Rappahannock News, May 31, 1979

Washington. Virginia Phone 975-3349 30th YEAR, NO. 22 USPS 433580 10 Pa*®3 THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1979 ^ Newspaper Founded 1877 Bet On Lowe For Olympics By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rappahannock County may have a representative at the 1980 Olympic Games. Cathy Lowe, physical education teacher at the elementary school, is trying out for the women’s field hockey team and if her past performance is any indication, she’d better start polishing her stick for the games. At Longwood College, Lowe played varsity field hockey for four years, reaching national collegiate competition held at James Madison University when she was a sophomore. Her team finished sixth in the United States that year. After graduation, she played with the Washington, D. C. women’s team and was selected in 1978 as a member of the number one Southeast team to compete in the U. S. Field Hockey Association’s national finals. Lowe swept into the Rappahannock school system in September like a miniature tornado, packing energy enough for ten in her diminutive five foot, 1 inch 110 pound frame. She’s revitalized the elementary physical education program. Kids leave her class tired but exhilarated after discovering that they can run further and faster, do more than three sit-ups, score a soccer goal and swat a home run. nun, maui an vi scvcmu gfttdfe boys, notoriously opposed to square dancing, were cutting a rug with their dosey do’s this winter when phys ed classes moved indoors. Lowe found a secret approach in warming them up with disco dancing before moving on to the square stuff. The kids hardly missed a beat when they switched from the freak and the L. A. hustle to promenading their partners. After school, Lowe organized a gymnastics program and helped with the afternoon basketball competition for sixth and seventh grade boys and girls. At the high school, she assisted coach Ann Speiker with girls track and is now directing part of her inexhaustable energy into starting a field hockey interest group. She currently has enough girls signed up for two intra-mural teams. “Hopefully, we’ll get r off the ground next fall,” she said. With her contacts among high school hockey coaches in Fauquier and Stafford, she plans to arrange a couple of outside games for her girls. Aware of budgetary constraints in the RCHS athletic program, she said she will try this summer to secure equipment loans through the U. S. Field Hockey Association. On top of her work with kids, Lowe also runs an exercise class for adults that meets weekly at the elementary school in the evening. “Runs” is the right word for it too since the major emphasis in the course is on jogging for fitness. Summer Camp Try-Outa In between Olympic tryouts, Lowe will coach high school girls in field hockey at the Tidewater District’s summer camp. She’ll attend camp herself in competition to make the U. S. team, first at JMU’s “C” camp during the last week in July for a week’s observation, then, if she passes through cuts, on to “B” camp in New Jersey for a week. Once she makes it oast the “B” camo wars, she’ll be a member of the U. S. squad and will attend the final “A” camp in Colorado for another week. To be on the safe side, she’d probably be wise in making a preliminary request now for time off from classes to compete in the Olympics. With her hectic schedule, she may be too busy to remember to ask later. Lowe currently lives in Sperryville but plans to move soon to a house in Old Hollow that she will share with her twin sister Donna and Raye Rector, both Longwood graduates who’ve been hired to teach at the elementary school next year. If her twin is a carbon copy, the School Board better start planning now for a new roof at the elementary school—a double dose of Lowe energy just might send the old top flying.

Baseball Volunteers Needed The Rappahannock Athletic Association will hold an organization meeting for summer baseball on Thursday, May 31, at 7 p.m. in Trinity Episcopal Church parish hall, Washington. The Association now in its third year, has conducted instructional baseball and soccer programs for youngsters and recreational volleyball and basketball for adults. “We’re going to need all the help we can get for baseball this year,” said RRA president Guy Foster. Volunteers are needed for coaches, umpires, statisticians and groundskeepers. Anyone interested in helping with this countywide youth program is urged to attend Thursday’s meeting. Planning Grant Awarded Rappahannock County ljas been awarded a $9,000 planning grant by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), according to an announcement made last week by the Virginia Department of Housing. The grant is intended to cover two-thirds of the cost of the county’s comprehensive plan, currently being drawn up by the RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission in conjunction with the Rappahannock Planning Commission. The proposed 1979-80 county budget includes $3,000 for the local match with the remaining $1,500 to be covered by an “in kind” donation of services. John Capelle, executive directive of the Planning District Commission, explained that the “in kind” donation can include time spent by the county’s^ planners in developing the comprehensive plan. Capelle said he will request a resolution accepting the grant from the Rappahannock supervisors at their July 7 board meeting. Civil War Battle Sunday Civil War units will reenact the Battle of Malvern Hill Sunday, June 3, at Midland in Fauquier County. Sponsored by the WarrentonFauquier Jaycees and units of the Army of Northern Virginia, the reenactment is part of the “Battle for Breath” against cystic fibrosis. All proceeds from the presentation will be turned over to the Virginia Chaper of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

D.C. motorist: and brought Californi; drivers to their knees i: making itself felt in Rap pahannock. A check of area station: prior to the busy Memoria Day weekend found ga: supplies 10 to 30 per ceni below last year with somt operators going to shortenec hours and maximum pur chases. None of the station operators sounded ap prehensive but neither would anyone predict what allocations will be in the coming months. Exxon stations appear to be the most affected. Fred Settle reported his Sperryville Exxon is closing on Wednesdays to stretch gas supplies out through the month while Jenkins Exxon in Amissville now closes at noon on Saturday and 6 p.m. on Tuesday. Both stations are currently receiving 80 per cent of the gas allocation they received last year. Settle and Mrs. Sarah Jenkins also said that their stations had run out of gas between deliveries in the last month. In addition, Mrs. Jenkins said the Amissville Exxon station would liiViit customers to a 10 gallon maximum purchase during the Memorial Day weekend. Country Manor Texaco station outside of Sperryville has also instituted a maximum purchase, limiting customers to $5 gas sales. The Texaco station has had its allocation cut by the same 20 per cent as Exxon stations. Country Manor, however, will continue to sell gas until supplies are exhausted rather than curtailing hours of operation. Graham Hackley at Amissville reported that his Texaco station has also had its allocation cut by 20 per cent. “There’ll be no change in our hours of operation. We’ll sell it until we run out,” he said, predicting that his tanks would run dry by Friday evening of the Memorial Day weekend. "We’ve run out on Saturday “Come Mister Tally Man 99 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer A call for a tally man in Rappahannock won’t send a counter racing to the docks to tally bunches of ripe bananas. Here, on the county’s wooded hillsides, tally men work with forest warden Lyt Wood keeping track of type, diameter and heighth of hardwood trees marked for selective cutting. The Virginia Division of Forestry will provide advice and assistance to landowners on tree management. At the landowner’s request, foresters will check hardwood stands, marking trees for selective cutting. “With fire fighting, it’s the most valuable service we provide,” said Wood. “It ensures a productive residual stand.” Besides being beneficial for the ecological balance of the area, the Forestry Service's assistance program can pay financial dividends. As an example, Wood reported that a local landowner who’d decided to sell timber off his property called in loggers for an estimate and was offered $2,500 for wood from the 17 acres. Fortunately, the landowner checked with the Forestry Division before settling the deal. Wood said he walked the tract, measuring and marking trees for cutting, and came up with an estimated harvest of 88,000 board feet. He approximated value at $6,000—more than double the original offer from the logger. Wood advised the landowner to put the marked timber out on bids and to accept no offers less than $6,000. Since the Forestry Division charges only $1 per 1,000 board feet taken off tracts marked by division personnel, the landowner in this case may end up almost $3,000 richer for taking part in the assistance program. Free Recommendation “Selective cutting is not a universal prescription for timbering," Wood emphasized. Thinning or clear cutting i* better suited for some property, he said. “But we’d at least like the opportunity to look at the tract of anyone thinking of timber cutting. We’ll make a recommendation. The landowner has no obligation to accept it and it doesn’t cost him anything,’’ Wood added. If the landowner decides to harvest his timber through selective cutting, Wood returns with his tally man and sounding axe, diameter tape, a special instrument used for determining tree heighth and a can of yellow paint. Wood walks the tract, splashing big bright X’s on the trees to be taken down by loggers. He attempts to select trees in groups to help minimize damage from heavy logging equipment. “It’s almost like clear cutting in blocks,” he explained. Generally, trees chosen for selective cutting have a diameter of 18-20 inches or larger. Smaller trees that are defective or located on a poor growing site are also cut. In addition, said Wood, smaller trees within a block of large trees will be taken while larger trees outside the cutting block may be left standing. Wood explained that the damage caused by heavy logging equipment wouldn’t justify cutting an isolated 24 incher, no matter how fine the specimen. ”1 wish there was some way we could get light draft horses back into Rappahannock,” he joked. Factors influencing the choice of a particular block on the tract for selective cutting include site conditions, residual stand (or what will be left after the loggers are through), timber defects, timber growth rate and species. Regarding growth rate. Wood explained that frequently, smaller trees with a slower growth rate are cut while larger, more vigorous trees are left. The vigorous trees, he said, will continue to grow at a faster rate, producing more saleable wood annually than the smaller trees. The most valuable species of timber trees are white oak, red oak, ash, walnut and yellow poplar—all suitable for veneer, according to Wood. As the forester bangs the trees with his sounding axe and marks their trunks with yellow paint he calls out the species, heighth and diameter for the tally man to keep track of on his sheets. The tally man fills out a separate sheet for each tree species found on the property, including the number of trees marked for selective cutting, average size, board feet and number of culls (trees to be downed but not counted in the harvest.) Prospective Bayen Listed The tally man’s sheets are copied for the landowner $nd included in the report from ; the Forestry Division on the selective marking. “We also provide a list of prospective (Continued on Page 2) -r —Rappahannock New* Photo/D.

Citgo has cut its operators by 30 per cent, according to Eddie Sutphin, owner of the Hillsdale Citgo station on route 211 east of Washington. “But we're not running out." he noted. Ester Settle reported that Settle's Garage in Flint Hill 1 1 had also been cut back on gas supplies by Citgo. "I'm not sure how much because we got all we needed this month,” she said, noting that the station would continue regular hours, including Sunday gas sales.

He will oppose incumbent H. B. Wood. Jr. of Woodville. Kilpatrick, 35, has called Rappahannock County his home since his parents bought land here 13 years ago. He is married to the former Sharon Stone and they have two children. They have lived at Hawthorn Farm in the F. T. Valley for the past five years. Active in church affairs, he is senior warden of Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington and also teaches Sunday School. Although this is his first bid for elective office, Kilpatrick is no stranger to politics. As a newspaperman for 10 years, he has closely observed local and state governments in several areas. "The battles over land, zoning and taxes that are being fought here today were fought years ago in the counties to the north and east of us. I think we ought to learn from their mistakes," he said. An avid hunter, fisherman and canoeist. Kilpatrick strongly believes that only through careful land use planning and zoning can the rural nature of the county be preserved. ‘‘If we make the same mistakes that were made in Loudoun and Fauquier counties, in Spotsylvania and Stafford, our hardwood and pine forests will be replaced by groves of houses. Trout, deer, quail and turkey can't live in subdivisions," he said. NOTICE Residents of the Town of Washington are advised that the water service will be curtailed for two hours. 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., on Monday. June 4, and are asked to make plans accordingly. Investigators Named The Front Royal Town Council has named Commonwealth's Attorneys George Davis from Rappahannock and Edward F. Greco from Warren County to head an investigation of the high speed chase and shooting incident that occurred April 23. At their May 14 meeting, the Front Royal Council members voted unanimously to request the two Commonwealth’s Attorneys to “fully investigate the circumstances surrounding the April 23, 1979, incident whereby Front Royal town policemen gave chase to a fleeing suspect through Warren and into Rappahannock Counties.” The council's action followed a request from the Rappahannock Supervisors for an investigation and report. On April 23, three Front Royal police cruisers pursued Charles Richard Mahoney of Chester Gap from Front Royal to the town of Washington. After Mahoney crashed his car into a bank on Fodderstack Road, he abandoned the vehicle and a passenger and continued to flee on foot. Witnesses report that Front Royal police fired several shots but Mahoney excaped capture and was arrested later that night after being treated for a gunshot wound at Warren Memorial Hospital. Charges of felonious assault and driving on a revoked license have been filed against Mahoney in Warren County. He's also been charged with reckless driving and failure to stop for a police officer in Front Royal town warrants. In addition. Front Royal policeman Kevin W. Windle has filed charges of attempting to disable or kill against Mahoney in Rappahannock County. Following a preliminary hearing on Friday, May 18, Mahoney was certified to the Grand Jury on the assault charges lodged against him in Rappahannock.

Atkins, daughter of Cecil E. Atkins of Washington and the late Mrs. Atkins, and Alvin D. Grigsby, son of Mrs. Dudley Grigsby of Castleton and the late Mr. Grigsby, were married May 19, 1979, in Thornton's Gap Baptist Church by the Rev. Kirby Shenk. Carol Atkins was pianist.

In addition to painting X’s on the turnks, Wood also marks all trees at their base, just above ground level. That way, the landowner can tell for certain if the loggers have slipped in a couple of extras in their cutting. “When they finish, there should be no stumps without yellow paint,” said Wood. The demands on the Forestry Division for marking for selective timber cutting Kave grown lately, apparently in response to 4ncreased awareness of proper hardwood management. And although Wood has a backlog of customers, he urged any Rappahannock landowner considering timber cutting to first contact him in care of the Virginia Division of Forestry, Madison, Va. 22727, for a free evaluation and recommendation on management practices. Then, if selective cutting is the choice, it’s a call for the tally man. ++++ A bee is never as busy as it seems; it’s just that it can’t buzz any slower. • V.W.

With an 8,000 gallon storage tank, Baldwin said he anticipated no problems with short supplies over the long holiday weekend. He noted, however, that he was off a main highway and depended on local customers for 98 per cent of his business. situated on Koute L\\ just outside of Washington at a convenient stopping place for tourists, Mike Brown’s B and B Gulf station has been operating with a 90 per cent allocation of the gas received in the previous five months. Shortages felt by B and B’s Culpeper distributor have been passed on down to the station, according to chief mechanic Mike Cave. He added that the station had run out of both regular and lead free gasoline several times during the past month and as a result, had cut back on hours slightly. “If we’ve got only a couple hundred gallons of regular left Sunday afternoon, we’ll close early to make sure we have enough for people to get to work on Monday morning,” he said, noting that B and B would try foremost to have sufficient gas for the needs of local customers. Shell station operators Thomas Baldwin at West End Shell in Sperryville and Harvey Gordon at H and J on Route 231 reported that they’re getting the same amount of gas as last year from their suppliers and have no plans to alter hours. “I’m getting all the gas I can sell,” said Gordon.

RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS COOP *(■ R PHONE M7-S555 SPEKRYVILLE tiques, gone is the stuffy mildew smell that usually hangs on to old furniture. Instead, the air at Faith Mountain is rich with the aromas of natural perfumes. Fragrances slip out from colorful bags of sachet, from naturally scented soaps, from jars of dried herbs. Herbs, herb books and herb products are everywhere in the two downstairs display rooms. They cover the tops of pie tables, desks, jelly cupboards and side boards. The smells combine with Cheri’s knack for furniture arrangement to create an atmosphere more like a home than a business. And Faith Mountain is home to the Woodards. The family lives in the back four rooms of the painstakingly restored house while the four front rooms are given over to the business operation. Cheri kind of drifted into her herbs and antiques. As part-owner of Beautiful Day, a natural food store in Maryland, she ran an herb department eight years ago. “My interest started then,” she said. “I had a lot of customers from Rappahannock. They all said come out and visit. I finally did and I loved it.” Cheri moved to Rappahannock with her son Adam and began working with Mrs. Florence Williamson, Woodville’s grand lady of herbs. bhe taught me a lot about growing plants,” Cheri recalled. “We exchanged ideas about cooking with herbs, about their medicinal uses. It was a whole new world.” After spending three years with Mrs. Williamson, Cheri knew she wanted to stay in the herb business on her own. “But it wasn’t feasible economically. I knew I’d have to have a combination business,” she said. Her second love was furniture. Cheri had developed a talent with wood, working at Country Cupboards in Washington doing refinishing and at Fairlawn Antiques in Sperryville on restorations. “It seemed like a natural pairing. So many people who like antiques like old things and herbs are kind of an old interest,” she said. She and Martin were looking for a place of their own to buy, a place the right size for both business and dwelling, when they stumbled on the old house in Sperryville a little over two years ago. “It wasn’t what we had in mind but as soon as I saw it, I knew it was perfect—it was big enough.” Up to that point, they'd only had a name, Faith Mountain Farm, for their future operation but not a shape or form. “Not even a home,” Cheri added. “I’m a big believer in cottage industries,” she said, explaining that working at home was the only option that allowed her to combine the roles of mother, wife and career woman. “Besides, it’s an ecologically sound business concept to live and work in the same building,” she said. The old house evokes echoes from the past that meld nicely with antique furniture and herbs. “The front part was built in 1790,” Cheri reported. “It’s one of the oldest houses in Sperryville, maybe one of the oldest in the county.” During the Civil War, the building was a doctor’s office. “It was used by both North and South, depending on who was in control at the time,” she continued. “Then it was a guest house and then I PARK THEATRE Eva*. 7:0$ - 0:00Sat./Sun. MM. last Times Tonight "Siva Streak" IPG) I fV MAUIS IOHOUUOH ' a tavern—the Dew Drop Inn. I’ve had customers come in who’ve told me they used to work here hauling wood for 13 stoves!” She and Martin bought the old house, surprised and pleased that its reasonable price and owner financing allowed them to swing the deal. Since then, they have worked continuously at refinishing floors, « hanging wall paper and other restoration projects. Martin, who’d graduated with a degree in sociology from Vanderbilt University only to discover that he didn’t want to be a social worker, learned the art of stone masonry and started a separate contracting business. “He helps in the shop but to him, it’s more like a hobby," Cheri said. The Woodard home sits on an acre surrounded by little out buildings. The extra space has allowed Martin to branch out into fertilizers. He sells no ordinary fertilizers—just organic supplies. “We’ve always gardened organically,” said Cheri. “Our whole emphasis is on treating the soil like a living organism. You get healthy plants from healthy soil.” In addition to manurebased fertilizers, Martin also stocks soil conditioners and ecological pesticides—ground flowers, sea week products that carry trace minerals to help plants as well as a taste that bugs don’t like and a biological insect control virus that, when mixed with water and applied to cabbage plants, paralizes the stomach of the cabbage worm. Next to the garage tnat holds his gardening supplies, Martin has built a woodworking shop for Cheri where she can refinish and repair furniture. The back porch of their home has been enclosed in plastic as a green house for young herb and vegetable plants. Some of the herbs are ptoted in little containers for Civil War (Continued from Page 1) p.m. with artillery competition and a marching display by the Army of Northern Virginia. A group of Civil War enthusiasts organized along the lines of Robert E. Lee’s troops, the A.N.V. is commanded by Brigadier General Ripley Robinson.

There, in neatly manicured rows next to strawberries, corn, tomatoes and other standard garden fare, parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, woodruff, chives and a score of others thrive surrounded by sawdust mulch. The total effect is more one of a formal boxwood garden than a mundane vegetable plot. Cheri’s days are full but she enjoys her work. “Dealing in antiques is like being the last of the horse traders. There’s' never a standard price,” she said, adding that she likes bargaining and matching wits with other dealers. “I like customers too,” she continued. “Especially the herb people who’ve got information to exchange with me.” Reactions to her shop also give her personal satisfaction. “Don’t you love this house? It’s just a great house,” is the standard refrain that she hears whenever an old customer brings a new friend to Faith Mountain.* The wallpaper, the curtains, the antiques, the smells—all spark praise. Cheri’s work allows her to include seven-year-old Adam. He came bouncing in from school on Monday to announce that he was also a contributing member in the family business. “I like moving furniture most ’cause it makes me strong," Adam explained. He added that working in the herb garden was another of his favorites, especially when the rest of the plot was also producing. “Sometimes, when I work in the herbs, I go into the strawberry patch and eat myself out,” he admitted with a wide grin. Sometimes, Cheri said, customers come into the shop asking her to point out Faith Mountain on the Rappahannock skyline. She has to explain then that Faith Mountain is the name of a dream. "It’s wherever you want it to be. It’s in your mind,” she answers the inquiries. For Cheri, Martin and Adam, their dream, their Faith Mountain, is a family business in Sperryville. CUSTOMERS PAUSE AT CHERI’S HERB TABLE to browse and buy in Faith Mountain's side yard. After “ohing and “ahing their way through the shop in standard reaction to the lov ingly restored old house, they stopped to chat and pick up advice from Cheri on growing herbs.

THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1979 Support Culture For a rural area, Rappahannock County shines with culture. We have a choral society, dance groups, opera at the old Washington school, poetry readings and slide trips through China and Australia at the library and we have the Community Concert Association. Currently celebrating its tenth anniversary, the Association presents a year of musical entertainment from high brow 4a flute and harp concert) to low brow (the 1920’s jazz sounds of Jelly Roll Morton) with stops in between. Presentations from past years include the Joffrey Ballet, broadway hits like Shenandoah and 1776, Eastern European folk music and dances performed in costume by the Tamburitzans, the Richmond Symphonia, light opera by Jack Trussel and the Texas Boys Choir. The Association is supported by music lovers in Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Fauquier Counties who subscribe to season membership at a cost that breaks down to little more than the price of admission at local movie theaters. Not every concert offered during the year will appeal to every subscriber. Increased support, however, will allow the Association to present a wider variety of programs. The more subscribers the Association has, the more money the group can spend. Concerts cost and the more popular concerts cost the most. In previous years, the Association’s membership has climbed as high as 1,500 but last year it dropped to only 900. Tbe annual membership drive is now trailing into its last days. Anyone who appreciates fine music should contact a Rappahannock representative—Frances Lyne (9878291), Dollie Biddle (675-3449, 9878390) or Lyda Jean Muth (9878287)—for information on subscription rates and programs for the coming year. Without higher membership levels, the Community Concert Association cannot continue to exist for long. It would be a shame to lose this cultural gem through lack of community support and interest. Mental Health Month May is Mental Health Month, a time set aside to focus attention on the fact that there are persons who have trouble coping with everyday living. Few persons want to talk or even think about mental health problems. For centuries mental illness has been a taboo subject, something to be whispered about but never discussed frankly or “outside the family.”. Mental problems are problems of individuals, but those problems cannot be solved unless society as a whole is willing to bring them out into the open and try to find solutions. After all, many mental problems are directly or indirectly related to social pressures. The Rappahannock Mental Health Ginic is one agency that offers a helping hand to persons with mental problems. The staff there is comprised of trained professionals who work with community volunteers to provide assistance for mentally disturbed patients. The first, and perhaps the most important step, toward a cure for mental problems is to get the patient to admit that he or she does have a problem and is in need of help. Little can be done unless the patient wants help. Family and friends also need to work with the patients toward recovery. A person with mental problems needs the ,, support of close ones. Ignoring the problem will not make it go away. If you know of someone who may have a mental problem, show a little understanding, take time to talk and listen and, if necessary, seek professional help. Although family support is important in dealing with mental problems, an untrained eye and ear cannot pick up important clues that point to the source of a particular problem. Having a mental problem is nothing to be ashamed of, no more than is a toothache. And just because a person has had a mental problem is no reason for that person to be shunned from social and employment opportunities. Self-cures rarely are effective for physical illness and they are even less effective in the area of mental illness. Professional help is routine for physical illness. Professionals should be consulted for mental problems, too. June Calendar Friday, June 1, Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection program on energy, 7:30 p.m., courthouse.

Latham Our Rappahannock Heritage Postcript To Travels Through China Looking over what I wrote while in China, I find certain things which call for additional comment. We were on what is termed a “study tour”, providing a survey whereby newcomers can begin to understand some aspects of Chinese society, hence the focus on education, health care, working and living conditions, and some political and social organization. Among these social enterprises were distributed visits to archeological and historical sites, and evening entertainments in all the cities we visited. There was, however, no important discussion of China’s principal concern, agriculture. The commune outside Canton which we visited was seen on the only rainy day we had in China and there we were invited to look at a hospital, a school, peasants homes, and to hear and question leaders about how the commune runs. The study tour itinerary allowed us to see conditions over a 2,000 mile area of the country, observe regional differences, and begin to realize the fundamentally different approach to almost all aspects of life which China exemplifies. This latter was difficult for our group to grasp. For instance, the absence of private property, save at a personal level, and there only of a minimum character, was hard to believe owing to the preconceived ideas in all our minds about what is normal, t Especially when we entered an antique-art shop, a book store or saw a food store, it was hard to understand that the facility was owned and run by the government. We (Diana and Lee Bird of Horseshoe Hollow Farm, Washington, spent almost a month touring the Peoples Republic of China. Mrs. Bird kept a journal and shared her impressions of the land with her Rappahannock neighbors in three letters mailed to the News. She has written a postscript on her travels, expanding on her experiences.) saw a beautifully kept Shanghai-made car awaiting, probably, a foreign worker living at our hotel in Peking. Through our Chinesespeaking tour member, we talked to the driver. He said, “This isn’t my car. It belongs to China.” He was polishing the engine, delighted with the car, and glad to show it to us. Acupuncture treatments such as we saw, as opposed to acupuncture used as an anaesthetic for surgery, seem to be regarded as we do physical therapy. One isn’t cured by one treatment. The patient would return daily or weekly until cured or until it was determined that the treatment wasn’t working. Besides the classroom experience I described as rote learning, in Canton we saw workers being taught at a factory school through TV. Also in Canton, at a Children’s Palace, which is similar to ones in other major cities, we saw exceptionally gifted students being trained in music, vocal and instrumental, calligraphy and other art, science, dancing and gymnastics. Ping pong was also being furiously pursued. For a period of two years at these special places children from 5 to 14 years old are brought from their regular schools for afterschool activities. Closely Observed Since schools being at the day care level (although all babies are not in day care centers) children are subject to close observation from an early age by a number of people. I had wondered how talents are identified and students selected to do what the state wants them to do. After seeing the efforts to train gifted students and feeling that the working adults with whom we came in contact were well educated and suited to their jobs, I decided that the Chinese are probably as able as we are to discover and channel individuals to appropriate work. We were told that entrance exams are given for university acceptance and for all other areas of special education. I think the Children’s Palaces are training places for selection to schools of advanced education in the arts. What comparable provisions, if any, there are for the more intellectual disciplines, we did not learn. At the kindergartens we visited, the equipment provided and, in some cases, the space alloted were minimal. The theory of early childhood education in China is obviously nothing like our own, which focuses on imaginative play, improvisation, and in some schools sophisticated approaches to numbers, reading and other conceptional learning. Instead, we saw Chinese children singing and dancing in a highly structured form. Since our group was primarily legal in orientation, our leader asked to visit the Peking prison and we were (Continued on Page 10) * —Rappahannock N*«w Photo/S. Latham AMONG THE EVENTS DURING FIELD DAY at the elementary school were sack races in which some of the sacks did not hold up too well and feet slipped unencumbered through the holes. The fun however, was interrupted by an electrical storm which halted activities Friday. Letters To The Editor Nuclear Power Best To the editor: Everyone is aware of the Three Mile Island incident which has provided a platform for antinuclear voices recently. We do not deny there are important lessons to be learned from this, and fully support governmental efforts to insure safe and efficient development and licensing of nuclear plants. We are afraid, however, of “overreaction” through regulations written by government bureaucrats who do not consider the overall economic impact of the regulations they so easily set forth. These regulations are reflected in our member’s monthly electric bill. Thirty cents of each dollar our member pays for electricity is the result of regulatory legislation! We, at Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative, are currently proposing a consolidation of our operations with Virginia Electric Cooperative, Bowling Green, in an effort to keep the frequency and size of future rate increases to a minimum. We fear, however, that even our best efforts and intentions will be washed out if the costs we have to pay for wholesale power conunue xo increase because nuclear power development is curtailed or killed by governmental overregulation. America needs nuclear power to meet our requirements for electricity during the remainder of the century, and to cut our dependence on foreign oil which seriously jeopardizes our economic stability. It was the cooperative spirit approximately 40 years ago that filled rural homes and barns with electric service—service denied for years to millions of people. I do not believe that the cooperative spirit is dead! I would urge our consumermembers to join us in writing our U. S. Senators and House members to urge them to reject moves that would kill nuclear power development. 1 believe our local people are as much a part of changing the world for the better as their fathers or grandfathers were when electricity first began to bring progress to this country. EDWIN A. KANN Manager Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative Culpeper Embarrassing Moments To the editor. Our School Board continues to have embarrassing moments of some magnitude and importance to the people of this County. We are losing teachers this year for various reasons but some of those reasons are directly connected to actions of the School Board. Let me mention two of those leaving us: Mrs. Corina Fountain and Mr. Terry Finch. One is a proven teacher and the other very promising. Mrs. Fountain had already signed her contract for this year and could only be released from that contract if the Board so desired. The Chairperson announced, as you duly recorded in your article, that the Board was releasing Mrs. Fountain from her contract “with regrets”. 1 would think they should express their regrets, for Mrs. Fountain is not only one of the finest teachers in our system but in the State as well. It is also well known that Mrs. Fountain could see with the present trend in the way the School Board handles school matters that the future was not promising in Rappahannock. Let me mention one of those matters. The teachers were asking for one very important benefit this past year, a mandatory life insurance policy paid by the school system. The Superintendent included this in his recommended budget but the Board would not agree to it because, it is reported, the teachers would not make them, the School Board, the beneficiary. (And to me it is so ridiculous it is hard to believe, but nevertheless, it seems true). Mrs. Fountain is the president this year of the Rappahannock County Education Association. At the beginning of the year there were high hopes that with such a respected lady, the Board would be receptive to what the Association was saying. But, alas, such was not the case. Not even to her would they listen. The other case is altogether different. Mr. Terry Finch is a fine young teacher and person. I have talked with him on different occasions and am impressed with his character. He is also a fine coach of Cross Country and Track. Mr. Finch was recommended by his principal to be re hired for the coming year but the Board refused to do so. No reason has to be given teachers as to why they are not going to be rehired and so the Board gave him none. It is believed by many that the reason is related to an unfortunate set of circumstances experienced by Mr. Finch that were personally embarrasing to him. Many feel the School Board felt it was too embarrassing to them to keep him on the faculty. But more than that it is reported that other teachers are leaving because of what the Board did to Mr. Finch. Mrs. Fountain’s resignation has come since then. But the Board cannot be held solely accountable for their actions. Mr. Ned Johnson is the Chairman of the Trustee Electoral Board and has been responsible for appointing these people in his usual dictatorial fashion. Judge Snead replaced one of the Trustee Electoral Board members last year and appointed another to replace one who was retiring. I wonder what we can expect when it comes time next month to reappoint or appoint two members of the School Board? More of the same or will the quality of character change? RON WILEY Sperryville Funds Needed To the editor: Your contribution of financial resources to support an essential community service is the purpose of this letter. Those ‘dear citizens and friends of Rappahannock County’ who respond to and support our fund drive and various fund raising projects are volunteers in the finest sense of the word. It requires mutual volunteer effort if the Sperryville community is to be provided continuing Rescue Service. On the one hand, this mutual effort requires trained volunteers to operate the Rescue Squad. A lot of time and effort is volunteered to serve other human beings. On the other hand, it certainly requires many generous volunteers to donate the financial resources required to pay for the rescue equipment and associated expenses. This spring we are moving into the VFW Hall which now has a new roof. Your support enabled us to make this transition. We have a lot of renovation yet to accomplish. Some of our expenses this year will involve making the Hall suitable as our base of operations. Other significant expenses are the insurance for the rescue vehicles and the medical and first aid supplies required for the rescue mission. The emphasis on the V in SVRS is stressed to obtain your volunteer support to our fund drive. In an emergency you would expect to depend on the Rescue Squad for assistance. The Rescue Squad has to depend on each of you for financial support. The volunteer theme of this letter brings us to the bottom line! Please make your checks payable to SVRS and send to Cecil Baldwin, Rt. 1, Box 213, Sperryville, Virginia, 22740. DALE J. METZINGER Secretary, SVRS Sperryville

By NANCY SECRIST VP I Extension Agent If the sun will stay out for a while the strawberries should be even better this week. Miriam Harris of Jordan River Farm, Huntly, sends these comments on strawberries. “My most favorite way to eat strawberries these days other than right off the vine is lightly sugared or honeyed and allowed to stand until the juice starts to run, then poured over some well buttered toast and cream or milk poured on top, in other words, instant shortcake. But if you have the time to make up the real thing, make a rich biscuit dough using good fresh butter or lard or half of each. Roll and cut into individual biscuits or leave as single large biscuit and cut into serving size pieces. Pour strawberries which have been allowed to sit at room temperature and gather juice over biscuits. Other good ways to serve strawberries are to make into a gelatine with whole fresh berries, using the juice as the liquid in the gelatine. There is also strawberries Romanoff, if you want to get fancy and add some cointreau or other good liquer to strawberries and whipped cream. Also strawberry tarts, strawberries Creme Fraiche, a speciality of The Inn at Little Washington, and don’t forget you can freeze them, preserve them or jam them.” Mary Miller Wood sends in this recipe for Angel Biscuits which would be delicious as a shortcake biscuit- as well as a morning biscuit. Angel Biscuit Mary Miller Wood Washington, Va. 4 cups flour V* cup sugar 2 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon soda 1 teaspoon salt V* cup Crisco 1 yeast cake 2 tablespoons warm water 1 teaspoon sugar 2 cups buttermilk Sift together dry ingredients. Blend in Crisco. Dissolve yeast cake and teaspoon sugar in warm water. Let stand 5 minutes. Add buttermilk and yeast mixture. Mix to a smooth dough, adding a little more flour if necessary. Roll and cut to desired thickness. May be used at once or kept covered in refrigerator. Brush with melted margarine and bake at 450 degrees. CORRECTION: The last two sentences in last week's Strawberry Pie recipe should read: “Place remaining whole berries in pie shell and pour cooked mixture over the berries. Chill and top with whipped cream or ice cream.” V Place your ad for as little as $6.00. Horse&Tack Traders’Corner Appears each week in the following papers Loudoun Times-Mirror Leesburg, Va.

Postcript To Travels Through China (Continued from Page 4) given permission to spend a morning there. This was an old prison, built in the 1920’s. It housed 1,900 prisoners, men and women. We were told this is the only prison in Peking, a city of four million people, and that only eight per cent of the former prisoners returned to crime after release. The prison authorities ran two factories and a machine shop. Another factory employing women was shut down for renovations. One factory made socks of all sizes and colors; the other made plastic sandals. The machine shop kept the factory facilities in repair and made the molds for the plastic shoes—again, all sizes and colors. We were shown through these facilities and others including a hospital and clinic, and the kitchen where lunch was being prepared. We were briefed on the prisoners and their regimen of rehabilitation, permitted to ask any questions we wanted and we were allowed to take photographs, although before we entered the prison someone told us that we wouldn’t be able to do so. Political Indoctrination While we were at the prison, the women, who seemed to number about 120, were being read to, presumably by one of themselves, and the material was probably political indoctrination. We saw them sitting beside one another in cells, divided into groups of 15. The cells are set up to accommodate about nine people who sleep on raised grass-mat covered platforms which run from wall to wall on each side of the cell entrance. At the head of each sleeping space, the bedding and washing equipment of each prisoner was stored. I did not feel that I learned much about the prisoners —what they had done to be imprisoned. They were discussed in statistical terms, not as cases. I was told that stealing especially is a problem among women. I suspected that a number of the men were there for Gang of Four activities. They were well dressed, clean, in good health, and the employed men were very busy. I expect this prison compares favorably with U.S. prisons—Lorton, for instance. But no prison is a happy place to visit and I felt sorry for the prisoners. We were told the average term is 15 years, but this is a meaningless statistic, as they and I realized, because some are there for life, others for only a few years. Perhaps they meant to say that the usual sentence lasts 15 years. We were told that one’s term is affected by the degree to which one' seems to reform. Later, I was told of a woman prisoner who had been released after 15 years even though her “thoughts” had not been reformed. As a released, unreconstructed prisoner, her condition was difficult since she was denied normal privileges. One of our group met her in one of our hotels where a relative was staying, trying to obtain permission for her to emigrate. ▼v c were given me mipression that every effort is made to keep people out of prison, to keep them in their community and work place, and to lay on offenders’ friends and neighbors the job of supervision and discipline. Behavior that might lead to law suits in the U.S. is handled in other ways in China. The fact that there is little private property creates a society where problems involving disputes arising from ownership are few. The attempt in China is to persaude the offender to confess and to get such a person to repent and reform. While this method is fraught with dangers for the individual and subject to terrible abuse, it has merit. We were introduced to concepts, the application of which permit the society to solve or improve problems by radically different means from our own. Comparison Impossible There is really no way to compare crime in China to that in the U.S., nor can we compare legal procedures. It is difficult for us not to think in legal terms.

However, included under that concept was slavery, and voting and other rights were denied women and others for many years. Still, we had the words of our constitution to support attempts to gain civil rights and liberties for all the people. In China many of our civil rights have been included in their new constitution adopted in 1978, including equal rights for women and the right of free speech and assembly. One studying the Chinese legal system would have to take into account the idea of an enemy of the people or the state, just as we have the idea of treason. It appears that crimes against the people, political drimes, are less well defined than we would like to see them in our country, and this opens the possibility for gross injustice by the state against individuals. We heard that the excesses of the Gang of Four has impressed many Chinese with the need for civil liberties protections. It will be interesting to see whether or not a socialist dictatorship can devise them. Gang Of Four Many references were made to Gang of Four activities, which I am afraid, as a heedless foreigner, I discounted as political propaganda that didn’t concern me. After more thought and learning a little more, I believe it is important to try to understand its meaning for the Chinese because it affects what they will be doing in the future and what they are trying to do now. The Gang of Four is a consequence of the of the Cultural Revolution, which has not yet been officially repudiated. My understanding of the Cultural Revolution is that it began late in 1965 as a reaction on the part of some authorities, chief among whom were Mao Tse-tung and his wife, to what they saw as an increasingly bureaucratic government, one dominated by persons who had gained power at the time the Peoples Republic of China was set up, and who were unwilling to give up that power to younger people; and a developing situation where city dwellers were nourishing elite groups which were losing touch with the needs and welfare of the peasants, 80 percent of the people. Yet it was the peasants as much as the workers in the cities who had made the revolution successful and it was and is the peasants who are subject to the most difficult living conditions, drab lives and unrelieved work. China’s first need is food and it is the peasants who produce it. The political process which Mao and others undertook to restructure the power and decision-making apparatus got out of hand—as it was J bound to do, given the I methods employed—and many innocent people were put out of their jobs, jailed (some for 9 and 10 years) and ] sometimes killed. A kind of civil war ensued which ’ allowed unscrupulous people to achieve high party and administrative positions and to pursue policies seemingly disadvantageous to society in the name of a higher order of socialism. After Mao’s death in 1976, these people were resisted by others who disagreed, and the Gang of Four was identified, removed from office and jailed. Obviously there were more than four, but in a way characteristic of the Chinese, the movement to get rid of their policies and political apparatus was symbolized with that appellation, and today efforts to re-design the government and its operations are spoken of as eliminating the influences of the Gang of Four. The movement is expressed positively as pursuing the Four Modernizations— agriculture, industry, science and technology, and defense. Education Paramount At the heart of the current effort is the question of education because a modern, i.e.. Western industrial, approach to society requires the use of skills, techniques, basic resources and facilities not currently available in China. Certain national goals for over-all production were decided upon. To carry out these aims, vast changes are necessary, yet just how they are to be achieved is not clear to anyone in China, it seems, and there must be a great deal of pulling and hauling going on at the top behind closed doors. At this time no one can possibly predict what the results will be, but in terms of major changes, if one examines what the Chinese have to start with, it is unlikely that what the West has been led to expect in the way of trade and moneymaking schemes will develop. I would not expect a significant redesign of the Chinese economy in the next 25 years. There simply isn’t the money or the trained personnel to accomplish it. At the same time, it is unlikely that a people who set about to get foreigners off their backs and out of their country are going to reintroduce themselves to a MASSIES CORNER—Hilltop homesite, breathtaking VIEWS!

This process was tolerated in the past when aid from the USSR was sought. Owing to disagreements about just what should be done and how, the Soviets abandoned their projects in China and abruptly left, to the dismay of the Chinese. People who remember that experience are probably counseling caution today, for the Japanese, Euopeans and Americans, from whom China is seeking help now, are just as concerned as were the Russians to see that projects they will be financing are undertaken and controlled according to the methods which have proved successful for them elsewhere. An underlying assumption is that instant progress can be imported, to China’s benefit and the foreigners’ profit. Transforming the character of Chinese society and economics to the extent that it has been done already is an unparalleled achievement: food, shelter, clothing, employment, education and health care have been effectively provided in China to a quarter of the human race. Birth control programs seem to be working in most areas. But to move from war, economic chaos, starvation, illiteracy, epidemics and social disintegration to 20th century modernity is not a possibility for so large a segment of humanity within a period of 50 years.
