Thomas Glasker, 21, Philip Register, 21, and Albert Gatewood, 24, were arrested along with a 16-yearold juvenile on December 4. They’ve been charged with felonies in connection with breaking into the Pine Knot Inn on December 2 and taking approximately $200 worth of cigarettes, beer and cash, according to sheriff W. A. Buntin. Also on Tuesday, Judge Alexander found probable cause to certify Jimmy Wayne Nicholson to the grand jury on charges of felonious escape. Susan Sisson was also certified on a related charge of aiding a fugitive. After hearing testimony. Judge Alexander declined to certify Nicholson’s brother, Edward Mac Nicholson, on ch^ges of aiding a fugitive. Nicholson, an inmate at the Woodbridge Correctional Unit on a work release program, failed to return from his job on November 14. He was picked up by Rappahannock County deputies at his brother’s home in Slate Mills on November 24. Truck, Bike Recovered A vehicle stolen from Triplett Milling Company apparently as part of a burglary was recovered by state police this Monday, according to trooper R. A. Baines. The 1%6 Ford truck with a van body was found in a field at the intersection of Routes 600 and 671 at Sperryville. The vehicle was taken from Triplett’s in Culpeper sometime between the late night hours of December 6 and early in the morning of December 7; Baines reported. Subsequently, police discovered that the business had also been burglarized, the trooper said. “Apparently, the truck was stolen after the burglary for transportation,” he added. In conjunction with the Culpeper Police Department, the state police is continuing its investigation of the incident. In addition, on December 4, the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Department recovered a bicycle stolen from the porch of Charles Eldred’s Washington residence on November 29. According to sheriff W. A. Buntin, a petition against the juvenile involved in the theft will be issued by the court.

Stock, Machinery Taxes Higher Here By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Mew* Staff Writer "We’re tired of subsidizing the rest of the county with our personal property taxes.” That was the message broadcast over and over again by Mike Massie and other farmers at the supervisors’ public hearing last week on eliminating personal property levies on farm machinery, livestock and household goods. At first consideration, it may appear that Massie’s complaint is invalid. Farmers in Rappahannock probably pay the lowest land taxes in the state. But an examination of the personal property tax records show that farmers here are far and away the biggest contributors, paying amounts 10, 20, 50, even 100 times more than house and lot owners. On pages in the personal property ledger* farrti accounts stand out in sharp contrast to other tax bills (excluding a few merchants capital accounts) that average well below $50. Hampton stock farm’s bill this year for personal property taxes on livestock and farm machinery is $1,049. Jordan River Farm owes $520, Foster’s Orchard $452, J. W. Retcher’s Thornton Hill Farm $1,501, Ben Venue Farm $1556, Eldon Farm $5,405, Lee Partnership $2,193 H. L. Manwaring’s Red O k Farm $1,589 and Meadow Grove Farm $825, just to cite a few picked at random. As an example of a small, part-time operation, one individual with 29 cows and a minimum of farm equipment will pay $507 in personal property taxes this year. Rappahannock Alone Among its neighbors, Rappahannock stands alone in applying personal property taxes on household belongings. Warren, Page, Culpeper, Madison and Fauquier—all the counties that border Rappahannock—have dropped that particular levy. In addition. Page, Madison and Fauquier have discontinued taxes on livestock. Compared tothe counties that still retain a levy on farm animals, Rappahannock taxes at the highest rate. Culpeper values cows at $50 and bulls at $75. Warren assesses cattle at $100 per head and doesn't tax anything under a year old. In Rappahannock, cows without calves are valued at $350, cows with calves at $400, two-year-old steers at $350, yearling heifers at $250. yearling steers at $300. bulls at $450, registered bulls at $500. calves at $50. six-month-old heifers at $120 and six-month-old steers at $150. Under this year’s rates and ratios, a Rappahannock farmer will pay $5.50 in personal property taxes on a registered bull while a farmer in Culpeper will pay $3.75 on the same bull and a farmer in Warren $1.25. Of the six counties, only Fauquier has eliminated taxes on farm machinery but the others all charge less than Rappahannock. At current rates and ratios, a Rappahannock farmer will pay $77 in personal property taxes on a $7,000 tractor. For the same tractor, the bill in Culpeper will be $70, in Madison $67.20, in Page approximately $25, and in Warren $70. Commissioners of revenue have no official guide to use in valuing livestock and household goods. For farm machinery, however, they use schedule F of federal tax returns. In Culpeper, Warren and Madison counties, a piece of farm machinery is dropped from the county tax rolls after it is depreciated out on schedule F federal tax returns, generally seven yers. Rappahannock allows a farmer to depreciate the value of a piece of machinery but it is taxed year after year, never dropped from the tax rolls. Merchants Taxed Higher Too Merchants capital taxes here are applied on onequarter of inventory at the same $4.40 rate as on personal property. Page county taxes 20 per cent of inventory at $2 per $100, Culpeper 40 per cent at $2.50 per $100, Madison 20 per cent of inventory at $4.80 and Fauquier 100 per cent at one Bangs Again Threatens Virginia’s Beef Farmers Brucellosis is back and the news could be the death knell for many Virginia cattlemen. “We’re not in as good shape on bang's disease as we thought we were,” Dr. Tom Bibb warned cattlemen at last week's annual beef cattle management school held at Graves Mountain Lodge in Syria. Six to eight years ago, the federal government advised farmers they no longer needed to vaccinate against brucellosis, more commonly termed bangs. “They thought we had it under control but they’ve learned their lesson. If . we’d kept up that program, we wouldn’t be in the damn mess we are today,” Bibb said. "The damn mess” includes an outbreak of brucellosis that has affected more than 20 Virginia herds to date. Other southern states have been hit much harder. Tennessee reports more than 250 herds with bangs, Florida in excess of 700 affected herds and Texas more than 1,500, according to Bibb. “That’s herds—not cows,” he stressed. The brucellosis bacteria causes infertility and abortions in cows—-disaster in an industry where profits depend on pounds of live calf weaned. But more importantly. the disease is very, very contagious to humans, according to Bibb. “Physicians are concerned because they’re seeing too darned much brucellosis showing up in people. It’s showing up all across the country." In humans, it goes by the common name of undulent fever. Symptoms of the infection include cycles of high fever, listlessness, vomiting, diarrhea and aching joints. Bibb said. Cows may carry brucellosis bacteria in their reproductive systems without ever showing any of its symptoms, according to the veterinary specialist. Danger of infection to humans is highest during calving time. “Be careful when pulling calve$.” Bibb warned, pointing that macho cowboys who take off shirts and gloves to assist at births run excessive risks. Traces In Milk With the current inoculation program, cows can shed traces of the strain 19 brucellosis vaccine with their milk. Bibb said. “If you get enough, you can become sensitized by repeated low doses,” he warned, with a full-fledged indulent fever attack as a result. To avoid sensitization, he cautioned rural - families who keep a family cow to pasteurize raw milk before drinking it. The surge in reported cases has prompted the federal government to institute new regulations on the movement of cattle which will take effect in January. 1982. As of that date. Bibb said, states will be classified as A. B and C for brucellosis. Farmers . from A class states will be able to send cattle anywhere in the U. S. with no extra testing or restrictions. Cattle from B states will have to show negative tests for brucellosis 30 days prior to shipping and then must be quarantined for 60-120 days and retested at their destination. Cattle from class C states will have to show two negative tests 60 days apart prior to leaving the state and must also be quarantined and retested at their destination. Virginia Class B "if we were reclassified tomorrow, Virginia would be a B state.” Bibb said. “I’m afraid we’ll be a B class state in 1982—there’s no way we can get rid of all the brucellosis we already know about,” adding that he'd just received reports of eigfit new herds infected by just me of the previously reported groups. “We’re not making any speed at getting to zero. In fact, if we’re not careful, it wouldn't take much to put Virginia in the C class.” he warned. Under interpretation of the new government regulations. Bibb said yearling sale cattle will have to be bloodtested for brucellosis before going on the block. He noted the outbreak of the disease has sparked improvements in testing techniques that make it possible to differentiate now between a cow with brucellosis and a cow reacting to the vaccine. He warned cattlemen to make sure all stock is tested for bangs before adding animals to the farm herd. If possible, keep new cows isolated and retest. Bibb said, adding that bulls should never be loaned to service a friend’s stock. He related a story to bring home the importance of both admonitions. According to Bibb, a farmer he knew purchased two cows at a dispersal sale, added them to his main herd and tried them with his bull. The cows wouldn't settle so he brought bulls from each of five 20-30 head herds he had pastured in the area and tried them with the two cows. None had any luck at impregnating the cows so he sold them. At market, it was discovered the (Continued on Page 2) cent per $100. Warren County does not have a merchants capital tax. Using $50,000 as total inventory worth, current rates and ratio work out to a merchants capital tax of $550 in Rappahannock compared to $200 in Page. $500 in Culpeper. $480 in Madison and $5 in Fauquier. The proposals for eliminating Rappahannock’s personal property taxes on household goods, farm machinery and livestock will be voted on at a special meeting of the board of supervisors set for December 15 ai 10 a.m. in the courthouse. Judge Seeks Public Input Circuit court judge Shore Robertson will be at the court house in Washington on Wednesday, December 24, beginning at 1:30 p.m. to receive public comment on three appointments to the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals. Vacancies have been created by the resignation of Kermit Weakley from Hampton District and the expiration of the terms of Charles K. Estes from Piedmont and George Muth from Stonewall-Hawthorne. Last week. Robertson asked for nominations from the county board of supervisors. Piedmont supervisor E. P. Luke has suggested Estes be reappointed. StonewallHawthrone supervisor H. B. - Wood has supported Mutb's reappointment and Hampton supervisor Clarence Baldwin has nominated John Burke. Orders confirming the three nominations were carried to Warrenton early last week for Robertson’s signature. The judge, however, decided to delay the appointments to allow interested citizens an opportunity for comment. December 24, the day before Christmas, is the earliest Robertson will be in Rappahannock and have time to meet with people. Birds Outrank Christmas Trees At Quail Call Farm By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Nrw* Staff Writer Quail Call Farm endures hordes of Christmas tree shoppers two weekends out of the year, welcoming them to tromp around 35 acres in search of the perfect evergreen to squeeze in next to the mantle where stockings are hung with such care. For the remaining 361 days, however, the only guests with a standing invitation to wander around Bill and Phyllis Keim’s 220 acres are deer, quail, Canadian geese, ducks, foxes, beaver and other wild creatures of the forests, streams and sky. The Ketms operate Rappahannock’s biggest Christmas tree farm but the business is secondary to Capt. Keim’s primary concern—creating a natural habitat for wildlife. "We bought the farm in I960, thinking that when I retired, I could do a little hunting,” Keim recalled. Following the lead of neighbors who put their land to work, the Navy captain investigated ways of using his acres. The hills wouldn’t lend themselves easily to crops, he found, but the property could provide pasture. There was just one hang-up. "Raising horses and cattle is not compatible with bird life. Very little in the way of agriculture is,” he emphasized. Birds are Keim's passion. With his two English pointers, he travels from Maryland to Maine on the trail of grouse, quail, geese, ducks and other game birds. First and foremost. Quail Call Farm had to be a suitable nesting site and so livestock production was out of the question as a land use. Safe For Birds Keim looked into his options further. “1 found that Christmas trees are the only renewable crop that won’t interfere with bird life,” he said. He first planted in 1961 and now keeps about 1,000 to 1,200 trees ready for harvest each year. A former present and director of the Virginia Tree Growers, Keim started with Scotch pine. The tree with its straight trunk, bright green color and short needles, was the focus of an intensive improvement program. But everything, even Christmas tree production is subject to the fads and whims of a fickle public. The Scotch pine improvement program was abandoned because growers quit planting that variety, Keim noted. The growers quit planting because shoppers quit buying. “The demand has changed. In 1965 and ’66, you’d sell one white nine for every Scotch. Now it's about 50-50." Keim said. The rows of trees at Quail Call reflect this change in buying habits. Keim has some Scotch pine, Colorado blue spruce and Fraser fir but most are white pines. Adaptability to Piedmont Virginia’s environment has also played a part in the selection of trees raised at Quail Call. According to Keim, Scotch pines planted as seedlings have only a 50 per cent survival rate and of the half that lives, only 35 per cent grow into good trees. White pines, on the other hand, have a survival rate of about 90 per cent and practically all turn into trees perfect for Christmas decorating, Keim said. In addition, firs and spruce take twice as long as pines to reach cutting size with spruce the most labor intensive of all the varieties at Quail Call. No PbuttvAnd Forget Christmas tnros may not need the stop-chop sprays, mole control, pruning and fertilizing of an apple orchard but commercial evergreen production is not a stick-it-in-the-ground-andforget-about-h-for-a-couple- forget-about-h-for-a-coupleof-years operation. The trees don’t automatically shape themselves into cones. They have to be trimmed at least once every season. Pines aayl firs can be sheared in the winter as well as during growing months and need to be cut only at the top, Keim said. Spruce can’t be sheared during cold months and must have every single branch cut, he added. By mixing varieties, Keim continued, he is able to spread out the trimming work load over the entire year, enabling the farm to carry more trees. Weeds are also a headache in a Christmas tree operation since they can choke the life from seedlings. In addition, uneven sun light, especially with Scotch pines, produces lopsided growth. ' “Half the answer to weeding is propr soil preparation,” Keim said. He first bushhogs a strip four feet wide and then adds lime until the soil reaches a PH of 6.5, lethal for dew and blackberries. Then he sprays brush kille’r, makes four passes with a tiller to chop the soil fine and allows the ground to settle for a month before the seedlings are planted. After more than an inch of rain falls, Keim goes over the plot with a herbicide that will ^ keep the rows completely weed-free. ”1 don’t use paraquat,” he emphasized. “That will kill all the wildlife for 21 days. A deer grazes it and dies. Paraquat’s cheap but it’s deadly.” (Continued on Page 7) —Rappahannock New* Photo/Daphne Hutchinson TIMBER! Bill Keim steadies a Christmas tree as Cliff Sutherland weilds the chain saw. Keim’s Quail Call Farm in Amissville donates culled evergreens that have grown a little lopsided or are missing a few branches to the Rannahannock Garden Club each year for that organization s Christmas wreaths and garlands. Last week, Sutherland and his wile Martha with Maurice and Jane Herndon hauled away two pick-up loads of pines. t

Panthers Fight To Bitter End, But Fall To Fauquier 88-54 By SUE FREAKLEY Drmorrw Staff THkr The Rappahannock Panthers never gave up Tuesday night when they suffered an 88-54 loss to the neighboring Fauquier Falcons at Rappahannock High School.

Falcon Elliot Nelson made it 4-2. Carl Frye tied the score again for the Panthers, but Fauquier rallied for six consecutive baskets to take a commanding 16-4 lead. Fletcher added a point for Rappahannock on a free throw and Mike Leake made it 16-7 on two foul shots. Baskets by each squad made it 18-9 and two free throws by Fauquier's Bruce Smith made it 20-9.

That’s younger than Fauquier’s jayvee team.’’ said Rappahannock head coach Jim Logan. “We learned a lot. The purpose of this game was to get us ready for conference play. It was just like a clinic for us. a training session. It did us a world of good.” Logan said. Two of Rappahannock’s top six players were hurt and more were sick. Logan said the squad probably wouldn't have had as many turnovers if all of the team had been healthy. He said the team had about 30 turnovers and that really disappointed him. "Mike Leake played a real strong game. 1 was pleased with his performance,” Logan said. "1 think Coach (Rod) Apple (of Fauquier) has done a fine job, they're running all the time. 1 thought they (the Falcons) were very unselfish, they went to the open man all night. They can all score and they're fast," Logan said. The coach also commented that the calibre of play in the Skyline District is not up to the level of Fauquier, which is in the Commonwealth District.

It will probably end up in a county-wide test—all from those two cows.” The infection can spread easily from nearby herds. Bibb continued. Other cows will lick the aborted fetus, dogs may drag the carcass to an adjoining farm, buzzards can carry the bacteria. In infected animals, abortion, usually in the last half of gestation, and infertility are the only symptoms and the only cure for an infected herd is testing and slaughter, according to the veterinary specialist. “There’s nothing wrong with the meat for human consumption,” Bibb emphasized.

At slaughter when required tests are conducted is when most cases of brucellosis have been discovered in Virginia, according to the specialist. The backtag indicates which market the animal came from and records there show who consigned the sale.

Bibb reported. The reduced dose should cut down on traces of brucellosis shed by dairy cattle into milk, he indicated. After the January 1 deadline, veterinarians will no longer be able to buy strain 19 vaccine from suppliers. Bibb continued. All the new reduced dose vaccine will be shipped to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and then to six regional labs before dispersal to vets. "Each dose will be measured by the state...We will be getting a good, tested product." said Bibb, adding that he wasn’t yet sure whether the vaccine would be sold or given to veterinarians. With the reduced dose vaccine, it will be possible to vaccinate two to four month old heifers at weaning time against brucellosis. Bibb said. The new program also requires that calves be tattooed in the ear, showing a shield and the quarter of the year in which the inoculation was administered. “It’s more trouble but the important thing is to get those calves vaccinated," Bibb said. “We’ve got brucellosis in Virginia now—probably more now than we did 20 years ago."

Bibb said he would vaccinate rather than test every heifer against brucellosis. “I think down the line, we’re going to see a requirement that all female calves be vaccinated even if they’re going to a feedlot.” he said. But Bibb maintained that peer pressure from concerned cattlemen is the only way to control brucellosis in Virginia. For every positivereacting cow found by testing, probably a hundred more get away, he said, noting that there’s no way all the roads leading from producers to buyers and markets can be patrolled. Farmers who are testing their herds for brucellosis will have to pressure their neighbors to do likewise. “No matter what the law and regulations require, the only people who are going to control brucellosis are you all,” Bibb told a silent room of cattle producers. in the Straw" at the 11 a.m. worship service on Sunday, December 21.

Holidays Come Alive At House Of Dried Flowers / Mit-niaAntiniULUS Rappohannooh Newt Staff Writer If you’re looking for dried flowers to tuck into greens for your Christmas decorations, or other holiday decorating ideas, the House of Dried Flowers in Sperryville can provide you with German statice, baby’s breath, strawflowers, globe amaranth and countless other dried flowers to give your wreaths or centerpieces a magical look. Ches and Hugh Chrisman’s shop on Rt. 211 has the necessary supplies for anyone who likes to celebrate Christmas by making decorations and presents with a creative personal touch. In addition to the dried flowers, the Chrismans offer tiny scenes and miniature people to hid inside hollow eggs for Christmas ornaments or gifts. There are hundreds of spools of colorful Christmas ribbon—tartans, ginghams, calicos, velvet, satin and grosgrain—to tie up a present or a wreath. If you’re not the type to undertake craft projects at Christmas time, make the trip to Sperryville anyway to see the special Christmas room—a section of the store packed with Christmas ornaments and little decorations of every kind. There are wax ornaments from Germany, wooden snowflakes from Sweden, and colorful Christmas cards from all over. Ches Chrism an’s first love, though, is her flowers. “I’ve loved flowers ever since I was a child,” she said. “I’ve always had some kind of hobby involving flowers —growing them, drying them, or arranging them.”' Her husband, Hugh, said that he thought that the real spark that turned her interest in flowers into a full-fledged business was a gift she received from one of her children—a box of silica gel. "Before the availability of silica gel we dried flowers with sand, or just hung them up to dry, or we found them already dry in the field.” Ches said. She explained that thick flowers like roses or chrysanthemums are very hard to dry successfully without the special silica solution. The Chrismans are able to offer customers an unusual selection of dried flowers by supplementing standard kinds that can be ordered with those that they grow in their large garden and those that they scavenge in fields and meadows. These activities, as well as the work of running the shop, keep the Chrismans busy all the time. For Hugh it is a second career. He is retired from the Naval Research Laboratory. For Ches, the House of Dried Flowers is a third or fourth career. Before raising their three children she was a dietician and also taught school. The Sperryville shop is her third location; before moving here in 1973 she had shops in Alexandria at Thieves Market and Old Town. “We drove through Sperryville sometimes and we liked it,” Hugh said. “We realized we needed a larger shop and I was ready to retire. So we found this house and opened up here.” The Chrismans live in the building that houses their shop, sharing their home with seven cats as well as the dried flower business. They're open every day except Tuesdays. Bring a child with you when you visit the House of Dried Flowers to see the window display of animated figures decorating the Christmas tree. When we saw it, the cozy scene was complete with a real cat asleep under the tree. The Chrismans have three children: Chris of Hughesville, Md.; Nancy Osborne of Lorton; and Alice, who works at the Mental Health Clinic in Rappahannock. Christmas Program And Carol Sing Again members of the recently named Rappahannock Players, who collaborated to produce the highly successful presentation of “H.M.S. Pinafore” in early October, are giving time and skills to observe the Gifts That Matter By GLEN H. MITCHELL The holiday season should be a special time, a time to reflect on what is really important and worthwhile. It is a time to give and receive love and to develop a better understanding of ourselves and those around us. Now. more than ever, we need to differentiate between commercial aspects of Christmas and the real giving of ourselves. Many persons tend to judge themselves and others by how much the/ receive from each other. Don’t fall into the trap of equating money and expensive gifts with love. Instead of spending a lot of money, give of yourself. Do something for another person; make something for them; or spend time with them. Children should be taught to give love and the importance of giving as well as receiving. Those who don’t have children or a family may be tempted to ignore the holidays. But holidays are a time for escape, for recreation in the true sense of the word, as a time to reconstitute ourselves as whole people, and as such should never be ignored. Instead of feeling left out. those who *re alone might reach out to others. Many youngsters would like to have an older person to look up to. ' to help them feel like a whole person. Likewise, older individuals enjoy contact with those younger than themselves. People of all different generations can get together to generate a feeling of family togetherness to celebrate the holidays. Those with children should take the time to explain the spirit of the holidays to them. The sights of Christmas can be especially confusing to non-Christian children who do not celebrate this holiday in the home. Parents should explain the customs and traditions of other faiths to their children, and Christian and non-Christian friends should take advantage of this time of year to share the meanings of their own customs and rituals. The gift of understanding and sharing' is an important one for both children and adults. An excellent gift for( yourself this season is to keep careful watch on spending. Even when you have decided to give gifts of love and time, it is difficult to ignore the spending momentum that can build up to create a real financial problem later. The excitement of the crowds and the lavish displays are tempting. Introduce good consumer habits into the family by planning ahead, looking at alternatives and adjusting to realistic expectations. Set limits on what to, spend and watch for the warning signals of overspending. It’s dangerous to arrange cash loans to finance gifts or use credit cards impulsively. Don't take on more payments and debts than you can comfortably afford to pay back in the near future. Let the holidays be a time for loving and sharing and learning. Those are things that money can never buy and are all the more precious because of it. &tf—n *4t. I rnmmmmmm RfAUOK- mM FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS How good are home fire alarm systems? Any working fire-detection and alarm system gives protection. But for really complete protection in the average home, you need a complete system. Fire alarm systems vary, but good ones have several points in common: 1. The components of the system are approved by Underwriters Laboratories or Factory Mutual Laboratories. 2. The system is served by its own electrical circuit. : 3. The alarm is loud and centrally located. Ideally you should also have a loud alarm to rouse your neighbors. 4. Provision is made SO that you can test the system occasionally without building a fire in the house. S. There are enough detectors to give complete coverage of the house. In other words, no ' matter where a fire breaks out, a detector would be close by to sense the rise in temperature and set off the alarm. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please >phone or drop in at ‘EILEEN M. DAY, REALTOR. Middle Street, Washington. Hone: 675-3400, We’re here to help. ’’ Christmas season at the county seat. Friday evening, December 19, at the Town Hall on Gay Street (the former Methodist Church), beginning at 7 p.m., there will be a telling of “The Christmas Story” with carols accompanying, and costumed pantomimists acting selections from the gospels of St. Matthew and St. Luke. Following this there will be a temporary exodus of the Players to sing carols in the streets of Washington, making occasional stops, and returning to the community tree opposite the courthouse to sing and to light the newly bedecked tree. After this brief ceremony the group will return to the Town Hall for an open house. There will be cookies, warm cider and punch and, as it is hoped to begin a new custom in the county, all who can join these activities, which are free, are welcome. One postscript: anyone willing to give or loan outdoor lights for the community tree, please leave them at Eileen M. Day's office in the Gopton House in care ot Mitzie Young.

Nursing Course Applications are currently being accepted for the Piedmont Technical Education Center nusing class which is scheduled to begin in late August, 1981.

Operation RESPECT Denounces Slob Hunters Operation Respect, a statewide coalition of sportsmen. recently denounced acts of vandalism by slob hunters in Nelson County as the type of activity that lends to give all sportsmen a bad name. According to WESTVACO, they threatened and harassed a company worker on company property, them disabled his vehicle. Nearby, somepn# shot up a caterpillar tractor and motor grader, ruining radiators and windows and causing an estimated $10,000 in damage. "It is this type of senseless act by groups of hoodlums calling themselves hunters that gives the public their generally bad impression of sportsmen,” said Operation Respect Chairman Art Leggett. The Operation Respect Program subscribed to by Menu Sursum Corda Monday Chicken and dumplings, green beans with butter, hot rolls with butter and honey, applesauce, milk. Tuesday Baked beans, corn bread with butter, lima beans with butter, Shenandoah apple pie, milk. Wednesday Cheese and tomato sandwiches, peas with butter, celery sticks, pineapple meringue pie, milk. Thursday Cream of tomato soup, bean taco with lettuce, tomato and cheese, deviled eggs, applesauce with raisins, milk. Friday Pita bread with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes and sprouts, kale with butter, baked carrot with honey, gingerbread brownies, milk. some 50.000 sportsmen in Virginia is dedicated to combating this type of occurrence through peer pressure, by employing the full force of the law, by lobbying for new laws, and through education. Sportsmen backing the program have agreed to cooperate in putting pressure to conform on their fellow users of the outdoors. WESTVACO has offered a $1000 reward for information leading to arrests and convictions in these cases. Leggett urged Operation Respect cooperation to help nab these villains and others of their ilk. “There are approximately 20 clubs that lease 14.000 acres in 16 Piedmont Virginia counties," said Dave Coffman. Public Affairs Forester with WESTVACO. Leases on the two properties where the incidents took place were cancelled. One was later reinstated. “It’s just too bad that a lot of hunters who know how to act responsibly and are innocent of any of this are Still going to have to be punished because of the actions of a few," Coffman said. At an Operation Respect Seminar at Fort Pickett in 1979. several major timber companies announced they were on the verge of closing their lands to hunting because of these problems. Operation Respect’s strongest effort has been in the area of education, but the group is working on a legislative program and a program for easing Sportsman-Landowner conflicts.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11,1980 Try Home First As families check off the names on their buying lists, we’d like once again to remind folks to try Christmas shopping in Rappahannock. Dollars spent in our community stay in the county to support our businesses, government and schools. We have hundreds of unique choices on the shelves of our gift and craft stores—one of a kind baskets, handblown glass pieces, pottery, paintings, photographic prints. patchwork pillowrs, and clothes, apple dolls, dried flowers, furniture—many are the work of local people—the list is a mile long. In addition, our businesses have a wide selection of quality goods imported from beyond the county’s borders. We’ve heard store keepers complain that Rappahannock residents bring their friends in to see the picturesque shops in Washington and Sperryville. They’re proud of the quality of commercial ventures here and delight in hearing visitors “ooh” and “aah” over the quaint little stores. But they don’t spend their money. It’s primarily tourists who drive 50 to 100 miles for the excellent buys offered in Rappahannock who support our businesses. In the commercial world, anything that isn’t used, disappears. If we don’t patronize Rappahannock’s shops and stores, not just at Christmas but throughout the year, we may wake up one morning and find “closed” signs nailed up on doors and windows. * Shopping in the county is a far cry from braving the madhouses that pass for urban malls and centers. Here, we don’t fight traffic. We don’t have to contend with harried and unpleasant sales people. We bring most of our Christmas spirit home with us instead of leaving it at the department store cash register. When we shop at home, the customer gets what she wants - a quality gift that will be cherished and appreciated. The merchant makes money and the profits are ploughed back into the community, directly and through sales tax revenues returned by the state. Try shopping at home first and make it a merrier Christmas for everyone. Holiday Stress Creates Burden Too much as well as too little stress will create an emotional burden for many people in this holiday season and if allowed to culminate, could turn into depression. According to Donald K. Jones. M. D., director of medicolegal services for the Virginia Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, “Holidays in our society tend to be tremendously stressful in that there are so many things to do. Shopping, preparations for parties, meals, entertaining and social obligations within and without the family structure can be hectic and stressful to the person that is already overburdened. This stress tends to lead to depression." Dr. Jones, also assistant clinical professor of psychiatry. Medical College/ of Virginia — Virginia Commonwealth University, says depression may slowly build over the holidays. "Usually, the depression comes as a let down after the holidays. Some call it ‘holiday blues' but it’s just as likely to occur as post holiday blues. “This is seen in the increasing amount of people admitted to state hospitals and clinics 10 days to three weeks after the holidays. This admittance rate stays high for several weeks in January. “Young mothers with children at home are most likely to be affected by post holiday depression due to the substantial increase in their responsibilities.” Persons that five alone are also targeted for holiday depression. “The holidays serve to dramatize their own isolation and loneliness” says Dr. Jones, adding “anybody can become depressed, depending on their reaction to stress.” “Some of the symptoms of depression appear as a feeling of being down in the dumps, tearfulness, a loss of interest in outside activities and a change in sleep patterns. Other family members may notice a slowness in speech, and a slower than normal cognitive response.” To avoid the downs during this up season Dr. Jones advises. “Take it easy, relax, and don’t take everything too seriously. You have to learn during the holiday season to set priorities without feeling guilty. You can’t do everything. "Scrooge may have turned into a paragon of benevolence, but in a lot of ways Scrooge was right about all the ‘humbug’ connected with Christmas. Most people feel this way about the commercial trappings of Christmas. The religious significance should be emphasized and the enjoyment of giving not because you have to, but because you want to.” “Most important." says Dr. Jones, “people should learn to be selfish. "Enjoy the holiday season without obligating yourself too much. Watch yourself and try to do what is best for you—if we all do this, our chances for avoiding depression are pretty good." Dr. Jones said that both private practitioners and community mental health clinics are available for those who need consultation in the holiday season. The Virginia Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation, one of the many human resources agencies “working together to help you.” is promoting this message to help make everyone’s Christmas enjoyable. &*:: ■ Panther Tales By ROBIN COOPER AND RUSTY SETTLE The SCA held a meeting December 3 to discuss the SCA Christmas project which would be beneficial to those not as fortunate as others; to discuss the classroom door decorating contest and to An old flame can break your heart.

The SCA Christmas basket drive will begin Monday and continue through Wednesday. December 17. The entire student body is asked to participate by bringing canned or dried foods or a toy of some kind that is in good condition. These things will be collected in homerooms by SCA representatives. At the end of the drive all of the food and toys will be gathered and separated into baskets. Members of the SCA will deliver the Christmas baskets to the homes of those whom we were given the opportunity to help. The cooperation of parents in making our drive successful is appreciated. Students have begun decorating their homeroom doors which will be judged Friday, December 12, and a prize will be awarded the room with the most spirit. By the end of the week our halls should look festive with Christmas decorations. Mr. James W. Wood, the biology teacher at RCHS, was nominated as “Teacher of the Month” by the SCA. He was chosen for his devotion to his students, his good teaching ability and for his personality. Mr. Wood received a cake Monday morning, compliments of the SCA.

Latham Letters To The Editor Signs To the editor: I would like to take this opportunity to clarify the information of last week’s editorial which was in part incorrect. Paul and Joan St.Gair did not knowingly violate any law regarding signs as so stated. We did exactly as we were directed to do regarding putting up a sign in a noncommercial zone. We paid the Planning office S40.(X) to apply for a Special Use Permit to erect a sign in an area we felt would not further add to the clutter of Real Estate signs, apple signs. Farmers Market signs. Luray Caverns Signs, Lions Oub signs. Boy Scouts signs and school activities and civic signs. The only argument used to deny the permit was exactly what was declared to us as the reason we had to pay $40,000 and acquire a Special Use Permit, i.e.. Not adjacent to or at a Commercial Location. Well, there are only about three spots which supposedly are Commercial locations, hence all the clutter where they are. We were further informed that we had the right to erect a sign at a Commercial location so we did but only after we had no other alternative. So perhaps some skilled person could come up with a document of some sort to be handed to persons seeking information from the Planning Office so that the public can come away from that office correctly informed about what is expected or even required of an inquiring citizen. I would further like to offer this for thought— No advertisement—No business—less help for-' the bills for education and other thusly supported programs. Perhaps no Land Sales—Who would want to or could afford to live here and pay large telephone bills or gasoline bills because the closest place to shop is at least 20 miles away? Perhaps the residents of the County will just give up and tell the Governor that he’s welcome to Rappahannock County for his nuclear waste dump she. KATHERINE J.

The idea for the forum grew out of concerns over environmental effects of uranium mining raised by Marline Uranium Corporation's efforts to negotiate uranium mining leases with landowners in Culpeper, Madison, Orange and Fauquier counties. Marline representatives and other experts on the uranium industry will be the featured speakers at next week’s forum, the first of at least two sessions designed to promote public dialogue. Landowners faced with a leasing decision will be given information that may help them negotiate important lease protections, according to PEC. Recently, the Piedmont Environmental Council’s Board of Directors voted unanimously to advise landowners against signing uranium mining leases for the time being. Citing concerns over possible problems in the lease agreements, potential contamination of water supplies from exploration activities, air pollution from IdUUH ICICdiCS, WdMC U15^dl and public health impacts, among others. PEC has urged area residents not to commit their lands to uranium mining or exploration until more information has been gathered and aired in public. At next Tuesday’s forum. Dr. Peter Montague of Princeton University, author of ’’Mercury” and “No World Without End.” will give a slide presentation on the environmental and occupational problems associated with the uranium industry, including impacts on water quality and quantity experienced in other areas of the country. Dr. William Lochstet, assistant professor of physics at the Pennsylvania State University, will discuss longterm effects of radon releases from uranium mining operations; and Dr. Joseph Wagoner, past director of the uranium mining research for the U. S. Public Health Service, will discuss study findings regarding the health of miners and mining communities. Dr. Wagoner, graduate of the Harvard University School of Public Health, worked for the Public Health Service for 20 years and was given a commendation award by the U. S. Surgeon General for his research work on uranium mining. Atwell Somerville, Orange County attorney with the firm of Somerville, Moore, Joyner, Ltd., will also participate in the forum to discuss provisions of mineral leases and cautions for landowners who are considering entering into mining agreements. Format for the meeting will also include time for questions and discussion from the audience. Following the meeting, there will be a reception with refreshments. Contacted in October, a spokesman for Marline told the Rappahannock News that the company had no plans for conducting uranium exploration or mining in Rappahannock County. At that time. Marline had already signed 15-year mineral leases on approximately 4,000 acres in Madison, Orange, Fauquier and Culpeper counties. Recruit Training Navy Seaman Recruit Donna R. Cooper, daughter of Robert W. and Dorothy L. Ludwick of Castleton, has completed recruit training at the Naval Training Center, Orlando, Fla. During the eight-week training cycle, trainees studied general military subjects designed to prepare them for further academic and on-the-job training in one of the Navy's 85 basic occupational fields.

A Stitch In Time Creates Companionship By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New. Suff Writer Adding a new twist to an old adage, Bertha and Stanley Williams of Chester Gap prove that the couple lhat sews together stays together. They’ve tightened the knot tied by the preacher with their joint interests in needlework —hers embroidery and his quilting. At 73, Stanley Williams has two steamer trunks and a wardrobe full of quilts he’s sewn. For most of the 40some quilts in his collection he’s added matching pillows that brighten the beds in the Williams' upstairs rooms. Quilting is not an art that Stanley learned at his grandfather’s knee. He was too busy to worry about hobbies, first as a merchant for 25 years with a country store and then as a carpenter and contractor. It wasn’t until arthritis in the knees forced him into retirement about six years ago that he began looking around for a way to keep his hands busy. “I needed something to pass the time,” he explained. According to his wife, Stanley saw her sewing machine sitting on the kitchen table one day and decided to give it a try. “He got to sewing and then got it in his head to start quilting and went from there,” Bertha recalled. “Now if I start the machine, he gets in front of it.” she chuckled. Armed with a book on quilting as a guide, Stanley began with traditional designs. He’s made quilts in patterns of stars and patchwork created from scraps Forest Service Offers Jobs A limited number of temporary summer seasonal positions during 1981 are being made available by the United States Forest Service.

Wakefield School Launches Building Fund Drive Dr. and Mrs. William Lynn, administrators of Wakefield School in Huntly, presented the preliminary plans for a proposed gymnasium-natatorium complex to parents at the school’s parents’ association meeting December 9. The architectural drawings for the gym were shown and desired features discussed. Plans include a full-sized high school basketball court with retractable seating and instructional play areas, a 25yard pool, lockerroom facilities and lobby area. The increased enrollment last fall, the largest in the school’s history, has necessitated the addition of facilities to accommodate particularly the preparatory students, according to Lynn. The first phase of the building expansion program was completed last fall with the addition of a science laboratory. The program will resume in the spring with construction of an academic building, lunch room and library complex. The proposed gymnasium is the only construction which will be funded by individual donations, as well as by grants from foundations and business corporations. In support of a major fund-raising drive for the new gym, Lynn pointed out that equal importance must now be placed on the physical as well as academic development of the students. At the meeting, building fund chairman, Lt. Col. Robert Ingle of Washington, explained the strategy for securing the first $100,000 of the projected building costs. He said the drive involved parents initially in pledges and in helping to establish contacts in business and Building? •Paint •Lumber | •Milwork •Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Buiding Material Co* Inc. on the By-Pus Wvrenton 3W-WD0 ' industry fop direct'solicitation by the committee.

In a steamer trunk rests a rail fence, windmill and drunkard’s walk, the last perfectly named for designs that stagger and reel across the material. As he refined his quilting skills, Stanley branched out and created his own patterns ranging from pastel circles which look as soft as they feel to jagged lines that evoke images of American Indian an. He doesn’t market his handiwork. “You just couldn’t make enough to pay yourself for the hours,” he acknowledged with a shake of the head. “I’m making them for my grandchildren. I just haven’t given the quilts to them yet.” (For the record, his grandchildren don’t number the same as his quilts. Stanley may have 35 to 40 quilts but he has only 12 grandchildren.) Embroidered Treasures Not to be outdone by her husband’s collection, Bertha has her own steamer trunk, hers full of embroidery she’s done over the past ten years. As “something to do in the wintertime,’’ she picks up her needles after supper and uses them to create flowers that bloom year round. On sets of pillow cases for each month, Bertha has stitched crocuses, daffodils, violets, roses, snapdragons and other favorites found in flower beds, borders and trellises. Of course, December’s pillow cases have a poinsettia. She makes up most of the designs, incorporating her love for flowers. On table cloths, place mats and more pillow cases that lie wrapped in plslic for protection layers deep in the trunk, flowers fall from hands of lovely ladies, scatter from flying birds and spill out of bowls and baskets shared with kittens. On one of Bertha s favorites, shiny green holly with bright berries trails around the edges of a white table cloth. Asked if it isn’t time to unpack her Christmas linen, Bertha just smiled. Use her embroidered' treasures? “No indeed, no indeed, no indeed,” she replied. “I’ll never use any of them!" But why keep all that beauty put away where no . one can admire her skills with an embroidery needle and Stanley’s as a quilter? “I guess we’re just a couple of old pack rats,” Bertha concluded with a grin. — Kaiqiahannort l,K.Ki./Trrr»« KnnokN STANLEY WILLIAMS, Chester Gap’s senior quilter. displays one of the 41) some quilts he’s finished since he began sewing just a few years ago. — Ha|ifwh«nniiri V<». 1'h.Ho'7v><« STANLEY AND BERTHA WILLIAMS display an embroidered tablecloth, just one in a plastic wrapped Mack that fills a steamer trunk.

Highway Department Receives Awards Virginia highway facilities have won two of the seven first place awards for design excellence in nationwide competition conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal High Administration (FHWA). Interstate 77 in Carroll County was selected as the best new rural highway and the restored Meems Bottom covered bridge in Shenandoah County was cited as the best example of environmental preservation and enhancement. The prize-winning facilities were planned and constructed under the direction of the Virginia Department of Highways and Transportation, and were selected from among nominations submitted by 66 governmental agencies in 40 states and 26 localities throughout the country. The 25-mile of Interstate 77 between Poplar Camp and the North Carolina state line in mountainous Carroll County was chosen for its "excellence in design, alignment, and location, and its preservation of surrounding natural areas,” federal officials said. The highway. which parallels the curving US 52 through the mountains, provides a safer route for local residents and travelers. It also opened up one of the most beautiful sections of the eastern United States and made the area more accessible to tourists and industry, they said. The nearly century-old Meems Bottom bridge just south of Mount Jackson was brought back to life by the department after it was virtually' destroyed by arsonists on Halloween. 1976. The structure's heart pine twin arches survived the fire and made it possible for the department’s engineers to duplicate the original bridge, whose unique arch-truss design was patented by Aaron Burr’s brother. Warped arches were realigned, joints and timbers were sandblasted and filled, and steel bars were placed for reinforcement and safety. The original timber was protected with a fireretardant varnish and the new lumber was pressurepealed with preservative and Model Train Shop The Model Train Shop at 220 East Main St., Front Royal, Va., is having a Christinas Special Sale on two of their Lionel Train sets.

In this case, often the foot hurts more when a person first gets out of bed in the morning, or has been sitting for a while and then tries to get up and walk. In many cases the foot tends to rotate inward as the person walks which causes extra stress on the ligament. Obesity is an irritating factor, but is not a cause of heel pain. Sports and running may also be irritating factors. Heel pain can be treated with simple methods such as strappings (taping the foot so that it will not rotate as much), physical therapy and medication. Surgery is usually the last resort.

Bills Must Be Itemized Many people in the Culpeper area wait longer than necessary to receive payment from their Medicare medical insurance because they failed to submit itemized bills with their request for payment form, Bruce A. Hundley social security « district manager in Culpeper, said recently. Medical insurance is the part of Medicare that helps pay for doctor bills, outpatient hospital bills, and other items and services not covered by hospital insurance. \Tb receive payment under mpdjeal insurance, a person gcmrally submits a request for t pjiyment form and the doctorXor other supplier completes!part of the form or provides an itemized bill to send with uie form. The troubled Hundley said,'s is that often the bill does not ‘ provide a detailed description of the services provided and therefore, a decision cannot be made as to whether they are covered. As a result, the patient must be contacted for more information and payment is delayed. To prevent this delay, the person should be sure that each bill shows: —A description of each service provided; —The date the service was provided: —The place the service was provided: —The charge for each service provided; —The doctor or supplier who provided each service, and: —The person's name and health insurance claims number, exactly as they appear on the Medicare card. It is helpful if the diagnosis is also shown. Mr. Hundley said. Conference Department of Business Education and Office Administration at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond.

RSVP has been under way for several years in adjoining counties, creating meaningful opportunities for persons of retirement age to participate more fully in the life of their communities through volunteer service. The program recruits persons 60 years and over to share their talents, experience and skills in service to others. According to Robert Cowan, volunteer coordinator for Fauquier in charge of expanding the program into Rappahannock, RSVP is looking for both volunteers and stations where they may serve. Cowan said Monday that he has already signed memos of understanding with the county welfare department, health department, library and Rappahannock County High School in which the agencies agreed to use senior volunteers. Once the memo is signed, agency volunteers in RSVP qualify for certain benefits, including accident and liability coverage, 15 cents per mile payments on travel to and from their stations and on transportation services they may provide, and $1.86 towards lunch if they work through the lunch period. “To get these benefits, the agencies receiving volunteer help must sign up with RSVP,” Cowan emphasized. Currently, RSVP is looking for senior volunteers willing to provide transportation for health department and mental health clinic clients. “We can always use drivers and so many people over 60 can t drive or no longer have a car,” Cowan said. Transportation volunteers are also used to carry other RSVP participants to their stations. According to Cowan, the Rappahannock welfare department needs people to visit shut-ins to see if welfare services they ^receive kre adequate as well as typing and clerical help in administering the fuel assistance program which began December 1, while the library is looking for someone to take books to shut-ins and to the high school. Principal Dennis Wingfield hopes that RSVP will give his students a feeling of what goes on in the world outside Rappahannock, according to Cowan, and so would like to have volunteer speakers with broad travel backgrounds, business experience, unique occupations or hobbies. Cowan is also looking for teachers interested in giving craft instruction. The only criteria for participation is that volunteers must be 60 or over and retired or semi-retired, the coordinator said. He added that he evaluates interests using a simple form that volunteers are required to fill out and then makes assignments that take advantage of what the volunteer has to offer. For further information, call Cowan in Warrenton at 347-2797 or RSVP director Helen Dunbar in Culpeper at 825-3519. RSVP provides benefits in three areas—to the elderly, who are given a chance to remain active and needed, to the persons receiving services and to the community agencies the volunteers assist.

Culpapar, Va. n Quail Call Farm Is Home For Christmas Trees and Wildlife (Continued from Page 1) Wildlife Top Priority His attitude towards herbicides is a clue towards to Quail Call’s true purpose. "The farm is really run for wildlife, not Christmas trees." Keim admitted. One of two farm ponds is drained every year and planted with millet for water fowl. Wood ducks, mallards and black ducks who make their homes on a center island and in custom-built houses around the banks migrate a few hundred yards to a second pond during the annual planting. They stay on this brood pond all summer, fed by Keim. Blue bird houses, all occupied by bright colored tenants, are scattered around the fields. Quail Call s Christmas trees are planted in rows ten feet apart, much more space than normally allowed. Keim gave the seedlings extra room partially so he could use large machinery for tree care but primarily so he could disc up the ground for wildlife planting. “I have over 90 bird food plots I put in for quail, deer and turkey,” the captain acknowledged. “I plant 13 wheat plots each year. During the winter, wild turkeys and quail raise their whole broods in there,” he continued. Lespedeza goes in every spring, along with autumn olive, bush honeysuckle and millet planted especially for doves. Trails wind into dells and along streams so Keim can take his 4-wheel drive jeep back to check on his more inaccessible wildlife food supplies.. Keim blends land use with land care. Like the Indians hundreds of years before him, he uses without abuse, leaving his 220 acres a more natural environment than he found the property 15 years ago. It's ironic that Keim bought the Amissville farm for hunting. “I haven’t killed a quail on this farm in four years,” he said, adding that he liked watching the small birds more than shooting them, at least at Quail Call. Besides, he noted, winters have.been .hard oft quail'for the .past.i several years. “Normally, I’d have 22 or 23 coveys here. Now I’m down to four or five.’’ Ducks too, can relax at Quail Call. “When I say I hunt, I mean I’ve taken ten ducks in 15 years. I raise 150 each year so I don’t hurt them,” Keim explained. Along with indulging his passion for hunting trips up and down the East Coast and tackling the labor intensive chores involved in raising Christmas trees, Keim has been busy organizing the Chesapeake Wildlife Heritage, a group dedicated to teaching landowners how to build a wetlands habitat and improve both winter and year-round nesting. He’s also trying to get state agencies, particularly the VPI Extension Service and ASCS offices, to aid wildlife by encouraging landowners to include a nesting island when they put in farm stock ponds. Keim would like to see the birth of wildlife heritage organizations throughout the Cut-Y our-Own Rappahannock residents who don’t want to chop down a tree on the back 40 can harvest an evergreen grown just for Christmas decorating at several different farms in the area. Ralph Woodruff, a retired statistician from the census bureau, operates Yule Log Christmas Tree Farm on Route 637, near the Kennels two miles in from the turn-off at Route 647. His hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday until Christmas. Blue and Norway spruce, Scotch and white pine from five to seven feet can be cut for S10 or dug for $15 with vexar wrap $1 extra. Bill Keim’s Quail Call Farm is on Route 642, 2.5 miles off Route 211 at Amissville. The farm will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on December 13, 14, 20 and 21 for cutting Colorado blue spruce six to eight feet, white pine five to seven feet, Scotch pine six to eight feet and Fraser fir six to seven feet. Pines are $1.50 per foot plus $1, fir and spruce $3 per foot. Vexar packaging is provided at no charge. Sean and Sharon Kilpatrick’s Hawthorne Farm will be open December 12, 13, 14, 19, 20 and 21 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Appointments for tree cutting at other hours can be made by calling 9878252. The Kilpatrick’s, located on Route 618 about a mile in from Route 231 in the F. T. Valley, offer medium sized firs and spruces and large Scotch pine, most grown for cathedral ceilings, at $2 per foot. Owl Hollow Christmas trees at the property of Michael Fling on Route 730 east of Amissville has long needle northern white pines for cutting. They’re open weekends from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Route 611 west Amissville, Frank McWhirt grows and sells Christmas trees. He was not available for further information. There are a few points to remember in providing care that will keep a freshly cut tree looking fresher longer. After you get the tree home, cut an inch off the main stem, place it in a clean pail of warm water and put it in a cool, shaded area protected from wind and sun. Cut another inch off before the tree is brought into the house and then place it in a . stand designed to hold water or in a pail of clean «: sand to which water can be added. different areas of Virginia in Piedmont, in Tidewater, in the Blue Ridge. He noted that the RappahannockRapidan area is now home to flocks of Canadian geese, thanks to efforts of conservationists Nick Arundel of The Plains, G. Richard Thompson of Marshall and Lewis Strauss of Brandy Station. “The potential along this whole estuary is fabulous!” he concluded. On December 13, 14, 20 and 21, Quail Call will host Christmas tree shoppers from as far away as Norfolk in Virginia, Damascus in Maryland, even as many miles distant as North Carolina. Most are repeat visitors to Amissville. The Keims do little advertising. They rely on word of mouth and return trips from former buyers who are sent a card each year, announcing when the farm is open for cutting. Visitors bring their children, their parents, aunts, uncles and cousins in a search through row after row of everygreens for the family tree. After chopping down their pick, they can visit the beaver dam whose matriarch fought long and hard before giving up on her original homeshe, a spot that blocked access to-a hillside of pines. They can wander and watch for deer and other wildlife that have made Keim’s carefully planted woods home. They can investigate duck houses that stand waiting for Quail Call’s most important seasonal visitors. At the Keim’s tree farm, they can sample a bit of the simple pleasures of Christmas in the country.
