According to a report from county engineer Fanning Baumgardner, almost 5,000 feet of two inch and one inch galvanized main pipes need replacement in Washington’s water system. Brad Fisher, town treasurer and chief chemist for the water quality laboratories of the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, explained that there are no difficulties with Washington’s water quality. Samples from the town well “surpass all EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) safe drinking water act limits," he said. Instead, pipe problems have been caused by acidic soil corroding the mains from the outside, according to Fisher. “Ninety-nine per cent of the pitting in the pipes has come from the outside,” he emphasized. At the same time the 3,485 feet of two-inch main and 1,360 feet of one-inch main are being replaced, Fisher suggested also installing isolation valves so the entire water system doesn t have to be shut down whenever any portion of the lines are being repaired. In addition, he proposed expanding storage capacity beyond the 100,000 gallon tank currently in use, installing modern chlorinating equipment and putting in meters so it can be determined how much water is leaving the system. Comparing the flow rate with usage will allow leaks to be monitored, Fisher explained. Rate Increase Necessary Mayor Newbill Miller noted that the town has some money in the bank but would have to borrow additional funds to finance water system improvements. It will be necessary, he said, to raise the town’s water rates—described as the lowest in Virginia—in order to repay the loan. Since 75 per cent of the system’s customers use less than the maximum 3,000 gallons, both the base rate and the 1,000 gallon rate will have to be increased, according to Fisher. Currently, users are charged S3 for up to 3,000 gallons, ten cents per 100 gallons up to 10,000 gallons and 20 cents per hundred gallons over 10,000. “I didn’t think I’d ever live long enough to see this day,” interjected Fran Eldred, referring to the improvements to the outdated water system. “It hasn’t happened yet,” joked the mayor, sparking a round of chuckles from the council members and the audience. Fisher continued that the old pitted pipe can be replaced with cement-lined iron pipe coated with tar on the outside as protection against the acidic soil. The cement-lined type will be more resistant to corrosion “but it does have its drawbacks,” he noted. According to Fisher, water flowing through the new pipes will have a very disagreeable—but harmless—taste and odor for the first six to eight months of use. "When the springs come back in the fall, we can flush out the system,” Miller interjected, adding that this will eliminate the worst of the taste and odor associated with the new pipe. The mayor pointed out a seemingly contradictory aspect of Washington’s water system: that to conserve water, at least for 10 months of the year, customers should use more. If the water is used, it is returned to the water table (Continued on Page 4) —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne HotdAnaon KIRSTEN TIEMER, an exchange student from Bremen, Germany^ is spending a year with the Bradford Fisher family in Washington. When she arrived in the states, Kirsten was surprised to find U.S. teenagers walking around on shoes like the rest of the world. Thanks to the way the press has played up “roller mania,” she expected to see America’s youth all on roller skates. Exchange Student Ready For School By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Callers to Brad and Dawn Fisher’s Washington home have been surprised into thinking they’ve mistakenly New Faces Join County Teachers When school starts on Monday, new faces will outnumber the old, at least on the teaching staff at Rappahannock Elementary School. Sixteen teachers who weren’t in the county system last year will accompany youngsters to class. Three first year teachers will begin at the primary level: Sheila Elaine Parker of Richmond, a graduate of Longwood College: Nancy Leigh Davis of Glen Clove, New York, a graduate of Lynchburg College and Anne Lindsay Carter of Fairfax, a graduate of University of Virginia. In the expanding field of special education, Rappahannock elementary school will greet six new people, four of them first year teachers.

Dorian Lynn Brown of Richmond. a graduate of Smith College in Maine, will teach the combination class for emotionally disturbed and learning disabled children. Another first year teacher, VPI and SU graduate Sally Brand of Sperryville, will be the earth science instructor. Rose Ann Sharp of Huntly, a graduate of UVa with one year’s experience, will teach special education at the high school, and Corinne Stine of Scranton, Pennsylvania, who graduated from East Stroudsburg State College. The new self-contained class for learning disabled students will be taught by Mary Jane McCarthy of Alexandria, a graduate of City University of New York with a master’s degree from the University of Oregon and four years teaching experience. Mollie Hobson will return to take over her former position as teacher in the Title 1 math lab. Physical education at the elementary school will be taught by Teresa A. McLawhorn of Roanoke, a graduate of Longwood College. In the upper elementary grades, the school board has hired six first year teachers: Pearl Dodson Barron of Bealeton, a graduate of Mary Washington College; Valerie L.

The mysterious phone voice with tones so different from those of rural Virginia hills belongs to Kirsten Tiemer, 16-year-old foreign exchange student from Bremen, Germany. Under the auspices of Youth For Understanding, an exchange jjrogram which sends young men and women from Germany to ' the United States, Kirsten is spending a year in Rappahannock. Kirsten, who plans to be a foreign correspondent, felt she needed a knowledge of other customs and cultures to help her break into a difficult field. After spotting an advertisement for AFS exchange programs in her local paper, she applied there first, hoping to find a temporary home in the U. S. or another overseas country. ‘‘They didn’t take me so then I applied to YFU which sends us only to America.” She grinned widely. “Now I’m happy that I am here and not some place else overseas.” She’s had a few weeks to get acclimated since her arrival on August 1 and is as ready for the start of school as any other youngster facing an end to idle days of summer. She’ll be a junior this year at Rappahannock County High School where she’ll take U. S. history, biology, honors English, typing, French III and algebra II. The only difference is that no matter how well she does, even with straight “A’s”, she’ll have to repeat her junior year when she returns to Germany. “This year here doesn’t count,” she explained. Kirsten has already jumped into the life of an American teenager by trying out for the RCHS girls basketball team. She’s (Continued on Page 4) Male Singers Needed Male singers and actors are desparately needed for the Rappahannock County Library’s production of “H.M.S. Pinafore” to be performed October 3 and 4 at the theater on Gay Street. Auditions Monday night drew a crowd but most of the theatrical hopefuls were female. Director Don Bomberger emphasized that a professional singing voice is not necessary for a part in the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. All it takes is enthusiasm and the ability to carry a tune. Anyone interested in trying out for a role may call the library at 675-3780 or Mr. and Mrs. Waldron O’Conner at 675-3283 to schedule an audition. Woodville Fights For Post Office Hours By SEAN KILPATRICK Rappahannock News Special Writer "To keep this post office open one additional hour a day would be most generous. What you are asking for is going far beyond what we can offer—beyond our guidelines for running this type of business." That is what Thomas Leavey of the Charlottesville Post Office told patrons of the Woodville Post Office here Tuesday night. More than 75 persons crowded into the Sunday School room of the Woodville Baptist Church to meet with Leavey, sectional center manager in Charlottesville, and William Hunt, who is director of customer services there. Unlike other post offices in Rappahannock County, Woodville is a contract office. That is, Mrs. Ruth Orange, the postmaster, contracts yearly with the post office to provide the service. This year the Post Office is paying her $3,286, according to Hunt. Out of that she must pay the rent on the building and also pay for the utilities. What is left over is her salary. In past years Mrs. Orange had kept the office open from 7:30 in the morning to 2 in the afternoon. Several months ago. when her contract was up for renewal, the post office told her that they would not raise her pay, but to get her up to minimum wage, they would cut her hours; she was ordered to open the office only 3Vj hours a day. The Potft Office made no allowance for rental costs when computing her wage. When the office hours were cut back, Woodville citizens screamed. Letters were written. Petitions were signed. Leavey reacted by conducting a survey of the use made of the Woodville Post Office. Leavey and Hunt came up from Charlottesville to discuss that survey, made by Sperryville postmaster Mrs. Aline Johnson, with Woodville residents. "Based on stamp revenue and post office usage, this office should be open only about 20 hours a week. At present this office is open 21 hours a week,” Hunt said. ‘‘We feel the hours currently alloted to Woodville are sufficient,” Leavey added. The people at the meeting did not agreed. Supervisor H. B. Wood kept returning to the central complaint: “Can’t you just give us 2V) hours back?” Hunt and Leavey were curiously unprepared for the meeting. They knew exactly how much it cost the Post Office to provide service at Woodville, and exactly how much service (in terms of visits and stamp sales) was being provided. But they would not compare those figures to any other post office. Not to Sperryville; not to Huntly; not to any of the comparable post offices in the area. Although Leavey insisted that in the case of Woodville. the hours of service be strictly cost related to the amount of business, he again and again refused to disucss any other post office in the same terms. After throwing out numbers that made no sense. Hunt finally said that at the current rate paid Mrs. Orange, it would cost the Post Office about $2,500 a year more to keep the office open an additional 2Vi hours a day. By comparison, a regular postal employee has a starting salary of more than $10 an hour, Leavey noted. James J. Kilpatrick pointed out that when compared to the post office’s annual income of $14 billion or so, “The additional cost here is so small as to be insignificantr” "In the end it comes down to service,” said Robert Beattie of Woodville. “And right now you are getting a bigger bang for the buck here in Woodville than anywhere else. If you paid Mrs. Orange three times as much, you would still be getting a bigger bang for the buck here,” he added. For Methodist Church By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Despite charges of secret backroom dealing, the Washington town council members voted unanimously at last Wednesday’s meeting to trade the Gay Street fire hall owned by the town for the old Methodist church further down the block. According to Washington mayor Newbill Miller, the swap was worked out last month in executive session with W ashington attorneys Peter Luke and Sharon Genebach Luke, contract owners of the church. Noting that the town holds title to the monument lot next to the church. Miller said this area could be used as a drainfield for the building which currently lacks plumbing. Trading the fire hall for the move valuable church will increase the worth of town property, said Miller who is also a real estate agent recognized by Virginia courts as an expert appraiser. Peter Luke explained that the contract on the church, valued at $32,000, will be assigned to the town and, in turn, he and his wife will take title to the fire hall. Annual payments made by the Lukes for the fire hall will equal the amount of the town’s payments on the church so the town won’t have to spend any extra funds for the building, Luke noted. The transaction will benefit both parties, he continued, since the town wants the church but doesn’t want to spend any money for it while, for the Luke’s purposes, the fire hall is much more suitable for renovating into office space. In order for the church to be remodeled into law offices, arrangements would first have to be made to lease or purchase land for a septic field so bathrooms could be installed. The town, if it wanted to put toilet facilities in the church, wouldn’t face this problem since the monument lot next door, which the town already owns, could be used for the field. Luke said plans call for the fire hall to be renovated for law offices for he and his wife only, that space would not be sublet. In addition, he noted that the ladies auxiliary of the fire department could continue to use the building for their thrift shop through November, the time the shop is normally closed for the season. If the trade agreement is approved, Luke said, the fire department would have 60 days from settlement on September 15 to transfer equipment nnd materials stored in the hall to the new Washington fire department building on the carnival grounds. No Notice To WVFD “Has any information on this been provided to the fire department?” asked Charlie Manson, town resident and member of the Washington Volunteer Fire Department. Miller replied that the department had not been officially notified. He added, however, that town treasurer Brad Fisher who is also treasurer and member of the fire department, was a party to all discussions on the proposed trade. Manson countered that the fire department holds a 99 Year lease from the town for the fire hall, an agreement that has at least SO more years before expiration. “Do you have a copy of the lease?” asked Miller. “Do you have a copy of the town ordinances?" Manson retorted, in reference to Washington's local town laws which have been missing for at least two years. “No, I don’t have a copy of the lease,” he said. Luke interjected that in researching the deed for the fire hall, he'd found no mention of any 99 year lease. Manson argued that a 99 year lease, had been granted to the squad despite the absence of any records and insisted later that enough people were aware of this agreement to constitute proof for a court of law that the lease existed. An Issue With FD “Do you think the fire department’s going to make an issue of this?” Miller inquired. “Yes, I do,” answered Manson. He reported that the new Fire department building was only half finished and that the squad had received no public assistance and no help from the town in completing the project. He maintained that the building doesn't have adequate storage space for the equipment now kept in the fire hall or room for the ladies auxiliary to operate their thrift shop. The council’s proposed action to trade the fire hall for the church will reduce fire protection for the community, according to Manson. “I’m ashamed of you people.” he told the council. “Who owns the building?" asked Paul Walker, a charter member of the fire company. When the mayor replied that the town held title to the fire hall. Walker claimed that the fire department had "contributed substantially toward construction” of the hall. “Whether we have a record of that, I don’t know,” he added. I can t understand why the fire department wants to be obstructionist about this when it’s a good deal for the town,” Miller responded. "You’re putting the ladies auxiliary out on the street,” leaving the fire department without adequate space for equipment storage after withholding any notification of the proposed property trade "and you’re calling us obstructionist?’’ Manson countered. Shop In Church? “What would prohibit putting the thrift shop into the church?,” inquired Pali Delevitt. “It’s an ideal place.” Miller said that he personally had no objections to doing just that and guessed that the council members would support such a move. “Why suddenly is the town so hot to buy the church?” asked Fran Eldred, proprietor of the Washington House of Reproductions. “You represent the people of this town. The people know nothing about this,’’ she maintained, adding that she and others were “absolutely aghast” when they first heard word of the deal on Wed(Continued on Page 4)

IT RfAlTOI THE RIGHT PRICE We all learn from other people’s mistakes. But unfortunately, some of us have to be the “other people”. One of these mistakes can be setting the wrong selling price on your house. An underpriced house will sell fast, but the owner will lose money. An over-priced house will not move at all, and many excellent buyers will be lost to others. What your house is worth is not what you think it is, or what the buyer might think it is. Its true value is determined by its location, the general economic climate, the current local real estate situation, the age of the property and the wear and tear it has seen. Call in a wellestablished local REALTOR for this vital determination. He’s experienced in real estate evaluation and is in constant touch with the local market. He knows what homes are selling at what prices. It’s a nice feeling to have him w orking on your side right from the start.

Va 22747 HOURS: 8:30 a m to 5:30 p m . Mon -Fri. Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, AUGUST 21,1980 Final Appeal We ve learned a lot about cancer in writing the four-part series that ends in this week’s Rappahannock News. We’ve learned to cope with our irrational fears, a fear shared by millions of Americans, and to look at cancer more realistically. The disease is real. It’s the fear of cancer that’s the boogie man, the imaginary shadow lurking in a dark, corner at 2a.m. Cancer is treatable. There’s no 100 per cent cure and maybe there never will be. Maybe the secret of why cells erupt and begin crazy, uncontrolled divisions is the same secret that could tell us why cells age and die, the secret to life itself. But even without that 100 per cent cure, the prognosis is improving. More and more patients are living past the five year mark, thanks to the break throughs in battle lines won inch by expensive inch through medical research. We are engaged in all-out war with the disease and if cancer won’t run up the white flag of unconditional surrender, we want to at least force a truce with conditions favorable to mankind. At the front of our armies in this notso-imaginary war is the American Cancer Society, the organization that recently donated $2 million to research on interferon, the most promising new avenue of cancer research. That’s at the national level. At the local level, our chapter provides help to cancer patients and their families through individual volunteers who assist with transportation to hospitals for treatment and by a group effort through the society’s loan closet of expensive sickroom equipment. Our unit has also organized screening clinics for oral and skin cancer and co-sponsors with the health department a regular pap clinic for the detection of uterine cancer. All of this work and more, both nationally and locally, is funded by donations collected door-to-door. This year, the annual cancer crusade in Rappahannock County fell embarassingly short of its goal. We still must raise an additional $300 to meet what has been determined as our fair share. In a sense, we’re the infantry, the foot soldiers who carry the burdens but reap little of the glory in any campaign. But, with a donation to the Cancer Society, we share in the credit along with the doctors and researchers for any victories won in the cancer wars. There’s still time for Rappahannock residents to contribute before the crusade closes on August 31. Those who haven’t given this year are urged to make a donation. Inflation has pinched everyone’s budget but even a dollar will help. Contributions to the Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society may be mailed to crusade co-chairmen Dot Mank, RFD 1, Box 108-A, or Pauline Bruce, P.O. Box 26, both in Washington or to Society president Karen Tornedan in Flint Hill. It’s a war we must fight for a better chance at survival. Water Rates To Be Upped (Continued from Page 1) that feeds the town springs after it is purified and percolated through the soil in septic fields. If the water is not used, it’s carried off by streams and rivers to the ocean, according to Miller. Regular Flushing Once the new pipes are installed, said Fisher, the town can begin a regular sixmonth flushing schedule which should eliminate the muddy, discolored water caused by the fire company’s opening of fire hydrants. Flushing the system now, he added, would probably result in additional leaks. The council proposed rate increases of 40 per cent—to $4.20 for the base rate of 3,000 gallons with 14 cents per 100 gallons over that charged for up to 10,000 gallons. New rates will be formally established after a public hearing and vote at the council's September 10 meeting. A decision on a town leasn law was also delayed until the same time. Miller reported that the issue was being considered in response to complaints about loose dogs bothering both visitors and town residents. He added that he’d been unable to find any record of an earlier town leash law in an old copy of Washington’s ordinances provided by Miss Ruby Jenkins. The existing laws apparently speak to dogs only on the point that all animals must be treated humanely, Miller said. “Is there any way we can see a copy of the ordinances?” asked Charlie Manson. Miller answered that he hadn’t brought Miss Jenkins’ copy to Wednesday’s meeting but promised to do so for the council’s September 10 session. Returning to the subject of a leash law, Miller said he’d received three calls in opposition to the proposal. He noted that two people had registered complaints on roaming dogs at the council’s July meeting and that there •had been an additional | complaint prior to that time. He emphasized that the council members didn’t intend actually to adopt an ordinance that night but rather wanted to know the feelings of town residents. Nipping Dogs Rex Lindstroiri' ireported that he’d been followed by z dogs nipping at his heels as he walked down the street and had to contend with strays messing up his yard and shrubbery. But he also maintained that dogs under control without a leash should be allowed to walk unencumbered with their owners. Pali Delevitt reported that she had not been “noticeably hassled" by dogs and suggested the proposed leash law be modified to allow dogs under control of their owner to walk without a leash. "I can’t even go visiting my neighbors at night," said Mrs. Irving Sisk, adding that she was afraid of being attacked by stray dogs. “I can’t even go out,” she stated. “You don't have a dog under control unless he’s on a leash,” maintained Mrs. Charles Burke. “Dogs are very unpredictable.” Fran Eldred repeated concerns she expressed at the July meeting regarding dogs attacking visitors in town, particularly evening customers of The Inn. Mrs. Burke added that Front Royal, Warrenton and Culpeper all have leash laws. “But we don’t have any town police or any town tax,” countered councilwoman Dorothy Hawkins, questioning who would enforce Washington’s leash law. Mrs. Robbie Critzer argued that dogs should be kept on a leash but allowed to run free once a day. “To attack someone?” demanded Mrs. Burke, insisting that dogs had on an earlier occasion taken after her until they were distracted by a pick-up with other dogs in the back. June Jordan asked if the ordinance could be written so that it applied only to problem-causing dogs while allowing well-behaved animals their freedom. One Bite State “Virginia is a one bite state," said Washington attorney Peter Luke in explaining legalities involved with a leash ordinance. "The dog gets one free bite...That puts the owner on notice that the dog is vicious. Then the owner may be found negligent if the dog bites a second time,” he explained. "But if you have a leash law and a person is bitten by a dog running loose, the person bitten has easier legal recourse.” As for enacting a dog nuisance law that will require only problem dogs to be leashed. Luke said he didn’t know if this would be allowed under state enabling legislation. Councilman C. E. Giles suggested that state enabling legislation be researched to determine what type of ordinance the town can enact with the proposed law to be voted on at the September council meeting. His motion passed unanimously. Exchange Student (Continued from Page 1) impressed by the team and other opportunities for extracurricular activities here, explaining that her gymnasium, • the German equivalent of high school, offers little else than academics. A city girl from Bremen, one of Germany’s major ports, she’s not used to American country living. “The people all know each other and talk. They’re so friendly to each other. In the city, it’s not like that,” she said of her hometown. In addition to pleasant surprises, she’s met at least one big disappointment here in the lack of any kind of public transportation system. Gone are the buses, streetcars and trains which carry German youngsters, even those from outlying rural areas, into entertainment centers where they can bowl or watch the cinema. Here, Kirsten has found, it’s a car or shank's mare. And the biggest blow is that she can't get the driver’s license that would provide her with an alternative to being chauffeured or walking. “YFU says we can't,” she explained with a grimace. But she has enough to keep her busy. In addition to school work presented in a second language, she has a wide range of hobbies, including piano, painting, photography and reading. "And now I play basketball too,” she grinned. So far, she hasn’t been homesick for her 15-year-old brother or her parents, both elementary teachers in Bremen. "The Fishers are just wonderful. I feel like a real family member.” Cancer: Boogieman Of Our Modem Age — Research Is Pulling Ahead In The Fight For Survival By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nfw* Staff Writer Scientists pursue a cure for cancer with the fervor of a Ponce De Leon searching for the fountain of youth or an ancient alchemist looking for the magic formula for gold. And while they've failed so far in finding the one answer to the cancer riddle, that dramatic advance the public holds its breath for, medical explorers have stretched life expectancy with many forms of the disease from months into precious years. Hardly a week passes without the national press announcing another cancer breakthrough. Medical researchers have chipped away, tunneled under and climbed over the wall of death that once went up with every diagnosis of cancer. The wall still stands but there are millions of survivors who have struggled across. According to the American Cancer Society’s 1980 "Facts and Figures,” over 3 million Americans are alive today who have a history of cancer, 2 million of them diagnosed five or more years ago. The medical profession is still leary of the word "cured” and so they use “remission” instead but most of those 2 million can be considered cured. Today one out of three cancer patients will be longterm survivors and the outlook for most types of cancer is steadily improving. "Medical science is making tremendous strides,” said Dr. Jerry Martin, partner with Dr. Werner Krebser at the Rappahannock Medical Center. As a general practitioner, Martin said he doesn’t keep up with all the latest developments in treatment of cancer. Instead, he refers clinic patients to experts in the Field who plan the method of attacking the disease and then leave the clinic with battle plans for following through on treatment. Constantly Changing “They’re constantly changing drugs. They have on-going trials all the time at the university centers, experimental drugs, different combinations of drugs—it’s impossible for a family practitioner to keep up with it all.” Martin explained. Medical journals carry page after page of cancer reports. The popular press, too, has discovered people want to read news about cancer on more than the obituary pages. No longer are research articles relegated to professional periodicals. In March, Time Magazine published a cover story on interferon, the newest bright light on the cancer cure horizon. A natural substance produced in minute amounts by the body, interferon is now being tested at ten medical centers across the U.S. in a project initially paid for by a $2 million grant from the American Cancer Society. The same month, the Washington Post carried a UP1 story on laboratory evidence strongly supporting the belief that breast cancer susceptibility is inherited in some families where the disease is common. The article reported the discovery by Dr. Mary-Claire King, a geneticist at the University of California School of Public Health at Berkely, of a gene that serves as a “flag" for a human chromosome on which the cancer gene is apparently located. According to the Post, the gene’s presence can be identified by looking for its product, glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT), in a simple blood test. The article notes that the GPT gene itself has nothing to do with cancer except that it provides a way to spot the presence of the second gene that increases the susceptibility to the disease in certain familities. New avenues of research are showing such promising results that Cancer News, the quarterly publication of the American Cancer Society, now includes two pages of research reports. According to Martin and information from ACS, certain types of cancer have almost surrendered to medical experts. Childhood cancers. skin cancers, hemotological and gynological cancers have all yielded to three-pronged treatment of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. “The prognosis is good for those types but some still have an absolutely horrible prognosis,” said Martin, specifically noting esophogeal, pancreatic and lung cancers. He added, however, that survival is due to the inherent characteristics of the tumor itself. "Some grow slowly and some advance very rapidly,” he explained. More Could Be Saved One of the disturbing aspects of cancer treatment is that more people could be saved if they'd only see a doctor as soon as they suspect a problem. According to “Facts and Figures,” of every six people who get cancer, two will be saved and four will die. But of the four who will die, one might have been saved with earlier diagnosis and prompt treatment. The seven warning signals shouldn’t be ignored, even for a few weeks. They are (1) change in bowel or bladder habits, (2) a sore that does not heal. (3) unusual bleeding or discharge (4) thickening or lump in the breast or elsewhere (5) indigestion or difficulty in swallowing, (6) obvious change in wart or mole and (7) nagging cough or hoarseness. The “ounce of prevention” attitude has been adopted by the Flint Hill Homemakers club in sponsoring a breast self-examination exam clinic for women at the Flint Hill fire hall on September 15 at 7:30 p.m. Self-examination techniques are critical since more than 90 per cent of breast cancers are discovered by women through selfexamination, according to “Facts and Figures.” In addition, advice on suspected problems can be obtained by calling the tollfree cancer answer service at 1 -800-552-79%, provided by the American Cancer Society. 100 Per Cent Cure Expected The medical profession is skeptical of ever finding a single cure for cancer. It's such a complicated disease, influenced by environmental occupational and hereditary factors. What is cancer? Webster’s defines it as a malignant growth of tissue. Cells begin to divide wildly, overwhelming normal cells in the competition for nutrition and attacking all parts of the body through the bloodstream. “Think of the billions upon billions of cells in the body that go through the orderly process of division. What makes a few cells go wild? It’s kind of like anarchy. What makes a cell disobey all natural laws? Finding the answer to that question is the key to finding a cure for cancer," said Dr. Martin, adding that he expected the solution to come in bits and pieces to be assembled much like a jigsaw puzzle and, like the old puzzle that's been sitting in grandma’s bookshelf for years, will always have a few holes in it, a few pieces missing. In addition to early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Dr. Martin pointed out another important factor in any battle against cancer—the will to live. "It gives the patient a fighting chance,” he emphasized. To butress this will to live, family and friends have to provide the patient with emotional support, Martin noted. But the support mustn't be overdone, he added. “They want to be treated like normal human beings. They don’t want anything special.” Martin acknowledged that he and his fellow doctors often forget this need for emotional support. Town Trades Fire Hall (Continued from Page 1) nesday afternoon. “This has been done behind the back of the people you supposedly represent,’’ she told the council. Luke interjected that the town council was within its rights to consider the transaction without supplying any public notice since Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act specifically allowed for land purchases to be considered in executive session. If the public had been aware of negotiations, “the deal probably wouldn’t have gone through,” he said. Luke maintained that the prime consideration should be whether the town was getting more than it's giving. “I think it is. The church building is worth more. It’s a better building—but not for us (to renovate into law offices),” he concluded. Miller asked again for a copy of the 99 year rental agreement between the town and the fire department. “Where is the lease?” “The same place the town ordinance is,” Manson countered. Why Objections "If the ladies auxiliary can be accommodated in the church, I don’t understand the objections to the town acquiring a more valuable piece of property,” Miller said. Manson replied that the fire department would be trading 50 years left in a 99 year lease on the fire hall for a vague assurance from the council that the ladies auxiliary could use the church for its thrift shop, an operation he described as “the very life’s blood of the fire department.” “We thought the trade would be a good idea for the town,” stated Sharon Luke. She noted that through the transaction, the town would gain ownership of and >Jhe opportunity to preserve one of the community’s historic buildings. In addition, she said, floor space in the church total 2,322 square feet while the fire hall has only 1,700 feet. She added that renovation and structural improvements to the fire hall will be done “in keeping with the historical architecture of the town.” No Formal Promise Although asked repeatedly for formal assurances that the auxiliary will be afforded the use of the church, the council balked at voting on the question. Miller, however, stated again and agaip that he personally was in favor of allowing the ladies to use the building for their thrift shop while council members Brad Fisher, Dorothy Clater, C. E. Giles, Jr. and Dorothy Hawkins indicted they too favored the idea. As to the councils ultimate goal for the church, the mayor replied there are no long range plans. “We’re trading for a piece of property worth $15,000 to $20,000 more than the property we have now. We’ll get a more satisfactory building for the town’s use." After a unanimous vote to approve the land transaction, the council took a short break while the papers authorizing the trade were signed and notarized. The council also okayed title insurance at a cost of $3.50 per thousand dollars on the $32,000 church. "We’ve done everything in strict compliance with the law. We’ve made what I think is an excellent decision,” stated mayor Miller. He added that every effort will be made to treat the ladies auxiliary fairly and invited representatives from the group to discuss arrangements for the thrift shop with the council at its September meeting. RAAj Baseball The final game of the Rappahannock Recreation Association’s baseball league for the summer was played SaturdayAt the conclusion of this game, trophies were awarded the RAA 13 to 16 age group. Jeff Williams was judged the most dedicated player; Kevin Harrison, the best attitude; Bruce Frye, the most improved player. Any of the RAA team members who have not turned in their shirts are asked to do so and anyone who has not received the team picture should contact Sean Kilpatrick at 987-8252. ‘‘Physicians lose track of the person sometimes. We see just the cancer and not the total patient.” For those facing the battle against cancer, there’s help available here in Rappahannock County. Lee Nettles, director of the local mental health clinic, has experience in cancer counseling through an innovative pilot program funded by the National Cancer Institute. He stands ready to work with patients and their families. Several of the people interviewed in the Rappahannock News’ recent articles have volunteered, as veterans of the cancer wars, to work with Nettles as informal support personnel, willing to talk with newcomers to the battlefield. The Rappahannock Unit of the American Cancer Society can also help. The organization has just donated two sets of reference books on cancer, one to the Rappahannock County High School and one to Wakefield Country Day School. “The books are excellent,” reported Juanda Rodgers, adding that she’d been notified by assistant superintendent Rob McDaniels that the elementary and high schools have already incorporated the instructional materials into their curriculum. A copy of the volume aimed at high school aged youngsters has also been placed in the Cancer Society’s reference library. In addition, Mrs. Rodgers noted, she can obtain a wider range of reference materials from the Cancer Society’s state headquarters in Richmond. The local cancer unit also provides material support. The loan closet supervised by Dollie Biddle, hospital beds, a walker, a wheelchair, siderails for beds, a tray table on wheels which fits over a bed, dressings and other medical supplies and equipment. Arrangements can be made to use any of the items by calling Mrs. Biddle at 987-8390 or 675-3449, Kareir Tornedan at 675-3646 or Juanda Rodgers at 6753636. Mrs. Rodgers also said the local Cancer Society will assist whenever possible with transportation to and from hospitals for treatment. "Sometimes we’re able to furnish other things. Each patient is unique and we try to tailor our help to meet their needs. We’ll do anything we can to get special equipment from anywhere— Richmond, Winchester. I’m not afraid to ask anybody for anything,” Mrs. Rodgers said. “We have volunteers who want to help in any manner that they can.” ASCS News By TOM G. TAYLOR There are many Rappahannock County sheep producers who should file an application for payment under the Wool Incentive Payment Program. Receipts are needed for shorn wool and unshorn lambs that are sold this year. These receipts should be brought to the Rappahannock County ASCS Office as soon as sales for the year are completed. Virginia sheep growers received $267,688 from the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service for their 1979 wool marketings. The incentive payments went to 2,021 producers. Sheep producers in the state marketed 623,000 pounds of shorn wool and 75,120 hundred-weight of unshorn lambs during 1979, earning payments of $181,300 and $86,388, respectively. The objective of the ASCS wool program is to encourage growers to increase production and improve the quality of wool. Lillard Reunion The fourth annual Lillard Reunion has been scheduled for Sunday, September 14, beginning at 1 p.m. at the Flint Hill carnival grounds. All family members are invited to bring a picnic lunch and refreshments and enjoy the day with relatives. 4 vt Letter Much, Much Appreciation To the editor: On behalf of the Athletic Department at Rappahannock County High School I would like to extend our sincere appreciation to three medical professionals for services provided without charge to R.C.H.S. athletes. Dr. Jerry Martin, Dr. R. S. LeGarde and Mrs. Frances Thornton recently gave physical examinations to those students interested in participating in the R.C.H.S. sports program for the 198081 school year. This service is rare and not enjoyed by most school systems. As is often the case those who support our school system continually volunteer to carry even more than their share.
