From left are Bryant Lee, James Lee, tom Lee, Loretta Lee and H.S. Barksdale, conservation district director, who presented certificates of merit. Lee Family Named Outstanding Conservationists By SARAH LATHAM Rappahannock New* Staff Writer In today’s transient world few people have been born, reared and lived in the same * place for more than a half century. James and Tom Lee of Washington are among the exceptions and this year were recognized for outstanding achievement in the conservation of natural resources by the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. All of their conservation practices have taken place on the family farm; land they have tilled and grazed, orchards they have worked and harvested, all of their lives. The conservation district, composed of Rappahannock, Culpeper, Madison and Orange counties, recognizes an outstanding conservation family from each of the counties every year. A certificate of recognition is presented annually at a dinner held this year at Graves Lodge in Syria in October 30. The Lee’s are also exceptional because they are among the declining few people or families in Rappahannock or the area who make their entire living from The^HtertStrfrhe family t$ “ composed of Tom Lee, his wife Loretta Sutphin Lee, also a Rappahannock native, and their sons, Tom, Jr., Bryant and Patrick and a daughter. Carolyn and Tom's brother, James. They are the Lee Partnership. The Lee holdings include 675 acres of land which they own and 1325 acres of adjoining land which they rent for the 2000 acre farm operation, producing fruit, hay, grain and pasture. There is a total of 360 acres of apple orchards with an average harvest of 75,000 bushels and 30 acres in peaches producing 5000 bushels on the average. Corn, hay, grain and pasture take 1410 acres. Over 200 acres are mountain land. The Lees keep ten bulls, 165' Cows, 45 ewes -mmI average 245 calves and steers for market and 55 lambs. They also raise and sell about a hundred hogs annually. Loretta keeps 150 hens and sells the eggs to several Front Royal restaurants and also has a local outlet. When conservation district director H. S. Barksdale introduced the Lee family at Thursday’s dinner, he said, “The Lees are hard working people and get a lot of pleasure and satisfaction, from their family farm operation because they know they are contributing to the nation's food and fiber production. It is not all hard labor. They enjoy recreation together and with others. Loretta and the boys are members of a musical group' apd_Lx>retta has a voice {hafj can make any country dr western song sound beautiful.” It’s a real pleasure to enjoy their music and then enjoy some of Loretta’s ham biscuits and coffee, Barksdale added, and said that when Tom and the boys want to enjoy the good Rappahannock County night air they load up the hounds and go for a good coon hunt. "This family is a valuable asset to any community. They are ready and willing to respond to the needs of anyone with any problem,” he concluded. Loretta and the boys are members of the Washington Baptist Church while Tom belongs to the Mt. Salem Baptist Church, just recently restored. He is a member of the Board of Trustees and of the restoration committee. Loretta is a member of the restoration finance committee, a project which was no small task. Tom has served on the ASCS Community Committee for over 15 years with several terms as chairman, (Continued on Page 7) Tax Hearing December 1 By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Taxes, not Santa Claus, will be the main topic of discussion at the court house this December as the Rappahannock Supervisors agreed on Monday to hold a public hearing next month on changes in the county’s local tax structure. By unanimous vote at their November 3rd session, the supervisors agreed to advertise for hearing a proposal to add a 10 per cent (or S5 minimum) late penalty for and act then?” Wood inquired. “If that’s what you want to do," Baumgardner answered. Luke interjected that the county’s whole tax package—real estate levy, the land use taxation ordinance currently under consideration, tax breaks involved with agricultural and forestal districts as well as personal property taxes—must be considered. Acknowledging the proposal to do away with local taxes on livestock, household goods and farm machinery, he According to supervisor Clarence Baldwin, everyone in the county has some personal property while some Rappahannock residents don't have cars. Those without automobiles or other licensed vehicles will get off without paying any personal property taxes if the commissioner of revenue’s recommendation is approved, he maintained. “Let’s see what the people think about it,” said Wood in (Continued on Page 7) personal property declarations filed after May 1. “I think this will help to get our money in on time,” stated chairman E. P. Luke. “What will be the effect on our senior citizens?” asked Hubert Gilkey. Luke replied that the late filing penalty will not work a hardship on the county's older taxpayers because the proposed ordinance includes a provision for leniency on collection. For instance, he explained, if someone expects a check to arrive in June, the commissioner of revenue can allow a month’s leeway on filing to avoid a hardship. After the vote on the filing penalty public hearing, H. B. Wood asked when the board has to act on commissioner of revenue Merle Scoggin’s recommendation to discontinue local property taxes on farm machinery, livestock and household furnishings. ‘‘To be prudent, you should adopt a local ordinance before the first of the year," advised commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner. ‘‘We can have a public hearing at our next meeting agreed that the levy on household goods should be dropped. “If one goes, they all should go,” countered Wood, describing personal property taxes as the “most unfair, least enforceable” of the county’s laws. “But all over the state of Virginia, they’re saying we have to get the taxes off real estate and here we are putting it on real estate—it’s all we have left (if personal property is dropped),” Luke replied. “We’re getting to the point where we’re going to tax people out of their houses.” Wood disagreed that doing away with personal property taxes on household goods, farm machinery and livestock would shift the tax burden to real estate. He noted that the commissioner of revenue’s figures showed that lost revenue could be made up from taxes on licensed vehicles. Wood added that only a small percentage of persotxal property in the county is paid on now. Luke argued that the proposed change will increase the tax burden on “fixed income families with two cars.” UNOFFICIAL ELECTION RETURNS Precinct Reagan Carter Anderson Comm’er Clark DeBerry AMISSVILLE 263 207 23 0 FLINT HILL 179 158 17 0 _2 0 CHESTER GAP 50 96 WASHINGTON 235 242 26 J) J) J) 2 SPERRYVILLE 211 184 WOODVILLE 241 166 20 TOTALS 1179 1055 99 11 21 Proposed Constitutional Amendments Precincts 1 Amissville Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes No 325 115 295 131 .366 82 292 134 440 Flint Hill 204 100 198 100 241 65 182 113 308 Chester Gap 87 32 92 28 92 22 72 39 136 Washington 290 140 242 147 322 75 243 144 424 Sperryville 1% 105 192 103 237 69 197 100 337 Woodville 230 148 249 110 310 62 234 120 382 Total 1332 644 1268 619 1575_375 1220 650 2027 $2,000 Reward Offered Four Barns Burned, Arson Suspected By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer Four barns on C. E. Ned Johnson’s Sperryville farm were burned to the ground last Friday, Halloween night, in what is suspected to be the third case of arson in the county in the past several months. According to Johnson, approximately 750,000 pounds of hay was destroyed in the blaze. “It was the darnest pile of hay you ever saw,” said Johnson, reporting that the four buildings were crammed with 400 to 500 of the big. 1,500 pound round bales. In addition, the fire also took a rick two bales wide topped with loose hay between two of the barns, as well as assorted machinery, apple crates and part of a corn field. One of the barns destroyed was 140 years old. "It was built by my greatgrandparents,” Johnson said. “I had a sentimental interest in it. You just can't put a dollar value on that old log barn. Heck, you just can't put it back with dollars,” said Johnson, a lifelong native of Rappahannock, a farmer and amateur historian who is currently researching the county’s history. The Johnson home is onehalf mile from the site of the h^rn fires. ^Wb-tnuftf^^tnr all right after we heard the siren. It was horrible. How did somebody know there wasn't some person sleeping in there?” Johnson asked, noting that in years past, itinerant apple pickers have sometimes stayed in the barns without asking. He said that none of the bams were wired for electricity or had gasoline or other flammable materials stored inside. Friday's fire was the second time a suspected arsonist has struck the Johnson farm. Arson was also thought to be the cause of two barns burned there si* years ago. According to Sheriff W. A. Buntin, the state police arson unit is working with Rappahannock deputies Steve Crossman and John Henry Woodward on the investigation of Friday’s fire. Search of the fire site for evidence was delayed until Monday when the debris cooled down, Buntin said. The sheriff reported that two Culpeper deputies also came to the scene of the fires on Friday, looking for evidence of possible connections with a rash of suspected arson incidents which occured in that county over the past month. Buntin said that two earlier Rappahannock fires in deserted ^buildings in the Scrabble area near the Culpeper line are also believed to have been set by an arsonist. Last Wednesday, the Culpeper sheriffs department arrested three Boston residents—David Allen Addison, Norman Wayne Addison and Susan Lee Dodson—for arson in connection with a fire that> gutted an unoccupied house. Two of the suspects were incarcerated in the Culpeper County jail at the time of Friday’s fire. State Police special arson investigator James Jessup declined to say positively that arson was the cause of the fires that destroyed Johnson's barns. He did acknowledge, however, that according to Sperryville volunteer firemen who were first to arrive at the scene, it appeared that the four barns ignited simultaneously. $1,000 Reward Posted “We don’t condone this,” stated supervisor chairman E. P. Luke at Monday’s board meeting as he announced that Johnson’s barns had been burned. “We will do everything we can to run down this arsonist," he said, suggesting that the county offer a SI,000 reward for information leading to arrest and conviction. “If we get this reward up high enough, somebody will talk.”' “The money will be well spent if we have to pay it,” agreed Clarence Baldwin before the board voted unanimously to offer the $1000 reward. Just offering the reward, he added, may act as a deterrent to further incidents. Individuals, organizations and businesses in the community have donated an additional $2,300 to the reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in the barn burning. Anyone with information should contact the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department. Identities of those providing leads will be kept strictly confidential. Historical Society Meeting The Rappahannock Historical Society will meet Friday, November 7, at 7:30 p.m. at the Historical Building in Washington. On the agenda are election of officers and discussion of future plans. Committees will be formed with the aim of making the Historical Society a moving force in the community. All current members and anyone interested in joining are urged to attend. Dues are $5 for a couple and $3 for a single membership. —Rappahannock News Photo/S.

Ned Johnson farm at Sperryville. Reagan Carries County, State A nd Nation Republican Ronald Reagan squeeked to victory in the November 4 Presidential election in Rappahannock Tuesday night on his way to a landslide win in Virginia and the rest of the country. With 81.9 per cent of the county’s registered voters casting ballots, unofficial returns put Reagan on top with 1,179 followed by incumbent Jimmy Carter with 1,055 and independent John Anderson with 99. Carter made his concession speech at 9:51 p.m. Tuesday before the final count of Rappahannock ballots and prior to the polls even closing in California. Returns showed the incumbent carrying only Georgia, West Virginia and Rhode Island for 74 electoral votes. Reagan had won or was leading with 384 electoral votes, well over the 270 he needed to be elected. The Republican challenger i carried four of the county’s precincts—Amissville, Flint Hill, Sperryville and Woodville. Only Washington and Chester Gap went for Carter. Of the total 2,367 votes cast in the presidential race, Reagan took 49 per cent. Carter 44 per cent and Anderson 4 per cent. The Rappahannock News poll conducted by random telephone sampling of registered voters two weeks before the election showed Carter ahead with 41.5 per cent, Reagan with 30 per cent and a whopping 22 per cent still undecided. Once at the polls, most of those undecideds apparently opted for the Republican. Representative J. Kenneth Robinson running unopposed in the 7th Congressional District was elected to a sixth term. In Rappahannock, unofficial returns gave the Republican incumbent 2,027 votes. All four constitutional amendments on the ballot won overhwelming support from county voters. The proposal for a mini-session of the General Assembly to give legislators an opportunity to override vetoes by the governor carried 1,332 to 644 in Rappahannock.Early returns steatewide showed the margin much closer. With 47 percincts reporting, the vote was 13,183 in favor and 12,471 opposed. On question two—whethei to decrease the limit of town and city indebtedness—the vote in Rappahannock was 1,268 yes and 619 no. Question three on extending local options for tax relief for the elderly to include nonconventional homes carried 1,575 to 375. The fourth question, whether to allow localities the option of giving businesses tax breaks for converting heating and (Continued on Page 7) V

Long Walkers Follow The Prince To D. C. By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Vwt Staff Writer "A country without honor is like a man without honor. It will always have problems,” said Yael Beck as she paused in Sperryville to rest on Friday after walking all night across the Blue Ridge Mountains. With the family horse pulling their homemade wagon. Yael. her husband John and their two small children trudged through Rappahannock as part of the Long Walk for Survival organized by the American Indian Movement. They stopped for only a few hours at the creek in front of Rainbown Stables, hoping to make Washington, D. C. by the following morning to meet the Long Walk’s main contingent from California. The Becks left West Point. Tennessee, near the Alabama border on September 9. Their aim and the goal of the long walkers from California is to draw attention to the failure of the U. S. Government to live up to its treaties with the original Americans. According to John Beck, a part Cherokee, others besides Indians are walking and riding across the country to the nation's capital. “AH four colors are involved. Indians cannot do it without help from honorable white people,” he said. “Since treaties with Indians were made in the name of all the people of the United States, all the people of the United States have a stake in seeing that the government’s promises are kept. So we’re going to the people—^In the beginning, there was the word and the word had honor. We want to give it honor again.” Beck said. Beck said. Once the long walkers reach Washington, they plan to meet with congressional leaders and other government officials. “We’ll see whoever’s going to listen,” Yael said. “But it’s not just the end —what happens this weekend—that’s important. We’ve talked to people all across the country, trying to raise the consciousness of Americans," she added. According to Yael, when the white man first reached these shores, there were 12 million Indians in the continental United States. Now, there are about one million. And while Indians are no longer dying from bullets fired by cavalry guns, spiritual and cultural genocide is still happening today, she Said. She' doesn’t expect the government to wake up immediately to the injustices its worked on the Indians for hundreds of years. She doesn't anticipate that all those treaties written with tribe after tribes will be pulled out of filing cabinets this weekend and finally enforced. But that's the goal she and her husband and hundreds like them are striving to reach. "We must have hope,” Yael emphasized repeatedly. It was this nebulous hope of influencing the government to live up to its promises that spurred the Becks to leave Tennessee almost two months ago. According to John, his family has come approximately 800 miles on foot and riding in their wagon since September 9. On Friday, they were worn out from the leg of their journey that saw them six miles outside of Harrisonburg at 7 a.m. the previous morning and in Sperryville at noon the next day. John and Yael trekked all night across the mountains besides their horse with the children asleep in the wagon. Prince Hussein, John’s gray Thoroughbred stallion, walked with head hanging low into the Rainbow Trail’s parking lot. But his neck arched and his ears pricked forward as John talked while leading him down to the Thornton River. Once in the water, the bridle and halter came off and Prince Hussein drank deeply, lifting his head to rest it on his friend’s shoulder and nudge gently against John's chest. After the horse had drunk his fill, John led him up to the bank to work on his hoofs. A farrier as well as a house painter, carpenter and organic gardiner. Beck has designed special boots for Prince Hussein to protect the animal's legs. He said he first got the horse as an 11 month old colt 13 years ago. "I was breaking horses to saddle, getting $250 per horse, and the man I worked for ran out of money. When he couldn’t pay me, I told him either give me the colt or 1 was leaving. I got the colt. He came back six months later and offered me $2,500 for him but I said this horse will never see a track. And he hasn’t. He’s seen the country instead." According to John and Yael. Prince Hussein has covered a total of 8,000 miles on travels with them across the U.S., reaching as far west as South Dakota. "He has at least 50 children in 20 states. The Amish in particular love him," Beck said. He added that he plans to take Prince Hussein up to Connecticut after the Long Walk so the horse can see kids while the Becks visit John’s mother. The Prince looked worn out on Friday and a little ribby but his coat shone, his eyes gleamed and after his rest, the gray stallion lifted his feet a little higher. Beck’s jaw muscles worked in anger as he relayed an incident which occured just before their rest stop. “Some man in a pick-up truck cut me off twice and yelled that I ought to feed my horse. What Prince Hussein just did might kill any other horse,” he said, stroking the Prince’s well muscled neck. Before putting the horse back into his traces, the long walker fed the 14-year-old stallion a bucket of grain, one of several he would eat through the day, according to Beck. “My son says he’s the prince of all horses. He has more miles per hoof in the United States than any other horse in the country." QUARTZ KC056S $59.50 '/] IfKD001S r $59.50 'Gold tone model KD002SS65 \fery fashionable. Very inexpensive.

FIREFIGHTING SCHOOLS are held annually at the Amissville firehouse grounds when classes range from the use and maintenance of ladders to fire safety inspections There is much to be gained from these schools and all of the instruction available is never enough. Fire company members would do well to take advantage of these schools. Rescue Association Holds Fire School The Rappahannock County Fire and Rescue Association held a special fire school on October 18 and 19 at the training site in Amissville. The two day course focused on structural firefighting and its hazards. Area firemen participated in the training session which -was led by Carl James and Paul Mauger, both of Chesterfield County, and R. C. Allen of Falls Church. The classes give area fire personnel an opportunity to learn safety procedures and firefighting skills needed to function in a hazardous environment with some degree of safety. The RCFRA’s annual fire school was held earlier on September 27-28 and October 4-5. Personnel attended classes ranging from learning to maintain and use ladders to properly conducting fire safety inspections. Firefighters need to know much more than just how to put water on a fire, according to an association officer. Some of the areas emphasized in training are building construction, electrical hazards and poisonous gases released by ++++ America's fastest growing major city is Houston, National Geographic says. various types of combustible materials, he said.

Illegal Hunting Sparks Night Closing In Park \ Wildlife poaching activities will again cause park rangers ! to close two sections of Shenandoah National Park to 1 vehicular travel during all f hours of darkness from i November 10 through t January 5, 1981, announced i Superintendent Robert R. [ Jacobsen today. The affected portions of | the Skyline Drive will be the 1 31-mile section from Front I Royal south to U.S. Highway 211 at Thornton Gap, and t the 39-mile section from Waynesboro north of U.S. Highway 33 at Swift Run Gap. The part roads in these areas will be closed at dusk each day and will re-open at 8 a.m. on the following mornings. The remaining section of the Skyline Drive, between U.S. Highways 211 and 33, which provides access to Big Meadows lodge and campground, will remain open as usual. “Several deer have already been killed this fall on Skyline Drive by poachers, and similar actions during the past five years have proved very successful in countering illegal hunting activities in these sections of the park,” Jacobsen stated. Jacobsen said that these nighttime closures have caused, little inconvenience to legitimate park visitors, and have permitted park rangers to concentrate their air patrols on known problem areas and increase contacts with hunters along the Park boundary. Park entrance stations will be staffed during the night hours. All hunting is prohibited within the Park, a wildlife sanctuary. Park neighbors are encouraged to report suspicious hunting activities by telephoning the Chief Park Ranger at 703999-2243.

The Sandhill Adventures Of Slate Mills Sugar And Rappahannock (As Told To Daphne Hutchinson) ‘‘We’re really rather special dogs, you know,” bragged Slate Mills Sugar, Irvin Kenyon’s 12-year-old English Setter, as she lay basking in the sun last week in front of her cozy colonial dog house. Sugar and her kid brother Rappahannock, the Kenyon’s ten-year-old setter, were recounting adventures from their recent hunting expedition to Nebraska. “Every dog has his day and we certainly had ours. Though I dare say there are ways I’d rather spend summer’s last warm weather than bouncing across country to some prickly sand hills.” She sighed with satisfaction and you could almost see the old dog lift her paw to give herself a little pit on the back.” The Master doesn't enjoy hunting if we're not with him. If he’s said it once, he's said it a thousand times—hunting’s just not hunting unless it’s with dogs. But I’ve spent 12 years with the man and just between you and me, I think he uses hunting as an excuse to get out in the woods for a walk. It’s kind of a busman’s holiday for him. He works for the game commission. Used to be warden right here in Rappahannock—now he’s over in Fauquier supervising the old Apple Manor Wildlife Preserve.” She shook her head. “You’d think he'd get his fill of tromping through the forests during work hours and be content to loll around the house here at Slate Mills and relax for his vacation. But not Irvin Kenyon,” said Sugar, scratching behind one of her silky black and white ears. No, he s always on the go,” agreed Rapp, panting in exhaustion at just the memory of last month’s sandhills hunting expedition. "I was hoping he’d take the family to Disney World and give us a chance to take it easy, lying around with old Jackson. You know Jackson. iHe’s that fat beagle that lives tip in the big house. He’s not much good for anything. Couldn't catch a rabbit if it was standing in front of him and waving a flag but he sure barks a good show. Sounds like a real professional,” said Rapp with just a hint of a sneer in his voice. The brown and white setter stretched lazily and gave a big yawn at the memory of the vacation rest that wasn’t. "Anyway, old Irv . . . ” “You watch yourself there, Rappahannock. Show a little respect for the fyand that feeds you,” snapped Sugar. “Sorry sis,” Rapp apologized, hanging his head and looking contrite. “As I was saying, the Master got it nto his head to drive out to Nebraska with his friend Jack Gynne, another game commission fellow, to hunt sharp tailed grouse and prairie chickens. Of course, we were to go along. He’d never go hunting without us,” added Rapp as he strutted proudly back and forth at the end of his chain. "Don’t go giving yourself airs,” Sugar warned. “The Master wrote first, checking to see if those strange birds would set for dogs. His friends from out there told him that grouse and prairie chickens went wild in cold weather bu^that as long as it stayed warm, we’d be of some use.” “So he loaded us into this bouncy little contraption and took off. If the SPCA folks had seen us, they’d have blown the whistle for sure,” Rapp continued, cringing as he recalled the trip to Nebraska in the dog trailer. “Now, it wasn’t that bad. The Master stopped regularly to let us out for a run.” “Hah, you can tell it any way you want to but 1 know,” Rapp barked back. "Besides, you were so busy earning doggie points that you jumped right back in after every stop just as soon as he called, acting like you even liked riding in the thing. Admit it—you remember Jack Gynne telling Master that we deserved a meritorious flying award for that trip. Every time the car hit a bump, we went flying. That trailer spent more time in the air than on the road.” Finished with yelping at his sister, Rapp turned back to his audience. “We were a little worse for wear when we arrived, believe me,” he said. “That’s just an excuse for our lackluster performance,” Sugat; interrupted. “We didn’t do particularly well and it wasn’t because of the cold. I'm still ashamed—Master spent days sewing little leather boots for us so we wouldn’t get sand burrs in our feet.” The only thing is, the dumb things wouldn’t stay on. And you should have seen yourself trying to walk in them—you looked like you were stepping on eggs,” Rapp chortled i pointing his pay at Sugar. “Those burrs were rotten—we needed more than leather boots to keep them off. I even got one stuck up my nose. How embarassing! Master had'to get it out for me." :. “When I tried to pull them off my feet, they’d get stuck in my lip—it was awful. And then there was the cactus. Boots didn’t protect us from that either,” said Sugar, agreeing but with reluctance. “It’s not an excuse but you should have seen the territory. Miles and miles of flat sand barely covered with this puny grass and not a tree in sight. It sure was rough on this old boy,” said Rapp, shivering at the memory. “No self-respecting quail would have been caught dead on those sandhills. There were a few marsh areas—there’s all this water just under the sand's surface—and ducks by the thousands but we’re setters, not retrievers so big deal.” “It was huge out there. They measure land in sections, not acres, with 160 acres in just a quarter section," added Sugar. “We're used to running through a hay field to the fence line where the birds hide for cover.

They can do the same work at your home. ' All summer long the shade trees intercept and absorb the sun’s heat, at the same time transpiring cooling water. With your house shielded from the impact of the sun’s rays, inside temperatures are kept lower - power consumption for the air conditioner is down. Even if you don’t have an air conditioner, those beautiful gifts of nature can help you be more comfortable. Differences of eight degrees in temperatur^hav^b^^ recorded between shaded and unshaded outdoor surfaces. As winter approaches, the clever shade trees shed their leaves to let the sun shine through to help warm up your home. Incidentally, shade trees will do their work most effectively if they are arranged on the south and west sides of the building. They should be no less than about 20 feet from the house so they won’t crowd the walls once they’re fully grown.

Why anybody would want to eat one is beyond me,” spat Rapp, the expression on his face the same as a four year old facing a plate of hied liver and onions. "Master got 18 and Jack bagged 17 in their eight days of hunting. At least Master won but its like the contest where first prize is one week in Philadelphia and second prize is two weeks. At least they didn’t make us eat that garbage. They gave it to the folks who let us use their land. The looked glad to get the birds—they must have liked liver,” said Rapp shaking his head in bewilderment. “A couple of times of retrieving one of those jokers was enough for me. I didn't want to touch another one. But Master caught on fast. He’d watch us real carefully and could tell where the grouse came down ’cause we’d get close to one of those birds and then turn around and go the other way.” “But I enjoyed the runs and it was nice seeing new territory,” Sugar interjected. “It was better off at home. After that first night of camping in the great outdoors, Master and Jack got the right idea and moved into town to the Basset rodeo and fair grounds. They had things pretty plush, even private bathrooms with one using the ’■■■■■■■■ = ladies’ facilities and the other the mens’. I might have liked it better too if our quarters could have been a little more luxurious than that tee tiny dog trailer,” Rapp complained. "And you should try going for a swim out there. Sugar and I went diving into this big hole in the ground that looked just like a round pond. Imagine our surprise when we discovered that it was a pit those Npbraskaners use to pump oil into that’s mixed with water and underneath that nice looking top layer, it’s all black sticky stuff. Master laughed but at least he gave us a bath. “Those little old ladies out there had the right idea. Every morning when we’d get ready to head out for the sand hills, they’d say ‘Oh, you’re not going to make those poor old things hunt birds, are you?’ Now, I bristled a little at being referred to as a poor old thing but the thought of giving up on bird hunting sure got my vote,” Rapp said. “Take that back. You know if you fell over dead on a bird hunt, you’d die happy,” Sugar corrected. “You’re right sis,” Rapp agreed. ‘But that just applies to Rappahannock quail. 1 never did like liver anyway.” H—I—I—h John Madison Randolph, grandson of Thomas Jefferson, was the first baby born in the White House. +++-1 Register for $25 Mere handles Certificate — to be given away In each ► store weekly, or — win a V J.P.

Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6,1980 They Need Y our Help On Saturday of the house tour weekend, the Washington Volunteer Fire Department cleared $90 from cider sales. It’s a respectable return on five hours of labor from four or five volunteers who gave free blood pressure checks in between their shifts at the old fashioned hand press but just a drop in the bucket compared to the company’s financial need. The Washington Volunteer Fire Department and the rest of the county’s fire and rescue organizations are desperate. They need personnel and they need money from the communities they’ve volunteered to serve. Washington is probably in the worst financial state of all with $6,000 in bills and only a few hundred dollars in the bank. The WVFD faces a cash flow problem of staggering proportions. The department does have assets which far exceed its debts, providing insurance for creditors that it won’t default on loans. But to turn those assets into cashs, the firemen must sell their building and equipment, disbanding the fire company. The WVFD needs between $10,000 and $15,000 annually just to keep running. Expenses include payments on a $30,000 mortgage, gas bills for vehicles which almost get gallons to the mile instead of miles to the gallon and tremendously high insurance bills for vehicles, buildings and personnel. As an example of the premiums fire companies must pay, it cost the Amissville Volunteer Fire Department almost $5,000 to reinstate coverage after fire partially destroyed the company’s building several months ago.l?) Not a single company in the county has much new equipment. The price is prohibitive. And with second-hand trucks come maintenance bills. Heating the buildings adds another couple thousand to operating expenses. While the thermostats can be turned down, they can’t be turned off. It is a necessity—not a luxury—to keep the buildings warm and prevent the water in the pumpers from freezing. Costs of smaller pieces of equipment add up with running gear amounting to between $400 and $500 per person. Each truck carries more than 1,000 feet of hose, an item which wears out frequently and must be replaced for about $350 per 50 foot section. On the other side of the ledger, using 1979-80 as an example, the WVFD collected about $2,000 in its annual fund drive plus another $1,000 in contributions interspersed throughout the year. The pick-up truck project brought in $1,000, the bull roast another $1,000, the benefit Redskin basketball game $700, July Fourth activities $1,800 and the shooting match $1,000. In addition, the town contributes $500. From the county comes payment of bills for Culpepers dispatch service and the radio assessment along with a donation of $1,000 to the Rappahannock Fire and Rescue Association for training materials. The county, however, provides no monetary support directly to the companies to defray operating expenses. In addition, WVFD’s Ladies Auxiliary raises approximately $2,000 annually from thrift shop sales but the fluids haven’t been donated to the fire department for several years because the ladies are saving to pay for a kitchen at the new fire hall. Adding everything together, Washington ended up in the hole last year with about $9,000 in cash to pay bills totalling over $10,000. The picture may not be as bad for the county’s other fire companies but all need increased financial support. The same inflation that has pinched family budgets and made it harder to find the few extra dollars to donate has sent the fire company’s costs soaring. Along with money, the companies need more volunteers. In Washington, six to eight people run most of the calls, raise most of the money and tackle most of the maintenance projects. Only a handful of names on membership rolls are doers. The rest may have good intentions but intentions peter out in face of demands on time. The firemen themselves can help with the plight of the county’s fire departments. Apparently, we need seven companies because Rappahannock’s population is so scattered and, according to firemen, home insurance rates are based in part on the miles to fre house. Because of distances involved, the companies can’t combine to pool manpower and cut costs. But they can cooperate on equipment and planning and take advantage of the State Fire Commission’s study to find ways to improve coverage. Unfortunately, each company jealously guards its autonomy and many firemen find mutual cooperation synonmous with letting someone else run the whole show. If the county’s fire departments are to survive, firemen must implement the kind of sharing Flint Hill and Washington have reached. Flint Hill has a brush truck but no tanker. Washington has a tanker but no brush truck. Instead of struggling to raise the money for extra equipment which is needed only a few times a year, the two companies run calls together, complementing each other. But more important than internal cooperation, the fire companies need cooperation from the citizens they serve. There are only three options open—we must support our volunteer fire fighters and rescue personnel with voluntary contributions or we must support them with tax dollars. The final option is to do away with fire and rescue service. It’s up to us to decide. And the decision can’t be put off. If we wait too long before digging down into our pockets for donations bankruptcy may take the decision out of our hands. Culpeper Conservation District Honored Virginia’s Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District won top honors in the 33rd annual Goodyear Conservation Awards Program. The first place district was selected by the state judging committee on the basis of its accomplishments in resource management, Ray Oviatt, awards program director, announced in Akron, Ohio. The Culpeper District comprises the counties of Culpeper, Greene, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock with district headquarters in Culpeper. The district is a legal political subdivision of the State of Virginia with responsibility for protecting the land, water, forest and wildlife resources. The five-county District is governed by a board of 12 directors, 10 of whom are elected in the general election and two appointed at large by the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Commission. The district has one associate director. Directors receive no compensation for their services. The competition is sponsored by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in cooperation with the National Association of Conservation Districts. The program emphasizes the concepts of planning for service, organizing to give that service and evaluation of district services through the Evaluation Guide. Entry in the program requires two steps: (1) Submission of an annual plan of work, and U) completion of the Evaluation Guide and submission, along with an annual report, to the state judging committee at the year’s end. The Evaluation Guide takes into consideration program complexity, geographical location and rural-urban problems. Gordon Thornhill, Boston, chosen by the Culpeper District as its outstanding cooperator, and Rapley Owings, director from Rappahannock County and presently secretary of the Culpeper District, will represent the Culnener SWCD on the grand prize tour, an expenses-paid, vacation-study tour to the Wigwam resort and Goodyear Farms, Litchfield Park, Arizona, in December. They will be joined by representatives of 52 other first place districts from throughout the United States. In addition, a plaque will be presented the Culpeper District at the 42nd annual meeting of the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts in Charlottesville on December 2, 1980. Drama Group Organizing Anyone interested in little theater for Rappahannock is invited to attend a special planning meeting at the Rappahannock County Library on Thursday, November 6, at 7:30 p.m. Potential actors, directors, set designers, make-up artists, costume designers, lighting experts and producers are WITH THE OPENING of *. fonhunting in Rappahannock d,.ayed a farm of N.'ulie EmTry^widTiS'e.e<,ger P‘“ •» ge, on ndU, a chaae. The hnn, opened a, the Lettc Thel Volunteer To the editor: Have you ever wondered what goes on in that newly painted building at the Sperryville Bridge? If you know, have you ever thought of it other than when it is needed or when you see the orange and white vehicle wail past? To those who didn’t know, it is the Sperryville Volunteer Rescue Squad. At present the organization is comprised of approximately 25 members, less than half that number active members. The rescue squad and the fire department are two different organizations, yet some members belong to both. Since summer you may have noticed the area around the building has been cleaned, the building front painted, and new lights installed. It is the hope of Captain Julian S. Brown that upon completion of the interior, classes may be started for the general public in basic first aid and CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation). CPR is the procedure used to reestablish circulation of blood and movement of air into and out of the lungs in a person who is not breathing and who has no pulse. It is most commonly used on victims of heart attack. This procedure has already been attributed with saving countless numbers of lives. The Sperryville Rescue Squad is operated on a volunteer basis, and new members are highly encouraged and needed. Special skills are not needed to join; caring, loving and wanting to help our neighbor or perhaps a member of our own family are first priority. For those who wish, special training is available from basic first aid to EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) training and beyond. The Rescue Squad is a vital part of our community, without it we must think of file consequences. We need >rs To Editor i Needed volunteers, so the first Monday of the month at 7:30 pm., at our monthly meeting, why not stop in and find out what does go on in that newly painted white building? BARBARA SHARAN, S.V.R.S. Thanks The Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department would like to give special thanks to the Sperryville Emporium and Huey Atkins for sponsoring last Saturday's benefit auction. In addition, we want to express our appreciation to buyers, donators, members of the fire department and volunteers who assisted during the sale. The auction was a huge success, thanks to help from all the fire department's friends. Charles K. Estes Unemployment Up In County According to preliminary figures for September released by the Virginia Employment Commission's Manpower Research Unit, Rappahannock has the highest unemployment rate in the five county Rappahannock-Rapidan Planning District Commission. VEC set unemployment here at 8.6 per cent with 210 unemployed out of a labor force of 2,455. By comparison, Culpeper and Orange have a rate of 5.5 per cent, Madison 5.1 per cent and Fauquier 4.2 per cent. The national unemployment rate for September was 7.1 per cent compared to 7.5 per cent for August. The state unemployment rate remained exactly the same in Virginia between mid-August and mid-September at 136,200 or 5.4 per cent of the labor force. While the national rate has dropped and the state unemployment rate has remained static, the percentage of out-of-work in Rappahannock has increased over the past several months. Vti June, the county's unemployment rate was 7.7 per cent, in July 7.1 per cent and in August 7.3 per cent. According to Rappahannock’s supervisor of social services Elizabeth Buntin, the increase in unemployment has bearing on applications for welfare programs. “We have seen a considerable increase in food stamp applications here,” said Mrs. Buntin. “I attribute it directly to the state of the economy. Rappahannock has a lot of poor people and they’re the first to feel the pinch of a recession.” She added that food stamp applications were up across the entire state, not just in the county. Historical Data Wanted „ Recently Kathy Kiley and Helen Holschuh did an • inventory of all items currently in the possession of the Rappahannock County Historical Society. They have turned up some very interesting items, such as a 100-year-old account of a spectacular murder in 1 Harris Hollow and the ensuing trial, petitions for reparations for horses and supplies the Yankees took during the Civil War, and a 1926 newspaper account of what the motoring tourist should see in the Blue Ridge town of Sperryville. “We treasure all these items but realize that there are many, many gaps in our knowledge of Rappahannock history,” said Mrs. Holschuh. “For instance, we have a good deal on who did what in the Civil War, but almost nothing on the First and second World Wars and surely someone from this county was in the Spanish American War.” The Historial society would like to fill in these gaps with your help. If you have any of the following items that you would be willing to have the society copy, or you would like to give the original, it would be appreciated. Genealogies: there are a few, but not enough. Almost every week, someone calls or writes the library, the Historical Society or local historians with a question. If you have a family genealogy, please send a copy to the Historical Society. Pictures: Photographs of the county the "way it was ’ before the four-lane was put in. of that cabin on your property, of your greatgrandparents celebrating their 50th anniversary would be appreciated additions. Cemeteries: There must be a hundred or more private cemeteries in the county. Needed are inventories of the graves in these cemeteries. Take some sunny afternoon and write down names and dates of the people in your cemetery. Newspaper Clippings: Knowledge of families their successes, the obituary of your great-grandfather, graduations, fires, wind-'' storms, whatever your family thought important enough to clip out. Letters: Letters from even 30 years ago make interesting reading if it is about a local event or a prominent citizen. Maybe this is where information on Rappahannock people in the World Wars could be obtained. Memoirs: Sometimes an ancestor will have kept a diary, or written something down for his grandchildren. Black History: There is a special need for genealogies of black families and histories of black churches. If you are willing to loan the Historical Society documents for copying or are willing to part with any of the above items, please call Virginia Miller Lindstrom at 675-3623 or Helen Holschuh 937-4721. They will arrange pick up. Teachers Are Concerned Virginia schools are safer and less disrupted than in many other parts of the country, but Virginia teachers and Rappahannock teachers are increasingly concerned at the loss of teaching time, learning time and tax dollars caused by school misbehavior. Teachers have a long history of working to improve discipline through the Virginia Education Association. The VEA has paid for a statewide conference on school violence and vandalism, featuring the FBI director. It has conducted a two-year study on students chronically absent from school. This year alone, the VEA’s instruction and human relations divisions will spend some S60.000 in workshops for teachers, school administrators and the community—all aimed at improving discipline. Rappahannock teachers would like to get parents involved in dealing with school discipline, too, because they believe that parents and teachers working together can accomplish a lot. In Miami, Fla., a parentteacher cooperative project reduced student mis-behavior in school by one-third. We’d like to do as well here. Teachers know that high expectations, hope and encouragement of their students produce surprising and pleasing results. On the other hand, low expectations are usually met with poor results. Children (like most of us) usually do what is expected of them—if they know what that is. “That’s why it is important for parents and teachers to discuss basic behavior with children, to let them know what’s expected,” said a Rappahannock Teachers’ Association spokesperson. “Let your children know you expect politeness and good manners. Tell them how they should behave in school, in theaters, in shopping malls, in church or synagogue, while driving the family car. Let your children know your tax dollars paid for school property and that you expect it to be taken care of,” encouraged the RTA officers. “Children of any age, no matter how much they protest, like to know what's expected of them and appreciate the guidance of adults in their lives. Discipline, to them, is proof you care,” he said. —Rtpp«haaoock N«wi Photo/9.

BZA Grants Permit For Garage Apartment By Daphne Hutchinson At a special meeting held election day morning, the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals unanimously approved issuance of a special use permit to George Cook for construction of an apartment over a two-car garage on his 1.6 acre lot near Flint Hill. On August 19, Cook first applied for the permit, required for a second dwelling unit on a lot in an agricultural district. At its September 11 meeting, the BZA passed his application on to the supervisors, asking for clarification. At Tuesday’s reconvened session, zoning secretary Patty Alexander read a letter from supervisor chairman E. P. Luke stating that the supervisors had no objection to the permit, finding Cook’s proposed use “not unlike similar situations that exist throughout the county.” Luke noted that the lot had been deeded to Cook by his father in 1970 prior to the adoption of the county zoning ordinance in 1973, thus making the lot legal as a non-conforming use. In addition, the supervisor chairman wrote, the ordinance allows deeding of up to five par&ls by a landowner to parents or children if the property was owned before 1962, a criteria that Cook also meets. “Had this been explained by the zoning administrator earlier or if he had looked into it, we could have saved Mr. Cook a trip over here and a day’s pay,” remarked BZA chairman Josef Gardiner. Before voting to grant the permit, the BZA members reminded Cook that his special use permit allows only the construction of an Veterans Day Service In Culpeper EDGAR F. PURYEAR A Veteran’s Day Service is scheduled for 11 a.m. at Culpeper National Cemetery on November 11, sponsored by the American Legion Post 330.

The Culpeper County High School band under the direction of James Sheldrake will present the National Anthem and other selections. A rifle salute will be rendered by men of the 3rd Bn., 1st Brigade, 80th Division, Tng., U.S. 2524 and American Leion Post 330. Dr. Puryear formerly taught international relations, economics and business law at the University of Virginia and has served as civilian attorney to the Judge Advocate General School of the United States Army at Charlottesville. He was assistant dean of the faculty, air training officer, jodo coach and political science instructor while stationed at the U. S. Air Force Academy. Dr. Puryear was graduated from the University of Maryland with a B. S. degree and received his M. A. in International Relations from the University of Denver; M. A. and Ph. D. in Political Science and History from Princeton University and an LLB from the University of Virginia. r®hituari*H Settle Otha Mellon Settle, Sr., 66, of Eggbornsville, died Sunday, November 2, 1980 at his residence.

Inquiring into the status of numerous automobiles on the adjoining lot, Gardiner also pointed out _ that county ordinances prohibit automobile graveyards. Co A replied that the vehicles belong to his brother and that all are operable and all but two licensed and insured. In approving the special use permit, the BZA emphasized that the action is not to be construed as setting a precedent for future zoning requests. np lax Hearing (Continued from Page 1) proposing that a public hearing on personal property taxes also be held at the board’s December 1 meeting. In addition, he asked Baumgardner to check with the attorney general’s office for clarification on what classifications of property can be exempted from local tax rolls. High Bid Taken back by a single bid of $2,288, the supervisors agreed to delay a decision on installation of gasoline bulk storage tanks at the school bus garage until after superintendent of schools William Bloomer attempts to secure additional offers. The installation estimate raises the total price for the tanks to $6,412. Luke described the installation bid as a turn-key operation which will include setting the asphalt-covered tank in sand, backfilling with more" sand, wiring for electricity, hooking up galvanized pipes and covering the tank with six inches of stone. "When you add all that in, the bid’s not that high," he said. Luke added that it would be impractical for the supervisors to . subcontract the. job nut tP„one individual .to haul the sand, another to backhoe and another to wire the electrical pump to the tank. “It sounds like right much to me,” countered H. B. Wood, suggesting that since the project has waited years after first being proposed by the school board, another month won’t hurt. The board authorized Luke to award a contract for installation after Bloomer tries first to get additional bids. In other action, the board issued a bingo permit to the Sperryville Fire Company to run weekly games from June 30 to July 4, dates for next year’s carnival. According to the report to the supervisors, the fire department had quarterly receipts of SS76, $675, $602 and $545 from last year’s bingo games. Reagan (Continued from Page 1) , cooling systems from oil and gas to wood, coal or other alternative fuels, carried 1,220 to 650. , Statewide, early returns indicated that questions two, three and four would carry by substantial margins. Despite the rain that drizzled down most of the day, voter turn-out was higher than in the FordCarter contest four years ago. In '1976, 76 per cent of Rappahannock’s registered voters cast ballots. This year, registration was up 11 per - cent from 2,622 to 2,930 and 81.9 per cent of the voters played a part in determining the next president of the United States. A local politician described the gray, • rainy day as "Republican weather." Apparently, he was right.

Rapp Chats »•<•«•* « By RAPOWINGS VPI Extension A^ent Africohurr Weather this fall in Rappahannock has lacked only one ingredient to make it absolutely perfect. Rain. We just don’t seem to be able to get enough gentle, soaking rain to saturate the soil. Even the soil surface stays so dry and hard, it is practically impossible to pull an accurate soil sample. Kinzy Buracker, the goodnatured young man who takes soil samples for the Rappahannock Farmers Cooperative, told me that in order to get soil samples at Col. Evan McNear’s farm, he had to take a hammer to drive, the soil tube into the ground. What I am leading into is to pull those samples as soon as practical. Make enough random samples in each field to reflect adequately its needs. Then mix the soil thoroughly. If you do a conscientious job of sampling, the soil analysis results will give you reasonably accurate recommendations upon which to base your fertilizer and lime program. Decide which fields are going to give you the most return on your lime and fertilizer investment. Then, where practical, get your lime and fertilizer on this fall and early winter. There are many advantages. You call the shots, have time to bargain and often get a discount in prices. There is less soil compaction and nutrients are available when the plants need them next spring. Most of our perennial forage crops, such as alfalfa, red clover, clover-grass hays or pasture should be fertilized now. Applications of phosphorus and potassium this fall will help maintain stands through the winter and insure an adequate supply of these nutrients for early growth next spring. On grass stands, delay nitrogen applications until late winter. This will avoid leaching losses and the Amissville Area News Weekend visitors of Mr. and Mrs. F. L.

Review Earnings With the year almost over, now is a good time for people who get social security checks and who are working to review their earnings, Bruce A. Hundley social security district manager in Culpeper, said recently. It may be that a person has earned more or less than he or she expected and this could affect social security • checks, Hundley said. The general rule is that a person can receive all checks for the year if earnings do not exceed the annual exempt amount. In 1980, this amount is SS.000 for people 65 or older and $3,720 for people under 65. If earnings exceed the annual exempt amount, then $1 in benefits is withheld for each S2 of earnings above the limit. lnts earnings test applies to all people under 72 getting checks except those getting checks because they are disabled. There is a monthly test that can be used the first year a person has a month he or she does little work even though annual earnings exceed the limit. Under this test, a person can get a check for any month he or she earns less than the monthly limit or does little work in self-employment, Hundley said. The 1980 monthly limit is $417 for people 65 or over and $310 for people under 65. People should remember that gross pay counts for purposes of the earnings test, not just take home pay. A person who finds that he or she is earning significantly more or less than expected should notify social security so that any needed adjustment can be made. More information about the earnings test can be obtained from the Culpeper social security office. A free leaflet that explains the earnings test is available. The office is located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center and the telephone number is (703) 825-3500. Va. Teacher Pay Drops In Ranking New research findings from the National Education Association (NEA) show that Virginia teachers’ salaries are rapidly losing ground to those in other states. —Ten years and five years ago, Virginia teachers’ average salaries ranked 25th in the nation. Last year Virginia’s average salary ranked 32nd in the nation. —Over the past ten years, all but five states in the nation have advanced teachers' salaries at a greater rate than Virginia. The salary increases for Virginia teac*" 'rs have been exceeded by >oe rate of increase in all 12 Southern states except one. —The 1979-80 average salary increase for Virginia teachers was 5.55 percent (41st nationally) when the consumer price index rose 14.83 percent. —For the current school year the average starting salary of teachers in Tennessee is SI 1,102; in West Virginia it is S10.944; in North Carolina the minimum starting salary is SI2,390. Virginia’s average starting salary is $10,559. "Untortunateiy, discussions of a $10,000 minimum salary are woefully inadequate when compared to these facts,” said Walt Mika, Virginia Education Association (VEA) president. “The facts clearly show why a wide spectrum of state officials have recently called for teacher salary increases. 1 am very glad they have raised their voices collectively, and, in light of these most recent statistics, I urge them to raise their sights considerably. “The critical state of teachers’ salaries is of immediate and long-range concern,” Mika said. “Failure to even approach cost-of-living increases is making a mockery of teachers’ efforts to pay for basic necessities. We also need immediate relief to stem the flow of excellent teachers who are being forced by circumstances—and against their own wishes—to consider leaving a personally satisfying but Financially untenable profession. "For the longer term, we need to carefully consider whom do we want to teach our children? How many of even the most dedicated individuals will agree to start a career in Charles City County at $9,000 when private business offers so much more? How many of those who still choose to teach will be available to Virginia’s school systems when North Carolina’s ■ L-L N«m PWjIo/TWmi Ravaokk STIRRING UP A POT OF GYPSY SOUP for Halloween are these two gypsies at Natures Foods.

The NEA comparison shows that the general | revenue of state and local governments from their own sources for 1977-78 as a percent of 1978 personal income ranks Virginia 40th in the nation. In state tax revenue in 1977-78 as a percent of 1978 personal income Virginia ranks next to last among the Southern states and 37th in the nation. “These figures indicate that Virginia is still a low tax state that falls far below the majority of states in support of the public schools,” Mika said. Memorial Dedicated To Veraer The dedication and naming of a memorial reading room at the University of British Columbia in honor of Clarence "Coolie” Verner took place Sunday, October 26, at the school. The late Mr. Verner was the son of Mrs. A. M. Verner of Washington. He was a native of Portsmouth, Ohio, born April 25, 1917. The reading room was dedicated to the furtherance of adult education in which Professor Verner was active. He was the first chairman of the Commission of Professors of Adult Education providing and initiating role in two key publications. He co-authored publications in rural sociology and historical cartography, two diverse areas in which he was a scholar. Mr. Verner received his A. B. degree from the College of William and Mary in 1937, served in the U. S. Army from 1942 to 1947 and then completed graduate studies at that college three years later. He obtained a M. A. degree in 1951 from Columbia University of his Ed. D. the following year. Professor Verner was a Fulbright Fellow at the University of London in 1952-53, a professor of adult education at Florida State University 1953-61 and at the University of British Columbia from 1961 to 1977 when he retired. He died October 12, 1979, at Mayne Island, B. C.

The day care center’s after school enrichment program, now in its third year, offers a variety of courses to suit interests that range from karate to art. -Hunters, Be Prepared With the fall hunting season almost upon us, Virginia sportsmen should begin making preparations for their trips into the field. "This not only means marking hunting dates on a calendar and contacting landowners about hunting leases but getting field gear and 'desk chair physiques’ ready for the adventures ahead." said a Virginia Tech Extension specialist in safety. Firearms which have been stored since the last hunting season should be cleaned and checked. Special attention should be given to cleaning the bore and making sure the action works smoothly. “Sight In” rifles and handguns carefully. Even if you are sure that a gun has not been bumped or jarred since the last firing, it is a good policy to double check. This will prevent disappointment over a missed shot and will also get the shooter used to the 'feel' of his weapon again.” Good hunters restrict themselves to shooting only the kind of game they are equipped for. Persistence Moves Trash The influence one person can have on governmental decisions at the local level was demonstrated Monday at the November meeting of the Rappahannock supervisors. Mrs. Garland Sealock was back again after phone calls, letters and an appearance at last month’s meeting to repeat her request that another location besides across the street from her house be found for the dumpsters at Chester Gap. Even now, with the dumpsters further away, Mrs. Sealock told the board, she has to spend time picking up garbage that has blown into her front yard. In addition, she reported that local men use to devote approximately two hours per week to picking up trash before Sunday services when the dumpsters were next to the church in Chester Gap. “We're going to set the dumpsters at the gravel pile (on highway department right-of-way) so you can rest easy, ’ Wakefield supervisor Hubert Gilkey assured Mrs. Sealock. “See, persistence paid off,” concluded chairman E. P. Luke as Mrs. Sealock thanked the board members for their cooperation. Archers should be getting ready to hunt by carefully checking their equipment, sharpening broadheads and practicing with silhouette field targets. These targets, especially those which are life size, get the archer accustomed to firing at “vital spots" rather than just “ at the deer." A good rule when hunting is to always identify the intended target before firing a shot or loosening the arrow. Following this rule will help reduce hunting accidents. “Most hunters carry some type of a cutting tool for dressing game. These knives, hand axes or bone saws should be sharpened. A dull knife in the field is not only frustrating but is more dangerous than a properly honed one," noted the Extension specialist. Checking wearing apparel well in advance of the day it is needed will add to the comfort of the hunt. Clothing with snags or tears from last season needs repair. Clothing should be matched to the expected temperature and weather conditions. Footwear is especially important for a painful blister can ruin an otherwise enjoyable hunting experience. Check boot stitching and oil the leather for comfort and protection. Break in new boots around the house before starting out on a long day’s hunt. “In addition to checking this gear, the smart hunter prepares himself physically for the field. Many of us work at jobs which don’t allow us to stay in the shape for our once-a-year hunting trips. Perhaps the best solution is to start early with sensible exercise. This may mean just walking every day or it may include jogging for the hunter who will pursue game which requires strenuous effort. “Remember, more hunters Last Night 7:30 ‘JUrataM” (ps) ♦ MAU1S IOMODQO* r \ The Army was no laughing [ matter until Judy Beniamin joined it.
