According to his father, Holschuh had traveled to Las Vegas with his fiance, Cathy Sanders, for a belated birthday celebration. The couple, both residents of Vail, Colorado, died of asphyxiation. Authorities at the hotel fire scene, second worst in U.S. history, believe the blaze began in electrical circuitry above the delicatessen on the main floor and smoldered before exploding and propelling thick smoke upwards into elevator shafts. Fire alarms in the hotel failed to operate. Most of the victims died of smoke inhalation. Rod Davies, a fraternity brother and business partner of young Holschuh, called the family with the news early Saturday morning. Capt. and r Mrs. Holschuh had watched stories of the fire carried on television but until the 5:30 a.m. call did not know their son was in Las Vegas, according to Capt. Holschuh. Tax Deadline Friday, December 5, 1980, is the deadline for paying 1980 personal property and real estate taxes for 1980. According to Mrs. Frances Foster, Treasurer, a penalty of 10 percent will be added beginning December 6 and on the first day of January interest at the rate of 8 percent will be charged. Mrs. Foster asks that anyone who failed to receive a lax bill or those who have any questions concerning their bill contact her at her office in Washington, 6753334. —Rappahannock New* Phioto/S.

Washington Mill Named To fw , t*-- K .' f.- V /.*. ? ■ p* ,?» **#**■ y* "m*-—.»>- 5-j** Richmond—The Virginia Historic Landmarks Comftiission has announced the addition of Washington Mill in Rappahannock County to the Virginia Landmarks Register. The register is the state’s official list of properties worthy of preservation and embraces buildings, structures. sites, and districts prominently identified with Virginia history and culture from prehistoric times to the present. A visually important architectural and historic resource on the eastern edge of the Washington Historic District, Washington Mill served as the town mill of Washington from the early national period until the end of the 19th century. While there is no evidence to prove conclusively that the existing structure incorporates elements of a mill erected on this site before 1779, it is certain that the earliest part of the present building was standing by 1800, with additions in 1840 and 1860. The mill, which retains much of its antebellum machinery in good repair, is significant as a well-' preserved artifact of the grain and milling industry that figured largely in the 19th century economy of Virginia. The structure is believed to have served also as a neutral bartering place between Union and Confederates lines during the Civil War. The documentation of ownership of this property is , very dear. Deeds indicate that the site first was named Redd’s Mill and later Rush Mills. Locally, the mill became known by the names of its various owners, almost all of whom were early settlers of Rappahannock County or their descendants. The land on which the mill stands once formed part of a Northern Neck grant on the Rush River received by John or Francis Strother in 1748. Acquiring additional holdings through the years, they and other members of the Strother family rose to prominence as merchants, mill owners, and influential citizens of Culpeper County in the period before Rappahannock County was formed from Culpeper in 1833. In 1777 the Strother heirs sold to Mordecai Redd a tract of 430 acres on the Rush River adjacent to their own land. A mill stood on this site, probably built by Redd between 1777-79, and possibly the original portion of the structure standing today. Two years later Redd sold the tract to George Calvert, Jr., a planter who already held substantial acreage in the area. The increased sale price could indicate that Redd had improved, rather than built, a mill, but there is no further evidence to substantiate this. The activity of mill operations at this early date in the area is illustrated by a 1778 petition to the House of Delegates “of sundry inhabitants of Culpeper County," who complained that they had been deprived M “of formerly large catches of fish in the rivers by several grist mills, hedges, stops and dams that have been built...(and) got it obstructed...” The Commonwealth, which had regulated mills since 1645, required mill owners or proprietors of mills to keep openings and slopes clear. The petitioners therefore prayed that "your hon’ble House will take their case...and oblige the owners...of the sd. mill dam to make openings...” In three transactions dated 1787, 1794, and 1800, the Calverts sold the mill and adjacent land to the Garwoods, who may have worked as millers for the Calverts before they became proprietors in their own right. The Garwoods long after they had sold the mill are mentioned in deeds dated 1819 and 1822 as having been early occupants of the site. Philip Slaughter bought the mill tract in 1805 from the Garwoods for S6.000. As the deed recording this exchange specifically mentioned a grist mill and a saw mill, it is certain that the original portion of the existing structure was built before Slaughter’s proprietorship, probably as an improvement of the Garwoods. Slaughter and his wife sold the property to Jermiah Strother, a descendant of the same family that received the original grant of the property in 1748. Within a year Strother lost it to pay a debt, and it was sold at auction to Samuel Berkeley. Berkeley owned the mill until 1819, when it was purchased by George Calvert, Jr. By this t ire at .ft;. time the acreage of the tract gradually had been reduced and stabilized at 25 acres. William Pendleton bought the property in 1822. Following his death in 1827, the mill remained in Pendleton’s estate until 1833 when his widow sold her interest to the mill tg Daniel Mason, a merchant and entrepreneur. By 1838 Mason was in deep financial trouble. The mill, now called “Rush Mills,” and the tract of 25 acres were among his assets auctioned at the Rappahannock Courthouse in 1840. Elijah Cheek, a large landowner and merchant, was the highest bidder at $3,000. Cheek probably was responsible for the first of two recorded additions to the earlier structure. In 1840 the (Continued on Page 4) t i. WASHINGTON MILL, located just east of Washington on the Rush River has been included in the Virginia Historic Landmarks register, the official list of properties worthy of preservation. The mill served as the town mill of Washington until the end of the 19th century. Built circa 1800 with subsequent additions in 1800 and 1860, the mill retains much of its antebellum machinery in good repair. It is believed to have served as a neutral bartering place between Union and Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. Planners Endorse Use Value Taxation By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer “Take the strength of agriculture away from this nation and we just might be a second rate power...I'm not sure if use value taxation will preserve agriculture but it’s something positive that can be done.,” said Newbill Miller as the Rappahannock planning commissioners at Wednesday’s meeting voted unanimously to recommend lhat the county supervisors adopt a use value taxation ordinance. Under enabling legislation passed by the Virginia General Assembly as a tool to combat the disappearance of farm land to more urbanized uses, localities may opt to tax agricultural, horticultural, forestal and open space land at its use rather than speculative value. In other words, a county may choose to assess property taxes on land based on its worth in apple, corn or limber production rather than its worth as a subdivision lot. With use value taxation, worth per acre is determined by the actual production capacity of the land. A locality tnay make its own determinations or use figures established by the Slate Land Evaluation Advisory Committee. To qualify for land use, applicants must meet criteria on minimum acreage. Under the agricultural category, parcels must be five acres or larger and have been in agricultural use for the five previous years. Horticultural and open space parcels must also be a minimum of five acres and forest tracts a minimum of 20 acres. Under the program, the difference between use value tax and tax on fair market value is deferred. If a landowner receiving the special assessment tax changes the use of his property to a nonqualifying use —by developing an apple orchard into a subdivision, for instance—then ' the deferred taxes become due for a rollback period of five years. In addition, the landowner is charged eight per cent interest on the deferred taxes, a rate which may be increased by the General Assembly. A locality may make any or all of the four categories—agricultural, forestal, horticultural and open space—eligible for special land use assessment. Four Recommended Newbill Miller, Pete Estes. David Thornhill and Allen Stokes, the planning commissioners at Wednesday’s meeting, agreed that Rappahannock County should allow land use for all four categories. Under enabling legislation, each parcel of land under the same ownership, even if (Continued on Page 4) SOQ Report Submitted, There were no "nays” and no abstentions in the decision on an audit report deadline handed down at the Rappahannock school board’s November 11 meeting. But with one exception, the "ayes”—if they were voiced at all—were delivered with fetch lade of enthusiasm that the vote was inaudible just a few feet away. In the minute book, however, it went down as unanimous. "Feet are being dragged here for whatever the reason,” charged Robert Eastham after superintendent William Bloomer reported that the audit report requested by the board wasn’t ready for last Tuesday’s meeting. The board has indicated it favors instituting financial controls which will allow the school system’s accountants to complete an unqualified, full audit of the activity and cafeteria funds, a total of approximately S2SO.OOO. Accountant Jack Nicholas from the Culpeper firm of Young, Nicholas and Mills, was supposed to have finished his survey of the procedures which must be implemented and forwarded the information to Dr. Bloomer in time for the superintendent to give his report, including cost and possible personnel additions, at the board's November 11 meeting. According to Dr. Bloomer, the information from (Continued on Page 2) Beneficiary In Wood Estate Cancer Society Affirmed As By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock News Staff Writer The courtroom for last Thursday’s hearing on the disposition of the Wood estate looked like a bar association meeting as a gaggle of lawyers in somber shades of brown, charcoal gray and navy blue balanced legal pads on their knees, filling the first three rows of benches. At issue in Thursday's hearing was the division of more than SI.5 million, excluding real estate, left by Virginia Fletcher Wood of Sperryville. She and her husband, Robert Eugene Wood, died on August 28, 1979 when flood waters swept them off the bridge at Fletcher s Mill. In a will dated December 1, 1948, Mrs. Wood divided the bulk of her estate equally between the Virginia Division of the American Cancer Society and “the Slate of Virginia organization or foundation engaged in research concerning ailments of the heart and heart trouble.” Heirs have challenged the bequest to the heart association, maintaining that the identity of the beneficiary can’t be determined, that it could be the Virginia affiliate of the American Heart Association, the Medical College of Virginia, the University of Virginia Hospital or another Virginia Hospital or another Virginia organization doing heart research. They argue that half of the estate should be divided between Mrs. Wood’s heirs at law. Mr. and Mrs. Wood had no children and Mrs. Wood was an only child. Her legal heirs are ihe children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren of her father’s brother. William Meade Fletcher. The court lists James William Fletcher of Sperryville as the only first cousin; Anne Meade Smith Faulconer of Orange, Frances Smith Conoly Bedell of Arkansas and Joan Coxe Lange and Joan Fletcher Higgins of Pennsylvania, all as second cousins, and Mark Coxe Prime and Joan Prime, both of Pennsylvania, as third cousins. In addition. Mr. Wood’s heirs—nephews Sidney A. Wood and Ronald H. Wood of Virginia Beach and Thomas Norman Wood, Jr. of North Carolina and niece Lois Wood Eaton of Woodbridge—have questioned ihe order ol death, important since Virginia Wood predeceased her husband then the entire estate would pass to him and then on to his heirs. In his will dated February 20. 1948. Robert Eugene Wood also left the bulk of his estate to be divided between the "cancer and heart funds of Virginia.” Giles Miller. Jr. of Culpeper, executor of the estate, reported in court on Thursday that inventory showed Mrs. Wood’s assets as SI.549,089 and Mr. Wood’s as $149,042. In addition, he said. Mrs. Wood owned 10.49 acres at Fletcher’s Mill with a large main house, guest cottage, garage and five smaller outbuildings. Noting that there has been no appraisal on the property, he guessed the figure at $60,000. According to Miller, he encountered problems with Rappahannock’s tax assessment procedures and found county figures on the worth of the property ”no (Continued on Page 12) Pullen To Serve Six Months of Five-Year Term On November 13, James Franklin Pullen was found guilty of curse and abuse charges, a misdemeaner, and fined $50 plus costs. The general district court case came just prior to a circuit court hearing on probation revocation for Pullen. In January, 1976, Pullen was placed on three year’s probation for grand larceny ! which occurred the previous year. In March, 1979, his probation was continued for two additional years after Pullen violated terms of his release. Back for another probation hearing last Thursday, the court found Pullen guilty of leaving the area without notifying his probation officer, failure to file required probation reports and conviction on misdcamor curse and abuse charges. For violation of the probation terms. Judge Robertson ordered Pullen to serve six months of his original five year sentence with the balance to be continued on probation.

Deer Kill Average For Opening Week Since the opening of deer season last Monday, November 17, approximately 250 kiUs have been checked from Rappahannock, according to county game warden Jim Bankston. Earlier, 20 deer were taken with bow and arrow during that special season. Bankston reported that the tally was running about average here, unlike the majority of the state where numbers killed have been below normal for the first week of the season. In addition to the deer, two bears were slain with bow and arrow but none shot on the opening day of regular bear season, November 24, Bankston said. He reported that 20 turkeys have been checked to date. Along with legitimate sportsmen, lawbreakers are out again in force with illegal road hunting continuing as the county's major problem. according to the game warden. This year, there have also been difficulties with hunters trying to check illegal bucks, Bankston said. He reminded sportsmen to make sure tney can see clearly visible antlers before firing. ‘‘The bone must protrude at least an inch. That doesn't mean furry bumps. That means bone,” the warden emphasized. He advised hunters to pick up a copy of the 1980 Virginia game digest, available at Bradford's Store in Flint Hill, and familiarize themselves with regulations. Tn particular, Bankston ysfpessed that the game tag ist be attached to the slain animal before it is moved from the place of kill even to drag the carcass to the hunter's vehicle. “The season looks good. There’s plenty of deer.” the warden concluded. Bridge Club Mrs. C. E. Johnson Jr. was hostess lo the Sperryville Bridge Club at her home Friday evening. Those playing were Mrs. R. E.

"We’re not getting any closer (to an unqualified audit). I do not know why it is taking all this time. We asked Dr. Bloomer to promptly bring us an estimate of what it would cost to put (the necessary controls) into place," said Eastham, noting that the controls must be instituted by November in order for the accountant to give an unqualified audit for the current school year. “I do not believe (the complete audit) is desired in some quarters,” he said. “We’re not getting any closer to it." Bloomer said that Nicholas promised to forward all information in time for the superintendent to make his report at the board’s December meeting. He added that the accountant will be able to conduct an unqualified audit for the period of time beginning when new controls are instituted. (The controls center on having at least two individuals rather than one involved at every stage where money is handled.) Eastham moved that the board instruct Bloomer “to complete whatever is going on between he and Mr. Nicholas” and present a report at the December meeting.

The joint motion was submitted in place of the bond revocation hearing scheduled for last Thursday. Luke told Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson that psychiatrists treating Douglas felt it was in his best interests to continue treatment on an out-patient basis. He noted that Douglas had been institutionalized before with no success, that out-patient care was the only avenue untried for treatment of Douglas’ mental problems. Luke requested that legal proceedings against his client be continued for a year "to see if this option works,” adding that Douglas understood the waiver of his right to a speedy trial and knew he would be back before the court if he violated a single provision of his release. Baumgardner noted that the doctors at the University of Virginia who’d seen Douglas strongly recommended this course of action. Lions Plan Benefit Auction Friday, December 5 at 7:30 p.m., the Jenkins Auction House in Washington will be the site of the Rappahannock Lions Gub’s second benefit auction. The first sale conducted in 1978 under then Lion president Phil Butten’s supervision was a resounding success, raising over $1100. These proceeds were used to support Lions programs of sight and hearing conservation and youth recreation in Rappahannock County. Income from this year’s sale will be allotted for the same purposes. Again, the use of the auction house and his services as auctioneer are being donated by John Walker Jenkins, so all income will be available for Lions charitable activities. Auction Chairman Charles Eldred says, “We will have a wide range of valuable items to offer the public that have been contributed by Lions Club members and friends who are helping with this project. We need and welcome the assistance of residents of Rappahannock in providing serviceable, saleable items for the auction." Donations may be turned in at Jenkins Auction House from 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, December 15 or call one of the following Lions Club members to arrange pickup or delivery. Chester Gap, Art Town 6357547; Flint Hill, Paul Nichols 675-3500; Amissville, Al Doub 937-4609; Washington, Bob Ingle 675-3404; Sperryville, Hugh Chrisman 987-8745; Woodville, Clyde Johnson 987-8655. “Help us to help our Rappahannock communities and come to Jenkins Auction House in Washington on Friday evening, December 5 and enjoy the fun and fellowship of a spirited auction,” concluded Eldred. Hitt Chosen For Rifles uonaia mu oi aperryvitie, a seventh grader at Augusta Military Academy in Fort Defiance, has been selected as a member of the school’s precision drill team, the Roller Rifles. Augusta Military Academy is the oldest military school in the state, founded in 1865. The Roller Rifles, named in honor of the Academy's founder, are handpicked from the entire student body following evaluation during drill maneuvers. As a member of the Roller Rifles, Donald will perform in several parades a year in the Staunton area as well as participate in drill maneuvers every Sunday at the Academy. c- •< SOy Keport ‘‘If it’s Mr. Nicholas’ eport that’s not here, what iffect will this motion have >n him?” asked Newbill Hiller. Eastham stated he would rail the accountant the next lay to find out why the nformation hadn’t been sent ;o the superintendent. He nsisted that Nicholas has already finished compiling his data. “He’s already given as a report. 1 have a copy,” Eastham claimed. “Mr. Eastham, you will not make a phone call unless this board gives you a directive,” interjected Beverly Massie. Eastham stated he would call, that he had the right to call anyone at any time for information without permission from the board. "Then you’re acting as an individual and not in the name of this board," the chairman cautioned. The subsequent vote on Eastham’s motion for a report at the December meeting on implementing the complete audit was recorded as unanimous by the board’s clerk. SOQ Report Presenting an assessment on how well Rappahannock schools did in meeting the state mandated Standards of Quality, assistant superintendent Rob McDaniel reported that “in, some, we met our goal, some we made a stab at and weren't successful and some we haven’t even addressed.’’ He added that the state requires a report on SOQ objectives to the board and to the public. According to the annual update of SOQ six-year plan, a copy of which was secured after the meeting, the objective to have elementary students demonstrate mastery (75 per cent achievement) in reading has been exceeded. In addition, the percentage of students mastering all objectives of the basic learning skills exceeds SOQ goals with % per cent for first grade, 94 per cent for second. 97 per cent for third, 93 per cent for fourth, 85 per cent for fifth and 94 per cent for sixth. Among 11th and 8th graders. SOQ goals called for 55 per cent to score at or above the fiftieth percentile in reading and language arts on standardized tests by June, 1984. To date, only 29 per cent of 8th graders and 43 per cent of 11th graders have achieved that goal. In math, the SOQ objective was to have 85 per cent of elementary students mastering basic learning skills. To date, percentages have exceeded this goal with 96 per cent of first graders mastering math skills, % per cent for second grade, 91 per cent for third, 95 per cent for fourth, 77 per cent for fifth and 91 per cent for sixth. Also in math, objectives called for 55 per cent of 8th and 11th graders to score at or above the fiftieth percentile on standardized math tests by 1984. To date, only 28 per cent of 8th graders and 42 per cent of 11th graders have met this objective. SOQ objectives call for every high school graduate and 50 per cent of drop-outsto have a job entry skill. The six-year plan update did not give statistics on graduates. It noted, however, that 55 per cent of those students leaving high school before graduation met the job entry objective. In addition, the report notes that 18 of 63 graduating last year entered T.R.

Under special education objectives, the employment of a special education coordinator is called for by August, 1980. This position was not filled. Under gifted and talented, programs were to have begun by June, 1979. Last year, 41 elementary and ten high school students were involved in after-school activities for gifted and talented. This year, 70 students at the elementary and 42 at the high school have been identified for inclusion in expanded gifted and talented programs. By June, 1981, graduates will have demonstrated minimum competency in citizenship and civic responsibilities, according to SOO objectives. The report notes that one way of assessing student competency in citizenship is whether they vote. For the November 4, 1980 elections, 100 per cent of eligible RCHS students registered and all but one (94 per cent) voted, a participation level far above national, state and local averages. (Continued on Page 12) In addition, he emphasized that any violation of the conditions of Douglas’ release would result in immediate bond revocation and arrest. In ruling that the defendant could stay at liberty on $1,000 bond. Judge Robertson told Douglas: "I want you to go into this program and successfully complete it. I believe you will but you’ve got to work at it...Good Luck." ASAP Given $5,356 Grant The Virginia Transportation Safety Board recently approved the allocation of $5,356 to Rappahannock County for continuation of the local Alcohol Safely Action Program (ASAP). The funds are part of a total of $564,339 divided between six state agencies, seven cities and 12 counties. With ASAP, a driver convicted of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol is given the opportunity to attend an educational program. Upon successful completion of the course, the court mav reduce trunk driving charges against, he individual to a lesser offense of reckless driving. Under this approach, the subject is able to retain his or her operator’s license but must remain on probation for a year. Choir Concert The First Baptist Church youth choir will be in concert at the church in Washington >n Sunday.

Sentence Imposed In an earlier hearing on parole revocation, Judge Robertson ordered Thomas Edward Rector to serve five years of a suspended sentence he received in Rappahannock on charges of malicious wounding. While on probation. Rector was arrested for and convicted of grand larceny in Warren County. Robertson ruled that the five years for the wounding charges here must be served consecutively with the one year term Rector received in Warren for the larceny. Chessie Spotted Chessie, Virginia’s elusive sea monster, was sighted by fishing parties on four boats off Smith Point in the Chesapeake Bay on September 28, 1980, shortly after noon. According to the October issue of the Virginia Council on the Environment’s Digest of Environmental News witnesses reported that the serpent-like creature’s head appeared to weigh about 50 pounds and it had a tail as large as a human thigh. Its head and back was spiked, witnesses said, and it rolled over to look at the boat captain before diving under water. In early September, two Maryland residents reported seeing a similar creature near Stevensville, Md., in Eastern Bay. There have been stories, however, of people seeing Chessie and not wanting to report it, according to the Digest. + + H—h The golden rule is found in forty-eight religions. —Manly.Hall New England Contra and English Country Square Dairce | Saturday, November 29, at 8 • p.m. Indoors at the Washington } Community Center.

Washington Museum Depicts County9s History By THERESA REYNOLDS Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer In tne early part of the nineteenth century Mr. Wash Clark and his son operated a tavern on Main Street in the town of Washington. It was a two-story affair with a long double porch facing the road. Here a hungry traveler or town merchant could order all he could eat for fifty cents and on court days in the county seat the line of customers stretched all the way from the court house, several blocks away. If the old building could speak it would tell tales of local business deals completed over cider and ale; of weary families taking a short rest before the next leg of their journey west; and of the rowdy trappers who brought their furs in to trade at the end of the rugged mountain winter. Thanks to the efforts of Miss Ruby Jenkins and those who have helped and encouraged her, the old tavern can speak in its own way to all those who are interested in everyday life in Rappahannock County as it was lived hundreds of years ago or just a few weeks ago. The building was reborn as the Washington Museum in 1975. “I had collected so many things,” Miss Jenkins said. ‘‘There just was no more room for any more Rappahannock mementos in the house. And this building was vacant—had been for years. So one day I said 1 was going to open up the old kitchen and furnish it with the things I'd collected. 1 guess folks must have thought I was crazy, but it was something I'd always wanted to do.” Unlike the grandiose museums of larger cities, the Washington Museum preserves the simple, homey items of country and small town life as well as commemorating the great moments in county history. Here, you can find out, for example, that the weather on November 6 of 1901 was clear and warm; that the Frederick to Winchester bus line flopped in Washington twice aAday in the twenties and that the town fathers of 1894 were auite concerned with the distance of pig pens from the public roads. ^^The first room that Miss ^fflnkins restored, the old tavern kitchen, is filled with the tools of farming, cooking and homemaking. Hooked and woven rugs cover the wooden floor and chairs scavenged from various parts of the county are pulled up close to the big open fireplace. There are scales from the Rowzie Store at Amissville and a grain cradle from the farm of Mr. Marshall. “Mr. Marshall said he had a cradle for me,” Miss Jenkins said, laughing. "Of course, 1 thought it was a baby cradle and it turned out to be an old grain cradle. 1 was real glad to have it though. Some attempts at making routine chores easier are displayed on the windowsill of the kitchen. There’s an ancient apple peeler and a cherry stoner. Right below them is an old kerosene container made of a jug imbedded in a pretty pine case, as smooth as glass from the years of the heavy oil dripping down its sides. Other items used by the Rappahannock housewives ol years ago show a touching desire to take pride in ever) little detail of theii exhausting household routine.

Mrs. Anna Jenkins, Ruby’s mother, like many other Rappahannock women, used a tiny square mold to turn out individual pats of fancy butter for special dinners. On the kitchen table are many items: the old almanacs that contained household hints for rural women as well as planting dates and weather forecasts for their husbands; a beautifully embroidered handmade tablecloth given to the museum by Mrs. Havstad and made by her grandmother well over 150 years ago; a cookbook by Mrs. Margaret Compton, a Rappahannock School teacher who published it in 1924. Mrs. Compton taught in the little “Rabbit Gum” school, the first in town. She was generally considered to be one of the area’s finest cooks and in her cookbook, New Delineator Recipes, you can find a recipe for everything from a club sandwich to Lady Baltimore Cake, all presented in the “modem” style adopted in the twenties. Leaving the kitchen, you pass by an ancient pie safe and enter the second room that Miss Jenkins has restored - the school room. Here she has assembled treasures from past Rappahannock schools. On the little desks lined up in rows there are old textbooks - the same ones that were actually used here. At the Academy, or “Rabbit Gum” School, students read from McGuffy’s readers and spellers, from Smith's Grammar, from Davis’s Arithmetic, and from the Spencerian Copy Book. Students of geography used the definitive textbook of the turn of the century, written by M. F. Maury who advanced the somewhat radical idea that “the teacher should teach as well as hear recitations.” A high school student in 1890 was graded on no less than nineteen subjects: Reading, Spellings Arithmetic, Geography, Physical Geography, Penmanship, Civil Government, Physiology, Geology, Composition, Grammar, Orthography, History, Algebra, Philosophy, Rhetoric, Botany, Drawing and Deportment. Teachers who chose to teach as well as hearing recitations used a real slate board like that on display from the old Flint Hill School. The third room of the old tavern was fixed up to house general county and town historical objects. "I worked hard on this room for the bicentennial,” Miss Jenkins said. “I still have a lot to do on it.” Among the many items on display here are the Congressional Record affirming that Washington, Virginia was the first Washington, the pots and crocks used for making Rappahannock apple butter, the homemade wooden barrels used for shipping apples to England, and the stencils used to mark the barrels with the name of the apple variety. There are the Washington weather logs from 1901 to 1908 kept painstakingly by the weather observer in a quaint old fashioned script, pictures and clippings from the famous all-woman Washington town council, and a facsimile of George Washington himself with his surveyor’s tools. From the Town Ordinances approved on March 15, 1894 we learn that, in addition to their concern about pig pens, the town council prohibited horses from standing upon any sidewalk, punishable by a fine of 50 cents; that it was unlawful to block the sidewalk by engaging in a game of ball, bandy or marbles; and that prisoners being transported must wear a ball and chain furnished from town funds, one to each prisoner. From the faded tickets on display we learn that three RUBY JENKINS is glad to show museum visitors her scrapbook with press clippings and pictures of events in the life of Little Washington. THERE’S AN OPEN DOOR for anyone interested in seeing the Washington Museum. There are no regular hours but a call to Ruby Jenkins is all that’s necessary for her to conduct a personal tour.

From a new century there remains a menu, printed by hand from the Cherry Tree & Hatchet, the name of the tea room operated by Mrs. Meigs and her daughters in the 30’s. At Mrs. Meigs’ you could get the chicken dinner for 75 cents. With the chicken came potatoes, vegetables, salad, hot rolls, preserves, and dessert. Or you could have the economy breakfast for 40 cents. This included fruit, cereal, ham or bacon with eggs, toast, coffee and preserves. , It’s not possible to list all the Rappahannock treasures that Miss Jenkins has lovingly displayed in the old tavern.

SHOULD YOU REFINANCE? | There are iwo good reasons for refinancing a mortgage - to replace a high cost^Joan with a cheaper one or to convert accumulated equity into usable cash. In an inflationary setting, your chances of reducing costs by rewriting a loan taken out years ago are zilch. You will pay more for today's money. Still, there could be circumstances where an old loan had become burdensome and new loan for a smaller amount or a longer term or both might reduce monthly carrying charges despite interest. Figure the effect before you go this route, though. Also, there may be other good reasons for refinancing to raise cash. a Even though interest rates are sky-high, mortgaging a home still ranks among the cheapest way the ordinary person has to borrow sizable chunks of cash. Whether such a move is wise depends on why you want to do it. It would be imprudent to tap this basic asset for frivolous purpose. But putting kids through college or a oncein-a-lifetime business opportunity might be worthy reasons.

Inc Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27.1980 Give Thanks As we take stock of our blessings this Thanksgiving Day, we should stop and reflect on the unique environment we have around us. Folks in Rappahannock County have more to be thankful for than many Americans. We share a sense of community and a feeling of belonging. In school, our children are individuals, not just a name connected to a face. In church, we know the family in the next pew. The storekeepers don’t need three identifications and a life history when we write a check—they see us every day. If we run afoul of the police, we’re treated like honest citizens who’ve made a mistake rather than hardened criminals. We get the benefit of the doubt until we show continued disregard for the law. The people we see on county business know most of us by name. When we drive down the highway, acquaintances and strangers alike wave hello. Maybe everybody does know everyone else’s business but they know our troubles too and are there to give a helping hand or a kind word. *This is small town America. Its qualities are shared by other rural communities across the country. We have that here in Rappahannock and we have more. We can find heart lifting vistas around every corner. Our views of the mountains, rolling hills and fields make depression easier to vanquish. Surrounded by all the county’s beauty, a smile comes much more naturally than a frown. It isn’t imagination. Ask any new arrival. The air in Rappahannock is clearer, the stars bigger, the moon brighter and the sky bluer. We may lack some urban conveniences but what we have in exchange is worth so much more. Coming home is an important part of this nation’s Thanksgiving rituals. We should all be thankful that our home is Rappahannock. Over-Insulation May Create Safety Hazard “The present-day emphasis on well insulated and efficiently heated homes, presents two problems we need to be on the lookout for.” according to Dft John Einarson ofL the Rappahannock Heaftft Department. \ v. W “One»is being overcome by carbon monoxide gases, and the other is the danger of home fires from space heaters and wood-burning appliances.” “Ventilation must not be eliminated through overinsulation, ” warns Dr. Einarson. “There must be allowance for the escape of carbon monoxide gases from all fuel bunting heaters and appliances.” Just because a heater or furnace is vented does not make it safe. Vent pipes and chimneys have become plugged by birds’ nests, slicks, leaves or other debris. When this happens, dangerous gases cannot escape and are forced back into the room. Chimneys and vents should be checked at least once a year, according to Dr. Einarson. Citizens using gas or oil fired space heaters should use the following safety rules: 1. Never use an unvented space healer without first partially opening a window or otherwise providing for a steady supply of fresh air. 2. Maintain at least 36 inches clearance to alh combustible materials, such as draperies, furniture, clothing, and wood paneling. 3. Use a noncombustible insulated pad under floor heaters. 4. Headaches, dizziness and nausea are the first symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning. If you have any of these symptoms while using a heater, turn it off and breathe some fresh air. 5. NEVER refuel a heater while it is hot, and never completely fill a heater with fuel, because as the fuel warms it expands and could spill over and ignite. “Home fires also increase during winter months,” said Dr. Einarson. A survey of fire officials in rural areas by the Office of the State Fire Marshal revealed that between October 1979 and June 1980 there were 1,872 fires associated with the installation, use, and maintenance of wood burning appliances. Chimney fires caused by creosote build-up were the most prevalent, 923. Defective chimneys caused 232 fires, and the flue pipe or chimney being too close to combustibles accounted for 270 fires. The losses accounted for over $1.3 million, 22 injuries, and 11 deaths. Protection from fire in the home starts with basic preventive measures such as the repair of faulty heating ^plants and- chimneys and defective wiring, and avoidance of careless smoking habits. Persons using wood burning heaters and appliances should regularly check their chimneys and vents for creosote build-up. Depending on the wood, a dangerous build-up can occur within 30 days. Dr. Einarson says these heating methods can be satisfactory and safe if used with caution and according to manufacturers’ directions. If there are questions, the individual should contact his local fire department. ^ Finally Dr. Einarson reminds, “Don’t try to stay warm in a car with the windows and vents closed and the motor running. Many people are unintentionally overcome by carbon monoxide by doing this.” Even in the most severe cold weather fresh air must be allowed into the car. Washington Mill (Continued from Page 1) Rappahannock land tax books recorded an increase in the property's building's value to $1,900. The assessment had been $850, unchanged since 1820, the first year in which such information was included. A deed in 1846, which cleared the land title, states that the mill was occupied by Garner E. Burgess, who purchased the mill from Cheek four years later. Burgess probably served as resident miller for Pendleton and Mason, before his employment by Cheek, who then moved to Tennessee. John Jett bought the mill property from Burgess in 1855-57, at which time it became known as Jett’s Mill. Jett added $1,500 worth of improvements in 1860, raising the value of the property to $3,000. The mill remained in Jett’s possession throughout the Civil War and is thought to have served as a neutral trading post for both Northern and Southern partisans. Similar in plan to most of the water-powered grist mills built in Virginia during the first half of the 19th century, Washington Mill operated for decades as a quasi-public utility, constituting one of the most important services in the rural economy of Rappahannock County. The variety of surviving mechanical apparatus is indicative of the engineering skills required of 19thcentury millers such as the Garwoods and Burgess. Among the surviving flour milling equipment on the site are the main gear, a wooden conveyor paddle system, a long wooden sifter, a pin wheel, numerous wooden gears and rods, and a lever. Following the Civil War ihe mill continued to operate into the 20th century, although there is no evidence that steam power was ever applied to operate its f. The mill provided ; for a concert by ginia Symphony t in 1950. Peter of Washington, purchased the mill id plans to restore it for commercial use. According to Tucker Hill, executive director of the Landmarks Commission, a property must be associated with important events, developments, or persons or possess outstanding architectural or archaeological significance to be eligible for listing on the register. In addition, it must possess integrity of location, design, setting, workmanship, and association. “Each structure or site is carefully evaluated and analyzed before we make a formal nomination,” he said. ^Other recent additions to the Virginia Landmarks Register include Bruton Poor House Archaeological Site, York County; Charlottesville and Albemarle County Courthouse Historic District; George Oscar Thompson House, Tazewell County; Village View, Emporia; Hermitage, Accomack County; and Westover, Northampton County. All properties enrolled in the register are in turn nominated to the National Register of Historic Places, maintained by the Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Listing on the state and national registers places no legal restrictions on an owner’s use of the property, nor does it imply any architectural controls. .Restrictions, such as historic SuW Photo/John Toler Our Rappahannock Heritage Planners Endorse Budget-Year 2000 tcominuea irom rage u contiguous, requires separate applications for use value treatment. The county has the option of how much to charge as an application fee and whether to require annual revaluation by the Commissioner of Revenue for el included in the MJJJer/suggested charging S10 but requiring just a single application fee whether the land owner puts one or 14 parcels of land in the program. Miller explained that- be couldn't see charging for each separate parcel when it wasn’t going to cost the county anything extra to run land use, maintaining that the Commissioner of Revenue’s office could handle administration with no additional staff. According to the planning commissioner, property owners who qualify will be discouraged from enrolling in district zoning, can be imposed only by lt>cal governing bodies. Hill said registered landmarks also do not have to be accessible to the public. ‘The majority of places registered are privately owned and have never been open to the public.” Registration is mainly an official and honorific recognition that a property is a historic and cultural resource for the state and nation and should be preserved. Placement of more than 900 properties on the register since 1967 has called public attention to Virginia’s extraordinary legacy from the past and greatly encouraged the preservation efforts of state, local, and private agencies and groups. “The register is an important reminder that the history of Virginia is told not only in records and books, but also in the numerous historic structures and sites t, that are scattered across the Commonwealth.” Hill said. It’s a good rule never to send a mouse to catch a skunk or a poliwog to tackle a whale. —Abraham Lincoln lauu use ii iiiing iees are ioo high. "I can see it if the parcels are contiguous but if you have 100 acres in Hawthorne District and 100 acres in Piedmont, is that going to make a difference?” asked Estes. Under the county's old system of recording land ownership by districts, processing land use applications for property in different districts under the same ownership would require extra work by the Commissioner of Revenue, Miller agreed. With the county’s new computer system,, however, all the parcels owned by a single person are listed on the same page in the land book and so processing several applications will take no extra work, according to Miller. He noted, however, that if a single $10 application fee is charged for several parcels under the same ownership and one parcel is later withdrawn from the land use program, then the individual will have to reapply for land use for the balance of the property. Miller also opposed requiring annual revaluation for properties receiving special land use assessment. “We don’t want to get too darn bureaucratic...If it’s in land use, let it stay in until the use changes or the governing body changes the ordinance,” he said, noting that law requires property owners receiving the special assessment to report any changes in the use of their land. In addition, he voiced opposition to adding extra penalties on failure to report use changes, an option the county has in drafting its ordinance. Another choice the county can make is whether to permit late filing of land use applications. Miller proposed that this option be pointed out to the supervisors with the notation that the planning commissioners are neither for nor against. The vote to recommend adoption of a use value taxation ordinance incorporating all of Miller’s suggestions was unanimous. The planners proposed that use value, if approved by the supervisors, lake effect simultaneous with the county’s new 100 per cent reassessment. In other action, vicechairman Stokes reported that the planning commission has received an application for rezoning but could take no action to begin the hearing process because it was not signed by the property owner. County ordinances require the rezoning applications be signed by the owner, optionee I or contract owner. Miller suggested that in the future, applications indicate whether the signature is ahat of owner, optionee or contract owner. In addition, he proposed that a map showing the location of the property accompany all rezoning applications. The unsigned request was from Virginia Dodson of Slate Mills asking for reclassification from agriculture to commercial for a commercial garage. Letter To The Editor Unwelcome To the editor: As much as the county fire departments need every dollar they can raise, it is a shameful thing when those participating in fund raising activities cannot behave with decency. At the Washington Volunteer Fire Department’s shooting matches. two troublemakers have caused problems and thereby caused many people to stay away. We have asked the sheriff to notify them that they are no longer welcome. With the troublemakers barred from the premises, we hope that the decent clientele whose business we appreciate will return. However, only general public rejection of such behavior will really solve the problems. ROGER ROACH Chief - WVFD ++++ All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets. —The Bible An automobile for $27,090; a hamburger costing $4.38—this is not the budget of the richest family in town, but of an ordinary middleclass American in the year 2000 if inflation continues at a seven percent level. Recent Bureau of Labor Statistics information indicated prices went up 1.1 percent in a recent month or at a 13.2 percent annual level. What if inflation continues to gain, perhaps not at a 13.2 percent level, but a 7 percent level until the year 2000? There will be some dramatic changes in household coats and a resulting change in lifestyles. Here are drastic estimates of what living might be like in just 20 years.

Bar of soap It is questionable that all product prices would rise at the rate of seven percent continuously, even if the cost of living did rise at that rate. Not all households' incomes would go up at the same rate as inflation. Many persons point to high government spending, concentrated industries, low productivity, unionized labor and other problems as a source of inefficiency. Business, government, the consumer, the media, education—all are highly interdependent. It is time for them to work together to combat inflation and take reasonable means of solving the problem rather than blaming one another. Businesses and consumers alike should avoid an inflation psychosis that any price is reasonable as it soon will be higher. There should be strong stress on. productivity and respond sibility.

Source: National Consumer Buving Alert Feb., 1980 More Cattle In Virginia After four years of decreasing cattle numbers around the nation, it appears that the rebuilding of herds has begun. Cattle numbers in Virginia have increased even more dramatically than the nation as a whole, reported K. C. Williamson, Extension beef marketing specialist at Virginia Tech. “Total cow numbers in the United States have increased 2,408,000 head, or five percent, over July 1 a year ago. Since milk cow numbers increased only about one percent, the number of beef cows was up six percent over the past year,” Williamson said. In Virginia, total cow numbers increased 17 percent over the past year. On July 1, we reported 988.000 cows. This is about 130.000 more head than were reported on July 1. 1975, the peak year in this cattle cycle,” stated Williamson. “This is certainly the most cows ever recorded in Virginia.” Eighty-three percent of the cows in Virginia are beef and the 818,000 beef cows reported on July 1 was an increase of 20 percent over a /ear earlier. Colorado was the only Jther state in the nation to •eport a percentage increase in total cow numbers equal to Virginia’s increase. The Little Fox

Kvarnes Keeps 2,000 Year Old Craft Alive By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Vo Staff Writer Erie Kvarnes practices a craft that has been passed down unchanged for 2,000 years. In his Gid Brown Hollow studio, he blows and shapes molten glass into utilitarian pieces of art using methods that Old . World masters have perfected over centuries. Tables and shelves in the studio hold slender vases, delicate bowls, glasses and heavy paperweights with blue tears shining from their centers. Cardboard boxes full of the finest examples of Kvarnes’ work packed in newspaper wait to be displayed at craft shows. A glass blower for seven years, Eric still considers himself a beginner. He exhibits only at small shows, explaining that he and his partner Nina Harris need to bring in some money right away but aren’t good enough yet for big, prestigious craft gatherings. To the novice appraiser of glass work, Nina and Eric sell their talents short. Even the less than perfect flawed vase with an uneven lip or a dent breathes with the special beauty of the finest crystal. Eric, a native of Chevy Chase, didn’t know the first thing about glass blowing when he enrolled at Goddard College. He came to the progressive Vermont school to study clowns and circuses, aiming for a career under the big top. Zipping around the campus one day on the unicycle he rode to class, Eric was stopped by a stranger who wanted to learn how to ride the tricky one-wheeled machine. The would-be circus clown agreed and in return the stranger offered him instruction^ in glass blowing. “I said no but he asked me again and again and so I finally went up to his studio,” Eric recalled. His introduction to glass blowing STARTING WITH A LUMP of super heated glass, Eric Kvames shapes the taffy-like dab with a block of wet apple wood before blowing a bubble into its center. “I have to watch out or 111 end up with a pane in my chest, ” Eric joked about his trade. got off to an inauspicious start when Kvarnes set himself on fire. “It was ten degrees below zero in there except next to the furnace. The heat melted the side of my nylon coat right off!” The stranger turned out to be Robert Birch, one of America’s foremost glass blowers. His talents fanned Eric’s interest and in his second semester, Eric switched from clowns to Goddard’s four year program gone to study in fulfillment of a lifetime’s dream. A Northern Virginia native, she grew up across the street from Watergate. As a child, Nina visited Jamestown and Williamsburg for a family outing and after watching the glassblowers in their colonial garb, decided then and there that was what she wanted to be. “She told her dad and he said ‘Oh no, you don’t want to look like a chipmunk!” Eric laughed. But Nina heal in scorching waves, generating one million BTUs per day. Made of refractory materials, the light-weight outside bricks feel like paper mache and although temperatures never reach that high, they’ll withstand heat of 2,600 degrees. The hard, dense inner bricks regularly endure 2,000 degree heat, the temperature at which glass runs like honey, according to Eric. “Those monsters cost S8 a piece,” he said, shaking -w mortared. “The glass seeps into the cracks and forms its own mortar,” Eric explained. The furnace runs 24 hours a day when the partners are working. To heat the furnace from completely cold to 2,000 degree temperatures necessary for glass blowing takes 40 hours with another 24 hours required to bring the unit back down to cold. “We run it three weeks on and one week off,” Eric said. To make a piece, Eric AFTER SEVERAL MORE DABS of glass, more twisting and shaping, the vase takes shape and is ready to be removed from the blow tube that Nina Harris, Eric’s partner, keeps rolling on the specially designed bench arms. The piece of glass Eric has heated on a separate rod is hot enough to hold the vase without sticking permanently. lipped into the furnace, picking up a dab of molten glass on the end of the blow pipe. Spinning the pipe constantly to keep the cooling glass spread evenly he carried it to his seat on a specially iesigned bench. Holding wet ipple wood blocks made by Peter Kramer in one hand, ie rolled the pipe back and forth across arm rests while ie shaped the hot glass—now it va taffy-like coniistency—with the blocks. Next Eric blew a bubble inti ihe center of the glass blob, rolled and shaped for a few more seconds while the glass cooled and then stuck the blow pipe back in the furnace to pick up another dab and repeated the procedure. The wooden shaping blocks sent up clouds of steam as he rolled. “The wet blocks turn the water into steam so the glass rides on a cushion of steam without bunting the wood,” he explained. "It looks like that wants to (Continued on Page 8) r Ceramic You are cordially invited to visit our Ceramic & Floral Shop on Saturday, December 6 to see our Live Poinsettias, Ceramic Christmas Trees, religious figurines, and dried assorted Flower Arrangements.

He continued to work on and off With Birch. “We became the best of friends and he’s had a big influence on me,” Eric said. And Birch did learn to ride the unicycle. “You’d be surprised how many glass blowers know how to ride a unicycle. I’d estimate one in ten—there must be some connection,” Eric said. “Not one in ten. Not that many,” Nina corrected. “Look at me. I’m a glass blower and I can’t ride one of those things,” she added as Eric pulled his down from its spot on the wall and pedaled around the studio. Chipmunk Cheeks The partners met at Goddard where Nina had READY FOR THE ANNEALER, the neck of the vase has been snapped off from the blow rod, flash heated and smoothed. To prevent the fragile glass from shattering as it cools, the vase must be kept at 1,000 degrees in an annealing oven—just hot enough to remove stresses but not hot enough for the glass to turn molten and loose its shape. perservered, risking puffy cheeks for the satisfaction of creating beautiful glass. After Finishing their studies at Goddard, the partners left Vermont for the Kvarnes family farm in Gid Brown Hollow which Eric’s father, a psychoanalyst with the Washington School of Psychiatry, bought in 1961 from Thomas Baldwin. In cooperation with the senior Kvarnes, who uses half the building for the nursery business he runs with Eric’s brother, they built their glass studio. "I did the insulation, the electrical work, concrete and plumbing myself,” Eric beamed. Home Made Equipment And when he finished with the building, he and Nina had to construct all their own equipment. “You can’t buy glass blowing equipment except for the blow pipe and hand tools. Everything else is do-it-yourself,” Eric said. “Glass blowing hasn’t changed for 2,000 years other than the furnace and the fuel I use. All the hand tools, blow types and the ways of forming glass are the same,” Eric said as he began an explanation on the process and equipment. In one comer of the studio squats a short and stubby brick furnace that sends out r-AmeriGas-i SHENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave Front Royal, Va 635*3556 L.P Gas distributor serving a four county area Propane gas for full bouse use. heating, water heating and cooking Hardwick Rang** Ruud Water Heaters Space Heaters TP Building? •Paint •Lumber \ •Milwork ' •Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Cov Inc. on tiia By-Pan Warrenton 347-1400 • Christmas Store Hours Beginning Friday, November 28 The White Shop Will Be Open Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Until December 23 The day of the Christmas Parade, Saturday, November 29, We will be open from 12 noon until 7 p.m. 9Tie Slop South Gate Shopping Center, Cuipeper his head as he figured the furnace innard’s worth at $176. The bricks are held together by an unusual assortment of metal pieces. Tie rods from the Rappahannock Coop mix with familiar objects—twisted coathangers, an old disc brake, a tire rim. “Almost everything but the bricks is junk. You wouldn’t believe how much of our equipment came out of the dumpsters—good old Rappahannock trash!”” Eric said. Gas from a 1,000 gallon tank of propane that must be refilled once a month flows in through tubing which leads to a mixer—“All made out of Co-op parts.” In the mixer, the propane is combined with air and blasted into the furnace through a ceramic burner head invented by a glass blower. “He probably makes twice as much from that head as he does from blowing glass,” Eric joked. A smaller model of the same design used only for colored glass sits next to the big furnace.

Help For Kidney Patients Almost every person in the Rappahannock area who has permanent kidney failure and needs maintenance dialysis treatment or a kidney transplant is eligible for Medicare health insurance. Bruce A. Hundley social security manager in Culpeper, said recently. Medicare helps pay for kidney transplant surgery and related inpatient hospital services. It also covers outpatient maintenance dialysis and helps pay for doctors' services including surgeons’ services for transplants, bptpatient selfdialysis training, and horn dialysis equipment, supplies and periodic support services. Medicare also helps cover the costs of a donor for kidney transplant surgery. To be eligible for Medicare because of kidney failure, a person must have worked under social security long enough to be insured, from 1 '/j to 7V« years depending on age. or be the wife, husband, or dependent child of an insured worker. Only the family member with kidney failure is eligible for Medicare: others in the family are not, Hundley said. For people with kidney failure. Medicare protection generally begins with the third month after the month the person s course of maintenance dialysis begins. Medicare protection can oegin earlier if the person takes part in a self-dialysis training program in a Medicare approved facility and the person is expected to complete the training and self-dialyze thereafter. Protection can also begin earlier if the person is admitted to an approved hospital for a kidney transplant. Medicare generally ends 12 months after a person no longer requires maintenance dialysis treatments or 36 months following a kidney transplant. Medicare can, however, be resumed if the transplant fails. Anyone with permanent kidney failure who is not covered by Medicare, should apply at the Culpeper social security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 703-825-3500. The people there will be glad to answer questions about Medicare protection. Disability Benefits Payable People in the Culpeper area who have a disability that is expected to keep them from working for a year or more may be eligible for social security disability benefits. Bruce A. Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently, i Social security disability benefits can be paid to: —Disabled workers and their families. — Disabled widows, widowers, and certain surviving divorced wives at 50 or later. The benefits are paid on the record of a worker insured at death. —Unmarried persons 18 or over who became disabled before reaching 22 and who continue to be disabled. Benefits are paid only on the record of a parent who receives retirement or disability benefits or on the record of a parent who was insured at death. Disabled workers must have credit for a certain amount of work covered by social security to be eligible for benefits. The amount of credit needed ranges from l'/j years to 7‘/« years of work, with part earned immediately before disablement, depending on the worker’s, age when he or she became disabled. A widow, widower, or adult disabled in childhood need not have worked under social security since these benefits are paid on the record of a spouse or parent who worked under social security. Payments to a worker or to a disabled widow or widower cannot begin until the 6th full month of disability. Payments to an adult disabled in childhood can begin when the parent received retirement or disability benefits or dies. It makes no difference how old the adult is at that time just as lohg as he or she became disabled before 22. 3 HOUR CU A ■ i h i FRIDAY, NOVEMBER MER 6 p.m. to 9 p.m * ; /K SPECIAL PRICES IN EFFECT FOR 3 HOURS!

International Direct Dialing Starting November 21, Centel Customers in the Front Royal and Washington exchanges will find it as simple to dial international > calls as it is to place long distance calls to points within the United States. Previously, operator assistance was required to dial most international calls. Now, customers can dial direct to cities in 74 countries throughout the world, and save money since operator assistance is not required. Here’s how it works: All countries and cities where direct dialing is available have been assigned code numbers, and an international access code of “011" has been designated. .Callers simply fill in the blanks of this formula: Dial Oil - Country Code - City Code - Local Number. Brochures listing codes for many of the countries and cities in the program are being mailed in December to Centel customers whose exchanges are served by Bell System long distance switching centers equipped for the service. The brochures also include information on rates and a time chart. Direct dialing is also available for customers placing international calls that are person-to-person, collect, credit card and charged to a third number. Higher rates for operator assistance apply, however. Preparing Garden There are some pros and cons to be considered in whether or not to plow the home vegetable garden in the fall. “Fall plowing offers the advantage of allowing earlier spring planting, but limits the amount of cover crop that can be grown,” said Diane Relf, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in home horticulture. Heavy soils benefit from fall plowing by exposure to freezing and thawing, she continued. Fill also is a good time to plow in large applications of organic matter which will decompose by spring. Fall plowing is not recommended for hillside or steep plots, she cautioned. Serious erosion can occur where unplanted soils are left exposed to the elements of rain and wind.

Glass Blowers \vvuuiiuvu itviu a agv - '/ turn into a vase,” Nina remarked, as she watched the glass take form. Before his second trip to the furnace, Eric dipped the glass blob into a pile of broken blue1 chips that melted into swirls when the pipe was stuck back in the oven. After pulling it back out, he spun the blow rod over his head like a baton, allowing centrifigal force to pull the hot glass into a more elongated shape. Critical Point Getting ready to take the almost completed vase off the blow pipe, Eric noted that this is the point where one in five or six pieces ends up on the floor. With Nina left at the bench to spin, he heated a second small piece of glass on another pipe and cooled it enough so it would stick but not make a bond with the bottom of the vase. The vase was broken loose at its neck from the blow rod and sticking just barely to the second pipe, went back in the furnace for flash heating and then smoothing. At this stage, the vase with its vivid blue designs looked finished. Eric explained, however, that stress points would cause the glass to shatter if it wasn’t treated further in an annealing oven. "As it cools, it gets brittle," Nina added, "it’s the molecules. We have about 20 minutes to work in after it comes out from the furnace. Much longer and it’s going to end up on the floor instead of inthe annealer.” Eric pointed to what looked like a relic of an ice box back against the wall. “That’s my mom’s old refrigerator. I lugged it out in a field and burned it until it got down to the metal shell,” Eric said. He took that shell, lined it with bricks, added electrical elements and shelves and presto! He had an annealing oven. When the partners are blowing glass the annealer is Photos Daphne y i Hutchinson kept at 1,000 degrees, regulated by an old electric fence control box to which Eric has attached a pyrometer. “That’s a $200 thermometer,” he joked. When the annealer is full, it’s taken to 1050 degrees, just below the 1075 degree melting temperature of glass. "It’s liquid enough to take the stresses out but not loose its shape,” Eric explained. After 45 minutes at 1050 degrees, the annealer is shut off and left closed tight overnight until the temperature drops to 250 degrees and the finished glass is unloaded. Art From Scraps Glass can be made from sand, procedures the partners learned at Goddard. “We don’t have the equipment now and besides, it’s a pretty toxic process,” Nina said. Instead, they buy the raw material by the ton in huge barrels from a nearby factory that makes candy dishes. Before these shards and slivers can be turned into work of art, Nina and Eric have to pick through tiny pieces by the millions, discarding any which contain metal or other foreign materials. Because of the special properties of glass, the partners face never ending maintenance work on their equipment. “When glass is molten, it’s the most corrosive substance in the world. It will eat anything and everything,” Eric said, groaning that the furnace will have to be rebuilt once a year. He emphasized that this corrosion appears when glass is in its molten, not liquid, state. “Glass is always a liquid. It’s just frozen at our normal temperatures. If you were to go away and leave (Ol&c £11111 tic ^lUCCpli i Experienced and Fully Insured Modern Equipment Call Today For Free Ctiimata •14* JTaaljtanub Iante Northern Virginia Flint MMI, Vs.

Eric has no scars to show for his skin-charing work at 2,000 degree temperatures. “I’ve never burned myself seriously here,” he said, pushing up his sleeves. “My major burn scars are all from my wood stove,” he said, pointing to momentos of contact with hot steel rather than hot glass.

According to Eric, one out of every ten glass blowers can also ride a ' unicycle, a statistic his partner, a non-unicycle rider herself, disputes. Gas Use Drops 6.4% Virginia’s gasoline consumption dropped 6.4 per cent in September this year, compared to the same month last year, and again brought the state under the federal consumption target. “The trend towards smaller, more fuel efficient cars and the price of gasoline are likely to be the significant factors for the driving public now,” said George L. Jones, Office of Emergency and Energy Services. A Gallup poll conducted nationally in February and March for the Highway Users Federation showed that three out of four drivers believe the price of gasoline has forced a change in driving habits, while seven out of ten motorists said they are driving less than a year ago. Figures released today indicated 212.430.000 gallons were purchased in September 1980, or 14,606,000 gallons less than the 227,036,000 gallons purchased in September 1979. Reduced gasoline use again enabled the state to come under gasoline consumption quotas set by the U. S. Department of Energy (USDOE). Virginia met the September target of 214,783,000 gallons by 1.1 per cent. Other than January and May, Virginia has met the targets for all other months. ++++ No rule is so general which admits not some exception. —Robert Burton A Note of Thanks To the Citizens of the 7th Congressional District: Once again, I have been given the privilege of thanking the people of this large and diverse district for their generous and encouraging vote of confidence.

Fuel Program Applications Open Dec. 1 The Virginia Department of Welfare said today applications for the $34.3 million fuel program will be taken by local departments of welfare-social services beginning December 1. Anyone wishing information about the program before that date can call the Virginia Department of Welfare, toll-free, at 1-800552-3431 during normal business hours. Households applying for the program will need to verify income with wage stubs, award letters, if they receive social security, or income tax returns if they are self-employed or seasonal workers. Households will also need to verify cash resources such as savings accounts.

In 1979-80, however, only 11 per cent of the boys and 10 per cent of the girls in the elementary school scored satisfactorily on physical fitness ratings. At the high school, 79 per cent of boys and 59 per cent of girls achieved satisfactory scores. On capital outlay, SOQ objectives call for the 1979-80 budget to reflect approved plans for immediate space needs but capital outlay needs were not addressed in the approved budget. The SOQ strategy states that a time schedule for completion of capital outlay projects should be developed and financial plan determined by September, 1979. Neither has been done.
