Virginia Phone 075-3349 20' 25219 ) Eva Smith Named Citizen Of The Year EVA L. SMITH of Flint Hill, who has been employed in the Rappahannock County Clerk’s Office for 18 years, has retired as of the end of December. However, she will remain for two weeks until the year’s-end book work is done and will also help occasionally when there is need. She was honored by fellow employees and other co-workers with a roastretirement party Friday evening at the home of Judge and Mrs. R. V. Snead at Washington. Mrs. Smith was presented an engraved silver goblet and a gold signet ring. John W. Warner of Atoka took the oath of office Tuesday in Richmond as V irginia’s junior US Senator. The former Navy Secretary received the oath in the Senate chamber from Chief Justice Lawrence I’Anson of the State Supreme Court. Senator Warner’s wife, actress Elizabeth Taylor, held the Bible on which Wampr placed his left hand while he repeated the oath. The new Republican Senator then pledged to serve all Virginians equally when he goes to Washington. Several hundred persons, . including Democratic and Republican party leaders, were on hand for the ceremony. The senator was interrupted by applause several times as he read from a speech he had written on a legal pad as he traveled to Richmond. He spoke of the “Virginia spirit” that he characterized as a ‘‘renaissance of thinking” that is sweeping the nation. Most freshman US Senators were to be sworn in Wednesday in Washington, but Warner was able to achieve a 24-hour seniority because former Senator William L. Scott resigned a bit early. Scott stepped down at midnight Monday to give Warner a lead. The regular Senate term begins at noon Wednesday. Scott also said his office had completed the transmission of substantially all papers relating to his 12 years tenure in the House of Representatives and the Senate to George Mason University under an agreement with the university that the papers would not be made public until three years after the termination of his Senate service without his specific approval. Scott said that within the past few weeks, members of his staff with journalism backgrounds had reviewed committee transcripts, floor debates and material relating to his several campaigns. Based on this information, they compiled a summary of his legislative activities and campaigns and furnished SENATOR WARNER copies of the material to George Mason. In a letter to the president of George Mason, Scott stated that since the legislation activities and political material are documented from public records, he had no objection to the immediate use by the university of this specific material or its release to the public. Cancer Rates Lower In Mountains Moving to the mountains might be one way to avoid cancer, according to the November 11 edition of Science News. An article on biomedicine states that the higher the altitude, the lower the cancer death rate. This conclusion was reached by J. Frederick Cornhill of Ohio State University and Alan C. Burton of the University of Western Ontario following an epidemiological study. Similar findings from 35 different countries have also been reported by the World Health Organization. Escape from chemical carcinogens might be the reason but Cornhill and Burton think that the lower cancer rate may have to do with a change in acid-base balance in the body that comes with acclimatization at high altitudes. 1 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Eva L. Smith, retiring deputy clerk of Rappahannock County, has been selected as Citizen of the Year for 1978 by the staff of the Rappahannock News. For 18 years, Mrs. Smith has been a fixture at the court house. She’s the introduction to Rappahannock folk for the hundreds of newcomers who’ve fled the cities, looking for that little piece of paradise away from it all. They’ve trooped into the clerk’s office to record a deed on their new home and have walked away smiling, convinced that life in the country will be the antithesis of city living if everyone is as pleasant and cooperative as Eva Smith. Newlyweds start off togther with a marriage license and packet of little gifts from Eva. She’s recorded births for proud parents, helped geneologists find great-greatgreat grandmother’s tnaiden name and searched through piles of dusty records with history buffs, digging for some obscure fact from Rappahannock’s past. And no matter what the job, she approaches it with good humor and a smile. Eva Smith’s friendliness has made the clerk’s office a natural spot for the courthouse hangout. Lawyers, other county employees, business people with jobs in Washington, local government officials and folks with a few minutes to spare all drift in and out, catching up on tjbe latest new? and For years, Eva's kept an inexhaustable supply of goodies—peanuts, cookies, candies and crackers—on the comer of her desk in the old red brick office. Regular visitors help themselves, sure that she means for them to do just that. Newcomers generally ask before taking a handful but it doesn’t take long for them to feel comfortable enough to dig right in. Lunch lime Horttn With Eva as hostess, the side room in the old clerk’s building has doubled for years' as the regular meeting place for brown baggers at lunch time. Everyone brings their own sandwiches and drinks except the deputy clerk—who brings her own and then some. It might be cheesecake, an apple pie or a batch of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Whatever the surprise treat for the day, it’s always scrumptious and always shared with anyone who joins the group. Ex-Rappahannockers who return to the county for a visit stop by the office to pay their respects to Eva. Whether the long trip back home started from Texas, California or Maine, .they seldom leave without saying hello and getting a rundown on the latest happenings. For 18 years, Eva Smith has been a one-woman chamber of commerce, putting the county’s best face forward to visitors and natives alike. Born near Grottoes in the Shenandoah Valley, she came to Rappahannock with her husband, Galley W. Smith Jr., in 1941 to start a lumber business here. After his death in 1960, she began her career in the clerk’s office as a parttime worker under clerk Jimmie Settle and was officially made deputy clerk in January, 1962. - ■ early 1963 with Ruth Stevens slated to fill the vacancy but Miss Stevens died unexpectedly just before Christmas and Eva Smith was named acting clerk for a month and a half before Ned Jones took over the job. She served under Jones for 14 of her 18 years as deputy. “He is the greatest person. So nice and gallant and always such a gentleman,” Mrs. Smith recalled. Eva and Ned belong to a mutual admiration society. At a party in her honor held at the home of Judge and Mrs. Rayner V. Snead, her former boss praised her loyalty, her abilities, her dedication, her perserverence, her competence-just about everything an employer could find to admire in an employee. Lady Bom When Jones retired in August 1977, Diane Bruce was appointed to the job. “Diane and I have had great rapport from the very beginning,” Mrs. Smith recalled. “We’ve gotten along real well.” When she was notified that Ms. Bruce had been named clerk, Judge Carlton Penn reminded Eva of an earlier remirk she’d made to the effect that she’d never work for a woman. Acknowledging that she had indeed uttered such a statement, she added that it had been said “with reservations...! would work for a woman who was smarter than I am, who knew more. Our relationship has been great. I’m not leaving because I’m working for a woman. I’ve just reached the point in life where I think it’s time.” Mrs. Smith could hve been clerk herself instead of deputy for most of the 18 years that she’s given to the job. She was first offered the position when Miss Stevens 4ted. J‘Bnt I didn’t think I was qualified then,” she explained. “I’d only worked parttime.” Fourteen years later, when Ned Jones left, she again turned down the offer. “That time, I didn’t want the responsibility. It was too near my retirement.” All the traffic in and out of her office has generated a lot of excitement in 18 years but, ever-careful of unintentionally hurting someone, Eva is reticent about relating some of the funnier stories. “Someone could read it and say ‘Why, she’s talking about me,’ ” she explained. But after some prodding from Gerk Diane Bruce, she loosened her tongue a little. “Tell about the time a man cussed you out,” Diane urged. “Well, I’ve taken a lot of abuse,” Eva admitted. “Tell her about going to the hospital and' issuing a ^marriage license in the maternity ward,” Diane continued. "Oh no, I couldn’t. That would be terrible,” Eva demurred. Even after Diane pointed out that she wouldn’t have to mention any names, Eva still resisted, maintaining that the couple would be too embarrassed if anyone figured out their identities. “Most of the fun things that have happened here have been with marriage licenses,” she remembered, adding that she’d even issued licenses from her home during late hours of the night. Although she hesitated to tell tales on others, Eva wasn’t as reticent when it came to herself. “I’ve always said that I have an ample mouth. Well, one day I had a lawyer (who said his brother was a dentist) pull my lip down and ask me if my teeth were real. And that wasn’t all. He asked me to type a couple of lines for him and when I finished, he stuck a dollar ihr dress!*’ Working as deputy clerk has brought more than just responsibility. “I’ve met a lot of interesting people in this job—David Brinkley, Senator McCarthy, Frank McGhee,” she noted. Eva acknowledged that she’d received invaluable (Continued on Page 4) 1978News In Brief By SARAH LATHAM as the Old Man with the scythe is replaced by the lad in diapers, we tend to allow our thoughts to trickle backwards over the preceding twelve months and sift the events which comprised the news. Government becomes more predominent in our lives almost daily and this constitutes a gjpat portion of the year’s events, beginning with and ending with the controversial “to ski or not to ski” area. In January of 77 a report of the Game Warden showed the deer kill in the county was somewhat less than the previous hunting season; farmers were advised during a cattle school that good management saves dollars and the question of workman’s compensation vs. Blue Cross had arisen concerning county employees. Agricultural districts were being investigated for use value taxation by counties in this area and Cheryl Neel had become an employee of the school system as assistant principal of the local elementary school after it opened following the Christmas holidays. Delegate George Beard made his first report from Richmond after assuming his duties there as the representative from our Legislative District and local teachers were making salary requests for the next budget. An overflow crowd attended a BZA hearing on the ski area. In the final week of January, the electric utility company was crying dwindling fuel supplies and the conservation of electrical energy and flu was prevalent in the schools. Amissville Ruritan Club was celebrating its 17th anniversary and Newbill Miller was named as a director of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District, of which Rappahannock is a part. The French country restaurant, The Inn of Little Washington, opened in February and has apparently enjoyed a successful year. At this time snow and winds had closed schools and roads but not before Scott Jenkins of Amissville had been named DAR Good Citizen for 1978. Standard Achievement tests disclosed that local students performed well, and the highway right-of-way was being cleared for the dual laning of Route 211 through Amissville. The BZA denied the ski area permit, Mary Payne was named the first woman director of Rappahannock National Bank. She had been cashier of the firm since 1972, and plans were being established for the annual Point-to-Point races in March. The Rappahannock Home Mutual Fire Insurance Company was celebrating its 100th birthday and the fund drive for Rappahannock’s portion for the 4-H Education Center to be Cannon Has Ray T. Cannon of Castleton had the top selling Angus bull at the fourth annual Virginia Breeders AllBreed Performance Tested Ball Sale at Augusta Expoland. Cannon's bull, purchased by Joe Billingsley of King George, sold for $2,000. The animal had a 205-day weight of 696, a test overage daily gain of 2.79 pounds with a 113 ratio and a 365day weight of 1,127 with a yearling ratio of 124. constructed near Front Royal received a $5,000 boost from a foundation located in D.C., and the abbreviated month came to a dose. Higher salaries and more benefits were repeated at the March Supervisors meeting by local teachers, the Pointto-Point races were postponed due to snow, utility companies were screaming conservation and the SKIP school group visited the county seat of government and county tag stickers were on sale anew. Angela Grigsby and Paula Butler were among the Bland Music Contest winners here. The ski area filed a suit against the Supers to reopen the Ski Area. The Women’s Club sponsored a most successful fashion show, the Lions Club was instrumental in sponsoring a sight and hearing testing program for students and the Rappahannock Unit American Cancer Society spring crusade was planned. A bid from Lantz Corp. of Broadway was accepted for construction of a new Gerk’s office next to the courthouse in Washington and the General Assembly voted to allow mileage payment by the Top Bull At the sale, 48 performance tested bulls sold for $63,400 for an average of $1,321 a head. The bulls were consigned by members of the Virginia Beef Cattle Improvement Association, the sponsoring organization. All of the bulls were tested on the breeders’ farms or at one of the central bull test stations in Virginia. The 14 Angus bulls grossed $17,675 for an average of $1,263 a head. state for “patrolling” by county Sheriff’s Departments. Old Man Winter was still on a rampage and an ice storm paralyzed much of the area with Chester Gap being especially hard hit and a school budget of $1,318,379 was approved by the Supers. Trout fishing season opened without an April Fool as scheduled annually, the School Board and teachers were doing battle and the teachers declared “No Confidence” in them. Amissville Fire Department celebrated its silver anniversary with a banquet and the F. T. Valley Baptist Church made ready for a Bicentennial celebration. Dickie Jenkins left the Sheriffs Department to join Prince William County law enforcers. Virginia’s First Lady, Mrs. John Dalton, attended a Cancer Crusade luncheon, a Special Education program was approved and a dogwood was planted in front of the Treasurer’s office in memory of Jock Brown. County Planners denied a request by Dorothy Davis for a rezoning of a tract of land just outside of Washington. A rash of fires plagued the area. Sen. Eugene McCarthy was the featured speaker at Rappahannock Library and the Title I budget for school programs was approved. It was apple blossom time and the local Lions celebrated 20 years of service, while construction began on the Clerk’s office. Reynold’s Store in Sperryville was robbed. April showers bring May flowers and so Lois Ann Grigsby was named Miss Rappahannock in a beauty pageant and the RCHS Lady (Continued on Page 4) EVA WAS “ROASTED” though no one could find anything but good news to tell on her.

Salem Declared State Landmark At its December 19 meeting, the Virginia Historical Landmark T’OttfiflKSlon * placed the Mount Salem Baptist Meeting House on the Virginia Landmarks Register. The step culminates two years of work 1 r the Mount Salem ^.‘storation Association which will continue efforts to have the old church recognized as a national landmark, according to Association president Gale Titchenell. "It’s an honor to be included on the state register,” said Rev. Titchenell. He reported that the Virginia Historical Landmark Commission had sent an investigator to the county to examine the building’s architecture and general structure. The investigator also authenticated historical records to verify data on Mount Salem collected by the Restoration Association, lie added. “It is an historical monument," said Titchenell. Built in 1824 on the site of two earlier houses of worship. Mount Salem is considered the oldest church building in Rappahannock County. Titchenell explained that being included on the Virginia Landmarks Register will protect Mount Salem from ever being razed. He noted that neither the state, federal nor local government will have the power of imminent domain to sieze church property for widening the road that the building sits next to or for any other project. Acknowledging that he didn’t see any current threat to Mount Salem, Titchenell noted that status as an historical monument would protect the church into the future. Direct School Board Elections Not Likely (Information taken from an article by Mary Anne Lecos, Virginia School Boards Association president, and Frank E. Barham, Associate Executive Secretary of the Virginia School Boards Association, that appeared in the December issue of the Virginia PTA Bulletin.) More than 95 percent of the 95,000 school board members serving on 16,000 boards throughout the United States are elected by popular vote. The state of Virginia belongs to the tiny minority of jurisdictions with appointed boards. All 794 members of the 141 school boards in Virginia are appointed by either the local governing body or the local School Trustees Electoral Board. In 63 counties, board members are appointed by the electoral board method. In 78 counties, towns and cities, the local governing body appoints school boards. Virginia law allows the method of appointment of board members by electoral trustees to be changed to appointment by the governing body through a local referendum. To have the question put on the ballot, a petition signed by the number of qualified voters euqal to 15 percent of the number of votes cast in the last presidential election must be filed with the court. There is currently no provision for the popular election of school board members in Virginia and the possibilities of this approach being implemented are small. The majority of elected boards throughout the rest of the country also have taxing powers and most of Virginia’s prestigious statewide educational organizations hold that popularly elected boards are desirable ONLY if those boards have powers to raise revenue. This is the position of both the PTA and the Virginia Education Association. While a switch to popularly elected boards could be achieved through statutory change by a vote in the General Assembly, fiscal independence for school boards would require an amendment to the Virginia Constitution. Legislation to allow popular election of board members or to allow local referenda on the issue has been introduced (Continued on Page 4)

Scale refers both to the total form and mass of the object, and its relationship to the size of the room. Scale is also the relationship of each piece compared to the sizes of other furniture in the same room. If you are one of the newlywed set living in a small apartment, stop considering (for the moment, at least! the purchase of an enormous overstuffed sofa. Instead look for a piece with slim lines. On the other hand, if your home is of heroic proportions, think several times before purchasing dainty little gilt chairs. At EARLY’S CARPETS, Route 211, Amissville, 937-5111, and 502 N. Main St., Culpeper, 825-8232, once we put your decorating needs “on the scale” we’re sure our helpful ideas will “measure up” to your expectations. Stop in today and let our friendly and knowledgeable staff show you such fine lines of carpeting as Lees, Mohawk and Philadelphia. Whatever the size of your room, you 11 always have room for such fine and decorative carpeting. Open both stores 9-6 MondayFriday, 9-5 Sat. BankAmericard accepted.

REALTOR HANDSHAKES DON'T COUNT Many business agreements have been sealed with a “handshake” and enforced in the courts. But when it comes to the world of Real Estate you Cannot - and should not - rely on oral promises. In fact, legislation in each of the fifty states specifically requires that all agreements and conditions relative to the sale of real estate specifically be in writing. In real estate, oral promises or conditions have little standing. If they are not contained in writing within the agreement of sale, or on other papers relating to the transaction, they are not binding. In fact, the typical agreement of sale provides a clause to the effect that all oral statements relative to the transaction made prior to the signing of the written agreement are invalid. The only way to put any teeth into oral promises, is to insist that everything which you think is significant be put in writing.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 4,1970 Missed Opportunity The state travel magazine, “Virginia, Scenic History land,” has released its publication for 1978-79 and the booklet makes no mention of Rappahannock County. The county is missing an excellent opportunity to attract tourists by not sending in an article for the magazine. It's published by the Virginia Travel Council “for the purpose of influencing travelers to visit the Old Dominion, in the belief that each will return home with a greater understanding of America’s natural heritage.” Equally as important, those same travelers who return home with an appreciation of the state’s heritage will also return home minus millions of dollars that they’ve left behind during their visit. If the county is to develop its potential as an outdoor recreation center and tourist attraction, then it needs publicity. Rappahannock need not wait until the ski area in Harris Hollow reopens as a year-round recreation facility before trying to get its share of dollars spent for tourism. It already has beautiful scenery, an historic area in the town of Washington complete with museum, top quality restaurant and artisan shops. It has Mt. Salem Church, recently declared a state landmark, rivers for canoeing, trails for hiking and mountains for climbing. It’s also a natural access point to Shenandoah National Park. As the county doesn’t have a Chamber of Commerce, it will be up to a local civic association or possibly county government to take the necessary steps to have Rappahannock’s attractions listed in next year’s edition of Scenic History land. It’s a worthwhile project and one that may bring dollars into county coffers with little or no expenditure. «* Top News Stories Listed (Continued from Page 1) Panthers took the District track meet and placed second in the state. James Swindler, Brooke Miller, Curtis Nichols and David Hudson were named honor students, respectively.

Snead was the victor in the Labor Day tennis tournament, an Duting to benefit the Rec Center was in progress and a Dolo match to benefit the Historical Society was ;cheduled while Eileen Day purchased and renovated the Clopton House in Washington. Mixed drinks were on the ballot, the Alpine slide got the go-ahead and Wit Kuncewicz began yearround hydroponic production of tomatoes in green houses. Apples, apples were everywhere. Judge Snead ruled that the BZA had used its authority property in the DeMen.' zoning squabble, the county’s legal bills were unpaid, a used car lot on the former theatre property was approved, and School Board members pondered space shortages and gas tanks. William Lane, prominent land holder in the three county area died in a traffic crash in New Mexico. Highlighting October was the annual house tour and dried flower sale and at that time the courthouse and jail were cited for fire hazards and Hans Mulliken was crawling cross country while fluoride was added to the school drinking water supply. The annual fire training school was in session and roadside fruit stands were undergoing their annual push back off the highway rightof-way with the utility company working on towers for a transmission line knifing the county. The comprehensive plan outline was okayed, more funds were gleaned for the 4H center as the Farm Bureau anted up $1,500. Miller and Warner were in a hot contest for the US Senate and Robinson was having no difficulty in topping Fickett for the House seat. Old Rag Mountain was afre as the October colors dominated it and the survey for the Sperryville sewer was completed. Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Compton were named outstanding farm family by the Soil and Water District while the Updike’s decreased their livestock with an auction. Warner by this time is the apparent winner of the Senate race and Old Rag continues to bum. An outside fire escape is considered for the courthouse and the Lions Club received a state award for achievement. The Georgia Hounds came to pay a call on the Rappahannock fox hounds and the Town of Washington sought a better water supply. Kermit Weakley was named to the BZA and^he DeMent revocation was upheld. Land preservation was discussed and work on the comprehensive plan was in progress. An agricultural bargaining act was proposed and turkeys were becoming frightened. Many lost their heads. Max joined the State Police with Chuck Moore as his handler, Warner was declared winner of the Senate seat ^nd the Teachers Association had not gotten to first base with their proposals. A suit was filed against the Supervisors for amending the zoning ordinance in September which relaxed requirements on commercial recreation. In December Katherine Riley was honored by the Amissville Homemakers and RLEP was still attempting to SAVE RAPPAHANNOCK as the group met with the Supervisors. Open House at Rush River found James Kilpatrick and Eugene McCarthy in an autographing session with their new book, it was butchering time at John Marshall Clark’s as well as on many other farms. The Clerk’s office was completed and moving completed. Santa visited the Library and a landowner found he did not own his land. Extra help was approved by the Welfare Department for alcoholics. It was Christmas and all was Merry and Bright—now it begins all over as the new year begins. Eva Smith: She’s Helped Hundreds (Continued from Page 1) assistance from others during her 18 years in the clerk’s office, especially from Sperryville attorney James W. Fletcher. “Mr. Fletcher gave me thousands of dollars of free legal advice. If I couldn’t find the information I needed, I’d ask him and he’d always tell me the answer. Lots of people helped, but particularly Mr. Fletcher.” Eva’s last official day as deputy clerk was Friday, December 29 but she’ll work full-time for two more weeks and then will continue on for a while as a parttime assistant to the new deputy, Karen Bear. Other than her intention to help out periodically at her old office, Eva has no plans for retirement. She doesn’t like to travel so there’s no round-the-world excursion in her future—just short jaunts to Georgia and Windsor, Virginia, to visit her children, Galley W. Smith III and Charles L. Smith. Baking and bridge games are Eva’s favorite pasttimes. Her partners at the card table are looking forward to seeing more of her once she retires and expect her to develop talents that may surpass Charles Goren’s.

Letter To The Editor National Tractorcade 1 o the editor: It is not often that a movement or cause that is national in scope can be identified with the goals and desires of the vast majority of residents of Rappahannock and surrounding counties. By choice we have identified ourselves with these citizens who opt for life in a rural community with a strong agricultural foundation. The American Agriculture Movement (AAM) is today the clarion call for action'by those who would preserve our family farm system and create an environment conducive to the pursuit of farming for our children and future generations. AAM believes that economic conditions in rural .America require that provisions of the present 1977 Farm Bill be implemented to the maximum levels of support and that new legislation to protect the livestock industry must be enacted. AAM has organized a national tractorcade to Washington to publicize its goals to the population at large and Congress in particular. I am a Fauquier County farmer’s farmer from Orlean and staunch supporter of AAM, and I recently attended a meeting of wagonmasters from 17 states in Oklahoma City. This meeting developed the details for implementing the national tractorcade. On Jan. 22 tractors and support vehicles and equipment will depart from seven locations in the midwest and southwest. Travelling approximately 100 miles per day the tractorcade will converge on Washington on or about Feb. 9. Local farmers and citizens of Rappahannock and surrounding counties who** identify with farming as a way of life are urged to step forward and become a part of the National Tractorcade Action.

Rockwell Farm, RD 1, Marshall Visits Down Visits to Shenandoah National Park were down for 1978 compared to 1977, according to statistics released by Park Superintendent Robert Jacobsen. In Calendar Year 1978, 2,091,500 visitors traveled to the park—a decrease of 31.5 percent over the 3,055,000 visitors in 1977. • Overnight stays for Calendar Year 1978 totalled 545,417 compared to 590,947 in 1977. The park had 46,600 visitors in December 1978 for a decrease of 29.6 percent over the 66,200 visitors in December 1977. Part of the reported decrease may be attributed to new procedures for counting travel instituted on January 1, 1978. A new multiplier of 2.8 rather than 3.5 is being used for converting vehicles to visitors and travel on only three secondary roads is being counted. As measured at Big Meadows Weather Station, the maximum temperature for December was 66 degrees and the minimum was 9 degrees. Precipitation totalled 5.54 inches. items by the oven-full. “To say that she’ll be missed is an un derstatement,” said Qerk Diane Bruce. “She’s the best and most patient teacher I have ever known. Her work is nothing short of perfect, proved by the State Auditor’s “excellent” report each year. She loves the public and wants to serve them. She knows everything and everyone. Her personality is super. I would like to nominate her ‘First Lady of Rappahannock,’ ” Ms. Bruce concluded. Amissville VFD Election At an election of officers for the Amissville Fire Company on December 29, Paul Poling was reelected as president of the organization. Other officers are Miss Phoebe Green, vice president; Stan Settle, Jr., secretary; Charlie Compton, treasurer. Russell Pullen was reelected as chief and Levi Atkins, Jr., assistant chief; Captain is Everett Smith and Troy Baker, lieutenant.

Make sure your car contains a survival kit which you can make yourself. It should contain first-aid supplies such as bandages, first-aid cream, iodine, aspirins, etc. plus facial tissues, flashlight, knife, and hand tools. A large coffee can can be used to hold the items. Raisins and candy should be included since these kinds of food keep for a long time and provide energy to keep warm. Other additional items can be batteries, heavy string, wire, matches and pencils. Many parts of the car can be used to help get the car going if it is stuck in the snow. The hubcaps, sun visors and air filter covers can be used as shovels to remove snow from around the wheels. Carry a bucket of sand to sprinkle on ice for traction. When staying in the car while it continues to snow, be sure to shovel any snow away from the exhaust pipes before running the engine for heat. Make sure there is ventilation before starting the engine. When staying in the car, don’t remain in one position. Direct School Board Elections Unlikely (Continued from Page 1) repeatedly in the Assembly. Though none of these bills has survived committee review, it doesn’t appear that the question will go away. Local government officials generally have supported election of school boards but only if the boards have taxraising authority. Separate levies for schools would relieve local officials of the responsibility for raising a large portion of the tax revenue required for public services as school costs generally account for the biggest chunk in local budgets. (In Rappahannock County’s 1978-79 $2 million budget, school operations totaled approximately $1,400,000.) Abolish Trustee System Tfie Virginia Advisory Legislative Council completed a study of local government during 1976 and recommended doing away with the method of appointing school board members by electoral trustees. The Council suggested that all school board members still be appointed but by governing bodies—not electoral trustees. School Trustee Electoral Boards are composed of three resident qualified voters, who are not county or state officers, appointed for fouryear terms by the circuit court. In Rappahannock, electoral trustees named in JdTy by Judge Rayner V. Snead are C. E. “Ned” Johnson and Mrs. Christine Johnston, both of Sperryville, Get up and move around often. It keeps circulation going.

Add water, mayonnaise and vanilla. Beat well. Pour into well-greased square pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 40 min. and Thomas Granville Eastham of Flint Hill. Critics of appointment by trustees argue that it removes control of the schools from the people and permits the “courthouse crowd” or the superintendent to unduly influence school board makeup and policy. Supporters claim that the electoral board is less influenced by partisan considerations than is the board of supervisors and that this method allows school board members to be more independent in their support of spending for public education. Supporters claim that the electoral system works well to produce good board members. They note that it can be changed by referendum if it no longer serves the electorate. Appointment Vs. Election Defenders of appointed school boards insist that the most highly qualified candidates would not submit themselves to the trials and expenses of election campaigns. They argue that board members running for election would be beholden to special interest groups or would exploit emotional issues to the detriment of school operations. Proponents maintain that the appointing authority should be held fully responsible to the people for the actions of the school board since public education is a function of local government. Those who advocate popular election of school board members argue that citizens take more interest in the schools when issues are dramatized in an election campaign. They maintain that elected boards are more accountable and responsible to the public and claim that appointed board members owe allegiance to those who appoint them rather than to the school system or to the public. They caution that appointment of board members can become part of a patronage system. No Change In Effectiveness According to a National School Boards Association report, there is no evidence of a correlation between effective school board governance and method of selection of board members. However, the report did conclude that evidence pointed to a link between a good board and community' climate as measured by interest, responsiveness, enthusiasm and pride in local schools. L. Harmon Zeigler and M. Kent Jennings, in ‘‘Governing American Schools,” conclude that school boards generally fail to govern no matter how members are selected. They see this occurring primarily because school board members are conditioned to view themselves as “trustees” of the system rather than “instructed delegates.” According to Zeigler and Jennings, administrative staffs typically rule school districts. Zeigler and Jennings report that' their nation-wide survey shows elected board members to be more responsive to individual interests while appointed boards are more responsive to group concerns. They concude that, to most constituents, the method of selection of board members is unknown or irrelevant. Interesting national statistics uncovered by the two men show that board members are generally male, white, middle-aged, welleducated, prestigiously employed, Protestant and long-time residents of their communities. A comparison of Zeigler and Jennings’ work with Thomas L. Varner’s study of Virginia school boards indicates that appointed board members in the Com- . monwealth are better educated and have lived in their communities longer than their national counterparts. Also, a greater proportion of women and non- whites are appointed in Virginia than are elected nationally. Varner’s study also in- ' dicates that Virginia school boards operate with a mix of “old timers’’ and “new blood.” More than one-half of members have served on a school board for three years or less while approximately one-fourth have served four to eight years. In Virginia, the only requirement for school board membership is residency in the district to be represented. Unlike many other states, there are no requirements that board members meet educational standards, be freeholders, be taxpayers, be parents or be qualified voters. Change Unlikely Traditionally, Virginia’s General Assembly is cautious about modifying arrangements which appear to serve the Commonwealth. This attitude, coupled with an equally strong tradition of allowing some degree of local control, makes it unlikely that the electoral board system will be abandoned except where local voters choose to do so by referendum. Rather than a switch to direct election of school boards, it is more reasonable to expect some modification of the existing method of school board appointment to ensure direct participation of citizens in the selection process. The possibilities for legislated procedure designed to encourage public involvement include: — advertiement of vacancies or reappointments; —solicitation of applicants and nominees; —public meetings at which candidates would state their views and be questioned. These methods have been implemented in areas of Virginia where pressures for citizen involvement have been greatest. While such means have satisfied some activists in the communities, they have not motivated much participation by the general public. , +++-1Some say it’s good luck for a firefly to fly into the house.
