According to Chief Ranger Larry Hakel. the fire that has burned approximately 300 aerds, to date was brought under control early Tuesday evening only to flare up again around 11 p.m. Although no longer flaming, the fire was still going in a slow smolder as of a week later, Tuesday afternoon, October 31. The fire was first reported at noon on October 24 by Barbara Day of Woodville and Mary Kay Deluise of Amissville. The two women had hiked up Old Rag and, according to Mrs. Day, were congratulating themselves on finding the mountain tourist free when they noticed smoke. Thinking initially that it came from a campfire, they yelled hello to Ure'4thec_, hikers they expected to find. When they heard no answering yell, they checked the site where the smoke was rising and found a small fire among the rocks at the ridge top. The two women tried to put the fire out with dirt but were forced to abandon their efforts when the soil proved too hot to pick up with bare hands. Running whenever possible, they raced down Old Rag and called county forester Lyt Wood. After phoning in a report to Park Authorities, Wool climbed the mountain with the two women, all three carrying fire fighting tools. “No Immediate Danger’1 According to Wood, they reached the fire at about 2 p.m. to find it smoldering over an area of between six and eight yards. The fire was located right by the hiking . trail, close to a natural rock formation that resembles a stairway. Wood, Day and DeLuise weren’t able to do anything to contain the fire. “There was no place to put a fire line . . . The gound was too rocky,” said Wood. He also noted that without power saws, they were unable to cut i down any of the dead trees that might have caught, fallen and spread the fire further. Wood emphasized, however, that the fire presented “no immediate danger” when he viewed it at 2 p.m. on Tuesday. Wood said he returned down the moutain, meeting three Park Rangers with power saws and equipment on their way up. According to Ranger Hakel, his men found “a small fire, only a few feet square" when they reached the ridge. They put the fire out and left. Later, around 11 p.m., the Park started receiving reports of flames sighted on Old Rag. When Rangers climbed the peak, they found three or four outbreaks of fire above the original sight. ‘‘We suspect arson," Hakel stated in a phone interview October 31. The only other possibility—“and we haven’t ruled this out”—is that the new outbreaks were caused by several carelessly tossed cigarettes, said Hakel. County Forester Lyt Wood agreed with Hakel’s assessment. “Judging from the small area that I found 1 smoldering, I don't think it spread naturally,” said Wood. He noted that the fire probably first started from a hiker’s carelessly tossed cigarette but concurred with Hakel that the second (Continued on Page 3) Surveying For Sperryville Sewer Completed By UArHlNE HUTCH INSON RippakaioHi Km Suit Wrtnr Survey work for the new Sperryville sewer system has been completed according to Maurice Biddle, Chairman of the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority. Red flagged stakes mark the location of sewer lines and a copy of the course of lines will soon be posted in the Sperryville Post Office. Biddle said that his work schedule calls for the Polls Open 6 a.m.-7 p.m. For the General Election November 7, polls in the county will open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. The only change in polling locations from the last election is in Woodville. Voters in that precinct will cast their ballots in a trailer located approximately 100 yards off of Route 522 on to Route 618 south. Warner In County Republican Senatorial candidate John Warner will be at the court house in Washington at 2 p.m. on Friday, November 3, to meet county residents during a final campaign swing prior to the November 7 election. Virginia Senator Harry Byrd's son Tom will accompany Warner. completion of final plans and specifications by January 15, 1979. These must be approved by both the federal Environmental Protection Agency and Virginia’s State Water Control Board, before construction begins, said Biddle, estimating that approval will be received within 90 days, after submission. "But that's a real happy estimate,” he admitted. Biddle noted that he’d originally expected phase I design approval by August. Instead, the sewer system was delayed 15 months at the outset awaiting word from EPA. “The last time I made an estimate, it took exactly five times as long,” he recalled. Biddle’s time table sets April 15, 1979, as the estimated time for the $800,000 construction job to go out on bids. Construction will take about one year. Biddle reported that letters from the Water and Sewer Authority have been sent to all residences in the town that do not have bathrooms. If the owners meet income guidelines, they are eligible for "practically interest free” loans to install indoor plumbing, said Biddle. The loans from the Department of Housing and Urban Development will be repaid over a long enough period so that they will end up costing the borrowers only about 14 cents above normal monthly user fees, he noted. The main sewer line will begin at Jimmy Swindler's Mountain Manor Gift Shop Girl, 13, Missing; $500 Reward Offered A $500 reward is being offered for any information leading to the whereabouts and return home of Dina Sue Cook who has been missing from her home in Orlean since Sept. 16.

Since the introduction of the agricultural programs, Charlie has improved his farm with permanent vegetative cover, underground drainage ditches and has used no-till technology. The Compton's have about sixty Angus brood cows and they raise the steer calves to approximately 800 pounds before marketing. They raise and sell a hundred head of swine, most of which goes to Shen-Valley Meat Packers at Timberville, of which Mr, Compton was a director.

CONGRESSMAN Two candidates are on the voting machine for election to the US House of Representatives, Democrat Lewis P. Fickett Jr. and Republican incumbent J. Kenneth Robinson. Their candidacies are detailed in a separate story in this edition. Robinson-Fickett Race: Ends Similar, Means Differ By LINDA B. KINES \run«H Vnupapm % filer In the sprawling 7th Congressional District, the Republican incumbent from Winchester echoes advocacy of less federal government, less regulation, less federal spending, a balanced budget and a stronger national defense. The Democratic challenger from Fredericksburg calls his opponent a member of the Washington power elite who doesn't represent the interests of the average citizen. Seventh District Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson, 62, officially kicked off his campaign for reelection Tuesday to a fifth term about a month before the 95th Congress adjourned, in October. A millionaire orchardist and businessman in Frederick County, Robinson vowed to return to “focus on the need to adbpt more practical policies than the liberals running Washington have been willing to provide with respect to energy, agriculture, national defense, needed tax reduction, and reducing the size and cost of government to curb inflation." Robinson is a graduate of Virginia Tech with a degree in horticulture. A conservative, Robinson said he is part of a minority in Congress meeting the political challenge ‘‘of those longtime ultra-liberals now posturing as conservatives in the wake of the nationwide taxpayers’ revolt. ‘‘We need more conservatives in Washington to support the positive alternatives that have been offered, not fewer," said Robinson, who resounds with criticism about the “present liberal-controlled Congress" and seldom mentions the existence of a challenger for his seat. Robinson said his schedule allowed no time to debate his opponent. He seeks an image of service to his constituency in the 7th District, which takes in more territory than the state of New Jersey and stretches from the northernmost limits of the state to the suburbs of Richmond. Democrat Lewis P. Fickett Jr., 52, is a three-term member of Virginia’s House of Delegates from the 24th Legislative District who “fought to abolish the fuel adjustment clause and to stop unfair utility rate increases. "The big utilities and big oil companies have lots of friends in Washington," said Fickett of his intent to broaden his fight for utility reform to the national level, "and it's time the consumers had a friend in Congress to fight for them.” Fickett, a political soience teacher at Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg and a part-time lawyer who holds several degrees from Harvard University, campaigns as an advocate for utility reform, 100 per cent parity for the family farmer, and tax relief for the “working American and senior citizens.” Fickett characterizes Robinson as a friend of big oil companies, big utilities, giant agribusiness corporations, and the “special interests which contribute large amounts of money to his campaigns.” In Virginia’s conservative tradition, Fickett speaks in favor of tax reduction, limited government spending, a hard line on crime, tougher national defense including development of the neutron bomb and B-l bomber, a “meaningful tax cut" tor the average voter, and quality working conditions for educators. He criticized the 95th Congress for passing the energy and tax bills that were made law. "It's typical of Robinson's anti-consumer attitude to vote for fraudulent legislation like these two bills." said Fickett. Robinson himself often characterizes the federal government as out of touch with the "silent majority" of citizens. Notice All county and state offices will be closed Tuesday.

Tree Seedlings Available My LIT WOOD County Forester We are now accepting orders for tree seedlings for planting in February, March, and April 1979. The Virginia Division of Forestry produces seedlings at the Augusta Forestry Center, and sells them at cost of production.. As an incentive for reforestation on private land, forest industry will pay one half of the cost of pine seedlings in some cases. These seedlings are produced for purposes of reforestation of cutover land, old field plantations, Christmas tree production, wildlife habitat, and soil conservation. They cannot be used for ornamental, “screening,” or shade tree plantings. Trees which are planted in this area for timber production include white pine and loblolly pine, (due to seedling crop failures, yellow poplars and black walnuts will not be available this season). Wildlife habitat can be established or improved by planting persimmon, sawtooth oak, bicolor lespedeza, autumn olive, and bristly locust. Species suitable for Christmas trees are white pine and Scotch pine. The best soil stabilizers are Virginia pine, black locust, and bicolor lespedeza. Order forms can be obtained from my office (P. O. Box 148, Madison, Va. 22727). Where assistance is needed, I can take a look at the prospective planting site and make suggestions as to species, spacing, number of trees needed, etc. Also, I can usually line up some local crews to do the planting work on tracts that are 3 acres or larger. Cutover areas, and areas with a-'heavy sod or brush cover will require some sort of treatment to clear the area prior to planting. Christmas trees and hardwood plantings require special care (pruning, shearing, and-or mowing around the trees). Therefore, if you are considering planting trees for any of these situations, it would be best to request a planting site examination. Plantings for erosion control and timber production will often qualify for state or federal government cost-sharing, which will reimburse 50 per cent (sometimes more or less) of the planting costs. Due to our large backlog of planting site preparation and other work, we will not be able to take care of planting site examination requests right away. So make your request early! Seedling supplies will be limited later in the planting season.

Only One-quarter Inch Rain In October After four months of a growing season to delight anyone engaged in agriculture, Rappahannock County now finds itself in the grip of drought once again. According to readings taken at Miss Ruby Jenkins’ weather station in the town of Washington, September brought 1.02 inches of rain in 1978 compared to 3.8 inches last year, October, 1977, saw 4 inches of rain fall in Washington. This year, during October only\ .23 inches have hit the ground. One of the county’s senior orchardists reported that this is the first time in memory that apple picking crews have worked the entire harvest season without missing a day because of rain, according to VPI Extension Agent Rap Owings. r Although the lack of precipitation may have made life easier for Rappahannock orchardists, it has caused problems with other agricultural enterprises in the county. In the Flint Hill area, said Owings, the dry weather joined forces with grasshoppers to practically ruin the season’s last crop of hay. He noted that pastures •are down, requiring farmers to begin feeding hay stocks sooner. Owings added that streams have dropped to the point where there’s concern over having sufficient water for livestock. In Washington, the water shortage continues. Residents are asked to conserve as much as possible and to refrain from washing cars and other non-essential water uses.

Arson Is Suspected In Old Rag Fire (Continued from Page 1) outbreak late Tuesday night was probably caused by an arsonist. Fire, Investigation Continuing Park Superintendent Robert Jacobson reported on Tuesday, October 31, that the arson investigation was continuing. "We’re making an effort to find clues on the ignition and who it was that may have done this," said Jacobsen. Meanwhile, the fire burns on. According to Hakel, approximately 300 acres of woodland have been destroyed already. The fire area has not yet been finally mapped. However, Hakel estimated that the mortality rate of trees in the vicinity would amount to only one percent, at the most. He explained that the fire was a surface blaze, burning primarily in downed wood, needles, grass and leaves on the forest floor. Hakel said he expected the fire to continue until rain fell, adding that it would be kept under surveilance around the clock until it was put out completely. “We’ve done all we can to contain the fire," he said. “We’ve had crews there from Shenandoah Park and from George Washington National Forest . . . We've had as many as fifty men on the peak at one time and as iVllOH nHU Comedy w PETER FRAMPTON THE BEE GEES ■ h SGT PEPPER'S I ; LOKELY HEARTS CLUB BAND" "Foul Play" ipgi many as 100 there in' a 24hour period.” According to Hakel, changing 40 mile-per-hour winds from every direction hampered fire fighting efforts on Tuesday night and Wednesday. “It was very hard to hold the fire at anything but natural barriers,” he maintained. “We had explosive fire conditions." Hakel reported that a separate fire also broke out on Sunday on the opposite side of Old Rag near White Oak Canyon. The second fire, he said, was contained after burning only 30 acres. He attributed the success in controlling the blaze to the availability of water from a near-by stream. Hakel acknowledged that the second fire was also still burning as of Tuesday. The Park's current approach with both fires is to keep them contained within the present fire lines, according to Hakel. He explained that dead, burned trees are being dropped along with soil spread at the fire line and 100 yards into the interior of the burning area. "But there’s little we can do in the interior." Hakel admitted. He said that falling leaves were adding to containment difficulties by rekindling and creating “a reburn situation.” Hake! acknowledged that it was possible to use helicopters or bombers to drop fire retardents but added that this type of attack was expensive and had only limited application. According to the Chief Ranger, the canopy of trees over most of Old Rag would prevent the fire retardents from reaching the burning surface. He explained that retardents are more effective ; when the tops of trees are burning. Hakel reported that a helicopter had been used in the Old Rag effort but for detection purposes only. In regard to funding for fire fighting efforts at Shenandoah National Park, Hakel explained this was handled through the Park’s Washington office. Fire fighting is not a budget item for Shenandoah. Instead, bills for combating fires are sent directly to the Washington office and paid from there. Contrary to rumors, said Hakel, the Park is not reimbursed for any percentage of fire fighting costs. Sewer Survey (Continued from Page 1) part of Clifford Miller’s Mt. Vernon Farm. Using a system much like that installed in the town of Warrenton, sewage will be aerated in the 50,000 gallon capacity lagoon, using pipes laid along the bottom to bubble oxygen up through the effluent. The facility should produce virtually no odors as the treatment is aerobic—a process of digestion with oxygen. It is anaerobic treatment—digestion without oxygen similar to the process Amissville Volunteer Fire Department HAM and TURKEY DINNER With All The Trimmings SAT., NOV. 11,1978 5 P.M. to 7:30 P.M.

After aeration, the effluent will be further treated with chlorine before discharge into the Thornton. Theoretically, the final product should be pure enough to drink. Because the five acre lagoon site is in a flood plain, the lagoon will not be excavated. Instead, it will be built up with a dike to protect the system from flooding. The site will also be fenced and screened from view. Col. Biddle noted that the approved facilities plan—a massive volume at least two inches thick—included studies on soil and groundwater, federal and state waste treatment regulations, environmental and historical aspects of the treatment site and geological testing. “We’re working closely with the State Water Control Board (on the sewage treatment project) and everything we’ve done has been approved by them,’’ Biddle concluded.

RfAlTOR aJl PRICING YOUR HOUSE RIGHT I The value of your house is not what you think it is - or what the buyer thinks. It is determined chiefly by the location, the neighborhood, and the current market. An overpriced house sitting on the market for months becomes almost impossible to sell. So first, you must get in line with the market. That means a realistic appraisal. Nobody - but nobody - is more acutely aware of the current housing market than your local Realtor. A capable Realtor can bring in his own appraisal expert or even a team of salesmen who will individually price your home and then reach a fair concensus. Or you can hire a qualified independent appraiser. You may be pleasantly surprised to find out that you were intending to price your house for less than its fair market value. If possible, your price should include curtains, draperies, refrigerator, air-conditioners, dishwasher, built-ins. It’s a better package deal and may hasten the sale.

Trott attended the University of North Carolina and earned a Masters Degree in Botany. He has traveled all over the United States as well as to Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago in his search for bird lore and photographs. For 13 years, Trott and his wife Lenore founded and ran the Burgundy Center for Wildlife Studies near Capon Bridge, W. Va. This resident program for 11 to 15-yearolds concentrated on exploring the natural world from both the scientific and aesthetic viewpoint. Several outstanding ornithologists, botanists, environmentalists and teachers began their training at Trott's Burgundy Center. His photographs appear in the recent publication. The Audubon Society Book Of Wild Birds. Besides other hardback publications. Trott’s photographs have appeared in periodicals such as “Audubon Magazine." “American Heritage.’' "American Birds" and “America Illustrated" as well as National Geographic publications. Trott and his wife live in a log house on a heavily wooded tract in McLean. It is there that he does most of his work, sitting for hours in a blind to capture a bird as he has perceived it—vital,_m— tensely alive and beautiful. "I'm hard to classify but I like the 1 Gth century term, naturalist, which implies interest in all areas of the natural world and the idea of sharing the element of discovers in that world.'' Trott explained. "The term 'naturalist' also suggests a seeking and searching—and the realization that there arc wonderful mvsteries in every flower and bird."

Inc. --- THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2,1978 i For Senator Andrew Miller # Andrew Miller, Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, has worked for the people of Virginia for seven years as Attorney General. Based on his record of service and knowledge of state issues, the Rappahannock News endorses Miller in his race against Republican John Warner. Miller knows the people of the state. He recognizes that Virginia is very diverse, that different sections have different priorities. He will be able to adequately represent urbanites of Northern Virginia, coal miners from southwest and orchardists and farmers from Rappahannock. During his term as Attorney General, Miller fought government waste and red tape. Hell continue that battle in the Senate, pushing for review of federal programs and departments and for reduction ip government spending coupled with substantial tax cuts. J Miller’s position on land use should be of particular importance to Rappahannock County. While both candidates have stated their opposition to federal land use controls, only Miller has maintained that this power should lie with the state AND local government. Warner would see it lie entirely with the state. Andrew Miller will do the better job for Virginia and for Rappahannock County as our representative in the United States Senate. For Representative J. Kenneth Robinson During his 10 years in the United States House of Representatives, Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson has been a good friend to the people of Rappahannock County. Accessible to his constituents. Robinson has never been farther away than a phone call from anyone—Republican or Democrat—in the 7th Congressional District. It has made no difference whether a resident's problem has been large or small. The Congressman has been as attentive to snags in the issuing of a passport as he has been in dealing with concern over national park land acquisition policy. He’s been a friend to local government as well. Robinson is largely responsible for a revision in federal law that will leave Rappahannock county coffers $ 14,000 richer next year. Rappahannock County expected to get $22,000 last year under a federal program that provides payments in lieu of taxes on national park land. But in stead of $22,000, the county ended up with $6,000—thanks to a technicality that allowed only land passed directly from the tax rolls to public ownership to be considered for payment. This interpretation meant that land for Shenandoah National Park acquired by the state for transfer to U.S. ownership was not eligible for “in lieu” payments. Robinson co-sponsored a bill to correct the oversight. Already signed by President Carter, the bill confers eligibility for “in lieu” payments on all of Shenandoah Park within Rappahannock’s borders. In any gathering of ten people or more, there’s usually ong person who’s been helped by the Congressman’and his staff. Or, at the very least, someone in the group knows someone else who’s received assistance. It is on this basis that the Rappahannock News endorses J. Kenneth Robinson in his bid for a six consecutive term in the House of Representatives. Referendum On Tuesday, Rappahannock voters will decide whether to allow liquor by the drink to be sold in restaurants in the county. We support a “yes” vote on this issue. Allowing mixed drinks to be served here will not mean a rash of sleazy bars on every street comer. If the option passes on November 7, restaurants will have to meet strict state licensing requirements before the first cocktail is poured. Under Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Board regulations, a restaurant has to prove its main business is serving food to the public. not booze. Food must be in the form of meals and the ABC Board is particular over what it considers to be a meal—pizzas don’t count and neither do sandwiches. In addition the ABC Board has set a minimum seating capacity for establishments that serve cocktails. We feel that state regulations are strong enough to control any abuses. This is not alcoholism or public drunkeness we’re supporting but the right to have a cocktail with dinner out at a restaurant in Rappahannock. The Right To Choose Virginians cannot say that the proposal on the ballot Nov. 7 to allow parimutuel horse racing in the state is a proposal sprung on the electorate suddenly, or one for which there has not been sufficient time for study. The record shows that a horse racing bill was introduced in the General -Assembly as early as 1928—50 years ago. Basically, what the 1978 proposition allows, if voters agree, is for localities down the road to vote in due time whether they want a race track or not. Approval of the referendum has an obvious advantage. It will enhance a local industry—the breeding, training and racing of horses at home. They are bred and trained here now, and then must be vanned to other states to race. The disadvantages that some see have been thoroughly explored. Parimutuel racing, the opponents maintain, would encourage gambling. There is also a possibility, they maintain, that parimutuel racing would attract criminal offtrack betting activity. Yet other states—and Delaware is an example—have been able to operate splendid racing program; with not a hint of corruption or scandal. So why shouldn’t Virginia try? There is another particular advantage, if the referendum is approved, to communities like Rappahannock County. Any encouragement to agriculture—and the breeding of horses is an agricultural pursuit—will help maintain our horse farms and our beloved open space. So, Tuesday’s question is not whether we should allow horse racing right here. It is whether other communities in Virginia should have the opportunity some time in the future to vote on that question. The parimutuel bill, therefore, if only from the standpoint of individual freedom of choice, deserves the support of voters Tuesday. Energy CostSaving Tips Use leaa water.

Do we? Let’s look at the four arguments published in favor of this gambling scheme. 1. New Revenue*. From where? The money bet has to come from the pockets of Virginians who’ve earned it the hard way, or from the pockets of out-of-state residents lured into the Commonwealth to gamble. That is a form of “tourism” we can do without. There is not in this scheme an iota of new production of real goods or socially needed services which we can honorably tax. We simply rob weak Peters to pay cynical Pauls and put money in the pockets of future mobsters. But Paul’s tax burden will continue to climb; where has it been reduced..by accepting legalized gambling into his community? The politicians who favor legalized gambling are playing their old game: “Take it away from them where they won’t see you doing it". 2. “13,000 New Jobs”. Even accepting the number, these “new jobs” would be just about as useful to our economy as adding 13,000 new malingering bureaucrats to our public payroll. What will these new employees produce that is useful or needed for the economy of this Commonwealth? They will simply become the instrument by which the hardearned savings of some are transferred very rapidly to the pockets of others who shun honest work to get it there. The sympathetic concern of these people over our tax burden and unemployment rate brings tears to my eyes! 3. Local option on parimutuel betting later. This argument reaches some sort of nadir for cynical, hypocritical thinking. It can be translated into honest English like this: “Even if you think that legalized gambling is immoral or socially destructive, vote “yes” on November 7th so you can still take advantage later on of the evil and folly jn other communities.” And the proponents have the nerve to refer to Virginia’s “Great State Traditions"! 4. “Strict Regulations” to prevent infiltration by organized crime. This is the killer, in the writer's opinion. Precisely because the proponents promise something they absolutely cannot deliver. Proponents of legalized gambling have promised this in every jurisdiction where the issue has come before the voters. We have only to watch the news on TV or read our papers to see how miserably the promise has been kept. It will not be kept in Virginia. The gambling game attracts easy money criminals like manure attracts flies. Even the proponents recognize and admit this; otherwise why do they go to such lengths to allay our fears over it? And, once in, these gentlemen will not confine themselves to the horse racing game. They never do. We have “strict penalties" in this Commonwealth against a lot of things which go on night and day. The voter in Rappahannock, in my opinion, should not set such a shabby example for young sons and J daughters by voting “yes" to pari-mutuel betting. Next Tuesday we need to legalize pari-mutuel betting about as much as we need to legalize dope or abortion on demand. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Box 4-C Route 647 Flint Hill, Va. Bill Precludes Park Trades To the editor: I read with interest the editorial in the issue of Thursday, October 19, 1978, concerning the bill I have introduced (H. R. 14225) proposing to freeze the authorized boundaries of Shenandoah National Park at their existing boundaries. The editorial indicated an understanding that such a bill would not address the matter of trades of park land for land presently in private hands. I submit that my bill would forestall any such trade. The bill states, in part, "that the authorized area of Shenandoah National Park in Virginia shall consist only of those lands, comprising approximately 194,000 acres, to which title is vested in the United States in fee simple of the date of enactment of this Act +++”. Were this the law, there would be no authority to acquire any additional land for Shenandoah National Park—by purchase, trade or otherwise—except as might be provided by some subsequent act of Congress. My purpose in sponsoring this bill is to require that any future proposal of the National Park Service to add land to the park would have to be justified on its own merits to the responsible committees of Congress. Any technical correction in the language of my bill necessary to accomplish its intended purpose could be worked out in Committee, and my intention is to seek public committee hearings. J. KENNETH ROBINSON Lions Appreciate To the editor: Thanks to our many friends and good neighbors, the Rappahannock Lions Club was completely "sold out” of homemade apple butter, apple sauce, and local honey at our weekend sales stand. This, coupled with a brisk sale of apples and fruit cakes, gave us our most successful sale in the 21 year history of Lionism in Rappahannock County. We appreciate your patronage and support for our charitable work, and look forward to a great year of service to our community. H. W. HOLSCHUH President Rappahannock Lions Club Robinson Defended To the editor: As Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson’s Campaign Chairman, I would like to correct certain misrepresentations of his record being presented by his opponent. Professor Fickett, and through letters to the Editors from the latter’s supporters. What is Ken Robinson's record with regard to the retired and elderly of Virginia and the nation? He has received a 92 per cent rating from the independent National Alliance of Senior Citizens, an independent organization which rates members of Congress on their votes on matters of direct concern to them. He tias voted for more than a 50 per cent increase in Social Security benefits, he has iponsored and worked hard For legislation to remove the penalty placed on those on Social Security, who choose o work to supplement the neager benefits they receive ind on which it is nearly mpossible to live! He has >eriodically hired a senior itizen intern to advise him m problems of elder Americans and solutions to them. He has waged a steady battle against government spending and inflation, the twin scourges of those on fixed income. His concern for these people has been demonstrated time and again, in acts not empty words. On the other hand his opponent quotes a group known as the National Council of Sr. Citizens, which gave Robinson a low rating. That group is the brain child of an eld AFL-CIO organizer, now a member of, the Carter administration, who rates members of Congress ovt their votes on issues that affect labor bosses, not the elderly. They, for instance, rate a vote to remove th<; penalty on senior citizens w'ho wish to work as a wrong one. Labor bosses do not want older Americans competing in the job market, no matter how dire their circumst ances may be. It is understandable that the opposition would use the above, since nearly all of his major campaign contributions have come from big, out of state, organized unions. He is labor bought and sold. Finally, Ken Robinson has voted for energy legislation which would encourage the development of more energy sources of all kinds, and which would remove our budget breaking dependence on Arab oil. Fickett, I assume, would support Carter’s bill which would tax .every drop of oil or gas we use, would not develop one gallon more of fuel, and , would return some of the collected taxes to those below an income level—after the federal bureaucracy took its cut, of course. The' above is only two of many efforts to twist the record by Robinson’s challenger, who is also busy trying to portray himself as a conservative instead of the liberal he is. I work regularly with him in the General Assembly and know him well. Don’t be fooled by sucb opportunism! RAYMOND R. ’’ANDY’’ GUEST JR. Front Royal

Pari-mutuel Betting —The Pros oy jajiuha M. MASSIE R appall an nork Nrw, Sprci.l Write, There has been much of late, both printed and spoken, in the news about the Pari-Mutuel question on the ballot November 7. Both proponents and opponents have argued a sometimes heated battle. The end result has been some confusion and question in the minds of the voter. This confusion is understandable, but time is short and those questions should be answered now. The issue is basically simple. Horse racing is a business which employs many thousands of people, depends on many suppliers, and caters to the public. It is the largest spectator sport in the United States and has held that distinction for over a quarter of a century. The horse breeding industry is the ultimate supplier for the racing industry. While Virginia has a good, strong breeding industry, its market for race horses is totally out-of-state. Millions upon millions of dollars travel across Virginia’s borders every year to horsemen and spectators alike. Thousands of potential jobs are non-existent because those horses and monies are f1 " ——— going to Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, New York, and on and on. Taxes are constantly rising because no new sources of taxation and revenue are available. The law enforcement agencies are faced with trying to enforce antigambling laws and crack down on illegal gambling. These problems can be solved wtm tne passage ot the Pari-Mutuel Referendum. Estimates have been made as to the potential economic boost to Virginia. These estimates are founded on solid research, using information from states with racing which are comparable to Virginia. The basic facts are: 1) $265 million per year will flow into Virginia’s economy with PariMutuel; 2) 13,000 new jobs will be created; 3) $25 million will be taken into the state treasury every year after two major tracks are in operation; 4) half of that $25 million will be returned to every locality (regardless of whether or not they have pari-mutuel), based on population; and 5) the local option provision permits each locality to vote separately and make its own decision on Pari-Mutuel at the next Paid Political Advertisement CE,C 332K / was appointed Clerk of the Rappahannock County Circuit Court August 1, 1977 and have been serving in that capacity since that time.

The $265 million dollar figure includes a $40 million payroll for the 13,000 new jobs, $85 million in expendutures by Virginia horsemen, and $25 million by out of state horsemen. Over 4,200 horses race out of Virginia now which represents $43 million in board paid currently out of state. This expenditure does not include other payments to veterinarians, blacksmiths and the like. With two tracks in operation, 40 tons qf hay, 60 tons of straw, and 70 tons of grain will be required each day at the tracks. This means that Virginia farmers will have to expand their production by 40,000 acres to keep up with demand for hay alone. The two tracks will pay taxes to local and state governments which will repay one hundredfold the cost required in fire protection and similar services. The tracks in Charles Town, West Virginia employ 5,500 people and are responsible for one million visitors a year. Virginia can and will do much better than that with its bigger horse industry. There is a section in the bill which provides for a "Limited License”. This means that the Point-toPoints and Steeplechase meets can have pari-mutuel if so desired by the locality and generate revenues to each area before any major tracks are constructed. The Pari-Mutuel bill which has been passed by the General Assembly and signed by the Governor, has been called by other states “one of the toughest bills in America”. Everything from the setting up of a Racing Commission to the licensing of a track, to the granting of permits to work at a track has been spelled out in great detail. It is this attention to detail and the faith in the integrity of our elected representatives that gives this bill its strength and quality. One final point is the philosophical question of the right to wager at a track. The prohibition of gambling in Virginia is a subject for much debate. This is not the place for such a debate, but a fundamental question should be asked. Is it right and proper that Virginians should not be allowed to make up their own minds on whether or not to place a bet? This writer feels that such restrictions are wrong and that they violate our basic freedoms. Everyone should be able to decide for themselves what they can and cannot do as far as this question is concerned. As if all the other reasons previously cited were not enough to vote “yes” for pari-mutuel, the opportunity to protect our basic freedoms is reason enough. A “yes” vote will help the state in many ways, but one thing must be pointed out. Passage of the referendum of November 7, will not permit pari-mutuel in Virginia. That question must be resolved in local elections with local option. A “yes” vote will allow your fellow Virginians to make up their own minds at the next general election. This too is a basic right and Virginians should not deny themselves this right by voting against this referendum.

The Cons By DIANA BIRD Hippiiwodt News S^edal Writer In horse country, full of horse lovers and persons interested in performing horses, one finds strange an expressed need for parimutuel betting to make horse displays successful. From what I have heard about the point-to-point races and what I read of a recent local polo match, official betting on the winners hasn’t been necessary to draw crowds, I heard a radio commentator on sports discussing, in connection 'with prize fighting, the role money plays in all professional sports (and in unprofessional ones as well?) in our society. Is it true that the enthusiasm of U.S. citizens for sports is so jaded that joy in watching contests, and in participating in them is so questionable that without heavy profits weighing in the balance, sports would fail? The most compelling reason to protest parimutuel betting is that gamblers and gambling instincts are not individuals or character traits to encourage. Governments should not be in the business of sponsoring them. While it is one thing for the government to try to regulate private "victimless” immorality, it is quite another for government to actively promote pursuits that at best can be tolerated and at worst can result in personal or family or other disaster. Witness the demise of Governor Marvin Mandel in Maryland. A gambler essentially wants something for nothing, or for very little. A gambler hopes that through chance, the world can be made beautiful and strange. A study of the attitudes of poor people in the book Low Income Life Styles reveals that among the poor there is prevelant a belief that their lives are not in their own hands; planning and taking responsibility are of no use, and if something good is going to happen, it will be by a stroke of luck, fate or chance. This attitude may be justified on the part of the long-term, chronically poor, living in an exclusively poverty-ridden milieu. It isn’t an attitude which makes wholesome society possible and it should not be the part of government to foster it. What could be more cynical than a government leveying taxes among the poor or the middle class, by way of lotteries and betting institutions, encouraging people to throw their money away on the hope of a chance win? No one is trying to stop individuals from betting among themselves. One can argue that betting is voluntary and therefore not a tax, but it is equally true that most taxes are voluntary— property, cars, telephones are voluntarily -t—l—t—tHouses cost so much nowadays that mobile homes make up about 16 per cent of new one-family housing, reports the National Geographic Society.

Liquor and other luxury indulgences are voluntary, and yes, even work is voluntary, as the unemployed well know. Most taxes are avoidable if a person is determined to avoid them. At the same time, if the state’s need for money must depend upon its encouragement of what is essentially a vice, gambling, where would one ask the government to draw a line when it comes to fund raising? A state lottery? Casinoes at Virginia Beach? (That issue is being voted on in Florida.) State operated adult book shops and movies? Licensed prostitution? (I once had a visitor from Germany who wondered why we didn’t have that.) If it will earn money, should any questions be asked? If so, by whom and on what basis? If a final argument against parimutuel betting, and hence professional horse racing is called for, it is that professional racing is a cruel, exploitative and destructive sport that only the blindly sentimental would claim is carried on by horse lovers. I am reminded of a quotation of William Buckley which recently appeared in the paper concerning his now broken long-standing relationship with Peter Starr: “I have that special affection (for Peter) I reserve for people who make me a million dollars." In the same way, horse racers must have a “special affection” for their animals. The ultimate argument, “West Virginia does it; why should they get all our money?” makes me wonder if these people are the ones who say to their children, “Don't think for yourself. Don’t live by your own standards. What’s good enough for Johnny, is good enough for you. Follow the crowd. Restaurant Sperryville, Va.

Main St., Culpeper By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Germans invaded the town of Washington on Monday, armed with cameras and sound equipment to film a news broadcast scheduled for air play on television station ARD Wednesday, November 1. But Rappahannock residents who were Interviewed for the program won’t get a chance to watch themselves perform unless their reception is nothing short of miraculous. ARD is not a local affiliate of ABC, NBC or CBS or a public television station. Instead, it’s one of the two noncommercial German networks and will broadcast the segment filmed in Washington from Cologne, West Germany. The theme of the threeminute news short is small town America’s attitude towards the November 7 elections. Correspondent Lothar Loewe also gathered a sampling of opinion on major issues facing Americans, the effectiveness of President Carter’s recently announced plan to curb inflation and the overall performance of the gentleman from Georgia during his two years in office. But why pick the town of Washington? After all, it’s certainly not the most typical community on the East Coast. According to Loewe, Scotty Reston of the New York Times suggested Rappahannock’s county seat for the filming. Apparently, as a cross-the-mountain neighbor with a parttime residence at Fiery Run in Fauquier, Reston has been impressed by the country’s first Washington. But although Washington certainly must be considered important, the town wasn’t responsible for bringing a crew all the way across the Atlantic Ocean. Loewe along with cameraman Rolf Schmechel, soundman Juergen Fraedrich and freelancer Doug MeCash are based in Washington, D. C. Schmechel and Fraedrich have been assigned to the capital for five years where they have coveted stories ranging from the White House to a month on a U. S. aircraft carrier. Apparently, the average German is much more interested in what's going on in the U. S. than the average American cares about events in Germany. According to McCash, the crew sends minute-and-a-half filmed broadcasts of "hard news” back to their home land by plane or satellite on an almost daily basis. Regularly, longer segments similar to the human interest short filmed here are done and at least twice a year, the crew SHERIFF W. A. BUNTIN was interviewed by correspondent Lothar Loewe as Roll Schmechel and Juergen r raednch captured the county’s top law enforcement officer on film and tape for German television news Loewe collected opinions from a wide segment of the community including store keeper and Supervisor Clarence Baldwin Mayor Newb.ll Miller, postmaster Carol Miller, Jack Carney, George Share, Jim Massie.

Washington, D. C. is not the only U. S. assignment drawn by German TV crews from the two non-commercial networks. Cameramen, soundmen and correspondents take tours of duty in New York as well as in other foreign cities, including Paris and Moscow. "But Washington is the jewel in the crown,”. commented Fraedrich. Loewe’s questions didn't exactly elicit controversial responses from Rappahannockers. When asked what Washington residents were talking about just a week before the elections. Sheriff W. A. Buntin replied “the leaves and the traffic.” The highlight of the day as far as the Germans were concerned must have been the visit to Washington Mayor Newbill Miller. They found the burgermeister hard at work, harvesting his corn crop with a German tractor. “That must be the only German tractor in the county." said Loewe. “No." laughed Miller. "I imagine that you’ll And almost half of the tractors bought here in the last five years are German-made.” He told the TV crew that replacement parts are easy to get and praised the workmanship of his five-year-old model, adding that he expected it to last him at least ten more years.

This yellow-skinned fruit turned soft and orange after being ripened by the frost and can be gathered until Christmas. Store persimmons in a plastic bag in the crisper section of the refrigerator. To prepare for use, wash and cut in half to remove the seeds and cut off the blossom end. To obtain a creamy consistency for use in puddings, chop finely or blend for 10 seconds. Prepare the pulp and have it ready before beginning the recipe. Any extra pulp may be frozen for use later. Persimmons are easier to handle if chilled first. To use in salad, peel by rubbing the skin with the blunt edge of a paring knife and then peeling with the blade. Two recipes for persimmons follow. 1 have several more, if interested call the Extension Office 6753619.
