Vandalism Suspected In Tower’s Fall Nuts, Washers Removed From Base By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer “Malicious damage" toppled the Vepco power line that came down recently near Route 647 outside Flint Hill, according to Frank Carmack, safety director of the Richardson-Wayland Electrical Corporation, contractors for the job of erecting the towers and stringing electrical lines. Carmack said last Thursday that nuts and washers had been removed from three of the bolts that hold the tower to its concrete base. “They took them off on the windward side so they knew what they were doing,” said Carmack. “Washers and bolts were found scattered in the weeds 20 to 25 feet from the tower,” he said. Carmack said that washers History Comes Alive For Seventh Graders By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer “How to see Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown and points south with 91 seventh graders and love it.” An item for Ripley’s , Believe It or Not?

RAYMOND Guest (R-Front Royal) says Virginia’s counties and towns will have to band together in a stronger lobbying effort if they hope to win approval of legislation aimed at making land development more orderly. Guest sponsored a bill, at the request of Fauquier County, which would have allowed counties to impose a charge on the developers of subdivisions to defray 1 resulting increased government costs for education. The bill died in the House Counties, Cities and Towns Committee largely, Guest believes, because of the strength of lobbyists representing real estate, construction and developer interests. Guest said he is willing to introduce similar legislation again, but “if the counties want it...they’re going to have to get together” and organize a strong lobby. The Front Royal Republican said his efforts were probably hurt by the fact that the Virginia Association of Counties and the Virginia Municipal League remained neutral on the legislation. The backing of those two organizations, he said, could change the vote. elementary school on their annual trip through history. 1 willingly—even eagerly—volunteered for the three day adventure. No one coerced me into it, none of the teachers twisted my arm to get a yes. At the same time, however, my eyes were open. I was fully prepared to return home and write “The Journal of a Demented Chaperone,” a story that' would go one step beyond “The Diary of a Mad Housewife.” But that wasn’t necessary. Assuming that I was sane when I left, I returned in basically the same condition—a little weary, feet aching, full of more than my usual quota of sodas and junk food but also full of a new found appreciation for our American heritage. As an adult who left U. S. and Virginia history classes behind more years ago than I care to remember, it was a thrill to see the past come alive on the streets of Williamsburg and in the fort at Jamestown. As one of, twelve adults in charge of a horde of teenagers, I won’t soon forget those three days. Our travels began early Friday morning. I’ve taken it on faith for all these years that 5 a.m. does exist but now I know from experience that a day can start earlier than 7 a.m. My son and I had to drag ourselves out of bed at the crack of dawn so we could reach the elementary school before the 6:15 take-off time. Seeing the sun rise may be inspiring to some folks but it didn’t add much to my morning. - I was ready to face a bus full of seventh graders for the four hour ride to Richmond. Remembering my own experiences as a kid, I came armed with comic books to ' use as bribes in case someone instigated a round of “One Hundred Bottles of Beer on the Wall” or worse yet, a never-ending rendition of “Found a Peanut.” No Bottles Of Beer I didn't have to worry. All the old favorites are dead and buried. Today’s teenagers are much too busy listening to portable radios and casette tape players to worry about singing. We “boogy oogy oogied” all the way to Richmond in tune to “Freak Out” from the rear of the bus and “Saturday Night Fever” from the middle. The disco numbers from the front were mercifully inaudible^ We reached Richmond about 9 a.m. with ear drums strained but still functioning. First stop was a tour of the new Phillip Morris plant, employer of 5,600 people—a workforce equal to the entire population of Rappahannock County. The importance of tobacco to Virignia’s economy was highlighted X>~ the $10 million worth of cigarette inventory that clears the plant every three days. With its employee cafeteria, nurse’s station and courtyard gardens, Phillip Morris’s operation is a long way from the sweatshops of the industrial revolution studied by the seventh graders. Following a promotional film, seventh grade history teacher Susan Henry countered the blatantly pro-smoking propaganda with a little talk of her own on the danger to health that smoking presents. It must have worked. None of the kids tried to convince the tour guide that they were old enough for a sample pack and several hooted at the adults who took advantage of the freebies. The kids, bless them, seemed much more impressed by the computerdirected machinery that manufactured and packed the smokes than by what Phillip Morris spokesmen described as the best tobacco products in the world. Second stop was the State Capital where the General (Continued bn Page 4) Death Ruled Suicide The death of Wayne Lowell Thomas of Chantilly in a Sperryville motel was ruled suicide by Trooper H.A. Newlin who investigated it Sunday. Thomas, 33, had checked into the motel operated by Mrs. Ona Smith on Friday. On Saturday he paid for another night’s lodging and when he had not left in the late afternoon Sunday the officer was summoned. Newlin said there was no indication of foul play in case. Thomas was shot through the forehead with a small calibre gun. He left two letters, one to his father and one to his employer. ■ ■XiKVV'" —Rappahannock News Photo-Mary Schumaker RAPPAHANNOCK’S SEVENTH GRADERS, on their way to Williamsburg, posed on the Capital steps in Richmond with chaperones and teachers.

She said that persons involved in a leukemia fund drive mgy also be contacting county residents in the coining week,s. She emphasized that this group has no organization in Rappahannock and shouldn’t be confused with the local Cancer Society. Mrs. Mank noted that the American Cancer Society funds leukemia research as part of its program to find a cure for cancer. Leukemia is a form of cancer that destroys white blood cells. , Anyone interested in collecting for the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society’s fund drive should contact Mrs. Mank (675-3244) or Mrs. Bruce (987-8256). Theft Solved The combined efforts of Trooper R.A. Baines and Sheriff W.A. Buntin and his Deputies netted a charge of grand larceny for three Amissville men last Thursday. fcmest McClennon and a juvenile of Amissville and Pete Frank Settle of Warren ton were arrested and charged with grand larceny in the theft of four wheels and tires taken from an auto parked on the roadside and of seven radiators and a starter taken from the garage of Richard Compton on Route 729.' Trooper Baines investigated a complaint by Richard Murray of Castleton whose vehicle left parked on Route 211 west of Amissville January 24 was relieved of all four tires and wheels. The same night Compton's Garage was entered by vandals. As a result of the investigation, a search warrant was obtained for the home of the McClennon’s. The tires and wheels were found, two in the basement and two on a vehicle belonging to Pete Settle. Further investigation revealed that McClennon, Settle and the juvenile had broken into the garage. The stolen merchandise was found at Zuckerman Steel in Front Royal. and four nuts secure each leg of the towers. When a tower is first erected, two sets of nuts are hand-tightened and two are put on with a large wrench, according to the safety director. “An 18-inch wrench is the smallest wrench that could be used to take those nuts off," he said. Citing the difficulties in removing the wrenchtightened nuts, Carmack maintained that the vandalism could not have been committed by children. He discounted the possibility that his crew may have failed to put nuts and washers on in the first place. Carmack said he'd found imprints from the washers still on the bolts of the two tower legs that were left sticking up into the air after the fall. He also ruled out the chance that the tower may have toppled in the wind with all the bolts and washers in place. “The threads on the bolts would have been stripped if that was the case and they're not," he noted. Carmack guessed that the tower fell on Thursday, January 18, a night with wind gusts up to 35 or 40 miles per hour. Even with all the bolts and washers removed from the tower legs, it would remain standing unless winds reached 20 to 25 miles per hour, he said. Carmack emphasized that there's no danger of the towers falling once work on (Continued on Page 4) Goode Subdivision Not In Compliance By DAPHNE HITCH IN SON Rappahannock News Staff Writer At a special meeting on Thursday. January 25. the Rappahannock Planning Commission voted unanimously to report to the county supervisors that C.L. Goode’s proposed Mountain Slopes subdivision does not substantially comply with provisions of the subdivision ordinance. The planners based their conclusion primarily on figures supplied by county engineer Fanning Baumgardner. According to Baumgardner’s data, eight of the proposed five-acre lots in the 14-lot development have slopes in excess of 14 per cent grade. The county subdivision ordinance allows five-acre developments only on land with slopes of 14 per cent or less. On land with steeper slopes, developers must go to 25-acre lot size. Baumgardner's figures show two five-acre lots with ten per cent of land over 14 per cent slope; two five-acre lots with 15 per cent of land over 14 per cent slope; one 5.6-acre lot with 20 per cent of land over 14 per cent slope; one five-acre lot with 20 per cent of land over 14 per cent slope; one 7.7-acre lot with 30 per cent of land over 14 per cent slope and one five-acre lot with 40 per cent of land over 14 per cent slope. Three of the lots exceeding slope requirement had not had all our lines mapped, according to the engineer's report, and therefore, could end up with a higher percentage of land over the 14 per cent limit. Based on Baumgardner's data, approximately nine acres of the proposed 77-acre development exceed the slope criteria. “The same lots that have a significant am: unt of land over 14 per cent also have a significant amount of flood plain land," noted planner Newbill Miller. "There's not an awful lot of land..." “To build and put a drain field on.” finished planner Allan Stokes. Miller continued that the well and drainfield standards set by the state are becoming (Continued on Page 2) Bill To Freeze Park Boundaries Reintroduced Seventh District Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson has reintroduced his bill to freeze the federally authorized boundaries of Shenandoah National Park at their present limits, a park area covering about 194,000 acres. According to Robinson, ‘‘Congress created Shenandoah National Park in 1926. and authorized an ultimate area of 521.000 acres—a much bigger park than now exists. These outdated limits, plus variants shown on old maps and elsewhere, are impractical, unrealistic, and should be Fruit School Planned For Feh. 7 The annual Rappahannock-Madison Area Fruit School will be held Wednesday. February 7. at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria. The program will begin at 10 a.m. with a talk on cork spot and bitter pit control by G. E. Mattus from VPI Sam Snead of Washington has arranged for a speaker on marketing and bargaining legislation at 10:30. Jim Chaftns and C. Purcell McCue, both from Staunton, will explain operations of the state Apple Commission and Horticultural Society at 11 followed by a talk on orchard mouse control from R. E. Byers of VPI at 11:30. After a break for lunch (with the meal sponsored by Cheveron, Chemagro, Stauffer Chemical Companies and Rappahannock Farmers), the program will resume at 1 p.m. with a presentation by Keith Yoder of VPI on orchard disease control with particular emphasis on sooty blotch and fly speck. R. L. Horsburgh from VPI will speak on apple scale control at 1:30 p.m. and the program will conclude with a panel discussion on orchard sprays at 2 p.m., moderated by VPl’s G. R. Williams. The RappahannockMadison Area Fruit School is sponsored jointly by.the Cooperative Extension Service and the MadisonRappahannock County Fruit Growers. Voters Purged Rappahannock Registrar Mary Cleverley has just completed a purge of the voting roster in the county, and a total of 58 names have been removed from the list. This leaves a total of 2522 eligible voters in Rappahannock. The names of those voters who have not exercised their privilege to vote for four consecutive years have been removed. There were names taken from the roster in every precinct except Chester Gap where none were removed leaving the total of 197 intact. In other areas the purgt was: Hint Hill 4 removet leaving 383; Washingtoi purged 18 leaving 591 registered; Amissville lost ' with 464 remaining Sperryville also lost 9 leavinj 463 while Woodville lost II leaving a total of 470. stricken from the law . which would be accomplished by the enactment of my bill. “If this proposal became law," the lawmaker from Winchester explained, "the federal government would have no authority to acquire any additional land for the park through purchase, or trade, or in any other manner, except as might be permitted through a subsequent act of Congress. It would mean the National Park Service would have to justify any future plan to expand the park before Congress, and gain its consent, "My bill’s enactment would help to ease the understandable concern of folks living in the park's vicinity that their property might one day be taken to expand this park. 1 hope for hearings on this measure at the earlier possible time."

Pink dogwood, 24 to 30 inches are $4.00. White dogwood. 24 to 30 inches are $2.50. Redbud. 12 to 18 inches, are $1.00.

Goode Subdivision (Continued from Page 1) increasingly stringent. He noted that the town of W ashington was currently having serious sewage disposal problems despite its excellent soils for drainfields. “Frankly, 1 don’t think (Goode's proposed development) substantially conforms. Make some adjustments and it will," Miller said, in apparent reference to reducing the number of lots and redrawing lot lines so that all lots will have five acres with 14 per cent grade or less. Earthen Dike Proposed Miller also reported on modifications to the subdivision’s site plan suggested by Bill Adams of the Soil Conservation Service. Adams recommended that Goode be required to reseed a corn field and put in straw bales at strategic points to control erosion. He also proposed that the developer erect a retaining wall along the <\appalianunck ^ms 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 iNew iRenewal Check Enclosed NAME_ ADDRESS _ CITY _STATE _ZIP Entered as second class mail at the Post Office in Washington Va The Rap pahannock News ts published every Thursday at 39 Culpeper Street War teuton Va by The Warrenton Printing and Publishing Co P O Box 631 WamMiion Va 22186 . .

"He said a bull dozer could put in 1,500 feet of it in a day,” Miller related. If Adams’s suggestion is followed, the earthen dike will be built to a heighth of approximately 2 feet at the last contour line before the river. “It could and should be required under the erosion and sedimentation control ordinance,” said Miller, maintaining that the retaining wall “would control erosion problems for the whole subdivision, regardless of when people build.” Planner Dave Fannon objected to having the Planning Commission recommend that the supervisors require Goode to implement Adams’s suggestions. He noted that enforcement of the erosion and sedimentation control ordinance was not the commission’s responsibility. In response, the planners agreed that H. S. Barksdale, in his position as local elected director for the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District, should bring Adams’ proposals to the Board of Supervisors. All Five Acres Under 14 per cent? Planner E. P. Luke asked where the line should be drawn on requiring five acres of land with slopes of 14 per cent or less. “Would we argue about 4.48 acres? About 4.25?...We’re saying Goode might have to redraw lot lines in order to conform (with the subdivision ordinance). Do all the lots have to have five plus acres under 14 per cent slope?” Luke asked. “That’s my opinion,” answered Fannon. “The last time we had a go-round on this thing, it was on rezoning,” Luke continued, referring to the Planning Commission's public hearing on Goode’s required rezoning from agriculture-conservation to residential subdivision held in August, 1976. Luke recalled that he had voted for the rezoning “with qualifications—I said I didn’t know whether Mr. Goode I would get 14 lots or nine lots" based on the compliance with the subdivision ordinance slope requirement. Luke suggested that representatives from the planning commission meet with Goode and explain what needs to be done in order for the development to comply with county ordinances. “1 disagree,” countered Fannon. “We should tell him to file a plat that shows five acres under 14 per cent in each lot." Luke replied that Goode’s engineers think that the plat already on file complies "or they wouldn’t have submitted it.” The engineers employed by Goode "gave us a mis-figure on land that wasn’t under 14 per cent,” said Miller. “They said it was less than two acres” when the actual figure is over nine acres. Ongoing Litigation Luke noted that two cases filed by Goode after the denial of his rezoning by the supervisors were still before the courts. He questioned whether it was proper for county government representatives to meet with the developer while the suits were continued. “I’m not meeting with someone who’s suing me,” Fannon remarked. Luke noted that the supervisors may not take action on Goode’s application for subdivision approval—the subject of a public hearing scheduled for Thursday, February 1—"while the case is in court.” “We should go on and do what we think is right (despite the ongoing litigation) and let the courts rule,” Miller maintained. “If there’s no logical reason why it shouldn’t be done, the subdivision will be approved.” (If the subdivision is approved after the supervisors’s public hearing on February 1, Goode’s suits contesting the denial of the required rezoning for his property would become mote well before the next hearing date on the cases scheduled for March 12.) “We’ve got a logical reason (for concluding that Goode's proposed development doesn’t comply with the subdivision ordinance),” Fannon insisted. “It's not in substantial compliance because of the percentage of land over 14 per cent slope,” Luke agreed. The planners voted unanimously to relay to the supervisors that Mountain Slopes doesn't substantially meet provisions of county ordinances because each lot doesn't contain five acres under 14 per cent slope. They added a notation that the amount of land with flood plain soils in each lot contributed in making the lots substandard for compliance with zoning and subdivision regulations.

According to ATF personnel, the reasons for the drop are that potential customers complain faoonshine tastes bad. contains lead poison and costs about as much as legal spirits. ATF kept busy, however, with a record 1,524 criminal bombings and the seizure of 8,936 illegal firearms. Virginia may be in line for a dubious achievement award. Of the 361 moonshine stills seized, 114 of them were in the Commonwealth, leaving open the possibility that the state may lay claim to the title “Mother of Moonshiners” as well as “Mother of Presidents.” REAL ESTATJ TRANSFERS Charles C.

It receives the most wear, should last the longest, and can be the most costly element of all to buy and replace. A good floor, in addition to being functional, can be an asset to the decorating scheme, if not the scheme-setter itself. By making the floor the dominant feature of the room, by drawing attention to it, you can detract from a less desirable aspect of the room, such as a low ceiling.

Late Wednesday night, Miss Lily Bell Savage, heiress to a third of the Savage estate, was caught inside the Museum of Natural History. She was found in the Department of Icthiology with a razor blade in one hand and a roll of scotch tape in the other. Alerted by the night watchman, police arrived immediately at the scene. They were surprised to find Lily Bell cutting into the side of a stuffed porpoise on display. When asked what she was dping, Miss Lily Bell responded with a quick bite to the law officer’s hand, seriously injuring him. After finally quieting the woman down, the police took a statement from her. She claimed to be looking for $10 million. She was immediately released.

IIAITAB INTERIOR SELLING TIPS Remember - when you are showing the inside of your home to a prospective buyer, first impressions are lasting and have an important effect on a potential sale. A clean, well-kept home shows a home that has had good care and has been properly maintained. Repaint the interior if it needs it, but use neutral colors, if possible. An attractive, comfortable living room is a major attraction, but a sparkling kitchen will appeal to the lady of the house. It’s the heart of any home, so keep it spotless. No dirty dishes. Women are also sensitive about bathrooms; keep them clean and orderly. Bedrooms are important - arrange their furnishings neatly. Shiny, clean windows not only are a great asset, but let sunlight in and brighten the entire atmosphere. Clean out the clutter in the closets, basements, and garage. And. if you have pets, clear them out too when showing. If there is anything We can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1979 Teacher Dedication Rappahannock, like many small, rural school systems, offers a “no frills” education. County schools share a single music teacher. There is no art teacher. Extracurricular activities are limited. The sports program consists of the basics—basketball, baseball and track. Austerity is dictated by a limited tax base and a small student body. We do, however, have the Williamsburg trip. It’s a first-rate educational experience, one that can be envied by more affluent school districts with a wide array of extras. This three-day adventure in history is made possible through the dedication and hard work of the seventh grade teachers. They organize the money raising efforts that enable all the class members, regardless of family financial resources, to take part. They spend hours making necessary arrangements and reservations. Then they donate three days of their own time to chaperon students on the trip. The excursion is fun. If it wasn t, the same teachers wouldn’t volunteer their efforts year after year. It’s also rewarding to see students who’ve been bored by the day-in, day-out routine of class work come awake at the living history depicted in Jamestown and Williamsburg. Even the children who are most turned off by studies learn something, almost despite themselves. But the trip is hard work and awesome responsibility. And for their dedication, the teachers deserve the thanks and appreciation of the community. Vandalism Suspected (Continued from Page 1) the line is completed. Before wires are strung, all bolts are again tightened with a 24inch wrench. After the power lines are up, “nothing will take one of those towers over,” said Carmack, noting that the lines themselves would hold the towers erect. He knew of only one other instance in which a power line tower had fallen. The incident, Carmack said, occured 12 to 14 years ago in Churchland when a gust of wind hit just as the construction crew was getting ready to put the bolts on the legs. “They had to just stand there and watch that tower fall,” Carmack recalled. No Danger To Homes Even if a freak accident should result in the fall of a tower after power lines are attached, rights-of-way are wide enough so that the tower wouldn’t hit even a tree, much less a dwelling, Carmack noted. Vepco buys extensive property for its rights-of-ways “for the protection of the public,” Carmack said. “Admittedly, it’s for Vepco’s protection also,” he added. In light of the opposition to the power line crossing Rappahannock County, Carmack said that he expected the vandals were persons who wanted to strike a blow against the utility company. He stressed, however, that Vepco wouldn’t be hurt by the malicious damage. “This is our loss, not theirs,” he said, adding that the fall of the tower would cost RichardsonWayland between $25,000 and $30,000. “We own that line until the power’s turned on. If somebody’s getting the idea they’re hurting Vepco, they’re not. Our insurance company will have to pay for this, not Vepco's. We're responsible for all the equipment until Vepco accepts the line,” said Carmack. Carmack reported that his crew went down the entire line on Thursday, checking, tightening and adding extra bolts. “We’re even considering spot welding,” he added. In addition, Carmack said, a security guard will be stationed on the right-of-way at night to prevent further vandalism. Company investigators under Carmack’s control will be assisting deputy E. W. Thompson of the Rappahannock’s Sheriff's Department in the case. “If we can find somebody, we’ll prosecute them,” Carmack concluded. ++++ “Put all your eggs in one basket and watch that basket.” Williamsburg Trip (Continued from Page 1) Assembly was in session. It looked like an ant hill with the top kicked off—delegates and senators stalked purposefully through the halls, pages scurried around trying to look important, news reporters flashed cameras and flourished notepads and, in the middle of it all, genteel southern belles conducted armies of school children on tours. Visit With Two Georges We saw the only statue of George Washington carved from life. Done in Italian marble, he stands underneath a dome painted two hundred years ago but the colors in the ceiling glow as if they’d come off the artist’s pallet only yesterday. While we waited for Delegate George Beard, our guide gave a short history on each of the Virginia sons whose busts line the alcoves in the old assembly room—heros of the Revolution and Civil War, explorers and Presidents of the United States. Delegate Beard, who’d just seen a bill he’d sponsored safely through the House of Delegates, took time out from a busy schedule to speak briefly with the kids and shake their hands before hurrying back to the session. We trooped around the Capital, stopping to admire the Governor’s Mansion, and climbed back on the bus. The kids got a brief glimpse of a demonstration—although a quiet and orderly one—from women lined up on the next block carrying placards in support of passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. Without tear gas, police and riots. I'm not sure that the kids recognized the ERA ladies were real demonstrators. From the Capital, it was a cross town jaunt to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts for a smidgeon of culture. We had a picnic lunch on the grounds, blessed with unseasonably warm weather. Then, for the first time, we divided into small groups, each chaperone with eight kids, for a race through the halls of the museum. Track Shoe Tour We had just enough time to dash to the collection of Salvador Dali’s living jewelry, Faberge’s masterpieces and an Egyptian mummy thousands of years old. Our group was fortunate to have Debby Helmer, a veteran museum visitor with an uncanny memory of which hall to take to find each exhibit. Without her. I’d probably still be stumbling around, studying my map and trying to determine where we were with my fidgety charges in tow. The museum was the only disappointment of the trip. I’d expected my eight kids to be awestruck by the masterpieces of art. They weren’t. I expected them to wait breathlessly while we strolled, admiring the paintings, tapestries and sculpture. They didn’t. They were impressed by the mummy but that probably came from exposure to old horror flicks on late night T.V. The only other art works that drew a noticeable reaction—and that of giggles and chuckles—were the nudes. I had to smile at my girls with their superior attitude of sophistication. “Oh, those boys. They’re so immature. They just don’t appreciate great art," remarked one miss as a madonna with a partially bared breast sent the guys snickering from the room. Leaving culture behind, the kids raced back to the bus for the last leg of the drive to Williamsburg and our quarters for the next two nights. ‘‘Oh what fools these mortals be.” Shakespeare could have easily been referring to the management of our motel when he penned that deathless line. When the teachers checked at the desk for keys, they found that the boys were rooming downstairs, the girls upstairs and the chaperones in the next building. For obvious reasons, we couldn’t stick with that arrangement. It took a little while but Mrs. Henry finally managed to juggle room assignments until she had the boys upstairs with their chaperones—geography teacher Roger Touhey and parents George Cooke and Irvin Kenyon. Two dozen girls were next door with special education teacher Donna Gordeuk and the rest had rooms downstairs from the boys. Susan Henry, science teacher Lynne Baines, math teacher Becky Monger, phys ed teacher Cathy Lowe and parents Mary Schumaker, Judy Harrison, Mary Touhey and myself made up the downstairs adult forces. After a few minutes to unpack our bags, it was off to the visitor’s center for a Film, "The Story of a Patriot.” We watched Patrick Henry, George Washington and young Tom Jefferson, members of the Virginia House of Burgesses, walk the streets of Williamsburg during those momentous months before the colonies declared their independence. We saw the transformation of Thomas Frye (portrayed by award winning actor Jack Lord from loyal British subject to fervent revolutionary. 1 he movie was a Dig nit. The theater was quiet as a tomb while the film was going on and at the final curtain, the kids burst into spontaneous applause. Next on the itinerary was the Wax Museum where Indians attacked settlers, Boston patriots dumped tea into Boston harbor. Minute Men died at Lexington and Concord, Paul Revere carried the news that the British were coming, Washington crossed the Deleware and the Americans won their final victory—and independence—by defeating Cornwallis at Yorktown. At the museum, Rappahannock's seventh graders learned from living American history instead of reading sets of dry facts from a book. Now, when they think about Valley Forge, they’ll hear the voice of the soldier in the Wax Museum, complaining because he had no shoes for his'frost -bitten feet and no food for his empty stomach. They’ll remember General Washington, praying in the snow to be worthy of the courage displayed by hir men. If they’d played a few bars of “God Bless America,” I could have worked up a regular torrent of patriotic tears. Chaperones were dragging after we routed out kids from the first of several over-priced gift shops. (Is there any other kind?) If asked, I would have put money on the kids dropping likf flies as soon as we got back to the motel. I would have lost a bundle. 1 never ventured upstairs so I can’t speak for the boys but the girls were determined to last our till dawn. They took baths and got into pajamas easily enough. A few watched television. Others got together to dance or gossip. Several chaperones braved laughs from the younger generation and tried their hands—or rather their feet—at learning “with it” disco steps like the L.A. Hustle and the Freak. When the kids do it, it looks easy. When adults try it, it looks impossible. The grown-ups trot the message and cave up after a couple of songs. Another group gathered in the hall with Cathy Lowe and her guitar. We started out with current hits but it’s hard to sing along with disco. After trying folk songs, we switched to rock ‘n’ roll oldie goldies from the fifties and sixties. We lost the kids. “Chantilly Lace,” "Teen Angel,” and “Wake Up Little Suzie” moved them not at all. At 11 p.m., lights went out and the girls went to their rooms but not to sleep. Chaperones sat guard in the hall until 3 a.m. when the last whispers died away before they, too, hit the sack. My last waking though was "Williamsburg is made for walking and these feet aren’t.” (Next week: Williamsburg and our own battle of Yorktown.) The Little Fox Texas Boy Choir Excellence and variety are the two words which best describe The Texas Boys Choir who will appear Saturday, February 3 in the Culpeper High School auditorium. The performance begins at 8 p.m. and is sponsored by the Culpeper Community Concert Association of which Rappahannock is a part. These young Texans, who range in ige from 9-14, have done many things to rightfully earn high praise. Excellence is the minimum goal for the Texas Boys Choir member in everything he does. From the moment the boy passes his initial audition, he adopts as a second home the Choir’s spacious facility at Fort Worth. Here he is given guidance and instruction to enable him to pursue excellence, not only in music, but in every aspect of his life, from personal grooming habits to intellectual pursuits. It does not stop there—the second element is variety. For nearly two of its three decades, the boys have included non-traditional presentations in their programs. They come on stage fully costumed for musical extravaganzas. The choirs expansive, modern wardrobe contains over a thousand complete costume outfits. TEXAS BOYS CHOIR will perform Saturday evening in the Culpeper High School auditorium at 8 p.m. The program is sponsored by the Culpeper Community Concert Association. Delegate Beard Reports Walking out of the House Chambers the other day with fellow Delegate Clinton Miller from Shenandoah, he remarked “A bill a day, that means we will be here 1580 more days.” It is hard to believe that for three straight days during the regular session we only worked on three controversial bills. We had to adjourn, go to committee hearings and reconvene at 4:30 until 6:00 p.m. or later. As mentioned last year, it’s awfully hard on a self-winding watch and if this keeps up, I’ll have to get another kind because of the debate and all that sitting. Luckily over 700 bills did not make the cutoff date, so we are behind in bill numbers compared to the short 1977 Session. Now, if we can kill one-half of the remainder, the State may not De so oaa on. One bill I supported in spite of editorials in a Culpeper and Orange paper was a bill to protect Independent Service Stations from encroachment of cutrate stations, which are run by Oil Companies. The bill is not as bad as the Oil Companies and Richmond papers indicated. All present cut-rate stations can remain, and only if the Oil Companies open new ones, must they be dealer operated. My argument was that the Independents render so much more service than the cutrates. Besides, who’s going to fix your flat tire if the Independents are driven out of business? Another interesting bill that was passed exempted church-operated day care centers from being licensed by the Department of Public Welfare. One of those bills that took all day was a bill to allow localities who have their own power plants to band together and form their own Regional Authority in order to reduce the cost of electricity. It only passed by three votes and it included the towns of Front Royal and Culpeper. A bill was passed 59 to 6 to reduce the compulsory school attendance from 17 to 16. This should help a little on the school discipline problem and I sincerely hope that some means will be devised so these youngsters can gain useful employment. A real test between the urban and rural delegations took place on the Michie bill, legislation that would increase appropriations to Cities, Counties and Towns as compensation for a moratorium on annexation. The trouble with this bill is it is based entirely on population, which means that the urban areas woulu wind up with the largest share of our taxpayers' money. It was a blatant attempt to fill their coffers as a result of the annexation moratorium. It is true all our counties and towns would receive more state money including payment by the State for all Judges’, Sheriffs’, and Commonwealth Attorneys’ salaries. This relieves our counties of supplementing their pay. Here is the kicker. This bill will cost the State an additional $150 million dollars and no provision has been made for this in the Budget. It was passed before we even knew if we could afford it. The immediate assumption is that in 1980, our sales tax may have to be raised to fund it. This would create an additional hardship on our young people starting out and on the elderly on fixed incomes. Add this to inflation and something has got to give. The bill is now on its way to the Senate. Our only hope is that we have a tremendous growth in the State’s economy and inflation will subside. A controversial bill that passed last week was a bill sponsored by Delegate Lemmon to establish a grievance committee for teachers. This bill was not referred to a subcommittee nor was it fully discussed at the Education Committee meeting. Consequently, it took about an hour of debate on the floor. It was amended profusely and Lord knows what the Senate will do to it. I do not believe it will do opr teachers a nickel’s worth of George Beard good the way it is now. They cannot discuss wages, transfers, position classifications, emergencies or any operational changes. I did not vote at all on this bill because I asked for and did np^receive an answer to what the cost to the teacher or the School Board will be. This Committee is to be composed of five members selected by the grieved teacher, five by the School Board. They each share the cost of the Committee on an equal basis. The slim argument I got was it would save in court cost. You and I both know if neither party is satisfied, they will go to court anyway, which is an additional cost on top of the committee cost. The Bill also states the School Board has the final say over the Grievance Committee. I am convinced so far that this Session has not been a very productive one on some major issues.
