Rappahannock News, September 11, 1980

RICHMOND. 19, 7A. 23219 , * SAXPL8 Changes In Personal Property Tax Proposed Responding to a letter from commissioner of revenue Merle Scoggin, the Rappahannock supervisors indicated Thursday they would look favorably on legislation to remove local property taxes from household goods, farm machinery and livestock once the new 100 per cent fair market value assessment is completed. Supervisor chairman E. P. Luke described the levy on household goods, farm machinery and animals as “inequitable and unenforceable" and agreed with Scoggin that only licensed machinery should be taxed locally as personal property. He noted that, with this approach, according to the commissioner of revenue's Figures, small farming operations would face a slight tax increase while larger agricultural enterprises would benefit from lower taxes. The commissioner of revenue’s letter indicated that assessing automobiles, trucks and other licensed vehicles at 100 per cent of finance value would compensate for revenue loss. "People are not turning in honest tax forms," Luke maintained. “We just cleared up one case where they hadn’t paid since 1953,” he % said, adding that individuals involved had claimed they didn’t know they were responsible for local taxes. “There’s no way to count the pieces of machinery and College Orientation A special College Orientation Program for parents of juniors and seniors will be held at the Rappahannock County Higfi School Library at 7 p.m. Wednesday. September 17. The guidance counselors will discuss the up-coming College Night program, college boards, financial aid. and college application procedures. Parents are encouraged to attend and will be given an opportunity to ask questions. the cows in the back lots all over the county,” the supervisor chairman said. He said the board faces a difficult decision in raising taxes, particularly when all citizens aren't paying their fair share. “There’ve been examples pointed out to me of land that’s not even on the tax rolls,” he added. H. B. Wood said he agreed with the commissioner of revenue's proposal and suggested scheduling a public hearing to consider abolishing personal property taxes on farm machinery, livestock and household goods. As with any tax proposal, “someone’s going to lose and someone’s going to gain,” Luke noted. “It needs study,” interjected Dick Latham. “I don't want to see too much of the tax burden shifted to young couples just starting out." Hubert Gilkey asked where the county would pick up the money to offset revenue from taxes on farm machinery, livestock and household goods. Luke replied that the tax rate may have to be adjusted upward. Using the commissioner of revenue’s figures, Gilkey noted that savings for individual farmers could be significant, with personal property tax bills for a large operation dropping from $35,000 to $17,000 without the levy on livestock and farm equipment. issues raised by Scoggin. Luke supported charging a penalty of ten per cent or $10 on delinquent personal property taxes as suggested by the commissioner of revenue. He noted that delinquent taxes last year totaled $29,000—the equivalent of 15 to 20 cents on the tax rate. "Another thing we need to look at are building permits. They're sort of loosely handled in this county, in my opinion.” the supervisor chairman continued. Since local real property taxes for new construction are based primarily on in formation supplied on building permit applications, Luke agreed with Scoggin's suggestion that at least a sketch of building plans be included. Supplying incorrect data on a building permit is “cheating the government and cheating the people,” he maintained. “We need to require a fair representation of what a person plans to build." Scoggin said in her letter that with a sketch plus a square foot formula she could reach a fair assessment figure. By consensus, the board agreed to postpone any action on restricting personal property taxes to licensed machinery and raising the delinquent tax penalty until after reassessment at 100 per cent fair market value is finished. Equalization Board David Jordan, representative from the state department of taxation, reported to the supervisors that the county can choose to seat a board of equalization with specific legal authority to equalize assessments when the 100 per cent fair market appraisal is completed. The board must be composed of three to five local citizen freeholders appointed by the court (Continued on Page 7) THE ELECTRIC POWER LINE it being rebuilt from Luray to Sperryville through Shenandoah National Park and a helicopter is being used to set new poles. Spark Loitering Law Harassment by rowdy idlers in Sperryville has led the Rappahannock supervisors to consider the county's first anti-loitering laws, scheduled for public hearing on October 6. Several weeks ago, the supervisors asked commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner to draw up a loitering ordinance. In a letter to the board read at Thursday’s meeting by chairman E. P. Luke. Baumgardner noted that loitering legislation can be attacked on grounds that it is unconditionally vague. He emphasized, however, that Virginia's General Assembly has given counties authority to enact such ordinances. Baumgardner said that he tried to make Rappahannock's loitering laws as specific as possible, noting that the proposed ordinance is designed to give local law enforcement officials a tool to combat the “very serious The Shade Celebrates Its Bicentennial Birthday One of the beautiful, old homes in Rappahannock. The Shade, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Paul D. Summers reached its 200th birthday this ye^r and a gala celebration took place there Saturday. During afternoon and evening open house, approximately 400 friends joined Mr. and Mrs. Summers in celebration at a buffet. Built in 1780, the house stands in a secluded spot, between Woodville and - Washington on Routes 622 and 621. The land was an original grant of 3500 acres from King George III to Charles Green. Charles Green gave The Shade to his son, James William Green. The present acreage is 1400. During the Civil War, according to history. Union officers were billeted at The Shade and it was due to their care that the foxhounds on the place survived. The doors of the house bear bayonet marks, apparently made when enlisted men camped nearby had a bit too much applejack and visited the home. Green promised his father that he would never sell the slaves. Shortly after his father died, he was offered $100,000 for them, and refused, according to a historical writing. The Shade was owned by Edward Green and handed down to his daughter Hern* don Green who married Col. Charles Willoughby King. Col. King served in World War 1 and World War II. Their daughter. Louise King Eastham, lives at Ben Venue with her husband T. L. Eastham and sons Fletcher and Lindsay. In 1950 Mr. and Mrs. C. Raymond Wire and twin daughters. Ramona and Rosemary, purchased the farm from the Kings who moved to Ben Venue at that time. After Mr. Wire died several years later Mrs. Wire married Paul D. Summers. Guests coming from Texas just for the occasion included Mrs. Robert Thompson, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Williams, Mr. and Mrs. David Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Ted Guin Harris, Mrs. Crawfoed McMurray, Mrs. James Jeter; from Connecticut were Mr. and Mrs. John Herr, Debra and Elizabeth; James Witherell of Wilmett.

The ordinance as drafted by the commonwealth’s attorney prohibits loitering in public buildings, streets and places, including quasipublic areas in front of or adjacent to commercial establishments. Under the ordinance, loitering includes but is not limited to (I) obstructing free, unhampered passage of pedestrians or vehicles. (2) obstructing, molesting or interfering with any person lawfully upon a street, parking lot or other public place (3) remaining idle without legitimate business, (4) standing idly by, loafing, walking about aimlessly without purpose or “hanging around” and (5) refusing to move on when requested by a peace officer provided the officer exercised discretion to preserve public peace and order. “Do you think you can enforce that?" Luke asked sheriff W. A. Buntin after reading the draft ordinance aloud. Is Enforceable “We can enforce part of it." Buntin replied. “I think it will help. We have a big problem in Sperryville and Flint Hill. It’s really terrible in Sperryville,” he said, reporting that idlers shout obscene language, block traffic and throw rocks, gravel and bottles at passing cars.

Luke Attacks School Board Capital Outlay Report Due Within 30 Days By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON RappduuinoHi (few Staff Writer For three weeks, local citizens have been collecting signatures in support of the appointment of two members at large to the school board, a proposal which members of the Rappahannock board of supervisors had volunteered to raise at Thursdays session. But the suggestion was never voted on or even discussed at the September 4 meeting. Instead, after chairman E. P. Luke criticized the board school board members for (1) holding overly long executive sessions. (2) publicly criticizing teachers in front of their classes and (3) refusing to take action on necessary capital outlay to relieve the overcrowding at both public schools, the supervisors voted unanimously to request a progress report on expansion programs within 90 days. Luke opened his remarks by recalling the lopsided vote in the June referendum in which local citizens voted by a margin of almost 10 to 1 to transfer authority for school board appointments from the electoral trustees to the board of supervisors. “I think that vote was a back lash from what's been going on on the board." he maintained, noting that 1,100 of the county’s 2.700 registered voters had gone to the polls to cast ballots in the single issue referendum. "I think things need to be said about what we expect from the school board ...There are things that have been bothering me for years that I might as well get off my chest.” Luke continued. He reported that school board members have summarily walked into classes and voiced criticism of teachers and their instructional methods in front of students. He pointed out that none of the school board members is a qualified teacher and so have no experience in the field of education. ‘‘It reflects on the administration of the school board, it reflects on the administration of the county...It rankles me that a school board member will walk into a class and publicly criticize the teacher. It’s unheard of.” Luke said. In addition, he maintained that “the dialogue at the school board meetings ...needs to be toned aown. Luke criticized the school board’s executive sessions which frequently stretch past 2 a.m. "There's not that much secret public business,” he charged. "Personnel problems are not of that magnitude, they're not that complicated.” Fiddling Around He noted that after years of delay, the school board still hasn't reached any decision on a building program for the schools. "They’ve fiddled and fiddled around. The school’s are overcrowded now," he said, suggesting that the school board "gel off the dime on capital outlay.” He also called that the board has been giving only a year extension in complying with state mandates on education which will require additional class space. Luke pointed out that all appointed and elected officials take an oath to uphold the laws of the commonwealth. “If you can’t live with that oath to uphold the state constitution, then you shouldn't take the job,” he maintained, recalling that at least one of the school board members has insisted time and again that he wo.i’t obey the law until he sees a judge’s order on the table. "We shouldn't condone that...If you don't like the law. resign. Resign or enforce the law.” Luke said he could agree with opposition to some of the mandates handed down from Richmond "but I don’t see anyone from Rappahannock at the General Assembly working to get the law changed. That's the forum to use for making changes." Teacher Relations He also expressed concern over “the vast turn-over in teachers” here, adding that county schools were serving as a "training ground" for new teachers. He acknowledged that some of those who leave do so for reasons related to lack of housing and low pay but noted that "working environment means a lot.” Luke maintained that fewer teachers would leave the system if they felt wanted and at home here. Luke was also sharply critical of the school board’s finding that bulk storage tanks—an item the board included in the proposed school budget for the last live years without using the funds to install the tanks—were not economically feasible. The supervisor chairman said he'd checked with gas dealers and found that the $3,000 tanks would save approximately $900 a year in fuel costs. As to the school board’s contention that it couldn't make a decision on where to place the tanks until the state first takes the land it needs for widening Route 211 in front of the school bus shop. Luke pointed out that the highway department has agreed to pay for moving the tanks if necessary. In conclusion. Luke suggested the supervisors send a letter to the school board requesting a plan for capital improvements within 90 days. "We're running out of budget time.” he maintained. The supervisor chairman added that if the school board studied capital outlay needs and decided it didn't want an expansion program, “that's fine. But we want hard, cold reasons (defending the decision), something other than you don't like it." he said. "Sometimes we don’t like the law cither but we’re all sitting in a position where we have to obey." he stated. Supervisor Dick Latham's motion to ask for a capital improvements progress report within 90 days or sooner passed unanimously with no further discussion. Exception Taken ‘‘That was a pretty scathing attack on the school board. Frankly. I don't think we deserve it." stated New bill Miller. He noted that of the live-member board, he has attended three meetings. Nancy Reeve two meetings and Nelson Lane only one meeting. "You tarred us all with the same stick.” he maintained. As to the board's three and four hour executive sessions. Miller said that since he'd been on the school board, nothing improper had ever been discussed in the private, bchind-closed-door meetings. Addressing capital improvements. he maintained that the new board members were just getting their feet on the ground. (Continued on Page 7) Subdivision Amendment Tabled For Legal Advice By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer In the absence of commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner, who was attending a meeting in Charlottesville, the supervisors agreed Thursday to table action on proposed amendments to the zoning ordinance section on residential subdivision pending legal advice in executive session. Amendments to list uses by right, special permitted uses and minimum lot size as well as changes to the statement of intent for RS-1 District were unanimously recommended by the planning commission. The planners proposed allowing single family dwellings, accessory buildings, forestry, gardens and small grains and hay by right, and agriculture, home occupations conducted by the occupant and public utilities as permitted in the county's other residential category with a special use permit. The planners suggested minimum lot size of five acres for land under 14 per cent slope and 25 acres for land over 14 per cent slope. The rewording of the RS-1 statement of intent proposed by the planners covers encouragement of large lot, low density residential areas compatible with agricultural and conservation uses. Washington attorney David Konick was the only speaker in favor of the zoning ordinance amendments * at Thursday’s public hearing. He described himself as speaking for a group of landowters in an RS-1 zone in Jackson District who support the proposed amendments. Konick represents these same landowners in ongoing litigation which first brought the omission of uses allowed by right and with a special permit formally to the attention of local government. After Konick stated his clients' support, E. P. Luke asked if anyone was opposed to the amendments. No one answered. “Are you sure about that? This is your last chance,” the supervisor chairman warned. Noting that tlm commonwealth attorney wasn’t present and that the supervisors had received correspondence on the proposed amendments. Luke suggested the board meet in executive session with Baumgardner for legal advice since a case between the county, the Nationwide Pentecostal Evangelistic Association and Konick's clients involving regulations on the county's residential * subdivision zone is still being * Utigated. ’ ‘ The supervisors set September !1 at 11 a.m. for their closed meeting with legal counsel. t

Faith Mountain Discovered By Post The Washington Post spotlighted Sperryville's Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques in the past month, just in time to attract the* annual influx of leaf watchers to Martin and Cheri Woodard’s shop. The August 24 edition of The Washington Post Magazine covered Faith Mountain's mail-order business with "A Medley of Country-Style Herbs for the City-Bound” in the publication's ‘Try It" section. Along with the address for ordering the Woodards' 50-cent catalogue (Box 366. Sperryville. V’a. 22740). the blurb noted, however, that "it seems a shame to forego a drive through the mountain scenery for the convenience of ordering by mail." Then, last week, in the travel section of Sunday’s Post. Faith Mountain and Sperryville were included in an article on-Graves Lodge at Syria. "Sperryville is one of those little southern towns that lived through the Civil War intimately, hosting sometimes the Union, sometimes the Confederate army...Today Sperryville is not much more than a crossroads bordered by old houses mpstly in need of paint, many now reincarnated as antique shops." the Post writer described the town. She saved her more flattering adjectives for Faith Mountain and the merchandise—both antiques and herbs—stocked by the Woodards. Sperry ville Emporium and Mike Wyman’s Main Street antique shop were also noted in the write-up. "The nice thing is that most (of the Sperrvville businesses) are open on Sunday morning, since the owners usually live above their shops," the writer remarked.

TAYLOR Farmers who may be faced with storage problems for this year's grain crops can obtain funds to build additional facilities or to expand their present storage structures. The farm facility loan program authorizes ASCS to loan up to $100,000 to producers needing farm facilities for storing dry or high moisture grain, soybeans, and high moisture forage and silage. Loans are also available for drying and handling equipment. The interest rates for loans is now 13 per cent. Eligible storage structures include conventional bins, flat, multipurpose structures and silo-type facilities. The drying equipment includes continuous-flow dryers, batch or in-storage drying systems as well as systems that dry by aerating or circulating the crop. Farmers who have suitable storage can exercise greater independence in their marketing operations and help strengthen market prices. They can also take full advantage of commodity loan programs and realize higher total income from their farm operations in years of excess production. A minimum down payment of 15 per cent of the cost is required in cash before the loan is disbursed. The loans may be repaid in seven equal annual installments over a period of eight years. Farm facility loans are secured and borrowers are required to provide adequate security to protect the Commodity Credit Corporation's interest. August Park Visits Up 27% Visitors to Shenandoah National Park during August showed a 27 percent increase over August of a year ago.

Loitering Law Proposed Continued from Page 1) "Are these grown people?” inquired supervisor Dick Latham. About 50-50,” Buntin answered, noting that most of the harassment was coming from individuals between the ages of 18 and 22. According to Buntin, antiloitering legislation is the only feasible avenue for control of the problem. Most of the businesses in the community have put up “no trespassing” signs, he said, and now, loiterers gather on right-of-way where highway department gravel is stockpiled or in the middle of the street. "This certainly will help,” he concluded. Noting that there are laws which prohibit rock throwing at vehicles. Diana Bird maintained that it should be possible to prosecute violaters under existing ordinances. She questioned whether the county should make it illegal for someone to loaf—"just sitting and not doing anything wrong." The draft ordinance will make it possible for law abiding people to be harassed by police, she cautioned. "We don’t have any problem with law abiding people." Buntin countered, assuring the supervisors that the sheriff's department will not engage in harassment. He maintained that local residents plagued by Speryville’s hoodlum element are afraid to lodge a cornpaint under existing laws for fear of “retaliation.” In addition, the sheriff noted, most of the Sperryville idlers have radio monitors and know when the police are coming to investigate a complaint. “When we get there, they’re all sitting around like a bunch of angels.” he said. The supervisors set October 6, their next meeting date, for a public hearing on the proposed anti-loitering ordinance. More Letter* The August meeting was a session for letters. Luke reported on additional correspondence from General District Court Judge John Alexander and Juvenile and Domestic Relations Judge Burke Hertz, requesting court house space for the juvenile probation officer. The board authorized Luke to work out a rearrangement of offices to satisfy the two judges.

Hammond noted in her latest letter that she’d written the supervisors, in June, 1979, informing them that Amissville dumpsters were located on her private property rather than on highway department right-of-way as intended. At that time. Hammond claimed the county owed her $9,900 and volunteered to cooperate in making necessary modifications and negotiating a fair contract for future use of the land. The supervisors never responded to Mrs. Hammond’s letter and continued to use her property in what she described as a “haphazard fashion” with "no regard or consideration.” Her most recent bill includes rental costs for the past year. According to resident highway engineer Don Askew, the 11 Amissville dumpters were originally located on highway department right-of-way. During construction of widened Route 211. however, a couple of green boxes were eased back onto Mrs. Hammond’s land. Askew acknowledged. Approximately two months ago, the dumpsters were moved from the contested area to a new site purchased by the county on Route 642. But problems in addition to Mrs. Hammond's persistent charges have continued. Last month, the supervisors initially balked at paying Wallace Critzer's $5,000 bill for improvements to the access road to the new dumpster site but later reconsidered in executive session. lukc announceo ai lasi Thursday’s meeting, however, that the board has received complaints from people getting stuck in the driveway when trying to get to the boxes to dispose of trash. Hubert Gilkey recalled that at the August supervisor session, he'd said that Chester Gap dumpsters would be relocated from private property onto highway department right-of-way in response to a landowner’s request. But. he told the board on Thursday, some site preparation will have to be done first on the state land. No Money “We don’t have any money left in the budget after paying the bill for Amissville," Luke responded. “Maybe we can scrape up the money from some other area.” he added after Gilkey said only gravel is needed. Clerk Diane Bruce reported that the results of a recent inspection by the county’s fire insurance carrier. Carr and Hyde in Warrenton, found fire hazards at the court house from materials stored in the basement and at the jail from storage on the second floor. In addition, said Bruce, the inspectors recommended adoption of a smoking policy for the jail and replacement of mattresses there.

Sheriff Buntin added that he didn't think the mattresses needed replacing. "But if we’re forced to, it won’t be expensive.” he said, reporting price at around $20 per mattress. In other action, the supervisors accepted county engineer Fanning Baumgardner’s resignation effective September 5. According to Baumgardner’s letter, he resigned due to demands of private business concerns. “It puts us in a hell of a hole,” remarked Luke. According to the chairman, Baumgardner was working on several jobs for the 'bounty. “I don’t know where we’ll find the time or the money to get them done,” he added. suggesting the problem be discussed in executive session.

Boys Injured Four Sperryville youths were injured early Sunday morning in a single-vehicle traffic crash just east of Sperryville on Route 211. Kent R. Jenkins was operator of the 1967 Chevelle in which Greg Bright. Paul L. Jenkins and David E. Whorton were passengers, according to Trooper H. A. Newlin. The vehicle went out of control, became airborne and slammed into an embankment, said Newlin. The car was demolished, he said and charges are pending. The driver sustained lacerations of the face and minor internal injuries, said the officer and added that Bright sustained a broken arm and leg, sprained back and facial lacerations. He was riding in the front passenger seat. Paul Jenkins received lacerations and abrasions and sprained wrist while Whorton had a fractured shoulder and laceration. The same morning. Richard Lewis of Springfield driving a '78 Dodge apparently fell asleep, ran off the highway and struck the bank on Route 211 and 667 intersection in Sperryville. He was not injured, said Trooper Newlin, who investigated, but was cited for driving under the influence, driving on a suspended or revoked license and reckless driving. Two vehicles were involved in a collison September 8 at 10:30 a.m. a mile south of Woodville on Route 522. They were Mrs. Carol Ann Bearden of Uniontown, Pa. and Franklin Campbell Hitt of Woodville. According to Trooper Newlin both cars were southbound when Hitt attempted to make a left turn into a driveway and Mrs. Bearden started to pass at the same time. The 'Bearden car, a 1979 Datsun, overturned when she struck Hitt’s ’69 Willys Jeep. Bearden was charged with reckless driving. Newlin also investigated a vandalized Ford loader belonging to the highway department which had the windshield and side window glass knocked out with rocks.

Washington, Va. 22747 HOURS: 8 30 a m to 5:30 pm. Mon -Fri. Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member. Audit Bureau of Circulation Hypocrisy Supervisor chairman E.P. Luke delivered a tongue lashing to the school board on Thursday regarding its failure to uphold the Virginia Code. Specifically. he criticized statements from a board member who has repeatedly demanded to see a judge’s order on the table before complying with state law. Noting that all appointed and elected officials take an oath to uphold the Virginia Constitution, Luke’s advice was abide by the law or resign. Hurrah! It’s about time that the county fathers did something to discourage the blatantly anti-education attitudes displayed at times in the past by certain members of the board. It’s about time that someone called a halt to the school board's five-year foot dragging on capital outlay. It’s just a little surprising to hear these sentiments expressed by the chairman of the supervisors. Luke has given us a classic example of the old "do as I say and not as I do” attitude. It’s the supervisor pot calling the school board kettle black. According to state law, the county has to provide a building inspector. It’s not a new regulation and in fact has been on the books for almost a decade. Does Rappahannock, whose supervisors have taken the same oath to uphold state law, as the school board members have an inspector? No. And it doesn’t look like we’ll get one any time in the foreseeable future unless the state cracks the whip. The Winchester firm that previously offered to staff a building inspection program here has withdrawn its bid after making several futile trips to the court house—at the board's request—to discuss the contract. Asked what the board plans to do. Luke’s reply was, nothing. Then there’s the matter of State Fire Code violations. In November, 1977, the supervisors were informed that the court house must have a second outdoor exit from the upstairs court room in order to comply with Virginia fire regulations. This isn’t an arbitrary ride. It's a matter of safety since the only exist now lies directly over the furnace room, the most likely spot for a fire to break out in the building. And after three years, do we have a fire escape? No. State law also charges the supervisors with providing a county landfill for trash disposal. We've met the letter if not the intent of that regulation by contracting with a commercial firm to dispose of refuse from the county dumpsters at a private landfill, leaving Rappahannock residents with no place to get rid of larger household items and materials illegal to place in the green boxes. Now the permit issued by the board of zoning appeals has expired and while the private landfill is still in use. the operation is illegal. And what’s being done about the permit that ex pired over a year ago? Nothing. The supervisors have taken little action to see that the laws they themselves enacted are enforced. The zoning ordinance stipulates that certificates of occupancy must be granted by the zoning administrator before new construction is occupied or utilized. Since adoption of the ordinance in 1973, only permits have been granted by Col. Evan McNear, who insists the county must have a building inspector in order for him to follow the correct procedures in issuing an occupancy permit. In neighboring Prince William County, a homeowner took a builder to court recently for failure to meet contractual obligations. The judge ruled that the homeowner had no standing to seek judicial relief since he had moved into his home before an occupancy permit, required by local ordinances, was issued. This type of situation with failure of contracts to build up to standards set by contracts or the state building code seems more likely to arise here since Rappahannock has no inspection program. If the Prince William litigation sets case law precedent, the supervisors may have some angry taxpayers on their hands at some later date when a landowner finds he has no legal redress because he moved in before getting his occupancy permit—a procedure that is required here but rarely enforced. Another area of the ordinance that calls for attention is the section on signs. Local law specifically prohibits posting of signs, with special enumerated exceptions, on trees^ublic utility poles, fences, rocks, curbstones, sidewalks, lampposts, hydrants, bridges, highway markers or other signs. Recendy, the zoning administrator, faced with countless violations on every major road in the county, printed the sign regulations in the Rappahannock News in a paid ad at the taxpayers expense. Since that time, not a single violator has been cited and only a handful of illegal signs has come down. Asked whether he planned to enforce the sign law. Col. McNear said his one-day-a-week office did not have the time or the manpower to force compliance throughout the entire county and so wouldn’t enforce the law at all since to do so for just a few violators would be unfair. How does the approach meet the oath of office to uphold state and local laws? We agree with the substance of Col. Luke’s remarks delivered last Thursday at the supervisor meeting. It’s time for the school board to begin meeting the letter AND the intent of state law, specifically the standards of quality for education designed to give every Virginia youngster the tools to meet the demands of life. But it’s also way past the time for the supervisors to follow their own advice. Y outh Meeting The Rappahannock Task Force on Youth will meet I uesday.

WORMALD Special To Rappahannock Mewa The Wormalds were not among those members of the Washington Press group who had to leave Delhi at an ungodly hour February 27. Those who were flying straight home—not very many. 1 suspect—had a 5:45 a.m. departure, not untypical of flights from Delhi to Europe and North America. Even those who were going on to other parts of India did not for the most part seem to be much better off. But our flight was timed to leave at 12:30 p.m. One of the many amenities of the press club’s excursion was that we could stay on in India after the end of the official program, at our own expense, of course, but without any addition to the air fare. Only we had to make our plans and reservations before leaving home. Even allowing for the demands of the garden and for visits to family and friends in Europe. Virginia and 1 thought it would make sense to add three or four days to the ten days of official hospitality. We could still be home by the middle of March. Where to go for those three or four days was no problem. There were lots of wonderful sights to be seen over the length and breadth of India, but Virginia's heart was set on Kashmir. You know: the snowy Himalayas, the flowery vale, lakes with houseboats. Mogul pleasure-gardens, pale hands I loved and all that. On being told of our dream. Air India in Washington was discouraging. Did I not know that Srinagar, capital of Kashmir, is 400 miles north of Delhi? Up there, at the end of February, it would still be winter, with rain and floods, if not snow on the ground. No flowers of course. Nor would the houseboats be open for visitors, just ordinary hotels. But knowing when my wife’s mind is made up, 1 said that nevertheless we wanted reservations for three nights in Srinagar. O.K. We had been fairly warned. The services furnished the Washington group by the travel agents that took care of us. Travel Corporation of India, included driving us to the airport for what was for them our final departure from Delhi. The once-a-day flight for Srinagar via Amritsar was full to the brim, but cabin service was up to the usual standard of Indian Airlines. During the brief stop at Amritsar we craned our necks in vain for a glimpse of the Golden Temple, central shrine of the Sikhs. We were not allowed to land. We sensed a certain tension in the air and noticed an unusually large number of soldiers on the field. Then we recalled that we were within a stone's throw of the Pakistani frontier. A few minutes after takeoff we found ourselves flying through clouds—something we had not seen for the last ten days, even at a distance. When we emerged, already at a low altitude, we caught ragged glimpses of snowclad mountains, but mainly we were looking down on a brown. soggy, sunless landscape. Air India, Washington, had not lied to us. Srinagar airport was as unappetizing as its surroundings. Also, after what I take to be the main arrival of the day. it was crowded and chaotic. We looked in vain for the TCI representative we had expected to meet us. After a while I got hold of some functionary and explained our problem. He called out something in Urdu (I presume), which at once produced a personable young man who said in excellent English that he was R. K. Nirash, local representative of TCI. Obviously he was not awaiting us: he just happened to be at the airport on other business. When, however, we explained that we had expected to be met. with a hotel reservation, but had no voucher, not even the name of a hotel, he said he would take care of everything. Within half-an-hour we were sitting over tea with Mr. Nirash in a comfortable hotel room, working out under his guidance our program for the next three days. To this day we can hardly believe our luck, first in just running into Mr. Nirash, then in finding him to be another guide of superlative quality. He was an orthodox Hindu, and next dr.'' he told us that he had made a small offering to Ganesha, the jovial elephant-headed "remover of obstacles,” and said a prayer for better weather. The morning, nevertheless, w as overcast and sunless. The rain had stopped but the open space on the other side of the road under our windows, a public park I think, was still flooded. At 10 o'clock Mr. Nirash, with a car and driver, picked us up for a sightseeing tour of Srinagar. We stopped first on the northern edge of the city to gaze up at the lofty for tress of Harr Parabat. with outer walls built by the Emperor Akbar in the closing years of the 16th century. Then, down town, we visited the Shah Hamadan mosque, dating originally from 1395. Its spacious courtyard surrounded by an arcade with tall, slender wooden pillars was impressive. but padding around in stocking feet on halfsoaked matting did my cold no good at all. We then strolled (with our shoes on again) through the rather muddy streets of the bazaar and down to one of the nine wooden bridges across the river Jhelum. The welter of little shops and throngs of merchants and shoppers seemed pretty much the same as in other Indian cities we had seen, but both the architecture and the people were quite different. The three- and four-story brick houses were clearly designed for a cold climate, and the people tended to be taller, leaner and harderfeatured than we had met elsewhere. We were glad to note the contrast. Also, while scruffy dogs abounded wherever we went in India, the only two cats we encountered, both sleek and well fed. were in the bazaar in Srinagar. Finally. Mr. Nirash suggested that we might like to see the cottage industry that produces the famous Kashmir rugs. By now the cottage industry has come to bear a marked resemblance to a small factory enterprise, but there is no question that it is a family activity and a literal handicraft. Each rug is woven by family group of four or five, ranging from an elderly grandfather or middle-aged father down to quite small children. They sit side by side in front of a big hand-loom, each inserting his shuttle with a different-colored thread at the appropriate moments under the direction of the senior member of the group. We were told that the weaving of a sizeable rug might take as long as 18 months—small wonder when you learn that the finer wool rugs may have as many as 440 knots to the square inch, and silk rugs even more. Then we were led into a showroom to look at the finished products. It was a truly superb collection. But Mr. Nirash was, I am sure, as surprised as I was when my wife up and bought a couple —Rappahannock New* Photo/F.S. Worm a Id SHALIMAR GARDEN at Srinagar, Kashmir with the snowy Himalayas, the flowery vale, lakes with houseboats. of rugs, one for me and one for her brother. The salesman assured her that, on receipt of her certified check, the rugs would be swiftly airfreighted to Sperryville and. as handicraft products, would enter the U.S.A. duty free. It all proved out except about the duty—eight per cent ad valorem. But you are only young once, as Virginia said, and now each evening my feet rest on a handsome Kashmir rug. After lunch at the hotel we were driven through the city again and along the bank of Lake Dal, facing the famous houseboats. Our goal was the Mogul gardens on the east bank of the lake, beginning with Shalimar Bagh, some ten miles from the city. There were indeed no flowers on February 28 and no fountains playing. Clearly we missed something, but even so the garden was impressive. Limpid water from the hills flows down over four successive terraces, through pools and cascades, to fall into the lake. In the center of each terrace is a simple but graceful stone pavilion. The whole area is dotted with huge chinar trees, which look like cousins of the European plane or American sycamore but are immensely bigger. As though to offset the gentleness of the scene, the nearest range of the Himalayas, snowcovered and still cloudcapped at the end of February, after the recent rains, provided an austere backdrop. Ironically enough, just as the sun was coming out for the first time that day. I slipped in the mud that coated^one of the marble pavements and put my camera out of action for the rest of the trip. On our way back we looked in briefly on the next most famous garden. Nishat Bagh, but my heart had gone out of the business. The following morning we set out by car again on an expedition into the Himalayas themselves. Our destination was Pahalgam in the Liddar Valley, some 60 road miles east of Srinagar and roughly 7000 feet above sea level. We started in a southerly direction, on what was obviously the main road connecting Srinagar with the rest of India, and close beside the River Jhelum, key to the Vale’s fertility. At that season, of course, there were no recognizable crops in the fields. The villages and little towns we passed through differed from their counterparts further south much as Srinagar differed from other Indian cities—solider buildings, drabber clothes, harder faces. More than once my eye was caught by crisscross piles of wooden billets, obviously left that way to dry. The answer to my query was "Cricket-bat blades." I had wondered where the indispensable willow grew: it is not the kind of tree to fourish in the climate of central India. Everywhere we had been, wherever kids were playing on a sandlot, we were reminded that, however it may be in England, cricket is the national game of India. One of the odder legacies of the Raj. I thought. After passing through the city of Anantnag (second in Kashmir, we were told), we stopped at a Hindu temple, which Mr. Nirash said was a popular object of pilgrimage. With its clear water flowing down through a series of stone tanks, it seemed to owe something to Islamic inspiration. In a corner of one tank, a man was bathing, giving himself a thorough scrub-down. In accordance with Indian custom, apparently. he was stripped down to his undcrshorts but kept them on. It fairly made our teeth chatter to sec him, as the day was far from warm. In tact, we were not too warm in the car. The day before. Virginia had been surprised to note what she took to be the extraordinary incidence of pregnancy among Kashmiri women. Then, by some chance, she learned her mistake. Most ot the women were not pregnant but merely holding under their voluminous woollen cloaks the little pots of burning charcoal enclosed in wicker baskets with which Kashmiris of both sexes and all ages keep warm in winter. There was one of these braziers in the car. but as it sat between the two men on the front seat it did not do us much good. Soon after leaving the temple, the road began to climb quite sharply. Though in fair condition it was a typical mountain road. Soon it was under a few inches of snow. Below us a sizeable stream came tumbling down over a rocky bed. In front and on both sides of us, at no great distance. rugged mountains rose steeply into the clouds. In an hour or so we reached Pahalgram, a simple little mountain resort, strung out along the road and built, it seemed, mainly of wood. The admirable little guidebook we bought later in Srinagar confirmed our impression that Pahalgam is strictly a summer resort. Even then, most of the “breathtaking trips” it offers take several days and. of course, require camping equipment and professional guides. But we were not the only visitors that February day. The dining room of the little hotel to which Mr. Nirash led us was pretty busy. Whether or not there were others, its popularity would have been explained by the excellence of the food. Without fuss or ceremony, our conductor showed that he was indeed a Brahmin. He took a cup of tea with us but ate his, lunch at a separate table across the room. As we left the hotel, snow was falling. There were already a few inches in the street. In the doorway we came face to face with a party of visitors from Kuwait who were staying in the same hotel in Srinagar. The women were padding through the slushy snow in the silk or velvet slippers that seemed to be their only footwear. Presumably, life on the Persian Gulf does not prepare one for the Himalayas. On our way back to the Jhelum Valley, our driver took a different road—this time on the right bank of the tributary stream. It was a kind of cornice road and should. I gathered, have given us splendid views of the high mountains, but in one day you can't both experience a Himalayan snowstorm and see the Himalayas. The new route was also a short cut, which enabled us to digress for a visit before the end of the day to a houseboat on Lake Dal. We turned off the main road just short of the city, climbed*pver a low hill occupied by the former British cantonments, now an Indian army post, and dropped down to a boatlanding on the shore of the lake. There we stepped aboard a shikara, the local water taxi and all-purpose boat, rather like a small Venetian gondola except that it lacks the gondola's conspicuous steel prow, indeed any raised prow at all. It is paddled in much the same way by a man standing at the stern. I noticed that the paddle blade was of a distinctive shape—like a birch or poplar leaf. We had read that, for people staying on a houseboat, the shikara is not only the sole means of going ashore but also the only handy grocery store. Even so. we were a bit startled when, in mid-coarse, another shikara pulled alongside us with an impressive collection of postcards, junk jewelry, souvenirs and so forth. I almost omitted to mention that we had one of the wicker-covered braziers on the seat cushion between us, and we needed it. The houseboats are an eyeopener. They are ranged side by side, along what I took to be the shore of an island, facing across to the lakeside rqad. There are dozens of them, and they apparently come in three or four grades, from decidedly shabby to fantastically splendid. Over the verandah on the poop (or any rate the lake-facing end of the boat) all or most of them have their names painted up in large letters—surprising names like Rose of Texas and Grade Fields. The houseboat we were taken to was clearly of the deluxe class. It had a huge living-room, a sizeable dining room, and three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Above our heads the upper deck would have been fur(Continued on Page 10) The Little Fox

Academy Award winning director Milos Forman, aided by the world famous choreographer Twyla Tharp, have transformed the stage version into an exhuberant film, a celebration of life depicting the struggle and triumph of the flower-child generation. HAIR is the story of Claude Hooper Bokowsky. a shy and confused country boy who arrives in New York City prepared to enlist in the army. While wandering in Central Park, he becomes attracted to a joyful crowd of gypsy young people, led by Berger, a Beatjes look-alike whose ebullient zest for life inspires continual pranks, songs, and dance within his wildly costumed hippie tribe. Claude falls in love with Sheila, and follows Berger’s tribe on a madcap rampage through New York culminating in Berger's astounding rendition of the title song HAIR while prancing and dancing across the banquet table of a high society reception. The movie’s climax is dramatic as Berger takes Claude’s place on a troop plane bound for Vietnam. HAIR transforms the political turmoil of the sixties, and the search for identity of an entire generation, into a joyful array ot dance and song, an invitation for everyone to let the sun shine in. HAIR will feature at 8 P-M. this Friday and Saturday night, and at 7:30 P.M. Sunday, at Mountain Magic Cinema. in Washington. Virginia.

Supervisors Demand Report v'.umuiuca irom t*age 1) Luke countered that when one school board member attends classes, he is acting in the name of the board and according to law, represents the entire membership. "I don’t want the people of the county to get a misrepresentation of the way we act because you're wrong." Miller insisted. Mary Beth Martin, attending the meeting with a folder of petitions supporting at-iarge members to the school board, maintained that last month’s appointment of Nelson Lane to fill the vacancy in StonewallHawthorne District created by Walter Masterson's resignation had been done "behind the public's eyes." None of the people in the district knew the vacancy even existed until after the position was filled, she said. Martin insisted that the June referendum indicted “real concern" regarding what was going on on the school board. She maintained that appointment of two atlarge members, an option available to the supervisors, would make the school board more representative of the people and suggested that the supervisors discuss the atlarge appointments.

Fri., Sat., 8 p.m. Sun., 7:30 p.m. barely exist. They re within a thread of not being accredited,” she maintained. “I personally can say that the schools are not meeting health requirements," Martin charged. She argued that the school board needs more members who are primarily concerned with education, and maintained that the appointment of at-large members would give the supervisors an opportunity to change the make-up of the board. In regard to at-large appointments. Luke maintained that supporters would not be able to convince the supervisors to go along with this action by discussing the issue in the court room. Those in favor of at-large members, he said, must do more “grass roots" work to gain public support first. "The other thing to look at is you could lose. If we vote (on the at-large appointments) and you lose, you’ve lost that option." Luke warned. "That doesn’t mean it couldn’t be brought up again." argued Martin, calling for a vote so that citizens will know where their elected representatives stand. "We're not going to discuss that today." answered Luke, adding that the supervisors wouldn't even consider setting a date in the future for debate on at-large appointments. "Your idea is tabled." he concluded. Pressed further, he added that the supervisors “might consider” at-large appointments if the school board reftised to take action on capital outlay within three months. “None of us expects perfection but the people of Wakefield District don't feel fairly represented on the school board,” said Diana PARK THEATRE UP ■WHWiHiiM.U.BJiil Last Night 7:30 “Used Cars” (B) MAIMS IOMOQROH' Fri. & Sat. 7:10 & 9-00 SatJSun.

Insisting that the public should view the school board as representing the county, not a particular district. Luke countered that he and supervisors Latham .and Wood could all feel the same way—that their districts weren’t fairly represented and so they deserved an atlarge member from their area. Bird reminded the supervisor chairman that the three supervisors he named had all been given the opportunity since passage of the June referendum to name an appointee to the school board. “If you don't feel fairly represented. it's because you didn’t name the person you wanted.” she said. Vacancies Publicized? Dave Moore asked if the supervisors would, in the future, give the public notice of an upcoming vacancy before voting on an appointment. Luke replied that there's no rule governing the procedure the board must follow. “Each supervisor can handle it differently,” he said, adding that he wouldn't presume to tell his fellow board members how to act on a vacancy from their district. Wakefield supervisor Hubert Gilkey said he would have a public meeting with his constitutents to gain their views. “The referendum was a message that the people want a voice in who’s put on the school board." Luke added that he would also meet with his constitutents before acting on a school board vacancy. H. B. Wood, StonewallHawthorne supervisor who appointed Nelson Lane to the school board last month, said the expiration of school board terms is public record unless a resignation occurs. He added that he’d received no calls of complaint regarding his appointment of Lane. I don t think you should interpret that as meaning there’ no unhappiness with what you did,” countered Stonewall-Hawthorne resident Sharon Kilpatrick. "We talking about the way you operate." Dave Moore continued, arguing that the supervisors should represent the views of the people in the county. "I'm representing the people who elected me.” Luke countered, adding that he met regularly with his constituents on major issues to learn their opinions. "We'd like to know that the supervisors will listen to a majority of the voters.” interjected Valerie Jones. "What will you listen to?” she asked. “Rational arguments.” Luke replied. Rational arguments, in the form of 250 signatures collected in Wakefield District in 11 days, weren’t enough to convince the MOUNTAIN MAGIC CINEMA -.4 ' - Gay St., Washington, Va.

We don’t want to wait for another year to go by, for the schools to get more overcrowded. for more teachers to leave. I have my doubts whether the current board will do anything.” she said. Doubts Shared “Personally. 1 share those doubts," Luke responded. “But where are the two members at-large going to come from?” he asked, noting that he had a quality representative from his district while Wood also had a nominee from StonewallHawthome. ‘‘The most qualified person in the county (former elementary principal Mary Botts Quaintance) is in H. B.’s district,’’ Luke added, to nods in agreement from Wood. ‘‘Then why didn’t he put her on the board?” asked Kilpatrick. “Our concern is the way business is conducted in this county.” Diana Bird repeated. adding that consideration of at-large membership on the school board would make people feel that their true interests were being represented. “I think you all are representing the true interests of this county.” Miller told the supervisors. "I think the school board is too." said the new member. To achieve representative membership, he maintained, each supervisor must appoint a person from his district. "Then if the constituents don’t like it. they can refuse to re-elect him. That way. all the voters get input, not just those who are politically active." Miller said, adding that it wasn't fair to let ten people speaking out at a board meeting determine policy. "If the school board recommends a fairly expensive capital improvements program, can it be included in next year’s budget after the reassessment?" asked Kilpatrick. The board ’ members answered that an expansion program could be financed through a loan from the state literary fund for school construction or through a bond referendum. Luke maintained that building a little bit at a time was the best way for the school board to proceed. "Yes. but they didn't and now both schools are bursting” while inflational costs have doubled the price tag on school construction in the last four or five years. Kilpatrick concluded.

Baines Honored As Conservationist The Rappahannock League for Environmental Protection last week recognized Lynne B. Baines for outstanding efforts in environmental education. At RLEP's membership meeting on September 5, president Phil Irwin presented Mrs. Baines with SI00 and the organization's Conservation Award for 1980. "With a sense of social responsibility and dedication to ecological principles, and in the absence of any state or local environmental education programs or guidelines, Lynne Baines, on her own initiative, developed a curriculum ideally suited to the capabilities of her seventh grade science students." the RLEP citation notes. “Using readings, films. Tax Changes (Continued from Page 1) —usually at the4 recommendation of the supervisors—and trained by the department of taxation. The board of equalization can’t reassess. Jordan emphasized. “They can’t give a blanket order to raise or lower all assessments ten per cent. They have to consider each assessment on a caseby-case basis...But that doesn’t mean that every piece of pasture land in Rappahannock County must be appraised at $300 an acre.” Jordan noted. He explained that the constitutional mandate calls for assessments to reflect fair market value and this will set value of some pasture land at $300 an acre while another parcel may be valued at $1,500 an acre. He noted that appraisals have to be within 70 per cent of the county’s actual sales ratio. to generate revenue, Jordan stressed. In answer to questions, the tax department representative said the equalization board, as a public body, must advertise at least ten days prior to meeting in open session. The board, he said, has a positive duty both to raise and lower assessments' to achieve equal taxation and so doesn’t have to wait until a citizen complains before changing an assessment. Any change, however, must come in the form of an order to the commissioner of revenue and will be public record, Jordan added. In answer to a request from the chairman, Jordan said the supervisors may sit in on the training sessions for the members of the equalization board. He added that the department of taxation is currently printing reassessment handbooks which will also be available. reports, lectures, field trips, speakers, experiments and observations and both student and teacher-made materials, each student learns that there are responsibilities and rights as a member of society to ensure preservation and wise use of the natural environment." “We all may take pride in the outstanding leadership and lasting benefits that have flowed from this fine educator,” the citation concludes.

t arm Losses Revised Upward The hot dry weather of this summer continues to take its toll of Virginia agricultural production Commissioner S. Mason Carbaugh of the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services reported last week. All indications point to a crop loss that will far exceed the earlier estimated $100 million loss for farmers, and may approach twice that amount if rain doesn’t come soon. Com for grain is a disaster, yields in a large number of cases will not cover the cost of production. Soybeans are now rated in poor condition, peanuts are rated only in fair condition, pasture land and tobacco fields are showing increasing distress. Compounding the problem are the reports of disease and insect damage.

Virginia, on Saturday. November 1, 1980. Seminar On Sub. Streets A seminar on the requirements for additions of subdivision streets to the state’s secondary road system will be held at the Culpeper District office on Orange Road in Culpeper on October 2. In January, the State Highway and transportation Commission eased the requirements for subdivision streets in some categories. Changes included easing construction standards of lightly traveled streets where terrain—particularly in mountainous areas—makes the higher standards difficult and more expensive to attain. Other changes include an amending of right-of-way requirements to permit reduced widths, establishing a formal review procedure to resolve disagreements on interpretation and application of street standards, increasing maintenance fees and developers’ performance surety to reflect inflation, allowing blanket approval of certain precast manhole and drainage inlets readily available from fabricators and accepting for maintenance so-called stub streets (short extensions of existing streets intended to connect future streets) if their construction is required by local ordinances. The Culpeper seminar, one of nine scheduled throughout the state, will begin at 9:30 a.m. taking a toll in corn and soybeans and burley tobacco has suffered from blue mold. Commissioner Carbaugh noted that the aflatoxin monitoring program for com is continuing in Virginia. Only one sample has exceeded the FDA guidelines of 100 parts per billion. VDACS will continue its monitoring efforts and the Commissioner asked that any producer with questions concerning the program contact the Department. To this date the Commissioner noted some 73 localities in the state have been designated by the Farmers Home Administration for disaster assistance. Some 43 of these localities have been requested by Governor Dalton for assistance from the Small Business Administration. All the programs under Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service are in effect including the emergency feed program. Under this program livestock producers may receive 3 cents per pound of hay or other feed grain equivalent in costshare payments to help maintain their livestock operations through the current drought period.

Inside, the furnishings and equipment were on a lavish scale and, though not all to our taste, of the highest quality. Elaborately carved hardwood furniture in the Kashmiri tradition was particularly conspicuous. Over a pot of delicately scented Kashmir tea. Mr. Nirash told us how it all works. Nowadays visitors rent a houseboat for just a few days, seldom more than four or five at most. For that time, however, one is a lakedweller. getting provisions by shlkarm and water from the lake. Presumably the water is boiled before drinking, but even so we did not feel particularly sorry that we had come at the wrong season and had to make do with a common-or-garden hotel. It was a good hotel and we had no complaints. It took them three shots to get my bill made up right, but the third was my fault as I had forgotten until Mr. Nirash reminded me at the last minute that I had given him 300 rupees to turn over to the hotel as a deposit on our room. We had the last morning free for shopping and we used it successfully to fill our quota of gifts for family and friends. Srinagar can be warmly recommended for gift shopping. Mr. Nirash picked us up at one o’clock as promised, to take us to the airport for the 3:15 plane. We were a bit jumpy, as we had to catch the one-and-only flight to Delhi that day in order to make our scheduled departure for Paris at 7 the next morning. Otherwise we should have been in real trouble. But our friend did not fail us. Delhi was rather warmer than Srinagar, though only 25 centigrade (77 fahrenheit). not 35 (95) as Virginia thought she heard the stewardess announce. Our hotel room at the Ashoka was ready for us. but it was not in the handsome new wing, and its price reminded us again how much we had been favored on the official trip. We were duly called at 4 a.m., survived the bedlam and navigated the formalities of the airport, were given excellent seats in the 747. and were off on time. We left India with real regret. If the Indian planners of our trip hoped to make new friends for their country in the U.S.A.. they succeeded with at feast two of us. We would certainly recommend any American who can afford the fare to take a look at India. He will not be disappointed.

It was a bit of a bore having to shun tapwater. even for teeth-cleaning, and let only bottled water pass one's lips, but it became a habit—and we did not get sick. Much Indian food was not to my personal taste, but there was always something 1 could enjoy. If we saw little grinding poverty and smelled almost no grievous smells, we knew we were leading a sheltered life, and were not ungrateful. Not that we were totally blind to India's problems. Over-population, fuel shortages, air pollution, and an almost pathological suspicion of neighboring Pakistan could hardly be overlooked. But a stranger gets the impression that India has the vigor to grapple with the problems. Game Law Error Due to an error of ommission in the 1980 Summary of Virginia Game Laws, an amendement to Section 29-52 of the Code of Virginia was not included. House Bill Number 372 (1980) amended Section 29-52 by adding paragraph 4 (a) which reads as follows: "License shall not be required of resident persons under sixteen years of age to trap when accompanied by any person eighteen years of age or older who possesses a valid State license to trap in this Commonwealth."
