MRS.

Jackson Front Royal, Va. 635*3055 Park Visits Shenandoah National Park had 291,300 visitors during August, 1978, according to data released by Superintendent Robert Jacobsen. Compared to August, 1977, when 425,000 travelers went through the Park, this shows a decrease of 31.4 percent. For Calendar Year 1978 compared with Calendar Year 1977, the decrease is 40.9 percent. Part of the reported decrease may be attributed to changes in the procedure for counting travel. As of January 1, 1978, a new multiplier (2.8 rather than 3.5) is being used for converting vehicles to visitors and travel on only three secondary roads is being counted. Overnight stays for August numbered 85,905 compared to 113,167 for the same month in 1977. For 1978 to date, overnight stays total 370,687 compared to 443,737 in 1977. The high temperature for August as measured at the Big Meadows Weather Station was 81 degrees. The minimum was 47 degrees. Precipitation for the month amounted to 3.41 inches. ++++ Sometimes it is better to put off until tomorrow what you are likely to botch today. Wool Promotion Program Wool Producers have voted three to one to continue deductions from Commodity Credit Corporation wool incentive payments to finance promotion of wool, according to the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service. The producers voted in a referendum held August 21 through September 1. Preliminary returns show 75.4 percent of the producers favored the advertising and other market development activities which would be continued under a proposed new agreement between the Secretary of Agriculture and the American Sheep Producers Council, Inc. The proposed agreement authorizes continued deductions from payments made under the National Wool Act on wool and unshorn lambs marketed during 1978 through 1981. The new agreemenf authorizes deductions of up to 2'/2 cents a pound on shorn wool and 12‘/2 cents a hundredweight on unshorn lambs, up from l‘A cents and IVi cents respectively. The previous rates had been in effect for 12 years. Last year, the council’s expenditures for wool and lamb promotion were about S2.2 million, the same amount budgeted for the current year. Sheep producers have approved the yool and lamb promotion program by the necessary two-thirds majority in the six referendums held since 1954. The council’s national wool promotion program is run in cooperation with other segments of the industry which provides additional or matching funds. Promotion activities include advertising, merchandising and education. Lamb promotion is concentrated in high lambconsuming areas. The preliminary results for Virginia show that 1198 producers voted with 871 voting for the referendum and 327 against. The production represented by Virginia show' the total number of sheep owned as 81,224 with 62,160 head owned by those voting for the referendum and 19,064 head owned by those voting unfavorable.

Plus the introduction of the world’s first diesel V8 engine (5.7 litres) for passenger cars—available in full-size Oldsmobile models. — And this year, a new state of the art in personal luxury car design, the all-new, front-wheel drive Toronado.
