Latham EDNA MILLS IS BUSY, sanding and refinishing furniture, reupholstering furniture, cooking and cleaning at home and keeping store in between times. She thrives on the variety of activities which surround her. «. .. -.. Edna Mills Puts New Life In Old Furniture By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer If Edna Mills had business cards printed to list all the many things she does, they’d have to be a foot long. As wife and mother, she’s authorized to include 1001 domestic tasks that leave her home gleaming. After raising three sons, she has legitimate claim on amateur waitresscook-chauffeur-laundress status and like most country ladies, she can add gardening and canning to his list of accomplishments. Edna could fill a business card with her home responsibilities alone but the hours she spends minding the home store have to be squeezed in between the time she devotes to minding the store next door. And when she isn't standing behind the cash register, she’s tacking red velvet on a loveseat or scraping layers of paint off a chest of drawers in her upholstering and refinishing business. For 25 years, Edna and James P. Mills have operated their country store at Estes, a little community stuck back on Route 729 near the Culpeper County line. ‘‘That’s too long," Edna chuckled, beaming the wide smile she flashes to visitors and neighbors alike. “No, it’s really all in what you get used to. I’m used to it. I like it. I like working with furniture and I like keeping store." Formerly Edna Cloud, she was born and raised in the county, growing up between the old Forest Grove school and the Forest Grove Baptist Church. "I used to walk across the fields to school,” she recalled, adding that her entire educational career took place in that old neighborhood school. “I was there some days when the teachers couldn’t get to school because the snow was too deep for their horses.” Back then, there was a livery stable at the crossroads where the teachers kept their mounts. "Miss Ida Brown rode when the weather was too bad for her Model-T, bringing J. T. Woodward behind her in the saddle,’ Edna remembered. “I guess I’m dating myself with all this talk," she chuckled. If teachers still drove Model-T Fords when she was in school, it means Edna Mills must be past 50 but it’s hard to attach an age to her face. The smooth skin and the eyes that crinkle into a smile with barely a wrinkle belie her graying hair and matronly figure. She could be 55 and she could be 42—but you can’t tell by looking. Mills store has an old wire cage at the front which used to serve as the community post office back in 1938 when Thomas Utz built the place. Edna pointed out a date on the concrete slab outside, 824-42, the point at which service was expanded to include gas tanks. According to Edna, the post office was abolished in favor of a rural route in 1948, a few years before she and her husband bought the store and the house next, door. Other than that, the years (Continued on Page 3) Title I Meeting The parent advisory council meeting, Title I, will be held at the elementary school on Wednesday, November 5, at 1 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Carter Leads Reagan In Rappahannock News Poll According to the preelection poll conducted this week by the Rappahannock News, incumbent Democrat Jimmie Carter leads Republican challenger Ronald Reagan in the race for the U.S. presidency with the finish line less than two weeks away. The large percentage of undecided voters, however, leaves the question of who will carry the county still very much up in the air. In the poll conducted by telephone with a random sampling of seven per cent of Rappahannock’s registered voters, Carter leads Reagan with 41.5 per cent compared to 30 per cent for the Republican candidate. Asked how they would vote if the election were to be held today, 22 per cent of those sampled said they were still undecided. Independent John Anderson was the choice of only 1.5 per cent of the voters sampled. Carter’s strongest base in the county came from the Chester Gap-Huntly area where he won support from 68 per cent of those polled compared to 28 per cent for Reagan and four per cent for Anderson. Apparently, most folks in Chester Gap and Huntly have made up their minds which name to mark on the ballot November 4 because no one contacted for the poll was undecided. Carter was also the favorite in Sperryville with Reagan trailing 60 to 40 per cent. Registered voters polled in the Washington-Flint Hill area gave a slight edge to Reagan over Carter, 28 per cent to 24 per cent, but those communities had the highest percentage of undecided responses with 48 per cent. In Amissville, Castleton and Viewtown, there are also a lot of voters waiting until the last minute to decide. Reagan edged out Carter with 32 per cent compared to 24 per cent but was edged out himself by the undecided’s 42 per cent. Anderson trailed with only two per cent. The News poll, conducted by RCHS students recommended by the faculty, covered only the presidential Board Considers Sugar-Coated Learning And Computers Learning with a spoonful of sugar” is how school board member Nancy Reeve described an offer from the manager of the Mountain Magic Cinema to incorporate film classics into an educational enrichment program for Rappahannock’s public schools. “I’m trying to schedule films that bear a direct relationship to your educational program,” Freeman Allen told the county school board at last Tuesday’s meeting. He reported that he has ‘‘The Yearling” and “Captains Courageous” planned for fall, both base'1 on classical novels generally read by junior high and high school students. He added that he’d also located a good print of “Shenandoah,” the feature shown every year to seventh graders as part of American history lessons, and has it scheduled for December with “The Black Stallion” coming at Thanksgiving. Allen suggested that visits to the cinema in Washington supplement field trips, already curtailed to achieve the board’s goal of a 10 per cent fuel reduction. “Basically, it doesn’t take any gas at all to get to Washington,” he said. He also offered the theater for use in fund raising activities for the seventh grade’s annual trip to Williamsburg, proposing that kids sell S20 discount ticket books, keeping $5 out of each sale for the trip fund. In addition, he volunteered the theater’s stage for student readings of Shakespeare and other class related activities. If a teacher wants a particular film, Allen continued. he needs four to five 44 '♦5-'' * c;nnr;n!iM V vV A * ■V APPLE —Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham HORDES OF MOTORISTS visited Rappahannock during the weekend for the house tour or just to enjoy the autumn splendor or pick up some apples or cider. Though they came in droves, there is still enough cider and apples, pumpkins and sorghum, for those expected this weekend. The foliage is probably at its peak right now and if present conditions continue to and through the weekend, it will be most pleasant for many more visitors. Emma Swindler tends her fruit stand near her home in Sperryville, and extends a cordial welcome to the area. weeks notice to order a print. “I’ll be glad to give teachers access to my files so they can see what films are readily available. I’d be delighted to do that.” Chariman Beverly Massie commended Allen for his community spirit and for offering the possibility for an enrichment program. “It’s a very nice idea. The kids would applaud you loudly,” added Nancy Reeve. “It’s learning with a spoonful of sugar.” In answer to questions, science teacher Lynne Baines, one of the organizers of the seventh grade’s film showings, explained that use of the theater would not compete with movies at school. “We have problems More Measle Cases Reported Four new cases of measles were diagnosed last week among students at Wakefield Country Day School, bringing the total to 20 since the outbreak of the epidemic in September. According to health department director John Einarson, the new cases mark the fourth wave of measles at the private school in Huntly. "They occurred at the same time as we were anticipating other cases in children who may have been exposed to Wakefield students,” said Dr. Einarson. To date, however, there have been no instances of the disease in the county’s public schools. Fall Back Saturday It’s time to fall back to Eastern Standard Time again. Daylight Savings Time ends at midnight Saturday and at 12.01 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 26, we'll be back on standard time. Turn clocks BACK one hour at midnight Saturday. "The exposure was there but no new cases outside of Wakefield have been reported,” Einarson said. He noted that private physicians are required to notify the local health department of any measles patients they treat. In addition, information on suspected cases is relaxed to the health department by the schools, both private and public. Contacted on Monday, Rappahannock County High School administrators said that as far as they know, there have been no absences due to measles. As a result of cases at Wakefield, the health department is scheduling special clinics to raise immunization levels. Inoculation clinics have already been held at Culpeper and Rappahannock high schools and are scheduled for Orange and Fauquier schools next week, according to Einarson. In addition, he noted that clinics have been held in Garke, Frederick and Prince William counties. The health department director emphasized that high school aged youngsters should be reimmunized for measles since evidence shows that vaccine administered prior to 1970 may not give complete immunity. with using the auditorium. The acoustics are terrible and the kids can’t ' understand what’s being said,”/she told the board. Allen set tentative admission charges at $1 per student with a 100 student minimum plus an oil surcharge to cover heating costs. "I’m not interested in making a big profit. I think if the kids come to Mountain Magic under the school’s auspices, they’ll come again on their own,” he said, explaining how school use will benefit his business. Voicing no objections to either proposed prices or programs, the board contest. Republican J. Kenneth Robinson, incumbent in the House of Representatives from the seventh district, is running unopposed. For the four proposed constitutional amendments which will appear on the ballots, see separate story. Water Shortage Due to the dry weather. Councilman Charlie Jenkins is requesting that all residents of the Town of Washington do their part in the conservation of' the Town’s water supply. Citizens are asked not to wash cars, water lawns or use excessive amounts of water. According to Mayor Newbill Miller, a leak in the water line is suspected. Anyone who knows of a possible leak should call Mr. Jenkins. Clerk Needed At Boston Post Office The U.S. Postal Service has announced an examination for the clerk position in the post office at Boston, Va. Opening date for applications is October 27, continuing through November 1. Consideration for filling this position will be made from the highest eligibles on the register who are available. 5^ NEW AT THE RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS is Theresa Reynolds, 34, who recently moved to Rappahannock County from Brookneal, Virginia. Mrs. Reynolds’ husband, Franklin, is a teacher at Wakefield Country Day School in Huntly. They have two children: Jesse, 6 and Grace, 4. Mrs. Reynolds worked previously at the Union Star in Brookneal and did freelance work for other newspapers and magazines. She will be doing part-time advertising, writing and composition for The Rappahannock News. Transportation Decisions Left To Superintendent By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Ncwa Staff Writer Dr. William Bloomer caught the hot potato last I week as the Rappahannock school board passed on to the superintendent decisions on I consolidating bus stops, I eliminating bus route extensions and restricting , student driving. The three controversial ) items, part of an eight step transportation policy, were I tabled by the board last I month when it acted on the rest of Bloomer’s coni servation proposals. In measures approved, in September the board agreed to reduce administrative travel by 10 per cent, require driver education cars to carry at least two students on each trip, set limits on engine warm-up time for buses, reduce student athletic trips and field trips, assign bus drivers so as to minimize “deadhead driving” with empty buses and use school automobiles to carpool bus drivers back and forth between morning and evening runs. Bloomer submitted that transportation proposals in response to the board’s earlier directive to cut gas consumption by ten per cent, the equivalent of approximately 4,600 gallons. No Cooperation Last Tuesday, Bloomer reported that consolidating bus stops had been tried with disappointing results. “Parents don’t think that consolidating is a viable option and they’re not willing to do it on a voluntary basis,” the superintendent said. In addition, Bloomer said, bus drivers are concerned over possible liability on their part if a student is injured while walking along the side of the road to a consolidated stop. He also reported that bus drivers were finding problems with fighting and discipline on the buses as a result of consolidation. He acknowledged, however, that the drivers’ concern over potential liability was unwarranted. "My opinion is that they’re not liable (if a child is injured while walking) but it’s an idea that they have,” he said. According to Bloomer, parents also object to the elimination of route extensions where buses leave the main road to travel down and back a side lane. Reading from a : <eet of i

Sugar-Coated Learning — (Continued from Page 1) authorized a teacher committee to work with Allen and school administration on “giving children a cultural and educational experience" at Mountain Magic Theater with the plan to come back to the board for final approval. Qompnterized Records Sparked by a request from the Rappahannock County Educational Association for itemized deductions to be shown on teacher pay deposit slips, the board decided to investigate putting pay records and other financial data on computer. Speaking on behalf of the RCEA, net and gross wages plus monthly deductions have been shown on teachers’ bank deposit slips by bookkeeper Frances “Tiny” Carney. Now, she said, only net and gross wages are shown, a change that has brought complaints to the RCEA from ten teachers. TIMBER OWNERS!" •f you are considering selling your trees, call us.

Bloomer and Carney said the bookkeeper doesn’t have time to itemize deductions on each monthly deposit slip, particularly since the board has demanded a bimonthly budget update by line items. Baines said that a survey taken by the RCEA shows 51 teachers prefer itemized deductions. 20 don’t want deductions listed and four don’t care. She asked the board to reconsider a return to the old procedure for filling out deposit slips, noting that Mrs. Carney has agreed to list deductions for those teachers who ask her to do so. “Is there a computer available to help Tiny with this and other bookkeeping problems?” Lane asked. Bloomer replied that he didn't know the capabilities of the high school’s computer and said that security would have to be checked out since Bridge Party Mrs. Charles H.

He added that Piedmont regional center also has computers which are used for pay records of employees there. “I suggest we look into getting a computer to help Tiny with her work,” Lane said. Robert Eatham agreed with the teachers’ request that deductions, "valuable information for tax purposes alone,” be shown on deposit slips. “I hope we can provide that information every pay day,” he said. The board agreed to investigate possibilities for computerization and, in the meantime, to continue with the present arrangement for listing deduction "»n deposit slips once in September and 1 then again in January or whenever there’s a change. Mrs. Massie noted that the accountant will provide a new copy if a teacher should lose the September slip showing deductions. Acknowledging Mrs. Carney’s complaints about her increased workload. Lane maintained the fault lies with federal and state regulations, “not the board’s insistence on a bi-monthly budget report.” After midnight when the board members returned to open session from a half hour closed meeting, they voted unanimously to accept “with regret” Mrs. Carney’s resignation as bookkeeper, effective June 30,1981. Fun Fair Plajined The Rappahannock County seventh graders are having a fun fair on Saturday.

Latham siUDENTS AT RCHS celebrated Spirit Week at the school last week. Among days scheduled were MisMatch Day, Twin Day, Fifties Day and Career Day. Among winners in the competition were Angela Facchina and Cindy Buckner, J. B. Carter, Lynn Jones, Peggy Stevenson, Belinda Burke and Steve Scott. Transportation Decisions (Continued from Page 1) data supplied by the administration, Robert Eastham noted that buses on side routes travel 0.7 mile to pick up nine children in one instance and in another, travel 1.8 miles to pick up only one high school boy. Figuring that the second extension amounts to daily travel of approximately eight miles, Eastham decribed it as “an abuse of the public school system.” He objected to the added gas consumption which results from that extension, noting that the parents “chose to live way back in the hollow” and should be willing to bring their teenage son out to the main bus route. Limits On Walking Bloomer noted that state regulations allow a local school system to require children less than 10 years old to walk up to a mile to a bus stop and children over 10 to walk up to a mile and a half. He added that the parents of the students who live at the end of the 1.8 mile route extension bring their son out to a main intersection during winter months when the country road is unsafe for bus travel. Without making a formal recommendation on the consolidation proposal, Bloomer said the school system could save $1,000 or so by combining stops. “But our public relations loss may be worth more than that,” he added. “What you’re saying is that we can’t put the conservation policies pushed by the federal and state government into effect because people won’t like it,” Eastham stated. Agreeing with Nelson Lane that consolidation is “tricky as heck,” Nancy Reeve maintained that if consolidation or elimination of route extensions is approved, it “must be across the board and not on an individual child basic ” Don’t Be COLD This WINTER!

He suggested that Bloomer ask again for volunteers willing to consolidate bus tops before rearranging the stops to conform with the maximum walking distances allowed by the state. “We’re infringing on school operations,’’ Eastham countered. “Dr. Bloomer was asked to achieve a 10 per cent gas reduction but he can’t carry out our directive if we don’t give him the tools. We should leave it up to Dr. Bloomer to balance savings against public relations” (in determining whether to consolidate stops and eliminate route extensions), Eastham insisted. The board agreed to leave implementation of the controversial proposals — including restrictions on student driving—up to the superintendent. No Abuse Bloomer reported that of the 49 students who were issued parking permits last year, 17 said they drove for after school activities, 18 said thev drove so they could leave school for jobs, five said they drove for doctor, dentist or orthodontist appointments and nine cited other reasons, including 15 minutes of extra sleep. If all driving was eliminated. Bloomer said, it would not result in overcrowding on any buses. But, he added, “I do not feel our students are abusing the privilege of driving to school” and maintained that parents have the prerogative to finance student driving if they so choose. "Well, you did your best, Doctor, and I don’t know what we got out of it,” commented Eastham after the board agreed to leave enforcement to the discretion of the superintendent. Following the decision on the conservation proposals, the board took up another tabled item and agreed to offer two school buses for Culpeper Lions Wedding There’ll be hootin’, hollerin’, and hilarity for all on November 14 and 15 when the four Culpeper Lions Clubs present an old fashioned, country style "Womanless Wedding” and variety show.

Edna Milk Brings Furniture Back To Life continued irom Page 1) have had little impact at Mills store. A step through the screen door is a step back to the summers spent at grandma’s where a walk into town to buy a few pieces of candy at the old store with its dark wood floors, glass counters and dusty shelves was the highlight of a city kid’s day. At Edna's store, the newest item is a relic from the past—a big double-doored wood stove that was installed last week. “The oil stove we did have kept us from freezing but that’s about all,” she said, suppressing a shiver in remembrance. “About the only changes have been in the prices. There’s been a lot of change in prices—all up,” Edna said of her 25 years at the store. “Our stock hasn’t changed much. We used to carry clothing and a few shoes but that got too expensive.” The volume of business at Mills store has dropped off some in the last quarter century as local folks use improved back roads to reach Culpeper for most of their shopping. “Country stores are now a sideline for the person who runs out of milk and bread and doesn’t want to run all the way to town," Edna said. And there’s competition between country stores just as there is among big business in the city. Tollivers is only four miles away from Mills store, Rohrs four miles, Viewtown three and Laurel Mills about four. "People pick their own store and go to that one for the things they forget to get in town. You can’t make a living in a country store if that’s all you have to depend on for income. You just can’t make a decent living,” Edna concluded. At the store, she shares duties with her husband. The furniture business she runs alone without help from either Jim or their three sons. They want no parts of it,” she emphasized, making it clear that none of her menfolk will touch a can of varnish with a chair leg 10 feet long. Furniture upholstery and refinishing were not fields she planned to enter. Edna never took courses in either and began both by chance. The refinishing came first. She started on some old painted furniture she got from her parents as a do-ityourself home improvement project. Then Mary Frances Fannon asked her to do a piece and Edna’s partnership with a vajiTish can was underway. A few years later, a lady with an old chair out of a mobile home in the back of her pick-up truck stopped by the store. “She was going to take the chair to the dump so I said to leave it on my porch,” Edna recalled. A few days later, she had the chair sitting in the back of the store as she tackled it with hammer, pins and new fabric when the woman stopped back again. “I was going to make it my chair but she asked if she could buy it back. I told her she could have it for just what I had into it—$28,” Edna recalled. Another career was launched. Refinishing outside during the summer months and upholstering in the winter time at the back of the store, Edna has attracted a regular clientele. Her business has built up with nt' advertising but the best—word of mouth. Customers in McLean learned of her talents through a first cousin’s neighbor who had a few pieces done. Locally, the news has spread between friends who’ve admired her work in each other’s homes. Nancy Rothrock dubbed her three reupholstered and refinished rooms “Edna’s rooms,” according to Mrs. Mills. The Rothrocks have been one of her regular clients from the start, with Edna doing furniture for the judge's office in Fairfax as well as pieces for the family home in Viewtown. She’s also refinished and reupholstered piece after piece for Judge Rayner Snead and his wife Lois. Edna’s services are so much in demand that friendly antagonism developed between the barristers’ wives. “When I was too busy to get on some things for her, Nancy Rothrock said she was going to call Lois Snead and tell her that I’d died,” Edna chuckled. Her work has been so popular that she can’t begin to remember all of her clients. “There are too many. I’ve been doing it too long. I used to keep their names all written down until it got monotonous.” But like a mother whose kids have gone off, Edna has kept track of many of her pieces of furniture after they’ve left the county. A loveseat from the old Sperryville barbershop went to Chicago. An empress sofa and chair ended up in New York. “I’ve even got seven pieces in Florida,” she said with pride. Edna enjoys her onewoman business. “I’ve done some beautiful work. Sometimes I don’t know how I managed it. I’ll finishsomething and step back to look and say to myself ‘Why Edna, how’d you do that? It’s so beautiful!' ” Most of all, she likes restoring antiques. “I love doing old things.

There are three main types of athletes foot infections and they are all called opportunists. Some people sweat much more profusely from their feet, wear synthetic stockings (nylons and acrylics) and don't powder their feet to absorb the moisture. To prevent these Infections, if you sweat profusely wear cotton socks, wash and dry your feet well, powder your feet once or even twice a day.

As a case in point, one home recently sold for 552.000. Five years ago this same home sold for 535.000. True, prices were never higher but for that matter, prices probably will never be lower either. For example, if this $35,000 home increased in value at a rate of only 6 percent per year, in ten years it will be worth $62,680. In twenty years, the same house will be selling at $112,250. And a 6 percent appreciation is conservative in these days of double digit inflation. When mortgage money is tight, the opportunity to buy the right home at the right price will never be better. When the flow of money increases, so does the demand for homes and. consequently the scarcity of selection at the right price, Shakespearean advice applies: If to buy or not to buy is the question, t’were well if it were done now. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, REALTOR, Middle Street, Washington. Phone: 675-3400. We’re here to help. K Cf.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23,1980 There’s A Lesson There’s a lesson for the school board in Mrs. Frances “Tiny” Carney’s resignation as bookkeeper after six years in the position. At last week’s meeting, Nelson Lane laid the blame for Mrs. Carney’s increased workload on federal and state regulations, bureaucracy and red tape, not on the school board’s insistence that Carney give them a bi-monthly update on the school budget. But workload is not the reason for the resignation the board accepted with regret later in the meeting. The bimonthly budget report played a part in Carney’s decision to leave but only as it reflected the school board’s posture of suspicion. In a letter to superintendent William Bloomer and school board chairman Beverly Massie, Mrs. Carney pointed to insinuations of administrative and instructional incompetence and an attitude of mistrust and pettiness as causes for her departure. At the same time she praised rapport in the school board office, attributing the atmosphere there to Dr. Bloomer’s common sense, good judgment and humor. She maintained also that the board’s constant interference in matters outside its scope of authority was affecting efficiency and morale of many in the system. In an interview, Mrs. Carney contrasted the board’s suspicious scrutiny of financial records with professional accountant Nancy Blackenbaker’s description of the Rappahannock school system’s books as some of the best among the 26 counties her firm handles. Last week, the books once again passed annual audit with flying colors. According to Mrs. Carney, she’s been doing regular inter-office budget updates, sometimes by line items but usually by categories, since 1976. “But I didn’t feel I had to proof if. If I made a mistake transferring row after row of figures, I felt it would be brought to my attention without anv insinuations at all. I didn’t feel that someone would jump down my throat if I made a mistake. But there’s no attitude of trust now so it boils down to doing the books twice to make sure I haven’t made an honest error,” she said. We don’t feel Mrs. Carney is sparring with shadows in a closet. We too have felt implications from certain board members that everything isn’t quite right with school money matters. Consideration of potentially expensive measures that will result in an unqualified audit for the school activity and cafeteria fluids is a good example. The accountant who explained procedures necessary for an unqualified audit emphasized that he knows of no other school systems which employ such an involved system of checks and double checks. The unqualified audit will cost approximately SI, 100 to $1,600 more in accountant’s fees plus one-time charges for setting up the new system. Hidden costs for additional personnel who may be required to provide the double checks at every point where money is handled could send the price up much higher. If no new personnel are hired, it means more work for administrators and teachers who already carry a heavy load. The bill—in morale and money—will be high. Why change to new audit procedures when no one’s uncovered any problems or irregularities in the old system? It behooves the board to keep the qualified and experienced personnel already on the payroll, whether teachers, secretaries, bus drivers, bookkeepers, cafeteria workers, administrators, custodians or aides. A little trust, a little appreciation, a few thank yous and a lot less suspicion—implied or stated—will go a long way towards that end. Voters Will Decide Constitutional Issues In Rappahannock as in the rest of Virginia, the battle for the presidency of the United States of America overshadows other questions which will appear on the ballots November 4. The choice on election day isn’t just between candidates for president. The choice on election day isn’t just between candidates for president. At issue for Virginia voters are four constitutional amendments. The following information on the amendments is provided by the League of Women Voters, an organization which believes that if people have accurate information on public policy issues they will make good choices—for themselves, for their communities, for their state and nation. Question 1: Shall sections 6, 11 and 13 of Article IV and Section V of the Constitution of Virginia be amended to authorize the General Assembly to convene for a limited period of time to consider legislation vetoed by the Governor? The Virginia Constitution provides for annual sessions of the state legislature. Bills passed in these sessions may be signed into law by the Governor, returned to the General Assembly with recommendations for change, or vetoed. If the Governor vetoes a bill when the General Assembly is still ins ession, it can vote to override the veto and the bill then becomes law. There is presently no provision in the Constitution to enable the General Assembly to make recommended changes or to override vetos made by the Governor after the legislature has adjourned. The proposed amendment would provide for a three-day session, beginning on the sixth Wednesday after adjournment of a regular or special session, to reconsider bills vetoed or returned by the Governor. No other business could be conducted. This session could be extended for not more than seven additional days, if approved by a majority of the members in each house. The Constitution also provides that a bill be sent to the Governor after it is signed by the presiding officers of the Senate and the House of Delegates. At present, these presiding officers must sign a bill within 20 days after adjournment of the General Assembly. This Amendment would require them to sign a bill three days after it is passed by both houses, printed and ready for signature, reducing time between passage of a bill by the General Assembly and action by the Governor. Question 2: Shall Section 10 of Article VII of the Constitution of Virginia be amended to decrease the maximum indebtedness a city or town may incur? The Virginia Constitution limits the amount of money a city of town may borrow to 18 per cent of the assessed value of taxable real estate in the city or town. The proposed amendment would lower the debt limit to 10 per cent of assessed value. Only long term borrowing by general obligation bonds would be affected. Counties, whose general obligation bonds are approved by the voters, are not covered by this amendment. Question 3: Shall Section 6 of Article X of the Constitution of Virginia be amended to authorize the General Assembly to permit certain tax exemptions for personal property which is designated for continuous habitation, owned and used by persons not less than sixty-five or disabled? The Virginia Constitution now permits the General Assembly to authorize local governments to extend real estate tax exemptions to low income people who are sixtyfive years of age and over or are permanently and totally disabled. Since mobile homes are classified as personal property, not as real estate, their owners are not eligible for the exemption. The proposed amendment would permit the General Assembly to authorize localities, at their option, to extend equivalent property tax relief to eligible persons who own property, such as mobile homes, that is used as a permanent residence. Question 4: Shall Section 6 of Article X of the Constitution of Virginia be amended to authorize the General Assembly to permit certain tax exemptions for property whose purpose is to replace oil or natural gas generating equipment installed after December thirtyone, nineteen hundred seventy-four? All allowable property tax exemptions must be listed in the Virginia Constitution. The proposed amendment would permit the General Assembly to allow local governments to exempt or partially exempt from taxation generating equipment installed for the purpose of converting from oil and natural gas to coal, wood, wood residue or other alternate sources of energy. Th^ generating equipment must be used in manufacturing. Each locality could decide whether to give such property tax relief, for how much and for what length of time.

Section 431 of the newly revised Federal Election Laws strictly prhibits the local political committees from doing any type of advertising containing the name of the presidential candidate, whether in the newspapers, radio or television. The irony of this violation is that the Federal Election Laws were passed by a Congress controlled by the Democrats and signed into law by President Carter, himself. The Republican Party in Virginia, and Rappahannock County in particular, has been very careful to abide by this hew law and not use the names of Reagan, Bush or Congressman Robinson in afe^ of its paid political advertising. Any ad using the name of the candidate must be signed by the Reagan-Bush Campaign Committee, or CarterMondale Campaign Committee and charged to that committee’s allowed expenses.’The local committees may not use their own disclaimer. Four years ago .the Democrats violated another Federal law by placing campaign materials in rural mailboxes throughout the county and affixing posters and bumper stickers on highway signs and utility poles. If the Democrats are going to elect people who pass these laws, then they should certainly be willing to abide by them. FRANCES (TINY) CARNEY Chairman Rappahannock County Republican Committee Return Sheets To the editor: Now that HMS Pinafore is off Land’s End I should not still have free sheets to return. But our record keeping has failed into qnconnected instances: I somehow, and most regrettably, failed to acknowledge my gratitude to my First construction assistant, Franklin Hume, and to store mentally the name of a generous lender of three sheets (two king flat and one queen flat) for Pinafore’s wings. Will the owner please call 675-3283 and save my tormented memory? WALDRON O’CONNOR Undecideds To the editor: The national political campaign ends Nov. 3. According to the press, there are many voters in the “undecided” category. Perhaps the following will help some reach a decision. The two principal candidates for the Residency appeal from differing positions: One has been in office nearly four years and has a record to defend - and, if he wins, to extend. The other promises to perform differently - and better. President Carter has said very little to date in the campaign about his record. It is not hard to see why: 1. Speaking of crimes and justice in 1976, Mr. Carter said that “ . . . restoring order in our society ... is a question of leadership.” Since he took office, violent crime has increased 20 percent. 2. The Soviet Union’s annual spending for arms ~*ow totals 150 percent of Notin Accordance To the editor: It may be that your readers are unaware that the paid political advertisement by the local Democratic Party in your October 16 issue is not in accordance with current election laws. Section 431 of the Federal election laws, recently revised by the Democratic-controlled Congress, prohibits political funds to be used in support of a candidate unless those funds are solicited and collected by that candidate’s campaign organization. Hence the name of the Democratic national nominee should not have been mentioned in the advertisement. We of the Republican Party in Rappahannock County are being scrupulous in our attention to those regulations. We are also presenting to your readers in the limited space available in political advertisements information on the Republican Party national platform and our own beliefs with regard to local issues which we believe are of concern to the citizens of our county. We also look forward with some anticipation to seeing an editorial from your “Republican Special Writer” to provide us with a counterpoint to the views of your “Democrat Special Writer” which were presented on your editorial page of the October 9th issue. PAlJL M. FRANTZ Treasurer, Republican Party of Rappahannock County ours. In July 1976, President Carter said: “I consider the foremost responsibility of any President to be the guaranteeing of our nation’s security ... I would be deeply committed to that proposition.” Despite these words and the steady growth of Soviet influence around the world. President Carter cut $38 billion from President Ford’s projected defense budgets; delayed the MX missile at least four years; cancelled the B-l bomber; cut planned naval shipbuilding in half. These and other actions and nonactions led former British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan to comment in December 1978: “Things are as bad for the West as they could possibly be and they are getting worse. The Europeans have to deal with the weakest American Administration in my lifetime.” 3. Since Mr. Carter became President, the median price of a new home has risen 49 percent. The number of American families who can afford to buy one has dropped from 27 percent to less than 5 percent. 4. Remember Mr. Carter’s promise to balance the Federal budget? After almost four years. Federal spending has increased $231 billion, Federal taxes increased $246 billion, and the National Debt increased $300 billion. This year’s - his last of four - budget deficit will be about $60 billion. Does anyone still wonder why we have raging inflation? Virginians would do well to take note of this interesting fact: in 1976, Senator Harry F. Byrd Jr., ran for the U. S. Senate as an independent. His Democratic opponent was retired Admiral Elmo R. Zumwalt, a strong Carter supporter. The Monday, October 13, 1980, edition of The Washington Post reports that Zumwalt is working hard for the election of Ronald Reagan! Senator Byrd has also endorsed Ronald Reagan. President Carter’s record is one of failure. Any stillundecided Rappahannock County voter should ask why the two fierce political opponents of four years ago now agree? And then vote for Reagan in November! JOHN L. MAROCCHI Sperryville t Baumgardner Named Special Prosecutor Douglas C. Baumgardner, commonwealth’s attorney for Rappahannock County, has been named special prosecutor in the embezzlement case against a former employee of the Airlie Foundation. Fauquier’s commonwealth's attorney Charles Foley and his assistant Roger Inger were relieved by Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson of prosecuting the charges. Robertson acted on an October 10 request from the two lawyers who asked that they be removed on the basis of conflict of interest. Both attorneys also represent Airlie employees in a federal grand jury investigation. Former Airlie employee Robert T. Curtis of Manassas is charged with embezzling S735 from the foundation in August, 1975. Allegedly, Curtis obtained endorsement from the foundation's director Dr. Murdock Head or forged the signature on a check dated July, 1975, drawn on the National Bank of Washington. Judge Robertson’s order relives Foley and Inger from prosecuting any other cases resulting from investigations of former Airlie employees as well as the case against Curtis. Warner Named “Watchdog” Virginia Sen. John W. Warner has been named a “Watchdog of the Treasury” by National Associated Businessmen, Inc. (NAB), for consistently “voting against unnecessary federal spending” during the two sessions of the %th Congress. Warner was among only 10 senators of the Senate’s 100 members to score a perfect 100-per cent rating in the NAB’s “Economy Voting Record” (EVR), an index of congressional attitudes toward economy in government as indicated by key votes on spending and budget-cutting legislation. Sen. Harry F. Byrd, Jr., of Virginia also was one of the NAB’s “100-per centers." For Byrd, in the Senate since 1965, it was his eighth "Watchdog of the Treasury” award. The award was the first for Warner, just completing his first two years in the Senate. Warner also finished the 96th Congress, with the exception of a “lame duck” session to be held after election Day, without missing a single rollcall vote.

United States Farm Population Down The United States farm population numbered 6.2 million in 1979, about 2.8 percent of the total U. S. population, according to a report released by the U. S. Departments of Agricultural and Commerce. lhe number of farm residents was calculated to be down about 4 percent (260,000) from the 1978 figure, according to estimates produced jointly by USDA’s Economics and Statistics Service and Commerce’s Bureau of the Census. However, such a decline may represent a slight variation in the sample rather than a real decline in the total farm population. The farm population has proportionally fewer women, more whites, more husbandwife families and a higher fertility level than the nonfarm population. In addition the farm population has a higher average age and a lower average income. The number of farm residents declined more slowly in the seventies than in earlier decades. Between 1970 and 1979, the farm population lost an average of 2.8 percent and its residents per year, much less than the 4.8 percent average annual rate of loss between 1960 and 1970.

W ood working Seminar Planned The VPI Extension Service will hold a special half-day seminar on Thursday, November 20, on how the small woodworking industry can keep costs to an absolute minimum without sacrificing quality through do-it-yourself help from the sun. To be held at the Holiday Inn—Airport in Richmond from 10 a.m. to 3 o.m.. the seminar will be conducted by two leading authorities in the woodworking industry, Dr. Gene Wengert and Fred Lamb. Presentations will show how the small woodworking company can buy green lumber at sometimes half the cost of dry lumber, how to build a solar-heated lumber dryer, how to dry wood to seven per cent moisture with solar heat and how to store dry lumber to avoid manufacturing defects. The seminar will also focus on construction, theory and operation of the solar-heated lumber dryer that has been designed and tested at Virginia Tech. Plans will be distributed for a 1,500 BF unit with instructions on how to increase the size up to 5,000 BF. Also, techniques for measuring moisture content will be reviewed. For registration, contact Wengert or Lamb at (703) %1-5560.

Or go into her dining room and you might find the whole table covered with a giant wedding cake, a fantastic creation with tiers connected by bridges that no engineer would approve. “Ginny’s Kitchen" is the name Geneva Pierson has given her home baking business. For the past four years Mrs. Pierson has been taking orders_for all kinds of home-baked products which she fills fropi her home in Amissville. Mrs. Pierson first started baking fancy pastries in order to have special treats for her children when they came home from school. Soon friends and neighbors started asking for her creations for birthdays or showers and demand grew until Ginny’s Kitchen was born. • Mrs. Pierson’s reputation for baking treats that taste good as well as looking fancy has spread as far as Washington, D. C. She generally goes into the city about once a month to fill large orders for parties. On her last trip there she took a dozen cheesecakes and thirtysix smaller cheesecake tarts for a special party. “All of these are baked the night before,” Mrs. Pierson explained. “Otherwise I wouldn’t consider them really fresh.” How does she do it? “Well, I usually wait until the kids go to bed and then I just get started and work most of the night,” Mrs. Pierson said. She does have definite ideas about how baked goods should taste. "Many readymade baked goods just have inferior ingredients,” she said. “And wedding and other fancy cakes that you order from bakeries are usually frozen. They just pull them out and decorate them.” Although Mrs. Pierson does not give out her recipes she was willing to give us one clue: “I think butter makes a big difference,” she said. “And I don’t use any of the standard recipes. I’ve developed my own, both for the cakes and the frosting. And, of course, I’ll use somebody’s favorite recipe for their wedding cake if they want.” Mrs. Pierson remembered some of the close calls she’s had with wedding cakes: "There was one chocolate wedding cake I made - you see more and more of these now - and the chocolate is harder to cover than the vanilla cakes. It was in August and very hot and rainy. I was serving the cake and the little flowers kept slipping off. Luckily, the frosting held up until the guests had all been served.” Another time she was transporting a cake when it fell over in the car. “We had to put it back together and redecorate it while the guests were arriving.” There have been other instances where her business had demanded a steady hand and calm nerves. “Once, my husband was holding the cake in the back seat and I stopped the car suddenly and his thumb went into the cake. That’s another time we had to re-ice the cake very quickly.” When he’s not putting his thumbs into wedding cakes, Deadline For Grant The National Wildlife Federation, the nation’s largest conservation education organization, has set a deadline of December 31, 1980, for applications from graduate students for its 1981-82 Environmental Conservation Fellowships. To be eligible, applicants must be citizens of the United States, Canada, or Mexico who are pursuing degrees in a college or university graduate program or law school. They must be principally engaged in research, rather than course work, in fields related to wildlife, resources management, or the protection of environmental quality. Emphasis will be given to applicants intending to investigate topics of contemporary concern. Fellowships are offered to encourage research likely to provide information that will be beneficial to the NWF’s conservation education programs. The program is designed to assist a large number of research projects, rather than to provide full support for a few. Grants are awarded in various amounts up to $4,000. In addition to the NWF fellowships, which have been Movie Day Cub Scout pack 123 from Washington will present two movies at the elementary school Sunday, October 26 at 2 p.m. “A Bear Called Paddington" and "New York, Too Far From Tampa.

HORSESALE 2nd Sat., 1 p.m., Evary Month STATEGRADE FAT CATTLE , 1at A 3rd Tuos. 1 p.m. Ewory Month v 1 Mila East of Marshall ■ phone aeiiar , Richard Pierson is a very big part of Ginnv’s Kitchen. He does some of the frosting decoration for the wedding and other very ornate cakes that Ginny bakes. For this task he is very well qualified. Richard is a calligrapher and numbers the invitations for several Inaugural Balls among his assignments. The Piersons live at Oak Crest, a sixty-five-year-old home in Amissville that was the first prefabricated house sold by Sears and Roebuck. They were featured in the Rappahannock News, along with their house, when the structure had to be moved back to make room for Route 211. Oak Crest is of Victorian design and has twenty rooms. Mrs. Pierson has plenty of room to spread out and she needed it recently when she baked and decorated a wedding cake for 300 people. "The biggest layer had to be filled with seven different batches of batter,” she rmemberd. "It took two and one half hours just to bake.” She couldn’t remember all the quantities of ingredients that went into the cake, but she did know that it took seven dozen eggs. The cake had twelve tiers in all, and when the Piersons went to put it together shortly before the wedding, they realized that there was a layer missing. Mrs. Pierson was taking the last layer out of the oven when the wedding party called to say that they were ready for the cake. Mrs. Pierson has invested so much in equipment now that she prefers to serve the cake when she bakes for weddings. She also fills orders for her cheesecakes, decorated cupcakes and pies. “I’ll bake just about anything to order,” she said. “I’m not afraid to try something new.” When Mrs. Pierson is not taking care of her twentyroom house or her three children—Dwayne, Phoebe, and Jeannine—or staying up all night baking, she works for the Amissville Rescue Squad and until recently was making daily trips to the hospital with a man who i^eeded c h e ni otherapy treatments. “Helping with the Rescud" Squad is work I really enjoy,” Mrs. Pierson said. She had polio as a child and has a lot of sympathy for people caught in a medical emergency or a long-term illness. Like her rescue squad work, Mrs. Pierson’s baking is a way of sharing some of her boundless energy. “Of course, I like the income Ginny’s Kitchen brings,” she said. “But I like it just as well when my children would bring their friends home' because ‘my mommy always has something good to eat.’ ” —Rappahannock New* Photoa/Thercaa Reynolds ONE LAST RUFFLE for the doll’s skirt and she is all set to celebrate the birthday of some lucky young girl. Although Mrs. Pierson provides elaborately decorated cakes for all occasions, her cakes must taste as well as look delicious. Maximum Safe-Driving Points Earned Of Virginia’s 3.4 million licensed drivers, over onethird or 1.4 million drivers have now accumulated a maximum of five safe-driving points, according to Vem L. Hill, commissioner of the Division of Motor Vehicles. “Since the Driver Improvement ' Program became effective January 1, 1975, good drivers have earned one good point for each calendar year that demerit points have not been assigned to their records,” Hill said. “That means if you have avoided license suspension, revocation or conviction of a moving violation during the last five years, you now have five good points on your record,” he explained. Hill noted that drivers can use a maximum of five safedriving points to erase current or future demerit points. Last year, almost threefourths of Virginia’s drivers or 2.6 million earned onesafe-driving point. Drivers can also earn five safe-driving points by completing a Driver Improvement Clinic approved by DMV. At the clinics, drivers are instructed in methods of defensive driving. Although the clinics are open to all drivers. Hill said they are primarily for drivers who have a high number of demerit points.

Chain Saws Are Dangerous A chain saw is one of the most potentially dangerous power tools on the market today. Estimates of over 47,000 accidents per year lend further credibility of that fact. Nevertheless, they are being purchased by hundreds of Virginians who have no prior experience with the tool or knowledge about their operation and function. Glen H. Hetzel, Extension safety specialist at Virginia Tech, said the chain saw is unique from other power tools. “Because it is portable, you can get a chain saw into all kinds of places where you shouldn’t have it,” he said. With the increased use of wood stoves, chain saws are being used by homeowners wanting to save money by cutting their own wood. "The tools can double or triple your production at the woodpile,” Hetzel stated. “But if you’re not careful, you can wind up losing a leg instead of saving time.” It’s important to use the lightest chain saw that will get the job done. The less strain and fatigue, the less chance of an accident, Hetzel says. Large chain saws, weighing over 15 pounds, are best used for professional, heavy cutting of large wood and in felling operations. Saws of a medium size generally having a total weight of 10-15 pounds, with cutting bars between 12-18 inches, are good for light cutting, bucking and limbing. Small, lightweight saws, usually weighing under 10 pounds, with cutting bar lengths of 10-12 inches, are best suited for cutting small trees and pruning. Felling and cutting timber is hard work. Operators should be in good physical condition, able to withstand heavy work periods. Those who become exhausted easily may be potential accident victims. “Don’t hesitate to take frequent rest breaks,” Hetzel advised. Before starting for the woods, be sure to be outfitted properly for the job. Wear warm, comfortable, trimfitting clothing that allows easy movement. Steel-toed boots or shoes with nonskid soles are a must. A recent survey showed that one in six chain saw accidents could be traced to a loss of footing. Other pieces of proper equipment includes safety goggles or eye glasses with safety lenses to help prevent possible eye injury from flying wood chips or sticks. A good safety hardhat may prevent serious head injury from falling branches, limbs, or bumping your head. “Ear protection (ear plugs or acoustic muffs) are essential because of the saw’s high noise level," Hetzel said. If ears ring for an extended time after the saw is used, hearing damage may have occurred. In addition to possibly causing hearing loss, the noise and vibration of a chain saw can cause fatigue and swelling of the hands, which is commonly known as "white fingers” disease. Buy a saw with minimum vibration and good vibrationabsorbing grips. Proper maintenance is also essential. Take time to sharpen the chain and adjust the tension. A loose chain can fly off the bar, and a dull chain can drag and catch on the wood. "Before felling a tree, size it up carefully,” stated Hetzel. “Note where the larger branches are and the wind direction to determine how the tree is likely to fall. Don’t allow anyone within two tree lengths of a person felling a tree.” Also, Hetzel advised, look over the terrain and have an escape route ready in case the tree suddenly begins falling the wrong way. Sudden gusts of wind may cause a tree tc fall in an unexpected direction. Avoid cutting large trees on windy days, or use these days for limbing (removing the limbs from the trunk) or bucking (cutting the trunk into desired lengths). Tire Care In Winterizing Virginia motorists planning to "winterize” their motor vehicles need to give special consideration to their tires, according to the Department of State Police. “One of the most frequent and dangerous habits,” says a Department spokesman, “is for a motorist to replace rear radial tires, with bias-ply or bias-belted tires, leaving radial tires on the front wheels. Not only is this extremely dangerous, it is contrary to the inspection rules and regulations.” According to State Police safety regulations, a motor vehicle may not be equipped with radial tires on the front wheels if it has bias-ply or bias-belted tires on the rear wheels. However, a vehicle may have bias-ply or biasbelted tires on both front wheels and radial tires on both rear wheels. The regulations also prohibit having a radial tire and a bias-ply or bias-belted tire on the same axle. “Any use of radial tires other than to have radial tires on all four wheels or at least on both rear wheels,” said (PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT) Mr. Robinson enjoys wide-spread popularity throughout the district, and his dedication to “constituent representation" instead of overseas junketing and political grandstanding has paid off in the genuine popularity he enjoys. WKit 6c Ken Robinson Patd lor by loliiwy 1°* C<*|rti» Commit!** Virgil Si *brr Jr TrrMurvr VOTE NOVEMBER 4th the spokesman, “creates a definite potential for oversteering in critical driving situations. Oversteering leads to vehicle crashes, injuries and fatalities.” State Police are also notifying Virginia inspection stations to pay particular attention to the type of tires being used on vehicles and to disapprove for inspection any vehicle not equipped according to safety regulations. The game of basketball, invented in 1891 in the United States, was first played with halves of bushel baskets nailed to a gymnasium balcony. Whatever kind of saw you use, hold it firmly with both hands. Keep your legs wide apart or to one side of the saw, and keep the chain parallel to the ground. Finally, be on the alert for some common causes of chain saw accidents: —A chain that keeps moving after the trigger is released. —Twisting the saw in the wood. — “Nose-sawing,” or pointing the chain into the wood instead of keeping it parallel. —Cutting limbs above waist height. These should be removed after the tree is on the ground. The chain is too , close to your face in this position. —Kickback happens when the chain jams and the saw flies back at the operaor. Kickback can occur when you saw with the upper side of the bar, when you hit a branch on the opposite side of the tree or when the cut in the wood closes in on the chain. ‘‘There are learned techniques to cutting down a tree,” Hetzel said. ‘‘An experienced chain saw operator should accompany the novice on the first couple of trips to coach and insure that the proper safety procedures are followed.” » The Rappahannock County School Board; coffers the following vehicles for sale by< ^Sealed Bid: l No. 3 -1969 Ford School Bus; 6 cylinder; 54 £ passenger. $ No. 12 - 1968 Ford School Bus; 8 cylinder, $66 passenger. ♦ These vehicles can be seen at the School ♦Bus Shop between the hours of 8:30 A.M. and $3:00 P.M. $ Send all sealed bids to: i* The School Board reserves the right to reject any and $all bids.
