VIn3HU STj>TE LIBRAS! Collisions Reported Four traffic mishaps involving deer have been reported by Trooper R. A. Baines. According to the officer, Ruth Sullivan of Warrenton operating a 73 Chevrolet struck a deer November 22 on Route 211 east of Amissville. Damage to the car was estimated at $350. The same day a deer was struck on the Washington by-pass of Route 211 by Linda Ramer of Culpeper who was driving a 74 Jeep. Damage was set at $250 to this vehicle, said Baines. And again November 22 the third animal was hit on the Viewtown road by Loretta Gray of Rixeyville in a 76 Chevrolet which sustained damage in the amount of $450. November 24 on Route 522 north of Flint Hill Sammy Foreback of Flint Hill in a 79 Chevrolet pickup struck a deer and damage to the truck was estimated at $375. Friday morning about 1:30 a.m., two vehicles collided on Route 623 between Washington and Sperryville. Involved were Donald Jenkins of Washington in a 79 Ford Bronco and Donald Beahm also of Washington in a 70 Chevrolet pickup. According to Trooper Baines, Beahm lost control of his vehicle and struck a tree and Jenkins struck the Beahm vehicle in the rear. Beahm was cited for reckless driving and Jenkins was charged with following too closely, said Baines. Susan Jenkins, a passenger with her husband, was taken to the hospital by Washington Rescue Squad. Catherine Howen of Charlottesville was charged with reckless driving as the result of a collision with Paul Morawski of Alexandria on November 23, on Route 211 at Rediviva. The Howen vehicle, a 75 Opel, was totaled in the collision when she veered into the path of the 1978 Toyota driven by Morawski which had an estimated $1200 in damages. Pledges Cooperation In anticipation of sharply increased costs for operating heating systems this winter. Northern Piedmont Electric Cooperative announced it will be cooperating with its members who need assistance through a program made available by the Virginia Department of Welfare. The program is designed to help those families who have unpaid fuel bills up to $200 from December 1 through March 3. In addition to cash payments for fuel assistance, the program will include aid in materials and services such as winterization improvements and advice on conservation. A family of four with an income of less than $8,375 a year or an individual earning less than $4,250 a year would be within the income limits set by the state. Other income requirements vary depending on the number of persons in the household. Persons who think they may require help and need information on whether their family will qualify should call the Rappahannock Welfare Office at 675-3613. The State Office of Emergency and Energy Services has a toll free Energy Hot Line which can provide answers to individual home energy questions as well as a Free "Do-ItYourself’ illustrated guide to improving home energy efficiency.

Planners Question Co-op Rezoning By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock N**wh Stuff Writer At their November 21 meeting, the Rappahannock planners postponed action on a request from the Culpeper Farmers Cooperative to rezone 9.66 acres behind the new Co-op building on Route 211 from agriculture to commercial. Their objections to approving the rezoning application centered around the amount of land involved and the lack of a specific use for the property that would require commercial zoning. ‘‘In the past, whenever we’ve rezoned land, we’ve had an intended use for it,” stated planner Newbill Miller. “Legally, we have to ask why the agricultural zoning is not appropriate now and why you need the zoning changed,” he told Bill Fletcher, attorney representing the Co-op. “Does the whole area have to be rezoned? Is it all or nothing or will a portion of it suit you?” asked Miller, noting that “9.66 acres is an awful lot of land.” The planners also emphasized that most of the uses suitable to agribusiness and allowed by right in a commercial zone are also allowed in an agricultural zone with a special use permit. In response to the questions and objections, Fletcher agreed to consult with the Co-ops board of directors and meet again with the planning commission at a special session set for 7:30 p.m. November 28. In his opening remarks, last Wednesday Fletcher described the Co-op as benefit to the community and one of the largest industries in Rappahannock. He said that approval of the rezoning would provide the Co-op with “additional storage area” and would enable the business to give greater service. No Plana Gordon Thornhill, manager, of the* Rappahannock branch of the Culpeper Farmers Cooperative, was the only speaker in favor of the rezoning application. He told the planners that the Co-op had “no plans at this time” for expansion “but if we got this (rezoning), we’d have the land where we could do it.” Fletcher interjected that approval from the board of zoning appeals would have to be secured before any structure could be built on the property, even if the commercial rezoning was granted. Maintaining that the commercial rezoning would give the Co-op the right to put in a fertilizer plant, planner E. P. Luke asked Fletcher if the board of directors would agree to prepare an environmental impact statement should such a plant be build “15, 20 years from now, whenever the time might be.” Fletcher replied that he personally agreed with Luke’s request and abhorred anything like a fertilizer plant coming in to Rappahannock County. He added, however, that a stipulation for an environmental impact statement would have to come from the board of zoning appeals. “This is going to come before the board of supervisors and the supervisors do have that power (to insist on an environmental impact statement),” Luke countered. He maintained that the planners, if they recommended that the supervisors approve the rezoning, could make their recommendation contingent on the Cp-op submitting an EIP with any plans for a fertilizer plant. Miller noted that the requirements in article 13 of the county’s zoning ordinance cover most of the criteria included in an environmental impact statement. “Col. Luke is not demanding, he’s just asking for a gentleman’s agreement with the board of directors,” said Miller. Fletcher agreed to relay the request to the directors. He asked, however, that the planners take some sort of action on the rezoning application without waiting for the board’s response. He reported that the Coop’s option to buy the property expires on December 31. He added that >1 the seller won’t extend the deadline, apparently for tax reasons. Luke asked if all the adjoining landowners had been notified of the rezoning request and the November 21 public hearing. Planning commission secretary Cheryl Taylor answered that she'd sent registered letters and received nothing—either pro or con—in response.

New owner Candy Coombs has her Christmas tree decorated with hand-crafted ornaments and twinkling with lights, surrounded by gift ideas, cards, and decorations.

If the names of Rappahannock’s community helpers are ever gathered, George Muth of Woodville will be a leading contender for “Public Minded Citizen Number One.” For George Muth, volunteerism is a way of life. Considering all the organizations, boards and foundations to which he belongs, it’s a wonder that he gets along on 24 hours a day. To find the time for everything he’s involved with, he’s learned to squeeze the most out of each second. “I’ve told Mr. Muth that he’s going to meet himself coming home one of these days,”. said Florence Williamson, Woodville’s first lady of herbs and the Muths’ friend and neighbor for more than a quarter of a century. George Muth, a native of Washington, D. C., born in 1906, came to Rappahannock with his wife Lydagene as a weekend resident in 1951 and moved to the county full-time in 1972. Since joining the community, he’s served on the Rappahannock County Board of Zoning Appeals, the county planning commission and the board of electoral trustees. Muth is a trustee of the county library, vice-chairman for Culpeper Memorial Hospital and past chairman of the RappahannockRapidan Mental health and Mental Retardation Community Services Board. More on the social side, he’s president of the Rappahannock Hunt and kennels the hounds at his home, Stonehaven, near Woodville. “I don’t ride though. I haven’t ridden for years. I’m much better at telling others what to do,” he added with a chuckle. George Muth's involvement here, however, is just the tip of the iceberg. Until he retired four years ago, Muth ran an art and drafting supply company two blocks from the White House. With his full-time business, he also managed to be a full-time volunteer. D. C. Civic Leader “I knew George some 25 years ago when he was a civic leader here in Washington,” said Jack Weaver of WMAL Radio 63’s Harden and Weaver Show. “I remember he was president of the National Arts Club and president of the Rotary Club—a really good guy and a pleasure to be around. He was untiring in his devotion to the community and inspired folks to get off their chairs and contribute, especially in a volunteer way.” As a Rotarian, Muth was primarily involved in volunteer work with servicemen, especially in organizing recreational activities. He set up hospital shows for veterans, scheduling as many as three bands and 22 variety acts per week at Forest Glen, a convalescent center for the wounded. "We had Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Perry Como, Red Skelton—everyone you could think of,” said Muth. The presentation of the hospital shows took Tuesday nights with hours snatched during the entire week for planning. On Wednesdays, Muth worked at another Rotary project as house manager of the Stage Door Canteen, located in a theater across the street from the White House. There, he labored at the nearly impossible task of keeping junior hostesses, servicemen and chaperones—“Old Biddies,” according to Muth—all smiling. With a heavy load ot government contracts, the war years were busy for Muth. But his overtime didn't end at the office or even with Rotary Club. He was a deputy air raid warden for Montgomery County, Maryland, chief of an air observation post and also served on the D. C. District Court’s rationing appeals board. On top of all his special wartime volunteer efforts, he continued to donate his time as president of the Boy’s Club of Washington, D. C., vice-president of the Washington Society for the Blind, the National Capitol Area Council of the Boy Scoiits, of America and the National Travelers Aid Society and president of the _ Washington Travelers Aid. t His association with Travelers Aid goes back 50 years. Primarily intended as a service for transients. Travelers Aid offered help to folks who broke an arm or leg. fell ill or lost a wallet while traveling. Muth recalled that his father-in-law, a justice with the United States Tax Court, left his wallet underneath a pillow on a train and was helped by Travelers Aid. The organization is now active primarily in airports. Muth added, noting that it had also provided 40 to 50 bunks for transient servicemen during the war. Gallaudct First Despite all his activities with other service groups, the highlight of George Muth’s volunteer efforts has remained his work with Gallaudet College. “I'd hate to say how long I've been there.’’ said Muth. who serves as chairman of the board of directors for Gallaudet. He recently turned in his resignation as a member of (Continued on Page 4)

Another key part of the family operation are August Fuel Taxes Up Automotive fuels tax collections for August were $24,553,298, up 7.5 per cent over July figures, but down 4.2 per cent from August 1978 totals, according to Vern L. Hill, commissioner of the Division of Motor Vehicles. Taxes were collected on 272,687,268 gallons of automotive fuels for August, an increase of 18,975,740 gallons over July, but a decrease of 12,028,398 gallons or 4.4 per cent, compared to August 1978. Automotive fuels tax collections for the first eight months of 1979 totalled $182,526,009, down 2 per cent from the same time period last year. Collections do not reflect gasoline consumption at the pump since the nine cents per gallon tax is paid to the Commonwealth at the wholesale level. These funds are deposited in the state’s Highway Maintenance and Construction Fund.

(Continued from Page 1) Betty Garofano, landowner • at Blue Rock Farm within “stepping distance” of the Co-op, asked if a fertilizer plant could actually be built if the rezoning to commercial went through. ‘They’re not requesting that,” Luke answered. “But they could?” Mrs. Garofano repeated. ‘‘Yes . . . It’s a logical associated business with the Co-op,” replied Luke. Industrial Needed Miller disagreed. “I don’t think they could put a fertilizer plant in an area zoned B-2 (commercial), even with a special use permit from the board of zoning appeals ... I don’t see anything of a real heavy nature that could be done (with commercial zoning). They’d need to be rezoned to industrial for a fertilizer plant or a concrete batch plant,” Miller said. He again asked Fletcher why the Co-op’s board didn’t consider the property’s current agricultural zoning to be appropriate since the ordinance allows “buildings for bulk storage of forest and agricultural products and directly related equipment” in an ag zone with a special use permit. Fletcher replied that the Co-op would need more land at the rear of the new building for business purposes if the highway department took frontage from the property in widening Route 211. If the company’s business continues to grow, he said, it may need “an area to expand to” in 15 to 20 years. Fletcher noted that the Co Special Olympians Enjoy Skating Party By Betsy Coffey, Special Ed. teacher By the time we arrived at Dominion Roller-Skating Rink for the Special Olympians Skating Party, the kids from the six area counties were already on the floor in full force. Gazing over the 175 children, teeps and adults, it was hard to distinguish those identified as “handicapped” from their volunteers and teachers. All we noticed were the whirling bodies, flying skates and (sometimes!) contorted faces of the skaters as they passed by. The excitement in the air was contagious and we feverishly pitched our shoes and scrambled for our skates. After helping put the laces through umpteen dozen holes, the Rappahannock contingent made its way to the floor, the teachers clinging to their charges as tigjitly as their charges clung to them. After a few rounds of frustrated falls, the announcers told us to clear the floor, the “performers” were ready. What a treat! In addition to the skating privilege, we were fortunate enough to be entertained by two semiprofessional competitive skaters, Sharon Wyatt and Steve Forestner. Wyatt, who is a member of a Richmond competitive skating club, teaches the Inter-mediate Educable Mentally Retarded class at A. G. Richardson Elementary School in Culpeper. She has Daltons Have Daughter Mr. and Mrs. Eric Dalton of Rixeyville announce the birth of a daughter, Dorian Lockhart, born November 16, 1979, at Fauquier Hospital, Warrenton. Grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Eric Dalton Sr., of Gretna and Mr. and Mrs. John Utz of Dunn Loring. Mrs. Leona Hogan of Springfield, Mo., is the greatwandmnthpr been skating with her partner, Steve Forestner, since 1971; they placed 12th in the 1974 National Roller-Skating Championship in the junior dance division. Forestner currently teaches roller-skating at a Richmond rink, but is considering coming to the Dominion Rink in Culpeper to teach •next year. All of us watched raptly, amazed that they could make something that was causing us our share of bumps and bruises seem so beautifully simple. As we tried the fancy turns and figures ourselves, we quickly came to appreciate the hard work and arduous hours professional skaters endure. We found it took all of our attention and energy just to stay “rear up” and roll. In addition to the fun of skating with good friends in a light-hearted atmosphere, we were able to disco around the rink to the accompaniment of two fast talking rink “D.J.’s” who spun disco music faster than we could snap our fingers. The concession stand provided a break for revitalizing our sore muscles and wounded egos. It goes without saying that such an enjoyable afternoon wculd not have been possible except for the generosity of Dominion’s owner, Bob Boyd, and his son, William Boyd, manager. Dominion Skating Rink offers a full size hardwood skating floor, wellstocked concession stand and fair prices. Events and parties such as the roller-skating party are scheduled for all children, teens and adults from Special Education programs in Culpeper, Fauquier, Louisa, Orange, Madison, and Rappahannock counties over the next seven months. Sponsored by Area 17 Special Olympics, outings are planned to encourage athletic participation in a non-competitive atmosphere.

As option buyer on the Snead’s property, the Co-op’s directors want the rezoning "so they know what they’re buying. They don’t want to buy a pig in a poke,” Fletcher continued. He noted that the county would benefit from higher taxes on the property if the commercial rezoning is approved. “You have more of an option or as much of an option in an agriculture district as the zone you’ve asked to be rezoned to,” Miller maintained. Fletcher countered that the Co-op’s directors, in requesting the rezoning, were “trying to be good businessmen and trying to be prepared.” Commercial Unnecessary “But I don’t think the B-2 (commercial) zoning accomplishes much — if anything—more than the agricultural zoning you’ve got now,” Miller responded. “I just wonder how much planning you’re doing when you get rezoned to B-2. Fletcher recalled that the Co-op was first located in the old Sperryville Methodist Church and then the packing shed before recently moving to new quarters to accommodate an expanding business. “Everywhere I look in that building, I see something stored. It looks pretty full to me . . . Ten, 15 years from now, they may need much more room.” Luke told Fletcher that the requirements for screening, as well as other criteria, are stiffer in a commercial than in an agricultural zone under the county’s ordinance. “I just want you to know what you’re getting,” he warned. “Do you want to go back and talk to your clients?” asked planning commission chairman Herbert Barksdale. “He wants our recommendation, no matter what it is,” Miller interjected. Fletcher agreed, noting that he then had the option of dropping the rezoning request or going on with the application to the board of supervisors. “I appreciate ? what you’ve pointed out,” he addecj. Miller asked if the application couldn’t be amended to include less acreage with only® portion of the lot rezoned to commercial. Rezoning the entire 9.66 acre tract has been “the primary concern of people who’ve talked to me,” Miller said. "I’m not authorized to Don't Forget The Gong Show Sat., Dec. 1 7:30 p.m. Elementary School make an agreement of that type,” Fletcher replied. No Second Luke moved to recommend approval of the rezoning to the supervisors ‘‘with the provision that the Co-op takes another look to see if they want the property to stay in an agricultural category.” There was no second to the motion from either Pete Estes or Miller, the only other two commission members besides chairman Barksdale at the meeting. “I want to discuss it a little more . . . The thing that concerns me is the 9.66 acres,” said Miller. “That’s a lot of land for no purpose other than the right to do what they want to do when the time comes.” “I’m just curious as to whether the board of directors understands this situation,” said Estes. "Personally, I'd rather have the land zoned agricultural and fight this fight 15 years down the road with lower taxes in the meantime.” he added. Estes said the Co-op will be required to comply “100 per cent” with the zoning ordinance if the commercial rezoning is approved. Enforcement “is not going to be a half-measure,” he warned, noting that compliance will be enforced as soon as the land is rezoned, riot when commercial use begins. ‘‘I’m not sure that’s correct,” Miller interjected, maintaining that the Co-op wouldn’t have to comply with provisions on screening, noise, dust, etc., included in article 13 until the land is actually used. “All you’ve got to do is put one post back there to store it . . . Then you have to comply with article 13,” Luke contended. Fletcher agreed to have an answer from the Co-op’s board of directors on all the areas covered by the planners in time for the special meeting set for November 28. He was also asked by the planners to bring a majority of the board with him to the Wednesday night session. '_A* Culpeper Art Co. 204 N. Main St. Culpeper, Va.

MAIN ST.-CULPEPER By DEBBIE DeBERGH and RHONDA BROWN The DAR Good Citizen of Rappahannock High School is Marion Eastham. She was chosen by her peers and teachers. We would like to express our congratulations. The teacher of the month for November is Miss Stewart. She teaches special education and is one of our new teachers. The boys’ basketball teams played their second scrimmage game against Brentsville. The Varsity won their game with the score 74-56. The JV team also won their game. The Thanksgiving assembly was a great success. The choir sang for the students and teachers and the Rev. David Moore spoke on the real meaning of Thanksgiving. Later there was a class competition game and the teachers even had their own team. The idea of the game was to quickly put on outer clothes and race to the end of the gymnasium. All of the members of the two teams had to do this. The. winning team was the* sophomore clas:. Members received school banners and a card board turkey as their prizes. The SCA has established intra-mural basketball games for the students. The various teams will compete during mornings before classes or during their lunch periods. The students seem to like the idea, considering the great turnouts. The SCA is also serving food and drinks in the morning on Fridays. The second six weeks ended Tuesday, November 27. The boys’ first season basketball game will be December 5 against Clark County. It will be a home game, so come out and cheer the team on. Mysterious Person in November 8 issue was Richie Burke.

Jf £ REALTOR >ar J rot PROPERTY TAX LOSES AT POLlJ According to a recent survey by Opinion Research Corporation for the U.S. Government on the average citizen's opinion on taxes, it will come as no surprise that the results showed that the least popular tax of all was the property tax. The purpose of the survey was to find out attitudes on the proposed value-added tax, property tax, income tax and sales tax. Although no particular tax received a resounding approval, it was a clearcut message that American's major complaint with our fiscal system lies with the property tax. When queried as to which tax was the “least fair", 45 percent selected the property tax. the federal income tax placed a far second with a 19 percent disapproval. On the subject of raising more state revenue. 71 percent preferred increasing taxes on sales or income. On raising more federal funds, 70 percent of those polled indicated the best method would be to eliminate tax loopholes.

NOVEMBER 29,1979 Spend At Home With Thanksgiving over, and the turkey carcass consigned to the soup jxit, it’s officially time to start thinking about Christmas shopping. This year, we urge people to look at home first. Local residents usually leave Rappahannock’s little country shops to the tourists and head out for the big city or syburban malls to fight traffic, crowds and harried sales personnel, losing their holiday spirit along the way. We have a bounty of unique and original gifts right here on our doorsteps. Crafts, antiques, clothes, l)ooks and handmade and imported items too numerous to list are available in Rappahannock stores. The benefits of buying at home are many. Dollars spent in the community stay in the community. One out of every four cents of sales tax collected here is returned by the state to support our schools. Thriving local businesses provide jobs for the people who live in the county. With headlines screaming of the troubles in Iran, everyone is more aware of imported oil—the axe held over our heads by the middle eastern nations. President Carter has asked all Americans to conserve fuel and lessen our dependence on foreign imports by driving three fewer miles per day. Shopping in Rappahannock instead of Manassas, Fairfax or Tysons Comer will save those three miles and then some. Equally as important, local shopping is hassle free shopping with no crowds, no traffic and polite shop keepers ready and eager to be of service. To help new comers who aren’t familiar with Rappahannock or old timers who just haven’t noticed, the Rappahannock News will cover county stores in a shopping guide series over the next three weeks. We’ll give you the hours, the locations abd a brief rundown on the type of gifts stocked for businesses in Washington, Sperryville, Flint Hill and Amissville. Try them first. They 11 help you keep the holiday spirit right here at home. Support PEC The Rappahannock Community has had much to be grateful for this holiday season, but perhaps most important are those enduring assets and values which carry on into the years ahead, and which too often go unnoticed. As our County prepares to enter a new decade, it is timely that we take notice of some of today’s resources that we will increasingly rely on in the future. First, we need to give thanks for our very special environment—the heritage of unique natural resources and generations of careful stewardship. Few places in our country can match the beauty of Rappahannock’s landscape or the vitality and sense of community in its rural way of life. Second, we need to give thanks for the active concern which Rappahannock residents have for community issues. For years, public participation at government hearings and meetings has been increasing, especially when land use and environmental topics are discussed. Increased public participation in community issues did not come about by chance. Rather it is the result of increasing dedication on the part of caring citizens and'organizations. One such organization deserves special mention and thanks. The Piedmont Environmental Council, based in Warrenton and serving a nine-county region, has worked for seven years to conserve our environment and increase public awareness and involvement. In an era when loud calls for either “no growth” or “all-out growth” have dominated planning issues, PEC has worked quietly to promote reasonable alternatives. It has consistently spoken out for controlled growth that will accommodate future needs while conserving our natural heritage. PEC deserves the support of all Rappahannock residents now as it enters into its eighth year. With your help, PEC and other concerned community organizations will enable us to give thanks in future years—both for the quality of our environment and for the level of citizen participation. With their help, ours will indeed be a heritage for the future. READY FOR THE HOLIDAYS—The Christmas tree in Candy Coombs’ Country Store is decked with handcrafted ornaments. —Rappahannock News Phntn/S. Latham Our Rappahannock Heritage Avoid The Holiday Flu December is known for its holidays, festivities, cold weather ailments and the “Holiday Flu.” The Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic would like you to know there are things you can do to prevent or minimize its effects. The Christmas Holiday Season traditionally stands out as one of the year’s busiest periods for mental health facilities. Psychiatric hospitals have their highest admission rates, “Hot Lines” receive more crisis calls, and suicides occur at their second highest rate of the year (Valentines Day has the dubious destinction of being number 1.) At a time when we want most to be in good spirits, there are many who will experience varying degrees of the ‘‘Holiday Flu.” The “symptoms” of the psychological equivalent of influenza typically include a lack of enthusiasm, a general feeling of “Bah Humbug” with its accompanying irritableness, and thoughts of being “un”: unhappy, unloved, unneeded, unappreciated and the like. Sound familiar? As you brace for winter, you may want to anticipate your needs for emotional long johns, also. While the Holiday Flu often catches people unexpectedly, there are preventive steps you can take to avoid it, or at least to soften its effects. A look at its usual source will help identify what these are. Typically, the origins of the Holiday Flu go back to unmet expectations that the holidays will be a happy, problem-free time of being close to others, of feeling loved and needed. Advertisers hold out the hope that the “un—” feelings mentioned above will miraculously disappear if you buy their product. Even those who no longer believe in Santa seem to hang on to a fantasy that life will be jolly during the holidays. When these expectations fail to materialize, the emotional letdown that results often develops into a case of the Holiday Flu. Review your memories of last year's holiday season. Were there times that were particularly stressful or when you felt a letdown? Perhaps it ■ was the pressure of being around certain relatives or the hollow feeling that hit the day after Christmas. Go over the critical period in your mind. What was happening at the time? Who else was involved? Is the same situation likely to arise this holiday season? Have events happened during the past year which may create new difficulties such as a death in the familf, a divorce, a decrease m income, or a move to a new location? If you can identify potential areas that may leave you susceptible to a case of the Holiday Flu, begin now to plan how you will deal with it. Try talking with a family member or friend about ways that you might anticipate the situation beforehand. For example, if being alone is your vulnerable spot, begin now to make plans to be with other people during the holidays. Can you avoid the situation altogether by modifying your holiday plans? For example, did going to too many parties leave you without enough emotional reserves to take, care of family demands on your time and energy? Assess how realistic your expectations are for the holiday ' season. Dreams are nice to have, but be careful not to condure your hopes with what experience tells you may be more likely to happen. For some, this kind of forethought and planning will be sufficient to ward off the Holiday Flu. For others who are not able to avoid it entirely, this kind of preventive ettot may nave the effect of reducing the symptoms to an occasional hardy sneeze. In spite of such efforts, however, some people will still catchy the Holiday Flu. Penicillin will not help itf but a phone call to the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic might will provide the relief you need. Staff are available or on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. For help in having a happy flu-free holiday, call 6753329. County Dancers Perform The Last Minute Wood Company, a dance-theatre group from Rappahannock County, will perform their new piece, “Seven Dreams and an Awakening,” at the Four-County Players in Barboursville on December 2 at 8 p.m. This is the third year that the Last Minute Wood Company has produced an original dance-drama and performed it in the area. The group is directed by Sally Nash in Washington, where she teaches modern dance classes.

C. “Seven Dreams and an Awaking” is based on Ms. Nash’s dreams and she dances the lead role supported by a cast of five. The music, sets and lighting design have been created by artists who are based in the county.

The Little Fox Muth Gives Energy (Continued from Page 1) the Rappahannock planning commission because planning sessions interfered with Gallaudet meetings. “Gallaudet came first when there was a conflict. Gallaudet always comes first,” he explained. Muth sees Gallaudet as "the center of deaf learning and research for the entire world.” He’s watched the institution grow to include a college, high school and elementary school. Through his association with Gallaudet, Muth and his wife had the privilege of knowing Helen Keller and visiting with her whenever she came to Washington. As chairman of the board for a private institution that receives public grants, he must appear before Congress to justify Gallaudet’s budget. He also steers the board through an inch-thick agenda at every meeting, woricing with the deans, president, vice-president and business managers of the college as well as U. S. Senators and Representatives and officials from the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. On his weekly visits to the Washington, D. C., campus, Muth communicates with only a smattering of sign language. “I know enough to understand a little. I don’t have the time to take time to learn it properly. Fortunately, I have two interpreters at my disposal, Muth added with a rueful smile. Attention to Galladuet’s new building program currently absorbs a lot of his time. Muth explained that the college is expanding, particularly its dorm space, to house infants born deaf as a result of the Rubella measles epidemic in the lSf60’s. “They’re now entering college,” he noted. Although he’s seen almost three-quarters of a century, George Muth shows no signs of slowing down. When he retired from his role as an executive in the art and drafting supply company, it simply gave him more time for volunteer work. “I hope he’s healthy and happy down there in Rappahannock; I’m sure he’s busy enough!” said Muth’s old friend Jack Weaver. “All my life, I’ve been interested in doing things for people,” Muth explained. It doesn’t look as if he has any intentions of stopping any Time soon. Don’t Forget The Gong Show Sat., Dec. 1 7:30 p.m. Elementary School

It used to work like this. When moving day came, you’d move everything out... except the phones. They stayed behind. We’re changing that. Now when you move or discontinue phone service, we are asking you to return your phones to your local Centel Business Office. You will then get a $4.00 credit for your first phone return.

The idea behind our new Phone Return Program is this: Centel won’t have to send an installer out to pick up the phone. And that means a sizable manpower savings to us. And when we save money, you save money on your rates. It is simply a more emcient system for all of us. If yours is a jack-phone, just unplug it.

Most of us know that tears cleanse our eyes, help to remove the common irritants and debris that drifts onto the eye surface. Tears are the body’s natural warriors against the germs contained in the dirt which lands on the eye. So much for tears as an aid to physical health - how do tears help emotional health? Tears are often silent distress signals. A person can cry as a way of asking for help, thereby giving those around him an effective message that something is wrong. Infants have long been acknowleged as having the ability to communicate by crying. Ask any mother and she can tell you that your child gives several different messages by crying - there is the cry of pain, the cry of hunger, the cry for attention. Once a child learns verbal communication skills, the use of tears in order to deliver messages is discouraged. We have all heard, “Big boys don’t cry.” The stereotype is that grown people don’t cry. Perhaps adults are expected to be able to verbalize requests for attention, or ask for help, or sustain pain. But what about the situations in which people are too ashamed or are otherwise unable to ask for assistance. Tears may be the only way to communicate in a given situation. Tears may be an emotional safety valve. By crying we acknowledge to ourselves, even if to no other person, that we are experiencing pain. The pain we feel may be physical (a smashed finger), or grief (a loved one has n Meeting Set grow, as evidenced by the popularity of VDACS “pickyour-own” programs and requests for assistance to the Virginia Tech Extenstion Service.

Tears have been viewed as a beginning step in both physical and emotional healing. When a person loses a limb, an arm or leg, in an accident, there is the physical pain associated with loss. Crying acknowledged this distress. Many have found that they are more relaxed after a good cry - refreshed and ready to carry on with the adjustments which are now needed because of the change in their lives. Tears may well be nature’s way of getting us the attention we need-either from ourselves or from others. Have you been really uptight, have you been unable to relax enough to carry on your life’s work to your satisfactions? Maybe you need to take the time for a good cry. If you need help releasing your tears, try slicing an onion. If you have felt emotional pain or distress for some time and have not found relief from a good cry, perhaps talking with a trusted friend, your minister, or a counselor at the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic would help. The Clinic’s emergency answering service can put you in touch with a counselor at any time of the day or evening, just call 675-3329. speeding 74/56, $38 fine $18 costs. William B.
