According to Facing Up. only four counties and nine cities are better able to pay for education than Rappa hannock as measured by the composite index which takes into account true value of property, personal income, taxable retail sales, average daily school membership and total population. The localities with a higher composite index than Rappahannock's .6541 in 1980-81 were Arlington, Lancaster, Louisa and Surry counties and the cities of Alexandria, Charlottesville, Fairfax, Franklin, Harrisonburg, Richmond, Williamsburg and Winchester. Rappahannock fell near the bottom of the list in 198081 for average classroom teacher salary, ranking 118th with $12,234. The average for the state in that year was $15,553. All surrounding counties had a higher average, ranging from $14,632 in Fauquier to $12,680 in Page. Average Pay Up Compared to 1979-80, the average classroom teacher pay in Rappahannock rose 12.6 percent. Only 27 school divisions in the state had a higher percentage increase between 1979-80 and 198081. For the same period, the average increase for the state was 10.5 percent. In 1980-81. 59 of the state's 130 school divisions had a lower pupil-teacher ratio than Rappahannock's 15.6 pupils per teacher. The state average for that year was 16.0 for kindergarten through 12th grade. Despite its high ranking in ability to pay for education, Rappahannock County provided just 41.4 percent of total school funds from local sources, below the state average of 45.8 percent. Forty-seven of the state’s school divisions, including Fauquier County, provided more in local support for education. For 1980-81, 14.6 percent of Rappahannock's total school expenditures for operations came from state retail sales and use tax. Cumberland County was the only school division to derive a higher percentage (15.1) from that source. Out of Rappahannock’s 1981 graduating class of 77 students. 30 (39 percent) continued their education past high school: 13 percent to a two-year college, 24.7 percent to a four-year college and 1.3 percent to some other form of continuing education. Of the remaining 47 students w ho did not go on in school, all had marketable skills, according to Face Up. For the state as a whole, 60.5 percent of 1981 graduates went on to higher education.

More Honors For The Inn B> DAPHNE IKTCHIVSOIN Ka|>|>ah;mn... I, V„s stnff w rju.r Just when you thought there were no more accolades left to be bestowed. The Inn at Little Washington has added another laurel leaf to its crow n. Since it opened in 1978, Patrick O'Connell's and Reinhart Lynch's restaurant has won rave notices from food critics at the old Washington Star. the Washington Post and a list of Virginia newspapers from as far away as Lynchburg, Epicures have bombarded Bon Appetit and Gourmet magazine with recipe requests for the masterpieces that O'Connell creates in The Inn's kitchen.,In 1980, the Washington, D.C. chapter of the International Wine and Food Society wrote “Everything was absolutely perfect" after holding its annual dinner meeting at The Inn. When Ronald Reagan flew into Rappahannock for a visit with columnist James J. Kilpatrick, strawberry tarts prepared by kitchen assistants Joyce Smoot and Josephine Aylor were delivered to the Kilpatrick's home tor the President’s dessert. I hen last year, in a special dining issue, Esquire magazine listed the 100 best new restaurants in the United States. The only establishment included from Virginia was The Inn at Little Washington. And The Inn’s hold on high culinary honors continues to grow stronger. The restaurant that put' Rappahannock on the dining map drew reporters from the Washington Post and New York Times to town this week to cover the first formal meeting of the Washington, D.C. chapter of Les Dames d’Escoffier. International Organization Named in honor of Auguste Escoffier, “The King of Chefs and the Chef of Kings” who is widely recognized as the greatest culinary artist of the modern age, Les Dames is dedicated to the furtherance of careers in gastonomy for women. It was founded in the late 1800s in Paris as an answer to the exclusive all-male wine and cheese societies which refused admittance to women. Branch chapters of “foodies,” as the members refer to themselves, have been established in the past few years in New York. San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago and Washington. The membership rosters include chefs, restaurant owners, food writers — all women (Continued on Page 2) Memorial Day Closings Closed for Memorial Day next Monday, May 31, will be the Rappahannock Bank, The Farmers and Merchants Bank in Flint Hill, the Post Office, all county and state offices, the Rappahannock News and the Rappahannock Farmer’s Co-Op. Rappahannock County Elementary and High School and Wakefield School will remain open. Planners Ready For Work Sessions I he Rappahannock Planning Commissioners and zoning administrator David Konick reviewed a completed rough draft of the county’s revised zoning ordinances last week with professional planner Drck McNear. “Notice it says ‘rough draft'," McNear emphasized in going over major changes during a Lengthy session that was highlighted by jokes, laughter, anecdotes and references to "old blue,” the blue-covered existing zoning laws that have guided and controlled county growth since 1973. McNear, a Rappahannock resident who is the planner for neighboring Fauquier, suggested that the commissioners study the document for two weeks and then "put noses to the grindstone” in work sessions to prepare the proposed changes for public hearing. Over the past year, the commissioners have been presented with a chapter of the rewritten zoning laws every month or so but Wednesday night was the first time they had seen the separate articles as a unit. The spotlight was on the flood plain section. As proposed by McNear. the ordinance continues to rely on soils to deliniate flood plain. But flood plain becomes an overlay zone which means that in Sperryville’s case, all uses allowed in the underlying zone—residential village or commercial village—will be permitted, subject to use limitations. Permitted by right in a flood plain under the proposed ordinance are: —Agricultural uses such as general farming, pasture, grazing, outdoor plant nurseries, horticulture, truck fanning, forestry, sod farming and wild crop harvesting. —public and private recreational uses and activities. —accessory residential uses such as yard areas,, gardens, play areas and previous loading areas. —accessory industrial and commercial uses such as yard areas, previous parking and (Continued on Page 12) J Jenkins Guilty in circuit court on Thursday. Donald Gene Jenkins of Washington pleaded guilty to shooting into a motor vehicle, a felony offense that carries a penalty of between two and 10 years in the penitentiary. Jenkins' decision to change his plea guilty came just an hour before his case was scheduled to go before a jury. According to an outline of the circumstances presented by commonwealth's attorney Douglas Baumgardner, Jenkins and Linda Ridgeway, also of Washington, were in the parking lot at B & B Service Center on Route 211 on the night of September 26, 1981, when the defendant fired at a truck in w hich Billy Fstes and Angela McClyborn, both from Manassas. and Jimmy McFarland of Washington were riding. r Estes, McClyborn and McFarland bad been at the Hampton Inn across the street until approximately 10 pm. when they left to take McFarland's brother Gerte to his home in Sperryville. The three stopped at the restaurant on their return to buy cigarettes. While Estes was in the establishment, Ridgeway and Jenkins, who had been barred from the Hampton Inn at an earlier date, yelled insults from across the highw ay. When Estes came back out. Jenkins threatened “I’m going to beat your --- punk" as he walked toward the truck with a pistol in his hand, according to Baumgardner. Estes got back in the truck and as the vehicle pulled away from the restaurant and started down the highway, the three passengers heard four gun shots, the commonwealth's attorney said. They located deputies from the Rappahannock Sheriffs office and swore out a warrant for Jenkins. An examination of their truck the following morning uncovered two bullet holes in the rear of the vehicle and a tail light shot out. One of the bullets penetrated a tool box that was located directly behind where Angela McGybom was sitting in the cab, Baumgardner noted, adding that contents of the tool box were damaged. After accepting the guilty plea from Jenkins, Judge Shore Robertson asked for a pre-sentence report and set sentencing for July 12. STEALING THE SHOW at last weekend’s performances of The Music Man, the barbershop quartet singers won a hearty round of applause every time they came on stage. Vic Lagman, Jimmie Freeman, Jeff Dwyer and Bob Baines were awarded ‘‘Best Actor” honors by directors Don and Judy Bomberger at Saturday night's cast party. (See review of the Music Man on Page 2).

The Inn Hosts White House Chef As Guest Of Honor (Continued from Page 1) and all with an appreciation of fine dining. Barbara Witt, organizer of the affair at The Inn, established the Big Cheese Restaurant in Georgetown and is currently working on a cookbook. "She told us that Les Dames considered every restaurant in the D.C. area before choosing The Inn for their dinner meeting." Lynch reported. The diners spent four hours on a special chartered bus for the round trip from the other Washington to the First Washington on Tuesday. “That’s quite a sacrifice hf time, O’Connell noted. The official guest of honor at the dinner was White House chef Henry Haller. ‘‘He’s been in Washington, D.C., for 30 years and I think he’s worked for every President since Truman,” The Inn's chef added. The party included one Senator, Mark Hatfield of Oregon, a guest rather than a member of Les Dames. Marian Burros, a food editor for the New York Times, was there along with the daughter of the paper’s r publisher. The guest list also included the president of the U.S. chapters of Les Dames and Joan Nathan, cookbook author and Les Dames secretary who is writing a story on The Inn which will appear in the Washington Post Magazine's July 4 edition. Nathan visited Mattie Ball Fletcher last week for a background interview for the article and took tea with the grand old lady on a side porch draped with wisteria. Mrs. Fletcher’s recipe for candied grapefruit rind, already famous countywide, will soon gain national noteriety. This local delicacy was served with dessert at Les Dames' dinner and will be printed in the Post's July 4th color spread on The Inn. American Cuisine Mrs. Fletcher’s speciality is indicative of the “emerging American cuisine" featured at Les Dames’ inaugural dinner meeting. “They wanted a restaurant run by Americans, owned by Americans that used local products and combined foods from different parts 1 EUtppmiannock mms Rappahannock & Adjoining Counties per year $7 00 Elsewhere in the U S per year $8 50 Outside the U S per year $7 00 plus postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( )New ( ) Renewal ( (Check Enclosed NAME __ ADDRESS_ CITY ___ STATE ___ ZIP__ Entered as second class mail at the Post Office in Warrenton, Va.

In the 1950s, American cuisine was fried chicken, ham, baked beans and hotdogs. I have a friend who went to an international dinner while she was in college. Everybody was to bring something from their own country and all she could think of to contribute was hot dogs!" The Inn and other restaurants across the country are working to change that fried chicken and hot dog image, according to O’Connell. "America is a nation of cross cultures. We’re exposed to so much, to so many different types of cuisine. It gives us the freedom to be completely eclectic, to try a completely wide open mixing of cuisines to come up with something unique." Untapped Wealth The Inn's chef is focusing on the development of a regional cuisine inspired by the products available right here in Rappahannock County and combining those products in new ways. “It's a wealth, an untapped wealth, particularly in Virginia and particularly in Rappahannock County. . . In France, each region celebrates its own specialty. It should be the same here. Rappahannock's specialty has to be extended a little further beyond apple butter." Toward that end, the menu at The Inn features morrells. the delectable wild mushrooms that spring up in forests and fields during a much too short growing season. Local gardeners bring in snow peas and green beans just a few minutes off the vines, juicy tomatoes and the freshest of fresh herbs. Rhubarb is something that all country gardeners have growing along their fence rows. O’Connell takes that sour, often ignored vegetable and transforms it into an exquisite dessert, blending pungent with smooth, richness with simplicity. This rhubarb mousse with it's custardy creme anglaise sauce was dessert at Les Dames’ dinner. Smoked trout supplied by a lady in Harrisonburg who smokes it on her front porch topped Tuesday’s menu as an appetizer. O’Connell also served another first course example of The Inn’s “emerging American cuisine” — quackers, or crisply fried duck skin, presented with a dip of soy sauce, five spice powder, ginger, garlic and lemon. The meld of tastes from different countries was carried over into the entre, fresh bay scallops from Florida with a light sweet and sour beurne blanc sauce that mixes traditional Chinese with classic French. “There was a time when a chef could have been hung for that!" O’Connell joked about his newest foray into here-to-fore unexplored culinary realms. Everyone Helped The Inn was a regular bee hive of activity this week as friends and neighbors of the restaurant brought in flowers and produce for Tuesday’s big event. There were buckets of peonies, irises and more exotic blooms from Miss Annie Miller Almond, Eunice Sisk, Diane Welty and Lynn Crump. Andy Klopp raided her graden for fresh spinach, Sherrie Woodard provided herbs, Marian Lee pulled rhubarb from her fence row and Josephine Aylor dug up radishes. According to O'Connell, Les Dames d’Escoffier asked for a simple, understated menu. "We’re taking what we have here and combining it in new ways to match the theme for the dinner ‘The Emerging American NATIONAL AND STATE WINNERS - Proudly holding the state and national awards won by the Rappahannock County Garden Club for its outstanding flower show held last May in Amissville are (left to right! co-chairman Mrs. Morgan Johnston, staging chairman Mrs. Howard Holschuh, schedule chairman Mrs. George Davis and general chairman Mrs. Hugh Exton.

The two awards for flower show achievement, purple ribbon rosettes with certificates, were from the Virginia Federation and the National Council of State Garden Clubs, Inc. The national award had been announced earlier at the Council's convention in California. Local club members who put so much time and effort into making The Garden Gate Swings Wide a success were overjoyed with the recognition. Culinary Tradition’.” The end result was the same unqualified success that O'Connell achieves each time he enters a kitchen. The proof lies in the guest book that sits on the table in the front lounge. Every comment written on page after page after page is praise, lavish, bountitul and unstinted praise, every word of it richly deserved. “The American palates and people are emerging as the most sophisticated of all nations in knowledge and appreciation of good food,” O’Connell maintained. The Inn at Little Washington with its new emerging American cuisine is doing its part to educate and satisfy those emerging palates. Tuesday’s dinner was recognition of Patrick 0'Connell’s and Reinhart Lynch’s achievement. UTTCV TTVT — Rappahannock New*Phntn/D.

An international women’s organization, Les Dames is named in honor of Auguste Escoffier, the Chef of Kings and the King of Chefs. According to O’Connell, Escoffier was the first chef to rise from the dungeon of the scullery and take a place in society, the equal of world rulers and celebrities. Notes On The Arts Music Man By Georgia Wals worth Meredith Willson packed more people and production numbers and types of songs into Music Man than you can shake a fluglehorn at. And this past weekend at Rappahannock County High School, Music Man spilled ~ver the stage and reached the audience with all the rahrah enthusiasm that the student cast could muster. Compared to most musical comedies, the plot of Music Man is starkly simple and devoid of subplots. A con man, alias Prof. Harold Hill (Todd Robinson), comes to River City, Iowa, and convinces the citizenry that its youth will be led astray by temptation if they don't have a marching band to join. Prof. Hill takes orders for the uniforms and instruments and plans to run off with the down payments, though not before taking time to make time with Marian the librarian (Susan Dennis). Here the plot thickens (a little). Marian has a bad reputation which derives from her flagrant appreciation of the works of such known pornographers as Balzac and Rabelais. This reputed worldliness renders her all the more attractive to Prof. Hill who pursues her despite many rebuffs. Marian knows trom the beginning that he is a con artist but falls in love with him; he, in turn, touched by her acceptance of his duplicity, falls in love with her and remains in town to face the music. Todd Robinson was cast in the challenging role of Prof. Hill, and his pleasant voice and even performance kept up a nice pace for the other players to follow. Susan Dennis, with her natural manner and sweet voice, was perfect as Marian. In the role of Marian's mother was Julie Burke, a great little character actress, who in this production braved an Irish brogue which came out quite well. David Fisher, a sixth grader, played Winthrop, Marian’s lisping brother, and never mithed a lithp. Musical comedies usually depend on a few formula songs to assure public recognition and future recollection. In the case of Music Man, 76 Trombones is the rousing nnmber that has survived to become a staple for marching bands, and it was given a lusty revival by the small orchestra directed by Judy Bomberger. Another formula song is the romantic ballad—in this case Till There Was You, a favorite of 1950’s chanteuses and covered in the early 60’s by the Beatles who added a calypso beat. Willson wrote in a few requisite comedy numbers and then branched out with the interesting Rock Island chant which opens the play and was performed without a hitch by the travelling salesmen and Charlie Cowell (John Shanahan). Adding greater variety are the barber shop quartet numbers performed in an almost off-hand way by the "school board" which was composed of Victor Lagman, Jeff Dwyer, Bob Baines and Jimmy Freeman (who also performed a very snazzy dance). This quartet provided the brightest moments of the night and never failed to provoke a wild response from the audience. All four boys held their parts perfectly, and at one point, Victor Lagman took the audience by surprise with an exquisite falsetto that seemed to come out of nowhere. Much of the comedy is provided by Mayor Shinn and his wife Eulalie (Jim McCullough and Laura Adams) who are both a bit foolish. Mayor Shinn tries to deliver the Gettysburg address as part of a July 4th celebration, is interrupted and. despite several more attempts throughout the play, never gets past “Four score and seven..." Not exactly high comedy, but when coupled with his tendency toward malapropisms and botched epigrams, he is quite funny, and Jim McCullough has a real flair for this type of character. Laura Adams made the perfect foil as his long-suffering wife. The River City Dancers (choreographed by Laurie Marshall) provided an extra flourish to the proceedings, and special raves must go to Kim Williams and Cristal Porter—both looked polished and professional. Sets (by Jim Dennis and the Building Trades Class) were changed by the actors in view of the audience; store fronts rotated to reveal other buildings, and a minimum of props was carted around—all very effective. On closing night the cast (eloquently represented by Julie Burke) presented gifts of appreciation to Mrs. Barbara Sherman, the j pianist, and to Mr. and Mrs. Don Bomberger, the director and music director.

Real cEstate *Jl. HA1IO* HOME LOAN CHEAPEST OF ALL I Home buyers who think the cost of mortgage money is high today may be interested to learn that they are receiving preferential treatment from lending institutions. The cost of financing a home purchase is lower than the cost of financing almost any other type of real estate. In fact, the U.S. Government and the highest rated state and local governments are about the only borrowers who can obtain long term money at a lower rate than today’s home buyer. There is good reason why home buyers enjoy preferential loan status. Despite the recession, they have developed a reputation for being a better credit risk than most real estate borrowers. Delinquency rates among home buyers continue almost as low as before the recession. On the other hand, delinquencies and defaults among buyers and developers of commercial properties have reached record highs. Since the risk is higher, loans for commercial long term investments carry a higher interest rate.

The state’s high school drop-out rate for the same period was 5.3 percent. Seventy-two percent of the ninth grade class in 1977-78 went on to graduate from RCHS four years later, according to Facing Up. Among neighboring counties, only Warren with 78.7 percent had a significantly higher percentage of 1977’s ninth graders to graduate in 1981. Culpeper and Fauquier had 70.1 percent.

Washington, Va 22747 HOURS: 8 30 am to 5 30 p m , Mon -Fri Published by Warrenton Printing & Publishing Company, Inc Member, Audit Bureau ot Circulation Thursday, May 27,1982 Community Project Last week, 15 to 20 communityminded volunteers showed up at the Masonic Cemetery outside the town of Washington, armed with gloves, clippers and chain saws and ready to work cleaning up the debris from the site. Some were Masons, some wives of Masons, some had loved ones buried in the cemetery and some were just good hearted folks willing to lend a hand on a worthwhile project. They all deserve appreciation and recognition for their efforts. The cemetery has been able over the years to keep prices for burial plots down at a level that low and moderate income families in Rappahannock can afford. But to accomplish this, the local , Masonic Lodge has been forced to rely on volunteer labor to maintain upkeep. There’s just not money to pay for outside help. And generally, the labor has come from the Masons themselves. Gibson Whorton, the Lodge s cemetery chairman, was impressed with the turn-out to help on last Thursday and Friday’s clean-up project. "They did a wonderful job!” he said, praising the ladies in particular. But the work isn’t finished yet. There’s still brush that needs to be cut from the fence rows and corners. It's a never-ending task, particularly in spring and summer months. Local people have a choice. They can volunteer their time to help keep the cemetery maintained properly and in that way, assist in holding costs at the current low level. Without that volunteer effort, costs must either rise or upkeep must deteriorate. The Masonic Cemetery is a community cemetery. We join with the Masons in urging that its maintenance be a community project. Anyone with a few free hours needs only donate that time to clearing the brush from a section of fence row to make the community endeavor a success. The cemetery is always open and help is always welcome. In the same spirit of community cooperation, the Masons ask that families refrain from placing artificial flowers on graves from now through October loth. The wires from the flowers become tangled in riiower blades and make cutting the grass a difficult if not impossible task. If we all help, we can keep the Masonic cemetery a beautiful and dignified place for loved ones to take their final rest. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times...

Our Rappahannock Heritage Letters To The Editor Red Herring? To the editor: Two letters in the May 13 and 20 issues of the Rappahannock News, signed respectively by Tiny Carney and Robert Herring, provide a fascinating look at an important aspect of the current political debate. Mrs. Carney says: the overall impression left by media reporting - that the Reagan Administration, by slashing funds proposed for social programs, demonstrates lack of concern for the poor, disabled and aged - is demonstrably false: The proposals are for a lower rate of growth, not for less money. Spending in absolute terms rises by more than $20 billion in the 1983 fiscal year. Mr. Herrings’s response is an interesting example of specious logic - plausible but wrong! “If we separate the social security budget from the rest of HHS’ activities,” he writes, we’d have a more accurate picture of the Administration’s plans. BUT the Social Security Administration is in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); its outlays are social; and all government spending “pays for itself’ via either social security taxes (IRS’ term, not mine) on employees and employers, other taxes, and borrowing. Does it really matter, does it make anything clearer, whether social security payments are or are not lumped with other social spending? All government outlays are in one way or another "fixed by law” and received by "beneficiaries” regardless of who is in the White House. Mr. Herring, noting that proposed defense appropriations increase more rapidly than proposed social spending, states that “...we can draw our own conclusions from these figures about where his priorities lay.” The intended implication: President Reagan's worry over America’s defense posture demonstrates his lack of concern for the poor, disabled and aged - a conclusion that simply does not follow! Spending priorities of governments and individuals change. One year more goes for housing, the next more for health. This does not mean that a person values one over- the other. It does suggest a change in circumstances, a new priority - because unfortunately no government, no person, can ever meet all needs or wants. Does Mr. Herring really mean that government, representing all the people, must never change its priorities? Every one has an opinion on America’s national obligations in the defense and social areas. Note that a large, bipartisan majority of the Congress agrees with the President that defense spending must increase and that spending for social programs must be brought under control - before recent unbridled growth in ‘‘entitlements" destroys our national economy. The debate centers on degree, on fine tuning at the margin. Mr. Reagan won election by a considerable margin on a platform promising to do precisely what he is proposing - over President Carter's different program. Would Mr. Herring have the President betray the electorate and his commitments? Mrs. Carney’s points are well taken and correct. Mr. Herring's effort to convince your readers to' the contrary, through the use of "red herrings” (with a small “h”, of course) fail, logically and factually. JOHN L. MAROCCHI Appreciation 1 o me eanor: I would like to express my thanks to all the girls and individuals who participated and helped out with the Miss Rappahannock Beauty pageant held on May 14 by the Sperrville Rescue Squad. 1 would also like to express my thanks to Julian Brown, Jody Wingfield and my wife for their special help. This activity, among others, is used to raise money for rescue squad expenses L.rescenu Resigns To the editor: Effective June 1, 1982, 1 have asked the Area Agency on Aging to reclassify me from site coordinator, a paid position I've held for 5Vi years, to unpaid volunteer. The relocation of the nutrition site to Trinity Church and the outpouring of help from more loca! people have made it possible for me to do what I have been considering since my husband retired and that i: to spend winters out of the county. But I’m going to be very visible at the nutrition site during the rest of the year, will continue my weekly grocery service and I plan oi being available to assist witl picnics and other activities From now on. I’ll be doinj just what I like to do. As I’ve stated before, m work at the senior citizei nutrition site has been hecti at times but nowhere wil anyone feel more loved an< appreciated than I have ii my years with this specia group of people. Over the years, my job ha brought me into contact wit other social workers ani elected officials in the county I have received cooperatio from all of them. I leave th job as site coordinator wit many friends and fe' enemies—or none, I hope. FAYE CRESCENT P.S. Total money collect© from my Fodderstack Run i $342. Thanks to all of yo who sponsored me on beha of. the senior citizens. which are encurrea throughout the year. Fund drive season is a very difficult time of year for the volunteer fire and rescue organizations. It is a time when members donate their own time and money in asking for the public’s support to help us survive. It is difficult for myself and others to go out and ask for donations, but it is neeaea for us to survive. Our volunteer work, which includes many hours of training, is an attempt to help and save others. Won’t you please help your own volunteer fire and rescue services? RICK JOHNSON Capt. Sperryville Rescue Squad Cannon Supported To the editor: One of the things I have found most satisfying in the attempt to have Jimmy Cannon named to the School Board is the bi-partisan effort. Those showing support for Mr. Cannon by carrying petitions and by signing them have included officers and long-time workers from both the local Republican and Democratic parties as well as independents. I am also gratified that four out of the six former members of the School Board who live in Stonewall Hawthorne District have signed the petition for Mr. Cannon. We have tried, in our petitioning, to limit our signers to registered voters who live in the district. The opposition has not tried to limit its list to registered voters or to residents of the district. The Board of Supervisors has an obligation when making the appointment to consider w hat the voters, who elect them, really want and what will ultimately benefit our children. 1 hope they will name Jimmy Cannon. SHARON KILPATRICK 382 Tested To the editor: ' I want to take this opi portunity to thank all > Rappahannock students and seniors who supported the ! recent visit of the Lions Sight and Hearing Screening Unit ' to our county, i We tested 226 young : people at the elementary 1 School, 62 at the high school, 1 and 77 at Wakefield. 1 Seventeen adults visited the 1 van at Trinity Episcopal Church in Washington. 5 Of those tested, 105 were 1 found to require further eye i examination, and 14 more needed advanced hearing 1 testing. Referrals are being e sent to the students through 1 school authorities. v Since early detection can avoid later difficulties, we I feel that our efforts will be i beneficial but only if all s parents will follow up and II take whatever corrective f action is recommcndwi by medical authorities. I also wish to thank the 12 members of the Rappahannock Lions Club and the four wives who donated their time to operate the screening equipment during these tests. R. A.

From Both BarrelsSam Wilson For Senate? By GEORGE BOWLES Rappahannock News Special Writer If the Democrats nominate Sam Wilson for the U. S. Senate, it could send Republican strategists back to the drawing boards in the planning for this fall’s general election campaign. And just who, yoir might ask, is Sam Wilson? Well, for starters, he is Lt. Gen. Samuel V. Wilson, U. S. Army retired,-of Rice. Among many other things, he is a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, former deputy to the director of the CIA, former U. S. military attache to Moscow, and former assistant commander of the famed 82nd Airborne Division. His military career goes back to 1942 when, at age 16, he enlisted in the Army. By the time he was 18 he had held every noncommissioned rank from private to first sergeant and was sent to Officer Candidate School. Then followed a procession of command and staff assignments of everincreasing responsibility. In 1943 he was a member of Merrill’s Marauders in the China-Burma-India Theater of Operations, and years later portrayed himself in a motion picture about that unit’s heroic exploits. Decoration*, Honor* He holds military decorations and academic honors which would require half a column to enumerate. He is totally fluent in Russian and German and speaks French. Italian and Portuguese. In 1977 he retired to his farm in Rice, where he was born 58 years ago. He is presently a lecturer at colleges and universities around the country, writes extensively and serves as a parttime Soviet affairs consultant to the government. Politically, he describes himself as a lifelong Democrat. An associate says he is a moderate who has a keen awareness of the social. political and economic problems facing the country, along with a recognition of the need to solve them with equity and fairness. Gen. Wilson told me he would be interested in running for the Senate only if he could see he would be able to make a contribution by serving there. The possibility of his candidacy surfaced early last week when, at about the same time, it was learned he would be the keynote speaker June 4 at the Democrats’ state convention in Roanoke. The latter brought an immediate protest from another Senate hopeful, state Sen. Douglas Wilder of Richmond. Back Room Politic* Sen. Wilder said it would be unfair for one of the candidates to make the keynote address because it would give him an advantage in winning delegate support. Sen. Wilder renewed his threat to run for the Senate as an independent, saying he smelled back room politics in the choice of Gen. Wilson to make the speech. Other Democrats were said to be upset by the plan for Gen. Wilson to deliver the keynote address. Some believed the honor should go to someone with a record of service in state politics. One incredulous Democrat called the whole Wilson bid absurd. Politically, of course, Wilson is all but totally unknown. For that reason, his nomination has to be considered a long shot at best. But if he should win the nomination, and his talents as a campaigner match his achievements in other fields, his Republican opposition could find itself with a major problem on its hands. Indeed, the entire theory of the GOP campaign would have to be restructured. Outgunning Trlble First District Congressman Paul Trible, the apparent GOP candidate, had relied heavily on his House Armed Services Committee experience to give him a decisive edge over any challenger in knowledge of foreign policy. But in a match-up against Gen. Wilson in this area of expertise. Rep. Trible would be hopelessly outgunned. In addition. the Republicans had counted on being able to tie almost any Democratic candidate, at least by association, to the dread liberal quartet of Kennedy, Carter, Mondale and Howell. But such an attempt with respect to a former combat general who has never been active in politics before would appear ludicrous. Still, for Gen. Wilson to win the nomination, he will have to capture the 1,751 delegates required and do it with his single keynote speech. This, needless to say, will take some doing. But if Sam Wilson clears the nomination hurdle, the race to the November finish line will be run over a course neither party had thought possible only a few short days ago. RAAC Opts For Arts By LAURIE YOUNG Rauoahannork Nrw» Special I filer The form that The Rappahannock Association for the Arts and the Community is to take was the topic of discussion at the RAAC Board meeting held Monday night. May 17, at the Washington Baptist Church Mrs. Joy Luke chaired the second board meeting for this newly formed organization. The purpose that the organization is to serve was among one of the main issues covered. The consensus that was reached was that the center should promote arts by serving the community and their “artistical” interests as well as finding a place where these functions can occur. Another topic up for • discussion was that of bylaws, incorporation (as a nonprofit organization) and constitution. No agreement was reached about the laws to be enacted nor was there a decision as to who would chair this committee. The next meeting will be devoted j mainly to discussing the laws and ottering changes. A plan will also be offered as to who will work on this committee and how the committee is to be formed. Members of RAAC’s Ways and Means Committee discussed their ideas as to the types of activities to be used as fund raisers in helping to establish this center. Nothing definite was done but by the next meeting some concrete plans will be drawn up and presented to the board. The next meeting is scheduled for 7:30 on Tuesday, June 1, in the auditorium of the old school (Carrigans Building). Two main topics will be discussed: the constitution and by-laws as well as future fund-raising events. The public is welcome to attend. +++'+ News is consumed around the clock.

No, according to a research report done recently by the Virginia Education Association and publicized in the Virginia School Boards Association’s April newsletter. Virginia ranked 29th among the 50 states and Washington. D.C.. with state and local governments collecting $85 per person in taxes. $118 less than the national average. Average personal income for Virginians in 1979 was $8,587, which was 98 percent of the national average and 24th for the nation.

Johnson’s Capture County’s Character And Heritage By ROBERT W. EASTHAM Hippahannori, >r*. Sprri.l « hlrr Rappahannock County, Va. History: Facts. Fiction, Foolishness and Fairfax Story. By Elisabeth B. and C. E. Johnson. Jr. Green Publishers. 440 pages $19.95 Rappahannock’s own Elisabeth and “Ned” Johnson have written an engaging book. The authors say that it is a history of Rappahannock County, Virginia, with a few lively stories thrown in and so it is. But their book is much more than that; it is really a love story. Certainly, between the lines, the reader can sense the unfolding of their long love affair with this people and this land. When one has finished the book one realizes that this amazing couple, in the 1 Building? •Paint i, •Lumber ,v .t •Millwork 1 vg •Hardware Complete One Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By Pass Warrenton 3471400 autumn years of their lives, has not only recorded the events of the past among the ridges and valleys of their beloved Rappahannock; they have managed to capture and fix for present readers (and those to come for many years into the future) the very character and heritage of a people. And they have done it with grace, understanding, and humor. The reader who expects to find skeletons from family and public chests dusted ofl for their examination will be disappointed. The authors do not explicitly deny that there have been some things done in Rappahannock past which ought not to have been done nor some things left undone which ought to have been done. But their tale is unswervingly positive. Their approach appears to be the reverse of Shakespeare’s for they seem to say, “let the good that men do live after them and the evil be interred with their bones.” But the omission of scandal and negative gossip from their book is not due to the Johnsons’ inability to write accurate history. It is rather, I believe, a conscious desire to emphasize the laudable attributes of a people who could, over a 250 year span of time, hold fast against both natural and man-made disasters and still joke about them; live fruitful lives amidst war and peace; and pour out their sweat day after day as the years rolled by and not whimper, because they sweated for themselves and their children.

There is no clear cut answer to this question It moleskin pads are placed on a normal individual (a non-diabetic without overly sensitive skin) and it makes their feet more comfortable there is no harm The only possible consequence can be masking of a minor problem until it becomes a major one If. however, diabetic patient uses a corn pad that has a caustic chemical and his diabetes is not under good medical control the results can ultimately be catastrophic Infection, toss of limb, etc is not entirely out of the question Lastly, pads on any individual should not be left on for more than a few days at any time because the skin can build up a sensitivity to the pad A public service with the aim of promoting a better foot health environment. From the office of Dr Bruce Vogel, Certified by the American Board of Podiatrtc Surgery, 85 Garrett Street, Warrenton, Va. 347-9393 And Mr. and Mrs. Johnson do make these ancestors of ours come alive in their pages! These figures of the past are made real to use when we read how they formed the County from mother Culpeper; set down their towns (some of which now but vague memories or forgotten); built their roads; established their churches ad dictated by their consciences and faith; cultivated the land; slowly but steadily built up a system of public education; harnessed the energy of their rivers and streams; amused themselves without radio, TV, or electronic games; and, lastly, if more grimly, did their duty in all the wars of our State and Nation and did it gallantly, despite their natural shock on encountering. the gore and the cannon’s roar, being farm boys accustomed only to the sweet pleasures of a peaceful countryside. This book will be a basic source of information on Rappahannock County for those of us who love this land and for future scholars and historians. While the authors have cautioned at the beginning of the book that it is not to be considered a "textbook”, our county school children would surely gain an invaluable knowledge of their heritage by reading it and, specifically, I would suggest a reprint of the first chapter “The Fairfax Story” for the students in our county schools. There are some small things about this book which one could criticize such as an incomplete listing or two of past office holders and the omission of a name or two among county veterans, but this would be nitpicking indeed. The reader tempted to criticize such details must weigh in favor of exercising patience the enormous amount of tireless research this book represents. The organization of the volume by subject chapters is well done and one can easily pick and choose among them for a subject of interest. Elisabeth and Ned Johnson are the first to write a complete history of the county (not overlooking the delightful story book published by Mary Elizabeth Hite 30 years ago). This priority now rests within the Johnsons forever. They have related to the people of Rappahannock - and to people beyond our borders - the story of our past and, in doing so, they have challenged us to “make your future worthy of your past”. —Rappahannock News Photo/D.

Bookshop Provides Many Services B> THKRKSA RK\ 1NOI.OS Ha|>|>nhnnnork Nrn* Staff W ritrr When Nan Hathaway was 1 asked to give a talk recently i on her Royal Oak Bookshop, the theme of her talk was “it won’t work.” Nan has been operating her business in Front Royal since 1975, and all the advice she received both before and since her opening convinced her that a bookshop could not survive in the town. Nevertheless, Nan spent months gathering information, planning sidelines that would help round out the business and making use of offers of free labor until she finally closed her eyes and took the plunge. Her experience in establishing and running a successful small business in times when even guaranteed businesses fail to make money may interest other local small businessmen as well as those who love books and are glad someone was determined enough to make a bookshop work. Nan began by doing her homework: she wrote letters, read books, talked to booksellers and hounded the American Booksellers Association. They responded by deluging her with material on setting up a book-selling business. This is where Nan learned that her shop could not work. There were many reasons: profits are tiny; a larger population than Front Royal is needed; paperwork is tedious and time-consuming. Nan intended to counteract some of these difficulties by finding the type of location recommended by the Association. Nan read in the manual, "The single most important factor in choosing a location is foot traffic,” Nan says, "Where is there substantial foot traffic in the town of Front Royal? There is no significant foot traffic in Front Royal. No one walks along the streets of Front Royal." i So she had to disregard this important advice and instead pick a location where rents were reasonable—on South Royal Avenue. By doing so she violated another important principle: (from the manual) “There should be easy access to nearby parking.” Those familiar with Nan's shop know that there is room for one average or two tiny cars in front of her shop. She says, "If all my customers drove Volkswagen bugs, I could handle three at a time.” So, with no foot traffic and no parking, she opened. A group of friends, fueled by beer and pizza, painted, cleaned and remodeled the cheerful building that became the original store. Another friend designed the logo, garden and sign. She’s expanded since then, adding an adjoining room that now houses her used book collection. Like many local shopkeepers. Nan has survived by trying everything. She's cut her losses by eliminating sections that don't sell and stocking those that do. What sells rapidly in a bookshop serving a basically rural population? “how-to books, plain living books, religious, Virginia history, and cookbooks. Not selling very well are poetry, art and photography books - expensive books designed for display as well as reading.” Nan also eliminated her original large selection of magazines and used some of the space for unusual gifts, imported objects, museum reproductions and crafts. Each year she has expanded more, offering a diversity of services that have helped her survive. The Royal Oak Bookshop offers a title search service that enables customers to choose from the thousands of books previously in print as well as current titles. This works through several distributors and a computerized catalog. "Don't Tolerate, Let Dodson Exterminate" KNOW YOUR TERMITES!

This is done through notices that Nan places in an international weeklj magazine. “W<_ either get several responses or none," Nan said. “But we can usually find almost any title if a customer will give us enough time." Nan also offers a mailorder program, both through the catalog that she prints at Christmas time and through ads places in out-of-town publications. Like other local businesses. Nan makes up for Royal Oak’s smallness by offering personal, prompt service. Her used book department, started in 1981, is now well-established and offers thousands of titles at reduced prices. New this year also are her bookshop seminars, small group courses offered right in the shop. So far she’s had two seminars on short stories conducted by Bentonville writer Christine Andreae, and one on drama by Rappahannock resident Diana Bird. Providing all these services has helped the bookshop work, but the demands' on time and energy are enormous. “It’s hard to explain to someone who’s not in the same business.’’ Nan said. “You would have to love it to' do it.” And there are rewards: “For me, it’s getting the right person and the right book together. “Sometimes a little kid will come in here for weeks to look through a book he loves. Then, one day, he’ll come in and empty his change on the counter. Then I know that it’s worth it.” Rappahannock New* Photo/T. Reynold* OWNING A BOOKSHOP is no easy matter these days with inflation eating away the small profit made on each sale. Nan Hathaway, proprietess of Royal Oak Bookshop in Front Royal, has expanded her business over its seven years of existence by offering title search and out-of-print search service, buying and selling used books and giving prompt, personal attention to mail orders. Park Camping Fees Increased The 1982 campground fee ' for Shenandoah National Park will be $5.00 per she, per night. Big Meadows Campground is open now with Mathews Arm and Loft Mountain Campgrounds to open May 7, and Lewis Mountain Campground to open May 21. “This increase is the first for camping since 1979, and is a result of a study conducted of campgrounds around the Park in late 1981,” Superintendent Robert Jacobsen stated. “We want our fees to be comparable to those charged in the vicinity of the Park." The Big Meadows Campground will be one of the campgrounds in seven national parks on a reservation system.

Dentist Office Opens In Town By LORRIE YOUNG R*PP*h*nnock SprW.I Writer Dr. W. Neal Mayberry, of Luray, will be opening a dental office in Washington in the basement of the Miller building, the town’s former post office. Service will commence on Thursday, June 3, and Dr. Mayberry will see patients each Thursday afterward. As his practice increases, he plans to add Saturday as an additional office day. A relative newcomer to the area. Dr. Mayberry was raised on the Eastern Shore. Following graduation from the University of Delaware, he lived in Germany for three of the four years that he was in the army. After leaving the army, he went to dental school at Medical College of Virginia (MCV) in Richmond where he received his DDS. Since that time he has operated a dental practice from his combination home and office in Luray. His reasons for coming to Rappahannock are numerous, not the least of which is that there is no I The I | Green Machine i jH i model 3000 | X DR. W. NEAL MAYBERRY dentist in the county. He teels that it will be enough to start with one day. “Other dentists attempted to set up here but there doesn’t seem to be quite enough need for five days a week, he noted. This is one reason Dr. Mayberry feels that previous dentists were not successful. There is a definite need but that definite need is limited as well, he said. Dr. Mayberry's other reasons for deciding upon Washington include the size of the community. He feels that a small community, such as this, is an asset because he will come to know people and be known by others. He is fond of the town and has considered moving to Washington, describing it as a “quaint town." The Washington area is also conducive to his favorite hobby, fishing. The dentist said that he "likes fishing, lots of fishing.” He also apparently likes children as he and his wife Elaine have three. The oldest child. Jamie, six, is in the first grade. The other two are pre-schoolers: Jennie, three, and Jeffrie l'/i. Dr. Mayberry encourages people to call his ofTice in Luray for appointments at any time or to call here on Thursdays once his practice has opened. The number in Luray is 0-743-4810 (call collect). Dr. Mayberry said that he i is really looking forward to opening his practice next month and to getting to know the people of Rappahannock. +4-++ Beyond its basic function of informing consumers, advertising in this country performs a valuable public service—it helps pay the cost of a vital and free press.

Structures and uses which lawfully existed before adoption of the proposed revisions will be allowed to continue as non-conforming under the new regulations but expansion or enlargement may not adversely effect flood heights.

In addition, uses which are or become nuisances will not be permitted to continue. Following the planning commission’s work sessions, the flood plain regulations and other proposed ordinance amendments presented to the commissioners over the past year and outlined in previous News articles will be advertized for public hearing and then forwarded with recommendations to the board of supervisors who must also hold a public hearing before adoption. In other action, the commissioners voted to hold a public hearing at their June 16 meeting on a rezoning request from Luther Payne for the tract of land where Payne’s Garage is located. A public hearing on the request from Robert and Ruth Bowers to add rifle ranges to uses allowed with special permit in an agricultural zo.ie was set for the same date. •t FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE INCOWPOWATtO HORSE SALE 2nd Sat., 1 p.m., Evry Month STATE GRADE FAT CATTLE 1st Tues. 1 p.m. Every Month 1 Mile East of Marshall Rt. 55 PHONE 364-1566 OLD-FASHIONED FINANCING Available on this 4 bedroom 3 bath rambler in private 5.2 acre setting of dogwood, azaleas, lilac, holly, giant rhododendron plus forest to supply wood for family room stove.
