A. Baines in the past week. Carl Alan Soloman of Potomac, Md. and Patrick Henry Paul of Warrenton were involved in a collision on Route 211 at the intersection of Route 522 at Massies Corner on April 6. According to Baines, Soloman, operating a 71 Ford, entered Route 211 from 522 into the path of Paul who was westbound in a 70 Toyota. Soloman was cited for failing to yield the right of way. Damage was estimated at $400 to Soloman and $450 to Paul. Three vehicles joined forces in front of B & B Service Station west of Washington Monday. Irene Gertrude Fletcher of Washington in a 78 Ford pickup was traveling east when Cornelious D. Fincham of Washington, westbound in a 68 Chevrolet pickup, made a left turn into the service station and was hit by the Fletcher truck. A third car, a 78 Ford driven by Floyd Stbneberger of Stanley following Fincham was struck by the Fletcher car as it careened from the blow by Fincham. Fincham was cited for failing to yield the right-ofway. —Rappahannock News Photo/Sarah Latham TROUT FISHING SEASON OPENED Saturday and at noon avid fishermen, women and children lined the banks of Piney River up Old Hollow at Sperryville.

Supervisors Take Second Look At County Cars By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Judging by comments at Thursday’s supervisor session, Rappahannock County’s Sheriff s department may soon loose the distinction of being the last in the state to rely solely on privately owned vehicles. At the April 3 board meeting, Sheriff W. A. Buntin repeated his yearly request for county cars. In his proposed budget for 1980-81, Buntin included $30,000 for four police vehicles. He suggested to the supervisors on Thursday that they authorize purchase of Dodge St. Regis the model picked by many area law enforcement agencies. “If the county has the money and is willing to consider cars, now is the time to get them,” he said, noting that orders must be placed by April 18 for 1980 models. Ordering early, Buntin said, will save as much as $500 per vehicle. Poor Turn-Out At Chester Gap I By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer It was hit or miss finding the Chester Gap fire hall Monday night in pea soup fog that blanketed the mountain top. Judging by the number of local residents who showed up for the planning commission’s community in-put meeting on Rappahannock’s first comprehensive plan, most of the folks from Chester Gap mjssed. Only two local residents in addition to Wakefield District supervisor Hubert Gilkey and his wife Maybelle attended the session, first of six scheduled by the planning commission. With such a tiny audience, however, there were plenty of copies of the comprehensive plan available to leaf through. Commission chairman H. S. Barksdale expressed disappointment in the small turn out, noting that the plan, required by state law to be adopted by July 1, will affect everyone in the county Amissville Plan Meeting community meeting for public reaction to the county’s first comprehensive plan will be» held in Amissville at the Methodist Church on Monday, April 14, beginning at 7:30. All interested citizens are urged to attend. directly or indirectly. “We’re not working on this thing to prevent change. We know we’re going to have change,” Barksdale stated. With a comprehensive plan, he said, change can be orderly and more of the county’s rural character can be preserved. The nation is approaching the time when "food production’s going to be right serious matter,” said Barksdale, pointing out that the U.S. is losing millions of acres of farm land annually to residential and commercial uses. Planner Newbill Miller described the draft document as “a professional plan to suit a rural locality.” He noted again that this first comprehensive plan may include things better left out and omit things that should be included but emphasized that Jhe public must point out mistakes of omission or commission to the planning commission. The plan itself is the work of the RappahannockRapidan Planning District Commission staff acting at the direction of the Rappahannock planning commission. John Capelle, executive director for the district commission, in his brief review of the draft, noted that no rapid population growth is envisioned in the next 20 years for Rappahannock. Projections in the plan put the county’s population in the year 2000 at between (Continued on Page 2) Ther sheriff told the suprvisors that local people complain because they never see sheriffs department personnel. “That’s because none of our cars look like police cars,” Buntin said. He maintained that county cars will give the department added visibility and will serve as a deterent to crime. Experience indicates that crime decreases in areas where police are seen regularly, according to Buntin. “It’s important for the people to know that we are there,” he added. “In the last two years, we’ve had a complete turnover in personnel,” the sheriff continued. "At least three (deputies) left because they couldn’t afford to furnish their own cars.” Since their departure, vehicle operating expenses have continued to rise, paced by gas price hikes and increases in insurance premiums, oil, tire and repair costs, he said. “We feel we won’t be able to operate our own cars (for police work),” Buntin said. “The deputies can’t afford to go broke working for the county.” He stressed that no one on his staff has threatened to leave but added that this possibility must be considered. Mark Your Calendars Mark your calendars now for the Rappahannock County High School production of “Hello, Dolly!” This Broadway classic has endeared audiences everywhere and is sure to provide a most pleasurable evening of entertainment for those in Rappahannock County who attend. If you enjoyed “My Fair Lady” last year, ready yourself for another of Don Bomberger’s grand productions. Performances will begin at 8 p.m. April 18 and 19. Then you may see DeeDee Grant in her role as Dolly, Doug Bywaters as Horace Vandergelder, Brian Fitzek as Cornelius Hack!, Chris Hitt as B&rnaby Tucker, Sharon Settle as Irene Malloy, Dawn Watson as Minnie Tay, and thirty-six other enthusiastic performers. Currently, sheriff’s department personnel are paid for using their own cars at the rate of 17 cents per mile. Noting that gas has climbed from 60 cents a gallon a year-and-a-half age to an anticipated $1.50 gallon before the end of summer, Buntin noted that mileage reimbursement will have to go up to 21 cents per mile just to offset gas price increases. In his proposed 1980-81 budget, Buntin said he asked for 25 cents per mile if county cars aren’t purchased. Currently, he noted, the state will reimburse mileage costs in the coming year at the rate of 18.5 cents for the first 15.000 and 10 cents per mile for anything over 15,000 miles. This will work out to 13.64 cents per mile to Rappahannock’s force, leaving the county with approximately 12 cents per mile to pay with local revenue at the 25 cents per mile rate. Deputies are now logging 34.000 miles per year, according to Buntin. The sheriff noted that the state will pick up full salary for the sheriffs department and the commonwealth attorney this year, saving the county approximately $42,000. Supervisor Clarence (Continued on Page 10) Board Adds Trailer To 80-81 Budget By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The same school board members that balked two weeks ago at including funds for a modular unit to house a mandated special education class turned around and voted $44,070 for a double trailer at Tuesday’s meeting. In their vote, Robert Eastham, Walter Masterson and Allen Stokes stipulated that the modular unit is to be used solely for special education programs, including self-contained and resource classes for learning disabled students and educable mentally retarded and trainable mentally retarded classes. The action came after superintendent William Bloomer informed the school board that its budget for 1980-81 already forwarded to the supervisors does not meet minimum per pupil funding levels set by the state. Under standards of quality mandates, the per pupil funding level for the 1980-81 is $1,075. To meet that level, the proposed budget must include an additional $38,590.63 in local funds, according to Bloomer. Eastham insisted that the proposed budget allows for well over the minimum figure, noting that he had divided the school system's current average daily membership of 1,174 into the total operational costs —excluding capital outlay and. debt service— to reach 'his figures. In addition to eliminating those two expenditures. Bloomer said, categorical funds for food services, vocational education. Title programs and special education must also be subtracted from the total before dividing by average daily membership. "Are you claiming that the Meeting Date Changed tleginning in May, the Rappahannock supervisors will hold their regular board meetings on the first Monday of the month rather than the first Thursday. Chairman E. P. Luke suggested the change as a means of reducing the time lag between action taken at the meetings and the report of decisions made by the supervisors which appears a we4k later in the Rappahannock News. “Every issue gets discussed ad infinitum” he said, noting that the supervisors are hit by a barage of questions a week after each board meeting as a result of accounts in the newspaper. The motion to change the meeting date, effective May 5, passed unanimously. Sessions will continue to begin at 10 a.m. in the courthouse at Washington. budget approved by the school board will not meet the $1,075 per pupil mandate set by the General Assembly?” asked Eastham, still insisting that his figures were correct. He argued that Bloomer, in his memo to the board, had failed to state that the proposed budget fell short of per pupil minimum expenditures. Instead, he maintained. Bloomer only called for the expenditure of more local money. Bloomer repeated that $38,590 in local money must Road Projects Slowed By Lack Of Funds By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Happahannork Nrw« Suff Writer Rappahannock roads will feel the impact of declining gas tax revenues, both this year and in fiscal year 198081, according to Don Askew, resident engineer from the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation. Askew told the supervisors at last Thursday’s annual public hearing on the secondary road budget that the county will receive only $355,000 for its secondary system during the current year, a drop of $77,000 in anticipated funds. Every Virginia county is experiencing this same 20 per cent shortfall, according to Askew. In addition, he said, extensive road break-up caused by the 1979 spring thaws has combined with damage from last August’s floods and the early snowstorm in October to delay construction projects scheduled for the current year. “We’re about 95 per cent complete in restoration efforts," said Askew, noting that the Route 618 bridge, the last of several bridges to be repaired after being washed out in the Sperryville Subdivision Water System Violates Health Regulations In November, 1978, the Health Department’s division of engineering’s regional office in Culpeper went on record as believing that a contaminated spring at Rappahannock Lakes subdivision constituted “a hazard to the health” of families in 24 houses then hooked into the subdivision's public water system. According to a letter dated November 6, 1978, from district engineer Gerald Higgins, water from the spring piped into homes — Rappahannock New* Photo/Sarah Lathato MAJOR ROLES in “Hello, Dolly” are played by DeeDee Grant and Jimmy Bywaters. A practice scene last Thursday shows them working diligently to make the production a smash hit. be added to meet state mandates. He acknowledged that he hadn’t computed the level of per pupil expenditure in the budget passed by the school board. He noted, however, that the basic budget he presented to the board last month along with his recommended budget was based on per pupil costs of $1,027. ‘‘The budget approved by the board is less than the total in that basic budget,” Bloomer noted, while final levels of per pupil expenditures set by the General Assembly are almost $50 per student higher. Not Inaccurate "I would not say that Dr. Bloomer’s figures are inaccurate,” stated chairman Beverly Massie. “He must fill out alt the reports to Richmond,” she said, adding that the superintendent is answerable to the state department of education as well as to the school board. Eastham asked if Mrs. Massie was satisfied that it (Continued on Page 2) flood, was opened to traffic on Thursday. State funds allocated to counties for secondary roads will continue to be lower than projected as a result of decreased gas consumption. Even with the two cent hike in gas taxes approved by the last General Assembly, Rappahannock can expect just $360,000 for maintenance and construction of secondary roads in 1980-81, according to Askew. Reduced funds coupled with this year’s heavy maintenance load “can only prolong the six-year plan,” Askew said. “We*re not going to be able to keep on line with things we intended to do in the plan because of the shortfall in funds." Rappahannock’s six-year plan for secondary roads was revised last fall following two hours of complaints aired at a special meeting in October. Major projects added to the plan as a result of the hearing include surface treatment on 1.5 miles of Route 621 east of Route 522 in Woodville, surface treatment and spot work to improve sight distances and eliminate dangerous curves on portions of Route 637 in Wakefield and Jackson Districts and improvements to Route 680 near Dennis’s Store in StonewallHawthome District. In the only good news relayed to the supervisors on Thursday. Askew reported that road damage resulting from the spring thaw is relatively minor for the first time in years. e Few Complaints Despite delays in main* (Continued on Page 2) New Dual Lane Opens The new section of the dual lane highway, Route 211, at Amissville will be open today, Thursday, to traffic. Area residents are reminded to be cautious leaving and entering driveways, using proper crossovers, etc.; in other words, change habits acquired during the road construction period. The speed limit on this section of highway will remain at 45 mph, for some work remains to be done and construction will continue in the area. contained “fecal coliform bacteria.” According to the letter, the spring was to have been taken out of service permanently some months previously but was still being used “depending on the demand for water on the system." After first insisting that it had no jurisdiction over the "highly contaminated” water system, the Health Department reversed its position and processed an operation permit in the name of James E. Williams, owner of the system. A December 11, 1978, letter from the Health Department's engineering office noted that connections from the polluted springs had been cut, leaving an uncontaminated well as the subdivision’s water source. In addition, the well was reportedly increased another 60 feet in depth to provide additional water. Recently, the Health Department again cited the Rappahannock Lakes system for failure to comply with regulations. At last Thursday’s meeting of the Rappahannock supervisors, chairman E. P. Luke read a letter dated March 7 to Dr. James E. Williams of Front Royal. In the letter, district engineer Kenneth B. Arthur warned Dr. Williams that he must take steps to correct problems with the subdivision’s water supply. Arthur reminded Williams that, as owner, he is “required by law to perform minimum operational duties. Your failure to respond to our letter of 4 February, 1980, indicates both your disinterest in this system and your lack of regard for the ‘Waterworks Regulations’.” Continued lack of response, wrote Arthur, will result in further violations “and will necessitate enforcement proceedings by the Health Department.” As a first step in enforcement, the Health Department will hold an informal hearing at its Culpeper Regional Office, according to Arthur. He noted that the department lacks subpoena power and will keep no records of the informal meeting. Preliminary findings of fact will be submitted, however, along with recommendations for further action to the Commissioner of Health and Bureau Director, Arthur wrote. John Capito, regional director for the Health Department’s engineering division, explained that this time, Rappahannock Lakes water problems involve capacity, not contamination.^ “Bacteriologically, they’re in good shape," Capito said, noting that tests showed the well water free from contamination by any bacteria. He said a developer wants to build additional homes that will hook into the system. According to Capito, new hook-ups will exceed the well’s current capacity.

Few Complaints At Hearing (Continued from Page 1) tenance and construction projects, only a handful of people showed up at Thursday’s hearing and fewer still registered complaints. "With two major disasters and the unusual weather conditions. I think the highway department has done a remarkable job.” stated Carson Johnson, the single speaker from Piedmont District. “Particularly the bridge in Sperryville—I think you did a wonderful job on that," Johnson added. There was not a single complaint from StonewallHawthome District. From Hampton, Mrs. George Bain asked when work will begin on Route 621. Askew replied that improvements are scheduled to get under way in fiscal year 1980-81 but added that one landowner may continue to hold up the project by refusing to donate required right-of-way. He said highway department representatives have met with the property owner without any success in securing the rightof-way. Askew described improvements planned for Route 621 as “the number one priority in the Hampton District area." Four residents from Jackson District — Roy Jenkins, Mrs. Bernice Scott, E. L. Jones and W. O. Scott—all cited the need for improvements to Route 637, including surface treatment for an additional 1.5 miles and widening other sections to eliminate hazards to school bus traffic. Askew said that blacktopping of the 1.5 mile stretch is included in the current year’s budget. He noted, however, that several landowners along the road are opposed to hard surfacing. Askew added that petitions in favor of surface treatment may help speed the project along. “There’s no question about it. We have an obligation to those who donated right-of-way in anticipation of having it hard surfaced,’’ he said. He acknowledged that it would take opposition from “an overwhelming majority” of landowners and users of the road to block the hard surfacing project.

He requested first that “no parking” signs be posted along Route 647 at its intersection with Route 522 next to Fanners and Merchants Bank in Flint Hill. Trucks parking along the road opposite the bank block the view of traffic approaching from the direction of Front Royal, he said. Bob Dennis, also a W akefield District resident, noted that vehicles now cut through the bank parking lot rather than make the turn onto Route 522 because of sight distance impaired by truck parking. An even greater hazard exists at the right angle intersection of the Resettlement Road (Route 628) and Route 659 near the Aileen plant. Eastham continued. He stressed the danger of accidents for the school bus which must make a wide turn at the intersection with view of any oncoming traffic blocked by the brow of a hill and high banks on the sides of the road. “We're going to have a load of children hit there sooner or later,” Eastham warned. The highway department is aware of the dangers at that intersection. Askew responded. As in other instances, he said, the solution lies in securing the necessary right-of-way to improve the road. “We’ve looked into it before without much success," he said. Eastham volunteered his efforts and those of other Flint Hill citizens in persuading the property owner to donate the necessary rightof-way. “No one wants to see children killed there,” he said. Dennis added compliments for the “fine job” done by the highway department in reopening Route 637 after trees downed in the October snowstorm closed the road. Eileen Day from Hampton District also thanked the department for spot improvements recently completed on. the road leading back into Old Hollow. “This is something, isn’t it?” remarked supervisor chairman E. P. Luke in closing the secondary road hearing. “The highway department’s getting kudos for doing something right.” Askew smiled, recalling complaints and maintenance requests from citizen after citizen at last October’s hearing. “I’ll tell you, after last year, I was ready to call it quits,” the resident engineer concluded. ++++ The most common sign of cancer is a sore that fails to heal and bleeds easily. 14th Annual OKTLN1D9 Pam-TO-POINT of the Loudoun Hunt A ■ ■ i 111 ■ rm ■ — SUNDAY, APRIL 13 POST TIME 1:30 P.M.

She replied that she was, repeating her confidence in Dr. Bloomer’s calculations. To meet the requirement for additional appropriations, Masterson suggested increasing the allocation for contractual services to cover costs of a space utilization study for the high school. He also proposed a hike in the allocation for teacher inservice training to provide for the services of an expert in education to sit in on classes and then work with individual teachers to correct short comings. ' “If you do that, you’re going to have to pay,” Bloomer responded, noting that consultant services will run a minimum of $100 per day plus expenses. "How long would it take to do both schools?” asked Eastham. He added that all teachers wouldn’t need this extra help, that it would be primarily intended for new teachers. Mrs. Massie inquired if the other board members were agreed to spend the additional $38,950. Eastham asked if the board had any choice. "No, but it’s a place to start with you gentlemen,” Mrs. Massie countered, sparking a round of applause from the audience. Eastham asked how the space would be used should the school board agree to buy a modular unit. Masterson asked if the regular-sized classroom used for a special education class for only five children could be divided into two rooms. “The state department has not and probably will not approve dividing any classroom that now exists,” Bloomer replied. He added that the state department has already okayed a modular unit designed for two classes to be used for LD selfcontained and LD resource. “Sounds like they’re using a lot of weasle words!” in‘“rjected Masterson. Adamently opposed just two weeks ago to buying a single fnodula'r' unit for the elementary school’s LD classes, Eastham proposed on Tuesday that the board solved the problems of overcrowding and below minimum expenditures "with one stone” and purchase a large double modular unit. With the double trailer, he said, the smaller educable mentally retarded and trainable mentally retarded classes could be transferred from large, full-sized rooms, eliminating “under utilization of space.” Assistant Rob McDaniel questioned buying double the modular classroom space that is currently needed. “I see no educational advantage to consolidating’’ EMR, TMR and two LD classes in one unit, he said. The double trailer will “free up space” and “open up possibilities for the future,” in addition to relieving overcrowding at the elmentary school, Eastham argued. The administration would rather see funds divided between several areas of need Charles Eldred maintained, the time for the school psychologist in view of recently cited deficiencies in the testing program for special education screening. Ulterior Motives Mrs. Massie described the proposal for a double trailer as "penny wise and pound foolish,” agreeing that the problem of time lage in psychological testing must be addressed. "I think you have ulterior motives,” she told Eastham, indicating that he planned for the double0 trailers to be ultimately used for relieving over-crowding at the high school by freeing space for eighth grade classes at the elementary. "You’re thinking ahead but you're leaving out something that needs to be addressed now—psychological services.” Eastham asked how many children she wanted to see in special education. "Not one more than we have now but we have to continue the level of services that we’re currently providing,” Mrs. Massie responded. "Then you’ll have half the children in the school in special education,” Eastham insisted. “If you try to put every special program in a separate building, you will be on. pretty shakey ground,” warned McDaniel. He noted that federal and state regulations call for handicapped children to be educated in the least restrictive environment. “It’s illegal to isolate them from regular students,” he said. Mentally retarded students are confined to two rooms now, Eastham countered. McDaniel disagreed, pointing out that these special education students are with out students for physical education, lunch and all special school activities. Eastham insisted that reatrded youngsters will still be able to eat with regular students if they attend classes in the double modular. His motion to purchase the unit was seconded by Masterson. "Are you adamant in stipulating the precise program? Are you offering any leeway for space, utilization?" asked Mrs. Massie. "I’m not about to vote for spending $38,000 for nothing...It’s no good to just build a building and say ‘Now boys, use it anyway you want to,’ ” Eastham argued. “What if the board of education says we're not mainstreaming?’’ asked Eldred. “If I see an order on the table. I’ll obey the law,” Eastham answered. McDaniel hesitated to state positively that the state department will rule that the doublemodular unit for special education classes fails to meet mandates on mainstreaming handicapped students in the least restrictive environment. “I think there will be some question about the separate facilities,” he said. The motion to add the double unit to the proposed 1980-81 budget already under consideration by the supervisors passed three-two with Eldred and Massie opposed. “It is passed.

Capelle described the chapter on goals and objectives as “the meat of the plan” and said the basic thrust of this section is towards keeping the county much as it is by encouraging the preservation of agriculture, keeping population density low and directing major residential growth towards the areas around the county’s six villages. "Basically, we’re recommending very little change,” Capelle said. He noted that the planning commission with the planning district staff has spent a year and a half and 19 meetings on the comprehensive plan. “There’s been a lot of discussion, a lot of give and take at all those meetings,” Capelle concluded, asking for questions from the audience of four. Gilkey asked if the plan’s chapter on implementation which includes a section on land use assessment constitutes a recommendation that use value taxation be adopted. Miller, chairman of the planning commission’s comprehensive plan committee, answered yes, that the plan carried a recommendation for both agricultural districts and land use assessment.

In addition, he said, several route numbers are improperly marked. “There's a whole subdivision left- off,” agreed Maybelle Gilkey. Capelle replied that the subdivision in question is located outside the perimeter of the designated study area for Chester Gap. If the houses on Route 610—estimated to number at least 25—are considered to be part of Chester Gap, then a second page of map should be added to give a true picture of the community, Miller suggested. Capelle agreed to omit the eastern portion of the Chester Gap study area since it includes parts of what is thought to be Huntly and to add the forgotten subdivision on Route 610.

Today's Stills Produce Fuel, Not Whiskey By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahaaaoek News Staff Writer Alcohol fuels may not be the answer to reducing the country’s dependence on foreign oil imports but alcohol can be a source of independence to Virginia farmers who can produce enough for their own use. This optimistic appraisal came from Loudoun farmer Johnny Rocca who has successfully operated his own solar-powered still to produce alcohol fuel for his Jeep, truck, and other nondiesel farm machinery. Destilling alchol “will keep you from being priced out of farming by the increased cost of fuel,’’ Rocca told the audience at an alcohol production seminar held at Graves Mountain Lodge last week. The seminar, organized by area VPI extension agents, was the first of its kind in the state. Earl W. Smith, head of the Governor’s Task Force on Alcohol Production, an W. Warren Green, transportation and marketing officer from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and member of the task force were featured speakers. In explaining why the seminar was arranged, Rappahannock extension agent Rap Owings said he’s received numerous calls from folks who wanted to turn their 25-acre parcels into fuel production units. Most of those interested had no idea of the problems or the expense involved in alcohol production, Owings said. The seminar didn’t offer detailed, how-to-do-it instructions on putting a still together. Rather, it was a familiarization meeting, designed to help farmers make a decision on whether or not to go into alcohol production and where to get the “how-to” information. The use of4u*|hol as a fuel to power internal combustion engines is not new, said Smith in his opening remarks. Henry Ford ws a great pusher of alcohol and would have continued to use it in his early automobiles if gas hadn’t been selling then for nine to 16 cents per gallon, according to Smith. As late as World War II, alcohol was a widely accepted fuel, he continued nothing that Germany used alcohol to fill most of its power needs, including airplane fuel, during the war. This country is currently spending between $40 and $70 billion a year on imported oil. “We’re going to have to reduce that exchange if we’re going to survive as a nation,” Smith stated. According to Smith, use of alcohol fuels will: —provide a reliable market for U.S. grain, —decrease the country’s dependance on foreign oil, —expand motor fuel supplies, —decrease air pollution since alcohol is a more efficient, cleaner burning fuel with higher octane.

Not Gasohol Warren Green prefaced his remarks by noting that the state department of agriculture has not yet taken a position in total support of alcohol fuels on a commercial basis. “They haven’t made up their minds yet. They’re still doing research, "I can fully support onfarm production of alcohol for farm use,’’ Green added. "That’s 160 proof alcohol.” Green emphasized that he wasn’t talking about gasohol, a blend of 90 per cent unleaded gasoline and 10 per cent anhydrous, 200 proof alcohol. Instead, said Green, the task force is more interested in the process that results in anhydrous alcohol at 200 proof or hydrous alcohol at approximately 160 proof. Anhydrous alcohol costs between SI.60 and SI.80 a gallon to produce and is feasible only as a large scale operation, according to Green. The final product, however, can be legally sold. “As we stand here today, you can’t market less than 200 proof,” he said. Hydrous alconoi or ethanol can be produced for less than $1 a gallon, Green reported. This lower proof alcohol retains some water but will burn if it is 160 proof or more. Current regulations don’t allow hydrous alcohol to be sold but it is cheaper and easier to produce and is feasible to make on the farm. Green noted that the federal government is encouraging research in the use of alcohol fuels. In addition, he reported that Congress has directed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to simply simplify marketing regulations covering alcohol of less than 200 proof. So there are marketing possibilities in the future. Hydrous alcohol or ethanol can be made from almost any material that ferments, Green said. According to his figures, a bushel of corn will produce 2.65 gallons of alcohol, a bushel of mile 2.6 gallons, barley 2.5 gallons and rye 2.4 gallons. Beets, which can be grown in Virginia at 20 tons per acre, are another good raw material for alcohol production. Green said. Municipal solid waste can also be turned into alcohol but the technology to do so on a large scale won’t be perfected until 1985 at the earliest, according to Green. Running A Still Using corn for the raw material. Green gave an example of how a still operates. To turn five bushels of corn into alcohol fuel, the corn must firest be ground as fine as possible—3-16ths is optimal—and then mixed with 25 to 30 gallons of water per bushel in the first step of the cooking process. With the addition of two ounces of the, enzyme camalpha powder, the mash must be heated to 200 degrees with constant mixing and then held at that temperature for 15 minutes. In step two, the mash must be cooled to between 150 and 170 degrees by adding just enough water—approximately five gallons per bushel—to reach the lower temperature.

In step three, the mash must be cooled to 90 degrees as fast as possible with the addition of two ounces of gasolase and four ounces distillers yeast and fermented for two to three days before distilling. The liquid distillers grains from the process is very high in protein and makes an excellent animal feed supplement, according to Green. He recommended this byproduct highly as a cattle feed, especially for dairy cattle as some studies have shown 10 t6 12 percent increased milk production with this type of feed. Farmers producing alcohol fuel must decide how to use the mash, either to feed it to their own stock or sell it. When wet, said Green, the mash doesn’t keep long without souring and spoiling but the cost of drying distillers grains is normally high enough to eat into expected profits said Green. Currently, Dried Distillers Grain Solids (DDGS) sells for S125 per ton but drying costs to $80 or S90 per ton, according to Green. This market can change, he said, noting that DDGS now brings $220 per ton in Scotland. Cheaper When Wet “A minimum of 40 per cent of your operating costs will go for drying,” Smith agreed. “If you sell it wet or feed it yourself, you’ve gone one step further in minimizing your costs,” he said. If the wet mash is fed to cattle, Green continued, it’s best to pour it on hay or other bulk feed. Distillers grains can also be fed to hogs in a wet state but not on a daily basis. Percentage of total feed must be less for hogs than for cattle, according to Green. It can also be fed to chickens after it is first dried. He noted, however, that distillers grains aren’t widely used as a chicken feed. Chicken and hogs can t eat enough t of it in its wet state,” Smith interjected. “It’s too diluted to feed without a supplement” The single most expensive component of alcohol production is the heat source required to maintain the mash at high temperatures, according to Green. Wood, coal or lower cost agricultural waste materials such as peanut hulls, straw, corn hulls and saw dust can be burned, he said, but whichever is used, farmers must consider the net energy balance. "How much energy are you going to have to use to make a gallon of alcohol?” he said, noting that controversy exists over whether this balance is negative or positive. Alcohol produces 84,000 BTUs per gallon as compared to 154,000 per gallon for gasoline. While acknowledging that beverage distilleries are not very efficient, Green noted that they average approximately 120,000 BTUs to produce a gallon of alcohol. With newer, more efficient technology that recaptures much of the heat from the distillation process, a gallon of alcohol can be produced by burning only 30,000 BTUs, Green said. Solar Energy Loudoun farmer Johnny Rocca uses the sun as the source for heat in his still operation and can produce up to 25 gallons per hour of 160 proof hydrous alcohol. In coming up with his original design, Rocca said he traveled all over the country. “I went any place where there was a still to see what it was like and I adopted ideas Complete, One-Step * BUILDING. SUPPLY ^ • Paint a • Lumber ^^4p* • Millwork ; • Hardware Warranton Building Malarial Co., Inc. on ttM By*PoM Warrantor 847*1400 from everywhere. It does work,” he states with conviction. He opted for solar energy to heat his 275 gallon cooker—an upside down oil tank—but found that solar panels during winter months could generate only about 140 degrees while alcohol needed to be at 173 degrees to boil. Rocca said he bought a good vacuum pump, spending about SI,000, and with the vacuum, “Water boils at 134 degrees and alcohol at 122 degrees. Now the water coming off my solar panels is hot enough to do the job," he said. On cloudy days, Rocca said he uses a water jacket wood stove to heat the mash. To further reduce his costs by reducing the amount of energy required to run the still, Rocca said he’s experimenting with chemicals that will kill bacteria so he can eliminate the need for keeping the mash at a rolling boil. Yeast required for fermentation reproduces itself every four hours while the bacteria that grows on com reproduces every 20 minutes, said Rocca. Without either high temperatures or chemicals to kill the bacteria, it’s not hard to figure out that the bacteria are going to outdo the yeast, he added. Rocca said his total investment in his “down on the farm still” amounts to $10,000, including legal fees. His was the first permit in the state, he explained, and so he consulted attorneys to make sure his permits were all in order. Since publicity on the success of his still, Rocca has become somewhat of an alternate energy celebrity. “Two years age, 1 couldn't get anyone to come down my bumpy lane to visit me. Now I’ve had a plane try to land on that same lane,” he said. Rocca is a full-time farmer and so doesn’t have the time or the inclination to take dropin visitors for a tour of his still. But he said he’s willing to work with local extension agents in scheduling visits foi groups of area fanners in terested in trying alcohol fuel production. European! Ahead There are other stills operating but they’re not as convenient as Rocca’s in nearby Loudoun County. Green reported that fanners in Germany reduce 160 proof alcohol on over 1,600 onfarm stills. This hydrous alcohol is then collected and transported to a central location where it is further distilled to reach 200 proof anhyrdrous alcohol with the distillers grain by-products sold for livestock feed. Farmers in Switzerland have a similar network of stills but go one step further and use methane gas from cattle manure to produce the heat needed to keep the mash at a high temperature. “They’re all way ahead of us,” Green admitted. But Virginia and the rest of the United States are working to catch up. At the University of Pennsylvania, research is under way on fast growing hybrid poplar trees that can be used as the raw material for alcohol production. Green noted, however, that large scale cellulose production of alcohol probably won’t be technologically feasible until the 1990’s. VPI, among other in- | stitutions, is conducting research in the use of alcohol as a diesel fuel, Green continued. “The results are inconclusive...We haven’t gone far enough to know if we’ll have a diesel motor left afterwards,” he said. Within a year, he predicted, VPI will have information *on how best to use alchol as a diesel fuel. “Some manufacturing companies are already manufacturing tractors that run on alcohol,” he added. The technology is available. Green said, pointing to Brazil’s restructions on importing anything but alcohol burning engines, now made by Chrysler, General Motors, For, Toyota and Volkswagen. . By 1985, he noted, Brazil expects to convert completely to alcohol fuels throughout that South American county. Perwt It Proc— Virginia has streamlined the state permitting process for alcohol production. The Agriculture Opportunities Commission had recommended that responsibility for production, marketing and regulation be transferred from the Attorney General’s office to the Department of Agriculture. “The Governor thought it was a great idea—he wanted the farm vote in the next election,” Smith chuckled. Before applying for a state permit, an individual must first obtain a federal permit from the Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol and Firearms regional office in Philadelphia. Currently, a producer ma> get an experimental permil in approximately three weeks that will allow the production of 2,500 gallons of alcohol per year. A cash bond of $100 is also required. Acting at the direction of Congress, the BTAF is new in the process of changing its regulations, Green reported. As of June 1, the switch will be made to large (over 50,000 gallons), medium (25,000 to 50,000 gallons) and small (up to 25,000 gallons) permits. Green didn’t go into detail as to the information required by the BTAF but advised persons applying to keep a copy of all data submitted.

They both have their pros and cons and the ultimate decision normally rests with the individual’s style of living and needs. A ranch is appealing since living is all on one floor and there are no steps to climb. However, a ranch has disadvantages as well.

Northern Virginia Fox Hunters held their quarterly meeting in Culpeper and a field trial and bench show was planned for August. Gavor Foster of Flint Hill received a trophy for bagging the largest deer during the hunting season. The game contest was sponsored by the Rappahannock Fish and Game Club. 30 YEARS AGO Tl HE HOME of Miss Emily Berry near Woodvilie was damaged by fire. A defective chimney was the apparent cause of the afternoon blaze. In Flint Hill a large house occupied by Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Williams was completely destroyed by fire. Rappahannock Board of Supervisors set the tax levy for the year at $2.00 with $1.75 for schools; 10 cents for general fund and 15 cents for reassessment. A Baptist Training Union was organized at the Amissville Baptist Church with William Bywaters as director. The meat house of Sam Compton at Amissville was entered and about 11 or 12 pieces of meat were taken. Sheriff James Lillard and Trooper W. A. Bun tin were investigating the crime.

Letters To The Editor We Apologize To the editor: In reference to the article in last week's newspaper about V.F.D.'s in money crisis, I think someone owes Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department an apology for misinformation about having no water in the fire trucks. It is true that we are having financial difficulties. But as to go as far as saying that we have no water in our trucks because the heat has been turned off and the water would freeze! The heat has been turned off but only upstairs. It is on downstairs so we are able to keep our trucks full of water at all times. When there is a fire and we are called, we will respond with trucks full of water. That article gives Chester Gap Fire Department and its men a bad name. The fire department has enough trouble raising funds. What do you think that article will do to us? BRUCE WILLIAMS Chief, Chester Gap Volunteer Fire Department (Editor’s note: We apologize to the firemen from Chester Gap. We thought we had sufficient verification on reports that fire trucks were kept empty to prevent the water from freezing in the unheated fire hall. Obviously we were wrong and should have checked first with representatives from Chester Gap’s VFD. Again, we apologize for the misinformation and regret any embarassment we may have inadvertantly caused the members of Chester Gap’s Volunteer Fire Department.) Appreciation To the editor: The citizens of Rappahnnock County are to be complimented on their support of the Community Concert Association. Community Concerts Association is a non-profit plan which brings the finest artists to the stage in nearly 800 cities in the U.S. and Canada. 1979 was a first for Rappahannock public school students. A number of citizens gave a six-dollar student membership to Mrs. Judy Bomberger, music teacher in the schools. This gives many students an opportunity to see fine artists on stage at the Culpeper High School. Again the membership drive for 1980-81 season is in progress. I urge you not only to take advantage of this opportunity for yourself, but 1 to give a special consideration to providing a culture opportunity for students in our schools. FRANCES C. LYNE Handicapped Contribute To the editor: According to the 1970 Census, there were 11,265,000 handicapped people in the U. S. The majority of these people are courageous, hardworking, taxpaying citizens. Even if we forget our Christian duty and respect for human rights, it would be sound policy to educate the handicapped. Not only does this enable the handicapped to become happier, more efficient citizens, it also relieves the taxpayers of having to provide lifetime financial support. The earlier these children begin their education, the more likely they are to become taxpayers and not tax burdens. We are fortunate to have well qualified speech and special education teachers here. To label them babysitters is a great injustice. In addition, we have many excellent teachers in our schools who are not receiving the support they deserve from the school board. In most classes, each teacher has about thirty students. This must be like trying to hold thirty corks under the water and teach them something at the same time. The parents, administration, teachers and school board should be interested in the same thing—our young people. They are our future. ESTER SETTLE Flint Hill Participation Needed To the editor: As many of the members and friends of the Rappahannock Historical Society know, the society is planning to sponsor a Civil War battle reenactment to be hosted by the First North-South Brigade. We hope to raise several thousand dollars through this project which will;be used to retire the debt on our restored building in Washington. Several meetings were scheduled earlier this year at which we hoped to organize the membership into committees to formulate specific plans for this worthwhile event and to carry those plans into effect. Unfortunately all of these meetings were either poorly attended or cancelled due to inclement weather. This letter is to advise you that our planning meeting has been rescheduled for Thursday, April 17, 1980 at the Courthouse building in Washington at 7:30 p.m. We need a minimum of twentyfive people to act as committee chairmen and cochairmen. If your schedule will not permit you to attend the meeting, please contact either Jimmy Debergh (675-3708) or Dave Konick (937-4364) and let one of us know you are willing to work on this project. In the event we do not receive enough support from the membership at the April 17th meeting, we will have no alternative but to cancel our plans for this project. DAVID L. KONICK Rappahannock Historical Society I Farmers Market Meeting Planned Rappahannock Farmers Market members will meet Thursday, April 17, at 7:30 p.m. at the Courthouse to plan for the 1980 season. Anyone interested is welcome to attend. Brown Completes Communications Airman Wade T. Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs. George R. Hagerty of Sperryville, has been assigned to Kelly Air Force Base, Texas, following graduation from the U. S. Air Force communications course at Sheppard Air Force Base in Wichita Falls. Graduates of the course earn credits toward an associate degree in applied science through the Community College of the Air Force. Airman Brown learned to operate teletypewriter equipment used in the worldwide Air Force communications system. The airman is a 1979 graduate of Rappahannock County High School. Oatlands Set For Sunday The 14th annual Oatlands Point-To-Point will be held on Sunday at the historic Oatlands estate south of Leesburg with an eight-race card featuring the four-mile William Corcoran Eustis Cup over timber. The Oatlands race committee has boosted the 1980 Eustis Cup purse to $2,000, doubling the total offered several years ago when this became the first race on the spring point-topoint horse racing circuit to offer a purse. Although a fledgling in the traditionsteeped sport of timber racing, the Eustis Cup, at age 14, has established itself as the major test for horses headed into the sanctioned racing season and counts among its past winners some of the finest timber horses of the last decade and a half. Sharing top billing at Oatlands with the Eustis Cup are the Times-Mirror Cup and First Colony Hurdle, each representing the Leesburg stop in the pair of hotly contested spring series competitions. The three-mile Times-Mirror Corners ownerrider competition over timber, while the First Colony is run over a one and three quarter mile hurdle course. Post time for the first race is 1:30 p.m., kicking off the day with the First Colony, to be followed by a ladies timber race run at three miles over the Times-Mirror course. Carded third is the Judge J. R. H. Alexander Memorial, a two and a half mile hurdle race which has long been a mainstay of the Oatlands meet. Fourth on the card is a three-mile open timber race followed by the Times-Mirror Cup for owner rider points toward the Seven Corners Championship. Scheduled sixth is an open hurdle race at one and three quarter miles as the prelude to the Eustis Cup, which is run over its own course featuring a set of back-toback stone walls and imposing timber fences. The afternoon’s racing will wind up at 5 p.m. with a two mile flat race. Gates will open at 11:30 a.m. at the Oatlands course, which is located four miles south of Leesburg on Rt. IS. Cattle Herds The inventory of cattle and calves on U.S. farms showed very little change as of Jan. 1, 1980 from the year earlier count. In most every category, numbers continued well below the peak reached in January 1975. According to K.C. Williamson, Extension specialist in animal science at Virginia Tech, total cows and beef cows in the United States held about the same as a year earlier, indicating cowcalf producers were reluctant to expand herds. An eight percent increase in beef replacement heifers, which figures to be over 16 percent of the beef herd, suggests some increase in the cow herd is planned for 1980. A noteworthy part of the cattle inventory was the significant increase in cattle numbers made in Virginia over the past year, said Williamson. Total cattle numbers in the Commonwealth increased 13 percent, all cows increased 16 percent and beef cows were up 21 percent over a year earlier. Alternative Energy Fair The Piedmont Alliance for Safe Energy is sponsoring an alternative energy fair on Friday and Saturday, April 11 and 12, in the Charlottesville Mall. The fair’s primary focus is information exchange. Solar, wind, biomass conversion, >^mall scale hydroelectric technologies and con* servation exhibits will be included. Some participants will also present short talks and —or side shows. In addition, PASE will show several movies during the fair, including: — “Energy: New Sources,” a survey of alternatives to nuclear power, — "The Other Way,” an exploration of E.F. Schumacher’s concepts of “intermediate technology” and “small is beautiful,” — “The Solar Promise,” a recent general solar film, — “Gusts of Power,” wind energy film from the Department of Energy, — “Mac’s Mill,” an example of sound forest management and small scale hydroelectric applications. Local musicians have volunteered their time and talents to entertain fair goers both Friday and Saturday. Presentations will include display of a methane digester, slide show on solar greenhouses, windmill design, display of a solar shower by the Twin Oaks Community, solar greenhouse for supplemental heating space, energy conservation through architectural design, what the homeowner can do to conserve energy, solar and nature-drive heating and cooling of buildings with ground storage and low cost radiant panel output and recycling.

Report Deadline Nears People receiving social security benefits who earned more than the annual exempt amount on wages or self* employment during 1979, have until April IS, 1980, to file an annual report of their earnings, according to Bruce A. Hundley, manager in the Culpeper SS office. The 1979 annual exempt amount was S3,480 for people under 6S all of the year and $4,500 for people 65 or over. In general, a person has SI in benefits withheld for each S2 of annual earnings over the exempt amount. The annual report is used by the Social Security Administration to determine whether the person received the correct amount of benefits during 1979. If too much or too little was paid, any adjustment necessary is made after the annual report is received. A special monthly test is used during a person’s first year of retirement. Under this test, a person can receive a benefit for a month in which he or she did little or no work regardless of total annual earnings. Most people who need to Tile a report should have received one in the mail. If a person did not receive a form, or lost or misplaced the one he or she received, additional copies of the annual report form can be obtained at the Culpeper social security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 825-3500. The people at the office will be glad to answer any questions. They also have a leaflet, “If you work after you retire,” which contains more information about the annual earnings test. The annual exempt amount for 1980 is $3,720 for people under 65 and $5,000 for people 65 or over. The Little Fox

Included in the consignment are cattle from the herds of P. T. Mclntire & Sons, White Post, Bellevue Farm, Boyce, Bleak Hill Farm, Woodville, Ellerslie Farm and Ginger Hill Farm, Washington. The purchase of Angus cattle is a prudent decision for the owner of small country property in these times of high prices for everything.

With adequate care an Angus cow can be expected to continue producing for eight to ten years in the future.

Sperryville Bike-A-Thon For St. Jude^s Hospital Saturday May 17 is the date of Sperryville's special Bike-A-Thon for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Riders will be asking local citizens to pledge a small contribution for each mile they ride. Mrs. Ruth Williams, chairman, explained “All the money that our local riders earn will help continue St. Jude's life-saving study of childhood cancer that has become so important to children all over the world. We’ll be showing how much we care about children by helping this cause. Please support your rider with a generous pledge, and then, help them get the funds to us as soon as possible after the ride is over." Riders will be given lap cards when they register at the Farmers’ Co-op Parking lot at 12:30 p.m. Each time a rider completes a lap, this card will be checked as proof of how far each participant rides. Riders will then return to their sponsors to collect their total pledges. Riders will be given a hospital bracelet reading, “I’m Riding for Lisa” to wear during the ride. Most of them will still be wearing them while they make their collections. Lisa is a St. Jude patient who represents all victims of the illnesses under study at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The route starts at the Farmer’s Co-op Parking lot, and will be a three mile course down the Shade Road. Riders may ride it as often as they wish. Sponsor sheets may be obtained at the Rappahannock Elementary School. Mrs. Williams may be reached at 987-8327 for further information.

Silver Spring, Md. __28j5 Panthers Fall In First Game Rappahannock's varsity Panthers opened their baseball season last Wednesday, April 3, with a 9-1 loss against William Monroe’s Dragons. Jim Logan described the game as the most confusing of his entire career as a coach. “We beat them in everything except runs,” Logan said. "Our pitchers had 13 strikeouts, our team had 12 hits and we only committed two errors. Our defense was superior to the Dragons',” he maintained. During the entire game, William Monroe left only two runners on base at the end of an inning. “They just seemed to get the runs when they were needed,” Coach Logan said. Rappahannock’s only run came in the sixth inning when Jeff Jenkins hit a bomber over the right field fence.

Maurice O'Ban non 987-8713 taoie wayland 987 8153 Bud Cordftr 636-6891 JV Opener Thursday New coach Bob Edmonson is satisfied with the first junior varsity baseball team he’s fielding this year at RCHS. According to Edmonson, the team is strong on experience. All the starting unit has had at least one year’s experience at the JV level. The junior Panthers have team speed so Edmonson is relying on his players stealing bases whenever possible. This tactic may balance some potential weakness in tfie batter’s box. Scheduling hasn’t helped the team. The JV must face the Luray Bulldogs, one of the district's toughest opponents, in an away game this Friday after opening at home against Culpeper on Thursday afternoon. One of the JV’s biggest drawbacks this year has been the lack of practice time on their home field. All spring, the junior Panthers have worked out at the elementary school while the varsity has used the high school field where home games will be played. Edmonson is afraid he may face some problems with weaknesses in pitching and infielding, areas that he feels are untried. He described progress as coming along slowly but is satisfied with improvements in performance. Playing for the junior varsity are Ritchie Burke, pitcher; first base and outfield, Jimmy Bywaters; Mike Fletcher and Rusty Settle in the outfield; Marie speeding 66/55, reduced to 64/55, $22 fine S18 costs.

Stills Can Provide Farm Fuels (Continued from Page 3) permit is issued, the prospective alcohol producer must send a copy along with a one-page application form to the Virginia Department of Agriculture for a state permit. No cash bond is required—a change from the $10,000 bond and multi-page application called for in Virginia up until just three weeks ago when new permit standards went into effect. “Permitting should not be the thing that keeps you from going into the business,” Cars Considered (Continued from Page 1) Baldwin asked for the sheriffs projected salary increase in the coming fiscal year. “We’re getting quite an increase,” Buntin acknowledged, stating that his salary will go from approximately $12,000 to over $18,000. Supervisor Hubert Gilkey noted that the sheriffs raise and increases to $19,500 for the commissioner of revenue and country treasurer were set by the General Assembly. Deputies Get Leu “What about the deputies?” asked Baldwin. “If they’re getting enough salary, then they can afford to buy their own gas.” Buntin replied that the General Assembly had raised minimum starting pay for deputies to $10,270 with a maximum, depending on years of experience, of $14,000. The raise works out to approximately $2,000 a vear. he said. Buntin informed the supervisors that deputy Steve Crossman recently had to replace his vehicle when the car was damaged during a chase after a stolen automobile. "I think we’re coming down to the point where we’re going to have to do something,” said chairman E. P. Luke. Supervisor H. B. Wood suggested buying fewer than four vehicles since only one car will be on the road at a time. He also proposed buying smaller compact automobiles rather than foilsized ones. Buntin countered that purchasing a single vehicle to be used by whichever deputy is on duty will depreciate the car in one year rather than three or four. He reported that other local sheriffs departments have not been satisfied with compacts. “They’re not made for police cars...They can’t do the job,” Buntin said. Noting that the county already gets free radio service from the state police and Culpeper sheriffs department, Buntin said “now is the time for us to start catching up.” He assigned number one priority to county cars. Seconding the sheriffs opposition to compact cars for police work, deputy Crossman suggested that the supervisors “try loading up a passed-out drunk in a Volkswagon.” Deputy Rett Thompson added that the county could be liable for injuries, particularly back injuries, that may result from trying to stuff an arrested person into a small car. Thompson also pointed out the difficulties in driving on the county’s deeply rutted gravel roads in a compact car. Trying to navigate his own medium size vehicle on back roads, the deputy said, "I’ve walked three-fourths of a mile to serve a . paper. I’ve walked as much as half a mile to tell someone ‘You’re under arrest.’ ” While serving papers at night, Thompson continued, “I’ve had a gun pulled on me three times and I’ve been shot at once because they didn't know who I was (without a marked police car).” Buntin interjected that the department has at times borrowed Crossman’s fourwheel drive vehicle in order to get up into hollows and byways. Countering the argument that using small cars will result in substantial gas savings, Buntin said everyone in his department currently drives a mediumsized auto with no one getting more than 15 miles per gallon: “From a practical point, we cannot expect people to put any of their personal resources into the county,” stated Luke. If the county wants to proyide its citizens with a service, ‘‘we must either pay for it or do without,” he said, noting that local employees need all of their salary just to live. Luke asked sheriff Buntin to draw up a balance sheet, showing mileage costs and costs involved with purchasing cars. He also instructed Buntin to give the supervisors information on prices and gas consumption of compacts. Luke maintained that the supervisors need to examine the option of compacts so if they’re asked why they didn’t authorize purchase of economy cars, they’ll have an explanation. In a final remark, Buntin told the board that he and his deputies provide their own guns as well as cars. “They cost S25B to $300,” he said, adding that the county doesn’t own even one gun. Green emphasized. In addition to the licensing changes authorized by the last session of the General Assembly, the legislature also passed a bill that allows locality to exempt from local property taxes all equipment used in the manufacturing of alcohol from farm products, Green reported. In addition to allowing tax write-offs her alternative energy production, the federal government has some grants and low-cost loans available for farmers involved in alcohol production, according to Green. Information can be obtained from Steve Potts, director of alcohol energy at the Department of Energy in Washington, D. C. In Virginia, money is available in guaranteed loans and grants from the Farmers Home ' Administration. Interested persons should contact Ed Ragland, state director for U.S.D.A., P.O. Box 10106, Richmond, Virginia, 23240 or telephone 804-771-2451. According to Green, money is “going begging” at the Economic Development Administration. Contact person for that organization is David Wenzlaff, P.O. Box 10053, Richmond. Va. 23240, telephone 804-771-2567. Those who want in* formation on alcohol production rather than funding can write Dr. Harold Hughes at VPI in Blacksburg or call 703-% 1-6809 and ask for the packet on alcohol fuels. An excellent book, “Fuel From Farms”, can also be obtained free as long as copies last from the Technical Information Center, USDOE, P.O. Box 62, Oakridge, Tenn. 37830. Green said the book is also available for $4.50 from the Superintendent of Public Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office.. Washington, D.C. 20402. In writing to GPO, Green emphasized, be sure to ask for stock number 061-00000372-0 instead of'“Fuel from Farms.” Col. E.C. Hooper from Orange County, who recently attended a national conference . in San Antonio, Texas, on renewable fuels had a final remark. With all the new research into production of alcohol fuels, "what we’re seeing is an industrial revolution that’s trying to re-invent the wheel. The ancient Egyptians even knew about alcohol fuels. We’re just trying to apply that knowledge to modern day technology.” property dating HOW about some CABIN FEVER??!! 2 rooms and bath on 3 acres joining Shenandoah National Park, trails up Old Rag in Madison County. $31,000.
