It is my intention to seek the Republican nomination for re-election.” Prior to his term as State Senator, Miller was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1972, serving two terms from the 16th Legislative District.

Farmers ’ Market Plans Opening The opening day of the Farmers’ Market, a cooperative effort for the sale of local produce, is scheduled for 8 a.m. Saturday, May 5, at a location at the new building of the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative just west of Washington. Pearl Clarke of Amissville was named as chairman of the committee to plan Opening Day when the Executive Committee of the Market met last week. At this meeting, officers for the Market were elected as follows: president and manager, Truman Keesey, Washington; vice president and head vendor, Silas Martin, Jr., Amissville; recording secretary, Pearl Clarke, Amissville; corresponding secretary, Deborah Kenney, Boston; and treasurers, Frank and Mary Neal, Castleton. Sidney Mank, Washington, was named to the Board of Directors and four others were nominated but have not been contacted.

Some thoughts for discussion will be a ribbon cutting for the opening and prizes to be given away. cent; over per ceni Slope and one five acre lot with .55 acres (11 per cent) over 14 per cent slope. The adjustment leaves: —one 7-acre lot with 5.78 acres under 14 per cent slope, —one 10-acre lot with 7.7 acres under 14 per cent slope, —eleven 5-acre lots with traces ranging from .75 to .05 acres over 14 per cent slope. Rappahannock’s zoning and subdivision ordinances require lots without public water and sewer to be a minimum of five acres in size on land over 14 per cent slope. The supervisors will consider Goode’s amended subdivision proposal at their April 5 meeting. Council Meetings The Title I Advisory Council for Rappahannock public schools will meet at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, April 11, in the elementary school library. The following Wednesday, April 18, the Special Education Advisory Council' will meet at 2 p.m. in the elementary library.

Continuation of two former cases involving student placement and the suspension of a high school student from riding the school bus was discussed. “My Fair Lady” Opens At RCHS Rappahannock High School students with parts in the musical-comedy “My Fair Lady” are in a tizzy trying to find a cure for butterflies of the stomach before performances scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, April 6 and 7. It’s quite a challenge for a high school drama group to undertake. The production has over 40 cast members, elaborate sets and costumes, dance and vocal numbers. Under the direction of Don Bomberger, youngsters have been practicing every week night for the past two months. Walk-ons, singers, dancers and stars—all have rehearsed, rehearsed and rehearsed for countless hours under Bomberger’s eye. And even before the onset of regular rehearsals, Mrs. Judy Bomberger worked with actors and chorus members on musical numbers. As opening night draws closer, her efforts have begun to pay off as the high school singers start to sound more and more like broadway professionals from Lerner and Loewe’s hit soundtrack. Along with the Bombergers, other teachers have given instintingly of their time. Lilo Foster has spent evenings teaching the kids their dance routines. Peggy Pate and Carol Goff have scoured trunks in attics and boxes in basements, digging out costumes for the extravagent produciton. “Skip” Ford and his building trades class have worked many mornings in class, Finishing props and backgrounds for a dozen set changes. Other volunteers have given Saturday mornings to put the final coats of paint on the scenery. The faculty and students at RCHS have devoted hours to the production of “My Fair Lady." They have earned a standing-room-only, sell-out crowd at both Friday and Saturday’s performances. The curtain goes up at 8 p.m. Tickets at $2.50 apiece will be available at the door only. Per Pupil ‘Worth’ High, Spending Low Rappahannock is ranked seventh in ability to pay for education out of 95 Virginia counties and 92nd in performance, according to "Facing Up 13,” a summary of statist|cal data on Virginia’s 'public schools released by the State Department of Education. Rappahannock’s composite index figure for 197678 of local capacity to pay for education is 1.3. This means that the county has to contribute half—or 66 cents—out of every dollar spent for education. (The local composite index is computed through a complex formula which includes local sales tax revenues, average daily school attendance, “true value” of real estate, personal income and population figures versus state figures for all of the same items. Primary weight in the formula is attached to “true value” of real estate.) Counties which must pay a higher share of every educational dollar include Arlington and Surry with composite indexes of 2.0, Fauquier and Highland with indexes of 1.5 and New Kent and Lancaster with indexes of 1.4. By comparison, Culpeper’s index is 1.0, Greene’s .53, Madison’s .86, Orange’s 1.0, and Warren’s 1.1. “Wealth per child” in Rappahannock is figured at $138,523—fifth highest in the state. (“Wealth per child” is computed by dividing the average daily school membership into true value of locally taxed property.) The only counties with higher "wealth per child” rankings than Rappahannock are Arlington, Louisa, Highland and Surry. “Wealth per child” ratings of neighboring jurisdictions range from 11th in Fauquier to 56th in Prince William with Culpeper 30th, Orange 29th, Madison 34th and Warren 32nd. Rappahannock’s low ranking of 92nd in local effort to pay for education is determined by deviding the County’s “wealth per child" into the amount of local money spent for school operations. This gives Rappahannock an “equivalent true tax rate” of .44, the third lowest in the state. Only Louisa with .33 and Surry with .37 fall under Rappahannock’s “equivalent true tax rate.” Rappahannock ranks 84th out of 95 counties on total cost per pupil for regular day school with $1,045 spent per child. In local expenditures per pupil, Rappahannock is 31 st with $615. Percentage Of Local Funds Rappahannock climbed close to the top in percentage of total school costs funded with local tax dollars. The county’s total school budget was $1,282,646 in 1977-78. Of this amount, 58 per cent was local money—the tenth highest percentage in the state. Only nine other counties paid for as large a proportion of total school costs with local money. By comparison, Warren’s budget was 55 per cent local, Orange's 53 per cent, Madison's 51 per cent, Fauquier's 67 per cent and Culpeper’s 53 per cent. Out of 95 Virginia counties, 16 had a lower percentage than Rappahannock in instructional personnel holding advanced degrees during 1977-78. Twelve out of 62 teachers in Rappahannock—19.4 per cent—had master's degrees or better. Surrounding counties had higher percentages of teachers with advanced degrees: 27.9 per cent in Culpeper, 24.9 per cent in Fauquier, 30 per cent in Madison, 34 per cent in Orange and 25.3 per cent in Warren. In 1977-78, the average teacher’s salary in Rappahannock was $10,427 while the state average was $12,651. Of the 95 counties in Virginia, 25 paid a lower average salary that year. Among surrounding counties, Fauquier paid an average of (Continued on Page 4) Fodderstack Classic Plans Unfold The first Fodderstack Classic, a six-mile foot race open to anyone interested in running, is scheduled for Saturday, April 21 from Flint Hill to Washington, Va. by way of Fodderstack Road.

Besides the usual crowds from the Washington metropolitan area, the hills should be dotted with New Yorkers. The Sunday, March 5, edition of The New York Times carries a hymn of praise to the “ladies and gentlemen who spend half the year chasing foxes on horseback” and then “chase each other on horseback over the neatly pastured and fenced hillsides of this historic area,” in a sure sign of spring. The reporter was kind enough to include the 1979 schedule of Virginia’s pointto-points along with a detailed map and printed directions on how to reach the hinterlands from the big city. Folks who rely on the map alone, however, are in for a shock if they expect to find Sperryville between Warrenton and Amissville. Maybe the travellers from The Big Apple will miss us after all. Birthday Celebrated Mrs. Ollie M. Jackson of Woodville was honored with a surprise birthday dinner at her home on Sunday, March 25. The party was given by her three daughters. Those attending were Thomas Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Jackson, Mrs. Peggy Clarke and children, Mrs. Violet Gibson, Mrs. Hattie Toliver, Richard Slaughter and family, Mrs. Nannie Slaughter, Charles Ruffner, Mrs. Martha Slaughter and son George Jr., Llaryd Whitney and mother of Falls Church, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Slaughter, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Glasker of Arlington, Va., and eleven grandchildren. Culpeper Farmer To Sod Mall A local fanner has become involved with agricultural protests held in the nation's capital but only after the fact. J. L. Kidwell, a turf farmer from Culpeper, is the successful low bidder on providing the sod necessary to restore the mall area in Washington, D. C. The mall was extensively damaged during the farmers’ protest held earlier this year. Kidwell Turf Farms is already fulfilling a contract with the Department of the Interior to supply and install turf on areas that have been worn out by tourist traffic in the Washington area each year. The contract is awarded annually on a low bid basis. The contract for restoration of the mall area will be issued as soon as officials from the Department of Interior inspect the turf to be supplied, according to J. L. Kidwell. Fire- Rescue Calls The Sperryville Rescue Unit transported Larry Shifflett of New Market from an auto accident March 29 west of Sperryville to the Culpeper Memorial Hospital. April 3 the same unit took Carroll Quaintance from his home in Sperryville to Dr. Quaintance’s office in Culpeper then back home. Washington Fire Company on March 20 responded to a mountain brush fire on Route 231 at the Metzinger property and on the 23rd they answered a call to a woods fire at the property of Annie Starks. A fire in the kitchen at William Estes’ house on Rt. 628 required their attention on March 29. On March 30 the Washington Company was called to a woods fire on Rt. 627 in the Battle Run area and April 3 this unit responded to a house fire on Rt. 211 at Washington. Washington Rescue Squad reported to the D.W. Hitt residence at Castleton and took Mary Craft to Culpeper Memorial Hospital on March 23. Mrs. W. B. Jenkins, who fell at her home in Washington, was taken by Washington March 25 to Culpeper Memorial. Margaret Freeman was taken to Warren Memorial March 31 by this squad.

Dalton signed the bill which designates 14 miles of the Shenandoah River’s main stem as a Virginia Scenic River. This brings to a total of eight the rivers in the Commonwealth which are part of the Virginia Scenic River System. The 14-mile stretch of the Shenandoah is situated between the Warren-Clarke County line and Lockes Designated As Scenic River Landing (roughly from just south of where U.S. Route No. 50 N.E. crosses the river to a short distance south of where Virginia Route No. 7 crosses the river in Garke County). With the signing of the Bill establishing the Scenic River status for that portion of the Shenandoah River, the Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries becomes responsible for the administrative aspects of the waters. This will involve working with an advisory committee of citizens to be appointed by the Governor and with the Commission of Outdoor Recreation. This tri-. party group will work together to preserve the natural qualities of the river which qualified the Shenandoah for consideration as a Scenic River in the first place. The Virginia Game Commission is already involved in a similar administrative capacity with those stretches of the Appomattox and Staunton rivers which are part of the Virginia Scenic River System.

Basic Skills Emphasized To Students And Teachers Recently students in grades one through three across the Commonwealth took special tests in reading and math developed by the Department of Education. These tests resulted from a mandate in the Standards of Quality which states: “Each school division shall administer tests primarily to provide the classroom teacher with information to help in assessing the educational needs of individual students. For primary and intermediate grades such testing shall include, at least annually, the administration of criterion-referenced tests developed or approved by the Department of Education to measure the progress of each student toward achieving educational objectives established under Standard IB..." Criterion-Referenced Tests (CRT) are designed to test for mastery ot specific skills. CRT’s are not designed to be used to make comparisons of relative standings between groups of students. As such, CRT’s differ from norm referenced tests, such as SRA, which are given annually in Virginia. The Basic Learning Skills Test is not designed to be used for comparing students or school divisions. The major purpose of the Basic Learning Skills Testing Program is to assure that each student has mastered certain specific minimum BLS objective adopted by the state.

These plans will help to visualize what the finished floor and room will look like and thus reduce errors of choice. It is best to use a colored plan, that is, one filled in with crayons approximating the color of the furniture, upholstery, and other fabric and floor covering, tentatively being planned for use. A well colored floor plan, drawn to scale, can also help to determine exactly the amounts needed of various items such as fabrics, and floor coverings, thus eliminating unnecessary purchases.

Learning Skills Objectives may be examined at the elementary school). As soon as test results are received from a Roanoke scoring service parents will be notified. It is anticipated that notification will include which skills have been mastered and which require additional work. Parents will be encouraged to ask teachers how they can help their children master specific skills. It should be emphasized that some of the items of the test measure minimum skills which should be acquired at home. A course concerning the Basic Learning Skills, taught by Dr. Barbara Perry of James Madison University, is underway at the elementary school with both administrators and 27 of 36 teachers in attendance. The major thrust of the course is to enable the staff to better meet the instructional needs of the children. Numerous learning activity packages have been developed, an English series has been selected with the BLS in mind, and a greater awareness for student needs has been achieved. It has been emphasized that the BLS represents the minimum requirements for each grade level. Although, the program this year is limited to grades one through three, the state plan is to expand it next year to the fourth grade and the following year to the fifth and sixth grades. Any parent interested in securing additional information on the Basic Learning Skills or interested how he or she can assist the child in mastering these skills should contact the classroom teacher.

REALTOR mt THE PRE-OWNED HOME “Pre-owned” is a euphemism for a home you acquire second-hand or fifth (or even tenth - in the case of a heritage house). According to the National Association of Realtors, Americans purchase approximately 3 million homes annually. Of these, some 2Vi million are pre-owned homes. What accounts for their popularity? Beyond the very practical advantages offered by older homes, they exert an emotional appeal as well. Charm is a major factor; so too are individuality, and privacy resulting from hedges and full grown trees. In addition to these intangibles, the older home offers a wider choice of selection - there are approximately two to three times as many existing dwellings as new homes on the market today. However, you should take a careful look at basic systems, such as plumbing, heating and electricity to be sure they are up to current standards. it tnere is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

THURSDAY, APRIL 5,1979 Pandora’s Box— We Asked For It We are fast losing touch with the natural world, and an ability to survive in a state of nature. The noise of our conveniences has perhaps made all of us confused, naive, or dull in hearing the fine voices that can lead to our survival. Our voracious appetites for things electrical has brought us mute acceptance of the likely perils lying in the exotic chemistry of nuclear power. Simmering away below Fredericksburg lies our own local nuclear power plant, built, like the others, close at hand, to supply this appetite for today’s “needs”. Pressed by our demands, our power companies build costly nuclear plants in this pragmatic sense: “You asked for it.” Some communities rise and do battle against this source of power. They usually lose as their “need” is so great. We ourselves are to blame. The power companies only try to produce. On a map, you can draw circles with a compass or string and pen and see just what a large blast in Harrisburg could do to us only 90 miles away, to say nothing of Washington or Baltimore, or what a little leakage would do to a large source of our milk and dairy products from that good “Pennsylvania Dutch” farm country, one of the best in the East. It is not that we lack alternative directions for power, given a little patience and a remnant of American determination. The stepchildren of this power-driven age are the sources closer to things we know well, water, wind, tidal forces and the sun. These have been ignored and deliberately shunted aside for what is truly the exotic, the immature technology of nuclear fission. Billions of public funds have been applied in capital to private enterprise to build these potentially dangerous plants. Many solar scientists were dismissed a few years ago who, in this space of time, and with solid funding, could have put pollution-free and clean alternative sources of power well on their way. The sun, without which we would not be here at all, sheds enough energy on this planet each hour to supply all of our needs for one year! Direct combustion as in coal-fired power plants (and we are rich in coal) is a mature technology which can, with established pollution safeguards, help us through. As we grope, from now on, for every British Thermal Unit (BTU) of energy we will find that each alternate source as water power, tidal, coal-oil mix, bio-mass, wood waste, solar power and wind will make up many percentage points toward our needs, as well as being far more interesting and clean and satisfying to human beings to produce. The safer exotic, fusion, is in the offing also, after a long wait. With a little old-fashioned conservation on our side, we should look to a clean and healthful future. One of the worst aspects of our energy situation is the view of doom ahead deeply felt by the younger generation. Combined with an almost sickening glut of convenience, much damage has been done to them here, as in the “drug culture.” Usually better informed environmentally than their elders, what have they to look forward to? For one, the greenhouse effect on our atmosphere brought by pollution. The threat of nuclear disaster, which would pale science fiction, air damage and health damages are hardly stuff that onward-looking youth can romance about. It is our view that we must be looking down the wrong street with nuclear fission, by concentrating on fission in our technology as opposed to making a strong move toward the development of fusion power which appears to be a far safer avenue in the future of the exotics. Let our young combine vigorously with us for their clean future in this that has been, and can still be, a most beautiful world.

School Funding Here Ranks 92nd (Continued from Page 1) $11,355; Culpeper paid $10,889; Madison paid $10,893; Orange paid $10,790 and Warren paid $11,186. (Figures do not include value of fringe benefits.) The average salary in Rappahannock for 1977-78 compared with a county teachers average salary in 1968-69 ($6,330) shows a 65 per cent increase. Fifty-two counties show a higher percentage increase for the same period while the average statewide increase was 76 per cent. High Pupil Teacher Ratios During 1977-78, the pupilteacher ratio at Rappahannock elementary school was 22.42—12th highest in the state. At Rappahannock County High School, the pupil teacher ratio, at 18.32, was 17th highest among Virginia’s county high schools. Only 13 county school Week Of The Child April 2-8 has been set aside as the national Week of the Young Child during the International Year of the Young Child (1979). In commemoration of this week, the staff of Sursum Corda School and Day Care Center of Washington invites the public to come by and observe their program of day care and instruction for preschoolers (ages 2-5) and their after-school program and enrichment classes for school-age children (6-12 years). The school is open from 7:00 to 5:30 Monday through Friday. Examples of the children’s art work will be on display at the school. In addition, Sursum Corda will have a photographic collection depicting the school's work with young children on display at the Rappahannock County Library. The public is encouraged to view this attractive display, which will be at the library through April 13. Watch That Speed Colonel D. M. Slane, Superintendent of the Virginia State Police, revealed today that all troopers were being notified to be exceptionally alert to violations of the state’s 55 miles per hour speed limit. “We have always used our best efforts to effectively enforce the speed limit over the years,” said Colonel Slane. “However, in view of Governor Dalton’s recent call for stricter enforcement as a fuel conservation measure, as well as in the best interests of highway safety, we plan to maximize our efforts in every possible way.” The Department noted that the release of a number of troopers from strikerelated duty at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company would effectively help in this effort by making more troopers available for patrol duty. The State Police emphasize that Governor Dalton’s call for stricter enforcement of the speed limit, coupled with voluntary compliance, has a “built-in” bonus—fewer traffic fatalities. Statistics show that in 1974 when 55 miles per hour became the national standard, the total number of. highway deaths was 9,000 less than in 1973. This figure dropped by almost another 1,000 in 1975, but then as emphasis on fuel conservation lessened and drivers began to increase their speeds, the death rate once again began to climb. systems in Virginia had a lower percentage of drop-outs than Rappahannock during 1977-78 for grades 8-12. Only 4.2 per cent of the total high school enrollment quit due to achievement, behavior, health or financial problems. This figure compares favorably to dropout percentages in other counties—6.0 for Culpeper, 5.7 for Fauquier, 8.0 for Madison, 7.2 for Orange and 6.4 for Warren. In a comparison of 1977-78 high school graduates with 1974 fall membership in the ninth grade, Rappahannock doesn’t come off well. Only 59.6 per cent of the county’s 1974 ninth graders graduated in 1978—the 11th lowest percentage in the state. By comparison, 81.6 per cent of the 1974 ninth graders in Culpeper graduated, 79.3 per cent in Fauquier, 68.3 in Madison, 61.4 in Orange and 79.8 in Warren. According to Dr. William Bloomer, superintendent of schools for Rappahannock, the highest number of dropouts occurs in ninth and tenth grade as youngsters pass the mandatory school attendance age of 17. In an area like Rappahannock where the average population has a relatively low level of educational attainment, said Bloomer, community and family expectations are lower. He added that limited opportunities in alternative education also influenced dropout rates. Of Rappahannock’s 197778 graduates, 25.8 per cent continued on to a four-year or two-year college. Surrounding counties had a higher percentage of collegebound seniors with 32.3 per cent in Culpeper going on to higher education, 43.1 per cent in Fauquier, 31.2 in Madison, 29.7 per cent in Orange and 41 per cent in Warren. Earnings Report Due People who received at least one social security check iif 1978 and who earned more than the annual exempt amount last year have until April 16 to file an annual report of their 1978 earnings, Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently. The 1978 annual exempt amount was $4,000 for people 65 or over and $3,240 for people who were under 65 all of last year. A person who was 72 or older all of 1978 does not have to make a report, Hundley said. Neither do people who receive benefits because of disability, because different rules apply. Most people who have to make a report of their 1978 earnings have already received a form for this purpose in the mail. Those who did not receive an annual report form or those who misplaced the one they did get can get a copy at the Culpeper social security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 825-3500. The people there will be glad to answer any questions about the annual report of earnings.

RAPPAHANNOCK 4-H*fecs —Rappahannock News Staff Photo/John Toler AMISSVILLE FIRE CAPTAIN Everett Smith operated the pumps on Amissville s truck. Water for the flammable liquid fire exercise was pumped from a nearby pond up to the Amissville truck, which supplied the firefighters during the exercise. Firemen Learn To Protect Themselves From Hazards By JOHN TOLER Rappahannock News Staff Writer More than 170 firemen including volunteers from Rappahannock County attended the first annual fire school, sponsored by the Fauquier County Fire and Rescue Association, March 24-25 and March 31-April 1 at the Warrenton firehouse and the new field training area on Rt. 674 near Hurleytown. Taking advantage of the training, which is coordinated with the Rappahannock County Fire School held annually in late September, were firemen from Prince William, Warren, Frederick, Culpeper, Orange as well as Rappahannock and Fauquier counties. Working in four groups, the firemen received 30 hours of intensive training over the two weekend sessions. Six classes were given: Organization and Operations of Fire Companies; Chemistry of Fire; Protective Clothing and Breathing Apparatus; Small Tools and Forceable Entry; Flammable Liquids; and Fire Ground Safety and Tpctics. Classroom instruction was conducted at the Warrenton firehouse before the practical exercises, most of which were conducted at the new countyowned training site on Rt. 674. The class on Forceable Entry was conducted at the site of the old Sycamore Hill Motel near Warrenton, with firemen practicing axe and saw work on the old buildings there, which are owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia. A roadway will soon cross the site. The most dramatic exercise was the class on Flammable Liquids which is designed to educate and build confidence in the firemen whose most dangerous experience might be fighting a fire of flammable liquid. The exercise, conducted after four hours of classroom instruction, was held at the “fire pit” at the training area. A small manmade pool of water was covered with about 300 gallons of used motor oil and ignited by a torch. Thick black smoke rose skyward, and intense heat spread out from the base in all directions. Into this inferno groups of firemen moved slowly, protecting themselves and pushing the fire in front of them with a high-pressure 2Vi-inch hose and nozzle. While spectators watched from a safe distance, the fire teams closed in on the fire, finally cooling the flammable vapors and extinguishing the flames. Water pressure for the exercise was supplied by the Amissville pumper, which was operated by Fire Captain Everett Smith. The exercise gave our firefighters great experience - and confidence - in dealing with this hazardous situation. In addition to the 17th Annual Fire School at Amissville this fall, a one-day class dealing with liquified petroleum (LP) gas will be held at the Warrenton facilities in June.
