The move was preceeded by a wide ranging discussion on special education set off by considerations of the six-year plan for ounty schools. Board member Walter Masterson proposed that the school board seek to employ Dr. Rodney Tilman, retiring dean of the George Washington University College of Education. Masterson said Tilman was highly recommended by officials at George Mason University. He added that Tilman had done similar evaluation work for several other Northern Virginia school districts. According to Masterson, PETER H. LUKE Luke Announces Candidacy For Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter H.-Lyke yhas. announced that he is a candidate for -the Office of Commonwealth Attorney for Rappahannock County in the November election. He is 31 years old, a graduate of Culver Military Academy, Culver, Ind. and the University of V'irginia, where he received his B. A. degree in 1969. He received his law degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1972 and was admitted to practice law in Virginia the same year. He has since done post-graduate work at the National Law Center of George Washington University. Luke is a former policeman with the City of Virginia Beach and was a Captain and Judge-Advocate with the United Statee Air Force from 1972 to 1977. During two of those years he served as a military prosecutor. Also, while in the military, Luke served as legal advisor to various boards, groups and committees. In 1976 he worked for the White House and the Justice Department as staff counsel to the Presidential CleMttncy Board. For the past two years Luke has been in private law practice in Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties. He is an Emergency Medical Technician and was formerly lieutenant of the Marshall Rescue Squad. Luke is married to Sharon Genebach Luke, who is also an attorney, and the couple practice law together in the firm of Luke and Genebach, Ltd. They reside near Amissville. Luke has stated that while the position of Commonwealth Attorney is an elected one, he believes the office should function in a strictly non-political manner. He feels his previous work in law enforcement, as a prosecutor in the military, and as legal advisor to various military and civilian groups, gives him the experience necessary to perform all aspects of the job of Commonwealth Attorney for Rappahannock County. Traffic Picks Up On Campaign Trail Political activity in Rappahannock is on the upswing as both new faces and incumbents begin to gear up for the November local elections. Contacted last week, two of the county supervisors have declared their intentions to seek another term, one will not actively run and two remain undecided. H. B. Wood, representative from Stonewall-Hawthome District said he hadn't given much thought to the election but added that he intended to try for his third term. Wood’s family is something of a tradition on the Rappahannock Board with his father, Henry Wood, serving as supervisor from 1947 until 1971. Edwin "Butch” Eastham, supervisor from Wakefield District, stated that he planned to seek a second terms unless unexpected developments occur to change his mind. E. P. Luke from Piedmont District, current chairman of . the board, has announced that he will not actively seek reelection. He said his decision was influenced by his son, Flint Hill attorney Peter Luke, being a caniContinued on Page!2) Tilman charges $100 per day for his services. Evalution normally takes from two to three weeks plus three or four follow-up visits, Masterson said. Asked how the project would be funded, Superintendent William Bloomer answered that funds could come from either instructional or in-service training categories. “I’d like to know more about this fellow,” ininterjected board member Paul Nichols. “He’s been a teacher, an elementary principal, a county superintendent and state superintendent (in Minnesota),” Masterson responded. He emphasized that Tilman’s specialty was curriculum and primary instruction. ‘‘He’d work primarily with grades one through three,” Masterson said. Masterson moved that the board ‘‘attempt to seek” Tilman’s services, explaining that the retiring dean might not be available. Before a vote, Nichols again attempted to find out more about the man, suggesting that Dr. Bloomer check Tilman’s experience in working with primary students and training elementary teachers. Masterson explained that the wording of the motion, by stipulating that the board y would ‘‘seek to employ” Tilman, gave Bloomer the oppommily to prim —a4~. ditional information. The board voted four to one, with Nichols opposed, to endorse Masterson’s proposal. Six-Year Plan Following a special budget session for “public, input”, the school board reconvened its recessed February 20 meeting to adopt the six-year plan for county schools required by the state. In reference to statements of objectives included in the plan, board member Alan Stokes suggested changing several “will’s” to “should’s”, specifically in the area of special education. The objectives stated that: (Continued on Page 9) MRS. MARY CLEVERLEY Mary Cleverley Plans Retirement By BECKY BURKE Rappahannock News Special Writer Electoral Board members, county government employees and friends feted Mrs. Mary Geverley with a retirement party in the Health Department offices last week. Jack Carney, on behalf of the Electoral Board, presented her with a pendant on tne reverse "Registrar 3-171 to -2-28-79.” He praised Mrs. Geverley, who served two terms as General Registrar for Rappahannock County, for her dedicated service. A self-described “damn Yankee” (she was born, raised and married in Massachusetts near Cape Cod), Mrs. Geverley will retire to a home in the village 3f Flint Hill. The house itself is a testimony to “Yankee ingenuity.” A full year of planning went into the design )f the house which is essentially barrier free to illow freedom of movement or even someone confined to i wheelchair. She does not Musical Planned by RCHS Students Planning and hard work has just begun for an allschool musical, "My Fair Lady” which is scheduled for presentation on April 6 and 7 at Rappahannock County High School. Major parts have been filled and casting continues for the play. According to Kim Wood, a RCHS teacher and play sponsor, Liz Freeman has been cast in the role of Eliza Doolittle, for her wonderful cockney accent and beautiful voice. She is a tenth grader. Suit Filed By The Inn Patrick O’Connell and Reinhart Lynch, proprietors of The Inn at Little Washington, filed a bill of complaint in Rappahannock Circuit Court on Monday, March 5. By the action, they seek to expedite sale of the building in which their restaurant is located. According to the bill, Lynch and O’Connell have an option to buy the Country Store property under the terms of a lease agreement with Louise Sagalyn and Peter Labovitz, dated April 1, 1977. Lynch and O’Connell alledge in their suit that Mrs. Sagalyn has refused to go to settlement after being presented with duly signed and notarized sales agreements on January 1, January 23 and February 27, 1979. The bill of complaint notes that Mrs. Sagalyn will be free to sell the property to anyone as of April 1, 1979, when the option to buy expires unless a contract is on file in the clerk’s office or unless the sales transaction is completed. Therefore, O’Connell and Lynch have asked the court to intervene to protect their investment in renovating the building and establishing their restaurant business. While no date has been set for a hearing on the bill of complaint, a hearing on a permanent injunction previously requested by O’Connell and Lynch to prevent Sagalyn or Labovitx from interfering with the Inn’s operations is scheduled for Tuesday, March 12, at 11 a.m. in the court house. Terry Woodard, a senior, was chosen to portray Henry Higgins, not only for his musical talent but also for his charm and sophistication. Steve Dennis, another senior, has been selected as Eliza’s father. He is a member of the school choir. Another senior, Kenny Eline, will play Higgins’ companion. Col. Pickering. Finally, Frian Fitzek is cast as Freddy Hill, one of Eliza’s suitors. A host of other characters will be included in the production and tryouts were held after school Friday. In order for the play to be a success, not only do the players need to be in top form, but so do their costumes and set. Some items are especially difficult to find so ‘‘dig out your trunks, search your attics and please lelp the drama department it the school,” asked Ms. Wood. Items needed include tail coats, evening gowns, evening gloves for both the ladies and men, top hats, capes, ball gowns, derbies, elaborate ladies hats with plumes, walking sticks, chauffeur’s uniform with cap and boot tops, footmen’s livery coats, breeches, etc., and maid’s uniforms. Also turn-of-thecentury furniture is needed for the set. If you have any of these or know of pny, the school would be pleased to bear from you.

Mrs. Cleverley describes her house as an example of how living quarters can be constructed to accommodate handicapped and elderly persons. In preparation for her own retirement, she designed the house to be relatively maintenance free, both inside ang put... While “Yankee ingenuity” is evident in the house, Mrs. Cleverley’s home abounds with “Southern hospitality.” Mrs. Cleverley came to Rappahanock County with her husband, Franklin Thomas Cleverley, in the middle 1940’s. She and “Gev” (as she affectionately refers to him) were visiting his cousins in Front Royal and decided to accompany them to view a farm down Route 647 from Flint Hill which the cousins were (Continued on Page 9) Farmers Market Finds A Home If all goes according to plan, the Rappahannock Farmers Market will begin operations on May 1 next door to the new site of the Farmers Cooperative on Route 211, just outside the town of Washington. Organizers of the market culminated months of effort by reaching tentative agreement on occupancy with Flatwood Trust, owners of the property. A lease is being worked out and will have to be approved by both the Farmers Market and Flatwood Trust representatives before arrangements are finalized, according to Farmers Market president Truman Keesey. “In the community, enthusiasm about the market is running high, and every day more producers and craftspeople indicate interest in participating,” said Keesey. “Likewise, as starting time approaches, there is increasing consumer interest both in Rappahannock and outside the county.” A special meeting will be held Tuesday, March 13, ht 7:30 p.m. in the Washington Baptist Church to accept applications and membership dues for the market. Seasonal memberships will be S25. Membership to reserve space for one day will be S2.50. Initially, organizers anticipate that the market will be open Fridays and Saturdays. As the season progresses and more produce is available, plans call for it to open on Sunday'also. Anyone interested in idling either locally grown Recommended School Budget Is $1,512,928 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer In his presentation at the school board meeting on March 6, Superintendet William Bloomer recommended adoption of a 1979-80 school budget that totals $1,512, 928—an increase of 17.7 percent over the current year. In the budget sheets, Bloomer listed line item appropriations side by side in two categories; one his recommended budget that will expand school services and the other a basic budget that will maintain services at their current level except where increases are required to meet state mandate standards of quality. The basic budget totals $1,404,092—a 9.2 increase from the current year. Bloomer emphasized that the board may adopt, on each line item, the recommended budget appropriation or the basic appropriation or some other figure in between the two. The basic budget will require $671,073 in local tax money—$117,343 more than this year. “That’s a 16.6 percent increase in county funds for the basic,” noted Newbill Miller. “How much is it for the recommended?” Bloomer answered that he hadn’t computed the percentage of increase in local funds needed to support his recommended budget. The recommended budget requires $787,633 from Rappahannock’s general fund. Regular Instruction The recommended budget includes seven percent salary increases for all school personnel, as requested by the Rappahannock County Educational Association at last week’s public input session for the budget. If approved, a beginning teacher would receive $9,500 while a teacher with 15 year's experience would get $13,250. The seven percent increase recommended by Bloomer would also apply to salaries of substitutes, aides, administrators, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, secretaries and all other nonprofessional personnel. The recommended budget calls for three new teaching positions, an increase of approximately seven percent for supplements paid for advanced degrees, and a new position of special services coordinator with a salarv of $17,500. The basic categories under instruction do not include the special services coordinator third teaching position, or (Continued on Page 8) Stiffer Slope Controls Pondered For Zoning Law By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock *rw» Swff Writer At their March 1 board meeting, the Rappahannock supervisors indicated that they will institute new administrative procedures to have the county engineer and zoning administrator check ALL subdivisions of land for compliance with zoning ordinance regulations on minimum slope. “If we want to be strict, we can be strict but we have to be strict with everybody,” stated chairman E. P. Luke. The issue of slope in lots that don’t fall under subdivision ordinance controls produce and other agricultural products or handmade crafts should attend the March 13 meeting at the Baptist Church. For further information, contact Truman Keesey at 675-3818 or the VPI extension office, 675-3619. arose in connection with approval of C. L. Goode’s proposed '' Flfnt Hill development. The supervisors denied rezoning for the 14 lot, fiveacre subdivision in August, 1977. Goode filed suit challenging the county’s action. The case has been repeatedly continued and is still before the court with the next hearing date scheduled for March 12. In the meantime, however, Goode applied for approval under the county’s subdivision ordinance in December, 1978. Following a public hearing on February 1, 1979, the supervisors ruled that his proposed development did not “substantially comply” with ordinance requirements on slope. They based their decision on the fact that each of the 14 lots did not have five acres below 14 percent slope as required by the subdivision ordinance. Attorney Qaude Compton, representing Goode, told the supervisors on Thursday that the entire 77 acre tract has “a little better than five acres of less than 14 percent slope for each building site” if viewed as a whole. “Are you all taking any position about adjusting the number of lots?” asked H. U. Wood, referring to the supervisors’ recommendation that Goode eliminate at least one lot.

Luke explained that he didn’t want to create even the appearance of conflict of interest by having both father and son involved in county government. ( As Commonwealth Attorney for Rappahannock, Peter Luke would also serve as legal advisor to the board of supervisors. Under Virginia law, however, his election would not present a conflict of interest should his father remain on the board of supervisors.) “It’s time for the older generation to step aside and let the younger generation in to run things,” said Col. Luke. He added that he would not refuse the positior of supervisor for Piedmont District if elected by write-in oanot. Hampton District supervisor Clarence Baldwin reported that he had yet to make up his mind or whether to be a candidate. “I decided at one time not to run,” said Baldwin, addin that he agreed to reconsider his candidacy at the request of a number of his constituents. “I will make an announcement in the next week or so,” Baldwin said. Dick Latham, supervisor for Jackson District, said he was also undecided on seeking another term and would make an announcement on his candidacy by April 1. To date, the race for Rappahannock County Sheriff has drawn three contestants. Incumbent W. A. Buntin will face challenges in November from former Sheriff John Walker Jenkins, who was defeated by Buntin in the 1975 elections, and Edward M. Corbin of Amissville. In the contest for Commonwealth Attorney, incumbent George Davis will not seek reelection, leaving the field clear for a struggle between attorneys Douglas Baumgardner and Peter p*ke, both of whom practice in the county. In the county’s other constitutional offices, Treasurer Frances Foster will seek re-election. Commissioner of Revenue Virginia Smith said last week that she hadn’t decided yet if she would run.

Red Cross Canvass The American Red Cross exists solely to serve others. Its effectiveness is based on the volunteer spirit of local citizens. Volunteers are the heart of the varied Red Cross programs and countless acts of personal assistance which make the Red Cross a true Good Neighbor. But providing these services also requires staff and supporting structure for the army of volunteers who do so much of the work. While relying on the active involvement of the American people to carry out its programs, the Red Cross is financially dependent on their individual contributions. The minimum regular membership contribution is $1; however, other classes of membership are available for contributions above this level. It is for these types of contributions that Lt. General Hugh Exton of Amissville and Attorney Wallace N. Selected For Gifted School Judith Bloomer, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Bloomer of Sperryville, has been selected from a list of more than 600 nominees, to participate in Virginia's seventh Governor’s School for the Gifted.

Other chapters conduct the annual March membership enrollments or fund-raising campaigns such as the one beginning this week when the volunteer comes to your door. Schooling On Hazardous Materials A fifteen-hour fire school training program on hazardous materials was held the weekend of March 3 and 4 at the Amissville fire house under the auspices of the Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association. Enrollment was 90 firemen from Fauquier, Culpeper and Orange in addition' to Rappahannock. Instructors were Fire Chiefs Dolezel and Barfield of Chesterfield County. Training was received on the proper tactics for combating fires originating from materials as propane, heating oils and gasoline. More and more chemicals and fuels are transported by trucks and railroads through communities every day. When traffic accidents occur with vehicles carrying these combustible materials, rural areas will have the knowledge necessary to deal with them. ++++ He that calls a man ungrateful sums up all the evil that a man can be guilty of. —Jonathan Swift Citizens of Rappahannock I, Frances A.

That is, unless you reinvest your proceeds in another home or are over 65. Therefore, those who profit from a home sale, put the check in the bank and rent an apartment, should not overlook any legitimate expenses which would reduce the size of the taxable gain. Expenses such as the Realtor’s commissions, deed preparation, legal and appraisal fees, and any escrow fees, can be taken off the top. So-called “ftx-up” expenses also can lead to tax savings. This ‘‘fix-up” work must be done during the 90 day period before the sale and payment must be made no later than 30 days after the sale.

The supervisors learned at last Thursday’s board meeting that they wont’ receive the money until the coming biennium (July 1, 1980-82) and then they’ll be told by the state how they can spend it. “They’re going to give it back to us when it was ours to start with,” commented supervisor H. B. Wood. “They’re going to give it back but they’re telling us what to do with it.” Reading a letter from John Capele, executive director for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, supervisor chairman E. P. Luke reported that the bill apportioning the state’s $150 million surplus awaited FHVFD1978 Report Flint Hill volunteers responded to 61 fire calls and 100 rescue calls during 1978. They spent 128 hours maintaining equipment. In addition 250 hours were spent in fire training and 370. hours in rescue training. The Flint Hill Fire Company responded to 15 structural fires, 16 field and brush fires, 11 auto accidents, 2 auto fires, 7 dumpster fires, 8 public service calls and 2 miscellaneous calls. This unit travelled 580 miles and expended 480 man hours. The Rescue Unit of Flint Hill travelled 4,175 miles and spent 455 man hours in responding to 22 transports, 47 illnesses, 9 home accidents, 18 auto accidents, 2 shootings, 1 fight and 1 public service call.

If signed into law, House Bill 599 will allocate $47,109 to Rappahannock, $201,558 to Fauquier, $170,571 to Culpeper, $94,600 to Madison and $117,945 to Orange. The total received in Planning District Nine will amount to $728,637. The bill, however, also mandates the categories in which the money can be spent. In Rappahannock, $345 will go towards statelocal hospitalization for indigents; $10,707 for Commonwealth Attorney’s office; $4,411 for Circuit Court Judges and $31,725 for the Sheriffs Department. Sponsored by Delegate Thomas J. Michie, HB 599 is part of a package of three bills designed to settle annexation issues between urban cities and counties and to correct funding inequities between core cities, urbanizing counties and rural counties. The package bill includes a section on roads that gives cities more highway money and allocates additional hinds to rural counties with unpaved secondary roads. With passage of the portion relating to annexation, some counties will . receive protection from apy annexation suits by neighboring cities. The bill sets up a mechanism to be followed in future annexation suits with the goal of keeping such suits out of lengthy and expensive court battles. HB 599, the funding bill in the package, is intended to cover the local share for 1980-82 of costs for the sheriff’s departments, commonwealth attorney offices, circuit court judges and hospitalization for the indigent. The amount allocated to each locality was determined through an intricate funding formula, taking into account population, density, crime rate and welfare rate, among other factors. Currently, there is a statewide moratorium on annexation. It will be lifted if the three Michie bills go into effect and if the $150 million surplus still exists in 1980 so that the bills can be funded. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Thomas E. Eastham and wife to A.

The giant utility has announced that it is now going into the business of generating political power. The prospect of Vepco for BOWLES mally getting into politics is enough to send a chill down the spins of every resident of the Commonwealth, yet that is exactly what the company says it is going to do. In an announcement last week, Vepco unveiled plans to organize what it calls an employees’ political action committee to be known as the “Committee for Responsible Government.” While technically independent of Vepco, the committee will be headed by an array of the company’s high-ranking executives. These include William W. Berry, Vepco executive vice president who will serve as. chairman, EL Ashby Baum, executive manager for licensing and quality assurance, C. L. Dozier Jr., manager of general accounting services, M. Courtney Taylor, assistant corporate secretary and Randolph D. Mclver, vice president of the company’s southern division. Will Solicit Funds According to the announcement, the committee will be authorized to solicit voluntary personal contributions from employees and stockholders of Vepco. These funds will be used to “encourage support for responsible government and preservation of the free enterprise system by the nomination and election to federal, state and local office of candidates supporting these causes.” This, we submit, is highsounding hogwash. Any concern Vepco has for the free enterprise system must be concern in the abstract. The company, as a protected monopoly, is untouched by competition and, indeed, the last thing on earth they would want would be to have to operate within the free enterprise system. Further, the company s critics contend that if Vepco were subjected to the disciplines of the open market, it would fold within a month. Presumably this particular “cause” is addressed to keeping the rest of us pure. The announcement goes on to say “expenditures may also be made to prepare literature and to encourage adoption of appropriate legislation." Appropriate legislation? Appropriate to whom and for what purpose? One thing we can be sure of, and that is it vflt not be appropriate to the concerns of the utility ratepayers of Virginia, and with the oil shortages which apparently lie dead ahead, those concerns will be mounting with each costly turn of our home electric meters. Prepare literature? Literature? Propaganda What kind of literature? Why, propaganda of course. It will be designed to persuade us that the behevolent Reddy Kilowatt really does need the future rate hikes, the candidates and legislation which the company’s newly' formed political action arm will be pushing. All of this raises a basic and disturbing question. Why, with its already formidable and highly effective lobby, does the company feel a need at this juncture to plunge openly into politics? Any answer must be speculative, but one reason could be that already suggested. With the coming shortages of fuels and the rising prices which will inevitably accompany those shortages, there will be a growing public clamor for closer scrutiny and regulation of not only Vepco, but of all utilities. Legislative Firewall It is possible that the company is launching this effort to build a legislative firewall against such increased controls further down the road. From Vepco’s perspective, it would be a logical and understandable precaution. But from the standpoint of the electricity consumers who pay the freight, the prospect is very nearly unthinkable. Political power in the hands of the utilities would mean added influence, if not control, over the State Corporation Commission, the courts and any other bodies elected by the General Assembly or appointed by the governor. Carried to its brutally logical conclusion, it could make a grim reality of the bumper stickers we occasionally see on cars which say, “Welcome to Virginia—Owned and Operated by Vepco.” Letters To The Editor Suffer Little Children To the editor: The statements made by some school board members are grossly unfair to the handicapped. Education of any child is not a guaranteed thing. How many of the “average" children the board members are so cncerned about will become society’s burdens through mental illness, prisons and the unfortunate circumstances of permanent illness. When special schools or programs are available for the handicapped I do not think they should be “mainstreamed.” However, it is the responsibility of the school system to channel these children into other programs. If nothing is available, what does the school board suggest the parents do with their handicapped child? Maybe in Medieval times they were locked in closets and forgotten but in this enlightened age, we know the handicapped can be contributing members of society. History proves this by boasting many admirable people who overcame their handicaps to become world known. Among these were Winston Churchill, Helen Keller, Beethoven, Franklin Roosevelt. Albert Einstein was slow to learn and slow to speak. This is taken from the Cumberland Evening Times—Monday, December 8, 1930. The article is concerning handicapped children. It stated a National Research Council has been studying handicapped children, but so far most of this work is confined to a few big cities. Children with minor defects, the sort most easily corrected if taken in time, are usually more neglected than children with worse defects. One reason for the existence of such conditions is the persistence in the minds of many citizens of the belief that special education for the handicapped children is charity, as a matter of fact it would be sound policy, since it would help to develop happier, more efficient citizens. But aside from charity or policy, love of little children should arouse the public to do more for them.” You would think that in nearly a half a century more progress would have been made to help the handicapped. Flint Hill ESTER SETTLE Worth And Dignity To the editor: I’d like to thank you for your March 1 editorial defending the value of special education programs and the worth and dignity of those human beings who, because of unfortuante handicaps, are in need of these programs.

Joseph Scherschel of Flint Hill, photographer with National Geographic, took this and many more pictures in a recent trip to Australia and will present a slide show at the Rappahannock County Library in Washington on March 22. The public is invited to attend this presentation without charge. Premier Of Scherschel’s Australia 1978 Joseph J. Scherschel, National Geographic’s Assistant Director of Photography, will give the first showing of his Australia Outback slide production on March 22 at the Rappahannock Library. This will be a special preview free of charge for the citizens of* Rappahannock county. Joseph Scherschel lives at Flint Hill and works out of the National Geographic headquarters in Washington, D. C. During 1978 he travelled twice into Australia to do the photographs for the lead article in the February 1979 issue of National Geographic Magazine, on a path that followed the route of Burke and Wills, the first crossing of Australia into the Outback. Scherschel brought back hundreds of his own photographs which he has organized into a fascinating production. He will use a battery of 6 projectors and the most sophisticated sound equipment to show his pictures. The program is free, at the Rappahannock County Library, 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 22. Adults and children alike will find it a great adventure. Letter To The Editor Social Promotion Criticized To the editor: I beseech your attention on a matter concerning one of your recent articles— Remedial Help Offered Competency Test Failures, January 18, 1979. I am a member of a paralegal organization appropriately named the Renaissance Committee. Our interests concern most aspects of the law; however, our concerns branch out far beyond the realms of law. would like to offer our assistance in any manner in which we might be able to help. With our interests and concerns as they are, your article immediately drew attention. We surmised that under-educated and poorly educated students will eventually come to prison. Prison records attest this summarization. Throughout the prison system in this country you will find former students with a reading average of approximately 6.5 grade or lower. This statistic does not refer only to students who have not finished high school. On the contrary, this statistic encompasses two-year college graduates. Therefore, most of our children are being poorly educated and advanced to the next higher grade. This practice must cease. It is harming the students far more than it is helping them. Prisons are overcrowded with students who were rushed through school. An inmate named Jerome Little and myself have worked in the school and library areas as aides for over three years. During this time, students and other inmates have approached us in need for assistance. We finally arrived at the conclusion that we could explain matters or issues in five minutes and have the pupil understand what some teachers have not been able to explain during the course of an entire semester. Little and I toyed with the idea of working with students prior to taking the GED test. We believed if we could teach the principles, theories, rules, and test-taking techniques related to basic education, the students’ chances for passing the GED would be more inevitable. One school administrator liked the idea and allowed us to proceed with a GED prep class. The class we taught lasted approximately six weeks, but everyone taking the GED test passed. The pretext from which we taught was to know and fully understand, as opposed to remembering. The techniques we used worked and we have been having astounding passing rates for approximately two and a half years now. I believe that teacher aides are needed in every basic education classroom. Most students require individual attention and that may prove too burdensome on a single teacher. The teacher aide concept should have been implemented and adhered to a long time ago. This would be a small price to pay for the continued existence of this country. For the same students who are rushed through school now without a full understanding of what the teacher is propagating will be in prison or attempting to solve the problems of this nation as engineers, doctors, scientists, teachers, and politicians. I personally find that the fault lies with everyone involved (pupil, teacher, school board, and parent). Every student in the world has a fear of dying of boredom. So he is more apt to pay less attention in school and do small things to keep himself amused. Our teachers were once students themselves. So the chances are that they are not competent themselves. A competency test should be given to the teachers annually. The school board should make evaluations without the teachers’ full knowledge. Above all, the school board should render their fifth grade level competency test to fifth graders and a tenth grade competency test to tenth graders. Ever since the forever-loving parents have intervened on the strictness the teachers could enforce, which now subsides as none, fewer students have been retained on the same educational level, and even fewer students learn. 1 suggest that the parents let the teachers teach and discipline their students in a manner conducive towards the learning process. James Futrell is making a gallant effort to save the face of his peers, for remedial help should have been detected and offered in the primary grades. I am very sorry to say that our problem is not local, regional, or merely statewide—it is a national problem. No one solution can rid us of this plague that is festering throughout this country, and I definitely think a solution is not going to come from the school administrators. I would think if school administrators were the least bit enthused in their profession (and I use the word ‘profession’ sarcastically) this problem would have been curtailed or well attended to by the entrance in the fourth grade.

Parents of graduating high school students, please encourage your child to apply. ---Letters -- Plea For Understanding To the editor: With such opinion and statements on special education, I’m surprised the Rappahannock School Board members believe in education at all. As a parent of a handicapped child, I am thankful that the state and federal governments understand the needs of children not as fortunate as the “plain little average child.” God only knows how the school board members would react if they were to have a child that was diagnosed as disabled or developmental^ delayed. Would they feel that their own child would “amount to nothing?” Everyday my son is improving. It may take him years before he is able to sit or walk and learn to talk but with these special programs,' at least he and other handicapped children have the chance and hope of becoming' functional people. Do the members of the school board believe that by keeping these children uneducated that the children will become less of a burden to society? Evidently, the school board members do not participate in any special education programs. Neither are they aware of the progress that these children have or have not made. It should be a requirement for each member of the board to attend at least one or two sessions so that they will understand the purpose and use of these educational programs rather than just knowing the name before they pass judgement upon the programs and the students. Placing the value of the dollar before the education of children is far from reducing the “burden of society.’’ DEBRA JO COMBS Shocking And Unfounded To the editor: After refraining from writing concerning the last article on the school board, the editorial this past week has compelled me to do so. The statement concerning handicapped children made by one of the members was “shocking.” Not only was it unfounded, it was unchristian. I get the distinct feeling that the majority of the board members consider themselves beyond reproach. What qualifications do they have to determine what a child can or cannot do? Anyone connected with education should have the need of the children as their main concern, obviously the board does not. 1 have always been under the impression that the school board is a policy making organization. We are paying prime salaries to Drs. Bloomer and McDaniel to make academic decisions, since they are the academic experts. Two examples come to mind: 1. The subject of substitute teachers at the February 20 meeting. Because Mrs. Massie didn’t know the people applying and Mr. Masterson made the statement that they are “new in the community” makes them unfit? It rings of a bit of bigotry. 2. The porposal to hire a retired dean of a local university as a $100.00 a day consultant for reading. The board with the exception of one member passed it without any questioning on the last time the man was in a classroom, or his knowledge of rural schools. How can the teachers teach, and the administrators administrate, when their hands are tied by the school board? And who is suffering? The children. MARY A. SCHUMAKER “New in the Community” Preventive Medicine h To the editor: Reference is made to the editorial on Special Education in the March 1 issue of the Rappahannock News. There are some thoughts that I would share with Mrs. Quaintance and the members of the school board in view of their position. Several years ago, l was privileged to attend a Cleft Palate Seminar at the Lancaster Cleft Palate Clinic in Lancaster, Pa. Cleft palates, simply described, are hairlips on one or both sides of the face and perhaps incomplete closure of the palate in the mouth. Speech is difficult for these people and understanding them is difficult. The clefts on the face are very unattractive. It is a sad commentary but plain average people make cleft palate patients the butt of all kinds of cruel jokes. They find it hard to find work and acceptance in society. In too many instances, these people develop anti-social attitudes of varying degrees and end up in prison for having committed one crime or another. Some of these people have stolen, out of frustration for not having employment; this was due to their appearance and very poor speech. I was astounded to learn at the seminar that the State of Pennsylvania underwrites the entire cost of the treatment of these children from birth to adulthood. This is true no matter what the financial position of the parents happens to be. It includes the costs of all surgical treatment, dental treatment, any psychological therapy needed, indeed any expense involving the reconstruction of the person into a useful citizen. The expense per child is considerable. Yet, the state undertakes this because it was determined that it was far cheaper this way than to pay the cost of supporting the same person if he ended up in prison. It is suggested that the school board research how much of our taxes would be used to support one of the 87 children in special education programs. And how about adding up the welfare costs for the rest of their lives? The cleft palate children treated have gone on to become useful, contributing members of society. Who are we to condemn even one of the 87 to a scrap heap of society without a chance to prove himself? In my mind rests another question—the qualifications of the persons arbitrarily dumping the special education children on the scrap heap of society. By the sentiments they have given forth, how would they have treated a Helen Keller, if she was a part of this .community? The list would be a long one of those others that could be mentioned who have risen above the label of “Reject due to need for special education.” Who of us possesses the special gift to foretell the future of one child? In closing, brought to mind is the following quote by Jesus Christ (known to many of us): “As you do to the least of these, so you do unto me.” JOS. E. BORKOWSKI, D.D.S. Professor, Clinical Operative Dentistry Georgetown University School of Dentistry Sperryville The Little Fox

Proposed School Budget Up 17.7 Per Cent (Continued from Page 1) raise in degree supplements. Bloomer explained that the third teacher requested in the recommended budget would allow classroom coverage so that each teacher would have time for a weekly planning period. Other Instructional Costs Categories that show major increases include textbook adoptions ($22,575), tuition at Piedmont Regional School for vocational and special education ($59,302), salaries for aides plus three additional aide positions ($39,231) and workshops and consultants ($7,000). Bloomer said the three new teacher aides were required to meet state mandates for physical education, special education and duty-free lunches. In the category of text book adoptions, Bloomer explained that all the money would come back to the schools within three years through text book rental fees. He said rental charges would equal one-third of the cost of the books. Attendance and health Services Bloomer explained that he’d included $13,000 in the recommended budget for the salary of a full-time psychologist because it might not be possible for the county to continue its current parttime arrangement next year. The current psychologist who is at Rappahannock schools two days per week may be employed full-time in Fauquier next year, he said. Bloomer added that the schools won’t be receiving the part-time services of an educational diagnostician next year. “This (work) could be handled by a full-time psychologist,” he said. Transportation Services The biggest jump in transportation costs is attributable to a request for an additional vehicle to be used for handicapped trans portation. At $16,200, Bloomer noted, the cost of a vehicle equiped for this purpose equals the cost of a new school bus. He reported that five or six handicapped children are currently being transported by their parents for therapy with the school system paying mileage charges. In addition, he said, pre-schoolers in the child development program are being driven to and from school in standard vehicles assigned to administration use. “Frankly, the safety factor scares me,” Bloomer said. He told the school board that one of the CDS children had managed to distract the driver long enough to unlock a back door, open it and swing on the handle as the car traveled at approximately 50 mph. The transportation budget also includes replacement of two buses ($32,400), replacement of a service vehicle ($5,500) and a $2,000 decrease in payments in lieu of transportation (dependant upon purchase of the special education vehicle.) In addition, transportation costs reflect an additional driver (for the special education vehicle), more field trips and rises in gas prices. Operation of School Plants Line items in the category of operation of school plants show only slight increases, both in the basic and recommended budget figures. The only significant jump comes in sewage disposal. In the recommended budget, Bloomer allowed for $8,000 for installment of an aeration system at the elementary lagoon. Likewise, maintenance costs in the basic and recommended budgets show only slight increases over the current year’s appropriations. The largest expenditure in this category is expected to be $17,000 for replacement of half the roof at the elementary school. Fixed Charges and Summer School— Under Fixed charges, Bloomer recommended county payment of mandatory life insurance for school personnel at a cost of approximately $7,300. He also suggested raising liability coverage for school board members. For summer school, Bloomer included no expenditure in either the recommended or basic budget. “Our belief is that if we have summer school, it will be a joint operation with Title I and Title I will pick up most of the costs. We should be able to cover any local share out of our current budget,” he explained. Capital Outlay For furniture and equipment under capital outlay, Bloomer recommended expenditures of $8,000 for gasoline tanks at the new school bus garage site, $4,665 for furniture and $7,300 for track equipment. In both the basic and recommended budget, he allocated $48,750 for three modular units to relieve overcrowding at the high school. “What is the life expectancy of a modular unit?” asked Newbill Miller. “It depends on care and upkeep—somewhere in the neighborhood of eight to ten years,” Bloomer answered. In one of the few budget categories to show a decrease, Bloomer noted that interest on literary loans owed by the school board had gone down from $20,650 to $19,887. Board chairman Beverly Massie reported that the outstanding balance on literary loans for school construction was $669,300 with 20 payments still due on the elementary school, 19 due on one section of the high school and 12 due on another. Bloomer added that the loans were made for 30 years with one payment due each year.

Box 38 Washington, Va. 22747 For the current year, standards of quality established by the General Assembly set the minimum per pupil funding level at $901. Bloomer reported that the coming year’s level had been projected to be $936 per child but had been raised by the Assembly in the recently adjourned session to $960 for 1979-80. State aid to localities is based on the minimum per child funding and anticipated enrollment with both figures worked into a composite index, according to Bloomer. He projected enrollment in Rappahannock schools for 1979-80 at 1,180. Expected Revenue Budget sheets provided by Dr. Bloomer list state funds expected as $386,571—an increase of $13,093 from the current year. Anticipated federal fonds are also up from $46,500 this year to $58,200 in 1979-80. Depending on the amount of sales tax revenue returned to localities for education. Bloomer explained that the county could receive as much as $701,874 in funds other than county revenue money. He noted that the minimum in non-local funds Rappahannock could expect to receive was $663,874. Bloomer added that he anticipated final word from the state on the amount of sales tax revenue to be returned before he began work on balancing the school budget. Who Owns The Old Scrabble School? The Rappahannock Supervisors decided at their March 1 board meeting to continue efforts to gain title to the old Scrabble school, an issue that’s been bubbling on the back burner for 11 years. When sale of the old school was first considered in 1968, the school board discovered it didn’t hold clear title to the property. According to a letter from attorney Douglas Baumgardner read at Thursday’s board meeting, T. C. Lea, now retired from legal practice, was retained in 1968 to clear the title and sell the old school. Although the property was used as a school from the mid 1920’s through the 1960’s when county schools were integrated, no deed of record is on file in the clerk’s office, Baumgardner reported. In his letter, Baumgardner asked the supervisors for authorization to continue efforts to gain clear title, noting that legal fees for the case now totaled almost $1,000. He wrote that he anticipated having to do additional work before a court decree is issued. It s been going on now tor 11 years,” remarked supervisor chairman E. P. Luke. “After all that’s been done, we definitely should get title,” interjected supervisor H. B. Wood. He added he didn’t see any real need for selling the property. Luke continued that he didn’t know what the school board planned to do with the old school, once title was cleared. With all the state mandates for special education coming down from Richmond, Luke guessed the school board might want to renovate the building and use it for classes. What to do with the property—“either keep it or sell it”—is entirely up to the school board, subject to approval from the supervisors, interjected Commonwealth Attorney George Davis. He noted that the land was currently being used by the county as a dumpster site. After a unanimous vote authorizing Baumgardner to proceed in securing clear title, supervisor Clarence Baldwin commented: “Then you can say what you’re going to do with it, after you get possession.” “In Lieu Of Tares” In an effort to speed up compensation for the county under the federal “In Lieu of Taxes” program, Col. Luke agreed to find volunteers to check land records in the clerk’s office. Begun last year, the “In Lieu” program is intended to reimburse localities for tax revenue lost on federally owned land. However, Rappahannock and other counties with acreage in Shenandoah National Park ended up being short changed last year. Due to wording of the bill establishing “In Lieu of Taxes” payments, only land that went directly from private to federal ownership was eligible. This meant that property purchased by the State of Virginia from private owners for the express purpose of expediting transfer to federal ownership was not included for “In Lieu” payments.

Robinson reported on by Luke at Thursday’s board meeting, the Interior Department has agreed to revisions in the program that will allow “In Lieu” payments on any property acquired by the state for the sole purpose of turning the land over to the federal government. However, Luke noted, the property must have been transferred to federal ownership within eight years of being acquired by the state. Luke suggested that volunteers be used to check county land records since he felt it would be easier for local government to certify that property met federal requirements than to have the project done in Richmond. In other action, the supervisors: —endorsed the Rappahannock - Rapidan Planning District’s Emergency Medical Services Council, an organization that will upgrade training and provide courses for rescue and fire department personnel in a five-county area. —approved a $100 petty cash fund for paying maintenance bills for the court house complex. —authorized a $3500 expenditure from funds already budgeted for clerk’s office equipment to buy a new copying machine. —formally approved a fire insurance policy to cover 90 percent of the court house building and contents (valued at $572,113) with Carr and Hyde, agents for Loudoun Mutual. f CARLA EUGSTER Evening Of Poetry Planned Carla Eugster will give a reading of her poems Friday evening March 16 at 8 p.m. at the parish hall of the Episcopal Church in Washington. A musical interlude will be provided by Michael Krueger. Carla Eugster was formerly a government economist and education specialist working with culturally deprived adults and children. She moved to Rappahannock County nine years ago where she founded and directed the Nethers Community School which operated for several years as an innovative familial boarding school for teenagers. Nethers is now being developed by Ms. Eugster as an educational center focused on the arts, and as a retreat for poets and chamber music musicians. The mother of three daughters (two are college graduates from Marlboro and Goddard Colleges, and one is now a sophomore at Wesleyan University), Ms. Eugster is co-ordinator of the Nethers Center, organic gardener, violist, worm farmer and poet. She has written poetry for many years and her work has appeared in several poetry journals. She has given readings in Rappahannock and Madison Counties, in Washington, D. C. and Baltimore. Her poetic drama Freedom Train was produced at the Goucher College Institute of Contemporary Arts. Her most recently published poem will appear in the forthcoming issue of AS IS, a poetry journal of the D. C. area. Ms. Eugster conducts periodic poetry workshops which help the uninitiated to discover their own poetic voices. The next such workshop, sponsored by the Fauquier County Parks and Recreation Department, will start in Warrenton in April. Michael Krueger is a building contractor, mathematician and musician who has frequently delighted Rappahannock audiences with his original works and performance on the autoharp and clarinet. Krueger composed and played the musical accompaniment to the dance productions Difficulty at the Beginning and Getting Together performed locally by the Last Minute Wood Company. He has also performed at concerts of the Rappahannock Choral Society. There is no admission charge to the March 16 program, although a $3 donation would be welcome. Refreshments will be served.

Rappahannock’s First General Registrar Slope Controls (Continued from Page 1) “Not at this point,” Compton answered, noting that Goode was “flat on his back in bed.” He reemphasized that the over-all tract contained five acres under 14 percent slope for each dwelling uit. “Seems to me we’re at the same place we were last time” remarked supervisor Butch Eastham, in reference to the last board meeting when the supervisor denied approval on the basis of three specific lots with area between 0.5 and 2.7 acres over 14 percent slope. Compton, who met with county engineer Fanning Baumgardner for over an hour on February 27, reported it was his understanding that Baumgardner saw “no problem” with the subdivision, providing improved erosion control measures recommended by the county’s Soil and Water Conservation District directors were implemented. He added that elimination of one lot would require changing the layout for the entire subdivision. Wood suggested delaying any action on the subdivision until the supervisors heard from Goode himself. “I have an idea of what his position will be,” Compton responded with a half ch'udkle.' He repeated that' Baumgardner felt the development would be “all right” if it contained an overall average of five acres under 14 percent slope for each building site. Despite C.ompton’s assurances, the supervisors agreed to delay action, pending direct work from both Goode and the county engineer. Equal Treatment “We all know property is being sold in this county that doesn’t meet minimum lot size,” said Luke after Compton left the supervisors’ table. He added that there no check on slope in division of land into less than five parcels. ‘‘We’re using different standards (for subdivisions of less than five lots that don’t fall under subdivision ordinance control),” the supervisor chairman continued. “If the rule applies, it should apply to all. We need some way to determine if these lots are in substantial compliance with the zoning ordinance.” (The ordinance sets minimum lot size as two acres on slopes from 0 to 7 percent, five acres on slopes 7 to 14 percent and 25 acres on slopes over 14 percent.) Wood asked how the supervisors could prevent administrative approval of land divisions into less than five lots when the lots don’t meet acreage and slope requirements. (Only subdivision of more than five lots come before the planners and supervisors for approval) “We can have the landowners bring in a certified plat showing slope tor inspection by the county engineer, Luke replied. “We have to rely on our engineer,” agreed supervisor Dick Latham. Luke stressed that this would require new administrative procedures. “We’ll have to check the slope on all these subdivisions of land...Most people selling property in this county don’t check zoning ordinance regulations on slope. I know of house sites (for homes built recently) where the land slopes well over 14 percent directly from the house (the lots) don’t have anywhere near five acres (under 14 percent),” Luke added. “If that’s one of the loopholes, it needs to be closed (during the upcoming zoning ordinance revisions),” Wood responded. Reading Consultant, 6-yr. Plan Approved (Continued from Page 1) —a high school special education teacher and general special education aide “will be employed” by 1979. —a coordinator of special services “will be employed” by 1980. —a teacher for emotionally disturbed children, along with a part-time adaptive physical education teacher “will be employed” by 1981. —an additional speech therapist "will be employed” and the psychologist position “will be expanded” to fulltime by 1982, —a learning disabilities resource teacher “will be employed” at the high school by 1983. Assistant Superintendent Rob McDaniel explained that the additional special JfSVM be< hired only if the plumber of special education students was high enough to justify a program in Rappahannock schools. If numbers weren’t as high as currently projected, he said, then the county would continue to use the facilities and programs at Piedmont Regional School. “The general public should be aware that educational funds are going to pay for physical therapy mandated by the state (for special education programs),” remarked board chairman Beverly Massie. “These aren’t educational benefits.” agreed Stokes. Not Educational Problems “Some of the problems that the educational field is having are not educational problems,” Mrs. Massie continued, adding that physical therapy and other special education services would be more suitably provided by agencies and organizations other than school systems. McDaniel noted that all of the positions included in the six-year plan had been requested by the special education committee in drawing up the' required 6year special education plan. (That plan has already been approved by the school board.) Bloomer interjected that adjustments could be made during the annual review of the six-year plan to reflect changes in enrollment or changes in services mandated by the state. He explained that “will be employed” had been used instead of “should be employed” because school districts were required to write objectives that could be assessed in terms of achievement or nonachievement. The special education positions included in the sixyear plan sparked a lenghthy discussion by the board on the needs of normal children versus the needs of children in special education. McDaniel acknowledged that the number of children in special education programs had increased substantially—from 19 last year to 87 in the current year. Despite the jump however, he reported that the physchologist was not keeping up with the demand for testing of children suspected of having special education needs. Until this year, he continued, Rappahannock schools had the services of an educationa diagnostician only two days per month. Asked wht happened to those children who formerly weren’t tested and placed in special education programs, he replied that they did “quite poorly in school.” In response to a question on the gifted and talented program in the county schools, McDaniel replied that it included computer math taught by Don Bomberger for the “gifted” and instrumental music for the “talented.” Computer math classes for students (selected on the basis of IQ) are given after school and during lunch and study hall periods. Instrumental music, ■ fcr&ia, nfter school and any student with interest in music can par ticipate. Board member Arthlinda Quaintance expressed concern over the lack of attention given to average students. “The above average can take care of themselves. They’ll do all right,” she said. Despite extra help for special education students, Mrs. Quaintance continued, ‘‘many of these kids are going to amount to nothing in many cases.” “The plain little average children need help,” she said, adding that they could produce above average with extra attention. “They’re the ones who are going to earn their own living and support these others,” Mrs. Quaintance maintained. Stating his concern with increases related to Title I programs, Masterson asked if regular classroom teachers couldn’t receive in-service training to deal with special reading problems. McDaniel answered that elementary teachers were currently taking an in-service course for three hours after school every Monday on basic learning skills. He said it was too early to tell whether the course had helped improve teaching techniques. “We keep talking about next year, next year and we’ve got problems right now that we’re going to have to deal with,” Masterson countered. “How can we improve the reading program?” Mrs. Massie asked McDaniel. “We need more coordination between Title I teachers and class room teachers to reinforce what’s being taught in the labs,” McDaniel replied. “The problem with that is finding the time (for the teachers to work together),” he added. Dr. Bloomer stated that identifying and correcting the problem in the elementary reading program would take the better part of a year. “I think we’ve made progress (since testing last year indicated over 300 students were reading below grade level),” he said. Both the summer school program and visits by a reading consultant from the text book company have helped improve reading performances, according to Bloomer. “I think a comparison of the number of Mrs. Mary Cleverley Retires (Continued from Page 1) considering for an investment purchase. When the cousins decided against the purchase, Mary and Clev decided the farm would be a good choice for them as his job as a Commissioner with the Red Cross had now brought them to the Washington, D. C. office. At the close of the deal, Mrs. Cleverley relates, they learned they had purchased not only a farm, but also a school building (the former Lottie School). She and her husband fixed up the place for a summer home, and renewing the original red paint on the exterior, they called their place, “Little Red.” They were busy fixing up “Little Red” and making plans to build a new, peri manent retirement home , when Mr. Cleverley died suddenly of a heart attack. She describes this unexpected event as the beginning of “another life” for herself. Continued Careen Within the year, Mrs. students reading below grade level at the end of this year with the number last year will be favorable,” he said. “If we can cut it by one-third, I’ll be well pleased. It’s fallacious thinking to expect to bring over 300 children reading below grade level up to grade level in one year.” Bloomer added that he didn’t think teachers were “perpetuating the problems we’re trying to correct...New techniques are paying dividends,” he maintained. High Teacher Turn-over There’s “no way” Rappahannock students are "going to make considerable progress with one-third of the staff leaving every year,” McDaniel interjected. New teachers, most of them in their first year of teaching, spend the beginning of the yea*0 learning; procedures, said McDaniel. “They spend the first month learning how to fill out forms.” He reported that the administration projected 15 teachers leaving this year—two for retirement, four to marry and nine for other unstated reasons. “As long as you have this turnover, your’re going to have this problem,” he told the board. Mrs. Massie asked if McDaniel had turn-over figures for surrounding counties. “No, but it has to be less," he replied, noting that Rappahannock teachers were on waiting lists for jobs in both Culpeper and Warren Counties. He added that it didn’t take any longer for new teachers in Rappahannock County to “learn the ropes... We’re just working with a much larger percentage,” he said. Bloomer agreed to check on turn-over percentages for surrounding school systems and report back to the board at its next regular meeting on March 13. Objection To “Will Be’s” “These ‘will be’s’ are still haunting me,” said Alan Stokes, moving back to the proposed six-year plan. This time, his concern focused on capital outlay proposals that stated “a financial plan will be determined by September 1979 for the approved projects.” Following agreement on changing “will’s” to “should’s” except as involves mandated programs, the board voted unanimously to accept the six-year plan. Before the vote on adjournment, Stokes suggested that the board go into executive session to discuss the upcoming teacher vancancies at the elementary school. Approximately an hour and a half later, the board returned to open meeting, reported no action was taken in the closed session and then adjourned at a little after midnight. ++++ Timur the lame, known in the Western world as Tamerlane, overcame his infirmity to conquer an empire that in the 14th century stretched from China to Europe, says the National Geographic Society. Cleverley was in training and earned her certificate as a licensed practical nurse. This challenge met, she took a job at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital (which was a federal institution at the time) and spent a year there in psychiatric training. She was very well established after three years and had gained promotions from GS-3 to a “big 5” when she was approached by a friend of her husband’s with Federal Housing (now HUD) who asked her to work on an innovative housing project. Having always considered herself a “free agent,” Mrs. Cleverley found her new federal duties as a “front person traveling to all 50 states and eight foreign countries an interesting challenge. She was a pioneer advocate for housing structures to accommodate the limitations of handicapped and elderly persons. She points out with pride that her own home is designed to allow freedom of movement for an elderly person and can just as easily accommodate a young family. By the time of the I960 election, Mrs. Cleverley had gained responsibilities at an Undersecretary level position. But the change in administration with President John F. Kennedy’s election brought another abrupt change in her life: with 24 hours notice, her job ended. At this point Mrs. Cleverley decided that she wished to live in town rather than continue alone on her farm. She purchased the “Carey house” on Main Street in Flint Hill and opened a crafts shop next door. Challenges were still in store—retirement was not to be. She was asked to be registrar for Wakefield District. At the time the requirement had come from the State that all names of registered voters would be maintained in a single, alphabetical list. Prior to this, each precinct maintained four segregated listings containing the names of white and non-white eligible voters for general flections, and white, and nonwhite voters eligible to vote in presidential elections only. After completing the reorganizatin of records for the Flint Hill area, she was called upon to come to Chester Gap and register people there. When Chester Gap petitioned to be a separate precinct, she again had the task of organizing voter registration records and was now responsible for two precincts in one district. Chosen County Registrar Not long after this, the law was passed that there would be one registrar for each county in Virginia to replace individual district registrars. Mrs. Cleverley says, “I was honored to be offered the job of General Registrar, being a non-native as I am. 1 have always felt that voting is a special privilege. So many people have said to me, ‘why vote? It’s only one vote’ but that’s all any of us have.” Once again, Mrs. Cleverley was faced with the challenge of organizing handwritten voter registration records into a comprehensive up-to-date record; there were more than 2,000 names for the entire county. Virginia was one of three states chosen to operate a pilot project for central registry of eligible voters, with records being stored in a computer for ease of record transfer when a voter moves from one county to another. The computer is also a guard against people registering in more than one county. Mrs. Cleverley points out, “In maintaining records for a computer, Rappahannock is faced with the same task as a larger place, such as the cities of Richmond or Alexandria." She gives much credit for the successful completion of the reorganization to her assistant, Ruth Kilby, who became county registrar at Mrs. Cleverley’s retirement. In relating her reasons for opting again for retirement, Mrs. Cleverley says, “I want to travel some; I would like to visit Italy again. I enjoy weaving, knitting and teaching crafts. I have more time now to make cat mats for Sam (her very special pet). Needlework, you might say, is a gift I have. I would like to share this. I enjoy helping people” Mrs. Cleverley learned knitting even before she started school. She remembers, “As I sat on a stool at my aunt’s feet she taught me to knit using sticks and string; when I would make a mistake, she would thump me on the head with her thimble. I had a sore head most of that summer, but I learned to knit.” Mrs. Cleverley plans to continue her volunteer work. She serves on the Council for the Area Agency on Aging and is the only woman member of the local chapter of SCORE (Service Core of Retired Executives). Although she is retiring from salaried employment, Mrs. Cleverley plans to continue her service to her fellowman. She will be 76 years old this July and still looks forward to new challenges. Rappahannock should appreciate this “damn Yankee” who chose this county for her "retirement.” y/ome Decor EARLY'S CARPET SALES & SERVICE ROUTE 211 — AMISSVILLE 937-5111 Groups of objects as decorations art* most effect ive when 4hey are related to one another in one or more wavs. If the relationship is obscure, the eye is apt to rove rest le>sl\ over the grouping in order to* discover why they re placed together.

Kenneth Robinson and several other colleagues have urged that energy conservation tax credits be allowed for taxpayers who invest in wood-burning stoves and related home reinsulation. Pointing out that the Secretary has authority to extend such a credit through 1985, Robinson said “We feel it would be a mistake not to include wood-burning stoves and related housing reinsulation costs for such a credit, since wood stoves have a fuel efficiency rating on a par with either gas or oilburning furnaces. They’re much more efficient than electric heat-generating facilities.” “For lower income families, especially, they’re more practical, over the short-term, than solar heating or other more experimental or costly forms of energy-saving equipment,” Robinson noted. He said final regulations on the subject may be issued by the Treasury Department within the next month. ++++ Peace is our final good.—St. Augustine Reach nearly everyone in Rappahannock County with your Classified Ad.
