According to a regional farmland report prepared by the commission, 9,714 acres in the county were taken out of farming use during the nine-year period, a decrease of 11 per cent. By comparison, Culpeper lost eight Pinafore Cast Picked The east of the Rappahannock Library’s production of Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S.

B»pp«>»Mino«* NwraPtno/Ccf, olP«|| Ddrrftt THE MOVIES ARE COMING!—Freeman AUen, , Ray Foreman of United Artiste, Carolyn Delevitt and Barbara Jolly prepare for this weekend’s opening of Mountain Magic Cinema in Washington. The theater’s first feature will be “Bound For Glory,” the life story of Woody Guthrie, Fri.-Sun. at 8 p.m. per cent, urange j.j per cent, Fauquier 1.7 per cent and the district as a whole 3.9 per cent. Madison County, going from 109,794 farmland acres in 1969 to 111,768 in 1978, was the only jurisdiction to show an increase (1.8 per cent). While the number of acres decreased the value per acre of land and buildings in Rappahannock increased 305.59 per cent between 1969 and 1978, a much bigger jump than any of the other planning district counties. The average value of land and buildings per acre here was $304 in 1969 and soared to $1,233 by 1978. In comparison, Culpeper farmland increased in value by 183.88 per cent (from $366 to $1,039) Fauquier by 208.11 per cent (from $493 to $1,519), Madison by 221.61 per cent (from $273 to $878), and Orange by 236.71 per cent (from $286 to $963). The dramatic climb in land values here between 1969 and 1978 leaves Rappahannock trailing slightly behind only Fauquier County in per acre value of farmland. By contrast, however, Rappahannock lags far behind the rest of the planning district in assessed values of property subject to local taxation and net debt, according to the state auditor of public accounts report on comparative cost of county government. For the year ended June 30, 1979, Rappahannock’s assessed value per capita was $2,464.26. This compares with $3,671.97 for Culpeper, $4,453.74 for Fauquier, $18,581.47 for Madison and $26,426.18 for Orange. Judging from tax data, the disappearance of Rappahannock farmland to more intensive uses is not due to the burden of local property taxes. In 1969, the local tax rate here was $4.10 per $100 of assessed value. In 1978, it rose to $4.20—an increased of 2.4 per cent in taxes compared to the increase in farmland value of 305.59 per cent during the same period. The $4.20 rate in 1978 was the rate for local property taxes per $100 of assessed market value. That assessed rate translated into a “true effective tax rate” of 24 cents per $100 of fair market value. In comparison, according to figures from the Virginia Municipal League, the 1978 true effective tax rate for Culpeper was 52 cents per $100 of fair market value, for Fauquier 40 cents, for Madison 41 cents and for Orange 49 cents. The importance of agriculture to the county economies combined with a projected population increase in the planning district of 29 per cent between 1980 and 2000 has created concern over loss of farmland to new development, according to the planning district’s regional farmland report. "Although many measures and techniques for discouraging the conversion of farmland to nonagricultural uses have received considerable attention and emphasis from localities, an overall change in the district’s agricultural structure appears to be continuing," the report notes. In 1969, 56.6 per cent of the district's land area was in farm use. By 1978, this percentage dropped to 54.4 per cent. In Rappahannock, the percentage of total area devoted to farmland went from 51.4 per cent in 1969 to 45.8 per cent in 1978. According to the U. S. Census of Agriculture, the number of farms in’ Rappahannock fell from 276 in 1969 to 266 in 1978, a decrease of 3.6 per cent. Between 1974 and 1978, however, all five of the district’s counties experienced an increase in number of farms. (As defined by the U. S. Bureau of Census, a farm for statistical purposes is any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were sold, or normally would have been sold during the census year.) In Rappahannock, the average size of a farm declined from just under 320 acres in 1969 to approximately 280 acres in 1974. Since 1974, the average farm size here has stayed the same. Rappahannock’s harvested cropland comprised 19.9 per cent of the total acreage devoted to agricultural use, pasture 19.7 per cent, other cropland 2.6 per cent, woodland 34.1 per cent and other farmland 23.8 per cent. In the district between 1969 and 1978, total cropland increased nearly six per cent. Within this overall cropland category, harvested cropland rose over 20 per cent while pasture cropland declined 2 per cent. Woodland in the district declined by over seven per cent while “other" farmland decreased nearly 21 per cent. (Other farmland includes cropland used for soil improvement crops, crop failure, cultivated summer follow, idle cropland, woodland pasture and land in house and barn lots, ponds, roads, wasteland, etc.) Value of farm sales in Rappahannock as they did throughout the district increased significantly between 1974 and 1978. “Although this increase is largely attributable to inflation, an overall comparison shows a steady increase in the number of farms with sales over $100,000 for all district counties except Rappahannock and a decrease in the number of farms with less than $5,000 sales in all five counties,” the regional farmland report notes. Among the counties in the pkmning district. Rappahannock with 92 per cent has the highest percentage of family owned farms. In the district, nearly 88 per cent of farms are family owned with corporations holding title to only three per cent and partnerships comprising nearly 9 per cent. Planners Set Date For Land Use Vote By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The Rappahannock Planning Commissioners have set mid-December as their target date for a recommendation on adoption of a land use taxation ordinance. At the August 21 meeting, chairman H. S. Barksdale appointed Allen Stokes to head the commission’s use value study committee with assistance from new member David Thornhill. The supervisors last month requested the planning commission to investigate use value taxation. The move was first suggested by Fred Forberg from the property tax division of the State Department of Taxation. Forberg warned that property taxes based for the first time next year on 100 per cent fair market value assessment will shift the county’s tax burden from equal sharing between houses and land onto primarily land unless use value taxation is also adopted. Under use value taxation, land is assessed at its use rather than its potential market value. For instance. 200 acres planted in corn would be assessed at its Cinema Opens This Weekend Magic Mountain Cinema’s grand opening this weekend will feature double Academy Award winner “Bound For Glory,” the story of American folk hero Woody Guthrie. The film is more than the story of one man. It is a saga of America in the late 1930’s and no expense was spared in making the production accurate in every detail whether it involved vintage automobiles and steam locomotives, wardrobe or the selection of locations which authentically capture the look and spirit of the 1930's. Haskell Wexler’s outstanding photography earned the 1976 Academy Award tor Best Cinematography. Covering approximately a four-year period, “Bound For Glory” begins in 1936 in Pampa, Texas, where the Oklahoma-born Guthrie had settled with his wife and two small daughters. It depicts his exciting and often amusing adventures and romances when he hops freight trains to California to escape the poverty and dust storms of Pampa. It then shows his early struggles in Los Angeles, his initial modest success as a radio folk singer and composer and his dedicated involvement with the migrant farm worker movement. Though set in the depression years, "Bound For Glory" is filled with humor and optimism. A primary reason for the boyant mood is that everything is seen through the eyes of Woody, a man who never lost his joy of life. Showtime for Mountain Magic's grand opening will be 8 p.m. this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For a schedule of upcoming films, send a stamped, selfaddressed envelope' to MOVIES, Flint Hill.

Once the land is developed into a non-qualifying use, rollback taxes for four years plus- an interest penalty become due. Only Hold-Out John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission, reported that Rappahannock is the only county in PD 9 without use value. "We need to get a dialogue going," remarked E. P. Luke, planning commissioner and chairman of the board of supervisors. "Anytime we pass a tax ordinance it’s a public policy issue.” Luke noted that the State Land Evaluation Advisory Committee is conducting a study for the county on the value of land in the various soil categories but added that figures won’t be available for three or four months. He predicted that Rappahannock property values under land use will run roughly parallel with those in Madison County but with fewer prime agricultural acres. Luke noted that applicants for use value taxation will have to produce records to validate qualification requirements. For instance, he said, farmers and orchardists will have to show that their property has been (Continued on.Page 8) The finals were played at the court of Mr. and Mrs. ' Fanning Baumgardner in temperatures estimated as high as 120 degrees on the playing surface. The debilitating heat may have contributed toward the quality of the tennis played, which except for rare flashes of brilliance or luck, was remarkably indifferent. The tournament remains one of the highlights of the crowded sports year in Rappahannock, surpassed only by the point-to-point races in early March and by the games of the high school baseball nine in those occasional years when it fields an excellent team. The level of the play is admittedly uneven, ranging usually from the absolutely rotten to the barely mediocre, but spirits are invariably high; and after the picnic luncheon, spirits are inevitably even higher. Formally known as the. 25th Annual Mixed Doubles Invitational Handicap Whistle Cup Labor Day Tennis Tournament of Rappahannock County, the event is believed to have originated 17 or 18 years ago at the court of Mrs. Marta Tholand and the late Nils Tholand. Nevertheless the contest regularly is identified as the "25th annual” tournament because, as Mrs. Tholand explains, “it is such a very nice round number.” This year 28 teams competed in the Sunday semi-finals. The GehringerLillard team won easily at the court of Dr. and Mrs. Werner Krebser, where play was marred by frequent bickering among the players, the umpires. and the linesmen. Except for this unseemly acrimony, the contests were unexceptional. Things were much closer at the court of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Parrish, where the Exton team, mere et fils, won by a single game over a team Town Water Shortage Due to a water shortage in Washington.

Completing a happy family picture. Peter Luke and Barbara Exton finished third. Honors also were hotly contested at the court of Judge and Mrs. Rayner Snead, where Dick McNear and Yates Palmer won by one point over Tom Palmer and Mary Denison Moore. Some lamentable excitement developed at the court of Mr. and Mrs. James L. Kilpatrick. Here former Senator Eugene J. McCarthy and Mrs. Jean Bagby easily swept the field, finishing three games ahead of the team of James J. Kilpatrick and Virginia Swaim. This was not the excitement. At the very last point of a match between McCarthy-Bagby and a team composed of Keeton Barnes and Vivian Henry. Mrs. Henry took a nasty fall and had to be carried from the court. Taken to Culpeper Memorial Hospital, she was found to have suffered a torn ligament and displaced bone in her left ankle. A plucky sport, she appeared at the Monday finals on crutches. After Mrs. Henry had been hauled away, hors de combat. Marie P. Kilpatrick was summoned as designated hitter in her place. She joined Mr. Barnes and played creditably in Mrs. Henry’s place. Her so-called “Tuesday serve"—so called because she hits it on Monday and it lands on Tuesday—proved especially devastating. Mrs. Henry was not the only patient at the Kilpatrick court. Champ Carney had been expected to play, but on Saturday morning he fell out of a tree, split open his head, and bunged up his wrists. He appeared at the Kilpatrick court on Sunday, somewhat the worse for wear, and was pressed into service as umpire. A bit woozy, he performed capably until he was asked for a decision on a lob by Mrs. Bagby that fell near the base line. "How do you call it?” he was asked. “In or out?" "I call it.” said Mr. Carney, very close. With that he was relieved of his duties and sent to the hospital with Mrs. Henry, where it was found that he had fractured his wrist in the accident a day earlier. Full of grit, he too appeared at the Monday festivities with his arm in a cast. Nothing quite so interesting marked the Sunday (Continued on Page 2) Woman Bitten ByRattlesnake Don’t ever count on a snake to behave true to form. Mrs. L. J. Crews of Washington learned the hard way on Monday that rattlers don't always give a warning before they strike. She and her husband were walking down by the river flats at Peyton Farm Estates early Labor Day evening. “All of a sudden, I realized that something had hit me. I didn't suspect at first that it was a snake. I thought I’d run into a stick,” she said. Her husband turned around and saw the rattler, just beginning to coil for another strike. "He jumped back and started looking for something to kill it with but I told him to forget about the snake and get me to the house because I was already feeling the effects of the venom." In just the five short minutes it took to reach their home, Mrs. Crews was on the verge of losing consciousness completely. “I was coming and going. After those first five minutes, I was mostly gone.” The Washington rescue squad carried her to a hospital around 8:30 p.m. where she was treated and released -shortly after midnight. At home on Wednesday, "playing the invalid" with a swollen and discolored foot that still throbed whenever she tried to put weight on it, Mrs. Crews had plenty of time to reflect on the unreliability of a snake's warning rattle. Hef nemesis was no baby. “He was big, let me tell you, two or three feet long and big around. He was a huge snake...We were walking in short grass and I just didn't see him. I wasn't looking. In fact, I probably stepped on him.” she recalled. And he never rattled, not even a tiny shake. Mrs. Crews said that hospital personnel told her that, at this time of year, rattlers are shedding their skins and are blind. (Continued on Page 4) Battery Stolen From Truck Thieves hit two unlikely spots over the holiday weekend - under the hood of a Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department truck and a gas tank of the community’s rescue squad vehicle. According to Rappahannock deputy John Godlewski, firemen discovered Monday morning. September 1. that a battery had been stolen from Sperryville's water tank truck. Later that night at about 10:45. a Sperryville citizen observed a pick-up truck in front of the rescue squad building and saw someone taking the cap off the squad truck's gas tank in apparent preparation for syphoning gasoline. The citizen called for help and with assistance from friends, pursued the pick-up truck for approximately an hour before the vehicle was finally stopped by Virginia State Trooper C. A. Moore. The 1978 Ford pick-up was identified stolen in Fauquier County. according to Godlewski. He noted that police found a battery in the truck. “But the problem is that we can’t positively identify it as the battery taken from the Sperryville fire truck. One battery looks just like another unless it has serial numbers recorded,” the deputy explained. Godlewski added that the sheriff s department was still investigating the incident. To date, charges lodged against Larry Wayne Dodson of The Plains, the driver of the pick-up. include breaking and entering by the Rappahannock sheriff's department and possession of a stolen vehicle by Trooper Moore. Bond was set for Dodson at $8,000.

Republican Turn-Out High Over 140 enthusiastic political partisans attended the Seventh Congressional District Republican quarterly meeting at the Culpeper Holiday Inn last week. In a speech well received. Seventh District Representative J. Kenneth Robinson noted that both Virginia Senators as well as Republican presidential nominee Ronald Reagan all now reside in the Seventh District. He complimented the area for supplying such outstanding individuals and warmly thanked the crowd for its support. Robinson described the Seventh District as the key to Reagan’s campaign in Virginia, adding that the state was important as well on the national scene. Although Robinson noted that he faces no opponent in his bid for a sixth term, he urged a heavy turn-out in Virginia to assure that the state goes overwhelming for Reagan. He warned that Democratic president Jimmie Carter is a shrewd and clever campaigner who will run an effective campaign which will try to gloss over the failures of the current administration. According to Robinson, Republican campaigns in the Seventh District will be run on an "as-money-isavailable” basis. The representative cautioned that complicated federal election laws must be complied with in every respect, particularly as regulations relate to the separation of presidential and congressional campaign efforts. Robinson concluded Retired Teachers To Meet The Rappahannock Retired Teachers Association will hold its annual fall meeting at the Teepee Restaurant in Sperryville on Tuesday. September 9 beginning at 10:30 a.m. The meeting will include a social hour and a luncheon under the direction of Mrs. Arlene Wake. All retired teachers are invited to attend.

On the first day the more experienced riders worked on cantering in a group while the second division concentrated on improving their trot. In the afternoon, the two classes were combined to learn the commands necessary for a successful drill ride. Cavaletti work for both groups was introduced the second day with the first class going on to jumping. The final day was devoted to polishing the act for the parents, all the while improving both horse and rider. Daily lectures were given by 4-H leader Jane Naramore on basic stable management. A lecture was given by Dr. Fay Witherell on an annual schedule of horse health care. Another extra was an exhibition of breaking the young horse given by instructor Sherry Hamill.

' A Sport Where Endurance Triumphs By CINDY CUMINS Rappahannock New* Special Writer Endurance- riding, an equine sport which originated in the west, is a form of horse racing in which horse and rider pit themselves against time while attempting to cover long distances—40 to 150 miles—of often rugged terrain. The sport, which is in many respects the long distance or marathon race of the horse world, requires no specific tack or riding apparel. The challenge? Riders must attempt to complete the course in a prescribed maximum time limit—24 hours for the 100-mile race, and 11.5 hours for the 50. Patty and John Alexander of Flint Hill, who have participated in endurance riding competition for eight years now, are among a new generation of dedicated enthusiasts who are helping to establish endurance racing as one of the most increasingly popular equine sports in the east. “Unlike competitive riding,” explains Patty who’s been endurance riding since 1972, “horsemanship shows in the end product . . . the horse and rider are not judged during the progress of the race . . . it’s just you and your horse, against the clock.” For Patty, who has been a horse-lover for as long as she can remember, interest in endurance riding is not unusual. “I was the typical stai’y eyed girl who took any opportunity 1 could to be around horses . . I read all the horse stories. Just being around horses was enough, and getting a chance to ride was even more of a treat.” John, an employee of C & P Telephone, became interest in racing a little later. It was Patty who first sparked his interest. After they were married, says John with a smile, “it was either get interested or stay at home!” Now the couple work together, and their constant realty world 9fea/ Estate d(. tCAUOi ■ THE MONEY TREE In my experience, money and elbow grease spent wisely on landscaping will pay off handsomely in adding value to your property-in dollars-not just in impression. Some go as far as to say that a mature tree in the right place is worth a thousand dollars. Landscaping gives a house personality. It is exterior decoration. Landscaping and the house facade greet the visitor and give that important first impression of the owner as well as the home. It can work both ways, too. A plain house can be made attractive with the right landscaping. A beautiful house can become ugly with the wrong landscaping. In fact, a prospective buyer will have a pretty good opinion of what the inside of the house will look like by the time he has finished perusing the appearance of the exterior decoration. Aside from increasing value, good landscaping pays dividends in other ways. It adds pleasure to your family’s life. And it's not all that difficult to achieve and maintain. + + + If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Patty has plced consistantly high in competition, and set a record in this year’s third annual Old Dominion Endurance Ride by Finishing first with a record breaking time of 6:23:58. “Only a minority of riders enter this kind of competition to race, however,” says Patty. “It’s an accomplishment just to finish.” A Different Kind Of Horse Race Though competitive racing allows no one but the rider and the vet who must check the horses at mandatory vet stops to touch the competing horse, the endurance rider is aided by a pit crew stationed at various points along the course. A vital element of any endurance race, the pit crew must be prepared to help the rider with any mishaps which may occur during the race. Ready with extra tack and supplies, the pit crew’s primary responsibility often lies in making sure the horse remains cool. “Since most races are in hot weather, dehydration can be a severe problem,” says Patty. “Horses aren’t always sensible enough to drink when they should. A good pit crew can save a horse’s life by being at the right place at the right time,” she added. Aside from the pit crew, the relationship between horse and rider is the most crucial element of any endurance race. And both must be equally prepared. It’s not unusual, said John, for a rider to have to dismount and help his horse up a steep hill or mountainside. “You have to push yourself to some painful limits—our horses always come through these races better than we do!” he added. As a result, both Patty and John run regularly. In fact, both Alexanders agree that the rigors of endurance riding have had a profound effect upon their life style. “We’re more aware of our environment now," says the couple who watch their diet carefully and devote a great deal of time to the upkeep of their organic garden. “Endurance riding seems to pre-determine a natural way of life," agrees Patty. “It’s a very family oriented sport too," she adds, explaining that very often families will travel the endurance riding circuit together, camping out, and pitching in to do whatever chores must be done. If training for the rider is stringent, training and conditioning the endurance race horse is still more demanding. John and Patty agree that it is the secondary investment of time, energy and care that produces an exceptional endurance race horse. “Money can’t buy a good endurance horse,” says Patty, who believes that early and constant training is the most important factor involved in FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE REGULAR SALES Every Tues.

Young horses do well, but they can wash out at an early age. I like a horse that’s well trained from an early age—a horse that’s totally responsive.” Misunderstood “Sometimes people tend to misunderstand endurance riding,” according to Patty. They think that it’s harmful to the horse. But they don’t understand the capabilities of horses — long distance traveling is what God intended for horses—this is what they did for food and water when they ran wild on the plains. "We’re asking a lot of our horses, but that’s what they were designed to do,” says Patty who feels that the endurance horse has a great deal more freedom and tends to lead a much healthier life than other kinds of racing horses. “Our horses are rarely stabled, because of that, you won’t find endurance horses with the respiratory problems and bad habits from boredom that you tend to find with a race horse who is confined more often,” she explains. Horses must pass a rigorous pre-vet examination before entering a race. A shoeing schedule must begin as early as eight months in advance of a race, say the Alexanders. Shots have to be up to date, the horse must be parasite free—even the smallest thing requires special attention in a heavy training program—little problems can become magnified very quickly, they added. The constant attention and care that the Alexanders devote to their animals has required them to make certain sacrifices, they say. Both have had to give up a favorite sporting — canoeing—because spring is the time that their horses require the most care. “It is a sacrifice . . . there are days when you’d rather die than train, but you have to push things aside. It can become a chore at times—when you have to do anything that consistently it’s bound to be some times,” says Patty. But the sacrifice is a loving one. "Our horses are like children to us—they become like family, we spend so much time with them,” say the couple. As a result Patty has developed almost a sixth sense about their animals’ behavior patterns and needs, and says,” . . . you can look and see what’s wrong with an animal; we watch them constantly and detect problems by analyzing the brightness of their eyes or by their unusual movements.” Motivation » John says it is the competitive aspect of racing and the personal challenge— physical and mental—to do well that inspires him to participate in endurance competition. “I’m just a horse nut,” says Patty, “just there to see what all my training has done.” Though Patty feels competitve racing provides a rider with a good foundation, she finds endurance riding more exciting, and hopes to be doing more in the future. Both Alexanders look forward to competing eventually in a* circuit of races—something that time and finances make impossible at the present. For the couple who exude enthusiasm and a quality of determination and dedication that makes even the amateur horse appreciator ready to devote himself to the bridle and bit continuing success seems inevitable. In a sport where ‘‘endurance triumphs," John and Patty Alexander have what it takes. Viewtown- Castleton By MRS. GLADYS DODSON Rappahannock New.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4,1980 Boosters Wanted Rappahannock County High School could use a booster club. In these times of penny pinching inflation, the school board can’t possibly take care of all school needs, even if it were inclined to do so. And there are priorities which rank much higher than support of high school athletics and extra-curricular activities. Other counties fill these important but non-academic holes with a little tagging from volunteer booster clubs. Last week, RCHS halls echoed with spontaneous applause from the cheerleaders when they learned that they would be allowed to ride the team bus to away sports contests. Their transportation to basketball, at least, had been jeopardized by crowded conditions which left coaches and high school administrators in a quandry. They didn’t want the athletes who were going to represent RCHS through long minutes of exhausting exercise on the ' court worn out before the opening buzzer by a cramped bus ride with three to a seat. Neither did they want the cheerleaders, those hardworking purveyors of school spirit, left at home, most of them without a driver’s license or car, and so unable to provide their own transportation. Their other alternative was to alternate between the jayvee and varsity squads, taking each to every other away contest. Enthusiastic support can mean the difference between winning and loosing. The coaches and administrators know this and so opted for crowded buses over no cheerleaders. But there is another solution. Adult volunteers interested in RCHS can organize a booster club to raise money for a van for the school. It can serve a variety of extra-curricular participants: cheerleaders, cross country runners, jayvee baseball players, jayvee tracksters, Future Business Leaders of America who participate in regional and state competition, musical groups and chorus and other clubs and school organizations. And the boosters can save the school board some money by donating a vehicle that doesn’t guzzle gas like the school buses now used for group transportation. Fifteen passenger vans don’t come cheap. They average $10,000—a lot of money to raise in times of double digit inflation. But a joint effort between the kids and their adult boosters can get that much together, probably in time for the start of next year’s basketball season. The county school board has asked superintendent William Bloomer for extra effort towards organizing parent volunteers and getting them involved in the schools. A booster club is a good place to start. Rappahannock Newt photo/S.

Woman Bitten By Rattlesnake (Continued from Page 1 “They strike by instinct. They don’t rattle at all when they’re shedding.” Mrs. Crews added that she’d talked about snake habits with other folks since receiving her bite on the ankle and found that rattlers at any time don’t necessarily rattle a warning before they strike. She maintained that her experience should serve as a lesson to others in the community unfamiliar with snakes. Now’s the time, she emphasized, to keep a watch out for the critters even if homeowners have never seen one on their property previously. “We’d never seen a rattlesnake before but we 11 never forget now what one looks like. 1 know what they look like and I know what they feel like,” she concluded. Treatment According to Dr. Jerry Martin from the Rappahannock Medical Clinic, guidelines on immediate treatment for snake bites has changed over the last few years. Icing down the bite and making incisions to suck out the poison by mouth, procedures that were in vogue in the past, are no longer considered by experts to be of much benefit* Martin said. He advised keeping the victim as quiet as possible, elevating the arm or leg and applying a tournaquet if the bite occurs on an extremity, and sucking out the poison with a ball syringe. “It goes without saying that the victim should receive medical attention as soon as possible.” he added. Martin noted that most bites from poisonous snakes are not fatal even without treatment. “A lot depends on the size of the snake, how recently it emptied its poison sacs and where the bite occurs. The face and the body are much worse than the extremities.” He added that underlying health problems and the size of the person bitten have a bearing on how fast and effectively the poison acts. Small children and elderly people are greater risks, he said. According to Martin’s experience, snake bites are rare in this area. He reported that the clinic has yet to see its first case. “A lot more people die from bee stings than from snake bites,” he concluded. +H—(■+ There is a great difference between knowing a thing and understanding it. You can know a lot about something and not really understand it. —Charles Kettering Letters To* The Editor Is It True?

WORM ALD Our small tour-group of eighteen people got no further east than Varanasi. On leaving if we reversed our flight of the previous day and flew west by a little sooth for some forty minutes to land at Khajuraho. Khajuraho, in the huge but rather thinly populated state of Madhya fradesh, is not now a city—just an airstrip, a small village, a splendid but still incomplete hotel, and the site of some of the most spectacular sculpture in India. Until four years ago, nobody had heard of the place except students of Indian art and connoisseurs of erotica, and few visitors had ever been there. The nearest railhead was over sixty miles away; means of transportation between there and Khaiuraho and hotel facilities in Khajuraho itself' were alike rather sketchy. Then, a man of soaring vision and uncanny powers of persuasion saw the possibilities of the site as a tourist attraction and somehow cajoled the government into building an airport. Indian Airlines into breaking their DelhiVaranasi flights there, and investors into putting up the funds for a luxury hotel. This remarkable man, Mr. S. S. Poddar, was there to greet our group when we arrived at his Chandela Hotel, called after the Hindu dynasty that was responsible for building the Khajuraho temples between 950 and 1050 A. D. After settling into our rooms, we were entertained to a recital of traditional Indian music. A young woman sang for us to the accompaniment of the sittar. Then the four male musicians performed, solo and in combination, on their various instruments, all of which looked very strange to Western eyes. Afterwards, we were permitted to look at the instruments. 1 noted that one big sittar had no fewer than eighteen strings. But the "instrument” that fascinated me most consisted of eleven earthenware bowls of different sizes, filled to varying depths with water. Each bowl, when struck on the edge with a little stick or hammer of some kind, naturally gave out a different note from the others, thus enabling the player to produce a melody. Why eleven different notes were needed, 1 am not musician enough to understand. The music as a whole was agreeable, some of it deepl) moving. Our host then entertained us to drinks while telling the story of his local enterprise. If our party was inclined to feel that wee were hearing more about the birth-pangs ‘-or*the Chandela Hotel than we realty needed to know, we could hardly fail to appreciate the passionate devotion of the father for his brainchild. At length, grasping that we were growing a little tired and more than a little hungry, Mr. Poddar led us in to the dining-room for dinner. I should have appreciated the meal more if I had not begun at this point to feel the first symptoms of the cold I had contracted two days before in the Agra bus. One goes to Khajuraho for the temples—22 surviving out of the original 85—and they are not very far from the hotel or each other. So our morning there began with breaktast at tne humane hour of eight o'clock. When the bus set us down at the entrance to the western group of temples, the day was already quite hot, foreshadowing the crushing heat in north-central India of what in our part of the world are the spring months. I did not mind a bit, as my cold was now at its most miserable stage. In any case, even a streaming cold could not have spoiled the temples of Khajuraho. My slender prior acquaintance with Hindu religious architecture, through books and films, did not dispose me favorably towards it. My aesthetic tastes tend toward the simple, impressionistic, austere, and I expected to find the temples altogether too fussy and ornate. Firsthand experience changed my mind. I found the Khajuraho temples (the few we had time to inspect at close range), covered as they were from top to bottom with sculpture in high relief, bewitchingly beautiful. The panorama of human life depicted by the carvings included a startling variety of sexual activities—some of them involving more than two partners and so complicated, and to our eyes so bizarre, that we could not make out for certain what was what. But, so far as I could tell, not one of our group of middleaged Americans, reared presumably in the JudeoChristian tradition, found the sculptures prurient or offensive. We recognized them as part of a comprehensive and uninhibited celebration of the glorious multiplicity of human experience. We —Rappahannock Nem Photo/F. L. Worm aid FACADE OF THE PALACE of the Winds in the pink city of Jaipur. gaped, admired, giggled a little, and took lots of pictures. After lunch at the Chandela, another short flight brought us back to Agra. As we had to change planes there for our next overnight stop, Jaipur, we were given a chance of seeing the Taj Mahal in a different light from the midday glare of three days before—sunset light this time. But first we stopped off at the Holiday Inn, no less, for what was billed as tea. There were lots of goodies besides, but for me with my streaming cold it was the tea that mattered. I shall always think of it as the best cup of tea I ever tasted. The Taj Mahal was indeed worth seeing in the evening light. (I have been told that moonlight is best of all, but that was not attainable for us.) Then to the airport for our next hop. By the time we were shepherded to the plane it was quite dark. So it took a few moments tq grasp that our plane was a little old propeller-driven affair. For most of us, it had probably been twenty years or more since we had ridden in that kind of aircraft. But we reflected that they were pretty reliable, and anyway we had no choice. After 747’s and the like, the plane seemed appallingly cramped. I think every seat was filled. But we reached Jaipur in good style. Late as we were, Clarks Amer Hotel, on the southern fringe of the city, offered us the customary welcome. Most of the party, I assume, went down to another splendid feast, but the Wormalds did not. In my pathetic condition, Scotch i whisky and the gift fruit basket seemed once again more suitable. My wife stood by me as always. After a good night's sleep I felt a bit better, but now Virginia had a sore throat. (So, as we •A^ned later, had most of the rest of the party—in the heat of the Indian spring!) Beneath our window was a swimming-pool and a landscaped garden with spectacular flowers. Beyond the garden, an unofficial footpath cut off the corner between a local byroad and the main road in front of the hotel. As we looked out, seven or eight women in a rainbow of saris filed along the path, presumably on their way to the bus and work. The image has stayed in our minds as a symbol of rural India. That morning our bus carried us clear through the city of Jaipur to the old capital, Amber, eleven kilometers to the north. There, from a narrow valley leading into a seemingly endless jumble of rugged hills, we looked up at a spectacular pile of buildings crowning a near-cliff that rose three or four hundred feet above our heads. Among them, the Jai Mahal palace was the main objective of our visit, but with such a climb in the prevailing heat, I for one could not have reached it under my own power. -The problem, however, had been foreseen and solved. As we got out of our bus, we found ourselves face to face with a whole troop of gaily caparisoned elephants—not just for fun this time but for the serious business of passenger transportation. With the help of a mounting platform ten or eleven feet high, we clambered aboard, four to an elephant, and sat facing ourwards, two by two, on padded wooden benches with a back-rest behind us and a reassuring iron bar hooked across our knees. The "driver” sat ahead of us on the elephant’s neck. Once we were comfortably installed, the elephant started off up the steep road with his The Little Fox peculiar rolling gait to a musical accompaniment furnished by numbers of men and boys with flutes, pipes and whistles. With no effort^ required of us, and with3 splendid views of an evergrowing panorama opening around us, we decided that this was the ideal means of travel. The palace was a bewildering but enchanting succession of courtyards and rooms of all sizes. As the ruling family of Jaipur were Hindu Rajputs, the architectural style was basically Hindu, but it embodied certain Mogul features because, as we were told, the workmen employed in building certain parts were mostly Moslems from Delhi. The windows commanded spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. In the most important rooms, the walls were completely covered with mosaics of colored glass and mirrorglass. One small chamber, opening off a larger reception-room, was lined with so many tiny mirrors that when the door was closed and a match struck inside the room, the whole ceiling sparkled like a starry sky. We marvelled at the intricate system of channels cut in some of the stone floors to carry water from the hill above for drinking and washing. On our way back to the lower courtyard, where our elephants awaited us, we passed an elderly fakir exactly like those we have all seen in pictures. With his long grey hair, beard and mustaches, his pink and white robe, his staff and silver bowl, the marigold in his right hand, he fairly cried out to be photographed, but I feared that in fact he might resent it. Not so. When I made an enquiring gesture, he smiled and nodded and then posed to give me one of the most satisfying pictures of the whole trip. On the outskirts of Jaipur, our bus stopped at one of those government-sponsored cratfP^shfcps that are a formidable temptation to tourists ®in India. This one had an outstanding display of all kinds of antiques and contemporary artifacts, especially jewelry. Jaipur, it seems, has long been one of the world’s chief centers for the cutting and polishing of precious stones—not only stones of Indian origin but gems from all over the world. Outside the door of this emporium, a man squatted at a grindstone, actually polishing stones. Have you ever wondered how it is done—how such a small thing as a gemstone is held against the wheel? Now I know. I have on my desk a souvenir the gem-cutter gave me. a little stick with an amethyst attached to the end of it with a lump of hard wax. After lunch at our hotel, we were brought back into the city of Jaipur. Virginia and I thought it one of the most attractive cities we had ever seen. The modern sections are agreeably laid out, airy, clean and spacious, with a wealth of trees and flowers. But the heart of Jaipur, perhaps a quarter or a fifth of the whole, is the walled city founded in 1728 by the greatest of Jaipur's princes, Sawai Jai Singh II. It seems to have been the world’s earliest example of city planning in modern times, though the blueprint is said to have been derived from ancient Hindu treatises on architecture. It is called the Pink City because, nearly a century after the original foundation, another maharajah had the city walls and the facades of all the main buildings, public and private, painted their present dusty-rose color. As usual on this flying tour, we did not have time to visit all the sights listed in the travel literature, but I believe we saw the most important. In the heart of the Pink City, on one side of the main north-south street we traversed on our way to Amber and back, stands the Hawa Mahal or Palace of the Winds. It; is so jcalled. no doubt, because it is all windows and turns out to be only one room deep from back to front. But it was perfectly fitted for its apparent purpose of providing the ladies of the maharajah’s court with a shielded grandstand from which to view processions and what not in the main street. In any case, the five-story, pyramidal facade of carved stone is an architectural gem. Behind the Hawa Mahal is a still more remarkable sight—Jantar Mantar. one of the five open-air observatories built by Sawai Jai Singh II. It seems that, among his many other talents, tne manarajan was a mathematician and astronomer of the first rank. Here in the heart of Jaipur he c'overed several acres of ground with a variety of astronomical instruments built of stone. With few exceptions, their individual purposes are indecipherable to the layman, and their scale is equally daunting. The tallest of these titanic instruments is a kind of sundial ninety feet high. Close beside the observatory is the City Palace of the maharajahs of Jaipur, now a museum housing some of the treasures they accumulated over the years. The beauty of its architectural detail is matched by the fabulous collection of rugs, costumes, manuscripts, printed books, paintings, pottery, arms and armor. It is impossible to retain much detail after a visit of a bare hour or thereabouts, but one item is unforgettable. On either side of the shallow flight of steps leading up to some kind of reception room stand a pair of extraordinary vessels. They are bulbous in shape, between (Continued on Page 8)

In memory of our loving mother, Lucinda Virginia Racer, who passed away September 3,1942. I cannot say, and I will not say That she is dead! She's iust away! With a cheery smile, and wave of her hand. She has wandered into an unkown land. And left us dreaming how very fair It must be since she lingers there. And you—O you, who the wildest yearn For the old-time step and the glad return. Think of her as faring on, as dear In the love of there as the love of here. Mild and gentle as she was brave— When the sweetest love of her life she gave To simple things—where violets grew Pure as the eyes they are likened to. The touches of her hands have strayed As reverently as her lips; have prayed. Think of her still as the same, I say; She is not dead—she is just away. By her children Carroll, Clarence, Everlee, Virginia and Anna 4A+ In memory of Tyrone David Freeman who departed this life, September 5,1979. It was in the month of September that we stood by an open grave And watched them lower a loved one we would have given our life to save But we knew we could not awaken that silent soul that day So we laid our hearts beside him and sadly walked away.

If qualifying on the basis of livestock units per acre, "they'll have to tie it into their personal property records in some way. They can’t say they have ten cows (to qualify for land use) and then declare none on their personal property." Luke said. Following Barksdale's appointments of Stokes and Thornhill to a land use taxation study committee. Luke suggested that the services of the planning district be used as much as possible in investigating use value options. Newbill Miller agreed. "They did such an excellent job on the county's comprehensive plan that we’ve asked them to do the town (of Washington's) zoning ordinance." said Miller, who also serves as town mayor. He added that Rappahannock’s unique character is due to a combination of agricultural, horticultural, forestal and open space land and suggested that all four categories be eligible for use value "if that’s what the county wants." (Under state enabling legislation, localities can elect to have any or all of the four categories eligible for use value taxation.) Ordinance Review Delayed "When do you plan to get back on the zoning ordinance?" asked Pete Estes. Zoning regulations were first scheduled for review more than*, a year ago. The planners' work in that area was delayed by effort on the county’s first comprehensive plan, put offlfcr years and required to be adopted bv the state by July. 1980. In beginning work on the comprehensvie plan, the commissioners postponed the ordinance review until the plan's completion. On Wednesday. the commissioners declined to set a date for returning to the ordinance review. "How long will it take to finish land use taxation?” Miller asked. “Three months for our part.” answered Luke, getting a consenus on the December meeting as the commissioners’ goal for a final determination on land use taxation. Woodville Uranium? When the ordinance review is taken up again, Estes proposed, “we ought to think about adding something on hazardous wastes.” He noted that the recent edition of the Piedmont Environmental Council's newsletter detailed the dangers involved with disposal of uranium tailings. With "a particularly hot spot in the county . . in the Woodville area.” said Estes, it's possible that uranium mining may come to Rappahannock. "I’ve seen a man with a Geiger counter in the last 30 days working (on that Woodville hot spot),” Estes reported. "We could have a nightmare overnight,” he warned, pointing out that East coast uranium deposits are held to be twice as rich as those on the West coast. Miller interjected that the county's zoning ordinance already covers mining. “I don’t think it addresses the hazards involved,” Estes countered, adding that uranium tailings can contaminate water supplies, posing a dangerous health hazard. After thumbing through the ordinance. Miller found regulations pertaining to the disposal of radioactive wastes in Article 13 which states that applicable state and federal laws will govern handling of such materials. After a round of “what its” on accidents involving trucks carrying dangerous chemicals and the possibility of hazardous waste storage in Rappahannock's ponds and fields. Estes repeated his contention that county laws should prohibit the dumping of radioactive or chemical wastes here. The consenus among the RAY T. CANNON CO.. INC.

Ski Area Plans Col. Luke volunteered to check with zoning administrator Evan McNear on copies of development plans for the ski area property in Harris Hollow. Barksdale reported that he’d received a call from Washington attorney Sharon Genebach Luke checking on the status of a rezoning application from Jerry Mills for a garage on Route 729. According to the planning commission chairman, the attorney said her client had filed his rezoning request and paid the required fees and now wanted to know when the commission was going to act on the matter. “I told her we couldn't do anything until the application was forwarded to us (by the zoning administrator).’’ said Barksdale. Luke reported that the supervisors haven’t received any information on the garage either. “It's the same thing on the ski area. Evidently, they prepared the plats, paid their fees and nothing's happened.” he said, adding that he'd check on both matters with McNear. According to a report from Col. McNear on Tuesday, the rezoning application from Mills was forwarded to the planning commission on July 1. the same day application was madeIn addition, said the zoning administrator, no application has been made on the development of the ski area property. County engineer Fanning Baumgardner dropped off plans for subdivision of part of the property into nine parcels of more than 25 acres each. McNear said. He added, however, that he has received no application for rezoning the property from its current category of commercial, action which must take place before it can be subdivided.

As one of the leading princes of India, he had been invited to the coronation in London of the new King-Emperor, George V. But as a pious Hindu the maharajah never drank of or washed in any water but that of the holy river Ganga. So these vessles were designed to provide him with a water supply for his whole European trip. Jaipur’s final gesture of hospitality to our party was a dinner given by another fine new hotel, the Mansingh, close to the Pink City. There we were presented to the dowager Maharani of Jaipur, now serving as president of the tourist authority of the State of Rajastan. We dined on the lawn in the maharani's company and were entertained to an admirable display of traditional Rajastani dancing. To our delight, two of the younger women in our group accepted an invitation to join the dancers on the platform and Menu RCHS& RCES Sept. 8-12 Monday: Hamburger on bun, potato rounds, mixed greens, choice of milk.

Next day, back to Delhi, where we learned afresh the meaning of “The king is dead. Long live the king!” The banners at the door of the Ashoka and the elegant flower patterns in the middle of the lobby floor no longer greeted the Washington press group but the next set of distinguished visitors. To be sure, we had a dinner invitation that evening to another fine hotel, but there we were just a handful of people in the corner of a large, crowded dining room. Next day an excellent chicken lunch at a celebrated Tandoori restaurant; otherwise we were on our own. Half the Washington group finished their tour in Bombay and did not return to Delhi at all. Those that were there had minifestly run out of steam and were thinking about the next stage of their odyssey. Some of them were due to leave at an unearthly hour next morning. ++++ Beware of thirst for the wrong kind of pleasures; cut off wrong pleasures and replace them with the real pleasures of life. —A.A.M. praijcrtg ©fferings OLD frame farm house in village.
