Marauding Bear Trapped By Taste For Virginia Ham By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newa Staff Writer A larcenous bear ambled over the mountain in the F. T. Valley last week but instead of admiring the view, he developed a socially unacceptable taste for fresh pork swiped from Robert Jenkins’ pig pen. On Thursday, Mr. Bear found dessert—and his just desserts—waiting for him. When he grabbed the Hudson ham left as bait in a culvert trap set by Rappahannock game warden Jim Bankston, the door to the cage clanged shut, nabbing the marauder for transport to George Washington National Forest. According to Bankston, the old bear had been wrecking havoc in the Jenkins Hollow area for three weeks. “He killed six little pigs that belonged to Robert Jenkins. He also went on Mrs. Eleanor Cordle’s back porch, ate a bushel of peaches and tore down her screen door,” the game warden said. The culprit returned to the scene of the peach crime, leaving evidence—a paw print on the repaired screen door—for investigators to find. “He was looking for more peaches, I assume,” Bankston said. The thief got three pigs in his first midnight raid on Jenkins’ pen but dropped fewer clues than a master criminal pulling a million dollar diamond heist. At least for a while, Mr. Bear pulled the fur over the eyes of his human adversaries. “Mr. Jenkins filed a sheriffs report. There was no blood and the three biggest pigs were the ones missing. He thought they’d been stolen since the pen’s Town Grants Permits To Theater And The Inn While the rest of the country is scrambling through an economic slump, there were clear signs at Washington’s council meeting last Wednesday that the town’s business life has never been healthier. The council issued two special use permits, one for expansion of an existing business and the other for reopening a long defunct enterprise. Reinhardt Lynch, maitre d’ and co-owner of The Inn At Little Washington, won unanimous endorsement for a project to remodel the upstairs of the widely acclaimed restaurant into overnight accommodations. “We’d like to make The Inn into a real inn," he told the council. Plans call for five or six double rooms, depending on space, each with a bath. Rooms will be rented to patrons of The Inn for five nights per week, the evenings on which the restaurant is ^ open. According to Lynch, the drainfield serving The Inn has extra capacity. He added that the drainfield will be expanded if the health department, now in the process of evaluating the septic system, determines that it is not adequate for the increased load from overnight accommodations. Brad Fisher, the town’s water expert, estimated that increased water use from overnight guests would amount to 1,500 gallons per week if all rooms were rented. “Will that put any pressure on the water system?” Mayor Newbill Miller asked councilman Charlie Jenkins, supervisor for the town’s water system. Jenkins replied that it wouldn’t. “We’ve got leaks bigger than that,” Fisher added. Charlie Manson suggested that Lynch consider installing a sprinkler system in the upstairs rooms. "With no fire marshal and no building inspector to check things out, you’re on your own,’’ he advised Lynch. Fisher agreed that the upstairs bedrooms should at least have smoke detectors. Lynch volunteered to discuss with the project’s architect the subjects of fire protection and the possibility of using land to the rear of the septic field for employee parking. The council voted unanimously to approve issuance of the special use permit for rooms at The Inn contingent upon adequacy of the septic drain field. Theater Permit Granted With approval of a special use permit to Freeman Allen, the council assured that the bright lights of Hollywood will have another chance to light up the screen of the old theater on Gay Street, rechristened Mountain Magic Cinema. Allen, a Rappahannock County resident for the past eight years, maintained that the county has had a long term need for something like a theater. “It’s difficult to find real entertainment in Rappahannock," he said, adding that people had gotten into the habit of driving to Culpeper or Front Royal. He noted that he was still very suspicious about the economic feasibility of operating a movie house in Washington. “I may end up with egg on my face but there’s no way to know without trying it.” Allen told the council his plans call for a refurbished lobby with ”a pleasant little snack bar” for the theater which will initially show features on Saturday and Sunday nights. If successful, first expansion will be a children’s matinee on Saturdays and maybe Sundays and second will come cinema classics on Wednesday nights for “real movie buffs.” As features. Allen won’t show first run films. “We’ll be a second feature theater showing primarily popular movies which were first run three to five years ago that people out here probably haven’t seen yet,” Allen said. “I have no intention of running porno movies,” he emphasized. Tentative ticket prices are S2.50 for adults for a single (Continued on Page 8) down right by the road,” Bankston explained. Hearing of the robbery, Bankston suspected a fourlegges thief. While checking the trail he spotted blood at the Hazel River crossing and looking closer, found a pig buried in a pile of leaves, left by the bear for a late dinner. Bankston set a trap there but the thief was too wily and sneaked back to the pen instead, where he grabbed three more pigs. According to the game warden, the farmer sold his last two pigs before the bear Labor Day Schedule Labor Day, Monday, September 1, will be celebrated as a general holiday with all public offices and most business establishments closed. —State, county offices: Closed. — Public schools: Closed —Rappahannock National Bank, Farmers and Merchants: Closed —Rappahannock Farmers Cooperative: Closed —Rappahannock News: Open could get them. The same day the last pigs left. Jenkins killed a copperhead snake and left it hanging on the fence. Adding insult to injury. the bear returned again and took the dead snake, too. x Njr, Bear next decided he needed vegetables in his diet and so started visiting the corn field that Jerry Jenkins rents from Aylette Buckner. Bankston and former Rappahannock warden Irvin Kenyon moved the trap there—the same location where they'd left it last year w ith no luck. This time, however, the bear yielded to the tempting aromas of the Hudson ham, Bankston’s bait of choice. The game warden found him staring out woefully between the bars on Friday morning. “He was a very old bear. His teeth were all worn and broken,” Bankston said. Usually the wardens make an age determination by counting the rings in a tooth. "We didn’t take one from that old bear. He didn't have enough!” Bankston chuckled. “We just put a tag in his ear and turned him loose. He was killing livestock only because it was so easy. He had been eating the slops in the pig pen and must have killed a pig and gotten a taste, then kept on doing it (Continued on Page 8) County Population Climbs By 12% Preliminary counts released by the U. S. Census Bureau show Rappahannock's population has increased by 12.3 per cent in the last decade. Census tallies put the current population here at 5,836 compared to 5,199 in 1970. The number of housing units in the county has jumped at an even faster rate than population, from 2,024 in 1970 to 2.697 in 1980. an increase of 33.3 per cent. The number of unoccupied houses in Rappahannock stands at 554, a vacancy rate of 21.2 per cent, according to the preliminary census report. Of the county’s five magisterial districts, Hampton alone shows a population decrease, dropping from 1,231 in 1970 to 1,058 in 1980, a loss of 14.1 per cent. Washington, Rappahannock’s only incorporated town and a part of Hampton District, grew in population during the same period from 189 residents to 237. Census workers counted 71 vacant dwelling units in the district (15.5 per cent vacancy rate) and 12 in the town (11.1 per cent). With no population figures listed in the preliminary report for StonewallHawthorne District. Jackson appears to be the fastest growing area of the county with an increase of 33.5 per cent in population from 1.043 in 1970 to 1,392 in 1980. At the other end of Rappahannock, Piedmont District jumped 30.2 per cent in population from 840. to 1.094 during the same period. Wakefield’s population remained almost constant during the past ten years with an increase of only 0.8 per cent from 1,177 in 1970 to 1.187 in 1980. According to the preliminary census report, the highest rate of vacant housing among the county’s magisterial districts belongs to Stonewall-Hawthorne (152 units for 28.6 per cent) •followed by Wakefield (141 units for 25 per cent). Jackson (119 units for 19.9 per cent). Piedmont (71 units for 15.4 per cent) and Hampton. Judge Orders Dogs Held By SPCA By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nr»i Staff Writer The first cruelty to animals petition brought in Rappahannock County by an SPCA humane officer was heard in general district court on Tuesday by Judge John Alexander. In the past, enforcement of animal welfare laws has been the responsibility of the state police and the sheriff s department since the county doesn't have its own humane officer. As of July 1, however, changes in state law give officers from other jurisdictions limited authority throughout the state. Fauquier humane officer Effie M. Fox explained that in her county she has the power to make arrests and sene her own warrants. In any jurisdiction of Virginia, she may seize animals found neglected and petition the court for permanent removal of the animals from their owners’ custody. Responding to a call on Saturday. August 16, from a member of the Fauquier Life Saving BSE Demonstrated Techniques for breast selfexamination will be the subject of a special program sponsored by the Flint Hill Extension Homemakers on September 15. A nurse from Winchester —Rappahannock New* Pboto/S. La Am AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS of livestock killed and other property damage a 350-pound bear was trapped just off the F. T. Valley last week. The animal, a male, was tranquilized and tagged before it was transported to George Washington National Forest and released Friday. Its teeth were also examined to determine its age. Evidence indicated that he was very old. Game Commission Trapper Gerald Blank, right, and Division Supervisor Oliver Burkeholder were summoned by Rappahannock Game Warden Jim Bankston. SPCA board. Fox told the court that she drove to the Viewtown area on Sunday afternoon to check on dogs reported to be in bad condition after her telephone calls to the residence of Donald and Deborah Gray went unanswered. After finding an extremely thin mother dog chained to a dog house in the open yard with no shade, an empty food dish nearby and no sign of a water container. Fox said she radioed for a deputy to meet her at the Grays’ home. In addition to the female mixed German shepherd. Fox reported six "bloated, potbellied puppies”, one lying as if dead under a bush. "When I moved it, I could see it was breathing but it didn’t respond at all unless I touched it,” Fox said. Since she didn’t know where the owners were or when they would return home. Fox continued, she took the dogs “and tried to get help for them.” She added that she left a note for the owners, informing them Hospital will conduct the hour long program with help from Betsy, a demonstration doll from the American Cancer Society. Betsy is a neck to waist mannequin with breast nodules to teach women what they’re looking for in self-examinations. In addition to the demonstration with informal question and answer period, there will be a film on BSE techniques from the Cancer Society as well as free literature. The Flint Hill Homemakers urge ALL Rappahannock women to attend this special program. It can be life saving. According to the Cancer Society’s 1980 "Facts and Figures.” 90 percent of breast cancers are first discovered in selfexaminations. Charges Continued Trespass charges against James Dugger and Marty Virginia Dugger, both of Washington, were continued in general district court on Tuesday on the recommendation of commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner. In presenting the recommendation for a six months continuance to Judge John Alexander, Baumgardner stated that the Duggers would be ^vigorously prosecuted” if they again went on property belonging to Col. Evan that she’d removed the animals and requesting that they call her immediately. Fox reported that one puppy died before veterinarian Christopher Bailey reached his office to meet her at 5:45. Later that evening at 11 p.m.. Fox said she’d received a call from Gray who accused her of selling his dogs and said she had no right to be in .Rappahannock County. He telephoned a second time, she stated, and said “if I wanted to feed the puppies. I could cut the nipples off the mother and feed them to the puppies.” Deputy E. W. Thompson reported that when he saw the dogs, the mother was "extremely thin” and appeared to have little or no milk for her offspring. In addition to the one puppy that Fox found under the bush, Thompson said a second was “barely moving” while the remaining four appeared normal. He also noted that there was no food or water in the yard. According to Thompson. Gray called him too that night at approximately 10:45 and was "very unpleasant”. Died Of Malnutrition Dr. Jerry Wilson, regional veterinary superintendent for the Virginia Department of Agriculture. said he’d examined the dead puppy and found the carcass thin, the blood pale and watery and heart, kidneys and mucous membranes pale. He also found numerous round worms and an excessive number of hook worm and round worm eggs. He attributed the puppy’s cause of death to anemia and malnutrition “precipitated by a heavy parasite load and secondary bacterial infection”. In response to questions from Deborah Gray. Dr. Wilson described hook worms as blood suckers that puppies can be infected with before birth. He added that pale gums in a puppy are an easily detectable indication that the dog has hook worms. (Continued on Page 8) McNear. the landowner involved in Tuesday’s case. “It’s worse than just trespassing on Col. McNear,” interjected Sheriff W. A. Buntin. He reported that the Duggers and four other individuals have been sleeping in a car parked on various private properties for over a week now. In response, Baumgardner noted that the commonwealth will not prosecute the trespass charge only if the Duggers are on good behavior during the si* months continuance. *

Growers here have had a good season, according to Rap Owings, Agricultural Extension Agent for the county. "We haven’t seen record-breaking yields or any devastating damage to the peach crop.” Owings said. “It's just been a normal, productive year.” Owings said that despite a June with very little rainfall, a wet spring and good overall rainfall contributed to the success of this year's crop. "Peaches also need a bunch of •■eal hot days.” Owings saiu. The heat, when combined with humidity levels that aren’t too high, means large peaches and less of the diseases that plague growers when days are wet and nights are cool. The weather does play a big part in deciding the fate of the peach grower, especially at high elevations and in a relatively northern climate like that of Rappahannock County. A late frost or killing winter temperatures can wipe out an orchard in spite of modern science and careful management. Owings said that the best possible place to put a peach orchard is "somewhere where your peaches will live when all the other orchards freeze.” It such a site is not immediately ovbious. Owings recommends a spot with good air circulation and drainage. "You’ll notice how the orchards here seem to be clustered.” Owings said. "Most of them are south of Huntly and west of Ben Venue.” Owings said that although the life of a peach tree is about twenty years, conditions here seem to promote longer life. “1 think there are some peach trees on Red Oak Mountain that have been there for fifty years.” he said. Alice Wood, who owns Sunnyside orchards in Harris Hollow, said that she has trees that have been bearing heavily for well over twenty years. “Of course we prune them to encourage growth,” she said. Owings said that the peach production in Rappahannock County is nowhere near the size of the apple crop. “But still, peaches provide a substantial income for the eight to twelve growers here. And for those who also grow apples, peaches provide diversification and more efficient use of labor and equipment." Several years ago a study estimated the peach yield of Rappahannock County at 20.000 bushels, but there are no recent studies per bushel to compare. Alice Wood said she thought that the peach yield must be a great deal higher now. “Last year I sold 10.000 bushels just from my orchard." she said. ‘“That was an unusually high yield but it gives you some idea of what you could expect county-wide.” About twenty years ago. Rappahannock ranked tenth in peach production for Virginia. Although peach yield in bushels is hard to determine for the county, there are statistics for the number of acres planted here in peaches, and the pounds of peaches raised here as late as 1978. The period covered by the Comprehensive Plan for the county published in May (1964-1974) shows a picture of steady decline in the number of farms with peach orchards, the number of acres in the orchards, but not in the number of pounds of peaches from an average Rappahannock peach orchard acre. In 1964 there were 23 farms with peach orchards: by 1974 that figure slipped by almost 70 percent to nine farms raising peaches. Acreage showed a similar decline in the period between 1969 and 1974 with 273 acres a in peaches dwindling to 126 acres in peaches in that year, a change of only one acre in nine years. Peaches measured in pounds in 1974 weighed in at 1.15 million, and pounds per acres were 9,127. Because there are no really up-to-date satistics, it is impossible to accurately estimate how peaches affect the local economy. It is generally agreed, though, that Rappahannock peaches are of good quality. Several services are offered to the county peach grower and are coordinated through the Washington extension office. In April and May - crucial months for the growers - they are invited to weekly fruit meetings in local orchards, and specialists in all phases of peach cultivation are available for help. Peach growers that we talked to were convinced of the importance of following a strict program of insect and disease control in their orchards. “I go strictly by the book." said Alice Wood. “1 think it's especially important to double-check safety precautions when using sprays and to make sure there is no residue when the peaches are ready to pick." Owings said that the spray program for peaches differed from that of apples because of the physical differences between the two types of trees. Ted Walsworth of Washington, new to the county and to the peach business, said that he had a good season this year using sprays of very low toxicity. “I was trying for the least poisonous spray that would control peach damage,” Walsworth said. “I’m very happy with the results." Orchardists with middle and late-season fruit were lucky this year because later peaches were not hurt by the extremely dry weather in June. Most growers here do grow at least some of the later-maturing types. Mrs. Herbert Foster said that the early drought had affected the size of the first peaches but not the later ones. The Fosters, who run the orchards and packing house just north of Flint Hill, have several varieties: Sun High, Shipper’s Red, and Red Haven. They also have orchards in different locations so that if one stand of peaches is badly hurt by weather conditions, another peach orchard may do fine. Alice Wood grows some early peach varieties: Dixie Reg. $24.95 Sals $19.95 L i • Stainless steel ball bearings ; • Converts for left or I right hand retrieve • Line capacity 250 yards of ) 8 lb mono / Salt Elis Labar Day BILL’S SPORTING GOODS 210 E. Main Straat Downtown Front Royal Red and Mayflower. “These were a little small from lack of rain.” she said. But her later varieties - Sun High and Elberta - were good-sized. The Walsworths grow Red Haven. Hale Haven and Belle of Georgia - no early types - so the dry weather was not a problem for them. Owings said that the markets available to the Rappahannock grower are changing over the years. “And the picture will change even more in the coming years." Owings said. He said that he recently counted fifteen permanent roadside stands between Washington and the park boundary and twelve seasonal vendors. ‘‘Most growers here have built up a clinetele over the years." Owings said. “There’s a new interest in farmers’ markets in the cities - Washington, D. C. has a new one and so does Alexandria - so I expect to see more people bringing their fruit some distance for better prices before too long. Large growers sell to truckers or local vendors who buy ir volume but most also sell small amounts to local people who just want a bushel or two. Mrs. Foster said that when their orchards have an average or slow year, they limit the number of bushels to each buyer so that all their usual customers will be able to get some peaches. Those growers with packing houses are able to cool their fruit so the quick perishability of the peach is not such a problem. But for the small grower, there must be no delay in getting the peach from the tree to the plate. Walsworth, who has about 300 trees, tried a combination of pick-ydurown sales and wholesale marketing. “My orchard will be well set up for a pickyour-own business after I spend some time cleaning it up," he said. “It was in pretty rough shape this year. PICKING’S FUN—EATING’S BETTER. Sarah and Peter Walsworth enjoy fruit from the Walsworth’s peach orchard. Sarah, 6 and Peter, 2, are the children of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Walsworth of Washington. The Walsworths, as well as other local fruit growers, reported a successful peach season. but still we had a lot of customers who wanted to pick.” Walsworth said that even with a pick-your-own business it is necessary to have another outlet. "You don't really want your customers getting up on ladders.” he said. “They pick strictly from the bottom branches, so you need to have some way to pick and sell the peaches from the rest of the tree.” Other growers mentioned that a pick-your-own operation sometimes resulted in damaged trees or wasted fruit, but felt that these problems could be solved by good management and proper supervision. Growers we talked to seemed well-satisified with the season here. But for the majority of them, this is only the beginning. According to Figures supplies by John Capelle. Director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, in 1978 there were only four peach growers here who did not also grow apples.

There is no need to be unpleasantly surprised. How do you avoid this frustration? Have a ready checklist of items to ask your REALTOR especially on items that the eye cannot see. For example: Type of and age of heating system. Types of siding, insulation and roof. Kind of interior walls. Type of waste disposal (city sewer, cesspool or septic.) Type of water supply (well or municipal. Does it contain flouride?). Average or yearly operating costs for utilities; taxes on house for last year and assessed valuation.

Once the guest house of Wakefield Manor, the Lodge has been painted and repaired in preparation for the arrival of the 12 boys who will be attending Wakefield's Preparatory School. The Lodge is described by its owner. Col. Robert Dickey, as an historic building which incorporates part of the original log house of the Manor, built around 1700. William Lynn, Wakefield’s Headmaster, reports that the school's Trustees, intending that Wakefield remain primarily a day school serving the local community, have set a limit of 50 boarders, who will represent - about one-eighth of the school's total enrollment. The boarding students, Lynn says, are specially selected and limited to those who have the greatest capacity for enriching the academic and extracurricular life of the school. To accommodate the expected numbers, the school will eventually construct its own facility to house the students, but in the meantime. Lynn says, he is delighted that Col. Dickey has made the Lodge and its pleasant environment available for Wakefield’s first boarders. According to Peter Quinn, the Wakefield English teacher who will be the house-master in charge of the boys, life at the Lodge will be rather relaxed, except for the coat and tie requirement for dinner and the three hours of supervised study each evening. There will be leisure time, he says, and he has plans to organize a soccer team just for the Lodge. There will be a housekeeper who will prepare the meals. They will have to be good, Quinn says, because one of the Wakefield teachers who will be dining at the Lodge is a Frenchman. THE MONSTER OF IGNORANCE was banished by young readers duri^X^S^S^ Library s summer reader program. After the kids defeated the monster with their books, they allowed her to come back to life long enough to pose for a picture on the library steps. Monster Delights Young Readers Twenty youngsters who finished the Rappahannock County Library’s summer reading program were entertained Tuesday, August 19, at a monster party, complete with monster. peanut treasure hunt and ice cream. Kindergarteners and preschoolers had 21 books read to them while older boys and girls were required to read one fiction book and selections from each of the Dewey system’s main categories: philosophy, religion, social science, technology, sports and arts, poetry and drama, history and biography. Of the 45 youngsters who started on the adventures through books in June, 20 made it to the book monster’s castle last week: .Chris and James Stone, Katheryn and Joann McDaniel. Gina and Lisa Manwaring, Marion and Emily Righter, Camilla Jones, Anna and Sam Hoare. Allison Martin, Heather and Douglas Kilpatrick, Gregory Thomas Williams, Stephanie and Jennifer Torneden, Holly and Melanie Moffett and Cheryl Gheen. Before devouring their ice cream, the kids followed clues that led them around the library grounds and back upstairs to the second story balcony where the monster (Mary Jamieson in a scarey mask, wig and four coat) lurked. The young readers took after her, some a little over enthusiastically, and chased her down the stairs where they slew the monster of ignorance. Loans Curtailed Edwin L. Pomeroy, from the Front Royal office of the Division of War Veterans' Claims, has received information from the Veterans Administration that, effective immediately, no further direct loan applications will be accepted due to the fact that the new budget for the VA. effective October 1, 1980. contains no funds for this program.

To the editor: I can see why a bill for $4,940.65 would wake the supervisors up at their July 7th meeting for the work on the access road to the Amissville dump. If they go down to inspect it, they won’t go to sleep on it, but will have time to take a nap. while waiting for the wrecker to pull them out later this fall and winter. I would suggest all Rappahannock Supervisors and all taxpayers of Rappahannock County make a trip to it just to see where our tax dollars go. If this total bill is paid we are being "taken" to a tune of about $2500. I am a firm believer in paying for what you receive, if you don’t receive don’t pay. Somewhere we need a change, evidently.

WORMALD Sp™»l To Rappahannock New* For the second part of our adventure, members of the National and Washington Press Clubs had a choice (to be made before leaving home) of three five-to-six-day tours of northern India. Because of the vast size of the country—equal to a third of the U.S.A. including Alaska—none of these tours took our people to the south. The most southerly points reached, in fact, were Puri on the east coast, south of Calcutta, and Bombay on the west—both only a little more than half way down the country, so to speak, from extreme north to extreme south. The tour chosen by the Worm aids and fifteen others took us over part of the great plain between the rivers Indus and Ganges, which is the cradle of Indian civilization. (The western end of the Indo-Gangetic Plain is now in Pakistan.) In our tour conductor we were indeed fortunate, unless Indian tourist agencies are exceptionally well endowed with talented manpower. Knowledgeable, patient, resourceful, good-humored and humorous, Mr. B. K. Madnani must be the Platonic idea of a tour conductor. Rising at 6:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 21st, we caught the Indian Airlines plane that flies daily from Delhi southeastward to Agra, Khajuraho, Varanasi and on, as we later learned, to Katmandu in Nepal. On the. outward journey, we stayed with that flight as far as Varanasi, better known to westerners as the holy city of Banaras or Benares. When we landed, we were indeed in rural India, in the great state of Uttar Pradesh which, at the last census, had nearly one sixth of the whole population of the country. On the road we had further tantalizing glimpses of village life. Many of the .walk were covered with cakes‘of pressed cowdung, sometimes scored in simple patterns, drying in the sun to provitJ^ fli£" villagers with what, over much of India, is their only r household fuel. A couple of times, we saw on the roadside a shrouded bier waiting to be carried to the cremation ground. Every so often we passed a long line of trucks of all sizes queued up at a filling-station—waiting. we were told, for diesel fuel, the scarcest type of motor spirit and the most vital for every kind of local transportation. (India has almost unlimited reserves of coal but. so far as is now known, very little petroleum.) At the Varanasi Hotel, we were greeted, as we had come to expect, with warm hospitality, attractive rooms and excellent food. After lunch, into our bus again (now only one. of course) for a sightseeing tour of the city. We were taken first to the Durga Temple, built in the eighteenth century by a distant benefactor to replace one of the many Hindu temples destroyed in a fit of fanatical zeal by the last effective Mogul emperor (the same who frustrated his father’s hope of building himself a mausoleum to match the Taj Mahal). Hindu religious architecture of relatively recent vintage seemed to my western eye to lack both the aesthetic charm and the spiritual appeal of Islamic mosque or Christian church (always excepting, of course, churches of similar age). Apart from its rundown environment, that particular temple is memorable mainly for the horde of mischievous monkeys that tormented visitors. From thence we went on to Banaras Hindu University, with its imposing campus and splendid art museum. Then our bus put us down in the heart of the city to make our way on foot to the Vishwanath Temple and the Gyanvapi mosque with its bulbous golden dome, facing each other across a narrow passage. In that quarter, as we threaded our way, with swarms of other pedestrians, through winding alleys lined with little openfronted shops of every description, we felt ourselves to be really in the heart of an Indian city. Once ag^in.T on the, upward trip, I was hard put to keep up with our otherwise admirable local guide and was half afraid of getting lost in the crowd. On the way down, my problem was different. I longed to stop and gape at the bewildering variety of goods offered in the shops—grains and vegetables of all kinds, textiles, pots and pans, toys and dolls, scents and essences, paints and powders. Our party stopped to explore one shop that was little wider outside than its neighbors but surprisingly deep within. Its opulence was even more surprising. I have a dim recollection of silver in abundance, but what stays with me is carved ivory of great beauty and variety. The pieces I coveted were of course well beyond my purse. By way of contrast, in the main street where our bus was parked we had our first serious contact with poverty and begging. Children of all ages, bent old men and women, mothers (1 presume) with sickly-looking babies, hideously deformed cripples swarmed around us, crying, whispering, shouting and holding out their hands if they could. But, like the vendors, they were never rough or rude. With a great effort we tried to follow our marching orders and harden our hearts, but the children especially were irresistible. They were also indefatigable. We retreated into the bus, but they reached up to the windows with knickknacks they were trying to sell or with open hands. When we closed the windows they rapped on them. Virginia had a great idea. She kept the window shut until the bus started forward, then opened the window and passed out a few minute bills. But she had not reckoned with Varanasi traffic. In a minute or two the bus came to a halt and there were the same kids, grinning and holding out their hands. One boy of only four or five, it seemed to me, ran alongside the bus for several hundred yards after it had emerged from the trafficjam and was beginning to gather speed. At last we made our getaway and were whisked back into the other world. ( Our last stop "was a silk factory and retail outlet. Varanasi is. I believe, the foremost center in India, and one of the greatest in the world, for silk spinning and weaving. We were shown a dazzling array of bolts of silk and finished articles—scarves, shawls, dresses and forty-foot saris— in rainbow colors shot through with gold and silver threads. The buying fever took hold of us again, and we two were able to accumulate a few more gifts for Europe . d America. At. a couple of hours’ rest in our room, we strolled over to another elegant hotel, just a few hundred yards away. Clark’s Hotel welcomed us, in now familiar style, to drinks and dinner on the flower-bordered lawn. Our hosts were gracious and their hospitality matching. I he only flaw in an otherwise perfect evening was the minute but lively mosquitoes or gnats that laid wait for us in the grass. I am not particularly susceptible to such pests but my wife is. Naturally, we had left our insect-repellants behind in our room with the rest of our extensive but unused medicine chest. So again, with great reluctance, we excused ourselves and retired. Next morning, our earliest start so far. We had to be off at six to greet the rising sun as we embarked on a motorbarge that was to take us down the full length of the famous bathing ghats —something like three miles at a guess. As we chugged past the endless line of temples, palaces and, of course, flights of steps leading down to the water’s edge, pilgrims were already bathing in the sacred Ganga. A couple of times, we thought we saw pyres burning where the dead had been brought for cremation on the most holy of all possible sites. Our guide, himself a practicing Hindu, told us that people carry the water away for drinking. Nobody, he assured us, had ever been known to get sick from it: on the contrary, the water had medicinal . _ —Rappahannock N««n Photo/F. L. WatmaM THE TAJ MAHAL in Agra, India, a marble mausoleum built between 1631-45 by the Mogul Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife. The work of 20,000 laborers, the structure is intricately carved and inlaid outside as well as in. properties. I wondered about ashes and diesel exhaust but was shamed by his faith when he said that, if I were to draw up a bucket of water from the river, he would be happy to drink it. Between us and the low eastern bank of the river, small sailing barges were silhouetted from time to time against the pale green water and the peach-colored morning sky. Never in my life have I felt myself surrounded by Tnore serene beauty. Nor have I ever taken so many photographs in so short a time. 1 was not alone. Finally, we left the ghats behind and crossed the river to land on the far bank at the «od of a bridge of boats. A wklk of a few hundred yards through what looked like the libin street 4f a small town brought us to a tall archway with a couple of relaxedlooking sentries on guard. This was the entrance, we learned, to the palace of the former Maharajah of Banaras. In the new -India there are no princes and, of course, no private armies. The soldiers were seconded from the Indian Army to act as a guard of fyonor. We passed through the arch into a sizeable courtyard with grass and a dry fountain in the middle. We were directed to the building on our right, which turned out to be the maharajah's guesthouse. At the foot of the steps stood an elephant, waiting to provide brief rides for anybody who was interested. When those who wished had ridden round the courtyard, we were ushered into a second-floor diningroom for a lavish, English-style breakfast. As it was now something after nine o’clock, we were ready for it. After breakfast we crossed the courtyard to the door of the palace itself. A majordomo led us through an impressive armory, with a collection spanning several cultures and centuries, through a number of galleries with family portraits, and finally into a long reception room where the Maharajah stood awaiting us. We saw before us a man of middle height, with strong features, a level eye and a gentle smile. We had been told that he is by avocation a scholar and by current occupation ViceChancellor (i.e. president) of Banaras Hindu University (the one we had visited the day before). After half a lifetime on the fringes of higher education. I would not dare claim that 1 can spot a vice-chanceTlor on sight, but I think I could have recognized this one. We had been warned that glad-handing would be out of place. The Maharajah would greet us with the traditional gesture of welcome: hands together before he chest, a slight bow of the head and the one word “Namaste!” We should respond in kind. We did so and introduced ourselves one by one or two by two. Our host then led us out on to a terrace overlooking the river and chatted with us a while about local problems such as air and water pollution. Asked if he minded picture-taking, he said not at all and cheerfulling posed alone for every camera in the group and then again with most of us in ones and twos. Finally, we took our leave and retired to our bus. We were driven up the left bank of the Ganga, opposite Varanasi, across the high rail and road bridge close to the ghat where we had earlier embarked, and a few miles into the country to Sarnath. The village is as sacred to Buddhists as Banaras to Hindus. It is one of the three or four places traditionally regarded as sites of the most important events in the life of the Compassionate Buddha. Sarnath is where he is believed to have preached his first sermon to his earliest disciples. The grounds surrounding the site of the former monastery are beautifully laid out and meticulously kept, but the excavated ruins are for archeologists, not tourists. The only building more than three or four feet high is a massive stupa or round tower. But the museum of Buddhist art is magnificent. The most conspicuous exhibit is a virtually undamaged example of a column-capital ascribed to the Emperor Ashoka who, in the third century B.C., effectively unified India for the first time. The top of the capital is formed by four lions seated on their haunches, back to back and facing outwards. Since independence, the Ashoka column has become a national symbol. It appears on Indian\ooins and stamps, and you csm see a replica in the form of ^ medallion over the doo/ of the Indian Embass^ offices on Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C. From Sarnath, the bus carried us back for another excellent lunch at the Varanasi Hotel and on to the airport for our plane to Khajuraho. Traffic on the road was formidable. As we crossed the Varuna, one of the two rivers from which the city got its new name, we had time to note that it was filled from bank to bank with water hyacinth, a familiar pest in the southern United States.

Time of showing will probably be 7 and 9 p.m. with an occasional late Saturday night movie in a double feature letting out at 1 a.m., he said. Cooperation With Residents Allen promised to work closely with town residents to resolve any complaints on parking as well as excessive noise. "I will try to be in tune with the temper of the town," he said, adding that any concerts presented at the theater would be more in the realm of folk or bluegrass music than rock ’n’ roll. He recalled strolling around the theater during the July 4th concerts. “I couldn’t hear the bluegrass outside and they were cooking. They were really going to it in there." if parking or noise problems persist. Allen said he would meet people on the street and do some "personal politicking." He added that the theater will have a suggestion box posted prominently in the lobby for suggestions from all patrons on improvements as well as movies they would like to see. "We want to be responsive to the community." Allen emphasized. The council's vote was unanimous to grant a special use permit for one year contingent upon adequacy of the theater’s septic system. Allen said later that he'd not received the response he'd hoped for from the survey printed in the July 31 edition of the Rappahannock News. Approximately 50 people returned the form, indicating how many showings per month they expected to attend, whether they were interested in subscription membership to a midweek classic-foreign film club, preferences as to type of film (adventure, westerns, musicals, foreign, comedy, thrillers. classics or children's) and choices on other entertainment that could be offered at the theater. Allen urged anyone who hasn't yet filled out a survey to indicate preferences, using a plain sheet of paper if no survey form is available, and either mail responses to Magic Mountain Cinema, P. O. Box 281, Flint Hill or drop answers off at the Rappahannock News office in Washington. The theater is scheduled to open the first weekend in September. Cinema Opens For its grand opening on September 5. 6 and 7, Magic Mountain Cinema in Washington will present "Bound For Glory," a sweeping 133 minute version of the life story of Woody Guthrie, the famed thirties folksinger. In addition to feature films, selected short subjects, cartoons and previews—a full bill of movie-going fare—the theater on Gay Street will be the site for other entertainment events.

Cannon (703) 937-4700 Paul Nichols (703) 675-3500 Dogs Held By SPCA (Continued from Paee 1) Dr. Christopher Bailey. Warrenton veterinarian who checked the animals for Fox, described the mother as emaciated with very little milk and the puppies as anemic. “The mother weighed 22 pounds. With her frame, she should have weighed approximately twice that." he said, adding that the dog suffered from extreme infestation of hook worms and moderate infestation of whip worms while the pups had hook and round worms in excess. He stated that all six animals were “in a state of malnutrition caused by parasites and-or lack of food." adding that fecal material from the animals contained mostly dirt "and not a great amount of food.” Bailey told the judge that generally. puppies are w ormed at eight weeks of age with some breeders starting worm treatment at four weeks "to protect the health of the dog.” Returning to the stand. Fox said she took the five puppies and the mother to the SPCA shelter after they'd been wormed and treated by the vet. One puppy died during the night, she said, adding that the remaining four pups and the mother were responding to treatment and doing well. Gray testified that he both fed and watered his dogs and had neighbors who would testify to the good treatment he gave his animals. He denied telling Fox to cut the nipples off the mother dog and said he'd delayed worming the puppies because he felt they had to be older before treatment. The mother dog. he added, had been both wormed and innoculated. “Sunday morning, the dogs were normal. There were no sick dogs at my house.” Gray maintained. He said the mixed female had never been a big dog. “When she had puppies it pulled her down that much more," he stated. Deborah Gray repeated that the dogs were fed and watered every day. "I myself love little puppies. My little boy was outside playing with them that Sunday morning." Mrs. Gray said the mother had received her shots at a year old and had been recently treated with medicine for hook and round worms purchased at a pet store. Barbara Settle, the Grays’ next door neighbor, said that to the best of her knowledge, the couple took good care of their dogs. She added that the mixed female had always been a “real small dog”.

Normal food for the animals—berries and wild cherries—is scarce because of the spring drought and so the bears are coming down from Shenandoah National Park to eat early apples and raid garbage cans.

"Be aware they’re scavengers,” Bankston warned. “Keep your garbage can inside and don’t leave dog food bags sitting out on the back porch.” He advised folks to leave bears alone, if they’re spotted. "There’s no need to shoot. They won’t harm anyone unless they’re trapped or cornered. Anyone who has a problem with a wandering bear can call me,” Bankston concluded.
