Thirty Years As A Washington Councilwoman By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON and CINDY CUMINS Staff Writers The town of Washington made national news when its all-woman council took their seats in 1950. This September, 30 years later, Dorothy Hawkins is the single member of that petticoat government still in office, having served without a break for more than a quarter of a century. Postal clerk, avid yoga enthusiast, councilwoman, wife, mother and grandmother, she’s maintained the delightful enthusiasm with life which most of us lose at 12. Politics may be a “down and dirty” business but politicians, she's proved, can be trusting, friendly and warm. “It all began one evening when Judge ‘Snippy’ Miller and his wife were sitting on their front porch talking,” Dorothy recalled. The " town was a mess—stray dogs roaming, trash lying around, grass unmowed, street lights out. The general feeling was that Washington’s town fathers had been negligent. "Mrs. Miller jestingly suggested that even the women could do a better job. It just shows what front porch talk can result in!” Dorothy chuckled. The more he thought about it, the more Judge "Miller felt that town mothers could get more accomplished, according to Dorothy, and so the very next morning, he began organizing a slate of women candidates with himself as campaign manager. When the Judge called her to see if she’d allow her name to be put up, Dorothy said yes and so began a political career which has already lasted 30 years. On September 1, 1950, Washingtonians seated Dorothy Hawkins, Achsah Miller, Bobbi Critzer, Elizabeth Racer and Ruby Jenkins and Louise Price around the council table with Dorothy Davis weilding the mayor’s gavel. Laughing at the irony, Mrs. Hawkins recalled the inauguration proceedings were almost spoiled when stray dogs, one of the issues that swept the ladies into office, broke up the ceremonies with a fight. First Laughter At first, the town didn’t take its government in petticoats very seriously. “The men thought it was hilarious,” Dorothy remembered. “But after they realized our determination, they were proud!” Dorothy’s family was behind her from the outset. She described her husband June’s reaction as “excited and very supportive” while her two sons, Ronnie and Stewart, thought it was "a real big thing—mother getting into politics.” Washington’s electorate must have approved of the political mothers because the town kept “ladies only” in office until the 1970’s. As a result, according to Dorothy, Rappahannock's county seat earned its humorous nickname, “she-town.” Mrs. Hawkins was a neophyte in government when she first accepted her post as councilwoman. “To show how ignorant 1 was about the job, when they asked me to head the committee to take care of street light maintenance, I asked if I’d have to climb the poles and replace the bulbs myself.” Dorothy Hawkins learned from another Dorothy on the Washington Council—Mayor Davis. “She put a lot of time and effort into her job as mayor. She was always enthusiastic, interested and ready with a detailed agenda. When she entered our town hall, she was prepared to effect results. Her enthusiasm combined with the spirit of the rest of the council members really gave the town a face lift. “The council was like a family working together—there was no dissension," Dorothy recalled. She remembers with pride the achievements she helped initiate—the town’s street signs and its public (Continued on Page 3) —Rappahannock New* Photo/S.

She is the only original member of the “Petticoat Government” which took office in September 1950, when a lady mayor and all-womafn ' council swept into office. House Tour Features Modern And Colonial The 24th annual house tour and dried flower sale sponsored by the Episcopal Churchwomen of Rappahannock’s Bromfield Parish will be held Saturday and Sunday, October 18 and 19. Featured on this year’s tour are the homes of Jon B. Morgan, Mr. and Mrs. James J. Kilpatrick and Mr. and Mrs. David Brinkley. The Kilpatrick’s White Walnut Hill takes its name from White Walnut Run at the south end of their BESIDE THE COURTHOUSE MONUMENT at Washington, the alt-woman town council elected thirty years ago included, from left, Elizabeth Racer, Achsah Miller, Bobbi Cntzer, Dorothy Hawkins, Louise Price and Mayor Dorothy Davis. Council woman Ruby Jenkins was absent when the picture was token. PTA Wants Parents The Rappahannock PTA’s first meeting of the school year will be held Wednesday, October 1, at 7:30 p.m. in the elementary school. After a brief business session, a coffee hour will be held to welcome new and returning teachers. Parents of students in both the elementary school and Rappahannock County High School are urged to attend. This organization cannot function effectively without the involvement of concerned parents, emphasized PTA president Olga Fontaine. Last Day To Register Thursday, October 4, is the last day for registering to vote in the November presidential elections. The Rappahannock registrar's office in the court house will be open from 8:30 to 4:30 on that day. Homecoming Services The annual homecoming of the Flint Hill United Methodist Church will be held Sunday, September 28, at 11:15 a.m. with the Rev. Malcolm Maples as guest speaker. Nursery services will be provided and a pot-luck meal will follow the worship service. Rev. Maples served the Rappahannock Charge of the United Methodist Church from 1972 to 1977. He currently holds a pastorate at Mineral. property. Located in the beautiful rolling hills near Woodville at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the main house was designed by Floyd Johnson, AIA, of Charlottesville and built in 1969 by Arthur Griffith of Culpeper. The house is of contemporary design planned especially for easy maintenance and upkeep and is furnished with 18th and 19th century English and American antiques intermingled with antique wood carvings from Spain, Portugal and Italy. Paintings by Marie Pietri (Mrs. Kilpatrick) are displayed in the entrance and west galleries while a major piece of her sculpture is the focal point of the book-lined living room. Her studio, added to the house in 1976, retains the low stone wall that originally enclosed a small kitchen garden. Nationally syndicated columnist Jack Kilpatrick’s office was designed and built by Washington’s Peter Kramer in 1973 as an addition to the original Corbin cottage of 1924. The enclosed swimming pool, handsomely landscaped grounds and tennis area will be included in the tour. Brinkley Home The country home of Mr. and Mrs. David Brinkley nestles snugly in a grove of pine trees overlooking a tiny lake. The barn-board house. Market Closes For Season The Rappahannock Fanners! Market will close for the season this Saturday. September 27. Still available at the market will be green beans, lima beans, potatoes, apoles, canned goods and baked goods. It is anticipated that Saturday could also be the last for the. market at this location. Consensus of the vendors and interested parties is that the market should move into the town of Washington^ built in the mid-70s, has a traditional design adopted to gracious living in the '80s. The main living space with its large glass wall area takes advantage of the view overlooking the lake and surrounding forest. A combination snackbar and work counter slightly partitions the kitchen from the living space. This level of the house is partially surrounded on the outside by a spacious deck. A guest bedroom and bath complete the floor. On another level is the main sleeping area with large master bedroom, dressing area and bath. Across a hallway is the children’s bedroom and bath. A guest cottage, reached from the main house by a lighted pathway through the woods, is nearby. Millwood Millwood, circa 1839, ranks high with any of the restored early American homes in Virginia. Every detail of the extensive restoration and reconstruction was carefully and lovingly researched by Jon Morgan or copied exactly from the old wood work discovered during four years of rebuilding. Floors are original random-width boards polished to a high sheen which reflects the soft Colonial colors of the woodwork and paneling. Furnishings are primarily early American antiques, many of which have also been restored by the owner. An adjoining building houses Morgan’s collection of antique automobiles. Near the main house is an old log cabin, again restored by Morgan, which serves as the dressing area for the ultramodern blue tile swimming pool, an addition that gives Millwood a touch of modem countryiife in the 1980’s. On both tour days, tea will be served at Millwood from 2 until 5 p.m. P Trinity Church Trinity Episcopal Church, site of the house tour’s dried flower sale, was built in 1857 by James Leake Powers who served his apprenticeship State Sets Dog Pound Regulations By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer The newest state mandates handed down from Richmond have “gone to the dogs.” On Monday. September 22, the Virginia Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services in Richmond voted to adopt proposed “guidelines pertaining to a pound or enclosure to be maintained by each county or city.” The regulations call for: —water bowls secured in a fixed position or automatic watering device in each confinement area, —disposal of solid waste in compliance with local and state law, —kennel buildings and enclosures which give adequate protection against weather extremes for each animal with animals separated according to species, sex, age and temperament, —cages constructed of stainless steel, fiberglass, heavy galvanized metal, galvanized wire or their equivalent with solid bottoms, —primary enclosures big enough to allow each animal to turn freely and to easily stand, sit and lie in a comfortable position, —faucet and hose connections for cleaning the housing area with disinfectants or germicidal agents. In addition, the guidelines require a pound to be open to the public at reasonable hours during the week. Euthanasia must be performed in accordance with methods approved by the state veterinarian and unrefrigerated dead animals must be disposed of within 24 hours by burial, incineration or any other method acceptable to the Health Department. Also, the guidelines state that ill animals shall be confined in a special observation area for at least 24 hours before being placed in the primary enclosure. As part of the regulations, the Department of Agriculture agreed to develop "a fair and effective method for handling existing facilities that do not meet these guidelines.” This provision applies only to pounds constructed before January 1, 1981. $50 In 1959 Rappahannock’s dog impoundment facilities do not come close to meeting the state’s new guidelines. In 1959, the county supervisors provided approximately $50 worth of materials for construction of a wire pen at the county dog warden's property. Shelter consists of a dog house and boxes provided by the warden. Animals unclaimed after five days are shot and the bodies disposed of on the dog warden’s property. The new regulations governing pounds are “something that will be taken (Continued on Page 3) Pinafore Merits Third Performance The cast of H.M.S. Pinafore has agreed to extend the run of Gilbert and Sullivan's light-hearted operetta a third night in response to the sell-out of tickets for Friday and Saturday's shows. Tickets for the special engagement on Thursday, October 2 will be sold only at the box office of Mountain Magic Cinema on that evening. The box office will open at 7 p.m. with the curtain schedule to go up at 8 p.m. Since Thursday’s special presentation will not include the preperformance candlelight reception, tickets are S3 for adults and S2 for students. Friday’s and Saturday’s receptions on the lawn will begin at 7:30 with curtain time set for 8:30 p.m. If the weather refuses to cooperate, arrangements have been made to move the reception indoors.

The "country” Gothic design building was originally covered with board-andbatten siding. In the 1920s, the present pebble-dash finish was added. Trinity Episcopal is considered to be among the best reproductions of English village church architecture in the state. Also open again for the tour will be the Rappahannock County Library, circa 1853; Rappahannock County Historical Society Building, circa 1833; F. T. Valley Baptist Church, circa 1882 and Mt. Salem Baptist Church, circa 1824, a registered Virginia Historic Landmark. Dried flower arrangements will be sold at Trinity’s parish hall on both days of the tour. In addition. members of Washington’s First Baptist Church will serve box lunches on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets will be available at each of the tour houses and at Trinity parish hall. Block tickets are SS and single house admission is $2. Tax Break Available On Historic Restoration By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer As construction costs continue to soar with inflation, property owners in Washington, Virginia, can combat the economic crunch with a tax break from the federal government on expensive restoration efforts, thanks to the town’s designation as an historic district. John Capelle, executive director of the Rappahannock Rapidan Planning District Commission, discovered the tax break incentive while doing research for Culpeper’s proposed historic district. “It’s a shame not to make use of the benefits,” he remarked during an interview last week in which he explained the applicable provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1976. In essence, the act gives the owners of commercial or income producing property in an historic district the opportunity to make improvements and take an accelerated depreciation on their federal income tax, according to Capelle. “It’s a tax incentive for an owner of a business to rehabilitate his unit,” Capelle explained, emphasizing that the tax benefit doesn't apply to a residence unless the structure is an income-producing rental unit. The act allows an owner of a “certified historic structure” to deduct for federal 1 income tax purposes over a 60-month period the cost of “certified rehabilitation,” even if the expected life of the improvements exceeds 60 months, in lieu of otherwise allowable depreciation deductions. If the property qualifies as a “substantially rehabilitated historic property” the owner may depreciate the cost of renovation at a faster rate than otherwise allowable. In general, a “certified historic structure” is any structure located within an historic district. According to Capelle, the town of Washington is the Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District’s only certified historic area. He noted that the town of Upperville is also an histone district but lies half in Loudoun and half in Fauquier, one of the five PD9 counties. For individual properties to become “certified historic structures” for purposes of the Tax Reform Act, the owner must obtain an Historic Preservation Certification Application from the Virginia Historic Landmarks Commission, 221 Governor Street, Richmond, Va. 23219. The application requires name of owner, name and address of structure, name of historic district, current photographs of structure, brief description that includes mention of alterations, distinctive features and spaces and construction dates and a brief statement of historical and-or architectural significance. The state reviews the application and forwards it with a recommendation to the National Park Service ' within 45 days. Then the Park Service must within 30 days either grant a Certification of Significance or send the property owner a notice that the- structure is not historically significant. Use of the 60-month amortization deductions does not require a minimum amount spent in connection with certified rehabilitation. For a property to qualify as "substantially rehabilitated," however, renovation costs of the certified historic structure during a 24-month period must exceed $5,000 or the adjusted basis of the property. (Adjusted basis refers generally to the owner's initial cost of the property plus the cost of improvements as of that date less amounts allowed as depreciation.) Local Tax Incentive In addition to local benefits from the Tax Reform Act of 1976, Capelle noted that Virginia enabling legislation allows counties to confer what he described as essentially use value taxation for historic buildings. The planning district director explained that the (Continued on Page 3)

Bolen, Commissioner of Parks, says the overall 1980 summer attendance at Virginia State Parks rose by more than 350.000 compared to the same period the previous year. Also more people visited the Parks over the four-day Labor Day weekend than in 1979. “Increased visitation at some parks by guests from neighboring states also contributed to the rise," said Bolen. During the summer season, a wide assortment of informative and entertaining activities complement traditional park offerings. Visitor Centers host nature and history exhibits and Park interpreters present evening talks and conduct guided walking tours during the day. Recently opened York River State Park in the Williamsburg area and popular Seashore State Park in the City of Virginia Beach will continue to welcome guests at their Visitor Centers throughout the year.

Numbers Down At Cattle Sale Area cattle producers consigned considerably fewer than the expected number of calves and yearlings to the first fall Page, Rappahannock and Warren Sale held Tuesday afternoon, September 16. Less than 300 head of cattle were available for buyers from Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. The 291 head sold brought a total of $127,461.54 for $438.01 per head, with 229 steers averaging $463.72. The top selling pen was a group of six medium frame Charolais steers weighing 650 pounds and selling for $80 per hundred.

The product allows hunters to adjust the shell capacity of tube-fed shotguns in the Field. Clark R. Bavin, Chief of the Service’s Division of Law Enforcement, announced that migratory bird hunters found using adjustable plugs for tube-fed shotguns may be subject to prosecution. In the opinion of the Service, use of the plugs is a violation of 50 CFR 20.21 (b), which makes it illegal to hunt migratory birds "which a shotgun of any description capable of holding more than three shells, unless it is plugged with a one-piece filler, incapable of removal without disassembling the gun, so its total capacity does not exceed three shells.” Federal regulations allow only shotguns with a capacity of three or fewer shells to be used in hunting migratory^ birds. The purpose of this regulation is to reduce the potential overbagging and crippling losses. "The regulation ensures that it is difficult and time consuming in the field to convert a shotgun from more than a three-shell capacity to a three-shell capacity and vice-versa,” Bavin said. “In the opinion of the Service, the new products violate both the terms and the purpose of this regulation in that they are two-piece devices and allow instantaneous conversion from five to three shells without disassembling the gun.” Cancelled The Rappahannock Athletic Association’s fun day scheduled for this Saturday, September 11, has been cancelled due to lack of interest from parents.

Dorothy Hawkins, Councilwoman Continued from Page 1) playground. Dorothy brought up the street signs during Mayor Davis’s last month at the helm. “We were the only incorporated town I knew of without signs," she noted. When she pointed that out to her fellow town officials, “Mayor Davis and the rest of the council thought it was a grand idea.” Then Washington's lady mayor had to resign when a move to their new home took the family past the town limits. Peter Kramer, furniture and cabinet maker, was appointed to fill the vacancy. He’s such a wonderful craftsman! He came up with an excellent design,” Dorothy said, adding that she still hears visitors remark on how quaint and attractive the street signs are, how perfectly they fit the character of the town. The idea for a town playground struck her when she noticed how limited Washington’s recreational opportunities were for children. Dorothy proposed the council support a playground and through the efforts of Ruby Jenkins, donations of “swings and things" were solicited. Arthur Miller, owner of the post office lot, agreed to let the town use the land as long as the grass was kept mowed and the equipment maintained. Mayor Kramer added more equipment during his term, including a big sandbox, Dorothy noted. “And it is used by the children. It’s nice to have something like that to go to.” Town Progress Dorothy Hawkins has seen changes in Washington. “I can remember when there was a hitching post and livery stable and hog pens in the middle of town! I’ve seen a real transformation over the years." There are a few more changes she wants and some that she hopes will never come. Mrs. Hawkins rr,TTT7,1VT . —Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham x HEN AND NOW—Dorothy Hawkins, left, as she appeared when elected to the Washington Town Council in 1950 and the present day Dorothy Hawkins at work in the Washington Post Office. She is certainly “holding her own. ” acknowledged that the town needs an improved water system but, she was quick to note, the current council is taking steps in this direction. And while she wants Washington to keep its “quaint nature” and remain “the nice rural town it is,” she sees a sewer system lying somewhere in the near future. “Ten years before 1950, if you had said Washington would have an all-woman government, nobody would have believ.ed you. It’s the same with saying now that we’ll need a sewer system of some kind. Nobody believes it but that day will come too,” she maintained. Dorothy jokingly added that she'd be ready to resign from the council on the day the town’s sewer problems are resolved. “No," she added in a more serious vein. “I’ll probably keep on running as long as I can be of help. I think we’re obligated to serve in our communities as long as we’re able to get things accomplished.” USED FARM MACHINERY t • 354-Farmall Gas - Fully Equipped • * A . , , 1 - 5300 D - Fully Equipped 1 • Oliver Super 55 with ind.

She’s ever prouder of the example they set for others. "We inspired women in surrounding counties to get involved. Not long after the elections here, Winchester had women in county government. Dorothy is a strong believer in the natural fitness of women to govern. ‘‘Women are really much stronger than men. Men are supportive of new ideas but women are more aggressive. I’m not a woman’s libber—some of my best friends are men—but I really believe that our country will never be in good shape until we have a woman president. Men are capable but they do need the help of women. “We need more woiften in Congress too,” Dorothy continued. “After all, a president can only accomplish so much without the support of Congress. I’m all for women becoming more active in government—small town, city and national.” Make Park Reservations Fall leaf colors usually attract large crowds to Shenandoah National Park facilities. “These autumn visitors who plan to camp in Big Meadows Campground can beat the crowds and reserve a campsite in advance.” says Robert R. Jacobsen, Superintendent of the Park. Advance reservations for nights through October 31 may be made in person at any Ticketron outlet or in Shenandoah National Park at Park Headquarters or Big Meadows Campground. For the location of the nearest outlet or for mail-in order blank information, call (703) 999-2282. “On peak color weekends, lodges and campgrounds are Filled to capacity, and Park visitors often experience difficulty in obtaining a place to stay. Anxiety can be avoided and the trip made more enjoyable by knowing a campsite has been reserved," added Superintendent Jacobsen. In case Big Meadows Campground is fully New Sales Associate Eileen M.

He explained that localities like, Rappahannock with dbg impoundment facilities which do not comply with the guidelines will be given one budget-making process to include funds for upgrading. “If the fundr are not appropriated, w. will be looking very closely at those localities,” Vaughn said. He added that for enforcement of the regulations, the Department of Agriculture will be “working with commonwealth’s attorneys, etc.” According to Vaughn, the Department of Agriculture will send a representative upon request to advise boards of supervisors on technical requirements of the new pound regulations. He noted that plans and blueprints are available for a $17,000 impoundment facility which will meet all state specifications. In addition, he said, there is nothing in the guidelines to preclude two or more counties from operating a shared dog pound. Vaughn emphasized repeatedly that the Department of Agriculture wants to cooperate with localities to avoid an unreasonable tax burden but only as long as local government shows “good faith” in making progress on compliance. “Rappahannock is not the only county without any facilities,” he said, noting that Nittingham County provides only a rope and a field to tie up stray dogs. According to chairman E. P. Luke, the Rappahannock supervisors have not yet received a copy of the final guidelines on pounds and have no plans yet for upgrading Rappahannock's facilities.

Summer Hiring Open Now For Nat’l Park Each summer a limited number of temporary employees are hired by Shenandoah National Park and other National Park Service areas to work in jobs such as collecting fees at entrance stations, road and campground patrols, and interpretation of area resources. “It should be noted”, said Superintendent Robert R. Jacobsen of Shenandoah National Park, “that applications for all of these positions must be received between Sept. 1, 1980 and January 15, 1981.” To qualify for these positions, a person must be at least 18 years old or be a high school graduate, and be in good physical condition. Employees involved in law enforcement duties must be at least 21 years of age. Applicants for summer positions should contact either the Personnel Office at Shenandoah National Park or the Seasonal Employment Unit, National Park Service, 18th & C Streets N.W., Attic Needs Insulation BLACKSBURG—When your roof is heated by the sun, your attic can be as much as 40 degrees hotter than the temperature of outside air. During the summer months, this almost certainly will mean an attic temperature well over 100 degrees. According to Jerome R. Smith, Extension agricultural engineering specialist at Virginia Tech, there are two main ways of lowering this extreme temperature. "Insulation is the best means of shielding your living quarters from this oven," Smith said, “but if insulation is impossible to install in your under-roof space, consider the use of an attic fan.” The attic temperature can be greatly reduced - and the heat flow into your home reduced by more than half - by drawing outdoor air through the attic space. The decision of whether to use an attic fan will depend on the ease of installing insulation below the attic space. 11 the ceiling is well insulated (with 4-6 inches of insulation) the heat flow is small and any further reduction by attic ventilation would be meaningless. But if your ceiling is not well insulated and cannot be improved because of inaccessibility, fan ventilation can be an effective and economically justified way of reducing downward heat flow,” Smith said. The fan, which needs to move air at a rate of only about one cubic foot per minute per square foot of ceiling area, should be mounted so as to exhaust air from high in the attic where temperatures are the hottest. It can be governed by a thermostat located where it will turn the fan on when the air temperature near the fan reaches 110 degrees or so. ‘‘In some cases, it is possible to reduce the numoer ot hours ot air conditioner operation by drawing outdoor air (when it is cool enough) through the house by use of an attic ventilating fan," Smith said. This would involve opening the normally tightly-closed attic door or pull-down stairway to allow the air to be drawn into the attic. Room 2229, Washington, D.C. 20240.

Tax Break (Continued from Page 1) enabling legislation permits a locality to pass an ordinance granting individual property owners a lower assessed value on restored historic buildings. To date, he noted, only the city of Richmond has followed up on this local option. According to Capelle, the legislation is designed as an incentive to encourage historic preservation. Landowners often let structures fall into ruin because once they’ve expended money for restoration, their appraisals—and local property taxes—double, triple or even quaduple, he said. If a local ordinance is passed allowing for differentiated assessments on historic structures, Capelle said, appraisals generally stay at the prerestoration level for qualifying units. He added that a locality can set up its own criteria on eligibility for differentiated historic assessments. He described the two-fold approach with incentives under the Tax Reform Act of 1976 and differentiated assessments on restored historic properties as "licking both sides of the lollypop” for federal and local taxes. VI yisir ^INIAI s' PARKS NATURAL ADVENTURE CLOSE TO HOME Labor Day Death Toll Up Contrary to a recent trend that indicated holiday weekends in Virginia were becoming no more dangerous to motorists in terms of fatalities than any other weekend, 23 persons lost their lives in highway crashes over the Labor Day weekend according to preliminary State Police statistics. The 23 deaths represent the highest number of weekend deaths since the Thanksgiving Day holiday of 1978. Historically, more motorists have been killed on Labor Day weekends than any other major holiday weekend which includes Memorial Day, July 4, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. During the 1970s, 183 persons were killed over the three-day Labor Day weekend compared to 173 killed over the four-day Thanksgiving Day weekend. In an attempt to reduce major holiday highway crashes and the resulting injuries and deaths, the Virginia State Police have been participating for the past several years in a special selective enforcement program known nationally as Operation C.A;R.E. during the Memorial Day, July 4 and Labor Day weekends. C.A.R.E. is an acronym for Combirred Accident Reduction Effort. The C.A.R.E. program in Virginia means increasing the number. of troopers available to patrol major highways through their volunteering to work overtime and days off. The increased visibility of the troopers is designed to encourage compliance with the State’s motor vehicle laws. During the recent Labor Day weekend. State Troopers reported a total of 6,069 summonses and arrests. These included 4,683 for speeding, 212 for reckless driving, 71 drunk driving and 1,103 for other hazardous violations. In addition, troopers provided assistance to more than 3,050 distressed or stranded motorists. The Mountaineer Fireplace Insert Heats 2,500 sq. feet Scott’s Hardware 401 E.

Thus, the pointed question: Under normal lending conditions, when does a person become too old to buy a home and obtain a mortgage? With certain reservations. . . never! If the real estate equity^, is there and the ability to repay is established, what is the difference if a person is 30 or 70 years of age? Each case, however, must be judged on its individual merits. A survey of loans by one major Savings and Loan Association revealed that 25 per cent of its recent mortgages were granted to families headed by a person 50 or older. One loan was granted to a man older than 75. As mentioned before, the economic age of the property, its resale value, and the borrower’s ability to repay the loan are far more important than age alone. + + + If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1980 Tie Breaker As of October 1, changes in school board law mandated by Virginia’s general assembly will take effect. The revisions called for by the state legislature will have impact in two areas that we know of here. The first is that the school board will no longer be able to delay a due-process hearing past a new 10-dav deadline for discipline cases involving a student’s suspension. The second is that the board of supervisors must appoint a tie-breaker for the school board. In the past, this position has been filed for all county governing bodies by Sperryville attorney James William Fletcher, an individual who has attended only a handful of school board meetings during the past five years. When called upon last spring to cast the deciding aye or nay for purchase of a modular unit for the elementary school, Fletcher acknowledged his unfamiliarity with school issues and asked for 30 days to review the pros and cons—30 days allowed by the Code but 30 days that would have put the budget decision past the deadline set by the supervisors. The school board needs someone knowledgeable on educational issues, up to date on recent General Assembly mandates and with first-hand awareness of the special problems existing in Rappahannock schools as its tie-breaker. We propose that former teacher and elementary school principal Mary Botts Quaintance be named. She has attended every regular session and most special meetings of the school board for at least the past six years. She's certainly knowledgeable and, more importantly, concerned about Rappahannock’s public school system and the county’s chifdren. If she will accept, there’s no one any better suited for the job. The requirement for a tie breaker takes effect a few days before the supervisors’ monthly meeting in October. We suggest they act promptly on this state mandate and appoint Mary Botts Quaintance as school board tie-breaker. Letters To The Editor False Witness To the editor: "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." Ninth Commandment of Almighty God. "He that filches from me my good name robs me of that which not enriches him. but makes me poor indeed" Shakespeare. Othello. Upon reading the front page article "Luck attacks School Board" in the September 11 issue of this newspaper. I called the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors who confirmed to me that (1) the News had reported his accusations correctly and (2) the particular School Board member whom he publicly attacked in the Court House was this writer. 1 have never “summarily walked into classes” nor have 1 ever "voiced criticism of teachers and their instructional methods in front of students". My 13 day visitation last January to every classroom (the first time to my personal knowledge, any School Board member had done it) had the prior concurrence of the full Board and the Superintendent. I asked for their concurrence out of courtesy, not because the law requires it. I reported in to the Principals' offices each morning because policy does require this; we do not want unreported strangers walking around schools. Luke accuses me of not upholding the Constitution of Virginia and her laws and of violating my oath to do so. Like Julius Caesar, I declare. “This was the most unkindest cut of all” and the most irresponsioie. 1 carry with me in my briefcase to every School Board meeting the Virginia School Laws (including relevant excerpts from our Constitution), the manual of the Virginia School Board Association, our own policy manual, and Roberts Rules of Order governing the conduct of our meetings. And 1 am familiar with what 1 carry. When anyone tries to ram down the collective throats of our School Board a capricious and arbitrary interpretation of the General Assembly’s 12 Standards of Quality, I have demanded and shall continue to demand in such cases that the process established in law be followed. This process is provided in Standard of Quality 12, D-4 enacted by the General Assembly. If followed it would result in a writ of mandamus laid on our Board table by a circuit court judge - should the State Board of. Education, the Attorney General, and the judge all agree our Board is wrong. Then we know what "mandates" we must obey; then we know what the law is or is not. Not what every Tom. Dick, and Harry says it is. And I have always added what Luke did not in quoting me: “and this Member at that moment will vote that this Board obey the law”. I emphasize that I only invoke 12. D4 when the socalled "mandate’’ is preposterous on the face of it and the Administration is unable to provide the authority for it. For example, the Board ordered the Administration to divide a "’60 square foot classroom which contained only 5 children. The current administration at first refused, claiming such action could not be taken under the "mandates” of "the law". I invoked 12, D4. Faced with that, the Administration and the third-echelon bureaucrats in Richmond discovered all ot a sudden that it wasn t unlawful after all and the room has now been divided. The General Assembly has approved 12 Standards of Quality for Virginia Schools. The General Assembly has provided that these 12 shall be “the only standards of quality required by Section 2 of Article VIII of the Constitution of Virginia”. I support and shall continue to support all 12. When I came on the Board, the current Administration had done nothing and was doing nothing about SOQ No. 5 (Gifted and Talented Program), the most important of all, in my opinion, next to No. 1 (the basics of verbal and mathematical skills). The purpose of No. 5 is to identify and fully utygiup me jjuicniidi ui future leaders of our County and Commonwealth. This member insisted that we obey the law and get at it. As a result we have started this school year with a Gifted and Talented program - not what we shall eventually have but at least a start. And the man insinuates that 1 “don’t like the law” and don’t want to honor my oath to support it! Luke complains about the “massive turnover of teachers”. It has been approximately 30 per cent each year, similar to that of other counties. The “turnover” on the Rappahannock County School Board has been 60 per cent in the past five months (3 out of 5 members). Mrs. Massie and I are the only members with more than 4 months experience on the Board and I have been on the Board only 15 months. No School Board can operate and plan effectively under these conditions. We cannot get and retain on the School Board competent, hard working citizens if they know they are to be subjected to intemperate and false personal attacks by even our county officials. In my letters in these columns concerning the Referendum I warned against the introduction of politics into the Schools. It has already arrived and everyone can see the result. I urged everyone involved not to play politics with the school children anymore and I urge this first upon the present Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. ROBERT W. EASTHAM Fallacy? To the editor: At the risk of beating a horse that appears to have died, I must point out the fallacy in your editorial last week justifying the secret negotiations that led to the swap of the Washington firehouse for the Methodist church. You state. “The (secrecy) provision is for the protection of the people since notice of local government interest in land generally serves to drive the price up, demanding more of the taxpayers' dollars.” But the party that “drive(s) the price up” is the seller of the property, not the taxpayers. The only reason for secrecy is to keep the town’s interest away from the seller. When the seller of the property is already involved in the negotiations with the town, there is no purpose to be served by keeping those negotiations secret from the taxpayers. II there 1$ ever a justification for secrecy, it ceases when the seller becomes aware of the town’s interest, and at that point the town should have told the taxpayers what it was planning to do witn our money. It may be that the town got the best of the deal, although no one will really know until the town gets finished paying for the necessary movement of the firehouse siren. But that is beside the point. Public business should be conducted in the public eye. The secrecy surrounding the church-firehouse swap is an unfortunate mistake that should not be allowed to repeat itself.

Latham Our Rappahannock Heritage Three Days At Dolly Sods By LYT WOOD Rappahannock >rw» Special U rilcr “Welcome to Wild, Wonderful West Virginia." Tom. Ali, and 1 were travelling to Dolly Sods, and this was the sign that we noticed atop North Mountain as we crossed the state line. And we weren’t disappointed—Dolly Sods is really Wild and Wonderful, and very different from any place we had seen before. The area known as Dolly Sods includes about 24,240 acres of the Monongahela National Forest and 7,680 acres of private land, located along the Allegheny Front in northeastern West Virginia. Ours was a three-day trip, in August this year. The extensive high mountain meadows—at once rocky and boggy—are called "sods.” Once they were heavily forested with dense, dark stands of red spruce. Once they provided habitat for big American mammals, probably including cougars and elk. The history of Dolly Sods includes clearcutting, grazing, and gurning. Surely the virgin forests, predominantly spruce, were magnificent before the exploitative logging. Years ago. the sods provided summer pasture for sheep and cattle. Among the families who farmed the area were German pioneers named Dolly.

Box 372, Front Royal, Va.. 22630. are scattered among the boulders—evidence of extensive fires. Some of the burning was accidental, as an escaped fire started by Confederates,during the Civil War. Repeated intentional burning, for pasture and even for blueberry habitat improvement, has had considerable impact. Given time, most sites will revert to a forested condition, and will at least partially recover from catastrophes as fire and logging. Why then are the sods still relatively open? The answer is not simple. Undoubtedly, a number of ecological factors are responsible: beaver activity, for example, and the intrinsic persistence of certain lowgrowing plant species. Some of the sods are still lightly grazed. But the greatest factor affecting such long-lasting openness on such vast areas has been fire. The organic soil, once ignited, smoldered persistently. Gound fires sometimes burned to depths reaching bedrock, and expanses reaching tens of thousands of acres. On this parched soil, the native flora have been slow to recover. Many of the accompanying fauna will never return. Future of the Sods The successional processes have been slow on the Dolly Sods. Even so, the idea of vast and beautiful spruce forests, approaching maturity within the next half-century, is tenable. There is, however, the threat of even greater disturbances than fire, the effects of which would be even more permanent and devastating. These dangers are brought on by the same assets, the very richness, that make the Dolly Sods so unique and valuable. There is scenery, and there are potential vacation homesites, and proposed skyline highway routes. There is timber—planted red pines and red spruce, and native hardwoods—some of which is marketable. There is watershed, and altitude, and a potential site for a hydroelectric reservoir. And there is organic matter—black, buried, compressed, ages old. This storehouse of energy is mineable and could, for a time, help to feed a coal-fired Virginia Electric and Power Company plant, just ten miles away. These are reasons for development and exploitation. There are also reasons for protection and nurture. Practical ones are watershed protection, economic value of recreation, important scientific study, etc. The greatest reasons, though. cannot be enumerated. Hiking in Dolly Sods We shouldered our packs and walked west on the "Blackbird Knob” trail. A* first, the trail was very laccommodating—we were walking on wooden ties! But the quality of the trail soon degraded. It became uneven and wet, following drainages. At times, we walked through flowing water several inches deep. The trail was flanked by impenetrable shrubby growth, so we had no choice but to follow it. The weather was stormy, the bushes were wet, and to cross Red Creek, we had to wade through swift water, knee-deep. Our pack-in, though, was only a couple of miles, and the scenery and sensations were marvelous. We walked through polesized red pines, forced our way through dense stands of speckled alder, and breathed in the clean, moist air, scented with spruce and wet mosses. The short ascent up Blackbird Knob provided rewarding vistas over the sods. We passed through a shadowy, ferny beech copse, then crossed a wide meadow. We set up camp on a knoll, surrounded by scraggly quaking aspen, short American beech, and a wonderful overlook of the Red Creek watershed. Wet and tired, and unsheltered from the gusty wind, we were somewhat chilled after supper, and sought the warmth of our sleeping bags while it was still twilight. A tent was set up in case of rain, but we slept in the open. Sleep that night was sporadic. We were awake at sunup, but lulled by the soft, dreamy songs of hermit thrushes drifting up from the dark copses. The wind was snn strong ana incessant. Breakfast was coffee and cornmeal pancakes, the batter containing a generous handful of wild blueberries. This was Saturday, the day of our main hike. Our destination was the Cabin Mountain ridge, via a meander along a Red Creek tributary. The terrain was open and not too steep, but walking was tiring. The wet soil of the sods sucked at our feet. Drier areas were interspersed, but there were rocks and unyielding woody growth to trip us up. Too, progress was slowed by frequent stops to study an unfamiliar plant, identify a raptor or sparrow, or watch a far-off deer herd. This area was truly a paradise for whitetail deer.

Deer, bear and turkey legally killed during the 1980 hunting season, west of the Blue Ridge in Virginia, are eligible for Western Regional Awards. Deer and bear winners will be eligible for the Virginia State Contest in competition with the Eastern Regional winners. Resident or non-resident sportsmen having trophies taken this past season may enter them in the contest. There is no entry fee. No advance entry forms are required, just bring the trophy to the Harrisonburg Auto Auction Building Friday or before noon on Saturday. Entries must be submitted no later than noon, October 25, to be eligible. All entries must be accompanied by the State Big Game Tag. (Proof of kill). There will be four classes for deer entries, including one of the bow hunters: Class One (9-points or better), Class Two (7 and 8-points), Class Three (6-points or less), and Class Four (Archery). The trophy may be mounted head or merely a rack of antlers. The antlers must be attached to the skull. The taxidermist’s skill or mounting is not taken into consideration as only the antlers are scored. The judging and scoring is under the direction of Max Carpenter, District Game Biologist for the Virginia Game Commission. Bear entries will be accepted and scored for the Western Regional and State Contest. For measurements and comparison, only the skull need be submitted. Turkey Toms, legally killed west of the Blue Ridge during the past season will be considered for a Western Regional Award. Measurements of the tail, wing and beard will be the determining factor. The public is invited to view the collections of trophies that will be on Exhibit Friday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. There is no admission charge. As in the past, only the top five winners of the Regional Contest in each class will be eligible for entry to compete in the State Finals. The top five winners in each class in each Regional Contest must be physically present at the State Finals Contest to be considered for placement on State Winners List.

Tuesday. He joked that he made the trip to show what you can do without meat. Cyclist Made It On Veggies Only By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock M™ Staff Writer When John O'Grady left for Washington. D.C. to do research for his honors thesis, he wasn't pressed for time. A lucky thing since the trip took over a month as O’Grady pedaled his way through tornadoes in Kansas and Missouri. 120 degree temperatures in the Utah and Nevada deserts and a snow storm in the Rockies to reach Washington. Virginia, this past Tuesday. A senior history major at the University of California, O’Grady chose to bicycle to his research sources in D.C. because he felt he needed a vacation. “1 really needed a vacation,” he emphasized. “And I don’t believe in cars. I don't have one and I like to avoid them whenever possible.” In addition, he said, the exercise, fresh air, open spaces and adventure of a bike trip across the country appealed to him. “It’s a real adventure. You never know what’s around the next bend," he explained. According to O’Grady, he didn’t follow any special training program to get himself ready for the trek. “I’m always training for something.” he said, adding that he ran in the San Francisco Marathon just a few weeks before he left. “And I rode my bike around a couple of weeks." During the journey, he camped out. stringing his tarp up for shelter. O’Grady reported that he covered around 70 to 75 miles per day since leaving California on August 19. “Sometimes I got as many as 120 miles but it depended on the winds and the hills,” he noted. Although he had more than a dozen flats and wore out three tires, his biggest problem on the trip wasn’t equipment breakdowns. Maintaining the proper diet was the Californian’s major obstacle. O’Grady, a vegetarian for five years, found that eating sugar slowed him down considerably. “We call it white death and don’t allow it in the house," he said. He was astonished—a pleasant surprise—to learn that rural Rappahannock has a health food store and restaurant. "My biggest problem was that health food stores were too far apart.” he concluded.

Brownies Explore The Great Outdoors On September 20 and 21, Brownie Troop 955 of Castleton held an overnight campout, a first for the troop and a first also for any Rappahannock Brownies. Traditionally, Brownies don’t camp until they’re ready to “fly up” to junior girl scouting, but four years ago, tradition gave way to the new ‘‘worlds to explore” Brownie program. Last weekend, Troop 955 began exploring the world close to home on an overnight camping trip on the adjoining properties of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Rustic and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Helmer in Castleton. The weather was exceptional for outdoor activities which centered around learning to march in formation and perfecting flag ceremony skills. Other events included a mile hike to Janathan Run where the girls ate lunch and enjoyed wading in the creek. The Brownies also assisted cook Eric Rustic in preparing dinner, giving special attention to the raised rolls. After dinner, the youngsters marched to their campsite, sat around a huge bonfire prepared by Richard Helmer, listened to “A Tale of Yajar” narrated by Pat Helmer and marveled over the fireworks display set off by Dick Rustic. Cadet Debbie Helmer accompanied the troop on the weekend outing and helped implement the special programs. There is still room for five more girls in Troop 955. Interested parents can call leaders Caroline Man waring at 987-8433 or Marybeth Rustic at 987-8726. BROWNIE CAMPERS Darleane Dodson, Cheryl Gheen, Cathy Hawkins, in rear with flags; Cadet Debbie Helmer and Brownies Misty Baldwin, Lisa Manwaring, Billie Lee Ballard and Michelle Raynor, from left, front, practiced flag ceremonies at last week’s cam pout.

Wednesday, September 17, the Lady Panthers had a home game with Manassas Park. Those of you who attended the game may have been surprised to see the Lady Panthers in “new” uniforms. The blue uniform crisis (both schools had the same colors) was easily remedied by borrowing and altering the guys’ basketball tops and the shorts were those of the girls’ track team. Thanks to fast thinking and ingenuity, the RCHS girls were able to keep their appointment and Rappahannock defeated the Cougars 59-41. Junior Gass officers have been elected and the presiding officers for the year are: Carolyn Butler, president; Kelly Gilkey, vice president; Lori Frye, secretary; Sharon Scott, treasurer; Sponsors for that class are Mr. Von Fange, Mr. Kimble and Ms. Stevens. Candy bars will be sold by the Juniors as their first fund raising project toward the prom. The FHA (Future Homemakers of America) Gub at RCHS held its first meeting on September 22 when two guest speakers were heard. Mrs. Darlene Moore of The Beauty Box in Washington discussed the “Future Healthy America” Panthers Finish First The Rappahannock Boys Cross Country team scored a total of 197 points at Saturday’s Eastern Mennonite Invitational, finishing on top among all other Skyline District schools competing and seventh overall out of 15 teams. The Panthers were led by Ron Dougherty (31st), Scott Keithley (36th), Craig Kenyon (41st), Jimmy Tomko (47th) and Don Dougherty (54th). Other Rappahannock runners were David Dodson (72nd) and Michael Tomko (80th). The the girls’ division, Ann Thomas took third place overall with a time of 19:41 behind Marcella McCue of Spotswood (18:08) and Patricia Carson from Robert E. Lee (18:48). Team results placed the Lady Panthers sixth with 145 points. Other members of the girls team in their order of finish were Ronda Wiley, Sheila Scott, Sharon Scott and Jona McKay. Films in Review "Clark Gable was the kina of an empire called Hollywood." Joan Crawford once said ' The empire is not what it was. but the King has never been dethroned, even after his death " The amazing charisma of Gable still survives nearly 20 years after his passing and 40 years after his most famous film. Gone With the Wind. The unforgettable, classic, embodying all the grandeur that was Hollywood in the thirties, will feature at Mountain Magic Cinema at Washington this weekend at 6:30 P M . Friday - Sunday nights. Gone With the Wind marked the pinnacle of Gable's career, and it is possible that author Margaret Mitchell had Gable himself in mind when she created the character of Rhett Butler in the book Certainly his screen persona and the Butler rote were perfectly matched, and producer David Selznick delayed shooting the film for two years in order to secure Gable's services Vivien Leigh serves as a perfect romantic foil to Gable She evokes with the Scarlett O Hara role a seemingly unsympathetic but actually mesmerizing personality—an unscrupulous, wily, kittenish beauty who uses sexual attraction to get her own way Mountain Magic Cinema wHI serve delicious sandwiches, cider and cold drinks coffee, and lots of hot buttered popcorn before Gone With the Wind and during the intermission, so that patrons will have plenty ot energy tor viewing this epic. 3 Vi hour-long masterpiece A second memorable classic features as the Mountain Magic matinee, at 1 PM on Saturday and Sunday In National Vehret (1945). Mickey Rooney is a bubbling lad who matures into a young man with a purpose after helping a young girl (Elizabeth Taylor) win the Grand National Steeplechase - __ while Mrs. Doris Donald, a retired secretary working for the federal government spoke on “Jobs and Careers.” Officers of this organization are Wanda Campbell, president; Tammy Atkins, vice president; Belinda Burke, secretary; Lisa Kellison, treasurer; and DeeDee Grant, reporter. Mrs. Betty Wood is sponsor of the Rappahannock FHA chapter. Scouts At State Fair Junior Girl Scouts from Troop 380 had a marvelous time at the State Fair in Richmond last weekend, according to a spokesman for the group. Two Senior Girl Scouts, Wendy Helmer and Susan Dennis, accompanied 17 girls and six adults on the two-night camping trip. They left Friday afternoon and camped out at Pocahontas State Park. Saturday at the fair the girls saw a delightful marionette show and a circus. Some enjoyed rides and games on the midway while others watched the#t-H horse show and met Girl Scouts from the Tidewater Council. They also saw pigeons and sheep being judged and toured the milking parlor. Girls attending were Tammy Williams, Bick and Gaire Roemer, Nikki David, Nicole Frye, Heather Kilpatrick, Gaby Lee, Robin Menefee, Talushia Adams, Elizabeth Scherschel, Elizabeth Jenkins, Theresa DelGrosso, Angie Barbour.

Artmobile Explains ‘Secrets’ of Arts The Virginia Museum Artmobile will be in Warrenton Oct. 6 through 9 with an exhibition designed to unlock the “secrets” of art. “Secrets” is an exibition that attempts to explain that all art communicates, both directly and symoblically. A variety of art objects, sculpture, paintings, and even a slide presentation on the art of the mime, is included. The Artmobile will be at Fauquier High School and will be open Monday and Tuesday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. On Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 8 and 9, it will be open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the shopping center. The visit is sponsored by the Fauquier Chapter of the Virginia Museum. Christmas Comes To Middleburg The leaves will be at their finest, the horses will be racing, and the 31st annual Christmas Shop will be underway in Middleburg on the weekend of Oct. 11. Merchants from as far away as Vermont and Chicago will bring their wares to the Emmanuel Episcopal Parish House for the Christmas Shop. Hours will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Oct. 9, 10, and 11. Mrs. Laurence Achilles Jr., is chairman. Visit To Dolly Sods= (Continued from Page 4) were constantly scattering a herd, flushing a fawn, or hearing indignant snorts of alarm from a thicket. Delicate Marshland Plants “Tread lightly,” 1 thought to myself when walking on the rocky, mossy marshes. Tom, a sharp-eyed botanist, pointed out numerous delicate, beautiful marshland plants. There were sundews—tiny, red, glistening, carniverous. There were lilies, orchids, cranberries, and narrow-leaved cattails. In one of these bogs, there were two smooth greensnakes, which Tom spotted and Ali photographed. Cabin Mountain is a long ridge, the western boundary of Dolly Sods. We picked enough blueberries to supplement our lunch sandwiches, and ate while sitting on a sandstone boulder, looking west across the Canaan Valley. High and to the west, in the haze, we spotted a great blue heron, soaring in tight circles like a hawk, legs dangling behind. Ravens frequently greeted us with their low, gutteral squawks.

Royal too* Front Roynl, Virginia 22630 We saw twelve in one bunch. We followed the ridgecrest, hopping among the unusual sandstone-conglomerate formations. Continuing south to a small gap, we found a spring that flowed down an old jeep trail, and drank. Our faces and arms were red, burned by the ever-present wind and blazing mountain sun. (The altitude was ca. 4000 feet.) Except for occasional deep bogs, the jeep trail made for easy walking. It angled down and across the rolling hills, and ended abruptly at an intermittent creek. From there, we headed towards Blackbird Knob, admiring the work of beavers all along the way. Some beaver ponds were active; most were abandoned; One small drainage had eleven recently constructed ponds in close succession. The upper one had a grass and earthen dam, and was less than four feet wide! In a larger pond, we saw one beaver, bobbing in the water near its hemispherical lodge. Foot-weary, sunburned and windbumed, we reached our heavenly campsite. Dinner was potatoes, onions, and sausage. (Blueberries for dessert.) We talked about the day’s experiences, and planned our route back to the road. Sleep was again intermittent the second night. The wind will still strong, swishing across the knoll. Once, 1 awoke to a blazing quarter-moon, and lay awake watching the clouds zip past the stars and planets. Much later, there was a flash thunderstorm. Awakended by a few drops, I saw a wondrous cloudburst sweeping across the valley below. The three of us scrambled and crowded into our “emergency” tent, thankful for temporary shelter. Morning, we slept past sunup. After a short ramble through beech copses (for thrush identification) and breakfast, we packed and headed east, walking towards the sun, with dark protean rainclouds behind us. Soon we reached Red Creek. The water was darkly tea-colored (and incidentally quite palatable and safe); but we couldn’t see the bottom. There, just upstream, was a beaver dam. We gingerly picked our way across, and looked back towards our campsite. We saw the rain sweeping towards us, and a rainbow. A thick, arching shrub provided partial shelter, from which we watched the storm. In a moment, the rain stopped as suddently as it had begun. Drenched, we marched on to Alder Run, followed it upstream, crossed it, then bushwhacked — as expected—through tangles of alders, brambles, and closely planted spruce. At last, we reached the Blackbird Knob trail, and followed it back to the car, and lunch. We had a half-day left, and drove north for a short walk to Bear Rocks. We explored the jumble of giant -windformed sandstones, and peered from Allegheny Front down the slope to Jordan Run. This was a place that early explorers had described as being heavily forested, except for strips of “huckleberry plains" along the ridgetops. Now the blueberry Fields are truly expansive. And they are bountiful. We picked blueberries by the handfuls. Some individual clusters yielded over two dozen ripe berries. We circled through the huckleberry plains, back to the car, and home, remembering the bogs, grasses, rocks, dark water, windswept spruces, and wildness. We agreed we would return to Dolly Sods. “Art objects are information, valuable sources for learning,” says Irene Geiss, president of the local chapter. “At the same time art provides an aesthetic experience that you cannot get from the printed word, so this exhibition is designed to bring us together with art objects,” she added. The exhibition demonstrates communication through art on several levels^ Some of the objects show the relationship between art and the development of the written word, such as Egyptian hieroglyphics, cuneiform inscriptions, oriental calligraphy and illuminated medieval manuscripts.

According to Vern L. Hill, DMV commissioner, total net revenue collections for the 1979-80 fiscal year were $457 million, down $21.8 million or 4.6 percent compared to the previous fiscal year. Fuels tax collections, which account for over half of DMV’s total revenues, were $270 million, a decrease of 4.4 percent over the one-year period. Revenues from the state’s Sales and Use Tax were $64 million, down 11.7 percent. Hill said the 2 percent tax is collected when new cars are titled in Virginia or when a used car is sold and retitled. “The fact that people are buying less expensive used cars instead of new cars affects this source of revenue because the tax is collected on the purchase price of a vehicle.” Although fewer people are buying new cars. Hill noted that more people are buying reserved or “vanity” license plates for an extra $10 a year. Revenues from reserved plate fees were $892,890, up 11.5 percent compared to the last fiscal year. At the end of June, there were 3.7 million motor vehicles registered in the state and 3.4 million drivers holding valid Virginia licenses. DMV revenues are one of the largest sources of state income, second only to funds collected by the Department of Taxation. Most of DMV's revenues are deposited In the state's Highway Maintenance and Construction Fund. RENTAL PROPERTY Downtown Warrenton, across from new Courthouse.
