Jennings Hobson has received praise for a job well done from George L. Jones, state coordinator from the office of emergency and energy services. In a letter to the Rappahannock supervisors dated October 25, Jones complimented Rev. Hobson for his work as county emergency services coordinator during the August flood. “I would like to bring to your attention a matter which I feel reflects great credit on your county. Your emergency services coordinator. Reverend Jennings Hobson, deserves our very special thanks for his tireless efforts to assist both our office and local citizens of Rappahannock County during the recent flood,” Jones wrote. Noting that Hobson Man Charged A warrant was issued on Tuesday, November 20, against Ernest Lee Douglas charging him with the felonious shooting of Peter Marx of Washington. The incident occured on Sunday, November 18, at approximately 2:30 p.m. Marx was admitted to Culpeper Hospital for treatment of a shoulder wound. The shooting is under investigation by the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department. worked without a permanent staff or operations center, Jones complimented him on his tireless efforts and unusual vigor in helping to assess the damages from the flood and to determine the extent of help that would be required after the disaster. “Both our regional coordinator and regional desk officer have impressed on me the diligence and dedication of Reverend Hobson. In a time of true emergency, we are gratified when a local coordinator performed as Reverend Hobson did; it is even more gratifying when that coordinator is an unpaid volunteer,” Jones concluded. Folks On TV A series on country'living in Rappahannock, “Just Plain Folk,” will be shown on WJLA, television channel 7, on Sunday, December 2, at 7 p.m. The short features on the Lee family, “Doc” Johnson, Reverend Milton Switzer’s Hope Hill Baptist Church and square dancing with the Free State Ramblers in Jeffersonton were originally aired on the channel 7 evening news, November 5 through November 9.

Appointments Invalid Under FOI By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In an opinion dated October 4, Virginia Attorney General Marshall Colemen replied to inquiries regarding the legality of Robert Eastham’s appointment to the Rappahannock County School Board. According to Coleman, Eastham’s appointment—and the appointment of Charles Edlred —are invalid as they relate to procedural rules set down in the state’s Freedom of Information Act. Coleman ruled that the action does not constitute a conflict of interest between Robert Eastham, the new school board member, and his brother Granville Sham, one of three oral trustees who appoint members to the Rappahannock board. At a special June 25 meeting, the county’s electoral trustees Granville Eastham, Christine Johnston and chairman C. E. “Ned” Johnson announced the appointments of Robert Eastham and Charles Eldred to the school board. According to chairman Johnson’s statement at the time, the decision was reached in executive session. No vote was taken at an earlier June 21 meeting of the electoral trustees to enter executive session and no vote was taken at the June 25 meeting to appoint Eldred and Eastham. “The School Trustee Electoral Board must follow ”the procedures set forth in the Virginia Freedom of information Act,” wrote Coleman in his opinion. “These sections generally require the following action to be taken in order to properly convene in closed session: 1) in open session an affirmative vote to go into closed session, specifically stating the purpose of the closed meeting and the applicable Code section; 2) during closed session, only the items mentioned in the affirmative vote may be discussed; 3) upon reconvening, any action taken during closed session must be affirmatively voted on again in public session.” According to Coleman, none of the actions taken by the board since Eastham and Eldred joined are invalid. “A newly, but improperly, appointed board member would serve as a de facto officer. His own actions and those of the school board are valid until such time as he receives notice of his defective appointment.” Coleman also noted that any person alleging denial of the rights and privileges conferred by the Freedom of Information Act may enforce provisions of the Act by petition for mandamus or injunction in the appropriate court of record. No Conflict of Interest In regard to the ap Drug Program Scheduled The Rappahannock School Board will sponsor an educational program on drugs and alcohol on Tuesday, November 27, at 7:30 p.m. in the elementary school auditorium. Taking part in the panel presentation will be Drs. Jerry Martin and Werner Krebser from the Rappahannock Medical Ginic, Bob Treanor, drug abuse counselor from the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic and Dr. William Young, medical doctor and psychiatrist with the Mental Health and Mental Retardation Community Services Board. The public is invited to attend this special program on the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. Questions will be accepted from the audience. pointment of Robert Eastham by a three-member body including his brother, Coleman said “there appears to be no violation of the Virginia Conflict of Interests Act.” Coleman noted that the trustee electoral board and the school board are “separate entities...Since the agencies are separate, there can be no violation of...prohibitions against dealing with one's own agency.” There are no facts that indicate there exist any financial dealings between either of the brothers and either of the two governmental entities, according to Coleman. Therefore, he wrote, there is no violation of the requirement of disclosure Gong Show Next Week A preview of the December 1 “Gong Show,” sponsored by the elementary school's seventh grade class as a fund raiser for the annual Williamsburg trip, will be held next Friday, November 30, at 2 p.m. Audience admission to the Friday rehersal will be 25 cents. The “for real" show, with prizes awarded to winning performers, will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 1. Admission will be $1.50. Both the show and the rehearsal will be held in the elem 6 titary school auditorium. The annual trip by the seventh grade class is an educational experience and opportunity for discovery that many of the youngsters will never have again. The opportunity to go is offered to the entire class with costs for those who can’t afford to pay covered with money earned in fund raising activities. Contributions from those tn the community who won’t be able to attend the "Gong Show” but would like to support the Williamsburg trip may be mailed to seventh grade teachers Susan Henry, Lynn Baines or Becky Hawkins in care of Rappahannock County Elementary School, Sperryville. and abstention from voting. (According to chairman Johnson’s announcement at the June 25 meeting. Granville Eastham abstained from voting on his brother’s appointment.) Coleman noted that conflict of interest was further avoided by the fact that the brothers maintain separate households. Criteria Set By Law At the June 21 meeting of the electoral trustees, members of the audience were given a list of criteria the trustees were using to evaluate school board nominees. According to the list, a school board member should: —be a taxpaying voter, —be genuinely interested in the public schools and have a desire for their improvement, —be of good standing in the community, of unquestionable honesty and integrity with a reputation for good judgement, —be able to think independently, rely on facts, —be successful in business and employment so that the public recognizes his or her ability to direct the school system's business affairs. In addition, the trustees indicated they would also consider the educational attainment of the candidate and whether she or he had children in the public schools. "The General Assembly has expressly established the criterias which must be met by candidates for county school board membership." Coleman wrote in his October 4 opinion. "Therefore. the School Trustee Electoral Board lacks legislative authority to publish additional eligibilityrequirements." According to Coleman, the General Assembly established that a school board member "shall be a bona fide resident of the magisterial district or town from which he is elected." In addition, wrote Coleman, the Code prohibits a county or state officer and supervisors and their relatives from sitting on the county school board in certain circumstances. Finally, the Code permits certain enumerated classes of federal employees to serve in county positions. Coleman noted in listing all the qualifications for school board member covered by the General Assembly in the Virginia Code. The legal opinion from Coleman was sought bydelegate George Beard at the request of several Rappahannock constituents. RCEA Awards Given The Rappahannock County Education Association announced on Monday that sixth grader Nancy Proctor and Lavonne Adkins from Rappahannock County High School are winners of the RECA's essay contest on “My Idea of a Perfect School."

Den ice Eidson and Becky Sue Tattrie received honorable mention for their essays and Jonah Waggener and Donna Foster won honorable mentions for ther “perfect school" art work. Winners were awarded $5 prizes by the education association. My Idea of a Perfect School I guess that the only problem with my idea of the perfect school is that it would probably take more school hours. It wouldn't be hard to make Rappahannock Elementery perfect, though. First, books. 1 think that to preserve our books we should have book covers. Also, lockers would be helpful for the 5th, bth, and 7th grades because of all of the books we have to carry in changing classes. Next, P.E.. often we girls are limited to doing only a few things in P.E. because of wearing dresses. So gvm clothes are necessary. Clubs. I think are good for the upper grades also.

In the cafeteria having a choice of the meals we want is another thing I suggest we have. Another suppliment would be longer library periods where students can do research that they wouldn’t be able to do otherwise. The thing that concerns me the most is the qualification of our teachers. They should be sympathetic, yet strong, they should also understand the pupils. If necessary, longer college period requirements should be issued. I know that I want my teachers, principals and officials qualified to do their job well. I want the best education I can get. I am also sure my comrades agree. NANCY PROCTOR Sixth Grader My Idea of the Perfect School With life as it is tojlay, there is hardly the chance for a perfect school, but you sure can give it a try. The least you could do would be to improve your school. Here are my ideas and what I feel the perfect school would be. The perfect school starts with the administration. These people must be competent, must be reliable, understanding, friendly, and must be able to organize. Without organization, where would a school go? These people must have patience and the desire to help and teach other people, but most important of all, they must be an example. An example of everything that is right. In the perfect school, there must be a good disciplinary system. It must do what it AMONG THE SENIOR CITIZENS who exhibited photographs, collages and prints at the Governor’s Conference on Aging in Richmond on October IT were: left to right: Bertie Hackley.

Holiday House Tour Set The Women's Club of Madison County is planning 3yK75K to begin holiday festivities in the community,by sponsoring an historic house tour on Sunday, Dec. 2 from 2-8 p.m. Four homes in the town of Madison plus the Piedmont Episcopal Church and the old town hotel will be open for the tour. In addition to the house tour, an afternoon of entertainment is planned. Main Street will be blocked off to traffic and carolers, music ensembles and horse and buggy rides will add to the holiday atmosphere. Also the new County courthouse complex will be dedicated at 2 p.m. Proceeds from the sale of tickets will go to the restoration of the Arcade, a unique and historic building in the town of Madison. Block tickets are $5.00 and can be purchased from any Club member or at the houses on the day of the tour. Refreshments will be served at the Arcade to those holding block tickets.

A perfect physical education class would go along just fine with the perfect school. It would promote good health, good nutrition, and lots of good exercise. It also would promote good sportsmanship, participation and teamwork. There is something else that a perfect physical education class would promote and that is good friends. Good friends or in other words perfect friends, also fit into the perfect school. Perfect friends means no hate. It means everyone would be friends and there would be no enemies. The perfect school should have lots of room. It should be quite large so as to give everyone some extra space to move and to breathe. It should offer various academical courses as well as a variety of sports. It should be well equipped to suit the needs of everyone. Everyone in the perfect school has obligations to perform from day to day to keep things moving smoothly. There is one thing that you must not forget. Perfect people make a perfect school.

Free Solar Pamphlet Solar energy systems are not as complicated as many Americans believe. In fact, solar technology is “surprisingly simple,” and is already cutting energy costs for thousands of U. S. homeowners according to a free publication from the National Wildlife Federation entitled, “Solar Energy and the Homeowner.” The new 16-page pamphlet is an introduction to commonly-used solar energy systems. “Hot water and pool heating are the most common applications for solar systems, with space heating becoming less expensive as the market rapidly expands,” explains the publication. Solar electricity via power lines, however, will probably not arrive until 1990, barring some major technological breakthrough. In California alone, there are already 1Q.OOO domestic water heaters and 3,000 space heating and cooling systems. Basic solar systems —active, passive, direct, indirect, air, and liquid—are explained in the pamphlet with disgrams illustrating how the systems work. In addition, there’s a section on how to assess your "solar potential.” For example, before considering installation of a solar system, homeowners “must make certain the house is well insulated to minimize heat loss,” the booklet advises. Climate, available sunshine, exposure, and the structure of the home must also be considered. Because there are currently no industry-wide standards for solar equipment, the publication warns consumers to deal only with licensed contractors, obtain and check carefully references from the contractor’s past customers, and investigate a contractor’s credentials with local solar organizations and the Better Business Bureau. “Solar Energy and the Homeowner”, is available free for the first copy and 25 cents for each additional copy by writing: National Wildlife Federation, Dept.

The time and opportunity may be right to buy a piece of commercial property, but one buyer may not be able to raise enough money. In this case, additional money may be found by forming a partnership with one or more other persons who will share the financial load. There are two kinds of partnership arrangements. The general partnership and the limited partnership. The basic difference is in the degree of financial responsibility. In a general partnership, all partners share in profits and losses. There is no limit of liability. With the limited partnership, one partner must be a general partner, but the limited partner’s liability is limited to the amount he has invested.

The student letter stated that, “while they recognized the delicacy of the situation and the need for astute judgment, the international perception of the United States as a ‘pitiful, helpless giant’ endangered the security of the entire free world.” The letter concluded with an appeal to the president to uphold the “honor of our country.” Christmas Tree Advice The United States Forest Service has produced a brochure called “Buying Your Christmas Tree” which provides some timely advice on what to look for in a Christmas tree, how to keep it green and attractive and the best way to test a tree for freshness.

S. winter wheat farmers, hog producers, and cattlemen will be contacted in late November and early December in the Department of Agriculture’s annual survey to develop current estimates of planted wheat acreage, hog numbers and farrowing plans, and cattle inventory. Clarence Dunkerley, Statistician In Charge of the Virginia Crop Reporting Service, says that participation in the survey is voluntary and that farmers’ responses to the questions are kept confidential and used only in preparing Virginia and U. S. estimates. The estimates form the basis for decisions across agriculture—by farmers in making their production, I storage, and marketing plans; by manufacturers or processor serving farmers; by state and federal farm program planners working with producers; by the transportation and export industry. Estimates of acreage planted to winter wheat this fall and potential 1980 production will be published by the Department of Agriculture’s Crop Reporting Board December 21; the latest estimate of hogs on farms and farrowing plans for early 1980 also will be issued that day. The cattle inventory update will be issued January 30, 1980. Copies of each report are available from the Virginia Crop Reporting Service in Richmond. CANCER /SSiiK 1-800-592-7996 FRIDAY!

F alse Alarm Last week, a questionnaire was mailed to parents of all Rappahannock school children. When the school board first decided to go this route as part of a review of the drug and alcohol policy, we failed to grasp what purpose this informational only poll would serve. Now that we've seen the cover letter and questions, we're convinced that the poll is an exercise in futility at best. At worst, it is a self-serving piece of propaganda, designed to reinforce opinions shared by several members of the board. The memorandum accompanying the letter starts off “Your child is in danger!" and implies that increasing use of illegal drugs and alcohol IN THE SCHOOLS threatens the health and safety of both elementary and high school students. “Overreaction” is the first—and kindest—term that comes to mind. Some high school students smoke marijuana. Some drink beer and hard liquor. They do it in Rappahannock County as well as throughout the rest of the country. But in a school as small as RCHS. where do they go to smoke and drink between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Monday through Friday? In a school that’s packed to the rafters as RCHS with every room used every period of the day—some by two and three classes at a time—with only one boys’ bathroom and one girls' bathroom for over 400 students, where do they hide from teachers and administrators? Rappahannock high school isn’t a mamoth institution where kids are names and numbers. Teachers and principals not only know the youngsters as individuals but they know which hutch shift students are on and where they 're supposed to be fourth period. We’re not trying to convince anyone that RCHS is certified drug free. Even though drug sniffing dogs from the U.S. Customs Service failed to uncover anything more threatening than a turkey sandwich, were sure that “controlled substances.’’ primarily marijuana and beer, can be fotuid in lockers and cars. The same element that used to sneak out at lunch for a shot of booze now scotts off into the woods for a few puffs on a joint but the administration is aware of this problem and working to eliminate it. We have confidence that the teachers and administrators care about the welfare of their charges. We believe that they would have been before the school board in mass if the situation was as serious as the memorandum implies. All we’ve heard—in open session—at school board meetings is one member claiming information from an unidentified “reliable sources source” as to how bad the drug scene is. The memorandum doesn’t just tag the high school as a hotbed of illegal drugs. “Even the Elementary School (sic! is now becoming involved." the letter claims. Involved with what! We know of only one isolated incident that oeeured last year involving two students and one marijuana cigarette. There have been no other elementary students brought before the school board on drug violations. And if it isn't from students caught with either alcohol or drugs, how do the board members know that “even the Elementan School is now becoming involved”? The memorandum goes on to assure parents that they do not have to sign the questionnaires but regardless of whether they add their names or not, the responses will all be burned by the chairman once the results have been tabulated. Why burn anonymous written answers from parents when the kids are going to be asked to respond to the identical questions by a show of hands in their homerooms at school! If the questions are so incriminating, students should also be afforded the right to respond anonymously. But the questions aren’t incriminating. A little ridiculous maybe, loaded, a thinly veiled insult to the local sheriff’s department, and impossible to answer on the basis of general information but not incriminating. *-'* In the first question, parents are -sked to check the appropriate box if they favor a firmer or more lenient drug and alcohol policy than what is currently in force. Why not give the option of endorsing the same policy? How many parents know what the present policy states even after the Rappahannock News printed the regulations on alcohol .and drugs last w eek ? Parents are asked in question number two if they think the present policy is being enforced. How could they know ? When the school board deals with discipline problems relating to drugs and alcohol, they do so in executive session without releasing any specific details on the offense. We can assume that youngsters required to attend drug and alcohol counseling have been caught violating drug and alcohol regulations. Therefore, we can deduce that the regulations are being enforced—at least among the kids brought before the board. Beyond that, parents have no reliable information. In question four, the school board asks if first offenders should be given less punishment than students with previous records. Everything else being equal, repeat offenders should definitely be punished more severely. In asking the question, however, the school board implies that there are students who have repeatedly ignored the regulations on alcohol and drugs. This is not the case. With one exception, no student has been brought before the school board a second time for a drug related offense in the past several years. The questionnaire notes that currently, drug and alcohol offenses are reported "only to the County Sheriff I sic I ” and asks parents if they feel cases should also be reported to the state jtolice. Has the board asked the understaffed state police force here how they feel about investigating drug and alcohol cases at the high school? The trooper assigned to this area frequently must patrol Shenandoah County and very often Page County as well as Rappahannock. If the state police are asked to investigate, they will but what can they do that our local law enforcement officials can’t? All drug offenses at the high school to date fall into the category of misdemeanor. No one’s been found with heroin, cocaine, prescription drugs or enough marijuana to be charged with possession with intent to distribute, a felony. First time possession of marijuana comes under Virginia’s first offender statute and carries a maximum penalty of one year’s probation. The state police seldom devote time to investigating this type of offense. Sheriff W. A. Buntin has repeatedly stated that his department has investigated every drug and alcohol violation reported by the schools. Principals of both schools say they have an excellent working relationship with Buntin's offic#1. Why call in another law enforcement agency when our local police are doing the job? No other school division in the area routinely requests the state [xdice to conduct investigations involving |K)ssession and use of drugs. We object to the hysterical tone and innuendos of both the letter and questionnaire. What is the board’s purpose behind sounding the alarm bells when there’s no fire? We’re not suggesting that school officials bury their heads in the sand and refuse to recognize that our youngsters use alcohol and other drugs. But let’s keep things in perspective. We do not have a drug epidemic at RCHS and it’s wrong to suggest to parents and taxpayers that we do. We have enough reason for legitimate concern over the quality of education here without digging up phoney causes. The time, money and energy that’s gone into the drug and alcohol policy revision would have been much better spent in developing a program to prevent our youngsters from evei experimenting with dangerous substances in the first place. A good educational film shown to our kindergartners and first graders would have been worth more than 500 questionnaires. Our Rappahannock Heritage Yes, Rappahannock There Is A Title I Each day approximately 250 students in Rappahannock County attend special classes designed to improve their reading and math skills. These classes are federally funded by Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, Public Law 89-10, as amended by the Education Amendments of 1978 (most commonly referred to as Title I.) This act is designed to assist educationally disadvantaged children, or children who come from families that are financially and-or culturally impoverished, particularly in rural and inttr-city shcool districts. It should be stressed at this point that a child does not have to be from a cultural and-or financially deprived home to qualify for Title I. He simply has to fall below the level that is expected of him at his particular grade placement, for whatever season. Perhaps he was immature for his age or missed numerous days in the first grade when certain reading skills were stressed. However, for a school division to receive Title I funds, a sufficient percentage of students must come from families who qualify for free and reduced lunch, aid to dependent children, etc. Rappahannock County has approximately 21 per cent who fall into this category. Once a student has been tested and selected for Title I, and approval has been granted by his parents for him to participate, he is assigned to a particular educational setting, based on his age and educational needs. Rappahannock County schools have five placements currently available: transitional first grade, primary reading lab, elementary reading lab, elementary math lab and a reading lab at the high school. The transitional first grade is designed to assist those youngsters who, for various reasons, are not really ready for the first grade. They need additional readiness skills before they can handle the complex tasks involved in math and reading. For example, they need to master such concepts as “bigger than or less than, in front of, behind, left-right, and to recognize shapes, sizes, colors, and eventually letters and numerals. Most of the students assigned to this classroom will move on to the second grade at the end of the first year. Others will be placed in a regular first grade in order to expand upon and reinforce first grade skills. Double Dose The primary reading lab is designed to provide reading enrichment for grades one through three. After pretesting to determine specific weaknesses, the lab teacher, assisted by a full time aide, utilizes a multitude of high interest materials to meet the needs of each child. Students in the primary lab, as in the other labs, get a “double dose” in that the instruction received in this lab is in addition to the time spent on reading in the regular classroom. A goal of the lab is to work closely with the classroom teacher in order that the instruction presented is not contradictory or confusing when presented in conjunction with the reading series used in the regular classroom. The elementary reading lab, grades 4-7, is built around the high intensity management system by Random House. Students are tested during the first week in the lab and the results of this test are used to determine class assignments for the duration of the year with periodic testing to determine if the student has mastered particular skills and to determine if the student needs to work on additional ones. As with the primary lab, concentrated effort is made to see that the instruction in the reading lab supplements that which is given in the regular classroom. Because ot the limited space available for the Math Lab, the pupil-teacher ratio is one to eight with a full time aide. The instructinal program in the math lab is keyed to the Individualized Criterion Referenced Test (ICRT) which is used in a pre-post test design for all the Title I programs, except for the transitional first grade. As a result of the close correlation with the ICRT and the small pupil-teacher ratio, the test results in the math lab have consistently been the highest of all Title I programs in the schools. Tremendous progress has been shown each semester since the lab opened in 1977. At the high school, a reading lab is available as an elective course. A multitude of high interest-low vocabulary material is available in the lab. As with the elementary reading lab, the management system for the high school lab is a highly structured system that concentrates on various reading skills. As of the 197879 school term, a major thrust of the reading lab is to prepare each student to successfully complete the minimum competency test for graduation. In addition to the four teachers and five aides funded by Title I, the Assistant Superintendent for Instruction doubles as the Director of Title I. One-half of his salary is paid by Title I. Title I also funds a parttime clerk at the Central Office to handle the multitude of paper work required for the program. To further insure that local Title I programs appropriately serve the needs of the eligible children, a local parent advisory council (PAC) is elected by the public. Ten parents, a guidance counselor, and two teachers elected by the PTA currently serve on the PAC. The Title I director serves as an exofficio member and advisor. The major task of the PAC is to advise the school board, through the Title I Director, on Title I matters. It meets at least four times annually. Actions by this PAC include class visitation, analysis of current programs, perusal of Title I applications and evaluation of recommendations for new programs; The PAC Chairman (a parent) sits on the Division-wide Standards of Quality Advisory Council as spokesman for the PAC. Title I is designed to bring about changes in the lives of ;ducationally disadvantaged students. Substantial gain has been made in Rappahannock County but efforts will continue to improve the program. Additional programs are being considered. With each application and evaluation report, each PAC meeting, and each Title I staff meeting, new ideas surface. One idea that keeps coming up is “what about volunteers?” There is always a need for someone to provide specific drill on the multiplication tables for a student or a specific drill in vocabulary, assistance in grading papers, etc. If there is a question about something you would like to know or do not understand about Title I, the way it works or its goals, or if you would like to volunteer as little as 20 minutes a week of your time, contact one of the Title I teachers at the elementary or high school or call the Director at the School Board office at 987-8773. Scouts Support Olympics Rappahannock Boy Scouts joined other area troops over the weekend at a camporee in Luray designed to support the 1980 U. S. Olympic Team. As part of *,the “Olympic Team Good Turn” Fall Camporee, scouts competed on a one mile obstacle course designed by 10 local troops. The Olympic Good Turn program is currently being sponsored throughout the U. S. by the Boy Scouts of America and the Coca Cola Company. Its aims are threefold: —to provide every Boy Scout a challenging physical fitness activity, —to allow each scout to make a personal contribution of $1 to the U. S. Olympic team and earn an Olympic Good Turn Patch, —to make scouts aware of service to others and pride in America. Local groups that took part in the camporee included Troop 123 from Washington with leaders Buddy Bywaters and James Shaw and unit commissioner “Yogi” Bear, Troop 142 from Boston-Castleton with leader Gene Fisher, Troop 36 from Flint Hill with leaders Paul Nichols and R. A. Baines and Troop 65 from Sperryville with leader Sam Aylor. r Deadline Nears For Veterans The Department of Defense reminds veterans separated prior to 1965 with Undesirable Discharges, that a request for review of the discharge for upgrading must be filed prior to January 1, 1980. Veterans may obtain information on how and where to apply by contacting State Veterans offices, veterans organizations or the Red Cross. Additional information may be obtained from military personnel offices. Gibbs Finishes Basic Course Navy Seaman Wesley D. Gibbs, son of Dwayne M. and Elizabeth M.
