30th YEAR, NO. 33 USPS 45558C 8 Pages THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1979 Washington, Virginia Phone 67,>-3349 MONO IQ, VA. 23219 1 The County Family Newspaper Founded 1877 Scores Higher For Spring Competency Tests Rappahannock ninth graders, along with students throughout the state, scored slightly higher on minimum competency tests administered in the spring than did tenth graders given the exams last fall. In addition, scores tallied by county students on both the reading and math portions of the spring test are higher than marks posted by students in most neighboring school divisions. In Rappahannock, 89.6 of regular (non-handicapped) ninth graders passed the reading exam this spring compared to 87.2 percent of county tenth graders who passed last fall. In the math portion of the competency test, 89.7 percent of regular ninth graders passed in the spring compared to 86.2 percent of tenth graders who mastered the exam last fall. Statewide results show 88.7 percent of Virginia’s ninth graders passed the spring reading test and 89.5 percent passed the math test. On the competency exam given to tenth graders last fall, 86.6 percent passed the reading portion and 87.3 percent passed the math. “The results of the spring tests are cause for cautious optimism,” states a release from the Department of Education accompanying the test scores. “It appears that the graduation competency program may be achieving its intended purpose, namely to improve the practical academic skills of lowachieving students.” According to the release, “the same level of achievement was required to pass the spring test as to pass the fall test. No students were penalized in the spring Co-Op Opening Draws Hundreds Bargains, prizes, good music and some of the last ten cent hot dogs on record drew hundreds of county residents to the grand opening celebrations for the new home of the Rappahannock Farmers’ Cooperative. On Friday night and Saturday, over 480 adults registered for prizes. The concession did a brisk business, selling 1,200 steamed ballpark franks. With hotdogs for a dime and Cokes for a nickel, inflation was squeezed right out of the food booth. Folks from as far away as Florida filled out cards for the prize drawings. “Of course, we know they didn’t T> come all that way just for the grand opening,” laughed Wayne Hendricks who took time off from the Culpeper branch to attend the celebration. In the drawing on Saturday, Clarence H. Deal of Sperryville won the first prize air conditioner. W. E. Coates of Etlan won second, a Hoover upright vacuumn cleaner. Third prize, 500 pounds of hog grow and fattener pellets, went to David Norman of Woodville. Bill Scott of Amissville won the fourth prize of 50 pounds of calf manna and Wayne Grigsby of Sperryville won fifth prize of 50 pounds of Wayne bite-sized dog food. THE RAPPAHANNOCK FARMERS’ COOPERATIVE officially opened its new store Friday evening with a ribbon, cutting at six o clock. Present for the grand opening were Ted Gore, general manager of Culpeper Farmers Cooperative, parent firm of four associated establishments; Ranny Aylor, assistant manager of the new Rappahannock branch; W. A. Spillman, president of the Culpeper Fanners’ Cooperative; Col. E. P. Luke, chauman of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors; Doug Smoot, assistant general manager and Gordon Thornhill, manager of the Rappahannock firm with the spacious new store located on Route 211 west of Washington. because of taking a more difficult test, nor is the higher passing rate for the ninth graders attributable to their having taken an easier test." Scaled Results In fact, however, results of the reading portion of the competency exam given this spring were scaled to bring a score of 65 percent correct up to a passing grade of 70 percent. Dr. Claude Sandy, associate director for testing from the State Department of Education, acknowledged that raw scores on the reading portion of the competency exam given in the spring had been converted to standard of scaled scores. He maintained this was done to achieve the same level of difficulty as on the fall tests. The reading exam administered in both spring and fall included 60 items. On the fall test. Dr. Sandy said, a student had to answer 42 questions correctly for a passing grade of 70 percent. On the spring test, 39 correct answers contributed the same passing grade of 70 percent once the results were scaled. Dr. Sandy emphasized that the achievement level represented by a passing score on the spring test was at least as high or higher than the achievement level needed to pass the fall test. He reported that the index figure for “level of difficulty” was 1.120 for a passing score with 42 correct answers out of 60 questions on the fall test. On- the reading test given in the spring, 39 correct but of 60 represented a higher 1.195 "degree of difficulty,” he noted. According to Dr. Sandy, 70 correct answers constituted a passing grade on the math exams for both fall and spring. The math portion of the competency tests included 99 questions each time. Three to four thousand students throughout the state “who should have passed” would have failed the spring reading exam if the passing score had not been scaled, Sandy maintained. RCHS Students Higher Rappahannock’s ninth graders scored higher in the spring competency tests than did students from most nearby jurisdictions. In addition, county youngsters scored slightly higher than averages for the state on both portions of the test as the following table illustrates. State Average Culpeper Fauquier Greene Loudoun Madison Orange Page Rappahannock Warren Reading Math Percent Percent 88.7 89.7 83.3 82.5 88.2 89.4 82.6 87.9 93.0 92.6 80.2 89.6 80.8 84.3 91.1 91.4 89.6 89.7 87.7 90.1 According to legislation passed in the 1978 session of Impersonation Nets Fine Marshall Edward Corbin and William Putnam, both of Amissville, were given a year’s suspended sentence, 18 months probation and fined $500 each for impersonating police officers in Shenandoah National Park. The two appeared before Judge James C. Turk in Federal District Court in Harrisonburg on Monday. August 13. In accordance with a plea bargaining agreement between the U. S. attorney and the lawyer for the two men, Corbin and Putnam pleaded guilty to impersonating a police officer in the Park. In exchange, charges of felonious assault were dropped. The incident from which the charges arose occurred May 8. Harrisonburg attorney Franklin Blatt represented Corbin and Putnam. Corbin is a candidate for Sheriff of Rappahannock County in the November elections. Putnam manages the Lombardy Restaurant outside Amissville. the Virginia General Assembly, all students must pass minimum competency tests in reading and math before receiving a high school diploma. The graduating class of 1981 is the first to be affected by the mandate. Ninth graders who failed to achieve a passing score of at least 70 percent on one or both sections will have three more opportunities to master the competency tests. Students who pass the exam the first time do not have to take it again. Text Books On Sale Textbooks for the 1979-80 school year will be on sale at the elementary and high schools on Thursday, August 23, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. To avoid unnecessary confusion during the first days of school, parents are urged to purchase textbooks before classes begin. Text book rental fees for the coming year were established by the School Board at its August 14 meeting. For students in grades kindergarten through third, rental will be $13. For grades four through seven, rental will be $20 with reading workbooks purchased as needed at school cost. High school students will be required to pay $4 per book for texts in English, math, science and social studies. In addition, they will pay a $3.50 materials fee. Other school fees for vocational and science classes Soccer Meeting An organizational meeting for the fall soccer program sponsored by the Rappahannock Athletic Association will be held Friday, Aiigust 17, at 7:30 p.m. in Trinity Episcopal Church parish hall in Washington. Adults interested in coaching, refereeing or helping in any way are urged to attend. The program is open to boys and girls ages eight to 18. Fire-Rescue County Meeting The Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association’s August meeting is scheduled for Friday evening, beginning at 7:30 p.m. in the Chester Gap fire hall. All interested area residents are invited to attend. JUDGE R. V. SNEAD will depend on the courses. According to Superintendent William Bloomer, the increase in rental fees is attributable to the “tremendous high cost of books.” Under the rental system, cost of texts is recovered within three years by charging one-third of the books’ price each year. Students who abuse their books beyond normal wear and tear pay an added penalty for damage. Bloomer noted that parents also have the option of purchasing rather than renting, text books at the cost incurred by the school.

Pregnancy: “Not My Daughter” By PHILIPPA KIR BY Kappahannock News Special Writer For many parents of teenage daughters, the thought of teenage pregnancies is a bad dream. But at the same time, it's a bad dream that Can’t be ignored.*If a young girl has an unwanted pregnancy, it is always someone eise’s girl, never your own. Unfortunately, the fact remains that there has been a 90 per cent increase in pregnancies in girls under 16 since I960, and the possibility of such a thing happening to your daughter is not as far removed as you would like it to be. Dr. Katherine Oettinger of Washington, in her soon to be published book, “Not My Daughter,” tries to cope with the emotional problems brought on by the “increase in unwanted, unplanned and unmarried pregnancies." She has written the book as a manual for the confused and sometimes angry parent who has suddenly discovered that his or her daughter is to have a child while still an unmarried adolescent. Oettinger feels very strongly that, while many books have been written on the subject within the medical and psychiatric fields, almost nothing has been written for the parent, or the par^professional, such as the counselor in a youthserving organization. And it is the parent who feels that he has failed in bringing up his daughter, who feels that she has betrayed her parents' moral values, and who has the most difficulty in understanding, and coping with, the problem. In a June 1958 issue of “Newsweek” magazine, Oettinger was quoted as saying: “The sharp rise in the number of young, unwed mothers in the United States is one of our most tragic and disturbing problems.” The problem, has not diminished in 20 years. Instead, it increased. Says Oettinger: “What appeared twenty years ago as a threat has escalated into a full fledged disaster which is making its mark on America.” In Oettinger’s view, the problem heeds to be taken much more seriously by the public at large. In other words, it is a problem that ultimately affects all of us. Oettinger began her career as a psychiatric social worker. In later years, she became Dean of the School of Social Work at Boston • University, and was appointed chief of the Children’s Bureau at HEW by Dwight Eisenhower, an office which she also held under John Kennedy. She served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Population and Family Planning under John Gardner. In 1976, Oeltinger coordinated the world's first International Conference on Adolescent Fertility. Oettinger has concentrated more and more as the years have passed on the "problem of adolescent fertility." It is directly from this involvement that Oettinger's book has arisen. The aims of the book are manifold. But most of all, she stresses the importance of prevention; to stop the unwanted pregnancy before it ever happens is the ultimate goal of any work in this field. This, according to the aulhor, means increased education of both adolescents and parents. If parents tell their children about their own personal moral values, and bring sex education into the home, which is "the most important place for the growing child to learn about sex," adolescents will be encouraged to establish their own values. Oettinger believes. She also discusses what to do if an unwanted pregnancy occurs in the family, and the options for the girl and her family in meeting the problem. This iq turn extends to what communities can do to help avoid the situation, and to help provide opportunities for young people to have more healthy attitudes. Many people. and especially parents, do not understand why the rate of unwanted pregnancies has risen so dramatically in the last twenty years. Oettinger cites many reasons, most important of which, she feels, is that "there is an unquestionably more permissive attitude towards sexual activity." In addition to this, "a lack of sex education," and thereluctance of parents to discuss this in the home, which is the place where knowledge and attitudes are best shaped" compounds the problem. She adds that parents are facing a different world and need help in facing up to today’s problems: "That's what this book is for." she states. It has been argued that giving teenagers a lot of information about sex and contraception will only lead to promiscuity. Oettinger completely disagrees with this idea, and cites a number of scientific studies as evidence and support for her views. Instead, she feels, discussion of these issues “will lead to active examination of the individual teenager's own values.” At the same time, many adolescents acquire the little knowledge that they do have from their peers, who know little more than they do. Most of the information that they can glean this way is misinformation, which is worse than no information at all. And the problem is not confined to one particular social class: “it knows no economic or social barriers, affecting families front every walk of life." Oettinger hopes that "Not My Daughter" is "practical and honest." While a number of books have been written directly to the adolescent, this is one of the first that is addressed particularly to the parent. Having had two sons her self—the book is dedicated to them—Oettinger is in a position to understand the particular problems of the parent. She says with a smile that she and her sons went through some of the stages that she discusses in the book. Clearly, with her background in family planning work, and her years as a mother. Oettinger is exceptionally well qualified to write a book which encompasses both the medical viewpoint, and the attitude of the parent. — Rappahannock New* Photo/Philippa Kirb\ DR. KATHERINE OETTINGER of Washington, Va. is the author of “Not My Daughter", a book which deals with the emotional problems of unwanted pregnancies. She has three degrees from Smith College and two honorary degrees, one in humanities and one in law . DeMent Case Dropped Legal action brought against P. E. Steve DeMent by Col. Evan McNear in his position as Zoning Administrator for Rappahannock County has been dropped. The case, in which DeMent was charged with failure to obtain a building permit for a structure costing $500 or more, was scheduled to be heard in District Court this Friday. “We consulted with our counsel and they strongly advised we go on another course,” McNear said on Tuesday. According to legal advice, “Virginia statutes support a civil action much, much better” than a criminal action, McNear said, "There’s no question but that it will be pursued” with a civil suit filed at a later date, he added. McNear obtained a warrant for DeMent on June 19 following expiration of a June 15 deadline set by the Board of Zoning Appeals. The BZA had given DeMent until that time to modify new construction to his Sperryville antique business so that the building complied with its « special use permit. DeMent’s building permit was revoked by the BZA in June, 1977, after he allegedly failed to follow stipulations in the accompanying special use permit. Th^ revocation was subsequently upheld by Circuit Court Judge Rayner V. Snead in August, 14/8. in a letter dated May 15, 1979, the BZA notified DeMent ' that the addition to his antique building was an “unlawful structure” and must therefore be modified to meet requirements set forth in the original special use permit.

By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rippahannock New* Staff Writer (Rappahannock is going to. the dogs, judging by the number of canines and\ canine breeders who live here. This week, the News begins the first in a series of articles on county dogs and their owners.) Although Marilyn Bailey breeds toy poodles as a business, she treats her dogs like visiting royalty. Five bundles of silver fluff hold court in the living room of the Bailey’s Washington home. Alvin, Alice, Tina, Natasha and Tasha make themselves comfortable on hardwood floors, overstuffed couches and wingbacked chairs. Not for them the concrete runs, chainlink fences and dog houses of most breeding operations. They prefer the comforts of home—Marilyn's home—to the average life of a dog. Marilyn began raising poodles after her sister gave her Alvin and Alice three years ago. She grew up with dogs, indulged by a dog loving daddy who brought home puppies from nine or ten different breeds. Even now, variety is the keynote of the Bailey’s dog family. A husky, a mutt, a German shepherd and an ancient oneeyed fox terrier rule the oneacre lot on old Route 211. Poodles, however, have captured Marilyn’s heart. “They’re irrepreSsable—the most affectionate, lovable dogs in the world,’’ she maintained as they bounced from floor to couch to floor to chair, barking a welcome. There's no in between with Marilyn’s dogs. They decided that the stranger must be a friend if she wasn’t a foe and since being a friend means you enjoy petting poodles, they settled right in for some stroking. After all, from a poodle’s point of view, what other important things do humans do with their hands besides pet, open dog food cans and throw balls? For years, poodles have starred in stories, jokes and photographs. With their bodies shaved into outrageous design and wearing little jackets. sweaters, nats—even rain t coats and rubbers—they’re the epitome of the pampered pet. Despite the evidence presented in dog acts by hundreds of talented poodle performers, it’s hard to believe that any animal who looks so ludicrous can have a brain. No High Fashion Styles Marilyn doesn’t have her dogs clipped into any of the more fashionable styles that leave the poor things looking half-naked and more than half ridiculous. The Bailey dogs are washed, brushed and trimmed—not shaved and manicured. Standing ten inches or less at the shoulder and weighing only about ten pounds, the toys look sturdier and more dignified carrying the coat that Nature gave them. To a stranger, Marilyn’s poodles are identical—all silver gray, all furry and all tiny with enormous brown eyes staring out of a clipped face framed by droopy ears. But Marilyn would no more confuse Tasha with Tina than she would fail to recognize her own kids. “They look as different as our children did,” she said. “Of course, their personalities are very diversified—from meek-mannered Alvin to the barky females.” c*eal ' REALTY WORLD - Estate $</e*n xJl. REALTOR PRICING FOR Without any doubt, the most important element of selling a home is placing ' the right value on it. When you get right down to it, it’s the price, more than anything else, which Will dictate how fast (or slow); how profitably (or unprofitably) it will sell. What is the best selling price? National experience has proven conclusively that if your property is priced at inception within 5 percent above fair market value range, the chance of making a clean, top dollar sale during the early stages is TEN TIMES greater than otherwise. Buyers buy by comparison. Properties not competing favorably do BEST PROFIT not sell. Overpricing at inception causes properties to become shopworn; valuable time and buyers are lost forever. Ultimately, all properties sell for their true value by comparison - or less if exposed initially at an inflated price. How do you arrive at this “5 per cent plus” key value?

And, considering that all five adult poodles sleep in bed with one family member or another, the question of who’s clawing whom is not too farfetched. “They say that politics make strange bedfellows and boy, do I have a lot of strange bedfellows,” Marilyn laughed. “I have to creep out of bed at night as carefully as when I had sleeping, nursing babies.” The poodles she worries about disturbing have learned to prefer box springs to a dog box and sleep all along both sides of her body. Luckily, unique poodle characteristics make them more tolerable as bed fellows and house mates than other breeds. “They don’t shed at all—no more than people and they have no doggie odor,” said Marilyn. With five adult dogs and two super charged little dynamos from Alice’s latest litter, the Bailey’s home could smell like a kennel. It doesn't. The aromas from a country kitchen mix with the scent of furniture that’s had decades of polishing. Even the keenest nose can’t detect a whiff of disinfectant or old wet dog. Marilyn’s poodles may not sleep outside but they’re not strangers to the great outdoors. Since it’s not feasible to walk five dogs on a leash, she’s had a spacious pen built for exercising. “We have a digger, a climber and a jumper,” Marilyn explained. Sinking the wire into the ground took care of the digger and building the pen five feet high handled the jumper. “But Alice climbs the five-foot wire like it wasn't there,” Marilyn added. Hunting Dogs Once she's free, the matriarch of the family reverts back to the habits of her ancestors. “They’re hunting dogs. They make the best mousers—better than any cat...Alice even goes down groundhog holes. She —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson DOGGIES IN THE WINDOW—Marilyn Bailey’s poodles watch eagerly for her return. was digging out a 20 pound groundhog when Jonathan came down and shot it,” Marilyn reported. The intervention was timely. Alice needs to learn that discretion is the better part of valor since she weighs only eight pounds. Although Marilyn tries to be impartial with her dogs, Alice stands out as the favorite. “She has all the M & H INC. 4 vs**»SIGHT & SOUND CENTER tvs, '***» o "Largest Audio Selection Within 50 Miles" \ ROYAL plaza shopping center yO'° \ 441 South St, Front Royal, Va. 635-7530 ~'c‘ -^*®Mon-Thurs.

Paradise For Poodles class in the world. She just loves opera. Anytime there’s classical music on TV, she just sits glued to the screen,” reported the proud owner. Alice carries classiness over to her personal life. No behind-the-bushes quickies for a lady—she only breeds on a bed. And she’s completely monogamous, interested solely in Alvin. “When she’s ready, she puts her nose under Alvin’s ear and nuzzles him. Then she walks up the stairs, looking coyly over her 'shoulder. If Alvin doesn’t follow her, she comes back down and nuzzles him under the ear again,” Marilyn said. “They line up in a semicircle around his end of the table,” Marilyn reported. The poodles don’t bark.With Alice in command, they try the ‘‘feed me. I’m starving” stare first. If the silent treatment is unsuccessful, Alice lays a paw on Jonathan’s pants leg—first gently, then with a little more force and finally adding scolding yaps until the poodles get what they want. And what they want is people food but especially green beans and bologna. “I think they’d kill for bologna. They’d do anything for it,” Marilyn admitted. The furniture in the living room has new slip covers. Marilyn selected the material to meet specific criteria—it had to be able to stand the wear and tear from ten sets of paws. Still, she had to get the needle and thread out after a poodle buried a piece of Kennel Ration in one of the cushions. With four females coming into season throughout the year, Marilyn plays musical rooms. “It’s not fair to Alvin to lock him up all by himself or to shut one of the girls up—they’re so used to being together.’’ Instead she separates the dogs into groups of two and three and and with the dogs, he said “My God, it’s like living in a jungle!” Although her son Jonathan’s devotion falls a little short of Marilyn’s, he too is attached to the poodles. He sometimes gets a little tired of canine bed fellows, Marilyn said, and uses a rolled up TV guide to convince them they should leave. But he never hits the dogs, she added, and now, just saying “I’m going to get the TV guide" is enough. Despite the work, Marilyn finds raising poodles tremendously rewarding. “I never intended to breed them commercially. But I love MARILYN BAILEY tried to get her five adult poodles all still at the same time for a group photograph but the bundles of furry grey energy refused to cooperate. Dinner time in the Bailev household is like feeding time at the zoo with the spectator roles reversed. Marilyn never hands the poodles treats from the table so they ignore her, concentrating instead on her son, Jonathan. (He made the initial mistake long ago of slipping the dogs a goodie or two from his plate). Having poodles has changed Marilyn Bailey’s life style. She buys sturdy shoes so she can go dashing after an escapee anytime one sneaks out the front door or over the top of the pen. The Bailey’s living room is warm and inviting but it’s minus rugs. The carpets were moved out when Alice’s first litter arrived. alternates the groups between downstairs, upstairs and basement. Movable screens serve as barricades dividing the house into dog territory and man's land.

Snead will retire in a few months after devoting 27 years to the administration of justice. He will be missed. His impartial reading of the law, the dignity that he brought to the bench, his patience and even temper will be hard to replace. On hearing of his retirement, local attorneys—the men and women who work with Snead on a day-to-day basis—were generous with their praise. “Patient.. .understanding. . . thorough. . . fair,” were the adjectives used over and over again. “He’s a good teacher,” remarked one attorney. “He commands respect,” said another. The highest accolade came from county clerk Diane Bruce: “If there’s anything nice you can think of, say it about Judge Snead and it will fit.” Almost as important, Snead is from Rappahannock. As a little county with only 5,800 inhabitants, Rappahannock could be swamped by Fauquier and Loudoun in the sea of the 20th Judicial Circuit. But Snead never let that happen. He only held court here a few days out of every month but he was always available to lawyers and average citizens alike. If someone needed to see him, Snead would schedule appointments at his courthouse office in the morning before he left for Loudoun and Fauquier or after he returned home late in the afternoon. He met with local folks during his time off the bench and on weekends and holidays. Although not strictly a county judge, he fulfilled all the requirements and met all the needs of Rappahannock. If a qualified, interested candidate can be found, we hope that his replacement will also be from the county. Snead will be a hard man to follow. Some are swallowed by the power and authority embodied in the trappings of the office. The black robes of a judge fit Rayner V. Snead. What Did You Say?

With youngsters from Page and Warren Counties, the campers were divided into four tribes under the leadership of teenaged junior leaders. The junior leaders served as counselors during morning classes that covered a range of interests from leather work to cooking. They also supervised afternoon athletic activities and evening camp fires. County campers and junior leaders alike came home loaded with awards. Courtney Jones and Joe McCullough were selected as the outstanding junior leaders. Paul Keithly was Big Chief and Kelly Gilkey was chosen as Scribe. As chief of the tribe that exemplified the most spijif during the week of camping, Julie Burke received the Spirit Stick. During a closing candlelight ceremony Julie also received the Hands Award for being the most helpful camper. Willie Arias won the Heart Award for showing true camping spirit and the Spirit of Camp award went to Aaron Schumaker. Michael DeLuise won the honor for the First Year Camper. In archery, David Coffey and Becky Williams brought home first place trophies, Cindy Hunter second place and James Dennis and Julie Burke third place trophies. Jim Murray received a medal for most improved archer. Special awards presented by the junior leaders went to Sean Clevenger, Jon McCullough and Bart Secrist. Junior leaders attending camp were Kelly Gilkey, Courtney Jones, Paul Keithly, Joe McCullough and Gary Settle. Adult leaders were Kim Gilkey, Rap Owings and Nancy Secrist. John Burke of the Gid Brown Bible Church weathered several renditionsof “One Hundred Bottles of Beer on the Wall” while he drove the excited campers to and from Powell’s Fort and Jimmie Falls carried piles of luggage and sleeping bags in his truck.

Electric Co-Op Merger Vote The merger of Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative and Virginia Electric Cooperative will come to a membership vote Thursday evening. August 16, at the annual meeting to be held at the Culpeper High School Auditorium. Registration will open at 6 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. meeting which is expected to draw the Cooperative's largest meeting attendance ever. This night will finalize a more than five year effort on the part of Northern Piedmont to effect cost savings for members by eliminating overlapping administrative and overhead costs incurred by the two Cooperatives. The Board of Directors decision to merge the two organizations requires approval of a majority of both Cooperatives total membership. about 10,000 at Northern Piedmont and 25,000 at Virginia Electric Cooperative. “The importance of this decision cannot be overemphasized," stated Edwin A.

These directors will represent portions of Culpeper, Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties. If the consolidation issue is approved on Thursday evening, these directors will become a part of a con m To help farmers conserve energy, the ASCS office will finance solar grain drying systems. Funds for the energy-saving systems are available under the farm facility loan program. Although solar energy is a relatively new technology as applied to agriculture, farmers are being encouraged to develop and use solar systems because of steadily rising fossil fuel costs. ASCS will finance commercially constructed solar , systems. Producers eligible for farm facility loans under current procedures will be eligible for financing solar grain drying systems. Grain drying using conventional fuels—liquid petroleum gas and natural gas—is a high energy operation. Solar grain drying is an alternate technology that uses less energy but still preserves the crop for the feed use intended. Loans for solar systems were first made available last fall in 10 states and 27 countries as part of a pilot project. Shortages of various farm fuels and higher costs prompted the agency to open the program nationwide. For more program details or additional information, contact your local ASCS office. Va. Horses Bring $5.5 Million Virginia-bred horses brought more than $5.5 million during the Saratoga Yearling Thoroughbred sales last week, Jim Sharp, equine specialist with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, reports. The 38 horses, all sold during the sale’s first three days, brought an average of $145,132 each. With one day of auctioning remaining, 114 horses from other states had sold for $9,984,000, or an average of $87,579 per horse. Sharp said. Several of the Virginia yearlings were purchased by foreign companies and individuals for racing and breeding.

Park Visits Continue Decline Gas shortages appear to be having an impact on tourism at Shenandoah National Park, according to statistics released by Park Superintendent Robert Jacobsen. In July, 1978, visitors to the park totalled 329,100. For July, 1979, visitors numbered only 191,800—a decrease of 41.6 per cent. For Calendar Year 1979 compared with Calendar Year 1978, the decrease is 23.4 per cent. The number of overnight stays in the park during the month of July dropped fro.tnJ,Xftl,082 in 1978 to 80,543 in 1979. Readings from the Big Meadows weather station show the maximum temperature for July as 79 degrees and the minimum as 43 degrees. Precipitation totalled 3.01 inches. Adoptable Children Looking For Homes A majority of Virginia’s children who are legally free and waiting for adoption have no permanent home. According to the Virginia Department of Welfare, these children have no home as a result of their special needs. Children have a special need if they are: —5 years of age or older. —A minority child of any age. —Handicapped (Physically, mentally, or emotionally). —Brothers and sisters who are to be placed together. At present, there are 990 adoptive homes approved in Virginia and 554 Virginia children who are legally free and waiting for adoption, but 76 per cent of these children, 419, have special needs. “Most families are looking for an ideal child. Specifically, they want a bright-eyed, healthy, bouncing, baby boy,” Patricia Sykes, Supervisor of the Adoption Reports and Resources Section at the Welfare Department, said. “Today with birth control and family planning information readily available, the liberalized abortion laws, and the number of unmarried women who keep their children, there just aren’t as many ideal children available," Sykes said. 4-H’ers Attend Congress Seven Rappahannock 4H’ers attended State 4-H Club Congress in June. They participated in state competition, illustrated talks, demonstrations, agri-business and Share-The-Fun with 1,200 other senior 4-H’ers from all over the state. Judith Lynn Bloomer won a scholarship in consumer education for her achievement record book and presented her demonstration in home management. Jennette Beebe won a scholarship in Share-TheFun and performed in the Congress talent show. Ronda Wiley participated in agri-business seminars on cooperatives. Courtney Jones, Beth Fannon, Jennifer Raney and Johanna Day attended leadership classes. Letters To The Editor Miller Defended To the editor. The following letter was written to Col. Luke by Sen. Nathan Miller after a visit to the Board of Supervisors last December, and shows that Sen. Miller not only appeared at a meeting, but followed through on a request by the Board. “Dear Mr. Luke: Just a brief note to tell you how much I enjoyed visiting with the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors several weeks ago. At that meeting,' you raised a question concerning a Federal law dealing with tax exemptions for farms. Enclosed is the information I received from Congressman Robinson’s Office, which I hope will answer your question... Cordially, Nathan Miller” Perhaps Dr. Schlabach will now reconsider statements he made at the August meeting of the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors alleging that our representatives in Richmond have failed to maintain contact with local government. TINY CARNEY Woodville According to Sykes, it is difficult to find permanent homes for children with special needs since many potential parents who apply to Virginia agencies are not interested in these children. On a regional basis, there are 142 children waiting in Tidewater with 150 adoptive homes approved; in Northern Virginia 69 children with 229 homes approved; in Richmond 129 children with 202 homes approved; in Roanoke 74 children with 128 homes approved; in the Valley 36 children with 89 homes approved; in the Southwest 45 children with 110 homes approved; in Lynchburg, there are 58 children with 82 homes approved. The Virginia Department of Welfare is making a concerted appeal to find adoptive homes for these special children through the use of public service announcements on radio and television stations and utilization of the Welfare Department’s Adoption Resource Exchange (AREVA), a multiple listing of children available for adoption in Virginia. AREVA has often proved useful in matching up a special child in one part of the state with a suitable home in another area.

NEW FORAGE SEEDINGS August is the month for establishing new forage stands. Alfalfa and tall grass - clover stands generally should be seeded before September 1 in moist, triable^ but firm, seedbeds. The goal is to have seedlings strong enough to survive the winter and be ready to take off next spring. DM V Error Because of a computer programming error, about 14,000 Virginia drivers whose licenses expire in September have been notified by the Division of Motor Vehicles to renew their licenses on Sunday—when the agency is closed. Vern L. Hill, DMV Commissioner, said the error was not discovered until most of the notices had been mailed. Citizens who receive the notices should disregard the Sunday appointment date, and renew their licenses on a weekday convenient for them. Hill said. All DMV branch offices are open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 to 4:30 and on Thursday from 10 to 6. The News From Boston By MRS.

FAUQUIER NATIONAL BANK Warrenton View Tree The Plains •ri&V * New Baltimore Catlett Member FOIC This Generation More Anxious A recently released psychosocial survey done by the University of Michigan’s Survey Research Center and published article in Science News seems to indicate that ours is the generation with hard times. A 1976 survey of 2,000 men and women was compared to a nearly identical survey done in 1957. Based on this comparison social scientists report that - “people, especially young people, are having greater difficulty integrating into society today, compared to a generation ago.” People feel less obligated toward society than to themselves, according to the study. As a result, “people seem more anxious about a world they feel less in tune with,” say researchers Joseph Veroff, Elizabeth Douvan and Richard Kulka. At the same time, however those surveyed appear more confident of handling distress on a personal level. Overall, says the report, Americans’ sense of happiness and wellbeing has remained stable over 20 years. Only 2 per cent more people in 1976 reported ever feeling they might have a nervous breakdown (21 per cent, versus 19 per cent in 1957), or that their future was not brighter than their present (11 per cent to 9 per cent). But “dramatic shifts" are seen in reports of worries and symptoms of anxiety," say the researchers. In 1976, young people especially report more sleeping, nervousness. headaches, loss of appetite and upset stomach than did their 1975 counterparts. Such anxiety symptoms may be traced to “evidence that people now feel a greater difficulty in connection to their roles and relationships in society, and especially among the young,” Veroff says. As compared with the 1957 group, 1976 people are more unhappy about their communities and country (24 per cent versus 13 per cent), their jobs (20 per cent versus 11 per cent) and their interpersonal lives (13 per cent versus 3 per cent). The study also found that people are more willing to seek professional help than they were two decades ago. Since 1957, the percentage of adults reporting actual use of behavorial professions (psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists) has risen from 14 per cent to 26 per cent.
