Merrill, owner and operator of Merrill Motor Company, can qualify as an historic monument in the town of Washington. With his trade mark of a stubby unlit cigar protruding from the corner of his mouth, Mr. Merrill is a permanent fixture sitting behind the plate glass windows of his motor company. His business at the corner in the center of town has been around for as long as most of the under-50 generation can remember. And along with his cars, Merrill deals in “helping hands." For every person who’s bought an automobile from the motor company, there are probably two more who've received assistance of some kind from this good Samaritan. Back when a family was lucky to have a car, Merrill lent brand new automobiles to folks to use if tragedy struck. “Whenever there’s sickness or death, especially a death in the family, Mr. Merrill just can’t do enough. He'd bend over a mile backwards for vou,’’ volunteered one long-time acquaintance. (Continued on Page 6) —Rappahannock News Photo/S. Latham L. V.

Reading Scores Improve Percentage At Grade Level Almost Doubles By DAPHNE HITCHINSON Rappahannock Vw« Staff \* rilcr It was all good news at Tuesday's meeting of the Rappahannock School Board. Dramatic improvement in reading test scores gave elementary teachers and administrators something to cheer about while the performance of fourth, eighth and eleventh graders in the statewide Supervisors Non-Committal On Most Of School Budget By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Superintendent of schools Dr. William Bloomer presented the proposed 197980 school budget and plans for school expansion to a Goode Threatens Suit Over Subdivision Delays By DAPHNE HITCHI\SON Rappahannock Vh> Staff Writer ‘‘You’d better plan on naming an attorney because we’re going to be in court on May 2.” warned attorney Claude Compton after the Rappahannock supervisors again delayed action on C. L. Goode’s Flint Hill subdivision at last Thursday’s board meeting. The development proposal has been under consideration What ( Delinqi By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newt* Staff Writer “Not knowing how to raise kids” is the number one cause of juvenile delinquency in Rappahannock, according to a list compiled by adults and teenagers who attended the March 26 meeting of the County Task Force on Vouth. After coming up with 25 contributing factors, the group, as individuals, ranked the causes and then took a consensus to come up with the top Five. In order, the list included: —failure of the schools to meet the needs of youth, —unstable home environment, County Tags Due April 30th County Treasurer Frances Foster reminds Rappahannock vehicle owners that the deadline for purchase of county tags is April 30. Auto, truck and trailer tags are S15 each and motorcycle tags are $8. Personal property takes for 1978 must be paid and those for 1979 declared before tags may be purchased. Tag sales have been slow and the treasurer asks the public to speed up their purchases to avoid the last minute rush and inconvenience. According to Sheriff W. A. Buntin, anyone with a vehicle registered in Rappahannock County who drives on the roads without a county sticker will be in violation as of Tuesday, May 1. for two and a half years. Goode first applied for approval for a 15 lot, fiveacre subdivision in September 1976. Following public hearings, the supervisors denied the rezoning from agricultureconservation to residential subdivision at the recommendation of the planning commission. Goode subsequently filed two suits, challenging the denial under Causes iency ? —no one for young people with problems to talk to, —lack of strong community values. The Task Force also considered boredom, limited job opportunities and the influence of drugs and alcohol as major contributing factors in delinquency. “One young person, one family in trouble can’t change any of these things by themselves but a community group can perhaps have an effect,” said Katie Morgan, Youth Services Director for the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. She explained that Task Force members would next conduct a survey of service professionals to get their opinions on where problems lie. "We’ll take that information and compare it with the list you’ve compiled today,” she announced. Jim McGarvey, director of the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic, cautioned against assuming that the county has a “big juvenile delinquency problem.” He suggested that the Task Force "emphasize the positive, assess the needs of youth in the community and in so doing, possibly find some answers to juvenile delinquency.” County extension agent Rap Owings added that the Task Force needed to involve more kids and get youngsters to actively participate by voicing their opinions on the needs of youth. “It’s the kids who actually see and know,” agreed Fran (Continued on Page 2) both the zoning and subdivision ordinances. The cases have been repeatedly continued with the next court date set for May 2. In the interim, the developer also applied to the supervisors in December 1978, for approval of the proposed development under the subdivision ordinance. The subdivision plans were referred to the planning commission for comment in January 1979. The planners recommended that Goode’s proposals be denied on the grounds that the development did not “substantially comply” with ordinance regulations in that several lots contained less than five acres under 14 per cent slope. Following the suggestion of the supervisors last month, Goode redesigned part of the subdivision, combining two five-acre lots into a ten-acre lot that contains over seven acres under 14 per cent slope. The remainder of the subdivision consists of one sevenacre lot with over five acres under 14 per cent slope and 11 five-acre lots with traces ranging from .75 to .05 acres over 14 per cent slope. Lots Decreased Noting that Goode had decreased the number of lots in the developinentJfom the original 15 to 13^ with the amended proposal, supervisor chairman E. P. Luke maintained that Goode’s subdivision was in “substantial compliance” with ordinance requirements. (Continued on Page 3) “In Lieu” Payments To Jump Rappahanock can expect approximately $17,000 in federal payments in lieu of taxes on natinal park land, according to a release from Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson. The amount is almost three times as much as the $6,803 the county received under the “in lieu” program last year. Robinson was a sponsor of legislation which cleared Congress in 1978 to correct a legal technicality that affected “in lieu” payments. Last year, localities were denied payment for acreage acquired by the State of Virginia for transfer to the federal government in the creation of Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Only land that went directly from private to federal ownership was eligible for “in lieu” payments, accordingly. Rappahannock received credit for only some 9,000 acres. This year, the county will receive increased annual payments, under a formula with a maximum of 75 cents per acre, on 22,691 acres. Robinson reported that it is not yet known when Rappahannock might expect to receive payment. He noted that the Department of Interior had indicated earlier it hoped to have certification completed by late summer. Benefit Bike-A-Thon Bill Lynn and Mrs. Janice Moffett, both of Washington, will be county chairmen for the St. Jude’s Bike-A-Thon planned for early May. They will head a local volunteer committee to organize and conduct the event.

Budget questions focused on services to the handicapped, underground gasoline storage tanks and fuel costs for the coming year. At Bloomer’s request, the board unanimously approved the teacher salary scale with a seven per cent group increase over last year’s schedule and addition of a 15th step at the top of .the scale. The supervisors, however, gave no indication that they would approve the balance of the budget without cuts. Review of capital outlay proposals was postponed until May. "There must be some lower limit we can just stay above in order to stay accredited," said supervisor chairman E. P Luke in regard to expansion proposals that call for 10 new classrooms and a green house at the high school. “If you could just give us that plus relative costs and alternatives (to the plans submitted by architects Davis and McClintock), we can work Litter Costs Over $1 Million The litter bugs were at it again last year along Virginia’s roads and it cost the state more than SI,093,000 to clean up after them, according to the Department of Highways and Transportation. In Rappahannock County, clean up costs for primary roads amounted to $5,342. The total in Culpeper District for interstate, primary and secondary road clean up was $213,849. C. O. Leigh, director of road maintenance operations for the department, estimated that more than $10 million has been spent on collecting litter over the past decade. “If the litter problems did not exist, that money could have been spent for much more lasting benefits on safety and other improvements in the highway system,” he said. Leigh said that litter not only is costly and unsightly but also can be a safety hazard. Wind-blown trash can distract drivers and obstruct their visibility, and on occasion has struck windshields of moving vehicles. Cans and bottles can also be picked up by the blades of large mowers used in the spring and summer and be thrown toward traffic on the highways. Roadside clean-up operations will receive special emphasis bv the highway department preceding the April 21-29 observance of Historic Garden Week. Travelers can help with the problem by: —Keeping litter containers in their vehicles and using them for trash until it can be disposed of properly. — Using litter barrels placed at intervals along Virginia's highways. About (Continued on Page 2) out some way to finance this," he told Bloomer. The proposed budget totals 51,553,848, an increase of 14.6 per cent over the current year. Local funds required to support the proposed budget amount to $875,034 for an increase of 17.98 per cent. Later in the meeting, Luke asked accountant Walter Cox if the county could expect additional revenue from sources other than local property taxes. The news wasn’t good. Except for a one-time windfall in ABC profits as the state changes payment schedule, Cox reported that the supervisors could anticipate only the state surplus funds payment at the end of the year with the money earmarked specifically for law enforcement, Commonwealth Attorney's office, judges' salaries and welfare payments for indigent hospitalization. "The 15 per cent additional local money you're talking about (in the proposed school budget) means a 15 per cent increase in property taxes." Cox said. 1979-80 Capital Outlay In presenting the budget. Bloomer explained that the three trailers and furniture included under capital outlay were for: 1. special education class of children aged 12 -17 who currently are housed in the elementary school and must be moved to the high school to meet state mandates for mainstreaming, 2. an English class for students in the Title I high school reading lab who must also take standard English in (Continued on Page 4) testing program prompted assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel to remark “Obviously, we're doing something right or we wouldn't be show ing scores of this level." In addition, the county's educational program received compliments from an unexpected source. Dr Rodney Tilman, the S100 a day consultant considered for employment by the school board to evaluate elementary instruction, wrote the board that he felt his services weren't required. Assistant superintendent McDaniel reported that Tilman had looked at the school, talked with teachers, visited classrooms, reviewed test scores and met with the administration at the elementary school. “After looking at the situation and seeing the progress that was being made, he didn’t see that he could offer anything to us," McDaniel reported. He added that Tilman had recommended the continued use of text book consultants as a resource for improving the reading program. In regard to the elementaryreading program, assistant principal Cheryl Ritchie announced that the number of children performing at or (Continued on Page 2) Announces Candidacy Cecil Baldwin of Sperryville has announced her candidacy for the seat of Supervisor from Piedmont District subject to the election in November.

DeeDee Grant, a student at Rappahannock County High School, interjected that she wouldn’t have listed “failure of the schools to meet the needs of youth” as one of the major causes of juvenile delinquency. “There are things at shcool but the kids won’t do them,” she said. Gale Titchenell, pastor of the Woodville Baptist Church and former RCHS history teacher, agreed that “opportunities are there that are not taken advantage of.” DeeDee continued that she would have rated drugs and alcohol, unstable home environment and peer Litter Cost $1 Million (Continued from Page 1) 1,400 such receptacles are provided by the department for that purpose with signs on the roadways pointing out their locations. —Encouraging establishment and use of adequate local refuse disposal facilities to help eliminate household garbage being thrown in and around state roadside receptacles. pressures as the major causes of juvenile delinquency in Rappahannock. Too many kids, she said, are busy trying to be “cool” and belittle their contemporaries who take part in 4-H, scouting and other activities they think are "sissy.” She emphasized that a list of delinquency causes drawn up by youngsters would include few of the tactors listed by adults. (Only one of the 25 causes originally considered was suggested by the teenagers present at the Task Force meeting. That cause, “no one to talk to,” was listed as number four in the final tally.) Katie Morgan agreed to contact school personnel to investigate the possibility of doing a student survey during study hall periods. Further work on the opinion poll of service professionals as to the causes of juvenile delinquency and on the survey of area agencies, civic groups and churches that provide projects, programs and services for youth will continue at the next Task Force meeting, scheduled for Monday, April 10, at d p.m. in the Washington Baptist Church.

Pictured are Kim Stringfellow, John Leggett, Joshua Murray. Reading Scores Improve (Continued from Page 1) above grade level in reading had jumped from 38 per cent last year to 66 per cent this year. Efforts towards improving last year’s scores began last summer, Mrs. Ritchie said, with workshops for teachers conducted by a consultant from the reading text book company. In addition, children attended special summer school reading programs that gave “major emphasis on skill development,” she said. The text book consultant also guided teachers and administrators on securing supplemental materials and on scheduling. Reading was given prime time in the morning hours as part of a language arts block that integrated English, spelling and reading. Activities that interrupted classwork were set for afternoons, according to Mrs. Ritchie. She said that students in grades three through seven were put into special reading groupings on the basis of standardized test scores. Teachers were given the option of making the groups larger or breaking them into smaller units. Mrs. Ritchie noted that the administration will work with teachers in late spring to set up reading groupings for next year “as they know the students best.” According to the assistant principal, the elementary school teachers refined reading instructional materials to suit the needs of individual students. “They developed a great deal of the materials themselves,” she added. “Dedicated Faculty” Using charts, Mrs. Ritchie illustrated the progress that students had made over the last year in reading: —Last year's first grade class had 87 per cent reading at grade level. As second graders, 100 per cent are at grade level. —Last year’s second grade class had 70 per cent reading at grade level. As third graders, including two Title I classrooms, 61 per cent are at grade level. —Last year’s third grade class had zero per cent reading at grade level. As fourth graders, 54 per cent are at grade level. —Last year’s fourth grade class had 28 per cent reading at grade level. As fifth graders, 48 per cent are at grade level. —Last year’s fifth grade class had 27 per cent reading at grade level. As sixth graders, 69 per cent are at grade level. —Last year’s sixth grade class had 26 per cent reading at grade level. As seventh graders, 38 per cent are at grade level. This year’s classes compared to last year's classes show an improvement from 87 to 100 per cent reading at grade level in first grade, 70 to 100 per cent in second grade, zero to 61 per cent in third grade, 28 to 54 per cent in fourth grade, 27 to 48 per cent in fifth grade, 26 to 69 per cent in sixth grade and a drop from 43 to 38 per cent reading at grade level in seventh grade. “The progress is due to the hard work of a very dedicated faculty,” Mrs. Ritchie concluded. “We appreciate the hard work of the teachers and hope that the growth will continue,” board chairman Beverly Massie responded. Superintendent William Bloomer reported that the consultant from the text book company will make a followup visit this spring to continue reading work. He added that he was attempting to set up an in-service training workshop for teachers with the consultant prior to the opening of school in August. SRA Results Reporting on the results of the Science Research Associates (SRA) achievement tests. Dr. McDaniel noted that Rappahannock fourth graders had performed at or above expectancy levels (as measured by the Short Test of Educational Ability) in all areas except math computation. He reported that fourth graders here had matched the state totals in math concepts and social studies even though their ability ranking was below the state average. Eighth graders performed above STEA expectancy rankings in all achievement test areas except reading and matched the state average in science. Eleventh graders scored above expectancy levels in reading and social studies and at the state average in social studies. In the one sour note hit at Tuesday’s board meeting. Bloomer reported that the elementary school had been visited by termites. He said that he’d secured an estimate of $1,600 for treating all of Henry W. Block “Hie new tax forms.

Ann Thomas and Liz Freeman both ran comparable time to what they did last year in state competition, and several ninth grade runners competed on varsity level in the meet. Score was 83 for Rappahannock and 20 for Page. As indicated in the results, the RCHS varsity took first place in 13 of 14 events, and swept four events with the first three places. Time for the sprints and distances in the jumps were poor due to bad track conditions. As freshmen, both Mary Jordan and Bobbette Swindler had outstanding performances. Results of the meet: First, second and third place respectively were taken by Mary Jordan, Janice Aylor and Rhonda Estes in Shot; Janice Aylor, Kathy Jenkins and Wendy Jenkins in long jump; Johanna Day, Bobbette Swindler and Natalie Swindler in high jump; Lynell Prudhum, Ronda Wiley and Bobbette Swindler in hurdles. In the 440 relay in first place were Laura Tupper, Debbie Seal, Wendy Jenkins and Rhonda Brown; the 880 first, Natalie Swindler, Jackie Myers, Janice Aylor and Lynnell Prudhum; the mile, first, Jennifer Raney, Ronda Wiley, Johanna Day and Dee Welch.

Court Action Probable Goode Subdivision Postponed Again (Continued from Page 1) “Eighty-nine per cent of the 73 acreage total in the lots is now under 14 per cent,” he said. In light of the “degree of accuracy” imposed on Goode, Luke continued, all subdivisions—including those with five lots or less that are approved administratively—will be required to have two foot contour maps checked by the county engineer for compliance with regulations on slope. “That’s what we’re leading to,” he said. Goode has had to meet a “tighter compliance rule than we’ve applied to other parcels and lots,” Luke noted. “There’s not one thing that (the planning commissioners) have asked him to do or redo that he hasn’t ddne,” the supervisor chairman added. “With 90 per cent compliance, why not go all the way and get 100 per cent? Then there wouldn’t be any controversy,” countered supervisor H. B. Wood. “I haven’t had time to even see this yet,” said Wood, referring to Goode’s amended plan. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin asked what the planning commissioners had to say regarding the revised proposal. “It’s not up to them. It’s up to us,” said Luke. “We’ve got to fish or cut bait.” "We can’t pass the buck,” agreed supervisor J. R. Latham. “I voted against this the last time because the planning commission said it doesn’t comply,” Baldwin responded. “It’s only fair to get their opinion now.” Compliance? “Either we make the judgement on whether (Goode’s revised 13-lot proposal) is in substantial compliance or we shouldn’t be on this board,” Luke said, adding that the decision wasn’t difficult. Wood made the motion to delay action until the board’s next regular meeting on May 3 to allow all the supervisors time to review the revised plan. “We’ve had two years on this thing,’’ interjected Latham before a vote on the motion. "We just got the papers,” corrected supervisor "Butch” Eastham, referring to the revised subdivision plan. "But we knew what was being done,” Latham replied. "I think we’re malingering myself,” added Luke. The motion to delay action passed with Latham and Luke opposed. Following attorney Compton’s announcement that he and Goode would be in court on May 2, Luke suggested an executive session to name an attorney to represent the supervisors. (At the February board meeting, Commonwealth Attorney George Davis advised the supervisors to PREACHING MISSION sponsored by the Rappahannock Charge of The United Methodist Church APRIL16—REV. DAVID A. BALCOM of Arlington, Virginia APRIL 17—REV. ASHTON L. ARCHER of Remington, Virginia APRIL 18—REV. ROGER C.

After the supervisors disregarded his advice, Davis petitioned the court to be allowed to withdraw as counsel to the board, citing "irreconcilable conflict" over "substantive law and procedural law." Judge Rayner V. Snead granted the request.) After an executive session at the close of Thursday’s meeting, Luke reported that the supervisors had selected Culpeper lawyer Waugh Crigler from three out-ofcounty attorneys considered to be the board’s attorney on the Goode case. Preaching Mission “JESUS CALLS US” is the theme of the Preaching Mission sponsored by the Rappahannock Charge of the United Methodist Church on April 16, 17, and 18. All of the services will be conducted at the Flint Hill Baptist Church, beginning at 7:30 p.m. each evening. The visiting preachers for these evenings will be The Rev. David A. Balcom, pastor of Calvary United Methodist Church in Arlington (Monday, April 16); the Rev. Ashton L. Archer, pastor of the Remington Charge of the United Methodist Church (Tuesday, April 17); and the Rev. Roger C. Balcom, pastor of Riverton and John Wesley United Methodist Churches in Front Royal (Wednesday, April 18). Special music will be provided each evening, as well as an opportunity to sing some of your favorite hymns. There will be a covered dish dinner at the Flint Hill fire hall Monday evening, the 16th, beginning at 6:00 p.m. The Pastor and Congregations of the Rappahannock Charge invite all in, the , community to join them for these special evenings of music and preaching.

Capital Outlay Meeting The Rappahannock School Board will hold a special work session on Tuesday, April 17, at 7:30 in the elementary school library to discuss capital outlay plans. The meeting has been scheduled at the request of the board of supervisors who last week asked the school board to come up with priorities within four individual building projects. Previously, the school board had ranked expansion needs as (1) high school, (2) elementary school, (3) school bus garage and (4) central administrative offices. “The chairman indicated he wants us to take each project and determine the number one priority (within that project),’’ superintendent William Bloomer informed the school board at Tuesday’s meeting. As an example, he said the board must determine what needs are most pressing at the high school—classroom space, library expansion or cafeteria expansion. The board’s decision with alternatives to construction plans already presented, is to be ready for the supervisors by May 3. Market The Farmers’ Market will open Friday, May 4 instead of the following day as previously reported. The site chosen for the market is at the new Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative building on Route 211 between Washington and Sperryville.

Decision time is coming. Shall the first den of your dreams be a cozy apartment or a comfortable home, large enough to house your projected number of offsprings? Stop and reflect these alternatives. Apartment rents are climbing as available space lessens. On top of this, the monthly rent checks represent money that is gone forever. On the other hand, mortgage payments are a form of forced savings and actually build an equity for you. Also you can probably look forward to a profit when you eventually sell. One other consideration is the cost of household moves each time you stairstep to larger quarters. This expense could conceivably cost you every penny you thought you were saving by paying less for smaller quarters. Either way you decide - have a happy honeymoon!

THURSDAY, APRIL 12,1979 Yearning For ‘Safe’ Yesterdays Over Reaction To Danger Of Nuclear Power Plants By FRANCIS UPDIKE (Contributing Writer I read with great interest your editorial, Pandora’s Box, in the paper April 5. The “Utopian” situation to which you allude would be a nice dream for everyone, but that's what it is—just a dream. Oldfashioned conservation, to which you refer in your comments, has been practiced steadily by most electric consumers over the past three years. Still, that has not offset the increasing demand for electricity, nor its costs. Everyone in our society must live with some level of risk. Every new technology usually carries with it some degree of risk. Medical diagnostic x-rays, for example, are conservatively estimated to cause 2,700 cancer deaths each year. We can expect that automobiles are going to kill approximately 50,000 persons in 1979. Many people will not ride in an airplane, but there are only a few people who will not ride in a car. Yet any time you are riding in a car, the odds are one in 4,000 that you will be killed, but when riding in an airplane, the odds are only one in 100,000 that you will be killed. Ban The Auto? If the automobile had to be introduced into society today, we would all still be walking or riding horses. There is no way that such a killer (500,000 deaths in 10 years) would be allowed in this country. No responsible person can argue with the necessity of protecting the life support capability of our air, water, and land, and for reclaiming that capability where it has been lost by past abuses. The incremental cost of environmental enhancement beyond that point should provide a tangible and measurable commensurate economic benefit. But, when a group of people enjoin construction of a virtually completed $116 million multiple purpose dam (Tellico) which is estimated to generate 6,000 jobs, on the ground that its operation will endanger an obscure, useless and heretofore unknown subspecies of fish (the snail darter), then it seems reasonable to conclude that the real purpose of such action is other than protecting the environment's life support capability. Enhance Life Quality The national goal anticipated by the Environmental Policy Act, is the enhancement of the quality of life. Does this really mean, as calculated by Dr. Frank Parker of Vanderbilt University, that we must install cooling towers on a power plant at a cost of $83,500 per fish saved while sport fishermen continue improving devices to kill these fish for pleasure and amusement? The power of the sun is indeed awesome and inexhaustible. However, we do not have in place the large scale utilization technology necessary for solar energy to constitute any f substantial portion of the US energy supply, especially electricity, before well into the 21st Century. Dr. Alvin Weinberg (Institute for Energy Analysis at Oak Ridge Associated Universities) estimates that even with solar electric cells available at only seven percent of their present cost, firm solar electric energy, including storage, would exceed 10 cents per kilowatt hour. That is more than The writer is a native of Rappahannock County and now a resident of Culpeper. double today’s electricity costs. Solar power is not without problems adversely affecting the environment. The Battelle Institute in Columbus, Ohio, prepared a study on solar power for the Swiss Department of Energy and Transportation. The proposal would provide for 40 solar thermal power stations to be built in Switzerland by the end of the century. Environmentalists are opposing the proposal on the grounds that they do not want to see the Alps dotted with solar collectors. Many experts feel that our most viable option for energy independence is the Nuclear Breeder Reactor. The breeder can be construed as a “new source" of energy in the sense that the use of thorium and U-238 would produce 2,000 times more energy than the worldwide reserves of fossil fuels. It takes a ton of uranium ore to provide two ounces of uranium U-235 in the fuel for conventional nuclear reactors in operation today. Uranium-238 is a byproduct of today’s enrichment process. It cannot be used as a fuel but can be converted into plutonium-239 by a breeder reactor. In fact, there is enough of this useless waste stored at Paducah, Ky., to be worth over $20 trillion as fuel if converted by breeders. That sum represents more than 12 times this country’s gross national product. An added benefit is that no more mining for nuclear fuels would be needed for decades. Scared To Death Everyone is scared to death of nuclear radiation from power plants. In terms of radiation, the average American absorbs some 225250 millirem per year from background radiation, cosmic rays, x-rays. Living continuously at the site boundary of a 1000 mw nuclear power plant would add about 7 millirems (3.1 per cent) to this level. A person living in Colorado for one year absorbs 35 millirem extra radiation due to the altitude. And, apparently the cancer death rate in Denver is less than it is in Houston. If you remain near the Vanderbilt Avenue entrance to Grand Central terminal in New York City, the radiation dose is 400-450 millirem per year from the granite rock of which the terminal is constructed. Granite rock is naturally radioactive. If Grand Central Station were a nuclear reactor, it would not be licensable due to its high level of radiation. Dr. Bernard Cohen at the University of Pittsburgh estimates that if the entire U.S. electric industry operated on breeders, the yearly plutonium produced could cause one trillion deaths if dispersed with maximum efficiency. Annual US production of hydrogen cyanide is sufficient to cause six trillion deaths if effectively dispersed through the atmosphere. We make enough ammonia to kill eight trillion people, enough phosgene to wipe out 18 trillion, and enough chlorene to annihilate 400-trillion men and women each year. Obviously, without much thought to it, we are already routinely handling vast quantities of substances for more toxic than plutonium. The technology to store nuclear waste safely is at hand. The political consensus is not. Dr. Ralph Lapp points out that a gram of plutonium, even with a halflife of 24,000 years, will ultimately turn itself into a gram of lead. A gram of arsenic will always be a gram of arsenic—in perpetuity. Against WATER Too One last example of how far off base society has gone is exemplified by this story from Australia. Imperial Chemical Industries has announced the discovery of a new fire-fighting agent known as WATER (Wonderful and Total Extinguishing Resource). It is particularly suitable for dealing with fires in buildings, timber yards and warehouses, and is fairly cheap to produce. It is intended that quantities of about l'/i million gallons should be stored in open ponds or reservoirs near urban areas and installations of high fire risk. WATER is already encountering opposition from safety and environmental groups. One group member has pointed out that if anyone immersed his head in a bucket of WATER, it would prove fatal in as little as three minutes. Each of the proposed reservoirs will contain enough WATER to fill half a million three-gallon buckets. Each bucketful could be used a hundred or more times, so there is enough WATER in one reservoir to kill the entire population of the United Kingdom. Did we know, asked a firebrigade spokesman, what would happen to the new medium when it was exposed to intense heat? It has been reported that WATER is a constituent of beer. Does this mean that firemen could become intoxicated from the fumes when they use it to put out a fire? Ihe Friends ot the World” said they had obtained a sample of WATER and found it made clothes shrink. If it did this to cotton, what would it do to people? In the House of Commons, the Home Secretary was asked if he would prohibit the manufacture and storage of this lethal new material. A full investigation was needed, he replied, and the Major Hazardous Group would be asked to report. If mankind is to solve his energy and environmental problems within the limits of his motivations and social institutions, it will be via expansion, advance, and intense application of his scientific knowledge, rather than retreating from his potential into a “safe” yesterday. This bumper sticker recently appeared in Atlanta: More People Have Died In Ted Kennedy’s car than in Nuclear Power Plants. Park Visits Up 13 Percent With the arrival of spring, visits to Shenandoah National Park have picked up. According to statistics released by superintendent Robert Jacobsen, park visits for March, 1979, total 76,900—an increase of 13.6 per cent over the 67,700 visits in March, 1978. For Calendar Year 1979 compared with Calendar Year 1978, the increase is 2 per cent—from 135,300 in 1978 to 138,000 in 1979. For March, Big Meadows weather statistics show a maximum temperature of 72 degrees and a minimum of nine degrees. Precipitation totaled 4.07 inches and snowfall amounted to five inches. THE FIRST HILL ON THE COURSE of the Fodderstack Classic Race scheduled for Saturday, April 21 from Flint Hill to Washington is long and gentle and 111 bet taxing for the inexperienced, but should prove fun for those who do not take their running as seriously as others. The race is open to all who wish to enter with a registration fee of $5 by or before April 14 or $6 from then until starting time. OK, let ’s go! « Park Offers j Teacher Workshop A workshop in environmental and energy education for elementary teachers will be held in Shenandoah National Park on April 28. According to Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen, the workshop is designed to familiarize teachers with the resources available in the Park, and to assist them in developing programs for elementary students in environmental awareness and energy dynamics. The session will be held at the Harry F. Byrd Visitor Center at Big Meadows (Milepost 51) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Interested teachers or principals may contact the Assistant Chief Park Naturalist at Shenandoah National Park (999-2243, ext. 39 or 43) from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Participants must make reservations by April 16. Applications are being mailed to area elementary school principals. Supervisors Give School Board No Promises (Continued from Page 1) order to meet state requirements for graduation, 3. a building trades class for students who are currently meeting in a 20 ft. by 10 ft. materials storage closet with no heat and no venilation. Bloomer noted that the trailers are necessary since all classrooms at the high school are currently being used every period during the day. Permanent buildings expanding high school facilities, he said, couldn’t be built by August, 1979. According to Bloomer, most of the increases in the proposed school budget are directly due to state and federal mandates. For instance, additional aides for physical and special education are necessary to provide flexibility to meet a mandate for duty free lunches voted by the General Assembly this year, he said. In the area of special education, regulations state that the schools must provide transportation For the handicapped, Bloomer noted. He added that the law allows for payments in lieu of transportation if parents so choose. “But if they elect for us to provide the transportation, we must,” he said. Luke asked if there was any way the van used for commodities could be modified instead of spending $16,200 included in the proposed budget for a new handicapped vehicle. Bloomer replied that the state was no longer approving modified vehicles for handicapped transportation. “How many do we have? What's the state of the handicapped?” asked supervisor H. B. Wood. Bloomer answered that one child was transported to Charlottesville for weekly therapy. This youngster must be strapped to a board for security during the ride although the child is capable of sitting, crawling and standing with assistance. “Is that therapy or education?” asked Luke. The superintendent explained that education is provided by the Child Development Specialist who goes into the home and assists the parents in working with the child on skill development so the child “can perform more adequately when he appears in school.” “We have to weigh costs versus compassion,” Luke responded. “This looks like a health problem rather than an educational problem.” Bloomer replied that the State of Virginia requires school systems to provide services to handicapped children between the ages of two and 20. In addition to the youngster already mentioned, Bloomer said that two other children are transported to Charlottesville for therapy while eight children are driven to and from the elementary school for speech classes. The pre-schoolers in speech therapy need restraints while being transported, said Bloomer. He recalled two potentially hazardous incidents—first when a child grabbed the steering wheel and second when a child opened a locked rear door and swung out on the door while the car was traveling over 50 mphs. Because of federal and state mandates, Rappahannock schools will have increasing enrollments in special education classes, interjected school board chairman Beverly Massie. “We are told we have to go out and FIND these children,” she said, adding that parents are encouraged by other agencies to demand services from the schools. “It’s not that the school system doesn’t have compassion,” she continued. “The money has to be spent (for handicapped services) but the school board feels this is a health and welfare (department) responsibility, not education...But we have no other choice. We could possibly face a suit if the services (to the handicapped) are not provided,” Mrs. Massie said. Elementary Sewage System Col. Luke noted that $8,000 for upgrading the elementary school’s sewage treatment lagoon had been cut by the school board from the superintendent’s recommended budget. “Suppose the State Water Control Board tests (the lagoon) and says ‘Get this thing fixed or else.’ Are we Letter To The Editor League Concerned To the editor: The Izaak Walton League is concerned about the adverse impact of the Alpine Slide on Rappahannock County. We have written a letter (copy below) to the County Board of Supervisors expressing our concern about the validity of the building permit for this commercial venture. Strict adherence to county ordinances and procedure is essential. We commend the Board of its continuing thorough approach to the Goode property rezoning. Despite last Thursday’s arguments that approval should be granted because Mr. Goode was “90 per cent in compliance” with county ordinances, the Board voted to study the material placed before its members before taking action. We wholeheartedly agree. Shipshod approval of partial compliance could quickly destroy an ordinance and lead to no compliance at all. This has happened in several nearby Jurisdictions. This is precisely the issue which led the League to question last fall a faulty amendment to the zoning ordinance and to write the Board of Supervisors recently asking for an explanation of the procedures employed with regard to the Alpine Slide proposal. Once loopholes are opened in the county ordinances for any would-be developer, the record of Virginia court decisions makes it clear that everyone must be allowed the same lenience. The Izaak Walton League believes the county should scrupulously apply the rules it has so carefully crafted over the years. Should a court determine that some of these rules are vague and unenforceable, the response should be to improve the rules; we should not givp up on the concepts which led to their formulation. The Izaak Walton League will continue to follow closely all actions related to the development ot any Alpine Slide in this county. BOB DENNIS President Rappahannock Chapter Izaak Walton League Country Fair Set A spring day in the country can be enjoyed next week on Saturday, April 21st at the Washington Baptist Church where a craft fair and sale will be featured, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Grandma’s Attic Sale should produce some interesting items along with a bake sale and shrub sale. Other activities will be events and games for children and horse and wagon tours of the town. Box lunches will be sold and country music will be provided by the Lee Family of Washington. An invitation is extended everyone to come out and enjoy a spring day in the country. on a marginal operation?” he asked. “If there’s a critical failure in the middle of the year will we have to shut the school down?” Bloomer answered that there had been difficulty in meeting guidelines for effluent from the lagoon last year. This year, he said, effluent is “slightly under” the maximum allowed for suspended solids and BOD (biological oxygen demand). Mrs. Massie interjected that the school board would make adjustments and find funds for upgrading the system within the proposed budget, should problems arise. “You don’t have $8,000 slop you can put on this,” Luke countered. Mrs. Massie repeated that the board would find the money if necessary, without coming back to the supervisors for an additional appropriation. In response to a question from Col. Luke, Bloomer explained that a reduction in ,a transportation service costs in the proposed budget for gasoline, oil, lubricants, repairs, tires, parts and supplies reflected the absence of a summer school program. Transportation for summer school caused the higher amount in the current budget, he explained, adding that any classes this summer would be funded through Title I. Luke also questioned the $25,320 item in the proposed budget for school heating fuel—the same amount as in the current budget. "I’ll be damned if I can see how you’re going to run the schools for the same amount as you did last year with the increases in fuel prices,” he said. “We have to operate with the figures that are brought to us," Mrs. Massie responded. She added that conservation programs, including lowered thermostats and a new maintenance contract, should reduce the amount of fuel needed. (The budget recommended by the superintendent included an additional $1,180 for anticipated rises in the cost of fuel oil and coal. The school board cut the cushion against cost increases from the budget forwarded to the supervisors.) “Fish Or Cut Bait” Noting that an appropriation for underground Correction The date of the April meeting of the Rappahannock Welfare Board was printed incorrectly in the calendar for April. The board will meet on April 20 at 10 a.m. in the welfare offices. gasoline tanks at the school bus garage had been approved by the supervisors “two, three years ago,” Luke maintained that installation had been put off for so long that it was going to take "a hell of a lot more than $8,000” for the project. Bloomer reported that the school board had recently received notice from the State Water Control Board that the proposed site for the new school bus garage was unacceptable. According to the SWCB, run-off from the buses will seep into the lagoon and “tear it all to pieces by killing the bacteria,” said Bloomer. He added that an alternative site for the bus garage and gas tanks behind the existing bus shop on Route 211 would take up part of the playing field. “When can we expect to get all these pieces in order?” asked Luke, apparently referring to capital outlay plans for the schools as well .as for the bus garage. “We need a gradual * approach so we won’t be hit by increased costs later...I think it’s about time to make up our minds, to fish or cut bait...Five years is too long to make a decision,” he said, adding that the supervisors expected gas tanks installed by the end of the year if an appropriation for underground tanks was again included in the budget. Luke raised questions about the legality of funding another capital outlay item, $7,300 for track equipment. Since private donations paid for installation of the track, funds didn’t go through the treasurer’s office and therefore, “the track isn’t there for accounting purposes,” Luke said. Accountant Walter Cox explained that the state will require localities to go to a “fixed assets” accounting system in a few years. With no record of the money spent on installing the track, he said, there’s no way to fix its value. Cox added that questions may also be raised as to who owns the track since it was built on public land but with private funds. Salaries Approved After the supervisors approved the 1979-80 teacher salaries, a scale that Bloomer described as “rather competitive at the lower end,” Mary Schumaker told the board members they needed to think about how to keep experienced teachers from leaving Rappahannock schools. She noted that 18 teachers had indicated to date they weren’t returning next year. Mrs. Massie countered that the turn-over rate was high throughout the state; (Continued on Page 10) The Little Fox TTTTT

Travels Through China (Diana and Lee Bird of Horse Shoe Hollow Farm, Washington, left on March 10 for a trip to the People’s Republic of China. Mrs. Bird agreed to keep a journal of her travels and share her impressions of the land with her Rappahannock neighbors. The following account, part one, is dated March 19 and was written after less than a week in China.) What can one report that counts after less than a week in China? The U.

We are told about treatment and results in this area: Research and experimentation has been carried out on gall bladder patients who have been able to successfully pass stones without operations. The emphasis seems to be on avoiding surgery as much as possible. At all points, we ask questions, often what appear to be very silly ones. I am embarrassed but our Chinese hosts are patient and answer. Our group has a member who is a fourth year student of Chinese language and a third year law student. He listens as everything is interpreted and translated hence we have the potential to understand everything that goes on around us. Language Barriers The overwhelming feeling we receive, intensified with every experience, is that an exceptional attempt is being made to communicate with us. If we fail to get the whole story, it is probably owing to our inability to ask the right questions. When something seems improbable, we may have failed to take into account crucial facts. Above all, while it is clear that we are being shown what “they” want us to see, I know that what we are shown hasn’t been specially arranged. One can’t arrange a scene where 1,200 patients arrive at the hospital nor the wards where the ill people are treated. It would be far easier for our Chinese hosts at the hospital to refuse to entertain | us. After all, we are a group ! for the most part of legally trained individuals, not medical personnel. Even as I write this, I’m ashamed of raising the credibility question. China is poor, simple, struggling to make ends meet. Everyone who talks to us mentions this. They have achieved miracles in a dozen spheres of social, economic and political organization. They probably have no more prospect of solving their problems than we have of solving ours. But they are making a clear effort to do so. At the hospitak, I was tempted to inquire what the administration considers its 'most important problem. 1 felt, however, that the answer is obvious: money for better facilities. They might have answered “more trained staff.” We were told that they have two classes of one hundred (new medical personnel) each, most of them studying nursing, i The doctors said a new hospital is being constructed adjacent to the present one—underground to prepare for a possible nuclear attack. All the staff was friendly and even the patients seemed interested in seeing us and weren’t embarrassed at our stares. Westerners A Curiosity Here in Taiyuan, we are more of a curiosity than in Peking. This city has only recently been opened for tourists. It has a beautiful temple complex built centuries ago. We were shown a | Cyprus alleged to be over 3,000 years old and other very ancient trees. The site of the temple complex was determined by a wonderful spring which never fails. In this part of the country, such an asset would be venerated indeed. The principal temple in the -51 Service Center • V.W. Vehicle Specialist • Repairs on Most Foreign and American Cars 30 Ashby St., Warrenton, Va. 347-3785 :omplex is dedicated to the ‘holy mother,” presumably the mother of a particular nobleman of the Sung dynasty about 960 A.D. She is shown sitting in buddah fashion, dressed all in white. Surrounding her are 40 other statues, presumably her ladies in waiting. Each statue is so individualistic that one feels it’s possible to read their characters and personalities. Upon our arrival, we asked to see some sort of factory or work facility. It was quickly arranged for us to visit a lacquer factory where chests, tables, screens and pictures painted on glass are made from start to finish. One of our group is a professor of industrial relations and she had many searching questions to ask. Many of the employees of this factory are skilled artists who form and assemble scenes of persons, flowers, animals and buildings on the surface of lacquer furniture. We were shown each process and told how three old masters of this art make the designs and teach the younger workers. We watched as gold leaf was rubbed into lines drawn in the lacquer surface and paint applied to the goldfilled lines and ivory faces of people in the scenes. The care and skill required to do this work was obvious and it appeared that the workers, men and women, were appreciative and supportive of one another. We took some Polaroid pictures of them as presents and they were delighted. As we departed, factory workers appeared on balconies of the several stories high building to wave friendly good-byes. A Night At The Opera On the evening of our arrival in Taiyuan, we attended an opera called “The Dumb Girl and the Spring.” This musical production of a Chinese folk tale has a handsome cast dressed in dazzling, colorful costumes. The basic story: a community is in need of water. In the past, their spring was seized by a monster who prevents their using it. The community decides to challenge the monster. A hunter and a young girl attempt to steal a magic needle from the monster and uncover the well. A fairy godfather appears who encourages them but informs the girl that if she is successful, she will be struck dumb and blind. She struggles over the decision to sacrifice herself for the benefit of the community, resolves to keep her secret and finds the spring. In the end, her sight is restored but she remains dumb. Despite her handicap, the brave and handsome hunter is happy to marry her. I won’t comment on the story line but it is new for opera to treat such a subject which refers not once to society as it is constituted today.

Taiyuan is a city of over a million people. It looks entirely shabby and poor. There are no signs of metropolitan development as we know it. Tickets to performances such as we saw at the opera are available at one’s place of work and presumably distributed in a fair way among the workers. While there seemed to be only one plane at the Peking airport when we arrived late at night on March 13, there are 15 airplanes of one sort or another in sight as we prepare to depart Taiyuan on Tuesday morning. I presume they must be military for the most part. Their design is not new. In Peking, there was evidence of many military personnel, some employees at civilian tasks, other possibly in transit and some new recruits. Nothing has been said to us about the war with Viet Nam. In fact, we feel pretty isolated from all news. We have been told that English speaking residents can listen to a Voice of America news broadcast everyday.

When people were stranded by automobile breakdowns, he put them up in his home until parts arrived and the car could be repaired. Sometimes the visitors stayed for four or five days, living like members of the family. Merrill has been a part of the county for so long that it’s hard to remember he’s not a Rappahannock native. But he’s close to that status. His parents moved from Wisconsin to Virginia when he was just four years old. “They wanted to get where it was warmer, 1 guess,” he recalled. Merrill entered the car business in 1915 with repair work. “Course, it didn’t take too much with model T’s,” he said, remembering days when there were fewer horses under the hood, when brakes and windows could almost count as “extras”. Next, he had an associate dealership in Prince William County. “Then I went with the factory proper and I’ve been with them ever since,” he said. Merrill started his own business in Washington with an inventory of two cars valued at $270 and a truck worth $290. “In those days, 1 sold a lot more cars than I do now. They were cheaper AND I was the only dealer around,” he remembered. Cars For Hams To buy a car back then, the prospective purchaser at the motor company wasn’t faced with the alternatives of a whopping down payment or the old car was a trade-in. Merrill had a novel approach. Once he swapped a vehicle for a bunch of steers. Another time, the trade was “a whole back end of a car full of hams.” That type of business arrangement was necessary. In the old days, flexibility was the key to “dealing with country people,” he said. Color choices weren’t a problem then either. “You could get any color you wanted—as long as you took black,” Merrill joked. With inflation putting the bite on family budgets, it would be nice to turn back the calendar on car prices to a half century age. “You could get a brand new roadster for $250. A convertible was about $30 more,” Merrill recalled. Todav’s vehicles, however, are better built, according to Merrill. In the 1920’s, they didn’t last as long. “Then you could only expect to get 6,000 or 7,000 miles,” he explained. Demanding Business “Running the motor company takes all of my time because I can’t get any help,” Merrill maintained. But he’s managed to squeeze a couple hours beyond the standard 24 from a day and has found time for other pursuits. A charter member of the Washington Fire Department when it was formed in 1939, Merrill was awarded a life membership about ten years ago in recognition of his dedicated service and work. In addition, the motor company has not been his only business venture. For a while, he leased orchards and traveled all over the state to horticultural meetings with Herbert Foster and other county orchardists. But he quit “fooling with apples” when labor got too hard to find, Merrill said. Labor is still a problem. “I’m lucky to find fellows to work here (in the motor company),” he stated. Currently, Merrill’s chief mechanic is his grandson Mark Bailey. Grandfather “isn’t tough to work for,” according to IMBe Em* of Marshal RtS5 Mark. "He mostly lets me do things my own way. Although he has ideas of his own, he’s pretty tolerant of new ideas. He’s great with old stuff and farm equipment,” Mark added. Once he made up his mind to make Rappahannock his home, Merrill built the stone house at the edge of town in 1935. His daughter Marilyn Bailey lives there now. i Mrs. Bailey confirmed that running the motor company has been a full-time job and then some with the entire family involved. She recalled that she spent “as much time there as I was allowed to,” helping with the books, pumping gas and checking oil. Cars, sales and service have always been a big part of the family’s life. ‘‘We never had a regular mealtime schedule. Daddy would run home from the garage to eat and then rush back,” she said. Despite all the hard work, Merrill has managed t«J^> retain his sense of humor. According to a friend, he was asked once what his initials “L. V.” stood for. “Why boy, don’t you know?” answered Merrill, puffing out his chest and pulling back his shoulders with the everpresent cigar stub dangling from his lip. "It’s Large and Vicious, of course.” Married In 1928 Merrill was married to the former Ruth Nethers of Madison County from 1928 until her death in 1964. After 12 years as a widower, he climbed back on the marriage-go-round in 1976 with Dorothy Redding Vance, a childhood friend of both Merrill and his sister. Dorothy and L. V.’s relationship goes back to the years when they were both tall teenagers in a short world, according to Merrill’s daughter Marilyn. With the typical teenager’s aversion to being different, they hung around together so that they’d be at least two of a kind. Mrs. Vance remained friends with Merrill’s family through the years. When he started making trips to Prince William seven or eight years ago to see her, the subject of marriage came up. According to reliable sources, Merrill told Dorothy that he planned to sell the garage and then they would get married. But his family knew the strength of his attachment to his business. To help Cupid along, they advised Dorothy to move to Rappahannock since it was unlikely that Merrill would sell his motor company. (The advice had a double purpose. Merrill’s family didn’t want him to leave Rappahannock either, according to daughter Marilyn.) Mrs. Vance purchased the Massie house in Washington and although Merrill didn’t sell the garage, he did get married. A friend remembered the day of the wedding. “Mr. Merrill’s the slickest human being alive. He slid ’round to get married (at the Clerk’s Office) and didn’t tell a soul. He asked Warren (Foster) to watch the garage for a few minutes—he never came back to the garage at all.” When Merrill’s cronies figured out what had happened, they told Foster that Merrill had gone on his honeymoon. ‘‘If we hadn’t, Warren would have had a long wait!” the source of the story added with a smile. Although leaving full-time work at his motor company will be like abandoning an old friend, Merrill insists that he plans to reorganize this summer. He wants to either sell the business (everyone’s heard that before!) or find someone to manage it so he can enjoy a little leisure time. Merrill wants to travel primarily to Florida where most of his family lives. But he won’t leave Rappahannock for good. “I’d never go there to retire,” he vowed. “I’ll just have to travel back and forth.” ++++ In this age the man who dares to think for himself' and to act independnetly does a service to his race. —J.

To dean eggs wash them in cold tap water. Do not use a detergent, soap or cleanser. 2. IMPORTANT! For beat results, boil not only hardcooked eggs, but boil blownand-rinsed eggshells before dyeing them. (Be sure to use enamel, glass or stainless steel pans, not aluminum, 'iron, etc.) Most eggs today have been washed with a detergent, rinsed in a sanitizing solution, and coated with an oil-base spray, all of which are invisible but protective to the eggs. These solutions, however, tend to make the dyeing of eggs with pure food colors more difficult. Boiling the eggs and the blown eggshells will often counteract the effects of these solutions. 3. ALSO IMPORTANT! For better dyed eggs it's often necessary to use more vinegar than called for in dyeing directions. This helps cut through the oil-base-spray coating mentioned above in paragraph No. 2. 4. To blow an egg: Make a hole about the size of a small pea in each end of the egg with sharp-pointed skewers, old-fashioned ice pick or manicure scissors, being sure to puncture inner membrane of egg. Blow through one end of egg until contents are emptied into a bowl. Be sure not to have on lipstick! If blowing is difficult, enlarge hole. Rinse well inside and out. 5. To rinse blown eggshells fill the shell with cold tap water, shake eggshells vigorously, then blow water from shell. If necessary, repeat. (This is to make sure all the albumen is rinsed away; should any of it be left it will not only cause the shell to have a “spoiled egg odor” but will mix with the dye bath causing an uneven dye job.) 6.

By MRS. MARIE ATKINS Rappahannock News Correspondent The home of Mr. and Mrs. George Butler, Sr. was the setting for a party Wednesday in honor of the 85th birthday of Mrs. Jesse Hawkins. Others present were Mr. Hawkins, Mrs. Cary Thornhill, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Duncan, Mrs. A. B. Honts and Mrs. Annie Hitt of Rixeyville. Mrs. Hawkins, Mrs. Honts, Mrs. Butler and Mrs. Thornhill are sisters. Mr. and Mrs. Billy Meredith of Reva Park and Mr. and Mrs. John Lamb, Steve and Wayne were Sunday luncheon guests of Mr. and Mrs. Billy Fincham and family. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Frazier, Michele and Michael Wayne were Saturday supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Meade in Culpeper. Sunday they had dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Atkins in Sperryville and in the afternoon, Mrs. Frazier and children visited Mrs. Edward Gore, Keith and Heather in Sperryville. Dallas Johnson of Fayettsville, N.C. spent from Wednesday through Sunday with his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Cary Thornhill. Mrs. Charlie Dodson and Mrs. Christine Corbin spent Monday in Winchester and Wednesday were guests of Mrs. Ann Taylor in Richmond. Frank Duncan makes regular trips to visit his mother, Mrs. Ethel Smith, who underwent major surgery in University Hospital, Charlottesville Monday. Frank Freeman and Paul of Silver Spring, Md. were Saturday overnight guests of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Starry. Other Sunday visitors were Randolph Jenkins of Etlan and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Winkler. Mrs. Joye Payne of Madison was a Sunday guest of her father, the Rev. W. B. School Budget (Continued from Page 4) that young teachers left to get married, old teachers to retire and others for a combination of factors. Supervisor Wood agreed with Mrs. Massie’s explanation of Rappahannock’s high turn-over rate, adding that many persons were trying to insinuate “something else.” “Some teachers are leaving to get married and some are leaving to retire," interjected Jennings Hobson. “But others are leaving for jobs where they’re better appreciated, where they make more money." He added that starting salaries may be competitive but that teachers here, unlike those in surrounding counties, received no fringe benefits. Mrs. Massie explained to the supervisors that the school board had cut a provision for payment of mandatory life insurance premiums—the only fringe benefit included in the recommended budget — because the board members had a hard time justifying premium payment when the teachers’ families were policy beneficiaries. The supervisors took no further action on budget proposals. The next budget hearing, which will include a review of Welfare Department requests for 1979-80, is scheduled for Wednesday, April 18, at 10 a.m. in the court house.

Kenneth i Robinson has expressed opposition to a proposal issued by the U. S. Department of the Army last 1 Friday to close down Vint i Hill Farms Station in i Fauquier County. j The Army department has i proposed to relocate Army , Intelligence and Security Command (INSCON) from Vint Hill and Arlington Hall Station in Arlington to Fort George Meade in Maryland. Plans also call for Vint Hill’s Signals warfare laboratory to relocate in Woodbridge, Va., and for the Fauquier installation's U. S. Army Electronics Material Readiness Activity (EMRA) to move to Fort Monmouth, N. J., and Tobyhanna Army Depot, Pa. a “1 am much concerned by the announcement that the Army is contemplating phasing out operations at Vint Hill Farms Station over the next few years,” Robinson stated. “It should be kept in mind at this time, however, that the decision is not final. It is a recommendation now in a 30-day comment period. Robinson suggested that local officials and other concerned citizens who desire to protest the proposed phase-out of operations at Vint Hill during the 30-day public comment period should address their concerns before April 27th to: Department of the Army, Attention: SALL, The Pentagon, Washington, D.
