Planning Commission Proposes Sperryville Flood Plain Map By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Ka|i|whanniH*k >«■»• Staff * rilrr Residents of Sperryville may learn soon where the Thornton River’s flood plain begins and ends in their village. At last Wednesday’s meeting, the Rappahannock planning commissioners voted unanimously to recommend to the supervisors that the county engineer officially delineate Sperryville’s flood plain on the county zoning maps. The suggestion came on the heels of the second report in ope week of difficulties with getting local authorities to take a stand on the location of flood plain. “Mr. Smith can’t put in a septic field until someone tells him exactly where the flood plain is,” Sperryville attorney Bill Fletcher told the commission at last week's meeting. According to Fletcher, his clients, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur I. 'Smith, own the old Farmers Co-op in Sperryville and plan either to add bathrooms and rent the building as residential apartments or renovate it as a retail outlet. In order to add bathrooms, a septic field must be installed. Location of the flood plain becomes critical because the Rappahannock zoning ordinance specifies that septic fields must be at least 50 feet from the boundary of a flood plain. In the flood plain itself, septic fields are prohibited. Maps showing the boundaries of Sperryville's flood plain are vague, Fletcher maintained. His client's property is 200-300 feet from the Thornton River, the attorney said, and as he reads the maps, the lot can accommodate a septic field that meets the 50 foot distance criteria. But his opinion alone isn’t enough, Fletcher said. He reported that he has asked local sanitarian Jack Lockhart and the soil conservation office on at least five separate occasions to delineate the flood plain—without success. In addition, said Fletcher, he requested the zoning administrator to determine where the flood plain lies on his client’s property. “1 can’t get anything done so I’m asking the planning commission for help.’’ “This is a bad situation,” commissioner Charles Estes replied. "No one wants to put the flood plain line in for Sperryville.” Noting that other property owners have faced this same difficulty, Estes suggested that the planners recommend having the county engineer take on the job. (Just two days before the planning commission’s meeting, Edward Woodward appealed to the Water and Sewer Authority for help in getting the local health department to run a percolation test on his property to determine if it could support a septic system. Woodward said he’d been frustrated in his efforts to get a perc test done because no one in authority would delineate the flood plain.) ‘‘This is not just Mr. Fletcher’s problem or Mr. Woodward’s problem—it’s a problem for all of Sperryville," Estes said, noting that the same question will arise when the Water and Sewer Authority starts laying lines for a sewage treatment system in the village. In unanimous agreement, the commissioners voted to recommend that the supervisors have the flood plain lines drawn once and for all on the zoning maps. Improper Procedure In another unanimous decision, the commission endorse J. J. Dwyer’s application for an agricultural and forestal district. The application includes tag-on properties owned by Patricia Saltonstall, Phil Irwin and Linda Died and covers a total of 1,736 acres. The commission’s action in recommending approval of the application doesn’t comply with provisions of the (Continued on Page 4) Miller Resigns From School Board Newbill Miller, Hampton District representative on the county school board and planning commission, announced his resignation Tuesday from the school board. “The recent Attorney General’s opinion discussed in the October 22 issue of the Board Member’s Term Expires The term of board of zoning appeals member James Massie expired October 7 and the Jackson District representative has announced that he will not accept reappointment, according to clerk of the court Diane Bruce. Bruce, who also serves as clerk to the board of supervisors, reported that the vacancy has been placed on the agenda for the supervisors’ November 2 meeting. While the supervisors recommend persons for the board of zoning appeals, actual appointment to the quasi-judicial body is made by Circuit Court Judge Shore Robertson. Robertson has tentatively set Monday, November 9, for receiving public input on the BZA appointment. The time during which Robertson will be available to meet with interested citizens will be announced next week. Rappahannock News requires that I resign from the Rappahannock County School Board or Planning Commission. This has been a very difficult decision. My parents instilled in me a very deep seated conviction that individuals have a moral commitment to help their community. This help should not be self-serving, but should be based on. the principles of integrity, credibility, and fairness. Some people today may not understand this motivation, but these were the convictions of the overwhelming majority in the Rappahannock of my youth. “My decision has not been based on which job 1 think the most important, but in which job can I make the best contribution to Rap pahannock. My experience and knowledge in the field of planning is overwhelming compared to my knowledge and experience in school board duties. "The above reasons require that I resign with regret from the Rappahannock County School Board.” Miller’s seat on the school board will be filled by appointment by the county board of supervisors which meets next Monday, November 2. Under the procedure generally followed with school board vacancies, the supervisor from the district in which the opening occurs—in this case, Clarence Baldwin—will nominate an individual who is voted on by the entire board. News Poll Shows Coleman Ahead In Governor’s Race With elections just a week away, Republican gubernatorial candidate Marshall Coleman has turned the tables on his Democratic opponent Chuck Robb in Rappahannock County, according to the results of a pre-election telephone survey conducted Monday evening. A Rappahannock News poll of four percent of the county’s registered voters ;!Shows Coleman in front with support from 48 percent of those surveyed compared to 38 percent for Robb and 14 percent undecided. Coleman’s lead is a reversal of the outcome of an earlier poll taken October 5 which found Robb ahead with 48 percent and Coleman trailing with 35 percent. In the other two statewide races, Republicans Nathan Miller and Wyatt Durrette have maintained their leads here in the contests for lieutenant . governor and attorney general. Republican candidate for delegate Raymond R. “Andy” Guest has widened an already comfortable margin over Democratic challenger Dick Catron, according to this week’s News poll. On October 5, Guest outpolled Catron, 53 percent to 21 percent with 26 percent undecided. Voters surveyed Monday night preferred Guest by a margin of 65 percent to 20 percent with 15 percent still undecided. (See complete results on Page .) Democrats made their best showing in the Chester GapHuntly area, traditionally a Democratic stronghold. Voters in the AmissvilleCastleton area had the highest percentage of fencesitters yet to make up their minds with the elections just seven days away. The undecideds outpolled both candidates in two races—governor and attorney general—and edged out one of the candidates in the other two contests. At the opposite end of the spectrum, not a single one of the registered voters surveyed in the Woodville-Sperryville area was undecided by Monday night. Judging by the poll results, they’re party minded in that southwestern portion of the county; everyone surveyed voted a straight ticket with the split in each race 80 percent Republican and 20 percent Democratic. The combined results of polls taken by Arundel newspapers in Loudoun, Fauquier, Clarke and Rappahannock counties and the Reston-Herndon area show Robb, Miller and Durrette ahead. In Clarke County, which Guest has represented for ten years in the General Assembly, he leads Catron, 47, to 18 percent, with 35 percent of the voters surveyed still undecided. In Rappahannock, the News poll was conducted by high school students except in the Washington-Flint Hill area which was surveyed by Rappahannock News staff. Numbers are selected at random from the telephone directory. Only responses from registered voters who said that they planned to vote in the November 3 elections were tabulated. Election Day Closings For election day, Tuesday, November 3, all county and state offices will be closed. In addition, the Rappahannock National Bank in Washington will be closed. Post offices, Farmers and Merchants Bank in Flint Hill, most county businesses ' and the Rappahannock News will observe normal hours of operation. Rappahannock Polls Open At 6 A.M. On election day, Tuesday, November 3, polls in Rappahannock will open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Voters may cast ballots at polling places in each of the county’s five magisterial districts: Jackson—Amissville fire house on Route 211. Piedmont—Sperryville fire house on Route 211. Hampton—County court house in the town of ^Washington. S tone walf-Haw thorne —Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church on Route 522 at Scrabble. Wakefield—Fire hall in Chester Gap and Flint Hill fire hall on Fodderstack Road. On the ballot in statewide races will be Democrat Charles Robb and Republican Marshall Coleman for governor; Democrat Richard Davis and Republican Nathan Miller for lieutenant, governor; Democrat Jerry Baliles and Republican Wyatt Durrette for attorney general. In the local contest for delegate to the Virginia General Assembly from the 18th legislative district, voters will choose between Democrat Richard Catron and Republican Raymond R. “Andy” Guest. In addition to the statewide races and the contest for delegates, on the ballot in Rappahannock will be nominees for county soil and water conservation directors. The ballot lists two names, Herbert S. Barksdale and W. Clifford Latham, and voters can pick two of those listed. In Piedmont District, ballots will include a box for member of the board of supervisors from that district to fill the unexpired term of E. P. Luke. Charles K. Estes was appointed by the board to fill the vacancy until the November 3 election and is the only declared candidate for that position. — Kappahannnrk N«n*Pho(o/S.

More F unds May Be Available For Sewer Project Virginia Community and Economic Development Block Grants may prove to be an additional source of funds for the long delayed Sperryville sewer project. According to John Capelle, eiecutive director of the Rappahannock-Rapid an Planning District Commission. Sperryville may be able to qualify for as much as $750,000. In addition, Capelle said, the block grant money can be used as the local share of $1.4 million in matching funds tentatively scheduled to be allotted to the sewer project for construction in fiscal year 1983. The $1.4 million construction grant is to come from the Environmental Protection Agency through BZA Suit To Continue By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON VtapiMtumnork Nr*» Staff % rilrr A one-acre lot variance granted by the Rappahannock Board of Zoning Appeals will be reviewed by Judge Shore Robertson. In circuit court last Thursday, Judge Robertson held that petitioners Werner Krebser and Lee Bird have standing as county taxpayers to request a review of the BZA’s action in granting a variance and special use permit to Mr. and Mrs. Luther Atkins of Flint Hill. The Atkins are seeking to build a second dwelling on a two-acre lot zoned agricultural and to subdivide that two-acre lot into two one-acre lots. A petition filed October 9 on behalf of Krebser and Bird by Washington attorney David Konick alleges that the BZA violated county and state ordinances in granting the variance and special use permit on the basis of hardship and without making required findings of fact. In response, commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner, acting as counsel to the BZA, asked Judge Robertson to dismiss the request for review on the grounds that Krebser and Bird did not have standing to bring the suit and that they failed to cite in their petition the grounds under which they were "aggrieved” by the variance approval. “Every citizen of this county is aggrieved when an illegal decision is made by an arm of county government,” Konick maintained on Thursday. "Justice would be served by letting this decision be reviewed," he argued, adding that if the BZA’s action was erroneous, it should be reversed and if the board acted properly, no harm could come from having the court review the issuance of the variance. After ruling that Krebser and Bird have standing to bring the suit. Judge Robertson held that the petition itself was also sufficient. Although it doesn’t specify the grounds under which the petitioners are aggrieved, it clearly sets out the BZA's action and alleges violations of county and state law, according to Judge Robertson. Fun Fair A Fun Fair is scheduled for Halloween, Saturday at the Rappahannock Elementary School from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Featured will be games, food, cake walks, haunted house and bake sale. This is an excellent season to visit the Ghost Town which will be highlighted. Admission is 25 cents and there will be many articles for sale. Proceeds go toward the trip for seventh graders to Williamsburg and Jamestown. the State Water Control Board. Capelle told the Planning District Commissioners last Thursday that he’s currently contacting local jurisdictions to explain the availability of funds through Virginia Community and Economic Development Block Grants. The program was instituted by the Reagan administration to replace federal funding previously channeled to localities through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Sperryville’s sewer project had been awarded $193,000 under the old HUD program but that grant was cancelled after work failed to proceed on schedule. Capelle is a member of the state committee appointed to develop guidelines for administering the federal grants. He explained that priorities will be placed on economic development, housing and community facilities. “There will be some real opportunities in PD9,” he noted. Applications for the block grants may be submitted between January and March with the grants awarded in late spring or early summer, Capelle reported. How the money will be dispersed is still undecided, “whether it will be competitive statewide or awarded to regions,” he said. “The state will get to make that decision.” At Thursday’s meeting to discuss funding opportunities with Capelle were Carson Johnson and Donald Gore, chairman and member of Rappahannock’s Water and Sewer Authority. WSA secretary-treasurer Bob Dennis was unable to attend but spoke to the planning district commission’s executive directory by telephone.

(From Little Orphan Annie by James Whitcomb Riley) Saturday night is Halloween, the traditional time for “gobble-uns” to be out roaming the countryside. As it’s celebrated today, it brings to mind pictures of little ghosts and fairy princesses, jack-o-lanterns and costume parties. It’s truly a time of fun for children and devoid of any real terror of the likes that Orphan Annie’s tales once evoked in her listeners. But for our ancestors, Halloween was a mixture of pagan and Christian beliefs, some involving supernatural practices.

Enemies of the early Christians worked mischief all through this night to counteract the sacred ceremonies conducted by the followers of Christ. They worshipped the devil, made huge bonfires and played mean tricks. For both Christians and pagans, ghosts were accepted as real, even by the most educated. Today, we hear about houses visited by some trick of physics or psychology, said to be haunted by a ghost, a restless spirit of one dead, perhaps guilt-ridden, perhaps killed wrongfully, perhaps searching for something missing in life—but denied the peaceful sleep of the dead. Most of us have heard the stories. But we don’t often think about ghosts. According to reports, however, there are at least a few spirits among us here in Rappahannock. Bob Eastham began his story of a trick playing ghost with assurances that the events happened exactly as he remembers them. “I give you my word of honor. My brother Granville can vouch for it—he was there too.” The two boys walked a mile and a half from the family farm to school in Flint Hill and on the way, were supposed to drop off fresh milk at their grandmother’s. Their mother had given them strict instructions to avoid horseplay and Bob remeinbers following her orders to the letter. “Granville carried my books and I was holding the milk jar by the neck and by the bottom when we got to where the Buford house is. I heard a tinkle, the jar broke and the milk spilt all on the macadam road. Now I swear that we were not horseplaying and I didn’t drop it I told - my mother that it dropped itself.” Bob recalls throwing the broken glass into honeysuckle bushes on the side of the road and continuing on to school. The next morning, the two boys set out again, Granville carrying the school books and Bob toting the milk, this time in an old vinegar jug with a ring he could stick his finger through. “When we got to the Buford house, the whole jar dropped completely straight down and I had the glass ring still around my finger! We cleaned the glass from the road and tossed it into the honeysuckle right on top of the other broken glass. It was exactly the same spot where the accident had happened the day before...I got this weird feeling that somebody had me by the throat and was making this RCHS Honor Roll The following is a list of RCHS students who made the Honor Roll for the first Advisory: Grade 8~*-Rob Brown, Wendy ' Burke, Natalie Butler, Anita Delgrosso, Tara Fisher, Karen Harrison, Beth Helms, Dannette Hickerson, Chucky Jenkins, Kenny Jenkins, Sandra Jenkins, Karen Jordan, Chuck Larimer, Debra Lysik, Charlotte Magee, Detyk Moore, Elaine McCabe, Cheryl McCutchen, Tina Scheldegger, Mike Stark, Michelle Thompson, Jackie Wayland, Angela Williams, Darren Williams, Henry B.

Anti-Crime The ACT-Virginia program originated by Delegate Gerald Baliles as a comprehensive effort to seek out local recommendations on solving the crime problem in all areas has established a chapter in Rappahannock. Headed by Carson Johnson of Sperryville as director, the committee is composed of Mrs. Dorothy Butler, also of Sperryville; supervisor Hubert Gilkey of Chester Gap; commonwealth’s attorney Douglas Baumgardner and Sheriff W. A. Buntin. Delegate Baliles, now a candidate for Attorney General of Virginia in the November 3 election, has implemented the involvement of business owners, school teachers, law enforcement officials, young people, retired people and concerned citizens in the anti-crime movement. Baliles said each team will determine the nature and scope of crime in its locality; analyze the causes of increase in crime and recommend actions for the locality and state consideration. Baliles will review the recommendations from all the state’s teams and if elected in November will present them to the 1982 General Assembly. r-AmeriGas-» SHENGAS 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. bearing. water beating and cooking Hardwick Ranges Ruud Water Heaters Space Heaters Ln.in Tr happen.” But Mr. Easxham wasn’t impressed by the mystery of the undelivered milk. The next morning, she sent Bob off - ith a mason jar full, instructing him to hold it carefully in both hands. “I had one hand on the top and the other hand un-, derneath the bottom of the jar. There was no way it was going to get away from mel I was holding it tightly in both hands when we passed the Buford house. This time, it fell apart by cracking around the middle and milk came spurting out through the cracks...’Something is happening here,’ I told myself and then I looked around to see where’here’ was. I looked up on the hill directly opposite us and I saw the Eastham graveyard. Uncle Kootz was playing another one of his jokes on me!” Eastham said that his uncle, a reknown teaser and practical joker, had been buried in tne cemetery just a year before. “I’ve thought about it many, many times and after SO years, I still can’t come up with a rational, scientific explanation of what happened to those milk jars. It had to be somebody in that graveyard who was recently buried and Uncle Kootz was the only one I’d had a relationship with. I didn’t even known any of the others and he’d been a big one for practical jokes and teasing me.” The Oscar Baldwin home up in Harris Hollow was the scene of a yearly ghostly event, according to Charlie Baldwin. Christmas Eve, not Halloween, was the night that the Oscar Baldwins and their children heard the yard gate open, the sound of feet along the board walk, and the front i door open and close. | “All of us children heard it," Baldwin said. “The first ' time it happened, mother was alone. My father had taken her sister home to White Post after a Christmas Eve visit. Mother had already gone to bed. She got up and lit a kerosene lamp • there was no electricity up the hollow then. She went down the hall - the living room was to the left and the kitchen to the right It was an old house • the floors and doorways weren’t entirely plumb, so the door dragged on the floor when it opened. Mother thought Dad was playing a trick on her and she looked and looked but there was no one. She told us about it and we kind of thought it would happen again and it did. Every Christmas Eve after that we listened and heard the same noise. All of us children heard it: Clarence, George, Aubrey, Lena and myself.’’ L. J. Turner, who practices medicine in Warrenton but grew up on Mt. Salem Avenue in Washington, told us a story that happened to him when he was a child in Rappahannock: “Where Judge Snead’s house is right at the edge of town there used to be a cattleguard and beside it a big oak. I think the oak tree is still there. We used to hear and to tell a tale that a man had been hung from that oak - years ago, even then. His name was supposed to have been Robert Fitzhugh. “Well, folks said that you could go at night and stand under the oak and say ‘Robert Fitzhugh, what was you hung for?’ And a voice was supposed to answer back, ‘Nothing at all.’ “I went by the big oak one night and I said: ‘Robert Fitzhugh what was you hung for?’ That night. Jack Miller had some cattle in the field in back of some bushes and some.old. cow came up and rustled the bushes end moo’ed and I nearly died of fright I thought Fitzhugh’s ghost was after me for sure.” Acey Frye tells a story about the old Hitt place right below the farm he grew up on in Slate Mills. The boys had to go around the old, abandoned house on the way to church. Most Sundays, it wasn’t bad because it was daylight and other folks would be out walking too. But coming back from revivals at night Acey and his brother could hear the old front door opening and doting. The very wont scare was one time late at night when the boys passed by the Hitt house. After the usual sounds of the door opening and slamming shut, they saw a huge white shape-like a cat with no tail,-start across the yard after them. Well, Acey and his friends found a bigrock to throw at the mysterious shape as it followed them. Acey has never forgotten his terror when the big rock he’d thrown came back at him as he took off down the road. We’re as close as your mailbox.

Don't take for granted that assigning the mortgage to another is automatic. The lender has a stake in who’s going to repay him. Many mortgages are written which specifically prohibit this practice without the consent of the mortgage lender. The teeth will be found in an inserted acceleration clause which makes the whole balance due and payable upon sale. The bank can activate or waive this clause depending on the credit rating of the buyer, maintenance of the property or spread between original and current interest rates. If the interest spread is great - don’t count on a takeover mortgage. Before you advertise “low int. mort. takeover”, and set yourself up for a letdown, why not have us check your mortgage and advise you. *CT ’ HH m If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M.

Member, Audit Bureau of Circulation THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29,1981 A Safe Halloween On Halloween night “trick-or-treat” traditionally implies safe fun and joking, not dangerous pranks or acts of vandalism, reminds the Virginia Department of Transportation Safety (VDTS). “Sign vandalism particularly, can be a matter of life and death for motorists and pedestrians,” warns VDTS Director John T. Hanna. “Crashes have occurred on Halloween where people were injured or even killed because of a missing stop sign,” he added. On this night last year hundreds of traffic signs were damaged or Stolen costing Virginais thousands of dollars in addition to accident loses. "Signs, objects, trash or pumpkins thrown into streets also create dangers for motorists and pedestrians,’’ Hanna said. Evening twilight can be especially hazardous for drivers because costume colors fade, contrast disappears and visual perception becomes more impaired. “Motorists, remember that hundreds of youngsters will be out after dark. Be prepared for the unexpected and avert tragic mishaps by driving more alertly with good visibility,” Hanna urged. Turn on headlights as soon as natural light fades. For maximum efficiency, be sure they are cleaned and aimed correctly. Dirt and mud can reduce , light output as much as 75 per cent. Trick-or-treating pedestrians can increase their visibility by carrying flashlights and wearing bright clothing. Apply reflective tape or paint to dark costumes, like witches or vampires, and trick-ortreat bags. Tape and paint are available at some hardware, department and costume shops. Face make-up is recommended for a safe disguise instead of wearing a mask that can obstruct vision. Letters To The Editor Beard Expresses Appreciation To the editor: 1 am using this good newspaper to thank the folks of Rappahannock for their many kindnesses during the four years that I served as their Delegate to the General Assembly. I'm sorry that redistricting has eliminated Rappahannock from my district. So many people in this great county have helped in a multitude of ways to make my job in Richmond easier, for which I am most grateful. My very best wishes and deep appreciation go to all the fine folks' in Rappahannock. Now, I commend you to seriously consider supporting my good friend and colleague, Andy Guest. He is an intelligent and outstanding legislator in many ways.

He has top committee assignments in agriculture, conservation and natural resources, finance and roads and internal navigation which will be of great benefit to citizens here. I sincerely urge all the people to turn out and vote for my good friend Andy. Lastly, but equally as important, my sincere ap preciation goes to the wonderful folks of the Rappahannock News, especially to Sarah Latham and Daphne Hutchinson for writing stories during my tenure as Rappahannock’s representative in Richmond. They have been fair and accurate in every respect. A public servant can ask for no more. GEORGE P. BEARD, JR. * Pro-Col6man To the editor: I am amazed to hear some people say that it doesn’t seem to matter whether the Republican, Marshall Coleman, or the Democrat, Charles Robb, wins the Governor’s race in Virginia, as there is not "a whisker’s difference” between them. If the Republican, Marshall Coleman, is elected, the Commonwealth of Virginia will be in an advantageous position to cooperate with the “Back to the States Programs” of the Reagan Administration in Washington, our United States Senators and our own Congressman, Kenneth Robinson, on a selective sensible basis. There will be no political dues owed the various liberal organizations such as those which have endorsed Robb—Henry Howell’s and George Rawlings’ Virginia National Democratic Caucus, The Virginia Crusade for Voters, and the Virginia A.F.L.C.I.O., to name a few. Robb could not ignore the pressures exerted by those groups and would appoint all cabinet heads, all department heads, and 3,000 members of commissions and boards with people such as Henry Howell and George Rawlings, thus putting them back in positions of power. In the past, the has demonstrated his vulnerability to party pressure when he supported Elmo Zumwalt, Henry Howell and Jimmy Carter (twice). Though he professes to be a fiscal conservative, he would be obligated to embrace his party’s big spending, big taking philosophy—hence no vetoes of budget-busting bills passed by a Democratic majority in the State Legislature. I urge the voters to give very serious thought to the exonomic future of our Nation and our Commonwealth, and vote for Marshall Coleman on November 3rd.

Our Rappahannock Heritage —Rappahannock New* Photo/S. Latham Planners Propose Map (Continued from Page 1) Agricultural and Forestal Districts Act, however. The original application filed several months ago by Dwyer covered just his 1,050 acres. Dietl and Irwin added their parcels to the original within the 30-day time limit for including properties that lie within a mile radius. The application plus the two tag-ons was forwarded to the special ag district ad visory committee for review and comment and was then sent back in August to the planning commission for an advertised public hearing. But at this point, the planning commissioners began the entire ag district approval process all over again in order to allow Saltonstall time to add her property. According to records in the clerk’s office, Dwyer Create A Monster Halloween costumes follow fads, and judging by the masks and disguises on display at the local five and dime stores, monsters are the “in” thing this season. Youngsters who buy readymade costumes run the risk of meeting their double at the neighborhood party or while making the trick-or-treat rounds. Besides, it’s more fun—and cheaper—to watch a Wolfman, Bride of Frankenstein or Blacula come to life in front of the bathroom mirror. To assist junior Boris Karloffs in making the transition from kid to creepy monster, we’ve borrowed the following ideas, directions and recipes from Scholastic Book Services’ Movie Monsters. Warts What’s a monster or witch without warts? They’re great on the tip of the nose, in bunches on the back of a hand, or one at a time on the chin. To make them, squeeze out a large blob of liquid skin adhesive on a plate or other smooth, hard surface and let it dry. Keep adding layers until the wart is the desired size. When dry, stick it on ■ with the liquid skin adhesive. For a lumpy wart, roll a piece of facial tissue into a ball, soak the ball with liquid skin adhesive and allow to dry. The skin adhesive dries clear so the color of the tissue will show through. When the wart is about half dry, a few little hairs can be stuck on for an even eerier effect. Blood Ask any scarey movie fan and they’ll tell you that monsters usually come complete with blood smears on their costumes. An easy blood recipe calls for nontoxic washable red poster (tempera) paint, red, yellow and blue food color and corn syrup. A word of caution: the food color will stain. To a cup of corn syrup, (Continued on Page 10) f Safe Costumes Home-made Halloween costumes can have the safety of being made flame retardant. Mix three ounches of boric acid and seven ounces of borax with two quarts of water. Saturate the fabric or material and allow to drip dry. The material will resist fire until washed or wet by rain, said the faculty member in Tech’s College of Home Economics. If the costume is purchased, be sure the label indicates that it is flame retardant. Other safety precautions should be taken too. Light, bright costumes are best because they are easily seen by others. Trim the costume with a flourescent or reflective tape. Masks and hoods obstruct vision. Cosmetics can be used to make up a face to be almost anything. Small children find it easier to be made up than to cope with the mask. Long, flowing garments are not a good choice for Halloween revelers. Besides increasing the possibility of tripping over the costume itself, the extra material may be a fire hazard if it flows past an open flame. Never permit children to carry pumpkins with lighted candles. Give them flashlights to help see along darkened sidewalks. resubmitted his request for an ag district on September 24. The new application—including Irwin’s, Dietl’s and Saltonstall’s tagons—went to the planners on October 7 and was never referred to the ag district advisory committee. Neither did the planning commission advertise or hold a public hearing before voting unanimously to recommend that the supervisors approve the district. Therefore, it appears that procedures for establishing a district will have to be picked up again with the required legal notice of receipt of a district application. Next, the application will have to go to the advisory committee for comment and then back before the planning commission for public hearing before it can be forwarded to the supervisors for consideration. Library Fund Drive The Rappahannock County Library has launched its annual fund drive with letters soliciting contributions going out to library users throughout the county. According to James Jamieson, president of the non-profit Friends of the Rappahannock County Library, Inc.Tthe library has shown a growth rate of 630 percent in the decade between 1971 and now. Circulation of books climbed from 10,800 in 1979 to 12,000 last year while patron usage jumped from 8,100 to 8,500. Loan of books is free to library users but running the library costs money. Contributions from the state and federal governments may be sent only for books and related materials. Operating expenses must be covered with funds supplied by the county, the town of Washington, income from endowments and donations from private citizens. Of these, private contributions are the largest single source of funds available to the library. Friends of the library note that continuing donations are vitally important to the maintenance of the current high level of service. Contributions to the Friends of the Rappahannock Library are tax deductible and can be mailed to that organization, Washington, Va. 22747. Rappahannock News Poll Results Governor Wash.-Fl. HI.

Robb is clearly the one right choice for governor in this November's election. KOHB 1. Charles Robb wM protect our conservative fiscal traditions. He has promised to work cooperatively with the conservative General Assembly to avoid tax increases, but he has courageously refused to seek votes by pledging to veto any new tax. Charles Robb understands that the full impact of reduced federal revenues, inflation, and high interest rates cannot be responsibly predicted now for the next four years. 2. Charles Robb win be an outstanding spokesman tor more new Jobs. He’s ready to go to work for 50,000 new jobs a year, with a remarkable 120-point plan for economic development. And with his national prominence in the business community, he’ll see that American industry gets Virginia’s message— so Virginians get the jobs. 3. Charles Robb wM tight rising crime rates with 60 tough proposals. His comprehensive program to promote swift, sure punishment includes provisions for stiffer criteria for bail; tougher sentences for repeat offenders; a crackdown on criminals using firearms; and intensified prosecution of hard drug dealers. 4. Charles Robb wM continue to support every Virginian’s right to work. He has consistently upheld our right-to-work law, both as a fundamental freedom and an important new-business incentive. He has just as consistently opposed collective bargaining for public employees. And he will stand by both of those positions as governor. 5. Charles Robb win provide the leadership which Is the real Issue of tlris campaign. In spite of strong efforts by Charles Robb’s opponent to turn the election into a referendum on President Reagan and ride into office on the President’s coattails, the only real issue is leadership for Virginia. One of two men will be governor for the next four years. That is what this election is all about. If you share our concern for the possible outcome of this year’s election, we urge you join us and support the one r*ndiHato who is honestly in step with the traditions, the hopes, and the needs of Virginia today: Charles Robb, for governor, November 3!

Mail Order Business Offers Personal Service From Local Shops By THERESA REYNOLDS R«|»|Mihann<irk >•*%**» Staff I ritrr Beset by inflation and a steady but very real decrease in the traffic through Sperryville, two businesses there have turned to mail order catalogs to help even out the ups and downs of rural sales. Martin and Cheri Woodard of Faith Mountain Herbs and Jimmy and Phyllis Swindler of Country Manor have recently published catalogs offering selections by mail from their Rappahannock stores. The W. T.

Hill, Vs. 675-3805 675-35001 results have surprised and encouraged both families. On a visit to Sperryville shortly after both catalogs were mailed out, Cheri Woodard and Phyllis Swindler explained why they made the decision to branch out in this new direction. First stop was Faith Mountain Herbs in the middle of town. To the rear of the shop the Woodards have set up a building as a storeroom and here Cheri and her assistant, Paula Klatko were mailing out mountains of catalogs. “Forty thousand catalogs didn’t mean much to me in sheer numbers until we started to mail them out,” Cheri said. “There are all kinds of things to consider like whether the post office can handle this increased volume, learning to sort our mailing correctly, even the problem of lifting and carrying these huge bundles.” Both Cheri and Phyllis have bought mailing lists —not just any random list of mail order shoppers but names that are likely to buy the kind of specialized, country-flavored products that both shops offer. Cheri explained that with a good list, she could expect about a six percent return. So for her many days of writing, designing and mailing out the catalog, she can expect Dr. Edward Burak Announces The Opening of his Fauquier Chiropractic Office 127 East Shirley Ave. (Across from Horse Show Grounds) Warrenton, Virginia All Spinal and joint Ailments Lower Back Pain Nutrition Hours by appointment 347-5900 nearly seven thousand orders. Her “house list” has a higher yield. These are the names she’s put together of customers who have already patronized Faith Mountain or who have been mentioned as friends who would like to receive a catalog. Once a person has made an order, there is a greater chance that he or she will order again, so the list actually gets more accurate as time wears on. Advertising the catalog in national magazines is expensive but brings a tremendous response. The person who actually writes away for a Faith Mountain catalog also is more likely to place an order. Although the responses , can be predicted the expense of making up and mailing out a catalog are so great that there is definitely a risk involved. ‘‘There are no schemes to get rich quick in the country,” Cheri said. "Or if there are, we haven't discovered them. To be able to make a living in the country - to live where we want to. .live and to dq wb*t we want to do - this seems like a real victory.” Cheri is quick to point out that her husband, Martin - a stonemason, has provided not only the financial backing and affectionate encouragement for the shop, but has been the one to offer practical business advice for keeping the shop growing during hard financial times. "He’s encouraged me every step of the way as far as the mail-order business goes,” she said. "He’s more able to ♦ike a risk, to foresee the iture and predict trends lan I am.” Martin also serves as the Pop” of this “Mom and op” business. In the inoduction to the third lition of the Faith lountain catalog, Cheri gns her little message, rheri and Martin.” And .“ople write to them: "Dear .heri and Martin..” One lady wrote from Ohio: “Never have I received so much personal attention.” Personal attention is what Cheri hopes will come to be the hallmark of the Faith Mountain mail order business.

Here are some of the elements: •ECONOMIC SECURITY * •Phased repeal of the sales tax on food •Easing the retention of home ownership •Containment of health care costs •USE OF SENIORS AS A RESOURCE -The ROBB plan would tap the knowledge, judgement, perspective and skills of seniors to plan for and improve the quality of services to older Virginians. •DELIVERY OF SERVICES •Foster community-based long-term care for older Virginians -Reliance on voluntary, private-sector activity to serve older Virginians’ needs. •EDUCATION -Encouragement of post-retirement education programs for older Virginians.

Democratic Committee only 3 in four years) is dealt with quickly, every order is filled just as fast as Cheri and Paula can manage it. “This part of the business really makes it possible for us to make use of slack time,” Cheri said. “If I had been dependent on the walk-in trade this summer, business would have suffered.” A threatening fourth of July and a rainy Labor Day weekend could seriously undermine the profits of an entire tourist season. And the completion of the highway link that effectively routes mountain bound tourists to Front Royal would have been another blow. "This way, I can fill orders during slow times at the shop. If I get too busy, I can work at night filling orders—it gives me a little more control of my time,” Cheri said. A look through the Faith Mountain catalog “Quaint Expressions”, gives you much the same feeling that you get in a personal visit to the store. There are herbs and herb-related products. local^ crafts, old-fashioned toys and* home-decorating ideas. On the cover is a discovery of Cheri’s - a life size rocking horse carved in England. You can pick one up at the store for only $1800 for the large horse or just stop by and look at it and at the herbal products and antiques Cheri has at the shop. Or, if you prefer to order from the catalog, any order placed by December 10 will be filled by Christmas. Like the Woodards the Swindlers at Country Manor on Route 211 a few miles east of Sperryville, have tried to feature in their catalog a sampling of each kind of item found in the shop. There are toys, mountain crafts and products, a huge selection of baskets and some Country Manor specialties like the Blue Ridge Mountain trolls. Also like the Woodards, the Swindlers have published a catalog before but this is the first year they’ve done it on such a large scale and the process is exciting, if a little scary. On one recent trip there we found Phyllis Swindler at work filling some of the mail orders generated by the catalog. The service she was providing was as personal as larger operations would like you to think they have. At Country Manor, the picture of personal service is the real thing. Phyllis had taken an order early that morning by phone at her home. (“This lady from Pennsylvania just couldn’t wait,” Phyllis said. "She called me at home at 8:00 to place her order.”) Then Phyllis picked up other orders from the post office, loeeed them in to record both Building? •Paint _( •Lumber ^ , •Millwork '§ •Hardware *3 Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By Pass Warrenton 347 1400 payment and the changes in inventory and dashed around the shop to fill the orders, right from the shelves. “Obviously, if we get more deeply into mail order, we will have to have special store room shelves with everything numbered,” she said. "But now, I just fill orders from our regular stock.” Phyllis wrote a little personal note on the bottom of the copy of the order form that’s enclosed with the package, wrapped and addressed it, and stacked it in the front of the store. All this was done in between her regular duties in the store and all that day’s orders were finished before the UPS man came by for his daily pick-up. The Swindlers have plans to use an area in the basement for the mail order portion of the business so that it will be self-contained away from the traffic upstairs. Phyllis said that one of the points that made mail order so attractive to her was the possibility of keeping . her , help full-time. “Even if ttjtu* turns out that the mail-order allows us to let our employees work all through the year, it will be worth it,” she said. When 1 talked to Phyllis, her catalog had been sent out two weeks before and had already generated two hundred responses. Phyllis said that most orders were for thirty-five dollars or more. Trolls are her biggest sellers, but so far there’s a pretty even spread on the items featured in her catalog. “That’s how 1 hoped it would be,” she said. “I didn’t want there to be a huge run on any particular item.” This is especially true of her crafts, particularly her -baskets. “Anything that’s made here, by local people, we just have to keep whatever stock on hand that we can, depending on how fast they can make them,” she said. “A huge order of one kind of basket could easily use up our stock.” Phyllis said that one reason for the good response to her catalog is that many of her items are noticeably cheaper than the same things in (Continued on Page 1> Foreign & American Car Repairs Specializing in German & Japanese _Made Cars Jack’s Service Center 30 Ashby Street Warrenton 347-3785* ( Tested and ready for the job of Virginia's next Lt.

She was surprised to see that her twelve-inch egg basket was forty dollars cheaper than one offered by a New England catalog. “This has been tru of several things,” she said. "I know that most of the people who get our catalog get others and so they’ll be able to compare prices.” Like Cheri, Phyllis is advertising in a national magazine for those interested in sending for her catalog. The charge of one dollar is refunded from the first order. Both the Swindlers and the Woodards say that they will be pleased if this, their first large-scale catalog promotion, allows them to break even on expenses and extra help. But future catalogs will allow them to become more efficient and increase sales by further refining their mailing lists and by weeding out items that don’t sell as well as others. If hard work, lots of energy and an old-fashioned emphasis on warm personal service mean anything at all, then these Sperryville families can’t fail. EVEN A GROWN-UP COULD ROCK on this almost life-size rocking horse at Faith Mountain Herbs and Antiques in Sperryville. Made in England, each horse is individually carved, registered and signed and may be purchased through the mail order catalog from Cheri Woodard’s Faith Mountain store.

Rapley Owing* Extf—lon Agent Farm Fencing Tear, Wednesday, November 11 There is a tremendous amount of interest in the relatively new smooth hightensile wire fencing system that have been introduced into the state within the past few years. Many believe these new systems can reduce fencing costs substantially and increase the useful life of the fence. Since the folks at' the Shenandoah Valley Research Station at Steeles Tavern have taken the leadership in introducing and testing these new fencing systems as they come on the market, we have made arrangements for Rappahannock and Madison County farmers to observe and compare the more than 18 different fencing systems now being tested on this 1,000 acre farm. Everyone associated with the high-tensile smooth wire fencing industry agrees that these fences must be constructed properly to be successful and effective. Sam Winthrow, the most experienced Virginian in this type of fencing, will explain proper end assemblies, bracing and other construction principles. We will meet at ‘ the Extension Office at 8 a.m., Wednesday, November 11, and pool transportation. We should be through the fencing tour by 12:10 p.m. and plans are to eat at White’s Truck Stop. Thrift Shop The Washington Ladies Auxiliary Thrift Shop will close November 20 for the winter months. The shop will be open on Election Day, November 3, and on Saturday, November 7, from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. and will be open each Wednesday and Friday until the 20th. Special sales will be held during this time and the selection includes winter clothing for men, women and children along with useful household items. The members of the auxiliary would like to express their thanks to everyone who supported their shop during the past year. Reorganization The Castleton Volunteer Fire Department will hold its monthly meeting Wednesday, November 4, beginning at 8 p.m. at the fire hall. Everyone in the community is urged to participate as reorganization of the company will be discussed. “We strongly need your support in this effort,” said a spokesman for the department.

Brush hair back from forehead and draw in a widow’s peak with eyebrow pencil or liquid eyeliner. To darken hair, liquid black shoe polish may be applied with a piece of cotton, an old comb or tissue.

Comb hair back flat from the face and use hair spray to hold it in place. REV. C. W. TRENUM Revival Meet Continues Rev.
