Approximately $110,000 of the grant from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) wUl be used to establish a special emergency medical services communication system. As part of this system, Sperryville, Amissville and Washington squads will receive ten-channel, ultrahigh frequency radios. The radios will provide a clear line to Fauquier and Culpeper hospitals so that squadsmen will be able to contact a doctor if a severe life threatening problem arises. According to Gary Rosson, Field Coordinator for the R appahannock-Rapidan EMS Council, the system will be expanded next year to include communications with Warren County and other Shenandoah Valley hospitals. Rosson noted that the communications system will also open new avenues of advanced training for rescue personnel who could, for example, learn to administer, intravenous (IV’s) solutions. Approximately $24,000 of the grant will be used to purchase specific equipment. Rappahannock rescue units Death Investigated The Rappahannock County Sheriffs Department and the Virginia State Police are investigating the death of Virginia Frances Jenkins of Sperryville. Mrs. Jenkins died at her home located on a hill behind the barbershop in Sperryville at approximately 8 p.m., Sunday, July 22. She was found by her husband, James, who called the local rescue squad. She died shortly after squadsmen arrived on the scene. According to Sheriff W. A. Buntin, death was caused by a bullet wound in the temple, probably fired by some type of revolver. “At this time, it’s hard to say for sure what happened,” Buntin reported. will receive chair stretchers, portable and built-in oxygen systems, portable and built-in suction devices, orthopedic stretchers and splints. The HEW grant will cover 75 per cent of the costs for both the communication system and emergency equipment. Local squads will be responsible for the remaining 25 per cent cash match. The squads, however, will receive the benefits of a training equipment bank at no cost to the local units. Approximatley $30,000 from the HEW grant will be used to purchase mannequins, films and other educational equipment to be used by emergency care instructors. The equipment will be stored at Culpeper and Fauquier hospitals and checked out by instructors for classes. Time donated by physicians at the two hospitals will cover the 25 per cent local share of the costs. According to Rosson, Rappahannock County will particularly benefit from the training equipment bank since squads here have encountered problems in obtaining instructional equipment for emergency medical classes. Rosson emphasized that the grant money can be used only to provide services above and beyond the squads’ normal operating budgets and will in no way substitute for the public donations needed to continue standard day-to-day operations. “The squads are making a gallant effort to upgrade their training and equipment," said Rosson. “The more , training and equipment , they * have, the more lives they have the potential to save.” Produce Plentiful The Rappahannock Farmers Market now has a complete line of fresh fruits and vegetables available. Corn and tomatoes are the latest to appear, with blackberries and peaches still plentiful. Led by vice-president, Ellen Taylor of the Virginia Council of Senior Citizens, delegates of Urbanettes of Arlington County patronized the market last Saturday. They were well pleased, will return and bring others. Va. Growers Paid Less For Apples By Daphne Hutchinson Virginia apple producers came out on the short end of the limb during the 1978 crop year. According to statistics released by the United States Department of Agriculture, growers here received substantially less for their fruit than did producers in other states, as the following table in price per hundred weight illustrates. The price of juice and peeler apples in Washington State as of July, 1979, is $9 per hundred pounds, according to USDA. In a move to improve opportunities for Virginia apple growers, the Virginia Farm Bureau Apple \ Marketing Association has thrown its support behind a federal farm marketing bill currently under consideration by Congress. Sam Snead of Washington, chairman of the Farm Bureau Committee, and F.T. Valley orchardist Jens Tholand recently attended hearings with Representative Alson Smith in Washington on the National Agricultural Bargaining Act of 1979 (H. R. 3535). Snead explained that the Farm Bureau’s Marketing Committee was supporting HJR. 3535 “as a means, it hopes, to put apple growers in a position to negotiate with processors so the income from their produce will be better.” V-\ i'% Snead emphasised that die bargaining act wa* enabling legislation only, in that it allowed but did not TOTAL Maryland Michigan New York North Carolina Pennsylvania South Carolina Virginia West Virginia Washington CANNED JUICE FROZEN PROCESSED $5.25 $4.85 $6.20 $5.10 6.20 4.50 6.40 5.40 5.55 4.30 6.25 5.15 6.20 4.70 NA 5.20 5.55 4.40 6.30 5.15 5.50 4.90 NA 5.25 4.95 4.40 NA 4.67 5.25 4.25 5.50 4.87 8.15 8.00 NA 8.15 require farmers to form marketing associations. Last week, leaders of the nation's foremost farm organizations unanimously supported the legislative proposal to give farmers more clout in negotiations with middlemen in the agricultural marketplace. National Grange Master John Scott, American Farm Bureau Federation President Allan Grant, National Fanners Union President Tony Dechant and National Council of Farmers Cooperatives President Kenneth Naden supported the bargaining act in testimony July 10 before a House Agricultural Subcommittee. The bill requires handlers of agricultural commodities to bargain in good faith with associations of farmers on prices and other items involved in the sale of farm products. The legislation defines “unfair practices’ in the purchase and marketing of farm commodities and prohibits both handlers and associations of growers from' using “unfair” tactics. Advocates of the proposal, introduced by California Democrat Leon Panetta, contend its enactment would provide a climate for improved farm income, stabilized prices and assured supplies for consumers and increased efficiency in the marketing system. The National Agricultural Bargaining Act of 1979 .will shift the position of government from that of simply permitting farmer bargaining associations toward positive support by imposing obligations on handlers in dealing with farmer associations. Most of the opposition to the legislation voiced at the Washington hearings came from groups such as National Food Processors Association, Frozen Food Institute, Grain Trade Council (representing large grain corporations), National Grain ' and Feed Dealers Association and National Broiler Council. Local apple growers interested in more details on the proposed bargaining act may contact Sam Snead, 987-B709. Snead also urged all producers to join the Farm Bureau's Marketing Association. Membership dues, he said, are not just another tax. since the Association “can be a regl benefit.” .dm < MARIE DAVIS AND SYLVIA KREITLER (L-R) are the new secretary and social worker at the Welfare Office in Washington.,They will both be working full time. New Welfare Office Personnel Assume Duties By PHILIPPA KIRBY Rappahannock News Special Writer Several changes have been made recently in the office of the Rappahannock County Department of Welfare. After resignations and inoffice position changes, two new employees have assumed duties here. Sylvia Kreitler has accepted the position of social worker. The larger part of her work will be in the field of family and children’s services. She replaces Ellen Mustoe who recently resigned after ten years and has taken a position with the courts probation offices in Fauquier and Rappahannock. Marie Davis has assumed the position of secretary to the Welfare Department. This position was left vacant after in-office changes came about when eligibility technician Juanita Miko resigned. In the children’s services, Kreitler’s work will encompass adoption, foster care and family counseling. Much of her time will be consumed by the state’s new Child Abuse program. Changes in the law now enable a social worker to remove a child from a violent home at once, if the evidence is strong enough to merit such an act, instead of doing all the necessary paper-work before acting to help the child. Kreitler will also be working on the W.I.N. (Work Incentive) Program, with the aim of placing ADC (Aid to Dependant Children) mothers in jobs. She will interview eligible women, and will help with any problems which might arise, such as arranging day care. Some of the work done with the women will be motivational, “such as counseling to make them see that they can work and they they can try,” explained Mrs. Elizabeth Buntin, Social Services director for the county Welfare Department. Much of the work that the Welfare Department does lies in referring clients to other sources of help. Many people are sent to the Mental Health Clinic, and, some go to the Office on Aging, so a good part of Kreitler’s responsibilities will, involve becoming an expert on other community resources. Kreitler is married with three children, and lives in Front Royal. Her children have grown up in northern Virginia, though Kreitler herself comes originally from Connecticut. She has a son who is currently a student at VMI and a daughter who is at the University of Virginia. Kreitler is a graduate of the University of Connecticut, with a degree in psychology, and she has taken courses at Northern Virginia Community College. Says Kreitler: “I like living in Warren County - it’s great. 1 much prefer it to city life.” Marie Davis says she is finding there is much work to be done in the secretarial position at the Welfare office. “In two weeks I’ve not nearly uncovered all of it. It’s enough to keep me busy,” she added. Right how Davis is getting together the bills which have to be paid at the end of the month. She lists among her duties filling out warrant registers, answering the telephone, taking care of the mail and the payroll, typing the minutes of the Welfare Board meetings and preparing the agenda for upcoming meetings. (Continued on Page 5) k- • 4. • - Spending Down During the 1978-79 fiscal year just ended, the Rappahannock Welfare Department spent $125,825—nearly $48,000 less than the maximuir allowed in the department’s state approved budget. At last Friday’s Welfan Board meeting, social ser vices director Elizabeth Buntin reported that the department had alsc managed to hold ex penditures of local mone\ below the maximum allowed for last year. According to Mrs. Buntin the 1978-79 budget approvec by the supervisors includec $37,629 in local money bu only $27,700 actually wai spent. “What bothers me is tha the county is actually cutting down on its local effort,” saic Mrs. Buntin, referring to tht $1,738 in local money cut b; the supervisors from th< Welfare Department’: funding request for 1979-80 “What they’re doing i: robbing Peter to pay Pau and I resent that,” sh< added, in apparent referenci Environmental Chapter Reviewed By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock 'News Staff Writer At their July 18 meeting, the Rappahannock Planners reviewed a rough draft of the comprehensive plan’s chapter on natural environment. Besides praising the work done by the RappahannockRapidan Planning District staff on the document, the planners had few comments on sections dealing with geology, topography, slope, soils, water resources, forests and climate. The draft plan notes that "most all of Rappahannock County can be classified as steep slope. Development in the county, the plan says, centers around moderate or gently sloped areas near Flint Hill between Sperryville and Washington and in the F.T. Valley near Madison County along Route 231. The plan states that “low density or spot development is typically more appropriate" for Rappahannock and can be located in the small zones of relatively flat land that occur with steep slopes. The plan also notes that extensive use of steeply sloped land for plow farming or development ‘‘will be difficult or impossible.” Planner Alan Stokes remarked that spot development, although appropriate under the county's current ordinances, may not continue to be to cuts made by the supervisors in some departmental requests in order to balance increases elsewhere without a property tax raise. “Did they (the supervisors) know you spent less than you had last year before they cut this year's budget?” asked board member Aline Johnson. "I had not brought that to their attention,” Mrs. Buntin answered. She explained that the Welfare Department, unlike the school administration, couldn’t retrieve any local funds left over by spending them at the close of the fiscal year. Since the welfare budget depends on state reimbursement of local funds, “the money is just not there until we spend it,” she said. Mrs. Johnson asked if the supervisors could have learned from the county treasurer that not all of last year’s local money was spent. “I don't think anybody keeps that close account of what we spend except us,” the Social services director concluded. suitable in the future. “We may want dense development” on hillsides similar to Bryce Mountain and Wintergreen recreation resorts, said Stokes. Development on slopes can’t occur without first installing expensive water and sewer systems, responded Planning District Executive Director John Capelle. “Then water and sewer are the governing factors rather than slope,” Stokes said, adding that the comprehensive plan’s thrust was towards directing growth onto flatter land where development encroaches on farming. “There’s no doubt about it,” Capelle agreed. “The best land for farming is also the best land for development." “If we adopt that philosophy (of encouraging growth on slopes), every ordinance we have would have to be completely revised,” interjected Planner Newbill Miller. Stokes countered that he didn't want the comprehensive plan to limit development to flat lands only. The county's zoning and subdivision ordinances, not the comprehensive plan, limit growth, Capelle explained. The plan, he said, only attempts to encourage growth in specific areas considered suitable and desirable for development. Rezoning Procedures At the conclusion of the comprehensive plan review, Chairman Herbert Barksdale asked if the rest of the planners felt they needed to get together for discussion before the July 26 hearing on Peter Kramer's Old Mill rezoning application. Miller and E. P. Luke both replied that no special session was necessary since the issues involved had been covered at an earlier meeting. Following confusion over procedural steps that arose with C. L. Goode’s rezoning request for his proposed Flint Hill subdivision, two years ago, the planners adopted a check-off list. Planner Walter Masterson suggested that the check-off list be strictly adhered to with Kramer’s application and all future rezonings. “There are certain formalities called for in the zoning ordinance and 1 don't think the Planning Commission should look at (a ^ rezoning request) until theyTfe done,” he stated. “Who's responsible for putting the Planning Commission's ads in the Rappahannock News?” asked Miller. “The Zoning Administrator or our clerk?” “I think it should be our clerk," said Luke, adding that the clerk could type up “whatever the Planning Commission decides on” for inclusion in the ad. “1 feel like it’s the Planning Commission's responsibility to get that notice in the paper," agreed Barksdale. He added that persons seeking a rezoning often managed to convince the Zoning Administrator that “they've got to have action before tomorrow night... or before yesterday." The Administrator's office then puts pressure on the Planning Commission's secretary to get notice of anv required public hearing in the .paper, according to Barksdale. He maintained that the Zoning Administrator should first ensure that all technical requirements have been met before forwarding rezoning requests to the planners. “1 think we should take our time,’’ said Luke, in opposition to special meetings for hearings on rezonings in order to have recommendations to the Supervisors at the earliest possible date. "This hurrying to meet their (the applicant's) convenience ...” Is a whale ot a mistake, Barksdale finished. “The normal procedure is the safest and the best. It gives everybody the opportunity to have their say in the proper forum," Luke concluded. In other action, the planners agreed to cancel their regular monthly meeting in August "unless something really important comes up” and to schedule an informal work session on the comprehensive plan with Capelle for September in the Planning District's Culpeper offices. Benefit Sale This Saturday Trinity Episcopal Church’s white elephant sale, twice cancelled because of rain, will be held this Saturday, July 28, beginning at 10:30 a.m.—rain or shine.

Call For Second Opinion Many people protected by Medicare medical insurance whose doctor has recommended non-emergency surgery may want to get a second opinion, but do not know how to obtain one, Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently. To help these people, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare has set up a toll free telephone number to find a doctor who will give a second opinion concerning the surgery. The telephone number is 1-800-325-6400. The idea behind getting a second opinion is to assure high quality care and to reduce unnecessary surgery, which in turn should help hold the cost of Medicare as low as possible, Hundley said. Medicare will help pay for the expenses of a second opinion just as for other medical services covered under the medical insurance part of Medicare. Anyone who wants more information about Medicare should contact the Culpeper social security office. The office is located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center, and the telephone number is 825-3500.

REALTY WORLD. • CAITA1 aa I ESCROW une word usea frequently in real estate matters but not too wetl understood by the layman is the word "ESCROW”. This word normally pops its head with regard to “deposit” or "earnest money” paid at time of signing a purchase and sales agreement. This deposit is held in “escrow” or a "trustee” account until the closing. The word “ESCROW” may occur again at the culmination of the sale of a home if any of the terms of the purchase and sales agreement are incomplete. This sum of money is placed in the hands of an impartial party (usually the attorney or the bank) by. one party of the transaction ana is not released to the other party until he meets specific conditions. For example, if there is painting or landscaping to be completed at the time of the closing, the money for this work can be held in escrow until it is completed. In this way, the passing of title will not be held up until the job is completed, yet both parties are protected.

North America’s smallest native wild cat, the bobcat, will be the subject of a research conference cosponsored by the National Wildlife Federation and the Endangered Species Scientific Authority (ESSA), October 16 through 18, at the Smithsonian research center in Front Royal. More than 40 experts will meet to discuss methods and techniques for assessing the population status and management of the bobcat. “The bobcat has become a very controversial cat,” explained Claudia Kendrew, resource specialist with NWF. “Because its pelt has become so valuable, the fur industry would like to see more of the cats being trapped. But some biologists question how long the bobcat population could sustain heavy trapping. We hope at the conference to come up with some answers, so we can make intelligent decisions about how the cat should be managed.” The bobcat was not always such a controversial cat. A small animal, weighing up to 25 pounds, the stealthy bobcat is found in nearly all of the lower 48 states. It is capable of killing an animal ten times its own weight, such as an antelope or deer. Although the bobcat’s usual fare is mice, rats, squirrels, birds, and rabbits, it may attack farm animals. This tendency led some states to classify the cat as a varmint, with a bounty on its scalp. Then, in 1975, an international treaty—the Convention on International Trade and Endangered Species (CITES)—banned all commercial trade in the furs of big spotted cats. With their old supply cut off, the once-scorned bobcat pelt, which is tan to reddish brown, looked quite attractive to European furriers. Prices soared—one pelt sold for as much as $400—and in the 1976-77 trapping season, more than 100,000 bobcats were taken. Some biologists began to worry about the bobcat population, but information was scarce. In 1977, ESSA, which was established to direct U. S. compliance with CITES, proposed that all exports of bobcat fur be banned. In the face of loud protests from some state and game agencies, ESSA backed down, but did place the cat on Appendix II of CITES. This means ESSA must revievy the bobcat population and management status for each state before exports of pelts are allowed. Some states have gone so far as to ban bobcat hunting and trapping altogether, but many officials argue that this is a mistake. “Most of our bobcat information is derived from hunting and trapping,” Chet McCord of the Massachusetts fisheries and wildlife division recently told National Wildlife magazine. “Without this information, we can’t manage the animals.” But Maurice Hornocker, of Idaho, one of the country’s best-known wildlife biologists, does not entirely agree. “Trapping information has its place,” he explained to National Wildlife, “but too many states use it as a crutch—an easy way to manage bobcats without doing the necessary in-depth studies.” Kendrew hopes the research conference can help settle these arguments. Among the issues to be discussed at the conference are survey techniques, harvest reports, pelt trade and utilitization, factors affecting harvest level, response of population to harvest, and the relationship of habitat studies to census techniques. Hard Times Predicted By 1984, a person retiring in 1979 with a pension of ,$10,000 will see the buying power of that pension decrease to $6,000—if he is lucky. And if he is not so lucky, his pension will be worth only $5,000 in 1984, said Gerard A. Lareau, president of the Consumer Credit Counseling Service of New York City. Addressing those attending the National Financial Counseling Conference held at Virginia Tech, Lareau said the financial forecast for the United States is grim. He predicted social and financial dislocations because of rapidly continuing inflation. “It’s a problem that is not going to go away,” he said. “WeYe not going to see it solved by projected—and according to some economist—already starting recession.” "In the past,” he added, “at least in the forties and fifties, if we had a recession we could usually expect the inflation to be cured by that recession. It’s not going to be that way now.” Inflation, he explained, raises people’s incomes, but also puts them into higher tax brackets. Also, he said, the varieties and sources of credit are changing more rapidly than any other time in history. For example, he pointed out, credit unions are beginning to offer credit cards and Sears is planning to offer savings certificates. All the rules of the game are changing, Lareau said, and changing fast. While credit has expanded, the rate of savings by the American consumer has dropped drastically in the last two quarters to the lowest rates historically since World War II, Lareau explained. “This is one of the reactions of the consumer to inflation,” he said. “It’s very destructive and very sad because we’re about to or already have entered a recession at a time when people need a savings cushion and they don’t have it to the degree they had it in prior periods in relative income terms.” People are not saving for several reasons, he explained. One reason is that they fear if they don’t buy a new car or washing machine this week, the price will only go up next week. Another reason is that people who have savings accounts in banks earning around 5 percent interest end up with negative savings or a net loss after income taxes on interest and inflation are taken into account. “How do you encourage people to save?” he asked. “I feel foolish telling groups to save.” In western European nations, he pointed out, the governments allow the first several hundred dollars in interest to remain tax free, but this is not the case in the United States. Instead of saving, people are borrowing money and planning to pay it back in cheaper dollars without worrying about whether they will have adequate income to do so. “This is all part of the inflation psychology which is so disruptive,” Lareau said. What is emerging from all of this, Lareau said, is that there is no real guarantee* that savings or payouts for social security in the next 10 years will keep up with inflation as it has done in the past. There may not be enough money, or the fight over it may become so acrimonious that nothing is done to keep up with inflation. This might be a standoff “That will not mean that people can ignore savings,” he warned. “They will need savings even though the savings will be eaten up by inflation. It will have to be accepted.” Lareau said he was starting to hear ominous sounds from some economists that the coming recession may be as bad or worse than the last one. “it’s not going to be a soft one,” he said. “And don’t believe what the official government policy is that there won’t be any. No national leader in any country is going to say they’re going into a national recession. They just don’t do that.” Lareau said there is a growing need for personal financial counselors to help the public deal with this changing world. In the past, he said, it was assumed that people knew how to manage their money. “It was a less sophisticated world,” he explained. “The range of options was pretty clear. You took cash to the store and you bought. If you ' didn't have the cash you didn’t go to the store or else you looked and walked on.” “It’s a very different world today,” he said. Va. Senators Sponsor Nuclear Sabotage Bill The United States Senate approved legislation last week sponsored by Virginia’s two senators to make sabotage of a nuclear power plant a felony under federal criminal law. Sen. Harry F. Byrd, Jr., introduced the bill with Sen. John W. Warner as cosponsor. The Senate approved it by voice vote as an amendment to the fiscal 1980 authorization bill for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Impetus for the legislation pame from the May 7 discovery of sabotage to stored nuclear fuel at the Virginia Electric Power Company (VEPCO) power plant at Surry. Warner inspected the sabotage scene during a recent visit to the Surry plant. Conviction under the ByrdWarner legislation, if enacted, could result in a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine for any person found guilty of deliberately damaging a nuclear power facility. After the Surry sabotage, it was learned that such incidents are not covered by federal criminal statutes. The Byrd-Warner legislation authorizes investigation of nuclear sabotage cases by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecution of accuesed persons by federal authorities, superseding jurisdiction by state and local law enforcement agencies, jurisdiction by state and local law enforcement agencies. ++++ To be good is noble, but to teach others how to be good is nobler—and less trouble.—Mark Twain Our Rappahannock Heritage He’s Strictly For The Birds By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Alcatraz Island with its legendary birdman can’t hold a feather to Rappahannock’s Roger Jones. For ten years, Jones has devoted his free time to birds—first purple martins, then bluebirds and now barn owls, red-tailed hawks and kestrels. He’s more than a bird watcher. Roger Jones is a “bird doer.” He’s put up 40 houses or more for bluebirds all over the county, establishing bluebird trails near Sperryville, Washington and Flint Hill. “They’re having a great year,” he reported with pride, noting that bluebird families had established themselves in most of the houses. At his own home near Woodville, Jones has put in two large ponds and stocked one with wood duck decoys. The ponds are deep—40 feet in spots—so as to attract feathered flyers. “I’m not a hunter but I like to see the ducks and geese come in,” he saidHis house is built into a hillside with a deck and lots of glass—perfect for bird watching. A telescope sits at one picture window, aimed at bird roosts in the tops of tall evergreens. Bags of bird seed are piled on the counters, binoculars and bird books are scattered on tables and sofas. The deck holds a large bird feeder. Pictures of birds, wall hangings of birds and photographs of birds are the interior decoration. Visiting his home, it’s not hard to guess where Jones’ interests lie. Birds —particularly birds of Prey—constitute much more than a hobby to Roger Jones. They are a passion. His real job, the job that pays the bills, is selling package deals for ski vacations. The work gets hectic when cold weather approaches, he said, but slows down to a crawl in spring and summer, leaving time to devote to birds. A member of the Washington Raptor Society, Jones’ major concern are falcons and other birds of prey. He’s using Rappahannock County as a study area for these hunters from the heavens—red-tailed hawks, barn owls and kestrels. “This is ideal hawk and owl type country,” he said. Kestrels Need Homes While all raptors have been endangered by the encroachment of man and his use of pesticides, kestrels, the smallest and most colorful member of the falcon family, jare the most threatened. “They’re losing their habitat. People see a dead tree and they cut it down,” said Jones. “Plus the darn starlings—they used to be just in the city. Now they’re everywhere in the country too.” As part of an areawide “Kestrel Karetakers” project, Jones has built more than 30 kestrel houses in Rappahannock to provide the little falcons with alternative quarters. When he checks the sites, scattered primarily in the Woodville area, he spends half his time evicting starling squatters who’ve taken over. “One-on-one, a kestrel can take a starling but the starlings gang up on them,” he said, adding that he’d even caught the interlopers destroying kestrel eggs. Once kestrels are established in a house, Jones monitors the box so he can band the fledglings before they fly from the next. A licensed bander with the U.S. (Continued on Page 5) —Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson FIERCE BLAZING EYES mark young kestrels as the hunters rather than the hunted. Lifestyles Changing While it may be the norm for a woman and man to fall in love, get married, settle down and have two-pointsomething kids, it is not as usual as it used to be even a decade ago. According to a report published in the July 14, 1979, issue of Science News, the latest Census Bureau report indicates that Americans increasingly are adopting various bits and pieces of that typical family, rather than the whole scenario. The number of unmarried couples living together has more than doubled since 1970 - climbing to 1.1 million in 1978, an increase of 117 percent, according to the Census Bureau. The increase was greatest - 165 percent - among childless couples, compared with a 39 percent rise among unmarried couples with children. Couples without children account for about threefourths of the unmarried households. While unmarried couples still comprise only 2 percent of all cohabitations in the United States, the increase does reflect notable changes in family patterns, according to Census officials. Fewer persons are marrying and those that are, are doing so later. They are divorcing more, and rearing children by themselves. About 22 percent of all homes are single-person households. And although 62 percent of these are maintained by women, such lifestyles are increasing faster among men. The statistics also suggest that young persons want to further their education and careers before marrying. Since 1970, the average age at first marriage in the United States has increased by one year to 21.8 years for women and 24.2 years for men. In 1978, 78 percent of the U. S. children under 18 years of age lived with both parents - a drop of 7 percent since 1970, and the increase in single-parent situations has been higher among blacks than whites. One percentage that has not changed since the start of the decade is the ratio of women heading oneparent households; females account for about 11 million □f the 12 million such households. The divorce rate has nearly doubled in eight years - rising from 47 to 90 divorces for ivery 1,000 marriages; between 1960 and 1978, the divorce rate jumped 296 percent among persons under 30 and 83 percent in the 45 to 64 age group. —Rappahannock News Photos/Daphne Hutchinson ROGER JONES, a licensed bander with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, slips a tiny identification bracelet onto the leg of a fledgling kestrel as Ted Man waring holds the young sparrowhawk. The Little Fox Farming Hazards Stressed In Safety Week He’s up with the sun, working all day in fields with wide horizons. At day’s end, he puts away his machines, feeds his animals and goes home with the sunset. A farmer’s life is physically taxing, but runs in harmony with nature’s usually gentle cycles, many of us believe. But the farmer also breathes in dust, is often alone in his fields working with heavy, sophisticated equipment, and many times must alter his planting schedules to match the whims of weather and federal controls. Farming is one of Virginia's most dangerous occupations. “Farmers must deal with a variety of potential hazards in carrying out their essential role as producers of food and fiber,” Commissioner $5. Mason Carbaugh, Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, said. “Farm Safety Week, which begins July 25, offers an important opportunity annually to reevaluate personal safeguards." “This year’s Farm Safety Week theme - ‘Personal Protection-A Defense Against Injury’, emphasizes the farmer’s task of protecting himself from the many hazards he encounters every day,” Carbaugh said. In Virginia, farming ranks behind only construction and mining in work-related injuries and fatalities. The whole area of agriculture, from cultivating and planting fields, transporting supplies to the farm, and goods from the farrii to the processing plant or market place has been pin-pointed by the National Farm Safety Institute as the country’s third most hazardous occupation. On-farm safety concerns begin far from the farm itself. Equipment engineers and producers design equipment to minimize risk and provide instructions for safety operation. Farm safety is considered in the labeling of such products as pesticides and medicated foods. One built-in safety progran is the Certified Pesticide Applicator’s program which requires passing a competency test and being certified and licensed by VDACS. Scattered records make it difficult to compile statistics about farm accidents, injuries and deaths. Dr. G. H. Hetzel, Cooperative Extension farm safety specialist, maintains a statistics clearing house in his office and conducts safety training sessions with interested groups. OSHA keeps tabs on only 46,000 of the nearly quarter million Virginians who earn their living farming. Since last July about 1,500 farmers have responded quarterly to a survey Hetzel designed. The first comprehensive statistics will be compiled this fall. 4—I—I—b The only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use to oneself. —Oscar Wilde

A Wheel Chair Hasn’t Stopped Pat Donavan By DAPHNE! HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Pat - Donavan is a paraplegic, confined to a wheel chair as the result of an automibile accident that left him paralyzed from just above the waist. But Pat’s handicap has- not made success impossible—only a littfe more difficult to achieve. A houseguest of the Newbill Miller family of Washington, Pat arrived, several weeks ago from Florida. Like thousands of other kids with limited financial resources, he used his thumb instead of an airplane or train ticket for the trip. Hitchhiking in his wheel chair took six days. “From north of Harrisonburg on, it was easy to catch a ride but Florida was hard to get out of and Tennessee and Kentucky were a drag,” said Pat. Motorists thought the wheel chair was a prop, part of some elaborate con game. “They didn’t believe I was paralyzed,” he added. Pat doesn’t need much help getting in and out of cars, just a little bit of assistance in collapsing his wheel chair. The chair has seen a lot of hard service. It’s battered and bent in places and requires a swift kick before it will cooperate and fold together. Without the use of his legs, Welfare (Continued from Page 1) Davis is interested in social work and has thought about entering this field but it would take additional schooling. However, this has been impossible with a family for which to care. She is the daughter of Edward and Ethel Bailey of Washington and is married to David Davis who is a warehouse foreman at Crowder’s Transfer and Storage in Alexandria. She has three children and two step-children and they also live in Washington where Marie has spent most of her life. Prior to her employment with the Welfare Department, Davis was study hall monitor at Rappahannock County High School. Social Services director Elizabeth Buntin told the Welfare Board at last week’s meeting that “Marie is working out very well. I’m very pleased.” PARK THEATRE I Ever 7:00 - 9:00Sat./Sun.

His upper body is heavily muscled. He doesn’t have the thick, squatty neck of a football player but his shoulders and arms fit the image of an all-pro linebacker. Part of his physical development is the result of the active life he led before the automobile accident robbed him of his legs. Only 18 when the car crash occured, Pat was a star high school athlete. He played soccer, wrestled, raced down the snow covered slopes of his native Vermont on skis and was one of the top gymnasts in the state. But he hasn’t sat idle for four years in a wheef chair. Until an operation this year forced him to the sidelines, Pat was a champion weight lifter, coming in third among contestants from the entire United States in the Special Olympics two years ago. If the operation hadn’t interrupted his training, he would have been the odds on favorite for first place in the Olympics this year. Pat has begun a lot besides weight lifting since his accident. He enrolled in college at the University of Florida. Instead of having his parents drive him down from Vermont, he hitchhiked with his chair to New York, wheeled around the airport, arranging for tickets and baggage, and flew alone to Florida. He then managed the hassles of registration and getting settled in new quarters. He’ll return in September to Gainesville as a junior, majoring in psychology, with plans to enter clinical work. Pat’s father, a former pilot in World War. II who flew for the Central Intelligence Agency during the Viet Nam 'War, publishes one of the; country’s top flight magazines. Pat, quite naturally, inherited his father’s love of flying. He met lay Miller, the start of his friendship with the Miller family, at flight school in Vero Beach. j Pat earned a student's license to fly after his ac-i cident. Paralysis has made it' harder for him to coordinate the throttle with steering. “But it can be done with a little practice,” he said. At —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hot chin ton “CONFINED TO A WHEEL CHAIR” is not the right phrase to use in describing Pat Donavan. Pat broke his back in an automobile accident four years ago and must use a wheel chair, but he’s far from confined. A junior at the University of Florida, Pat hitchhikes in travels up and down the East Coast and recently earned his student pilots license at Vero Beach Flight School. the Vero Beach flight school, iPat was the only wheel chair student but he noted that many paraplegics fly, particularly on the West Coast. Although he gets around well in a wheel chair, Pat has long range plans to furtheiincrease his mobility. He tried ordering a specially designed brace that would enable him to walk but found after spending several hundred dollars that the contraption didn’t work. “I’m going to build long leg braces when I have the time and the resources—some type of mechanical thing that will allow me freedom and speed,” he explained. The Millers have one word to describe their house guest. “He’s a super person—just super,” said Carol Miller in speaking for the entire family about their friend. But Pat Donavan doesn’t see himself as anything special. He doesn’t view his achievements as heroic or an example for other handicapped persons who find themselves slipping into selfpity. His independence, his athletic accomplishments, his continuing education, both in the air and in the classroom—he sees it all as average. His matter of fact explanation for his efforts is “I would have done it all anyway.” For The Birds (Continued from Page 4) Fish and Wildlife Service, Jones reports band number, sex and other information on the birds to the Service’s station in Patuxent, Md. Through banding, Kestrel “kare taking’’ and other efforts to keep track of the small falcon, bird enthusiasts and naturalists hope to gather data on their immigration patterns and population and determine whether or not kestrels will return to and prefer manmade houses. On Tuesday, Jones picked up Ted Manwaring, another bird lover, and visited a kestrel family on the Manwarings’ Red Oak Farm. Bouncing across a field in Jones’ jeep, we saw an adult bird d~p lunch off at the kestrel ..ouse and retreat to a roost on a telephone wire. The parents feed and run, Jones explained, because the young kestrels display more and more aggressiveness as time to leave the nest approaches. “They love wires,” he added, noting the adult bird’s perch on the telephone line. “That’s one reason why I put the houses near wires.” He warned that the parent birds might become alarmed as the house came down. “They’re very maternal,” he explained. The adult birds, however must have decided their offspring were big enough to fend for themselves since neither mother nor father swooped down on CATHY ANN'S Over 40 kinds of cheese, nuts and dried fruit in bulk; Subs, Sandwiches, Salads 10* per cup Front Royal, Va. us sounding “killy, killy, killy.” (Kestrels are shown in some areas as killy hawks after their distinctive cry. Sparrow hawk is another widely used name for the bird.) “Dirty Bird*” Jones unscrewed the bolts fastening the top half of the pole and lowered the house , carefully to the ground. As if explaining away the foibles of a dear friend, he apologized for the kestrel’s sloppy housekeeping, adding that the parents kept the “nursery” a lot cleaner when the baby birds were younger. He opened the top to find four fledglings still with traces of down left on their heads, all huddled in a pile in the corner. “People think they’ll get pecked by the beak but that’s not true,” said Jones as he slipped on a glove before reaching for the first kestrel. “Talons are their means of defense.” He took three from the box and pushed each head first into a cylinder fashioned from old juice cans. Once in jthe cans, the bird immediately ceased struggling, i Jones explained that they felt comfortable and secure with the tight, dark fit. Inside, the box was a mess. Jones was right—kestrels do make lousy housekeepers. Ted Manwaring couldn’t have been happier, however, at finding the box full of June bug and Japanese beetle carcasses. “I’m sure glad somebody eats those pests,” he said, addipg that hungry Japanese beetles had turned the leaves on his grape vines into lace. Along with the bugs, kestrels dine on mice, moles, grasshoppers and other insects, Jones said. Stories of kestrels attacking chicken 'flocks are old wives tales, at least in this day, he maintained.

No Sense Of Smell Another myth associated with birds is that mothers won’t feed their young if they’ve been touched by human hands. For years, moms have cautioned kids "Don’t pick up that baby bird and put it back in its nest. The parents won’t feed it if you do. They won’t go back to the nest if they can smell you.” Nonsense, according to Jones. “Their sense of smell is almost nonexistent. And they can’t count either,” he added. Jones reported that he’d just placed seven orphans from the city in Rappahannock bird houses, one in the box on the Manwaring farm. “I just put the orphan in. It was a little older but the (parent) birds can’t tell the difference. They don’t know if they left four, five or six. They fed the orphan and it flew away a few days later," he said. Inspecting the birds while Ted Manwaring held them for banding. Jones estimated their age at about three and a half weeks. Tiny bird hearts thumped so fast it was hard to distinguish one beat front another but otherwise, the fledglings didn’t seem too distressed. There were, at least, no stabs with either beaks or talons. "There will be a big change in their aggression in about one more week," Jones noted. If the banding had been delayed until then, he said, the fledglings would have welcomed company lying flat on their backs with legs up in the air and talons ready to strike. After all four were banded and returned to the box, the pole was pushed slowly back up. “The next week or so will be critical,” Jones said. He explained that the young fledglings were vulnerable when they first leave the safety of the nest, both to air attack from other birds of prey and ground attack from foxes, raccoons, cats and oppossums. The parent birds will continue to help their offspring for the first week or so, bringing food and trying to ward off danger, but basically the youngsters are on their own. Manwaring agreed to keep an eye on the house for the next few days and report any activity. Jones said that he would also check occasionally from the road with binoculars. In addition to his kestrel "karetaking", Jones is conducting a census of raptors—kestrels, barn owls and red-tailed hawks—in Rappahannock County. Anyone with information as to the location of nests should write to Jones, care of general delivery in Woodville, or call 987-8883. He’s also eager to put up additional kestrel boxes and will either supply building plans to anyone interested or bring the finished product for installation in suitable locations. Roger Jones is doing a fine job on his own but with a little help, he can really turn Rappahannock County into kestrel country. Wildlife Habitat Film Is Available The US Forest Service has produced a new documentary film in cooperation with the National Wildlife Federation about the life-support system on which all wildlife depends—habitat. The half-hour picture. Habitat: A Special Place, is aimed at giving general audiences an in-depth look at the ever-changing relationship between wildlife and the essential elements it needs to survive—food, water, cover, and a place to raise their young. “Habitat: A Special Place” is available to schools, conservation organizations, and other interested groups on a loan basis from regional Forest Service offices and land grant universities. __++++ i There is less frit in swee milk chocolate than in bitte 'chocolate, * \ \

SPECTATORS EAGERLY AWAITED the siren to sound the beginning of the Sperryville parade Thursday night and among them were Michael and Kelly Brown, small children of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Brown of Culpeper at the home of his mother, Mrs. R. W. Brown. Proxy Vote Short With approximately three weeks left before its August 14 deadline for Proxy returns, Nothern Piedmont Electrie Cooperative revealed it is still short of a majority vote on a proposed consolidation with Virginia Electric Cooperative. Francis Updike, Members Services Director, stated, “At the present time, we are approximately 2.000 proxies short of what we need. We will again be appealing to our members by a direct mailing Proxies which the Cooperative have received to date are overwhelmingly in favor of ther merger of the two systems. Updike continued, “It would truly be unfortunate if all our members are penalized and denied the savings we project just because of a lack of response on the part of less than 20 percent of our members.” The Cooperative has projected savings of $4-6 million which they propose will help them withstand rising operating costs and help delay the need for immediate rate increases to its members. {Iropertg Offerings .. what you always wanted in country property but were afraid to hope for: BEAUTY: on 12 level, open, well landscaped acres; WATER: 200 ft. river frontage; VIEWS: unsurpassed!

BLANCHING IN A MICROWAVE OVEN There are several sources of directions for blanching vegetables for freezing in a microwave oven. These timetables are based on sensory evaluations of products, usually after a short period of storage. No research has been done to determine whether or not enzymes which cause changes in color, flavor, and texture during storage are inactivated by the process. There’s no health hazard from under or overblanching so persons may experiment if they choose. General rules for blanching in the microwave include: 1. Use only the amount of vegetable and water specified. 2. Use a covered container. 3. Cook at HIGH for the minimum time specified, stirring after half the time has elapsed. 4. Check after minimum cooking time - vegetables should be evenly heated with bright color throughout. If not, continue cooking for maximum time. ■">.
