Mrs. Jacquelynn Estes of Estes assumed her duties there last week. A native of Falls Church and graduate of Falls Church High School, she attended George Washington University for two and a half years. She has been enfployed with the postal system in Falls Church for about four years, first as a route carrier and then in a supervisory position in the carriers section. She was formerly Jacquelynn Derrow. “I have never actually been a postal clerk or worked at the window, but I have dealt with the paperwork and the problems. In the Falls Church office there was just more of it (paperwork) and the problems were larger,” Estes said. “Today I’ve been on my own since 10 o'clock. Being new I find myself double checking the weight and postage on packages and the people are being patient with me while I figure and refigure to be sure,” she continued. “It will take a while until I get used to it.” “Though I’ve been in the area off and on since the late 60’s, 1 don’t know many people,” she said. “In the summer I sometimes came to Amissville and worked with horses 6n the V. M. Johnson farm, and while here met by husband, Adolph Estes. We were married four years ago, February 14." Sewer Plans Okayed The Sperryville sewer system njsved a step closer to completion wi$h the Rappahannock Water and Sewer Authority’s approval two weeks ago of plans submitted by the engineering firm. Maurice Biddle, chairman of the WSA. reported that the plans have now been forwarded to the Health Department and State Water Control Board.. After getting the okay from state authorities, they will be sent on to the Corps of Engineers and the Departments of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) for approval. Biddle estimated that the sewer system project will be advertized for construction bids on about May 15. He noted that the project can’t go out for bids until enginnering plans have been approved by all state and federal agencies involved. "For the past four years I have been commuting to Falls Church, carpooling with some folks from below Warrenton”, continued Estes. “It’s so nice not to have to make that trip daily and I’ll have time, 1 hope, to pursue my hobby with the horses.” According to Mrs. Estes, she applied for the Amissville post office position when it first became open after David Yokum was transferred away. No action was taken and last July the position was readvertised. She again applied but didn't hear anything until about the day before they called her and told her to be in Amissville the following day. “1 like it here and the people are nice—friendly and less hurried than in the area closer to the city,”, she said. “I’ve known Red Payne, one of the rural carriers here, for about ten years," Estes was pleased that the office personnel, Virginia Sheele and Eleanor Atkins, in addition to rural route carriers Elmer Jenkins and Payne, had been so helpful. Mr. and Mrs. Estes reside in Amissville and he works at Estes where is part farmer and part mechanic. They have cows, horses and colts on their property which adjoins his home place. The village was named for his ancestors, but it no longer has a post office. WVFD Tackles Redskins The Washington Volunteer Fire Department’s suicide squad will take on Redskin players from the “other” Washington in a benefit basketball game against the WMAL Oneders scheduled for Wednesday, February 13, at 8 p.m. in the RCHS gymnasium. The idea for a suicide squad came out of the WVFD’s efforts to find new and more interesting ways to raise money for the fire department's support. Squad members include “Big Bad Brad” Fisher, Jerry “Dr. Jay” Martin, "Mad Dog” Dave Henry, Jackie "Big E” Estes, “Magic” Roger Roach, and Bob “The Bullet” Haase. The WMAL Oneders will send radio sportscaster Johnny Holliday, Washington Redskins Mark Moseley and Mark Murphy, former Redskin and current Los Angeles Ram Eddie Brown and other professional athletes onto the court. Tickets at $3.50 for adults and $3 for students will be sold at the door. Children under seven years will be admitted free. — Rappahannock News Photo/S. Latham MRS. JACQUELYNN ESTES has been nam<«d postmaster for the Amissville post office and has assumed her duties there. She previously was employed with the Falls Church post office. She is married to Adolph Estes and they live at Estes. Hertz Named To J&D Court After Hot Caucus Battles Robertson, Alexander Assume Bench By LINDA B. KINES Arundel Newspapers, Richmond Bureau After a hot battle in the Democratic caucus, Rappahannock ended up with a county appointee to fill one of three vacant judgeships on the 20th Judicial benches in Circuit and General District Court. Warrenton attorney and town vice mayor W. Shore Robertson was uncontested as the successor for retired Circuit Court Judge Rayner V. Snead. And John Alexander, also a Warrenton attorney, with equal ease was named to succeed retired General District Court Judge William W. Carson Jr. But before the 1980 General Assembly appointed A. Burke Hertz of Rappahannock the District 20 Judge for Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court on Monday, Del. Earl E. Bell (D-Hamilton) had stopped speaking to* Sen. Charles E. Waddell (D-Sterling). The two came face to face at the/Capitol at a Dulles Airport Commission meeting after the judgeship election. They smiled and shook hands, despite behind the scenes manuevers, last minute turn arounds and possible bitterness over the judgeship battle. Hertz, a Rappahannock attorney formerly from Fairfax County, replaces the ailing judge William F. Moffett Jr. of Rappahannock. After separate emergency meetings of the Loudoun and Fauquier bar associations last Friday morning, candidates with their unanimous endorsements spead to Richmond for afternoon in Hoffer Prefers Country Hassles Over New York’s Glitter By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock N**w* Staff V rit#*r For years, William Hoffer’s agent tried to convince him to abandon his home in the hills and head for New York, arguing that struggling young writers had to be where the action is in order to crack the big time publishing world. Hoffer ignored his agent's advice and stayed in the little green A-frame home one mountain over from Chester Gap. There, miles and life styles away from the heart of the literary scene, he finished a potential non-fiction best seller that has been picked as both a main selection for the Literary Guild and an alternate for Book-of-theMonth Club. “I think my career went better because I didn’t follow the parade of writers to New York” Hoffer said in a recent interview. “My agent thinks I’m out of touch with life in New York. Well, I think tjie people in New York are out of touch with life here in the country.” If the acceptance of his latest effort is any indication^ Hoffer doesn’t need to pound' the city pavements, hawking the wares of his typewriter at the major publishing houses. Instead, he can sit back in his wood heated cabin and wait for the editors to climb two miles up to make him an offer. Hoffer's newest success, "Saved!”, is the story of the wreck of the Andrea Doria, her collision in 1956 with a Swedish liner off Nantucket Island that took the lives of 51 people. It’s not suggested reading Market Plans Auction Rappahannock Farmers Market members made plans for an auction on February 7 and heard a financial report at their regular meeting held last Thursday. Mrs. Marie Atkins, treasurer, reported on funds raised from the sale of a quilt and ham and from a bake sale. / Mrs. Atkins announced that auctioneer John Walker Jenkins has offered his services free for the February 7th auction of articles which market members and friends will donate. Those desiring to contribute items for the sale should deliver them to Jenkins Auction House in Washington before that date. An audit committee has been named and is composed of Don Kent and Truman Keesey. Plans for an annual meeting are being formulated at which time officers will be elected. The date will be announced. Mrs. Pearl Clarke of Amissville has been chosen chairman of the nominations committee and those desiring to make nominations should call her. -nappanaonoct nmnMo/s. uuiam THE SPERRYVILLE BRIDGE is undergoing repairs, but has to be taken apart before it can be reinforced and put into good condition. Highway employees have removed the faulty planks and are now taking up the steel beams which will be replaced with concrete slabs. Work is progressing as planned. for fearful flyers who maintain that ocean liners are safer than supersonic transports. The Andrea Doria wasn’t a worn out freighter. She was the queen of the Italian passenger liners, held by many to be the most beautiful ship in the world. With her original canvases, murals, frescoes, tapestries, sculptures and mirrors, she echoed the glories of the Renaissance. Like the Titantic, she ranked as one of those great ships that couldn't go down. But go down she did, sinking to the bottom of the Atlantic. Inaction And Luck Hoffer relates the string of minor miscalculations, actions and inactions that led to the Andrea Doria’s collision wi^h the Stockholm. Ships veered ever so slightly off course and tried to pass each other on the wrong side. Veteran seamen slept in their bunks while rookies manned tb^ridge and a captain with a docking deadline pushed his ship just a few knots faster than safety called for in the thick fog. In his review of the circumstances, Hoffer doesn’t set the blame for the tragedy squarely on either ship. Instead, he focuses on the final 24 hours prior to the accident and on individual actions—both admirable and reprehensible—that followed the impact. “Saved!” is a tale of disaster and, at the same time, the saga of a miracle, a sea rescue that pulled 1,600 men, women and children from the jaws of death. The cover of "Saved!” carries a drawing of the listing Andrea Doria, life boats loaded and pulling away. Even readers who don’t remember the actual event know the book is about two ships that miss the pass and instead crash in the night. But even with the outcome known. Hoffer still manages to build almost unbearable suspense as he ticks off the minutes and brings the two ocean giants closer and closer. The collision is patterned after the movie “Silver Streak," according to Hofffcr. In the film, a passenger train plows into Central Station in a drawn-out, slow motion sequence. “The crash in my book is written in slow motion,” Hoffer said, adding that it remains his favorite portion of “Saved!” “I reach that point and I still get a tingle up my spine. That’s amazing—that I can get that feeling from reading my own work.” Heroes And Cowards After the two ships hit, Hoffer follows the passengers and crew as they react to the crisis. Some are heroic, risking their lives to help strangers as well as loved ones. Some are cowards, needlessly endangering others as they rush to save themselves. But the heroes and heroines outnumber the bad guys in Hoffer’s retelling. Most of the men and women he introduces are people we'd vv w ..~. There’s Liliana Dooner, a young Italian crossing the Atlantic to meet her American husband. She plunged from the deck of the Andrea Doria to rescue her three-year-old daughter after the child slipped from a harness while being lowered to a lifeboat. Swimming with one arm and holding her daughter with the otter, Mrs. Dooner reached th^meboat, only to fight her way back through the swells to save a 13-year-old girl dangling from the end of a rope above the waters. There’s a young Catholic (Continued on Page 4) Thefts Reported As the price of gasoline continues to climb and also becomes a scarce commodity, more reports of gas thefts are evident. Tuesday night John Burke of Washington heard prowlers around his place in the vicinity of his vehicles and summoned Sheriff W. A. Buntin. Buntin investigated and in turn called Trooper C. A. Moore with his trained dog. The dog picked up a good scent that ended abruptly at the road which indicated the prowler had transportation waiting. The investigation continues, said the officers. The same night two chain saws were stolen from the Virginia Highway Department shop at Washington, according to Trooper R. A. Baines, who is investigating the crime. Value of the saws was estimated at $150. Sheriff Buntin advises area residents to use lock-tops on their auto gasoline tanks and loc;k up storage tanks or pumps as a precaution. “Nothing is sure,” he said, “however, a lock will cause vandals inconvenience and perhaps delay, or create noise which would alert home owners." terviews to be certified and eligible to replace Leesburg mayor Kenneth B. Rollins, Waddell’s unsuccessful nominee for the judgeship won by Hertz. A special rule change by the Senate Democratic Caucus “geared to my special situation,” said Sen. Waddell, “effectively scuttled the candidacy” of his first choice. Mayor Rollins. In effect, the State Senate seconded the nominee of the House of Delegates rather than one of its own senators. Rollins is a former member of the House of Delegates and a Democratic-tumedIndependent-turned-Re- Independent-turned-Republican who un successfully challenged Loudoun’s three Democratic delegates for one of their seats last November. Practically speaking, however, naming Virginia’s judges remains a special privilege of the Senate’s majority party despite annual Republican protest. The Democratic caucus in the Senate decides in secret who gets the caucus’s critical stamp of approval, although the House of Delegates comes up with its list of nominees from the House’s Democratic caucus. Names of nominees for judgeships come from the attorneys’ local bar association. New judges Robertson and Alexander were unanimously endorsed by' the Fauquier 'Slid Loudoun bar associations. Their nominations went through the House and Senate apparently without a hitch. Sen. Waddell, who traditionally would have had automatic backing for his nominee because he is the Democratic senator from the district with an open judgeship, said he chose to nominate Republican Rollins after the Loudoun bar association's unanimous endorsement of Rollins. The only other nominee for the 20th District Juvenile and Domestic Relations judgeship was • A. Burke Hertz by unanimous vote of the Rappahannock bar association. Sen. Waddell said he would support only a Loudoun candidate. He argued from the start that Loudoun has double the population of the district’s next largest county, Fauquier, and almost seven times the caseload. He added that retiring Judge Moffett spent at least a couple days a week commuting to Loudoun to hear cases. Sen. Waddell represents Loudoun and part of Fairfax County. In the House of Delegates, Del. Bell, the delegate from Worley Home Burglarized The home of Arthur T. Worley on Route 616 in the Castleton area was broken into and burglarized between January 19 and 28. according to Sheriff W. A. Buntin, who said it’s very possible it happened on the 25th. The estimated value of goods taken is in excess of $5000, said the Sheriff and included an antique china cupboard, three-legged table, old brass clock, cast iron pot, an RCA color television, other furniture, garden tiller, new Sears Craftsman lawn mower, rotary push type of electric drill. The house is right on the side of the road and the truck or conveyance in which the articles were hauled away would have been parked practically in the road, according to Buntin. The Sheriff asks anyone who might have seen any activity in that area to please contact him. Loudoun and the delegate from the district with the open judgeship, backed Rappahannock’s nominee Hertz. Del. Bell and his two Democratic colleagues who live in Prince William County—Del. Floyd C. Bagley and Del. David G. Brickly—represent Loudoun, Prince William. Manassas and Manassas Park. Del. Bell’s voice was the one the House listened to. The House caucus met prior to the Senate caucus last Thursday and named A. Burke Hertz. The Senate caucus was another story. Technically, Sen. Waddell never did nominate Rollins because he withdrew Rollins’ name “when it became clear he wouldn’t fiave gotten the required number of caucus votes.” sen. Waddell, unwavering in wanting this judge to be from Loudoun, said he had hoped to “work out a compromise with Democrats in the House to support a Loudoun person—a competent attorney and a Democrat.” On Friday morning, Loudoun and Fauquier bar associations held emergency meetings to unanimously endorse substitute nominees. By late Friday afternoon, Charles B. Foley of Warrenton and George Martin of Loudoun were in Richmond before the Slfate* Courts of Justice Committee. The House Courts of Justice Committee did not open its doors to the two soc ailed emergency nominations. The position seemed to be that the House already had its mind made up and that Foley and Martin were strictly Senate nominees. Meanwhile, waiting outside the door of the Senate’s Court of Justice Committee Friday afternoon Sen. Waddell asked area legislators about who circulated a "upsetting and unsigned memo” to all state senators about the judgeship. In part, this is what the unsigned memo said about the Loudoun County bar’s submitting George Martin’s name in place of Kenneth Rollins: “It is felt that the intention of this move is to create a deadlock between the House and Senate caucuses, therefore making it possible for Kenneth Rollins to be appointed to the bench.” The Loudoun bar’s telegram was countered by a letter signed by Del. Bell and sent to the Senate Democratic caucus before Monday's meeting to decide the Senate nominees for the 20th District and another, unrelated, contested judgeship. Sen. Waddell said he resented the implication that he tried to create a deadlock and. consequently, throw the judgeship selection on Penn’s shoulders. If the House had stood by one candidate and the Senate by another, the sitting 20th Circuit Court judge. Carleton Penn of Loudoun, would have named the new 20th District Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court judge after the General Assembly finished its 60-day session this March. However, Judge Penn would not have been bound by Senate and House nominees. He could have appointed any qualified attorney to succeed Judge Moffett. Hertz and Martin tied on the first caucus ballot. Hertz won by one vote on the second ballot and then became the choice of both houses. Waddell abstained on the Senate floor from voting on the list which contained Hertz’s name.

Women Help Women A woman is—somebody’s daughter, somebody’s sister, somebody’s wife (or ex-wife), somebody’s mother or somebody’s widow. Daughters deal with adult responsibilities and parents who are growing older. Sisters work to develop an adult relationship with siblings while attempting to put to rest the sibling rivalry of the growing up years. Wives face a multitude of decisons—such as, should I work, must 1 work, should my contribution to our marriage be homemaker or career person or possibly both? Wives also face questions of how to be a helpmate without giving up personal identity. Mother is an umbrella word for maid, nurse, chauffeur, social worker, and teacher, among others. No woman who is now raising or has already raised children, has to be told that this role of woman is both fulfilling and frustrating. Divorce and remarriage in today’s society have thrust additional roles on women. Different and sometimes non-traditional roles are imposed when marriages and mothers gain sole custody of their children or inherit through remarriage the title of stepmother and the Culpeper Art Co. 204 N.

SWAN'S JA SWAN JR * CO 201 S EAST ST CULPEPER VA 825-837 1 Snowfall Brings Heart Attack Danger RICHMOND, VA.—The strenuous activity of clearing a path through new-fallen snow can increase the danger of heart attack in many individuals unaccustomed to exercise, warns the American Heart Association, Virginia Affiliate. Particularly susceptible to increased risk from overexertion are middle-aged individuals, especially those with a history of heart disease. The Heart Association reminds such persons that they should secure their doctor's approval before attempting to shovel the front walk or driveway. Even men and women who have shown no symptoms of heart disease should proceed with caution while shoveling snow. They should take frequent rest periods and should quit working as soon as they feel tired. It is better for your heart to work in short, easy shifts than one long, arduous one. Clearing walks and driveways can be strenuous exercise. Persons not accustomed to regular physical activity can easily tax their heart beyond normal limits. Beauty Box,, Washington, Va.

And the wetter the snow, the heavier it is. A full shovel of new snow can weigh as much or more than a scoop of coal. Shoveling snow is usually an unscheduled exertion and improper dress compounds the problem. Some people wear too little, knowing that their bodies will heat up from the work. Then they run the risk of becoming chilled and inviting trouble as their tiring bodies must struggle to complete the snow-clearing job. Others overdress and add unnecessarily to the weight their bodies must lift with each stroke of the shovel. Snow shoveling can be beneficial if you’re in reasonably good health. The fresh air and exercise, probably paced, are good for you. But before the first flakes fly, the overweight and out-of-shape individual who gets little exercise needs his doctor’s approval to join in the annual snow rites—or he needs to recruit some healthy neighborhood teenagers to take over the shoveling chores. F&M Shows Gain F & M National Corporation, a Winchester based bank holding company, with branch facilities in Flint Hill, recorded fourth quarter income of S628.000 or 45 cents per share, a 15.6 per cent increase over the fourth quarter net income of $543,000 or 39 cents per share, recorded for 1978. Net income for the year was $2,116,000 or $1.51 per share after adjustments, a 10.6 per cent increase over the previous year’s figures of $1,913,000 or $1.37 per share.

According to president Jack Atkins, the organization has approximately 25 volunteers on its roll but less than a dozen members are active. “If we don’t get some more people, we’re going to have to close,” said Atkins in an interview last week. Atkins said between 15 to 20 volunteers are needed to respond to a major house fire call. Three persons at least mnct riHe tn ancwpr r<Krn#* calls. “If it’s an automobile accident, we run the fire truck with the rescue vehicle,” he added. In addition to responding to emergency fire and rescue calls, squad members must devote time to more routine duties. Along with the annual carnival, the squad’s major sources of revenue are weekly bingo games and dances that are held once or twice a month. Squad members supervise both, setting up before, maintaining order during and cleaning up after the events. According to Atkins, bingo requires five or six squad members, working in 3'/j hour shifts every Thursday night. On top of fund raising activities, members must also help with routine clean-up of the fire hall and rescue and fire equipment. Then, on top of everything else, the same dozen workers who assume responsibility for all the other chores must keep up with training and refresher courses required by the state. “It’s getting to the point where it’s an every day a week job,” said Atkins.

REA1TOR I HOUSE VALUE VS LOT VALUE I What is the proper, relationship between the cost of a lot and the value of the house on it? This question concerned building economists more in the past than it does now. Old rules of thumb have lost much of their meaning. It used to be said that land should represent about one-sixth of the home’s purchase price. Then it moved up to one-fifth and is now approaching one-fourth. And it will change again as the cost of land continues to rise. Nevertheless, the land value versus house value ratio cannot be totally dismissed because it does, to some extent, affect the resale value of the property. And resale value determines the ease or difficulty you’ll encounter in securing a mortgage. In this light, it may not make a great deal of difference if you put an inexpensive house on an expensive lot, but it could be a mistake to have too much house for the land. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, REALTOR, Middle Street, Washington. Phone: 675-3400. Were here to help. i in the rescue squad, an individual must have a minimum of 54 hours of first aid training. An additional 72 hours of training—10 of which must be in a hospital—are required for emergency medical technician. EMT training is recommended but not mandated, “at least not yet,” Atkins said. EMTs must take a refresher course every three years while regular squad members must have 30 hours of first aid classes every three years. Fire fighters must take a basic 30 hour course. “By the time we get all this ,done, it doesn’t leave us much time to do anything else,” Atkins said. To do an efficient and effective job, the fire and rescue squad needs 20 to 25 ACTIVE members, according to Atkins. women are welcome as are youngsters. The Amissville squad accepts teenagers aged 15 through 18 as junior members. The young men and women are allowed to ride on calls at 16 years of age but first must complete the same training required of adults. “It would help to have some retired persons volunteer,” Atkins said. “Most of our current members work and are not available for daytime calls.” If a fire breaks out, Atkins said. Amissville must contact another volunteer fire department. “It adds to the time it takes us to respond to an emergency,” he said. Atkins noted that fire insurance rates on homes in the Amissville area will go up should the fire and rescue squad be forced to disband for lack of members. In search of G Historic - Jesus The squad’s territory encompasses an area from Amissville to Viewtown and includes Clevenger’s Comer, Jeffersonton and Ben Venue. Persons interested in becoming fire and rescue squad members should contact Atkins at 937-5282 or another member of the squad. New Amissville fire and rescue officers elected in December, in addition to Atkins, include vice-president Charlie Priest, secretary Stan Settle Jr., treasurer Giarlie Compton, fire chief Levi Atkins, assistant chief Russel Pullen, fire captain C.

JANU ARY 31, 1%0 Good Manners All of Rappahannock can be proud of the county representatives we sent to Williamsburg last weekend. Our seventh graders were models of good behavior. They’ve set an example for the classes to come that will be a hard act to follow. From the State Capitol in Richmond to the fort at Jamestown, for three long days that began at 6:30 a.m., they followed all the rules. They kept hands off what they weren’t supposed to touch, respecting both public and private property. They walked in orderly groups in crowded public buildings without pushing and shoving and were quiet as church mice when asked not to chatter. They didn’t toss their candy wrappers on the ground and they disposed of their chewing gum upon request. In the motel, the boys stayed upstairs where they belonged except for trips, admittedly frequent, to the downstairs coke machine and ice maker. Boys and girls both stayed in their beds after the. 11 p.m. “lights out” and copfined conversation to an acceptable whispered level. W7' agree that this standard of uenavior can be reasonably expected from young people. But what we expect and what we actually get are often two different things. Our young ambassadors of good will went one step further, however. They were more than attentive during talks by our guides. They looked interested and asked intelligent questions that showed they were listening. The guides loved it. Each and everyone of them from Williamsburg to Jamestown complimented the kids from Rappahannock. They showed their appreciation by giving the seventh graders a little bit extra—the chance to dress up in colonial garb, to run a printing press, to sit on railings and tables for a better view. Inspired by the feedback from the youngsters, the guides tried harder to make their talks more interesting for youthful listeners. In the cafeteria, the Rappahannock contingent strung out into a serving line that seemed a mile long. Our seventh graders, on their own initiative, invited families to by-pass our group and step to the front. Once seated, the kids stayed seated until they were finished. Conversation was a background buzz, not a roar, and they used table manners that would have made Emily Post smile. In was this type of behavior that spurred strangers to tell our Trailways bus drivers what a nice bunch of kids we had. There were other school groups in the cafeteria and ours shown bycomparison. As the buses pulled back into the school on Sunday evening, the drivers came on their public address systems to thank their young riders for being such considerate passengers. Even on that long journey home, tired after miles of walking and hours of excitement, they behaved well. After the impression left by this year's class, we’re sure the red carpet of welcome will be rolled out next January. The annual trip to Williamsburg was a treat for the seventh graders from Rappahannock County Elementary School and they returned the favor. — Rappahannock News Photo/MarOyn Hatchett Our Rappahannock Heritage Delegate’s Report t By GEORGE BEARD Remember the story regarding the fire on the seventh floor? Well, we have had two alarms since then until they discovered what the problem w as. While we were gone last year, they installed smoke detectors along the ceilings on each hall. A fella named George Bowles, a well known newsman, who writes for the Virginia News Service, is a fellow pipe smoker. He lit his pipe beneath one of these smoke detectors, and off went the alarm. It wasn’t the tobacco he was smoking that set off the alarms, it was those shredded news stories he used for tobacco that caused the problem. Just kidding, he is an excellent reporter but he sure is careful where he lights his pipe now.. This has been a busy week, with a series of Committee meetings, lots of mail and phone calls, visits from government officials and checking on questionable bills. Speaking of bills, the Speaker issued an early cutoff day on having bills drawn and introduced. No bills can be written after Monday, January 28th, nor can any bills be introduced after January 31st. This announcement caught many Delegates by surprise and it will certainly cut down on our work load. One bill 1 was asked to put in failed in Committee. It was a bill to increase the VASAP fee to $300.00 with a $100.00 remaining in the locality. I appeared before the Courts of Justice Committee to defend the bill but the lawyers on the Committee said such a bill will defeat the real purpose of the VASAP program. I noticed that another bill is coming to the House from the Senate which states that if offenders of driving under the influence have to attend the VASAP program a second time, they will lose their driving permit for three “Saved! ” Picked By Literary Guild (Continued from Page 1) priest, traveling to Chicago to celebrate his first public mass after four years of studies in Rome. Unaware of how much time the badly listing Andrea Doria had left before her Final dive and sure that he would perish if the ship capsized. Father Tom Kelly found the courage to lead an expedition below decks. He prodded three others into climbing down into the dark four times. They struggled along steeply slanted corridors to bring back life jackets for scores of frightened passengers. Not everyone was as brave. Crew members abandoned their assigned stations with no thoughts of responsibility. Ignoring the tradition of saving women and children First, they ripped off the canvas covers from lifeboats and climbed inside. “Others released the winches, lowered the boats, and jumped after them. The water filled with white-jacketed stewards thrashing out to the safety of the lifeboats," Hoffer writes, evoking images of rats deserting a sinking ship. Swedish sailors in the Stockholm fought back anger as they stretched out hands to lifeboats from the Andrea Doria and, instead of passengers, found themselves helping stewards and waiters, some wearing officer’s epaulets. “Not until the third boat, also filled mainly with crew, were ten children lifted to safety,” Hoffer relates. Bad luck conspired with misfortune to bring about the collision. The roll of the dice changed, though, during the great sea rescue. The Andrea Doria stayed afloat longer then anyone thought possible, allowing time for escape. Other ships in the area took the distress calls seriously and arrived before the great ship went down. Th#1 fog lifted while brave men and women, passengers and crew, worked to save themselves and others. Hoffer’s story has a happy ending. Although property and lives were lost, it could have been so much worse. When the final count was taken, 30 times as many people are rescued as perished. No Inspiration Hoffer was 13 years old when the Stockholm plowed into the Andrea Doria. He remembers the tragedy but just barely. It wasn’t an event that burned itself into his memory and inspired him to write the tale 24 years later. “I’d like to give you some grand story of a quest but there wasn’t one.” Hoffer admitts. Instead. “Saved!” was an assignment handed down from the buyer. An editor of Simon and Schuster read "Midnight Express”. Hoffer’s previous book written with Billie Hayes. The story of a young American imprisoned on drug charges in a Turkish jail, "Midnight Express" was made into a movie and nominated for six Academy Awards. Impressed with HofTer’s earlier effort, the editor laid out the idea for a book about the wreck of the Andrea Doria. "There it was in news clippings. I agreed to do it and that’s all 1 did for the next two years. ‘‘1 had no idea of the scope, the hours of terror. I thought two ships ran into each other and got away on life boats,” Hoffer said. For a year, he traveled around the world, hunting up the survivors of the collision and picking their memories. Then he spent another year in concentrated writing effort. Isolated on a mountain top with no neighbors, the kids in school, and his wife, also a writer, pecking away at a second typewriter. Hoffer works with the stereo blaring out rock ‘n’ roll. “It helps to isolate my mind. I can make myself unconscious of the environment around me. When I was writing “Saved!", 1 was ON that WILLIAM HOFFER ship,” he said. With the selection of "Saved!" as an offering by both the Literary Guild and Book-of-the-Month, 37-year old Hoffer looks like a new young face on the literary scene. Actually, he’s been at his trade for 13 years and so misses out on being described as an overnight success. A graduate of Columbia Union College, a Seventh Day Adventist school in Washington, D. C., Hoffer’s degree is in public speaking, not literature. As a freshipdn, he took his first and only course in creative writing. “That implanted the dream but I sat on it for quite a while," he said. During a tour in the Army. Hoffer began to free lance but collected rejection slips instead of checks. It took him a year before he sold his first story and he only sold two before his release from service but it was enough to keep the writing bug alive. After his discharge, he kept on at free lance attempts and paid the bills by working full-time for trade magazines, first plumbing and then life insurance publications. After a while of this double duty. Hoffer realized that he was spreading himself too thin and one had to go. He took the plunge and quit his job with the trade publication. Between 1970 and 1975, his income depended exclusively on the articles he sold to magazines. It wasn’t until the success of "Midnight Express” that he could take a deep breath and relax. "I got lucky," he maintains with unexpected modesty. “I went through a couple of meager years before 1 knew that I’d made it.” For the future, Hoffer plans to keep on writing. He's currently working on another book but the topic’s a secret. He pointed out file cabinets stuffed with research materials but wouldn't say anything more except that he sigped the contract for his newest effort when he turned in the First half of the manuscript for “Saved!.” He'll also stay on his mountain top, forsaking the fast-paced glitter of New York life. “During the 60’s and 70’s, I was one of those young idealists. I wasn't really an activist but I was one of the liberal young people out to change the world. Then I realized that it wasn’t going to change so I settled for moving up here and changing my own private world. "Every place has its hassles. I’m here because I like the hassles here compared to the hassles in other places,” Hoffer concluded. Beard years. I wonder what the House Courts of Justice Committee will do on that one. Another bill I am introducing is to eliminate our Sheriffs from having to qualify on small estates to satisfy creditors. A bill was put in today authorizing Clerks of Court to perform marriage. Ain't that something? Get out your robes, Diane. ' I am introducing another bill, which may not pass, that requires the Health Department to issue a septic permit in 60 days and if the permit is not issued in that time period, the land owner can appeal to the local Planning Commission to approve an alternative and innovative waste treatment system or device. We have over 30,000 acres in our District that homes cannot be built on because of land percolation and the absence of a permit. Some whose homes have been destroyed by fire, own the land, yet cannot get a permit to rebuild. There are dozens of devices acceptable for use in other states that our State Health Department will not approve, so we will just see how that little gem makes out. Another one of my bills will eliminate the necessity of securing a building permit on projects that cost less than a SI,000. It looks as if the sales tax on gasoline has been shot down. We are having a joint meeting tomorrow of the Senate and House Finance Committee with the Governor on a different plan. It is my understanding he wants to increase the current nine cents tax per gallon to thirteen cents. He may or may not get the full four cents increase. Some talk in the inner workings of a two or three cent increase with an exemption of the increase on gasohol. I favor the latter plan as it will help our grain farmers. The trouble is no one has been able to give a satisfactory answer on the actual amount the Highway Department really needs. I have seen more different figures than there are on my son’s report card. A request was made today to a subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee to restore the four positions taken away from Germanna last year. Dr. Wirtala, Mr. Colangelo, Mr. O’Toole. Chairman of the Board from King Goerge, Mr. Day, Board Member from Caroline County, D. French Slaughter and yours truly were all in attendance to testify. I sure hope it works. At a later date I will have to appear again for the necessary appropriation. That’s all for now and if anyone sees ole George Bowles puffing on his pipe, cover your smoke detectors.

Richmond Roundup A Special Weekly Summary Of Virginia Legislative Action Affecting Rappahannock County By LINDA B. KINES * Arundel Newepnpen. Richmond Bureau Rappahannock’s Sen. Nathan H. Miller and Del. George P. Beard Jr., both Republicans, would rather scrutinize the state highway department then talk about supporting the Republican governor’s newest gasoline tax proposal. "I’m not sure a four-centsper-gallon tax increase at the pump would raise sufficient revenues in years to come,” said Sen. Miller, a lawyer in Harrisonburg. “You could make a case for the state Department of Transportation and Highways coming under the umbrella of the state’s general fund budgeting. “Why is the state highway department so totally separate from the rest of the state’s budgeting?” asks Sen. Miller. “We’re still finding out, for example, when the federal revenue-sharing monies are coming in.” Sen. Miller adds that “there are as many ideas as there are General Assembly members, and we’ve got to get a vehicle into the finance committees and work from there.” He represents Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison, Page and Rockingham counties and Harrisonburg in rural Senate District 26. Del. Beard, chairman of the board of the Second National Bank of Culpeper, said he was opposed to the governor’s original proposal of a four per cent wholesale tax increase on gasoline “from the beginning.” However, instead of the present alternative of fourcents-per-gallon at the gas pump, Del. Beard said he “probably will support a twocents-per-gallon increase at the pump.” Holding up a thick copy of highway statistics distributed after the governor’s speech last Friday, Del. Beard said: “This I appreciate more than anything-—to get a set of updated, clear figures this1'morning. This is the information from the state highway department that I’ve been waiting for since we got here.” Robinson Will Seek 6 th Term Congressman J. Kenneth Robinson (R-Winchester) plans to run for a sixth term in Congress. The 7th District Representative made the announcement last week at a breakfast gathering of supporters in Winchester, Harrisonburg, Charlottesville and Fredericksburg. Robinson said he had been - "encouraged by increasing opportunities to make effective contributions to what 1 regard as constructive initiatives in the Congress.” Robinson’s said he would ‘‘seek the Republican nomination for Congressman", and, if successful, would "ask the supporter of all citizens of the 7th Congressional District for the opportunity to serve them in Congress through another two-year term." Reenactment Set For 1980 Due to continued interruptions by bad weather, the Rappahannock Historial Society has again rescheduled its planning meeting for the Civil War reenactment set for the 1980 Labor Day weekend. The planning session will be held on Thursday, February 7, at 7:30 p.m. in the court house. The public is invited to attend. The Little Fox

Deer Kill Near Record County Game Warden Jim Bankston reported this week that the final deer kill tally for Rappahannock in the 1979-80 hunting season was 806. “I'm sure more deer than that were killed but that was the total checked.” he added. The legal deer harvest breaks down to four animals killed for every square mile of forest area in the county, according to the game warden. This year’s harvest amounted to slightly less than the record number shot last year. In addition to the deer, two bears and 70 turkeys were checked. Last year, seven bears and 15 turkeys were taken. Bankston said he’d written approximately 40 citations for violations of hunting laws. "Road hunting wasn’t the tremendous problem that it’s been in past years, primarily because of gas price increases," he said. "But the same individuals, the same hardcore group who have ridden the roads year in and year out, were out there again this year. Some of them are regulars you can almost set your watch by,” Bankston added. “They were at Thomas Eastham’s (Ben Venue Farm), at the Shade and down in Jenkins Hollow every morning.” According to Bankston,| hunting pressure was lower this year. “But deer were soj numerous that the kill was up on a par with last year’s record kill,” he said. Counting animals killed illegally, he estimated that the harvest actually was “way over 900.” SCENIC RAPPAHANNOCK COUNTY (Little Switzer la nd!)

Kennetn Robinson is one of the signers of a joint letter sent to all Senators and Representatives charged with working out the final details of the energy tax bill. Robinson joined in urging that provision be made in the bill for. tax credits for woodburning stove equipment. “The Senate version of the oil windfall profits tax legislation would allow an energy tax credit to be provided for citizens who invest in wood-burning stove equipment. The House version would not,” Robinson explained. “We are interested in persuading the House-Senate conference to accept the Senate provision because the increased use of wood would be a tremendous energysaver. It’s estimated we could save close to 100 million barrels of oil annually by increasing residential woodburning in areas where practical, and a Department of Energy study has confirmed that the nation’s wood supply would allow for a substantial increase in its use. Furthermore, wood stoves present a more realistic option for lowincome families than complex and expensive energy conservation equipment,” Robinson said. Persons who have invested in wood-burning stoves over the past year are urged to save their receipts for the equipment until it is determined whether tax credits will be allowed. ++++ Thomas Jefferson suggested the invention of the stop watch for making astronomical observations.
