Produce Increases At Farmers Market On Tuesday, June 12, the Rappahannock Farmers Market will be one month old. As it moves into its second month of selling, the increasingly warm weather means that new fresh produce is available. Seasonal crops such as peas, spinach, mustard greens, chives, dill, parsley, sage and lettuce in particular will be appearing in quantity at the Market. Strawberries are also coming into season, but there is more demand for these than anything else. Since the Market is open on Friday afternoon, and stays open all day Saturday, it is assumed that supplies of produce will remain uniform throughout both days. This, however, is not the case. Due to heavy demand on Friday, what appears on Saturday is, more often than not, a severely depleted stock. Customers are thus advised that by far the best time to come to the Market is on Friday afternoon. This is the time when they will have the best chance of finding what they came for. In some cases, the warm weather will alter this. Vendors appearing on Saturday only will have a greater amount of goods to offer than previously, and this will help to offset the problem of diminished stock on Saturdays. There has been no shortage of quality cakes, pies, rolls, muffins, buns and other baked products. In fact, many regular vendors have been increasing the amounts of saleable items which they bring to the market. In celebration of the Market’s one month birthday, the Board will meet at the Court house at 7:30 p.m. to review where they stand, where they are heading, and what they plan to do in the future. Anyone with complaints or suggestions for improvement is welcome to attend. Named Postmaster Of The Year Sperryville Postmaster Aline B. Johnson has been named Virginia Postmaster of the year for 1979. She was selected from 900 Postmasters across the state. The award was conferred May 21 at the 70th annual convention of the National League of Postmasters, Virginia Branch, held in Williamsburg. Carl Riggs, vice president of the League, made the presentation. The award cites Mrs. Johnson for outstanding service in her Post Office, her community and in the National League of Postmasters. She is chairman of the Rappahannock Vocational Advisory Committee, Captain for the Piedmont District Heart Campaign, Board member of the Rappahannock County Welfare Department, active member and deacon in Reynolds Memorial Baptist Church. She is very active in many other volunteer groups. Besides her normal Post Office duties, she has started five stamp clubs in the local elementary school. Mrs. Johnson was appointed Postmaster at Sperryville in 1974. Earlier this year she received three other awards for outstanding service. When receiving the award, Mrs. Johnson remarked, “Indeed, my cup runneth over, but 1 think you have made a slight mistake. It should read Carson and Aline, I could not have done the work without my betterhalf’s h$lp and understanding. It is a privilege to be a Postmaster in this, the greatest country on earth and a pleasure to be one in Virginia, the most beautiful state in the country.” —Rappahannock New* Photo/S.

A Life Of Good Works By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Rev. Gale Titchenell has what he calls a “brag room” upstairs in the Woodville Baptist Church parsonage and if anyone has earned the right to be proud of a long list of accomplishments, it’s this county parson. With only a sixth grade education, Titchenell began his career as a farm laborer earning $15 a month. Through perseverance and hard work, he now holds two bachelor degrees and two masters degrees. He has climbed from the orphanage to the ministry, giving of himself, his time and his energy to others at every turn along the way. Like an old Dickens tale, Titchenell’s story begins in an orphanage, an Indianapolis institution he entered when his mother died in 1921. Looking back in conversation at his Woodville home, he recalled no horror stories of mistreatment or neglect. Instead, he related only the beginning of his REV. B. GALE TITCHENELL of Woodville with grandsons, Jeff and Chris. 4 seventy-year love affair with learning. “I used to clean up the board room at the orphanage. It was a room with walls lined with books,” he remembered. “I asked the housekeeper if I could borrow some and she said yes, if I was very careful. I picked out Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs.” That was the start. To a ten-year-old, Burroughs offered words that had to be attacked with Webster’s Dictionary but the challenge only whetted Titchenell’s appetite. He gobbled books hungrily, building vocabulary and a reading habit that would later boost him into college without the usual prerequisite of a high school diploma. Debt To Leaders In those early years at the home for the homeless, Titchenell also incurred an obligation to scouting that he would feel strongly for the rest of his life. The year after he entered the orphanage a Boy Scout Troop was organized. “We had two leaders who gave generously of their time. They would alternate donating their week of summer vacation to take us to camp,” Titchenell said. “I’m sure their wives didn’t always appreciate it but it meant a great deal to the boys in the orphanage.” Like falling dominos, the generosity displayed by the two Scout leaders from Titchenell’s past has sent echoes into the present. From his first involvement, Titchenell has continued to be active in Scouting—first as a scout, then as leader. His work has not gone unappreciated. “Tl^e Boy Scouts have given me every honor they can give me,” he acknowledged, proudly displaying medals for the prestigious Silver Beaver and Good Shepherd awards. Titchenell’s commitment to scouting has gone hand-inhand with his commitment to the ministry. At each of his parish assignments, he’s plunged into organization, always leaving behind more active scouting units than he found when he came. In Rappahannock, there were just two scouting groups when the Titchenells arrived in 1960. Now, through his efforts and the efforts of other dedicated men and women, the county boasts five Boy Scout troops and two Cub Packs. And for Gale Titchenell, his obligation to repay the leaders of the orphanage troop continues. In his eyes, the years that he has given to Scouts haven’t yet balanced the scales for those precious weeks at summer camp. Hired Hand Titchenell left the orphanage in 1925, just 14 years old, and went to work for an Indiana farmer. “I was paid $15 a month and room and board,” he recalled. His memories of life then aren’t pleasant. Days were full after getting up at 4 a.m. to milk 15 head of cattle. He was a hired hand, left behind to make do with a frozen fish for Christmas dinner while the family went off to Chicago for the holidays. Shucking corn when the temperature dropped to 20 degrees below zero convinced Titchenell that he didn’t want to be a farmer. He left for a job as a saw maker’s apprentice in Indianapolis. Home was a boarding house room and two beds shared with three other men. One dark night, Titchenell recalled, he awoke to a hand over his mouth and a whispered warnin'g from the police to get out of bed quickly and quietly. Two of the other men sharing the room were aroused in the same manner. The police then crept up on the fourth who was still sleeping and (Continued on Page 4) Eight New Teachers Approved At a special meeting held Thursday, May 31, the Rappahannock School Board approved contracts for eight new teachers, reducing the number of vacancies for the 1979-80 year to 11. According to superintendent William Bloomer, new personnel hired are: —Michael Connifey, first year graduate of the University of Virginia, for Title I primary reading lab; —Lynn Hammond, VPI graduate with Masters Degree and three years teaching experience, for primary grades, kindergarten through third; —Candice Lynn McDaniel, Longwood College graduate with two years teaching experience, for primary grades; —Susan Wittle, first year graduate from Virignia Commonwealth University, for primary grades; —Robin Dexter, first year graduate of Bridgewater College, for upper elementary, grades four through seven; —Scarlett Ann Dywe, graduate of Longwood College with five month teaching experience, for upper elementary grades; v —Sherry Chrisman, first year graduate from James Madison University, for high school busines education; —William Scott, graduate of Appalachian State University currently completing a Masters Degree at James Madison University, for high school guidance counselor and social studies teacher. In addition, Bloomer reported, the board voted unanimously to release fourth grade teacher Sheila Freeman from her contract because of family relocation. The approval of additional personnel leaves vacant nine existing positions and two new positions included in the 1979-80 school budget. How To Quit Smoking The Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic will offer a program beginning Wednesday, June 13, 1979 at 7 p.m. for persons who wish to quit smoking. The meetings will be held at the Clinic office in the Clopton House in Washington. This first meeting will be to discuss methods for smoking cessation and set regular meeting dates and times.

English and combination EMR-LD at the high school. “I hope to fill three or four positions this week and if luck is with me, to nail down some more by the June 12 school board meeting,” said Bloomer. He added that he hoped to have teachers for all openings up for contract approval at the June meeting. —Rappahannock News Photo/D. Hutchinson DEPUTY STEVE CROSSMAN with his marksmanship award from competition at the Central Shenandoah Criminal Justice Training Center at Waynesboro. Crossman Wins MarlTsman Award By PHILIPPA KIRBY Rappahannock New** Special ^ ritcr Steve Crossman, a Deputy Sheriff in Rappahannock County, has recently completed a seven-week training program at the Central Shenandoah Criminal Justice Training Centre. But Crossman did not just successfully graduate from the course; he also emerged with an award for the Champion Marksman. Said Crossman about the training: “It was seven weeks of telling us what we can do, and what we can't do...I feel it’s going to be a tremendous help in my field.” The course centered around the study of constitutional law. The students were also instructed in collecting evidence, accident reporting, and traffic laws. Crossman says that basically, it was an attempt to cram twenty-two weeks of training into seven weeks. The course itself was rigorous. Classes were held from eight in the morning until five in the afternoon, with an hour break for lunch. Crossman, who had not been to school for ten years, found it a challenge to accustom himself again to academic life. He said that he learned a great deal, since this was an entirely new field to him. and he is confident that his future performance in his job will benefit directly from this training program. One thing in particular which the Training Center emphasized was shooting. Said Crossman, "They taught us how to shoot properly." In winning the award of Champion Marksman, Crossman certainly is evidence of this instruction. The competition took place over four days. Each student shot a thousand rounds each and out of two groups of trainees, five were chosen who had shot 90 per cent out of a hundred. Out of these. Crossman emerged the eventual winner. In summarizing his experience in the seven-week program. Crossman said that more than anything else, he became familiar with a large area of knowledge about which he knew nothing before. In conclusion he stated, “I hope to put everything I learned into effect. I want to do the best job I can for the county." —Rapfukmock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson STRAWBERRY LOVERS were out in force at Miriam Harris’ pick-your-own patch this week, stocking up on gallons of berries.

Whereas ten years ago, we thought nothing of practically surviving on fast, convenience foods, many of us are now much more aware of what chemicals we put into our bodies. There is a growing general interest in natural foods, to the extent that Hasse can successfully operate a small, specialist store in a small Virginia town. Hasse has only one inflexible rule about the food that she sells: she will not have anything in the shop that contains either preservatives or sugar. Bearing this stipulation in mind, she has filled the store with a large variety of things covering almost all needs. There is a wide selection of grains, spices and teas, and many kinds of cheeses and yogurts. There is also a large freezer containing a small j selection of fast foods requested by some of the customers, and natural ice cream. She also sells snacks j that are based in natural foods. At the back of the store, there are cotton clothes—some made in India, and some made by Hasse’s mother in Florida. Hasse and her husband Bob moved to Rappahannock County from Florida. When she began her natural foods store, Hasse was in a building with five other operating concerns, and any profit which she made was immediately put back into the store to buy more stock. She also had an infant son to handle, though she says, “It’s easy to have infants and run the store...I think I was really lucky to be able to run the store with children." Now, Hasse has her own building, and has been able to expand. Most of her supplies come from Maryland, though once a week, a large truck stops in front of this small shop and unloads a number of items from Florida. The supplies are made up of suggestions from her customers, and ideas from the trade magazines. By far the largest proportion of her customers are in the food co-op which the store offers. Members have a 20 per cent discount, which considerably cuts ASCS News By TOM TAY LOR Now that crop planting season is here, I want to remind all farmers to report their planted acreage of corn, grain sorghum and soybeans as soon as possible after completion of all planting for 1979. This report is extremely important as it is mandatory for wheat and feed grain program participants; and for those who do not continue in the set-aside program, it is valuable to your farm history records. Farmers who do not report will receive a zero planted acreage for 1979 and will not receive a yield for their crops in 1980. June 30th is the final date for reporting planted acreage of corn and for designating set-aside acreage. For GRADS and DADS Wide selection of 14 kt.

She says hat the co-op keeps the flow >f business good; what the .tore really needs is more volume in customers. But she s confident that she will be able to make the shop a success, to the point where she would be able to expand and include a juice counter, and perhaps even a lunch counter. Many people think that it is expensive to eat only natural foods. “On the contrary,” says Hasse, ' “because you are eating grains and beans, your diet can work out to be substantially cheaper. Hasse does admit, however, that this kind of cooking is not fast. It cannot compete with packaged, frozen foods on nn to . r^T-r x-r.t t , —Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson ONE OF WASHINGTON S FAVORITE LUNCH TIME HANGOUTS is the picnic table in the side yard of Nature s Foods.

Everyone stocked up on goodies from the store before going out to enjoy the early summer sunshine. the convenience level, though it easily outstrips it on a nutritional level. At the same time, Hasse says that once you have Jearned how to master cooking with natural foods, it is easy to do. It is clear, as Hasse says, that “a lot of people are becoming more aware of what they are eating.” And “Nature’s Foods” is, among other things, an attempt to make even more people realize exactly what they are consuming.

Mary went into semi-retirement, closing her Capitol Hill operation but continuing to collect prints and photographs. From a grain storeroom built in 1899 to a setting for works of art is a major transformation. Wreckers pulled the corn crib from side to side before it was finally sitting without a tilt. The Schumakers cleaned out residue accumulated from three-quarters of a century of corn storage, added windows, and panels, painted walls and stained floors. Over the last couple of weeks, Mary has dashed from house to corn crib carrying the photographs, silk screen prints, drawings and paintings that will be displayed for sale at the gallery opening this Saturday and Sunday.

True, A REALTOR can suggest a selling price for your home if you intend to list it with his office. This is common practice and part of the value of selling through a REALTOR. But this should not be construed as an official appraisal. An appraisal is the valuation of your property by a qualified Appraiser for a fee. This fee is based solely on the amount of work involved - not the market value of the property. His detailed written instrument will carry its full weight as documentation if used in any official capacity such as for tax or legal problems. An Appraiser will provide you with a dated document which will cover in detail all the elements which go into the valuation such as: prices of comparable properties that have sold, value of location, construction, age and depreciation of the property, zoning, restrictions and reproduction cost. If it is income property he will capitalize the present and future income potential. Qualified Real Estate Appraisers will probably be members of the American Institute of Appraisers. .

For example, you may wish to have your carpet professionally dyed in a new and darker color. This is usually relatively inexpensive and worthwhile if the carpet is in passable condition. 1 ou could dye a small rug yourself, or decorate it, using dye with a paint brush. Gluing on an attractive fringe is a good way to enlarge an did rug that would have otherwise been too small. Another thing to try might be to make your own carpet. Get free or inexpensive scraps or samples from your carpet dealer and sew or glue together to make attractive patchwork rugs. Add a decorative design on top or in between larger pieces with smaller scraps. If this is your "season" of rejuvenation, then EARLY’S CARPETS, Route 211 Amissville. 3470400. and 502 IN. Main St..

THURSDAY, JUNE 7,1979 from both barrels Corruption Probe Takes New Twist By GEORGE BOWLES Rappahannock INewa Special Writer The on-going saga of alleged corruption in the state’s Division of Purchases and Supply took a new twist last week, ana inis one appeared to be a mild refubb to the Dalton Administration’s handling of that highly complex case. ■Y'r/ The Purchases and BOWLES Supply Appeal Board reversed an order issued last month by division director Philip R. Brooks suspending the InterRoyal Corporation from doing business with the state. The order came after a Norfolk Ledger-Star newspaper article charged that the New York based furniture manufacturing firm paid kick-backs to a former division director in order to secure state sales contracts. According to the article, the money allegedly was paid to G. Lloyd Nunnally through a Swiss bank account. Nunnally headed the division from 1958 through 1970 and more recently served as a member of the Appeal Board. Both Nunnally and InterRoyal vehemently denied the charge. The furniture company’s suspension had been recommended to Brooks by Assistant Attorney General Robert P. Kyle who heads an unusual management surveillance team, appointed by the governor, which is overseeing the operations of the division. The team was appointed after the Division of Purchases and Supply was hit with an avalanche of charges ranging from gross mismanagement to criminal fraud. Although everyone in the Administration denies it, Kyle and his team are, in effect, running the division pending the outcome of an imposing variety of investigations which are now in progress. These are being conducted by the Attorney General’s office, the state police and a special Richmond grand jury. They involve, according to published reports, at least a half-dozen product areas. Because of their complexity it will be late in the year before the first definitive reports of these investigations are released. Meanwhile, Kyle and his team, working through official division channels, have been taking the steps they deem necessary to clean up the division and bring its operations into line with both the law and ethical business practices. In the process they have fired several officials and suspended a couple of companies from doing business with the state. One of these companies was InterRoyal. At first glance one is tempted to view the action of the Appeal Board in reversing InterRoyal’s suspension as a case of the business community taking care of its own. The fivemember Appeal Board is made up of respected members of the Connonwealth’s business community. Also, as noted, Nunnally, the alleged recipient of InterRoyal’s largesse, was once a member of that Board. This, indeed, might be the case. But on the other hand it would appear that Kyle hung his suspension recommendation on a rather slender reed. With all due respect to my colleagues in the press, newspaper stories standing alone are seldom, if ever, sufficient authority for farreaching official actions such as this. The Ledger-Mar and its distinguished reporter, Dave Chandler, have performed an important service by stirring the Administration to action concerning the long-rumored hanky-panky in the Division. In doing so, they have done what the responsible press is supposed to do. They have, in the tradition of the Washington Post’s handling of the Watergate Affair, focused on a problem of vital public concern and brought it forcibly to official attention. But what they have provided are leads for official exploration; not evidence to support official action. It is up to the authorities to take it from there. Thus, at least at this juncture, it appears that the Appeal Board’s reversal of the InterRoyal suspension was justified. But there is a murky cloud of smoke hanging over the Division of Purchases and Supply. What remains now to be seen is whether or not the old wag about “where there is smoke there is fire” holds true in this case. Presumably the array of investigations now in progress will make that determination. In the meantime, the governor’s management team has gotten the message to build its own cases on firmer ground.

Gale Titchenell (Continued from Page 1) surprised him with an arrest after retrieving a loaded gun from underneath the bed. Titchenell and his two roommates found that they had been sharing their humble quarters with a wanted criminal. From his saw maker’s apprenticeship, Titchenell entered the Marine Corps, serving from 1928-1932 and then joining the Civilian Conservation Corps until 1934. He went back into the Marines from 1934 to 1936 when he was released on a disability. School Teacher After his cure, he was accepted as minister to the Woodville Baptist Church and moved to Rappahannock, expecting to stay just two years. That was 19 years ago. To supplement his minister’s salary, he sought a job teaching in Rappahannock schools. Maurice O’Bannon then a member of the Rappahannock School Board went to see the superintendent on Titchenell’s behalf only to find that a good word wasn’t required. When Titchenell had served as pastor in Warren County, he’d taught at the Flint Hill School. The superintendent remembered him: “Tell him there’s a school waiting for him,” he informed O’Bannon. For 18 years—all spent in the same room—he taught history and government to RCHS students. Until his retirement last year, Titchenell shared co-honors with Mrs. Jean Moffett for tenure at the high school with the two being the only school Letters To The Editor Embarrassing Sights To the editor: Embarrassing moments has been the subject recently of letters, seemingly directed to the School Board; mainly of their decision not to rehire teachers with criminal records, some in our adjoining county. However, this the subject I want to refer you to, so I’m changing the title to “Embarrassing Sights”. Recently I was invited by some teachers and students to visit Rappahannock County High School, the same school (but not same place) where my husband and I retired from five years ago; he having been the only custodian there since the opening fourteen years prior and I was employed there for six years. Yes to my regret it is not the same place where we tried, worked hard, spending long hours, not knowing the meaning of a time clock and even sometimes missing our meals in order that the students would have a decent place to earn an education. When the grounds were covered with beautiful white snow, neither were we contented with just a “pig path” to the entrances. One teacher remarked to me, “if your husband would see the school now, he would have a heart attack.” How can the students appreciate and respect a school, where they spend six or seven hours a day in conditions like I witnessed. The floors were disgraceful, only one water fountain working in the whole school, broken windows and doors, knee high grass in places on the lawn, only to name a few things. Seeing what I did, I had no desire to enter the rest rooms or shower rooms, but I’m sure they are eye sores too. Food was left lying all over the cafeteria floor after lunch and the afternoon classes just treaded through it. Answer this please, Why? Oh Why? does the janitor have to work in the cafeteria handling food when the school has four paid workers to do the job? Well, I certainly did go for a visit but it turned out to be an inspection tour. We have fond memories of the principal and teachers with whom we worked and in our collections are many pictures of RCHS in her better days. As a taxpayer it’s an unanswered question, ‘‘Where is our money going”? Our school board sure has its hands full and lets give them the credit due them, but to the Board I make this suggestion; knowing we do need more rooms there please shop around and see if you can find some new kind of Push Button-Clean Yourself Type Rooms one with nonbreakable windows and everlasting fountains. Congratulations, Seniors, you deserve extra credit for having earned your diploma in spite of conditions you tramped through. Concerned Taxpayer, MRS. ALVIN L. ATKINS Sperryville Thank You To the editor: On behalf of the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society, I wish to express deep appreciation for the generosity of the citizens of Rappahannock County, who opened their hearts and purses in answet to the Cancer Crusade. Our volunteers worked long and hard to make this drive a success, and special thanks must go to them and their captains; Joyce Andrews, Pauline Bruce, Barbara Dennis, Gertie Poling, Sally Thornhill, and to the cocaptains: Janne Eastham, Ruby Green, Frances Lyne, Cotton Miller and Mary Schumaker. Without these willing and able people we could not possibly have succeeded. Once again—thank you all. DOROTHY MANK Chairman Rappahannock County American Cancer Society Coop Praised To the editor: I think it is time someone publicly thanked the directors of the Rappahannock Farmers Cooperative for doing such an attractive job of remodeling at their new location. What had been an eyesore on the road from Washington to Sperryville is now a real addition to our Rappahannock Heritage. Thanks! SHARON KILPATRICK Woodville personnel employed at RCHS since its opening. The rapport Titchenell maintained with his students is illustrated by a plaque that hangs in his “brag room.” Presented to him by his charges, it reads “If you can’t baffle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull.” But Titchenell’s courses were more than games and camraderie. By his own admission, he took his classes seriously and expected his students to do likewise. He was famous (or infamous, depending on point of view) for the daily question he assigned. In 1977, after Rappahannock’s baseball Panthers had advanced to the state finals, several senior team members came into government fully expecting to be let off from the daily question as a reward and celebration for their achievement. “I slapped a baseball bat down on the desk and announced ‘You polecats can still expect the daily question,’ ” Titchenell recalled. His reference to polecats was picked up by the annual staff and immortalized in the yearbook for 1977. High School Grad At Last Upon his retirement from teaching last year, Titchenell was honored at graduation exercises with a diploma from BCHS. “The kids always wanted to know how I made the short cut,” he joked. Now Titchenell is considering a second retirement—this time from the ministry. “It’s time for me to step down, I think, and make way for some young people to take over,” he explained. But the step presents a difficult decision for the family. Retirement will mean moving away out of the home where the Titchenells have lived happily for 19 years, where four Titchenell children have grown up. It may also mean leaving Rappahannock County since Gale and Blondina haven’t been able to find a house that they can afford on his pensions—even with the hefty down payment that the couple has managed to save after years of thriftiness. “I’d like to stay in Rappahannock but I don’t think we’ll be able to afford it,” said Titchenell, adding that he and Blondina have been looking at properties for several months. As a second choice, the Titchenells are considering a move to a vacation development on the other side of Winchester. The area is close to a college—an important factor for someone as concerned with education as Titchenell. He plans, even at this stage in life, to continue studying. “I like the discipline of it,” he explained. But there are colleges near enough to Rappahannock for Rev. Titchenell. He has given so much and still has so much more to give—it would be a shame to lose him now. College Bound After moving to Baltimore, Maryland, he got a job with Social Security. At the request of his pastor, Titchenell gave a talk to the church youth group. “Afterwards, he asked me if I’d ever thought about studying for the ministry,” Titchenell recalled. At 27, with only a sixth grade education, Titchenell protested that he’d be ip his 40’s before he could be ordained and besides, he already had a good job. The pastor didn’t give up easily. He gave Titchenell an oral comprehensive exam on general knowledge and, impressed with the results, extracted a promise from the young man that he would go back to school. He told Titchenell that he knew of a college in Kentucky that would admit him on the pastor’s recommendation. “You can do college work,” Titchenell remembers his mentor insisting. A few months later, Titchenell was enrolled in Georgetown College, on probation for the first semester until he proved his abilities with four “C’s” and a “B”. and after that, he never stopped. Titchenell earned bachelor (Continued on Page 10) Barnes New President Of PEC At the Annual Meeting of the Piedmont Environmental Council on June 2, B.

By NANCY SECRIST 'PI Extension Agent Fresh mint is one of the most delightful herbs available now. Its uses range from using fresh in beverages, to preserving as jelly, to drying for use next winter. When preparing any dish with mint, save some sprigs to use as a garnish. MINTED PUNCH IVj cups packed mint leaves and stems 2 cups water 2 (12 ounce) cans frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed and undiluted. 3 (33.8 ounce) bottles ginger ale, chilled. Strawberries Sprigs of mint. Bruise mint leaves, and place in a medium saucepan. Cover mint with 2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and let stand about 15 minutes; Strain. Combine mint liquid, lemonade, and ginger ale in a large bowl. Serve in tall glasses; garnish each with strawberries and a sprig of mint. Yield: 1 gallon. Linda Owings suggests mint jelly as a refreshing accompaniment with lamb. MINT JELLY Linda O wings Sperryville, Va. Crush l'/i cups packed fresh mint leaves. Add 3% cups water, bring to boil. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 10 minutes. Strain and measure 3 cups of mint infusion (liquid from mixture of leaves and water). Add a few drops of green food coloring. Add one package of Sure-Jell to mint infusion in large pan. Bring to hard boil. Add 4 cups sugar, and return to full rolling boil. Cook one minute. Remove from heat, skim off foam and pour into hot sterilized jelly glasses, and seal. Putting Food By, an excellent book on preserving food, describes how to dry mint. To dry Mint or any aromatic Herb, cut on a sunny morning after the dew has dried, and choose plants that have only just started to bloom; cut them with plenty of stem, then strip off tougher leaves growing lower than 6 inches on the stalk, and remove blossom heads. Hold in small bunches by the stems and swish the leaves through cold water to remove any dust, or soil thrown up from a rain. Shake off the water and lay on absorbent toweling to let all surface moisture evaporate. Bag-Drying - Collect 6 to 12 stems loosely together and over the bunched leaves put a brown paper bag large enough so the herbs will not touch the sides. Tie the mouth of the bag loosely around the stems 2 inches from their ends, and hang the whole business high up in a warm, dry, airy room. When the leaves have become brittle, knock them from the stems and package them in air-tight containers and store away from light. You can pulverize the leaves by rubbing them between your hands, then store. Tray - Drying. Prepare as for drying in bags. Cut off the handle-stems, spread the leafed stalks one layer deep on drying trays. Put the trays in a warm dark room that is extra well ventilated (if you use a fan, don’t aim it on the trays - the herbs could blow around - instead, “bounce” the forced draft off a wall, so it will be gentler). Turn the herbs several times to ensure even drying, Test dry. Remove from stems, and package as above. Never dry at temperatures above 100 degree F. (higher, and they lose the oils we value for flavor.) Blackwell At Conference Ruth Blackwell, District Court Clerk for Rappahannock County, attended the District Court Clerk’s Conference in Blacksburg on June 1 and 2. Miss Blackwell sat in on a review of recent legislation conducted by deputy attorney general James E. Kulp and took part in panel discussions and workshop on lawyer-clerk relationships. She also attended a session on expungement of juvenile records. Judge Rayner V. Snead, Circuit Court Judge for Rappahannock, chaired a panel composed of legislators and other judges on district court problems. Elizabeth Streagle of Amissville, Clerk of Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court in Fauquier County, also attended the conference. Titchenell (Continued from Page 4) degrees from Crozer Theological Seminary and Georgetown College, then went on to receive a Masters Of Divinity from Crozer and a Masters in Education from Madison College. During all of his assignments in the ministry, Titchenell has taken advantage of nearby universities to further his education. He’s taken courses at West Virginia University, Temple University, University of Virginia, Denver University and the University of Wisconsin. He was also selected to attend the Freedoms Foundation School at Valley Forge in 1974 for a four-weeks course on communism. Baptist Ministry After his ordination as a Baptist minister, Titchenell was assigned to a parish in Wadestown, West Virginia and then moved to Warren County where he ministered to congregations in Bentonville, Browntown and Rileyville in the early 1950’s. Following a whirlwind courtship, he married Blondina Titchenell in 1946, ten weeks and one day after first meeting her. Four children, three grandchildren and 32 years later, their partnership is still secure. With his new bride, Titchenell was transferred to Kopperston and spent five months selling the idea of social security to Baptist Ministers in West Virginia. The family’s next stop was Philadelphia where Titchenell founded the Kensington Christian Center, a settlement house that offered spiritual support and practical help to the community’s needy. An old newspaper clipping in Blondina’s family album shows the young minister up on a ladder, hard at work with hammer and nails. He did much of the restoration himself to turn the abandoned building into a settlement house with thrift shop, dental clinic for children, social center for the elderly and vocational training workshop. Titchenell spent hours in the workshop, building furniture for his family when his limited salary as a minister wouldn’t stretch to cover the things they needed for their home. The end tables, lamp, couch and coffee table that he made in those days have lasted through the years and now grace the living room in the Woodville parsonage. During his next assignment in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania, Titchenell was strickenwith tuberculosis and spent ten months in the Bucks County Sanatorium. “They wanted me to stay for two more months to harden but I signed myself out,” he recalled. 1 Service Center V.W.

Mr. and Mrs. William Jenkins and daughter of ■ By RAP O WINGS VP I Extension Agent Agriculture Just about the middle of May I wrote an article "Making Hay While The Sun Shines”, emphasizing the importance of cutting hay during the correct stage of , maturity. Well doggone it...I don’t believe the sun has shone for more than one day at a time since then. Trying to make high quality hay this spring has been a lousy, frustrating experience. However, weather conditions have been prime for rank lush pasture growth. On many farms pastures have out grown the cattle grazing pressure and clipping now should promote more high quality grazing as the season progresses. Clipping pastures helps control some weed species and removes the tough grass seed stalks. Removing the tall growth also gives clover plants an opportunity to compete. There are several reasons for removing these seed heads. They are of low quality with high fiber, lpw protein, and poor digestibility. Since the cool season pasture grasses produce seed heads only in the spring, one clipping to remove these seed heads will result in the plants remaining vegetative for the remainder of the grazing season. Grasses make little additional vegetative growth once they reach the heading stage, mowing helps to stimulate new growth. These seed heads also tend to irritate the eyes of grazing cattle, which may cause increased problems with pink eye. CEREAL LEAF BEETLE—For the second cc SSL SCENIC RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY!! WASHINGTON.
