Ringing of the church bells at noon will signal the start of the annual Independence Day pageant on the court house steps. Land Use Applications Being Accepted me commissioner oi Revenue’s office will begin taking applications for land use taxation on Wednesday, July 15. Under the land use program, property in four categories (agriculture, horticulture, forestal and open space) is assessed for tax purposes at its production value rather than its fair market value. In order to qualify, applicants must meet criteria on minimum parcel size, history in agricultural use and other specifics established by the General Assembly in enabling legislation for land use. To ensure that the criteria are met, the Commissioner of Revenue is asking that certain supporting documents be supplied with each application. An aerial photograph of the property will be required as part of every application for land use. Time will be saved if applicants bring documents proving past agricultural use, such as Schedule F from federal income tax returns for the past five years or Schedule E in instances where land has been leased for agricultural purposes for the previous five years. Receipts from sale of livestock and agricultural products will also be beneficial in proving eligibility. Separate applications are required for each tract of land listed in the county land book; however, only one fee of $50 (plus 15 cents per acre) will be charged for any adjoining tracts. There will be an additional fee for a separate tract which does not adjoin other tracts belonging to the same owner. In case of leased property, an affidavit is required from the individual who leases the land. Affidavit forms are available from the Commissioner of Revenue. A copy of each application for land use must be filed in the clerk’s office. A filing fee of $1 will be charged. It is important that applications be accurate. If a misrepresentation of facts should occur, roll back taxes (the difference between fair market tax and use value tax) plus interest will immediately fall due. No refund of application fees will be made in case of a misrepresentation. Suit Appeals BZA Decision Local property owners are challenging in court the issuance of a special use permit and variance for a automotive shop and storage business in the old Sperryville cooperative building. In papers filed May 22. attorney George Davis asks the court to review the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals’ decision to grant the special use permit and variance to Carson Johnson, alleging that the BZA's action was “arbitrary r Annual \ Barbecue] For the twentieth year, members of the Amissville Ruritan Gub will sponsor their Fourth of July pitcooked beef barbecue this Saturday. The event will take place on the Amissville Fire Department grounds on Route 22 just west of Amissville from 3 to 9 p.m. The succulent beef is cooked over night in a deep pit covered with a layer of large gravel on which the fire is built. The meat is wrapped in foil and burlap and cooked in the coals. Served with the beef will be vegetables, bread, drink and salad. Dinners will be S6 for adults and S3.50 for children. and capricious, vague and ambiguous ... an illegal exercise in legislative authority.” In his request for a review by the court, Davis alleges that issuance of the variance and special use permit violated provisions of the zoning ordinance's flood plain district. As uses permitted in a flood plain, the ordinance lists agriculture and conservation, recreation, plant nurseries, forestry, fences, pipe lines and pumping stations. It goes on to state that “no permit shall be issued for any building, structure or sewage disposal system to be located on a flood plain...” According to the papers filed by Davis on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Schaefer, Mrs. Louise Varner and Mr. and Mrs. Curtis Dodson, the BZA’s decision also violates the ordinance's provision for non-conforming uses. Uses in existence prior to the ordinance’s adoption in 1973 were authorized to continue as non-conforming uses. The cooperative building that Johnson proposes to rebuild for an automotive body shop was destroyed by fire in 1968, however, and so wasn’t being legally utilized at the time of the zoning ordinance’s enactment. According to the papers filed by Davis, the burnedout building has never been replaced and was not given an appraised or assessed value in the county’s recently completed 100 percent fair market value assessment. Davis maintains that issuance of the variance and special use permit causes “substantial detriment” to adjacent properties while changing and severely damaging the character of both the floodplain and the adjacent residential business districts. The former commonwealth’s attorney who played an instrumental part in drafting the county’s ordinances maintains that members of the BZA individually and jointly acted in bad faith and therefore should be required to pay the costs of the court proceedings. In a response filed June 13, Carson Johnson denies all of Davis’ allegations and claims that the special use permit and variance were issued in accord with both local and state laws. Charlie Barrell, attorney for the BZA in the case, added a second denial in pleadings filed June 19 and noted that the BZA had interpreted the zoning ordinance as to not require a variance of floodplain provisions for the use proposed by Johnson. To date, a hearing of the case by Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson has not been set. * No Tests From Health Department Town Taps Run Dry For Second Time By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock New* Staff Writer Washington has a new well ready to gush ISO gallons per minute but taps went dry again last Friday as the town waited...and waited...and waited for results of health department tests on the new water source. At an emergency meeting Friday night, the town council approved hauling 10,000 gallons per day into Washington’s reservoir as long as the latest water emergency continues, according to waterworks supervisor Charlie Jenkins. Although hauling brings the per gallon cost up to two and a half cents, Jenkins said that council currently has no plans to increase water rates to recover the added expense. The irony of this most recent water crisis is that it comes four weeks after well driller Larry LeHew’s strike of a 150 gallon a minute gusher. In a steady S3 hours of pumping, the new well spewed more than 47 times the capacity of the tankers now hauling water to the town. Samples were sent immediately to the health department for testing, but to date results have not been returned. Without an okay from health officials, the town has delayed the start of work to connect the well to the reservoir, a project that will take approximately one week, according to Jenkins. “I don’t know what the hold-up is,” said Hugh Eggbom, regional supervisor for the health department’s Culpeper engineering division which oversees public water and sewer systems. He said the average time for the state lab in Richmond to finish the required tests was “two to three weeks or so,” particularly if the samples weren’t accompanied by a request for a rush job. Eggborn noted that the state lab generally checks out 100 or more samples daily, running a wide range of tests on each. Third Source To Go Dry While waiting for the wheels of the bureaucratic approval process to roll, the replacement well drilled last January went dry, Washington’s third water source to give out in the past year. Serious water problems began in June, 1980, when the town’s primary source, springs on Jenkins' Mountain, quit flowing. For seven months, water was pumped from the old 66-foot town well until that doo dried up in January. When attempts to get assistance from the health department on locating a new well site were unsuccessful, the town hired a water witch but the dowser’s magic wands wavered over a spot that yielded a disappointing four to six gallon per minute flow and that only after drilling to 410 feet. But the well was connected and water flowed again through town taps while (Continued on Page 5) Rabies Clinic This Tuesday The fourth incidence of rabies in the past two months has prompted the Rappahannock Health Department to schedule a mass immunization clinic for cats and dogs on July 7 at the new Washington fire station, located east of town. Warrenton veterinarian Dr. M. C. Rawnsley will immunize cats from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. and dogs from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. There will be a charge of $4 per animal and a certificate of rabies immunization will be issued. The recent discovery of a rabid skunk in northern Fauquier County brings the total to four animals known to be infected with rabies in the Warrenton area since early May. Although carnivorous animals infected with rabies may randomly bite other animals without provocation, health department officials are aware of no exposure from the skunk. The skunk was shot in a farm yard after it had chased a young dog. Warrenton veterinarians participated in special rabies immunization clinics June 18 and 19. At these mass immunization clinics 272 cats and 254 dogs were inoculated. The Rappahannock Health Department strongly recommends that all pet dogs and cats be protected against rabies. Dog warden Jack Bruce should be notified at 987-8256 if an animal is observed displaying unusual behavior. To attempt to render aid to a sick animal could be extremely dangerous. If in doubt, call a veterinarian if a pet is obviously ill or has difficulty swallowing. Canine rabies immunizations give three years protection against the disease. The feline vaccine administered to cats is good for only one year. There have been instances where a pet immunized against rabies has come down with the disease after being bitten by a rabid animal. A pet exposed to rabies should be reported to the health department even if the dog or cat has been immunized. Rabies booster shots can be given and generally, the pet must be quarantined. Humans exposed to rabies must undergo treatment which consists of a hyperimmune globulin injection followed by a series of five vaccinations at intervals of three days, one week, two weeks and 28 days. Without treatment, rabies is fatal. _ Washington Plans Fourth Activities •♦*♦*♦**♦* 5 Activities for the J traditional Fourth of July * Fair at Washington, Virginia, Jhave been expanded thU year.

After a full year’s operation with weekend movies, a classic film club, concerts, live plays and community programs. Mountain Magic shows a deficit of approximately $8,000, according to Allan. In a letter to patrons that goes out this week, he notes that admission fees went toward film rental and shipment, theater rental, heating oil, utilities and advertising but did not provide enough to pay someone to manage the operation and run the projectors, tasks that require an average of 20 hours per “I’ve paid myself in popcorn for the past year," Allan joked. “And I’ve been paid in the thanks and enthusiasm I’ve gotten from so many people in Rappahannock County for reopening and operating the theater,” he added in a more serious vein. The theater’s financial problems are not due to lack of community patronage. Heroes OnDisplay By LORRIE YOUNG Together with five-hundred other guests, I was fortunate in having been invited on Monday evening June 22, to attend the preview opening and reception for the show, Champions of American Sport, at The National Portrait Gallery in D. C. The National Portrait Gallery’s show is the first major exhibition devoted entirely to sports heroes. The correlation between sports and art seemed vague until I viewed the show and realized what many fans have known all along; sports are a» actform. The artists were also "champions” since they captured the intensity, grace and drama of sports, thus preserving magical moments for all to view. Through this exhibit, the National Portrait Gallery offers a deeper dimension of tribute: an exhibition devoted to the great sports personalities our country has produced. There in each small gallery, set apart by different sports, are the greats from long ago to the present. The exhibition brings together some of the most dramatic and exhilirating individuals our society has produced. This is not a history of dates but a celebration of lives and the ability athletes have to capture and control our interests. The reception was preceded by a dinner on the third floor of the Portrait Gallery where there were 400 in attendance. The invitation list included champions both of art and sports, their relatives, and people who organized the show. The more famous crowd pleasers proved to be Wilma Rudolph, Bob Cousy, Larry Mahan and Gordie Howe. All the athletes cooperated in having their pictures taken and seemed eager to sign autographs on whatever scrap of paper was available. There were also those who stayed to talk, such as Lou Marciano, boxer Rocky’s son, and there were those like Wilt Chamberlain who were quick to leave. The preview of the exhibit was supplemented not only by good company but also by good food served in the atrium of the gallery. The sports theme was carried over in the type of refreshments served; hot dogs, pretzels, popcorn, as well as dishes not associated with the sporting life; pate de foi gras, various cheeses, raw vegetables, crepes and omelets. The food was outdone only by the “black tie” attire with the men, women and children who- attended -the function dressed in every type of garb that one could vaguely regard as "formal”. Most of the participants were impressed with the exhibit and delighted by the opportunity to meet and associate with each and every sports personality. The event was enriching and enlightening not only because of the champions present in person but because of the sports heros captured on film. Champions of American Sport took three years to assemble and will be at the National Portrait Gallery until September 7. Bridge Group Mrs. Emory Russell entertained the Flint Hill Bridge Club at her home Monday evening when prize winners included Mary Curtis, Breezy Gannon, Aney Massie and Louise Eastham. Others playing were Lucy Wood. Edna Moore, Fisher Burford, Beverly Massie, Mary R.

Rather the deficit that makes it unrealistic to continue as a commercial venture is a function purely of demographics and economics, he said in his letter to Mountain Magic patrons. “Simply put, our population size and geographical spread aren’t adequate,” he explained, noting that the theater had been closed nearly IS years prior to its present revival. The alternatives now, as Allan sees them, are to go quietly out of business with a final word of flunks to the hundreds and hundreds of people who have patronized the theater, offered suggestions and volunteered labor, or to turn Mountain Magic into a non-profit community corporation, contributions to the operation of which would be tax deductible. Hedges First Step As a first step toward keeping the unique media arts center in operation, Allan is soliciting tax deductible pledges. If the amount pledged approaches or exceeds S8.000, he will immediately apply for tax exempt status, anticipated to be received in October, 1961. "The fact is, the theater can't stay alive without that $8,000,” Allan emphasized. Pledges in that amount will demonstrate significant community support, a criteria for qualifying for grants awarded in the performing arts field, Allan said. As a non-profit operation, he hopes that the theater will receive contributions from foundations and sources other than individuals to put it on firmer financial footing for the following year. Allan said he will work toward that end and also toward improving marketing for the theater so as to attract tourists to movie showings and other presentations. If the pledges reach $8,000 and the theater qualifies for tax exempt status, the next hurdle will be negotiating a satisfactory lease arrangement with Mountain Magic’s landlord, Douglas Baumgardner. "We don’t anticipate any problems there,” Allan said. “Doug Baumgardner has been a fine support system and more than cooperative in helping foe theater stay in operation for the last year.” Once the lease arrangement is worked out, the final step will be soliciting the pledged tax deductible contributions by ” mid-fall. Few Negatives In the letter to Mountain SS Administration Expenses Low Social security pays just 1.5 percent of all the social security taxes collected to administer the programs of retirement, survivors, and disability benefits, Bruce A. Hundley social security manager in Qilpeper, said recently. This information, pertaining to 1979, was contained in a report recently published by social security’s Office of the Actuary. The report also shows that administrative costs, which include salaries, rent for .property and equipment, t bullring operating expenses, and supplies, have been decreasing over the years both as a percentage of taxes collected and of benefits paid. Administrative expenses amounted to just 1.4 percent of benefits paid in 1979. In 1957, for example, administrative expenses amounted to 2.2 percent of taxes paid. This was the first year that disability benefits were paid. Administrative expenses have increased more slowly than either tax income or benefits paid in spite of the fact that die programs have grown greatly in size and complexity over the years, Hundley said. Of course, Hundley said, actual dollar expenditures have increased each year even though the ratios have decreased. The decreasing proportion of administrative expenses to income shows that administrative productivity has increased. This favorable trend is expected to continue into the future as the program matures Hundley said. The report shows that the services provided by social security to the public have been getting cheaper relative to the costs of other services, based on the consumer price index. Since 1960 this relative cost has decreased by about 10 percent. More information about social security benefits can be obtained at the Culpeper social security office, located at 522 Culpeper Shopping Center. The telephone number is 825-3500. Keep The Fun In Fireworks The Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), is encouraging consumers to determine which fireworks are permitted by their State and local governments prior to purchase. In Virginia, Class C fireworks as specified in law are allowable. Class C fireworks are small fireworks permitted for family use, and are not dangerous when used with common sense. Most injuries caused by such fireworks are the result of flagrant misuse, not malfunction of these legally permitted fireworks. The most serious injuries usually result from the illegal tvne. i.e.. the Class B ex plosives which an larger, such as cherry bombs and the M-8Q. The following are safety tips offered by VDACS: 1. Buy from a reliable fireworks stand, and always read directions and precautionary statements on the labd. 2, Have an adult present at all times. 1 Make sun the fuse is securely attached and not leaking powder. 4. Ignite outdoors only and keep a safe distance away. 5. Never ignite a firework in your hand and throw it Always light it an the ground. 6. Have water handy. 7. Never reignite a malfunctioning firework. VDACS recommends choosing safe fireworks, using them safely with adult supervision and keeping the fun in fireworks this Fourth of July.

Call Carol, Paula or Betty at 937-4070 Magic patrons, Allan assesses the theater’s negative aspects as (1) not having the dollarvolume clout to compete for first run movies, restricting programming to second run and classic films, (2) an old and somewhat run-down facility with primitive heating and cooling systems, (3) old equipment that sometimes breaks down and (4) lack of personnel so that movies often start slightly later than advertised. As the positive side of Mountain Magic’s operation, Allan notes that it offers the only source of movie entertainment for folks living toward the center of Rappahannock County and the most diverse source of quality or “art” film between Washington, D. C. and Charlottesville. The theater has been the organizing and staging focus for the Rappahannock Players and has run benefit or service programs for numerous community groups. With pledge requests mailed this week, Allan now plans to sit back and wait for the community to render a verdict. “At present, I have slated July IS as shutdown day. If enough pledges are received by that time, Mountain Magic will continue in a new, non-profit role, reopening on Labor Day weekend after a six-week summer break...Otherwise, as Bugs Bunny says in the cartoons, ‘That’s all folks!’ ” Shock Technicians Certified Rappahannock County has gained the volunteer services of six new Shock-Trauma Technicians.

Luke reported that no action was taken in the executive meeting on any of the vacancies, all effective by July 1. In other action, the supervisors approved interbudget transfers of school board funds, payment of $4,895 for a four-door Granada sedan with 26.000 miles from Hertz Rental Cars to serve as a police cruiser for Sheriff W. A. Buntin, payment for two file cabinets for the sheriffs department authorized by the State Compensation Board and payment of travel expenses for the Juvenile and Domestic Court Judge. Luke pointed out that cost of the sheriffs car is partially reimbursable while the county will be completely reimbursed for the file cabinets and J & D Judge’s travel expenses. In addition, in case of rain on July 4th, the supervisors okayed use of the courthouse for an historical pageant and country dance exhibition. tne nrst time in two years that travel had increased in two consecutive months. Despite an April travel increase of 2.2 percent, gasoline consumption in the state dropped to its lowest level since the 1974 oil embargo. The decline in gasoline consumption, and the resultant drop in fuel tax receipts, is cutting heavily into the highway budget, the department said. Passenger vehicle travel on the state’s interstate, arterial, and primary systems was up by 2.4 percent over May, 1980, with passenger cars registered in other states leading the way with a 5.8 percent increase. Travel by Virginia ' passenger vehicles' also was up, 2.3 percent, over May a year ago. Truck and bus travel showed an increase of 1.6 percent over the same month a year ago. The travel figures were compiled from counts taken at 253 locations on the state's major highways, according to A. L. Thomas Jr., the department’s traffic and safety engineer.

CULPEPER 825-4707 Drevas Takes Baskets To Lincoln Center Jeanne Drevas, Sperryville basket weaver and potter, can add another star to her list of artistic accomplishments. As well as exhibiting her fine baskets, Drevas has been asked to demonstrate the basketry techniques she uses to create her vine sculptures July 11 and 12 at the fifth Annual American Crafts Festival at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City. A potter for more than a decade, Drevas began to find work at the wheel repetitious and unchallenging and transferred her artistic talents to basket weaving a couple of years ago. Her skills were immediately acknowledged with an invitation in 1980 to exhibit at Baltimore’s Winter Mart, one of the east coast’s most prestigious craft shows. Last year, her baskets were photographed as art work for the posters advertising the Virginia Museum’s annual craft show in Richmond, where she was also an exhibitor. Jeanne’s baskets are based on the design of the traditional split oak melon basket made in the-* Appalachian Mountains of Virginia. Honeysuckle and grapevines that smother trees on the hillsides near Sperryville are used for the handles and rims. The shape of the vine dictates the shape of the basket and the search for the perfect vine gives Jeanne the perfect excuse for rambling through the woods that surround her mountain home and pottery studio. Once she’s collected the vines, she settles down for hours at a time, using her hands, her teeth, even her Shiloh Church Special Program The Culpeper Harmonettes and the Slaughter Family will celebrate 'their anniversaries on Sunday, July 5, at the Shiloh Baptist Church in WoodviMe beginning at 2:30 • p.m. The Harmonettes are celebrating five years and the Slaughters two years of performances.

While the vines are still green and pliable, she molds them into shape, following the natural flow and curve of the wood. “Having been a potter for ten years. I’m bound and determined to make each basket unique. Our native vines are my starting point for each basket, their shape shapes me and shapes my basket. I love the simplicity of the work, the building process,” Drevas explained. At Lincoln Center, Jeanne will be part of 500 displays, including demonstrations in sheep shearing, spinning, weaving, quilting, broom and candle making, architectural stone cutting from the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, puppet shows, mimes, minstrels and magicians.

OFFICE: Rappahannock News Bldg , Washington, Va 22747 HOURS: 8:30 a m. to 5 30 p m., Mon.-Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc. Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, JULY 2,1981 Democracy’s On this Fourth of July, we ask Rappahannock’s citizens to reflect on the public educational system that is the cornerstone of this nation. A democracy depends on an educated electorate. For more than 200 years, our leaders have recognized the importance of education to America’s strength and freedom. “Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness,” George Washington told Congress in 1790. “To the security of a free Constitution it contributes in various ways: by convincing those who are intrusted with the public administration that every valuable end of government is best answered by the enlightened confidence of the people, and by teaching the people themselves to know and value their own rights. ” But even before President Washington addressed himself on “teaching the people,” and even before the Constitution was adopted in 1789, the generation of 1776 had committed federal government support for public schools. In the ordinance of 1785 the Continental Congress decreed that a lot be reserved in every township “for the maintenance of public schools” and, in the ordinance of 1787 that established the Northwest Territory, Congress reinforced that concept. Down through the years Presidents have often initiated education programs, using the prestige of their office in the effort. In private correspondence, public addresses and messages to Congress, the record is filled with Presidential interest in the advancement of public education. Many remember Thomas Jefferson’s famous statement,, “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state oi civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” He also wrote a friend, “I am now entirely absorbed in endeavors to effect the establishment of a general system of education in my native state..." Jefferson went on to cite the need for “elementary schools which shall give to Cornerstone the children of every citizen, gratis, competent instruction’’ Abraham Lincoln, in an 1832 address to his home county folk in Illinois, made a similar point. President Lincoln said, “For my part, I desire to see the time when education—and by its means morality, sobriety, enterprise and industry—shall become much more general than at present.” Education is, he told his listeners, “the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in. ” Theodore Roosevelt, in a 1905 address to the National Education Association, declared: “The children, wherever they have been bom, wherever their parents have been bom, who are educated in our schools side by side with another, will inevitably grow up having that sense of mutual sympathy and mutual respect and understanding which is absolutely indispensable for working out the problems that we as citizens have before us.” Teddy Roosevelt’s contemporary, Woodrow Wilson, couldn’t agree more. "Without popular education,” Wilson once wrote, “no government which rests upon popular action can long endure.” Added Franklin Roosevelt in a 1935 message to teachers published in the NEA Journal: “It is your duty, no less than mine, to look beyond the narrow confines of the schoolroom; to see that education provides strength, and security for those institutions we have treasured since we first established ourselves as a nation and shall continue everlastingly to cherish.” The commitment to providing the kind of quality education our children and oumObntry need must begin now. With the present state of the economy forcing cutbacks at all levels of government, we have to establish priorities. Public education should be at the top of the list. It’s up to the citizens of Rappahannock County to carry that message to the school board and to the board of supervisors. Independence 1776-1781 In the thirteen Colonies 200 years ago, not everyone was sold on the idea of separation from the Crown of England. The people were uncertain, there was sharp division and the leaders were not sure of the kind of government the Colonies would uphold. July 4, 1776 the Continental Congress adopted the Thomas Jefferson draft of the Declaration of Independence which was signed immediately by John Hancock, president of the Congress. Others signed on August 2 and later. Many leaders risked their fortunes and lives to lead the Colonies in the uprising against the Mother Country. The risk was heightened by the lack of arms, organization and allies, plus the uncertainty that the people would oppose the King for independence. For five years the fiber of every supporter was tested to the utmost. Farmers sacrificed their food, animals and wagons, as well as their sons. The shopkeeper shared his possessions and blacksmiths and wheelwrights were pressed into service, while the Congress devised ways to finance the war. There were times when most would have called the war lost, but these intreped, hardy men saw no alternative but to continue at all costs. In the summer of 1781, things seemed brighter: Gen. Washington was building an army in the south and was calling on the Congress to send troops from northern areas, along with equipment. On July 2 that year Congress made a resolution “That a committee of three be appointed to take proper measures for a public celebration of the anniversary of Independence on Wednesday next.” Mr. Clymer, Mr. Carroll and Mr. Walton were members appointed, followed by another resolution “that the Board of War take order for the furnishing of the table of the Commander in Chief.” At least Gen. Washington was to have a good feast. So it was through July, August and September Congress was busy operating the headquarters of a great army, leading up to a showdown with Cornwallis in Virginia and the British Navy in the Bay of Chesapeake. It was obvious from the proceedings of Congress that the leaders had learned in five years of war how to get their act together. Numerous committees were appointed to attend the logistics of acquiring cattle, horses, wagons, gun powder, clothing, food and weapons to supply a great army. Transportation problems were acute and had to be handled by secret committees. The water lanes were controlled by the British Navy; over land was slow and hazardous with breakdowns and impassable roads in wet weather. But the planners utilized the dry summer to move animals and supplies to Virginia from the north. By this time the United States had a great French ally in Court de Rochambeau and the French Navy commanded by Count deGraffe. Rochambeau, with Gen. Washington, accepted the surrender of Earl Cornwallis at Yorktown and deGraffe commanding the French Navy in the Chesapeake, should forever share in the honors of bringing independence to these United States. Without their help in the early fall of 781, the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 may never have been more than a glorious dream, unfulfilled. Communications in that era was a problem and it was not until the 24th of October that Gen. Washington’s letter describing the surrender of Cornwallis and the Articles of Capitulation reached the Congress and read to the entire body. Thereupon a motion was made by Mr. Randolph, “Resolved—that Congress will, at two o’clock this day, go in procession to the Dutch Lutheran,, Church, and return thanks to Almighty God for crowning the allied armies of the United States and France with success, by the surrender of the whole British Army under the command of the Earl Cornwallis,” So, in a sense, this Fourth of July 1981, we can in anticipation of the victory at Yorktown on October 18, 1781, truly celebrate - the 200th anniversary of the establishment of Independence in America.

Barbaric To the Editor: From occasional news items it seems only reasonable to suppose that Rappahannock has its own residue of the barbaric hidden within the recesses of the county and not only among the less privileged. But by and large the county seems to have done a good job, at some material cost to itself, of resisting the invasion of modern barbarism. So that I was very much dismayed to read among last week’s Letters to the Editor one from Diana W. Bird advocating abortion. Of all the crimes against humanity, the attempted legitimization of which is at present so disastrously unraveling the social fabric, abortion would seem to just about top the list as the most heinous. ARMISTEAD R. CARMACK Washington percent passed the reading portion of the test and 97.6 percent passed the math; in Madison, 90.9 percent passed the reading and 93.S percent passed math; in Fauquier, 94.4 percent passed reading and 98.3 percent passed math and in Culpeper, 90.9 percent passed reading and 96.3 percent passed math. Of nearby school divisions, only Orange County’s tenth graders scored higher than Rappahannock’s with 98 percent passing the reading portion of the graduation competency tests and 100 percent passing the math portion. When the competency tests were administered first to will begin promptly at 1:30 p.m. on the lot between the Rappahannock National Bank and Mountain Magic Theater in Washington, Virginia. The auction will last approximately two hours. Many fine articles, as well as services, will be auctioned at the call of John Walker Jenkins, who has volunteered his talents for the events. The proceeds of the auction will benefit the non-profit organization’s playground equipment and building fund. Individuals of businesses wishing to donate goods or services to the event should call Pali Delevitt, auction coordinator, at 675-3412 between 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. State Police Participate In C.A.R.E. * The availability of gasoline, warm weather and the fact that many workers will be off Friday, July 3 will undoubtedly boost vehicle travel on Virginia’s highways during the July 4th weekend. The Virginia State Police, in an effort to keep traffic crashes, injuries and deaths at a minimum, will again participate in a Combined Accident Reduction Effort (C.A.R.E.) with other states across the nation. Begun in 1978, the special program involves increasing the number of troopers patrolling selected sections of the State’s most heavily-traveled roads. "There is no scientific method of knowing how many accidents do not happen because of the increased visibility of troopers on major holiday weekends,” says Colonel D. M. Slane, Department Superintendent. “But we do know that in more than 40 percent of all fatal crashes, speed—either excessive or too fast for conditions—is a contributing factor. We also know that the observance of troopers patrolling the highways encourages motorists to drive at safe speeds.” Speed of course, is not the only factor in vehicle crashes. Drinking drivers are involved in 33 percent of all fatal crashes, and 89 percent of all crashes involve some type of violation. Colonel Slane noted that Operation C.A.R.E. is not just an enforcement program requiring State Police participation. It is also an information program in which newspaper, radio and television representatives contribute by continually reminding motorists to drive safely and defensively. Trout Stocking In early July, the following area streams will be stocked for trout by the Virginia / Game Commission’s fish division: Hughes River in Madison County and Big Stoney Creek in Shenandoah County. tenth graders in the fall of 1978 and to ninth graders in the spring of 1979, statewide 82 and 85 percent, respectively, passed both tests. Since 1978, there has been a sharp drop in the percentage of students who failed both tests or passed only one, according to information from the state Department of Education. State superintendent of public instruction Dr. S. John Davis finds the higher passing rate this spring encouraging but emphasized that it must be viewed in light of differences in schooling and ability among groups taking the tests on the three occasions. The fall 1978 data, for example, include tests results for handicapped students. State Department of Education personnel attribute higher passing rates in March to three major factors: in general, teachers are directing instruction more specifically to skills measured by the tesJ , school personnel are more adept at spotting students in danger of failing and are providing special instruction to them; and students are realizing the importance of the tests and are preparing for them more seriously. Department personnel stress that competency tests are designed to measure only practical skills in reading and mathematics. Improved success rates offer no evidence of improvement in general academic achievement. The Little Fox

At Phipps Field i Middleburfir Defeats Ratroahannock Sunday afternoon’s littlepublicized polo match proved to be most entertaining as the home Middleburg quartet staged a late comeback to defeat Rappahannock 4-3. The contest got off to a delayed start when one of the players failed to appear, forcing umpire John Gulick to take his place and Sherry Hamill to step in as offtciator. Play in the first chukker was very even, flowing up and down the field. No one had a chance to score, leaving two zeros on the board as the match was played "on the flat” (without counting handicaps). Rappahannock’s teamwork came to the fore in the second period with Bill Fannon’s 3-goal Argentinian pro Marcos Bignoli breaking loose with his long flying shots, thanks to the defensive efforts on the part of his teammates. A shot on goal hit the back of a horse to land in front of the goal mouth. Bignoli followed through and tapped it in for the day’s first point. The sole tally of the third chukker was also Rappahannock’s as Bignoli set up young Chet Fannon beautifully and Fannon came through to leave it 2-0 at the half.

Spencer Wood, playing position No. 1 for Middleburg, stands ready to assist. The home squad made a determined effort after the break, with George Greenhalgh backhanding one in with less than thirty seconds gone. Middleburg managed to hold off the Blue attack and at the end of the chukker, Rob Rinehart got away and tied it up with a classic straight on shot. Speed increased and so did fouls in the sloppy fifth period which nevertheless featured the most scoring of the match.

Washington Has Water Woes Again (Continued from Page 1) Washington’s council worked on a permanent solution to its water woes. A state geologist pinpointed the best possible water location within a mile of town after a thorough study of aerial photographs. His methods proved more effective than the dowser’s, hitting approximately ten times the flow that Washington Mayor Newbill Miller had hoped for. But the collective sigh of relief breathed by Washingtonians at the news proved premature, as empty faucets demonstrated last Friday. Charlie Jenkins reported that the town has ordered a pump for the well in anticipation of eventual health department approval. Becky Tolliver, health dep4rtment district engineer for i the RappahannockRapidan Planning District, reported on Tuesday that final approval of the water samples from the new town well was received from Richmond that morning. She had no explanation of why it took four weeks to have the chemical checks completed Tolliver noted, however, that even if health department approval had been received earlier, the well could not have been connected to the town’s water system because the new pump has not yet arrived. According to Mayor Newbill Miller, the pump is in Charlottesville and will be brought to Washington on Wednesday.

A temporary chlorinator will be put in the line at the well house to allow water to be pumped directly from the well into the town system. If the pump arrives with all its necessary parts and if the wall of the well house and electrical work is finished on schedule, water from the new well should start flowing from faucets by Thursday, according to Miller. "But if just one piece of the pump is missing, it will take us another two days to get a replacement part,” the mayor cautioned. In the meantime, water will continue to be delivered i to the reservoir by tanker. Since a warning to con- I serve water was printed in the Rappahannock News two weeks ago, low flow from the | old well coupled with heightened demand made it necessary to pump directly from the well to the town, bypassing the reservoir, Miller said. With this arrangement, it was impossible to keep tabs on how much water was available or to notify town residents that the supply was close to exhausted on Friday, he explained. According to Miller, water works supervisor Charlie Jenkins checked the pump every morning and evening. “It was doing fairly well on Friday morning and then he called me at noon to say we were out of water,” Miller said. Sometime during that interval, the well went dry after the 5,000 to 6,000 gallon reserve was depleted, he said. “How can you give people any warning when you can’t see into the ground?” Miller asked. r-AmeriGas-i I SMENGAS DIVISION 327 No Royal Ave Front Royal Va 635-3556 L P Gas distributor serving a lour county area Propane gas lor lull bouse use hearing water heating and cooking Hardwick Ranges Ruud Water Heaters Space Heaters TF Polo Pro Comes To Castleton • uflrnnt tUJ I UHIINSOlN Rappahannock Ncw» Suff Writer Marcos Bignoli is a man chasing a dream and that dream is the ten goal handicap of a trop rated professional polo player.

Instead, if it makes the list of favorite sports at all, it falls at the bottom behind the traditional front runners of baseball, football, basketball, golf, track, tennis and horseracing and the alsorans of dog racing, rugby, soccer, boating, bowling, steeplechasing, auto racing, volley ball and hockey. But judging by the recent surge in the number of clubs across the country, polo is undergoing a transformation from rich man’s hobby to full-fledged spectator sport. “They’ve just opened a polo school near Middleburg. People don’t even know how to ride and they want to learn polo,” Marcos said, shaking his head and smiling. Not that Marcos is surprised at the interest in his favorite sport. Polo has been an obsession with the shy Argentinian since he was a kid. Marcos started playing on his father’s cattle ranch in Argentina when he was just nine years old. “We’d use anything for a bridle, anything for a saddle. It was ranch polo,” he explained. In Argentina, ranch polo attracts youngsters the way a D. C. school basketball court draws would-be NBA stars during summer vacation. While polo in Argentina ' doesn’t have soccer’s crowds of spectators, it’s as popular as baseball is here, according to Marcos. The country has over 150 professional clubs and of the top ranked ten goal handicapped players, tops in the field, all six hail from Argentina. By comparison, the best the U. S. has are three nine goal h*ndtc«»playaa,.>r._. , To England For Polo “Thanks to my dad, I’m playing polo,’’ Marcos acknowledged. With his father’s blessing and financial support, he left home at 16 for a job in England as a groom. With the skills he picked up on the ranch, Marcos quickly swapped curry combs and brushes for a mallet and a seat in the saddle. He was invited to join a British polo team and played there for four seasons, his introduction into professional ranks. From England, he traveled across the Atlantic to Palm Beach, Florida, the American capital of the sport. There he met Bill Fannon through a friend who’d played with the Rappahannock polo enthusiast. Marcos moved on to polo fields in Houston, Texas, where Fannon contacted him with a job offer. ‘‘To improve my polo, I needed to play more. Mr. Fannon gave me a very good chance to do that and also an opportunity to make green horses,” Marcos said. With his wife Diane, another polo fan who met Marcos last year when she was helping train and exercise polo ponies, and their two Australian sheep dogs, he moved to Castleton last month. Rigorous Workouts His days start and end with polo. By 5:30, the two are at Fannon’s barn, ready for the morning training sessions. After a time out for rest during the heat of summer afternoons, they’re back in the saddle until evening. Fannon and Marcos flew to Montana recently where they traveled from ranch to ranch, checking out cow ponies as polo prospects. They came back with nine, all quarter horses experienced at cutting heifers from a herd who had never seen a polo mallet in their lives. "But they’d been used for roping for about three years so they were accustomed to having things swing around their heads,” Marcos noted. (Continued on Page 8) Rappahannock News Photo/Daphne Hutchinson MARCOS BIGNOLI left his native Argentina at 16 to pursue a polo career. After five years of professional play, he s earned a three goal handicap. His mount is one of nine ex-cow horses from Montana ranches that he s turning into “made” ponies for Bill Fannon s Rappahannock polo team.

Each horse must be exercised daily in a rigorous training program that keeps them fit for the demands of polo. "They have to be able to go from full 'speed to a dead stop in two yards, turn around and go back full speed the other way,” Marco explained. The ponies must be able to maintain this frantic pace as they carry their mallet swinging riders after a white ball from one end to the other of a 900 foot field for 45 minutes of play. “It takes a lot of training. They have to be very, very fit,” the Argentinian emphasized over and over again. Every Day Sessions Reaching physical perfection is easier with a "made” horse. These experienced mounts can be taken out on leads, one, two or three tied halter to halter on each side of another pony and rider. But Fannon’s former cattle horses are not experienced mounts. “The horses in training have to be ridden and schooled every day. You can’t lead a green pony,” Marcos explained. In addition to Fannon’s horses, Marcos has two of his own, also novices at the sport, that require daily attention. His are thoroughbreds picked up off the track, the Argentinian’s personal preference as polo mounts. “Quarter horses are stronger and easier to train but they never have the speed of a thoroughbred,” he explained. "Thoroughbreds need more feed. They break down easier. They’re high strung, harder to work with. With a thoroughbred, you’ve got a good horse forever but until he says ‘yes, I’m playing polo,’ it’s a lot of work.” According to Marcos, it takes two years to make a good polo pony with horses starting generally when On Dean’s List At Va.

In a dead run down a polo field, horse and rider frequently reach speeds of 45 to 50 miles per hour, making the inevitable collisions with opposing players fraught with danger. Marcos reported that the Guinness Book of World Records puts polo at the top of the list of dangerous sports, racking up more injuries than either rugby or auto racing. “I have seven broken bones from playing polo and I’m only 22 years old,” he added. “I saw a friend die on the polo field. I was pretty scared for the next two games but then I began to forget You never think that it will happen to you and so you don’t stay afraid.” Marcos will continue training and playing for Fannon during the summer polo season here and then the two plan to travel to Florida where the Rappahannock team will compete in handicap tournaments, the category of play determined by the combined handicap of all four team members. Players start with a minus one rating, Marcos reported. Bill Fannon and his son Chet have both advanced to zero and will probably be awarded one goal handicaps by this winter while the Argentinian expects to move up to a four goal ranking. In tournament play, teams compete in low goal (five to 12 total handicap), medium goal (12-18) and high goal (18-26) categories. After Florida, Marcos isn’t sure where his pursuit of a polo career will take him. “There’s really good polo in the states. I want to keep on playing polo for sure but I don’t know where. Once you get the bug in you, you don’t quit playing.” IF YOU'RE AGE 46 to 87 - WE CAN’T SAY ‘NO’ LIFE INSURANCE TO HELP PAY • OTHER AMOUNTS AVAILABLE DEPENDING ON AGE and se.« LIFE OF AMERICA INSURANCE CORP. of BOSTON 40 Broad St..

According to the Virginia Optometric Association, Medicare as of July 1 pays for most of the professional services provided by a doctor of optometry, following cataract surgery. Such services, primarily eye examination procedures, were not reimbursable in the past. In addition. Medicare will continue to pay for the cost of eyeglasses or contact lenses prescribed following cataract surgery. Dr. Ernest Schlabach, president of the Virginia Optometric Association, said the new’ Medicare coverage “enables persons who have had cataract surgery to continue to receive eye care from their regular optometrist and be reimbursed by Medicare.” He added that persons who have had cataract surgery or plan to have it should talk to their optometrist or contact the Association for specific details on Medicare coverage.

Outdoor bread baking will be part of the day s activities at the park’s fourth annual “19th Century Folk Days,” Sunda, July 5. Things To Do In July The earth passes aphelion July 3. At this distance from the sun—94,479.300 miles—it receives seven percent less light than in January. In the east is the summer triangle, the three bright stars Vega, Deneb and Altair. Look for fulling stars the nights of July 29 and 30. No interference from the moon this time. The partial lunar eclipse begins at 9:05 p.m. on July 16 and ends at 2:28 a.m. on July 17. —The Farmer's Almanac Continue to plant warm season vegetable crops such as beans, corn—early maturing varieties, late tomatoes, etc. Begin seeding fall crops such as broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, etc. for transplanting later. Harvest vegetables as they mature. Over mature vegetables lose quality and plants produce less. Start the compost pile with vegetable residue and grass clippings. Control diseases, insects and weeds. Remember, some insects in small numbers can be controlled by knocking them into a can of kerosene, others need chemical control. Raise the lawn mower about an inch for hot summer months. The lawn will not need mowing as often in hot weather, however keep the mower blades sharp and balanced. Clip faded blossoms from annual flowers to keep them blooming. Soak lawns and vegetable gardens with about an inch of water per week. Irrigate early in the day so the plant foliage can dry before night, this helps to prevent plant diseases. —W. C.

Summer Horse Sale Held The summer version of the semi-annual Interstate Horse Sale was held Saturday night at the Marshall Livestock Exchange. More than 75 horses and ponies were preentered. Prices were lower than expected, especially considering the quality of horses present. It appeared the demand was not there for the horses consigned. There were a lot of wellrounded young hunter-types, both thoroughbred and thoroughbred crosses. The good-sized audience consisted mainly of those with Western inclinations as evidenced by their dress and by the fact that the highest price—reportedly close to $1,800—went for an Appaloosa. The majority of horses went for three figures. As usual, a number of dealers were present but not as many as have appeared at previous sales. In general, the bidding was carried on by a certain few who quickly became familiar to onlookers and auctioneer alike.

Salesman 987-8171 703-987-8588 Defensive Driving Urged for Safe 4th During the July Fourth weekend, defensive driving by all Virginians could .help make for the safest holiday on record, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation Safety. Last year the three-day July Fourth weekend claimed the lives of 15 motorists, the second highest 1980 holiday driver fatality count. That’s seven more deaths on state highways than during the same 1979 period. Statistics show that the three-month summer period accounts for at least 40 percent of all highway mishaps. “More than 80 percent of all highway crashes involve humgn error. Therefore, most of last year’s accidents could have been prevented by improved driver knowledge and skill.” said VDTS director John Hanna. -j, During the holiday period ++++ REGARDLESS of the motives, it is every man’s duty to put his own and his family’s security first. He should not be condemned for using every legitimate means to accomplish that end. But, after we pass the point of taking care of ourselves now and of providing for our old age, the making of money for itself is worthwhile only to the extent that its owner can use it in industry to serve others. —William Ross many Virginians may travel long distances on turnpikes, expressways or interstate highways, requiring different driving techniques than on regular roads. VDTS recommends following these expressway driving hints: —Keep a full gas tank and check tires. Before starting study a map and locate the correct exits. —Properly securing all passengers in appropriate safety belts and child restraints is a major step in effective protection against possible injury or death. —When entering an expressway accelerate quickly to blend into existing traffic speed. —Never slow down quickly on the highway. Keep up with the traffic flow and be sure to stay within the SS mph speed limit. —Never stop or back up if an exit is missed. Go on to the next. In' emergencies drive as far onto the right highway shoulder as possible. —When leaving the expressway be sure to slow down in the deceleration lane to the posted ramp speed. “Nationally last year, highway accidents accounted for more than 53,000 deaths, nearly two million disabling injuries and S40 billion in property damage. That's not mentioning the individual medical and psychological costs," Hanna said.
