SUIT Writer The Rappahannock County School Board was hard at work until nearly midnight Tuesday and has most of its budget review behind it. “The real nitty gritty” of the evening was also how Bill Oliver phrased the reasoning behind his index salary proposal. The new plan he brought to the School Board would be easier to sell to the Board of Supervisors, he said; and he did not want to see an index salary scale for teachers fail again. As Superintendent Robert Estabrook put it, “Enough is enough. I think we need an index now.” Oliver’s proposal was to adopt a three percent index step for each year of teaching experience with Rappahannock schools through 14 years. For years 16-19 three percent would be added; for 29-24, four percent and at 25 an additional four percent. The plan was amended to include a four percent step at the fifth year as well. Past figures had shown more teachers leaving the system at that point in their careers, according to the board. A motion by Randall Updike to approve the index figures as amended was unanimously approved. Bill Oliver and Nancy Reeve both pointed out that this set of index steps could be reviewed in future years if inequities were later discovered or if a turnover problem was seen at certain steps. The two board members were responding to objections voiced by Rappahannock County Education Association (RCEA) spokesman Richard Smith. Teachers Object While Smith said the teachers appreciated the board’s attempt to index, he contended that Oliver’s proposal was not a career ladder since it offered a three percent step each year without lifting it to four percent at “critical career points.” The school officials should reward those who stay, rather than “worrying about recruiting phantom teachers” Smith said. “This system doesn’t reward them until they’ve been here for 20 years,” he added. School Board Chairman Beverly Massie suggested it wasn’t fair for the handful of teachers present at the meeting to say they were speaking for the entire association. Smith responded that he and other RCEA officers present had the association’s endorsement of the superintendent’s proposal. Estabrook’s plan included additional four percent increments at five years, seven, nine, and 12 as well as for the two top ranges. “We’d just like to stress that we can’t support these figures,” Smith told the board. However, the School Board felt the Oliver proposal would be easier to sell to the Supervisors in April. Salaries Not Set The actual amount of teacher salaries was tabled until next Tuesday’s final budget work session. The board asked Estabrook to submit several sets of possible figures so they could set a “bottom line”. They would then let the index distribute the amount of money to be budgeted for salaries. One set of figures will add zero to the base (the 1983-84 first year teacher salary of $12,463) simply to find out how much the buyin cost of the index steps would be. Other sets will add 6Vi percent, 7 Vi percent and 8 Vi percent to this year’s total teacher salary allotment. The board can then see how various budgeted amounts would be distributed under the index. (Continued on Page 18) Drama Teacher Critiques Stage Plans When the curtain rose on plana for the high school renovation, two weeks ago, high school drama teacher Don Bomberger had two questions for the architect: the size of the theater’s seating and whether there would be a slant floor. The architects described an auditorium with a flat floor, fixed seating and a capacity of 240. At last week’s school budget hearing, Bomberger was ready with rehearsed remarks. He offered a list of eight specific concerns which he asked the School Board to consider before proceeding with the project. The perfect setting for producing a high school play, Bomberger said, would include: —A raked floor. People seated near the back of the auditorium now have a probt lem seeing over the heads of the rest of the audience, Bomberger noted. A raked floor makes it easy to see the stage from anywhere in the room. —Permanent seating. It now takes “an inordinate amount of time” to put up chairs before a play or assembly, according to Bomberger. This means the auditorium is not used as often as it might be if it weren’t so time consuming to get it ready. Bomberger carefully noted that he was not opposed to a form of “convertible seating” that would allow use of the same area for a study hall or music classroom but the seats should definitely be attached. The only exception, he suggested, might be a detachable section in an orchestra pit area; the chairs could be moved out to make way for musicians as needed. —Clouds. It is possible to scatter acoustical “clouds” over the ceiling to stop the sound from bouncing, according to Bomberger. In the present gymnasium/auditorium the sound just keeps moving, he said. This poses projection problems for the actors. While he was on the subject on ceilings, Bomberger recommended that the ceiling be painted flat black to absorb extraneous light rays. This is customary in theaters for ease in designing lighting effects. —Catwalk. Bomberger pointed out that he now personally climbs scaffolding to move and adjust lights. If there were a catwalk, he could allow students to help, he said. The entire process £ of setting the lights would then be less time consuming. —Spot site. The architects had proposed building a balcony over the top of the present gym. This would overlook the auditorium and allow space for a follow spot or movie projector. It would also be an area from which teachers could supervise the students below. Bomberger said that a second floor balcony would not be high enough for a follow spot. A raised platform would need to be added in order to allow for the proper adjustment of the lighting instruments. —Wing space. It would be ideal if the stage width could include adjoining classrooms, Bomberger said. Then large props could be moved into another room during the run of a show. (Continued on Page 18) Old Line Republicans Turn Out To Block Farley Coup By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON *^l«hMU«oek N«wi 8U1T Writer “That’s religion!” remarked an onlooker at Tuesday’s Republican mass meeting as the 100 or so supi porters packed in the high i school gymnasium burst into hearty applause when their candidate, Guy 0. Farley, ' strode to the speakers’ | seats. j In all, around 300 partisans showed up for the mass • meeting. They began assem\ bling at the courthouse an hour before the announced 8 r p.m. starting time for the j session to select delegates to • the district nominating conventions. “I got here at 7:30 s and there must have been 1 100 waiting already,” said :} Rappahannock’s Republican ■ Committee treasurer, Paul ? Franz, who had the unevia| ble task of registering the - participants. t ' 4* ' After it became apparent that the crowd couldn’t W squeezed into the upstairs courtroom, even with a shoe horn, Committee chairman Jesse Pond called the meeting to order and then recessed for 15 minutes tc move the masses to the high school gym. “We had less than a dozen - 11 to be exact (at Rappahannock’s last Republican mass meeting),” he reported. Farley was the reason behind Tuesday’s groundswell. The Warrenton attorney, a born again Christian and political ally of fundamentalist preacher and Moral Majority leader Jerry Falwell, has been visiting churches in Rappahannock over the past several weeks, making a pitch for support. His success was evident in the white on blue “Farley for Congress” stickers sported by his fans. But it was just as evident that the old line Rappahannock Republicans had gotten word of the attempted coup aimed at stacking the county delegation withFarley’s backers. And the vote for the familiar names on the slate of delegates proposed by the nominating committee of Paul Franz, Maurice Herndon and John Marocchi showed that old Republicans still outnumbered newcomers. Although the delegates will officially go uncommitted to the convention, a quick survey showed most leaning strongly towards French Slaughter, Culpeper attorney and 20 year veteran of Virginia’s General Assembly, the only candiate to win a round of applause > louder than Farley’s. After the six Republican candidates - Slaighter, Farley, Jim Hobgood, Paul Me Donald, A.G. Goldenthall and Bill Frazier - made their presentations, Marocchi announced the slate of delegates proposed by the nominating committee, He drew an understanding chuckle from at least part of the crowd when he said, in explaining why the same names kept popping up:“Before tonight, we’ve had somewhat of a dearth of interested Republicans willing to help.” On the slate were Paul Franz, Josephine Franz, David Konick, Chris Parrish, Edith Pond, Jesse Pond, Maurice Herndon and John Marocchi. Alternates included veteran Republican activists Majorie Exton and Jule Konick and newcomers to the ranks of the party, Rev. Lindsay Savage, Rev. Milton Switzer, John Jenkins, Gary Whorton, Martin Whorton and Roy Whorton.

Spend more for; better schools was the general sentiment exV again nature of the March! . School Board meeting, 22 were present in the audience for the budget hearing. (When snow caused school to be closed, the School Board meeting was postponed. However, the day wanned up sufficiently by mid-afternoon so the meeting could be held as originally planned.) First to address the board was Nancy Schoppet, Boosters Club president. Hie organization’s members had seen plans for die RCHS renovation at its Monday meeting, said Schoppet, and were “all excited about it.” The school needs more space, she said. Schoppet said the Boosters highly recommend the capital outlay portion of the 1964-85 budget to allow final plans to be drawn. Estabrook will request 863,534 for the 84-86 year to pay 80 percent of the architect’s fees on the renovation. Now estimated to cost $836,475, the expansion is projected for completion w during the 1986-87 school year. R would, be financed through a state literary loan to be repaid in installments through the debt sendee portion of future budgets, according to Estabrook. The Boosters especially endorsed inclusion in the plans of the new gym, a larger cateteria, a scienceAmth lab, an., area where students could go to lie'down if they weren’t feeling well “and many other things” Schoppet said. Teachers Pleased Rappahannock County Education Association (RCEA) president Scarlett Dyer told the School Board that teachers support the superintendent’s proposed salary index. They urged the board to approve it as presented with “no ftirther tampering with the figures,” Dyer said. However, the teacher said her colleagues were “disappointed” that the superintendent was not offering the same RCEA index “which he so strongly supported last year.” Both indexes began and ended with the same figures, Dyer said. The teachers saw no reason to change what they felt were logical figures last year. The teachers supported the proposed allotment for an additional math teacher at the high school. They also repeated an ongoing request . for an art'teacher at the elementary school. There is presently no organized art program. Each teacher is responsible — and there is no known art degree at the elementary school,"she said. Dyer asked that “a totally duty free” lunch be implemented for all high school teacheps. • Finally, the teachara praised the School Board fir its prompt response in dealing with roof repairs at the elementary school and for the proposed building program at the high school. “The figures seem very reasonable and should be acted upon while the project is so affordable,” she said of the renovation. Index For Teachers Only Also representing the RCEA, teacher Richard Smith objected to creation of a salary index for administrators. Estabrook had proposed establishing an index for the special services coordinator, principals and assistant principals. The teachers support an index as a career ladder designed to reward years of service, Smith explained. This would not be the case for the five administrators involved, Smith contended, since they were to be paid by position rather than according to the number of years they had served with the school system. RCEA suggested tabling the administrators’ index and applying a seven percent across the board increase for them, Smith said. Quality Education Spokesmen Rappahannock Citizens for Quality Education (RCQE) president Barney O'Meara reminded the" school board of the petition ' his group circulated last fall. Approximately 400 area citizens signed their endorsement for $191,500 educational improvements, an approximate tax rate increase of nine cents. The superintendent’s proposal addressed several spedfic items listed on that petition and so met with the group’s approval, O’Meara said. In particular, the citizens support extra duty pay “very strongly” as well as establishing a teachers’ salary index scale, according to O’Meara. He also pointed with approval to plans for the high school renovation and inclusion of an additional math teacher at the high school and urged they work towards a better gifted and talented program and action on improved handicapped access facilities in the school buildings. “The budget is very good as far as it goes,” O’Meara had said as he opened his re(Continued on Page 18) ‘Where Vm Cornin' From* Explores The Teenage World Where I m Coinin’ From," a musical journey into the hearts and minds of young people, will be per- a formed Friday and Saturday evenings, March 30 and ^ 31, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, April 1, at 7 p.m. at the Gay 1 Street Theater in Washington.

Muckraking Reporter Alledges Superpowers Are Playing Games By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON «*P*l<an»ocfcN«w* Staff Writer Ron McRae could ruin the image of muckrakers. Apple cheeked and cherubic, he looks like he puts a smile on in the morning before he has the first cup of coffee. He laughs easily, meets people even more easily. Investigative reporter? Maybe. He certainly has a talent for drawing strangers into conversation. Hard boiled? Definitely not. Soft boiled would be the better adjective. McRae may describe himself as a lone wolf but lone teddy bear is a more fitting description. He just doesn’t look like the stereotype of the hard charging, hard shelled, lean and hungry journalistic detective who makes his living ferreting out secrets and exposing the dirty laundry of governments and government officials. But that’s exactly what he was. As a senior associate of syndicated columnist Jack Anderson, he stood near the top of the muckraker’s heirarohy, recognized by ranking government officials, members of Congress and world leaders. “But my contacts spoke to me in spite of the fact that I worked for Jack Anderson, not because of if,” he maintained. Threatened With Court Martial McRae sailed into investigative reporting on a Navy scandal. “I was the legal office^ for the Navy Recruit Training Command from 1975 to 1977 when the Marbles were having all those prbblems with recruits dying,” he recalled. “I was put Ron McRae in charge of the Navy’s investigation and I got into a big flap with the command. We’d had two deaths.” According McRae, the deaths were due to mistreatment. “I didn’t think they were doing enough to find out what really happened, bo I wrote my Congressman and told him.” The response was a court martial—McRae’s. “I made the CBS Evening News. Walter Cronkite did a piece on me. He said I was going to jail for ten years for stealing Navy records!” McRae wasn’t jailed. Instead the Navy dropped charges. He was given an honorable discharge and with his top secret clearance still intact, began work on clfssified studies for a private business that handled government contracts. Jack Anderson had written a column about McRae’s case. “That established a contact with one of Ander PARTIES-AROCJND > > Do yooen|oypairs’: YesG NoQ S.

But eventually, I decided I could do a better job of writing.” McRae arranged to meet Anderson and offered to work for him. He was turned down. Then he volunteered to write for free. After a five month trial period, he was hired by the syndicated columnist. ‘They called me the leak who came in from the cold!” And he nosed out the hot trails. According to McRae, he was the first to report on the Cyrus Vance-Zbigniew Brzezmski split. He predicted the bombing of the Iraqi reactor 11 months before it happened and reported the basic components of Reagan’s Middle East peace plan seven months before that information was officially released by the president. Accused Of Everything Although the power brokers and aspiring power brokers confided in him, Ron McRae was not a popular man. “When you work for Jack Anderson, you get accused of everything.

Diana Bird of Washington and Pearl Clarke from Amissville were elected alternate delegates. The delegation will go uncommitted to any candidate because the possible candidates were still tinknown. The deadline for filing as a candidate is the middle of April. The incumbent Congressman, J. Kenneth Robinson, a Republican, is retiring at the end of this term. Lee Bird, County Democratic chairman, announced that a number of persons had filed as delegate to the Democratic State Convention in Norfolk, where presidential convention delegates will be selected May 18-19. • appliances are our only business • we offer major lines • we stock an inventory of parts for our major lines • our service department is second to none • we offer trade-ins • set up and delivery are free • prices are competitive • 30 day cash or reasonable credit terms are available Come see us. .

Rather, it was the chance to make more than the $12,000 to $16,000 Anderson pays his staff. “They called me the leak who came in from the cold!” — Ron McRae He wrote frequently on military matters. “I subscribed to all the military magazines. One had a cover story on psychic warfare and the battlefields of the mind entitled ‘Beam Me Up Spock.’ I wrote two columns on it and the response was incredible. Discover Magazine asked me for a story on it. They flew me up to New York to deliver the article and paid me $2,000 for what basically amounted to a half hour rewrite. “It immediately occurred to me that there was a lot of public interest in psychic warfare and that interest translated to money,” McRae said. He sold his idea for a book on the subject to a publisher and began research, devoting spare hours not taken up by digging for information for Anderson’s columns. “After a year, I had one chapter done of the 14 I’d planned to have finished. There just wasn’t; time for me to do bot write a book and write Jack Anderson so I signed. Then I got in the and drove west until I saw !??T fewer houses than trees, stopped at a realtor’s and said find me a house suitable for a writer.

The author of Mind Wars has been interviewed on Good Morning America, Nightline, Charlie Rose’s show and National Public Radio’s All Things Considered. Discussions of the book have also been broadcast over the airwaves in Australia, Japan and Canada. According to McRae, Mind Wars will be serialized in Omni Magazine and in May, US Magazine is scheduled to do a personality profile on him. With some pride, the author maintains that other media organizations are only waiting for its March 21 release date waiting to turn the spotlight on his book. Confused Reaction The New York Times is one publication that didn’t wait. It highlighed McRae’s book in early January in a story headlined “Pentagon Is Said To Focus On ESP For Wartime Use.” The article is also an example of what the author describes as the “confused reaction” to his book.

Walk-A-Thon Planned For Cystic Fibrosis / I Plans are now underway for a Cystic Fibrosis WalkA-Thon on Saturday, April 28, according to organizer Jinnie Beattie. Participants — young, old and inbetween - will gather at the Rappahannock County Park across the highway from the town of Washington at 10 p.m. for a walk around the exercise trail, through the town and back around the trail. They will gather pledges from individuals and businesses in the community to contribute so many dollars and cents to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for every mile walked. Following the walk, refresh ments will be served to volunteers at the park’s pavOlion. * The Foundation supports scientists in their work to discover a cure or control for cystic fibrosis. Although improvements in treatment have dramatically increased survival age from about five years to 20 today, cystic fibrosis still .kills more children each year than any other inherited disease. Scientists still do not know what causes cystic fibrosis nor can they test to see who the approximately 20 million carriers of the cystic fibrosis gene may be.

The Times also cites the Pentagon’s denial that it is spending money on psychic research. But the paper then notes that Lt. Gen. Danial 0. Graham, former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, acknowledged in an interview that the military had spent “considerable sums” on psychic research (although less than the $6 million annually that McRae says was expanded). According to the Times, what emerges from McRae’s book and two others recently published on the same topic is “a picture of both superpowers trying to master such esoteric arts as ESP (extrasensory perception), telepathy (thought transfer), clairvoyance (seeing things that are out of sight) and psychokinesis (mental influence over objects or events)—all in the name of the national defense.” And what does McRae think? He believes that the government fears there may be something to this mental warfare and if the U.S. doesn’t learn to control psychic weapons first, then the soviets may get the upper hand. But as to whether these mental powers actually exist in anyone—American or Russian—he isn’t so sure. “I started out as a hardline skeptic. In fact, I wasn’t even very interested in the subject.

I became convinced about halfway through that there is something to psychic power,” he admitted. Disinformation Once the furor over Mind Wan dies away, McRae plans a second, even more sensational book, this one on disinformation, “attempts by security agencies—particularly the U.S., Soviet and Israeli—to plant false stories in the press.” “It’s a subject I’m professionally and personally interested in. I think a certain percentage of false stories that appear in the media are deliberately planted,” McRae said. “I expect the book will get a lot of attention. I think it will be pretty spectacular,” he added, dropping just one of the hot items he plans to include. Walter Cronldte’s last story. The final story on his final television news broadcast The basis for it was false. He quoted from a document that was a forgery,” McRae maintained. And how does the ex-Anderson associate know the document was a forgery? Because he says be was the forger. Asked why he picks such controversial topics for Ids writing, why he’d embarass the newscaster most viewers see as a grandfather figure, why he called Menachem Begin a warmonger at the same time that the Isreali leader was being presented with the Nobel Peace Prize, McRae has an explanation. “I’m a natural lone wolf. I automatically take the opposite position from the nu^ority. It’s a natural impulse with me. A couple of times I’ve been lucky—popular wisdom has been wrong.” McRae intends to drop his lone wolf stance with his third book, an autobiography tentatively entitled “Memoirs of a Closet Optimist.” Then if his fiind of experience isn’t exhausted, he’ll tackle fiction. After that, he foresees another career switch. He’d like to branch out even now while he’s still writirfg, ‘Three hours a day of creative work is the most I can do. I have too much time On my hands and I need to fill it. Teaching writing would be a good way. I like working with kids and teaching is good for a writer because it reminds you of the basics. But the problem with teaching is that I’m not certified. “So maybe I’ll run for mayor,” McRae continued. (Of what town, he didn’t say.) “Or maybe I’ll become a paleontologist. I’d like to be a doctor but that takes too long,” he added, grinning. With his first literary foray so successful, why not be a writer for the rest of his life? “I’d got too bored,” McRae said. “I’d bore everyone else. And that’s worse.” (Amisgrille resident Ron McRae’t book, Mind Wan, published by St. Martin’s Press, is currently available at Crown Books in Manassas.)

They were ready to be right when the Vermont returns came in. The reasons given for the former vice president’s losses are many and cover almost the whole range of factors bearing on political decisions. As Edmund Burke observed in the 18th century, the number of factors that do bear on political decision are infinite and therefore the number of possible decisions is infinite. The weather in New Hampshire was not good. This condition, some experts say, may have kept older voters who were expected to vote strongly few Mondale away from the poles. Mondale left the state a day or two before the primary election - an offensive act in the mind of some New Hampshire voters, some poet-elections observers suspect. “Senator Hart reminded the New Hampshire Democrats of John Kennedy" wa$, the conclusion of others. Heavier thinkers saw the results as indicating a cultural schism between older citizens and younger ones, the line falling somewhere between 47 and 57, roughly. This line has now been labeled the age slash and may be with us as a factor in American politics, at least through a few more primaries. Some language experts say that the difference in the campaign was principally one of adjectives. The former Vice President repeatedly said that he was “real” Poet, author, former United States Senator from Minnesota and candidate for the presidency, Eugene McCarthy noic lives in Hawlin Hollow, Woodville. — a “real Democrat” as distinguished from other Democratic presidential candidates, particularly Senator John Glenn. Whether Glenn was to be considered as “unreal” or “counterfeit” or “synthetic,” Mondale did not say. The former vice president then stressed that he was “ready,” principally because of his experience in and around the White House. To underline this point, he had said early in the campaign that he knew where the telephone used to comm (p^ca to?, fas emergencies with** th#* head of the Russian govern- < ment actually was. This was < before the break-up of A.T.4T. All may be changed now.Other candidates may well challenge Mondale’s claim to special advantage of this point Hart on his part said that Mondale’s ideas were “old” and past their prime, whereas he was forward looking, for change, with “new” ideas. Adjestival variants of large or big and small also figured in the campaign. Mondale seemed to favor a large air-craft carrier, possi Ny an MX missile. (This position he said he had taken only in support of Pres. Carter in his role of supportive vice president). Hart was for the midget-man missile and for two small carriers, rather than one large one. Hart also said that he was against the political use of the power of “big” labor. The nouns used by both contestants were essentially the same. The differences were principally in their adjectives. The campaign may continue in this mood and be essentially a battle of adjectives if the linguistic interpretation proves valid. Meanwhile, the public has been informed that the Mondale campaign is being re-thought. Possibly “resmelled” might be a better description of what is taking place or at least of a part of the re-examination. For olfactory tests or judgments or indications of such judgments have been noted in nitoeroOB Mondale statements. Speaking in New Hampshire in February of 1980 in behalf of the Carter-Mondale ticket, the then vice president asserted, “I smell . Victory in this room.” .jfyain early in this year’s Mnmjpign, the loifner vicepresident noted - that he ^■mailed victory, ” even if he had not yet tasted it. Most recently on March 2, he was quoted in the Washington Post as saying “There seeped into my campaign and maybe in my own mind, a front runner, inevitability, psychology that people smelled.” This, amid the other odors of spring, may be the compelling testing method of this year’s campaign for the Democratic nomination. The Hart supporters have not yet given a public report of what they smell. This Was The News In Bygone Rappahannock Times... 20 YEARS AGO RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS ON THE SECOND DAY of spring, Rappahannockers were “dreaming of a White Easter.” Ricky Bywatero of Amissville was pictured playing in the snow on a Saturday morning in March, 1964. The nearby jonquils were bursting into bloom. Springtime was also considered to be brush and woods fire time. The Sperryville Fire Company was ready for the season. Pictured in front of u new 1,000 gallon water tank truck were John Eubank, Bobby Wilson Atkins and Bob Estes. Contractors were laying a ditch through AmiasviDe for new telephone cable for that exchange. Some of the overhead wires were to be removed. CAP branch manager Mr. Lindsay promised a result of “better, more efficient service” for West exchange subscribers. Thirteen Rappahannock men attending a special meeting at the Hampton Inn voted to start a county Jaycee Chapter. They elected T.C.

More than 160 county children had received dental examinations through a recently held clinic for indigent students.

Rappahannock Republican Chairman Morgan T. Johnston presided over a meeting at the home of J.E.B. Dahlgren. The purpose of the meeting was not reported. Approximately 300 people had attended the senior class variety show at the high school. It was reported that the students had realized some $175 for their class trip to New York. The show was directed by Mrs. Bradley Williams of Chester Gap. In its report of condition, the Rappahannock National Bank of Washington reported total assets of $1,653,687.67 and total liabilties of $1,489,488.48.

The race for the Democratic nomination now seems to be between Walter Mondale and Gary Hart. There are important distinctions between the two. Mondale is running on a solid record of accomplishment. Too many voters, tuning in to 30-second TV news > spots, find this boring and "old.’',Hart is running on a carefully-crafted TV image, which viewers seem to find exciting and “new.” This re-! sponse is perhaps understandable, but it ignores the central question: which candidate, based on his perform niance, is best qualified to offer a contractive "alternative to the ra&d poSfe* the Reagan Adminfetratiofi? Mondale offers a clear al- ' tentative to Reagan’s dangerous defense program and his short-sighted economic policies. He realizes that true security depends upon international . cooperation and economic well-being. In contrast, Hart voted, for example, in support of Reagan’s senseless MX missile program and against the tax on windfall ofl profits. In terms of quality of leadership, Mondale offers an alternative to Reagan’s practice of addressing complex issues with slogans and one-liners. Mondale has faced the issues of the campaign substantively and directly. His opponent, like Reagan, depends almost entirely on “charisma” and media appeal. > Mondale has been mislabelled a “special interest” candidate. This is because he stands now - as he has always stood - on the side of wage-earners, teachers, women, environmentalists and threatened minorities. He believes, as has the Democratic Party tradition' ally, that these interests are ; consistent' with legitimate 4 national interests. Hart, who often cites his “independence,” is the candidate who accepted a $5,000 contribu tion from an asbestos producer, then worked to reduce compensation paid by companies to workers suffering from asbestos poisoning. He also accepted $10,000 from oil and gas companies, then voted against increased taxes on their profits. Mondale’s consistent record clearly demonstrates that he is a man of responsibility and commitment. With him, as he has said, what you see is what you get. Hart’s sporadic record suggests that with him, what you hear today may or may not be what you get tomorrow. I do not endorse the frequently heard, divisive term “Airheads for Hart”; but I would like to cast a vote for more substance and less “image.” We have all learned from Reagan that sloganeering solves no probJAMES MARSHALL Washington lems._,We can learn f work, honesty and le ership 4p solvdprpblems., Ruritans Serve Community To the editor The AmisaviUe Ruritan Club would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Luther Stuart, the county’s Board of Supervisors and the Amissville community for making possible the recent land gift to the Ruritans. Due to the publicity this transaction has received, we have found that many in the reading audience were unaware of the Ruritan organization and its activities. Therefore, for their benefit, the following summary should prove helpftil. Ruritan is a national organization which declares five basic objectives: 1. To promote among its members fellowship and goodwill. 2. To unify the efforts of individuals and institutions in the community in making it a better place in which to live. 3. To promote those agencies in the community that contribute directly to the progress of the community. 4. To inspire each other to higher effort. 5. To encourage and foster the idea of service as the basis for all worthy enterprise. With this foundation, the Amissville Ruritan Club was founded in 1961. Now, as it was then, its members come from Castleton, Viewtown, Rixeyville, Amiss ville and everywhere in between and beyond. They are men from all walks of life and ages— your neighbor, perhaps, or members of your church, fathers and taxpayers. Together, they volunteer their time and effort to raise money. An all time favorite is the annual 4th of July barbecue dinner. Other activities include the circus, donkey baseball, spaghetti dinners and sales of fruit cakes. In turn, the proceeds are given back to the community in various ways. Annual cash contributions go to the following: Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Amiss ville Little League, local churches’ Sunday schools, the outstanding Rappahannock County High School graduate, Heart Fund, the Rappahannock County Elementary School’s seventh grade class trip to Williamsburg, Amissville’s fire and rescue companies and citizens in need. The Ruritans expend many hours to provide a clothes bank for those in need, flowers and fruit baskets at Christmas, clean-up campaigns, visits to hospitals and nursing homes and various other constructive activities in an effort to make a better community and environment. Mrs. Stuart’s generous gift of 8.66 acres will be used, maintained and controlled in a fashion keeping with the high standards and ideals of Ruritans. Being citizens of the community ourselves, we strive to work for, by and with everyone. It is with your support that the Ruritans can continue to be an asset to our community. WAYNE G. KANABY President Amiss ville Ruritan Club Hart: The Best Alternative To the editor The Democratic Maes Meeting at 12 noon on Saturday, March 24, gives every voter a chance to exercise his civic right and duty. At stake are the Delegates for the State Convention. It promises to be an interesting match-up. The choices are clear cut. Mr. Gary Hart has refused to accept money from Political Action Committees (PAC). This has allowed him to present fresh ideas without being shackled by special interest groups. Gary Hart is the only candidate in the race to have * proposed a comprehensive alternative military reform budget. He has called for US Soviet strategic talks on the prevention of nuclear war. His foreign policy.alternatives emphasise Ifrlosnicy over brute force and human rights over military might. On every aspect that affects our lives as in education, environment, economy and social security, Mr. Hart is a man of vision. He has a proven record. His is truly a citizens’ oriented campaign. RN No To the editor I think I can speak with some authority on “sloppy, inaccurate reporting,” since, during my four years as a senior associate of syndicated columnist Jack Anderson, I was accused of that and worse by President Ronald Reagan himself, among others. The RN is not guilty. You might like to know that even Pulitzer-prize win Please, citizens of Rappahannock, come to the Democratic Mass Meeting and give your support to Mr. Hart.

Ford, ' 1979 1 The Legislature And The Governor By GEOKGE BOWLES The processes of democracy, thank heaven, do not work smoothly. If they did we would probably not have a democracy. Thus the cantankerousness of the 1964 session of the General Assembly was not without its positive aspects. It was clear throughout the lawmakers’ 62-day ordeal that their deliberations were not being manipulated by some powerful, unseen hand pulling unseen strings from an unseen smoke-filled room. To be sure, there were efforts at manipulation going on constantly. The senior members of the House and Senate, the governor’s men, the various partisan and geographical caucuses, and the ubiquitous army of lobbyists spent most of their time trying to advance their particular causes. All of them had their moments of triumph, but none was able to dominate the process. The result was a widely held, and largely accurate, public perception that the Assembly, as a whole, was leaderless. The final week’s warring between the House of Delegates and the Senate over the budget often overshadowed the partisan sniping between the Democratic and Republican members of each body. The salvos of oratorical shot and shell were deafening. wnen uie smoke cleared alter adjournment last week, it was apparent that the big winner was Gov. Chuck Robb. While the attention of the press and much of the public was riveted on the power struggle between the House and the Senate, measure after measure in Robb’s legislative program worked its way through the Assembly mill. His $15.9 billion executive budget—far and away the most important item on his legislative agenda-4 was passed largely intact and without a general tax increase. Robb got the money for his 10 percent pay hike for college faculties, the state’s share of a similar increase for public school teachers, an 8.6 percent raise for state employees, 9.6 percent for constitutional officers and 10 percent forjudges. He was given $30 million dollars to set up the Cento- for Innovative Technologies in Northern Virginia, $10 million for use as the state’8 share of the cost of cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay, and, to help pay the bill, a deferral of the accelerated depreciation tax allowance authorised by the federal government. Beyond the fiscal concerns, he won approval of a broad plan for reorganizing the state’s executive department, regulatory reform, and reform of the state’s election laws. The Intermediate Court of Appeals, which he strongly supported, narrowly survived. And, to be sure, he lest rffetf. IBs proposals thsfp1 state agencies serving the handicapped be consol?^ idated, and that steps be taken to insure their legal rights were passed by until next year. His proposed $50 million contingency fond, to be held as a hedge against a downturn in the national economy, was effectively trimmed to $40 million. ' Still, he pronounced himself highly pleased with the session in general, and especially with the budget. “We got about 99 percent of what we asked for, he said. In spite of this, the governor was repeatedly attacked both in the press and by his partisan critics for “foiling to provide leadership” during the assembly session, and especially during the final frenetic week when the House and Senate conferees sat dead-locked over the budget. According to these critics, he should have called the leaders of the opposing factions to his office and “knocked heads” to get the dispute settled. Had He tried such an approach, or attempted to turn the Assembly into a mere rubber stamp for his program, these same critics would most assuredly have then attacked him for trying to be a dictator. As things worked out, it was anything but a rubber stamp session. Although most of his program was enacted, much of it was the subject of extensive and often bitter debate. Some of his measures survived only after major compromises and amendments. It is true that Robb’s style of leadership as neither is crisp nor as flamboyant as some of his supporters would like it to be, and as some of his critics insist it should be. 1 Still, as the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. By the same token, the proof of leadership is whether or not the troops are fed to the objective and the mission accomplished. If that is a fair test, in spite of the thunder and lightening of the Assembly’s closing days, the governor is entitled to high marks—perhaps an “A”—for his leadership during the cantankerous legislative session of 1964. His mission was to get his program enacted into law and for the most part, he did it. Byrd To Speak On i Future Strategies Former United States Senator Harry F.

Scott Robinson of Flint Hill was the recipient of the first place Henry Olson prize in the Washington Water Color Association’s annual awards show at the Arts Club.

The exhibition, Judged by Dr. Allan Marsh, Professor of Art at Montgomery College, will continue through the end of the month at the Arts Club, 2017 Eye Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. Spring Has Arrived Spring arrived in the northern hemisphere at 5:25 a.m. EST on March 20—the moment when the sun crossed the earth’s equator marking the vernal equinox. According to Dr. Paul H. Knappenberger, Jr., director of the Science Museum of Virginia, the sun is now moving northward, relative to Earth’s equator, at its maximum rate of speed. This motion, Knappenberger noted, will bring warmer temperatures to the northern hemisphere. For the next six months, the sun will also rise in the northeast and set in the northwest, producing longer hours of daylight than darkness. The position in the sky where the sun now resides is also called the vernal equinox and is the fundamental reference point for determining celestial positions. The equivalent of this position is just off the coast of Ghana where both latitude and longitude are zero degrees. Over 2,000 years ago, the vernal equinox point was located in the constellation Aries and used to establish the original “sun signs.” Since then, the sun has slowly drifted westward, about three-fourths of a constellation and is actually located in Pisces at the time of the equinox. hannock Lions Club will conduct the free vision and hearing tests in the District 24-A Lion’s Mobile Screening Van, a 27-foot Winnebago motor home converted and equipped by the Lions specifically for vision and hearing screening. The screening van was purchased in 1976 by Lions Clubs in the Northern Virginia area (District 24-A) principally to conduct continuing screenings in the district in an effort to prevent blindness and deafness by early detection and immediate referral to sight and hearing specialists. The costs of operating the screening van are borne by the Lions Clubs of District 24-A with proceeds - from their fund raising projects such as fruit and apple butter sales and sales of brooms, pecans, etc. A “Medical History Survey” form will be sent home from school by each child involved in the testing, prior to date of screening in order that a parent or guardian may sign and return the form to the school before this sight .and hearing screening is performed. It is important that the form be signed and returned to the school immediately. -—attention— MERCHANTS DISPLAY YOUR WARES at the Merchant’s Bazaar during the 33rd annual Potomac Hunt Races SUNDAY, APRIL 29 BELVEDERE FARM $75 I STALL 10*10 SPACE W/COVERED TENT $25 Deposit Due MARCH Jt Mail Check to: Alfred W.

Local Girl Scouts Celebrate A Brownie Laura Pendleton was one of the scouts to bear a flag for the opening ceremony. Space dancers used futuristic make up and lighting to create an eerie dance routine. Later, they showed other Girt Scouts how to duplicate their dance. The girls, members of Cadette Troop 502, are (left to right) Anna Hudson. Donna Foster. Nicole Maver. Gahv I.ee and Amv Avlr*r Guests at the birthday party, which included scouts from Culpeper and Orange as well as Rappahannock, were greeted by a giant cake decorated with hundreds of cupcakes which the girls shared after lunch.

In 37 Years, Helen Holschuh Has Watched GS Focus Shift From Camping To Careers By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON Rappahannock Newt Staff Writer Helen Holschuh has watched Girl Scouting shift in emphasis from camping and the outdoors to exploring career possibilities and expanding horizons for young women. “When I first took Girl Scout leadership training (more than 26 years ago), the leader who trained me was asked why Girl Scouts didn’t compete like the Boy Scouts did. She said that Girl Scouting was supposed to teach girls how to be peace makers in the home, how to be a good homemaker. Feminists would die if they heard someone saying that today! That wouldn’t wash in today’s world and Girl Scouting has realized that,” Helen said. “Today’s leaders try hard to let the girls be what they want to be. If they think they want to be a veterinarian, then before they finish Scouting, they should have lots of opportunity to explore that possibility. Or if they want to be a doctor or a fire fighter. And they learn to cook and set a good table as well.” Helen Holschuh sees the positive side of the shift in emphasis but she is also a little saddened because the focus on widened opportunities for young women, especially in senior scouting, leaves less time for camping. She was 10 years old when she joined her first Girl Scout troop in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania, a troop she stayed with for eight years. “We could only go camping for one weekend during the whole year. The Girl Scout camp that served our area had only one cabin.’' (hue cabin for all the Girl Scouts in Pittsburg to share. "Oh, did we look forward to that week’ ” Helen remembered. And while that weekend in the outdoors is her flavor* childhood mattery W •muting, she uaralh outings and field tripe to parks, museums, the zoo and other recreational activities available in downtown Pittsburg. “We went everywhere on street cars,” she remembered. In those days, there were just Girl Scouts—no Brownies, Cadets or Seniors. Helen and seven of her friends had been in the same troop with the same leader for eight years. They were practically adults. “And we older girls were horrified that Miss White (the leader) had to take in younger girls—eight year olds! We had been troop 62 so we—the 18 year olds— decided to call ourselves62Vi!” Graduation came and interrupted her association with Scouting. Later, married to her husband Howdy, a Naval Officer, she traveled to Trinidad and helped organize a Scout troop on the base there. Then when her daughter was eight years old, she resumed fulltime involvement, this time as a leader. “In all the time since, I’ve never stopped being a registerred Scout— that’s 37 years,” Helen said. UI had such a marvelous experience as a Girl Scout, I just had to help give my daughter and other girls that same experience. ” The Holschuhs were living in Northern Virginia when they bought their land at Rock Mills in Rappahannock County 28 years ago. “My troops in Northern Virginia used it for a camp site. When we retired and moved into the house they used as a camping base, we didn’t want to end the contact. We wanted to stay in touch so Howdy’s mother built the Shaw House (now camping headquarters) on our lirnd. Girl Scouts have brothers who are Boy Scouts so we’ve had boys out here using it too—as many as 600 Scouts in a year,” Helen noted. *: fir %etmiuii 'I'Mriri'jhMl troop in Trinidad arid fair semi-retirement in Rappahannock as a consultant to the Skyline Girl Scout Council and local troops, Helen has been a leader and program chairman for Girt Scouts in Hawaii and a leader in Germany for the overseas program, Troops on Foreign Soil (TOFS). She took her Cadet and Senior troops in Falls Church caving and rock climbing, and kept a promise to her girls that they’d go jcamping every month. Over the years, they became experienced outdoorswomen. They spent two weeks in the Great Smokey Mountains, camping from a bus, and then ran a day camp in Adams-Morgan for inner city youngsters that culminated in a weekend camp-out In the country. "We had to take switchblades and knives away from some of the boys. They’d brought them along because they were sure they were going to meet lions and tigers in the woods!” Helen recalled, chuckling. "We had a unique time and that was a super troop. Six of those girls were chosen for national events,” she added with satisfaction. She’s kept in contact with her girls over the years. One young woman is now president of the Skyline Council. “I’m sooo proud of that!” Helen said. “Scouting brings you such lasting friendships. One of the neat things about Scouting is that when you move to a new area, you immediately have a friend. You have something to do.. It was great for my kids because we moved around so much,” Helen recalled. If she had one wish for Scouting, it would be for the program to move back just a little to the camping that was ao important when she was a girt and a fulltime leader. “Everyone needs to know howito build a fire, how to survive in the woods. Brownie Troop #312 This Brownie troop includes the 1st, 2nd and 3rdgraders at Wakefield School. Meeting once a month, the Brownies try to plan a special activity each month with their leader, Amy Monahan. The Brownies have taken hikes along Skyline Drive, planted spring bulbs at the school, sang Christmas carols for senior citizens at Lynn Care Center in Front Royal, eiyoyed two family roller skating trips, camped with Rappahannock Scouts at Camp Friendship near Charlottesville, learned how to make Christmas decorations with Florence Williamson. Upcoming events are a trip to the circus and a camping trip. Troop #339 This Wakefield Junior troop, led by Sue Ohlinger and Pam Lynn, has been learning camping skills throughout the year in preparation for a trip this August to Michigan where the girls will swim, camp and canoe.

In their somberos and serapes from the Mexican Room at the museum, the girls posed for a picture that appeared on the front page of the Skyline Girl Scout newsletter. The little girls were among the fearless skiers at Massanutten and the indooi swimmers in Culpeper.

Sodium In the Diet Sodium is one of the most highly concentrated minerals in the body. It is found in the body skeleton, blood stream and around the outside and inside the cells. Its chief function is to maintain normal water balance inside and outside cells. Sodium helps nutrients like glucose pass through the cell wall. According to Anne Hertzler, Food k Nutrition specialist' at VPI, sodium should not be completely eliminated from the diet because it is an essential nutrient. Only under a doctor’s orders should salt be restricted. The doctor should recommend the amount of salt in relation to the patient’s medical problem. So, be careful of low-salt diets unless you are under a doctor’s care and the doctor BURKE’S STORE Specials Thursday, Woodville, VA. 987-8814 Friday, Saturday |#rJI U-J Kraft Macaroni and Cheese Dinners. .7**45* Parkay Margarine. .1b. 65* Staridst Chunk Light Tuna _ OIbwbr-l*«89* Frozen Banquet Fried Chicken _ji«. 189 RCCoia—-tiiauit'1.19 Carnation Cocoa Welch’s Grape JeHy--**.» Pel* Pan Peenut Butter cm*mi**1.59 Fireside Cookies-m«.8W produce _2 tap lor 65* -85'parlMd FRESH MEAT COUNTER Freeh and lean ground chuck—*1^9 and Mrs. Jake Sisk at Front Royal on Sunday where they were dinner guests.

Rapp&hannocic Journal •Farm •Business •Garden •Rural Life County Collie Breeders Share National Success By MICHELE MAY RawahannoekNewa SUIT Writer Bill Hutchinson of Sperryville says he’s had collies ever since he was 12-yearsold. His wife Mary dreamed of dogs in a big way ever since she was a little girl. The Hutchinsons live near Old Rag with about 20 of the best dogs in the world. That isn’t just their opinion. They can show Kennel Club awards and a high price on their puppies to prove it. Their dogs have won honors all over the east coast and their kennel, Hi Vu, is considered among the best in the nation for breeding collies. Mary has judged collies throughout North and South America. Recently returned from San Francisco where she judged for the California Collie Fanciers, she says her next assignment is in Kansas City, Missouri in a few weens. Ana sne u De goinj to New York soon for one o: her first chances to use hei recently received sheltit (miniature collie) judging license. The Hutchinsons helper organize the newly formed Culpeper Kennel Club (started in September ol 1982) which is now working towards official American Kennel Club sanction. Bill served as its second president. The Hutchinsons were also charter members of the Warrenton Kennel Club. And they are both past officers in the Mason-Dixon Collie Club (Bill is a former president), a group they joined about 20 years ago.

ACCUSTOMED TO SUCCESS, Hi Vu Champion The Enchanter has a multitude of trophies and blue ribbons. Shown by Mary Hutchinson at the Winston-Salem show in November, The Enchanter easily took best class dog as well as best of winners. grew up to be coi)ie-like in neither appearance nor disposition. , Mary made friends with a Mason-Di^on Collie Club member, a girl named Joyce Fartner who loaned her i stacks of books and mag; azines arid showed her the : joys of the well-bred dog. Her studies increased | Jjjlary’s childhood obsession ■^iitlroneday becbmirig a dp£ breeder. The culmination came wheri she and Bill ( droye to New Jersey to pick up their kennel’s first registered puppy; tri-color1 female Itnowh* as Hi -Vu Dark Radiance. She was competitive in the' Shows but never produced any puppies. - - The .first champion bred , Aat Hi Vu was registered un der the name Hyland Hills Sunset and was sold. The family tree, of succeeding generations of Hi Vu chaw, pions is outlined in the. current issue of “Collie Cues*, which is a national publioa,'tion known throughout the Kennel Club “circuit, ’ describing the Hutchinsons in its ‘ “Measures of Success” the ^beauties was a Cineiimati puppy known as, Tlje^in) vader that Bill Snd* Mfl^y bought duhing the' sumiper of 1967. He tfrent back jto •/Cincinnati for his first show ' ' where he took Best ;*of -•Sweeps. ..,/ ^ 4-^ His most famous son Was a champion known as Gladia- *. tor. He in turn-sired a great champion named The Intruder. “From these two truly great collies the Hi Vu line was founded,” reports writer John Buddie.. “The pedigrees of 4 many champions in many different kennels nationwide trace back to these two collies.” One 'of'the 'main lessons dogs have taught them, accusing to Mary, is that ; buying a,little puppy with uncertain ancestry is a false economy. People can never ■predict how the dog will act. “It’s just as cheap to have a good dog,” says Bill. Especially in an age of inflation, the cost of the dog is not the main expense, even tor a thousand-dollar puppy with a pedigree going back to prehistory. Veterinarian bill* and feeding the dqg add ! up considerably during the animal’s life-span. - The Hutcbin&»i*s main • interest in helping to found i the Culpeper KentfeV’Craf) i has been educating the public about good dogs and raisi ing money for civic grout I Culpeper * Animal! Shelter , and the Virginia Search and Rescue Dog Association. On August 28. the ch'\ ■ "betd ’ its" first 'annual • “ml- 1 Breed and % Obedience Fun Match;’* Planned as part of the <Gui|>eperfe.st, the sum- 1 mer celebration at t^ie Agricultural «' Enterprises attracted approximately St>0 entries, according to the Hutchinsons who helped organize it. This astonishing turn-out was the result of ads in the dog magazines as well as word-of-mouth publicity from the judges to members of other Kennel Clubs. Contestants came from as far as Lynchburg, and Maryland. “We had a lot of calls from all over the place,” Mar^ remembers. Yet she says she was expecting an even greater attendance. “We would have had more if the weather had not been so hot,” she said, remembering there had been a major show in Fredericksburg the day before and many of the dogs were overheated. Their owners decided it was best not to show the dogs again so soon, she added. When the Culpeper Kennel Club receives its official AKC sanction, it will be able to hold shows in which championship points are awarded. Meanwhile, the dub is proceeding with plans for second annual fun match to be held during the third week of August. Mary says that’s the start of "the real show season” and gives owners a chance to train their pups in proper ringside manner and to. get a “preliminary opinion” of each dogs — whether to show again or get another one. A-fun match is a less, expensive way for people towprk With a their dogs than Uunng thdm ’ immediately into tgu^jer . contests , and san^tisned j. j Later the Culpeper Club t would like to have matches •’ In Uimti I)lm upi'iin. ami Ml, ihiLMjiLThajhiMUwun ehoweaiw alee good for the. public. .Maryadded.

Anyone coifld recite the “standard”, ale says, but the AKC wants judges who can reason for themselves quickly and who know dogs. “When you get into the ring, you are God,” she explains. “You make the decision in a few seconds and can’t go back to a book.” The judge has three min utes maximum to look over each contestant during a sanctioned show, Mary says. Judges must be thoroughly acquainted with the various points of excellence and be able to make snap decisions. This situation led lifelong dog writer and collie breeder Albert Payson Terhune to observe, “The income tax man is a popular favorite, compared with a dog-show judge.” There can be only one winner. Each owner believes his dog is the best. There is bound to be a conflict. Terhune described the typical situation in his 1921 book “Further Adventure of Lad”: “Before the judging begins, some of the exhibitors act as if they wanted to kiss him. Nothing’s too good for him. He wades chin-deep through 'flattery and loving attentions." Then, aftw* the judging is over, he is about (is- popular with those same !**$**«■» as a typhoid ... *-4)bgmhow judge# may - >i -- ■■ • edge can hardly be questioned.

Elegant Country Suppers Boast Epicurean Delights By DAPHNE HUTCHINSON ■■Witmirli HwiiuBlrto Next weekend, a few of Rappahannock’s celebrated cooks will be hosts and hostesses at the annual elegant country suppers for the benefit of the Child Care and Learning Center (Sursum Corda). Seating at these initimate affairs is limited. And although the $26 contribution for a reservation is more than reasonable when compared to restaurant offers of anywhere near the same quality, still the cost is more than many Rappahannock families can afford. With this in mind, organizers of the benefit have volunteered to share a sampling of the menus and recipes so others may plan their own at home elegant country suppers. But fen- those whose tastebuds are tingling after reading the menus, a few reservations are still available. For information, call Cecily Kohler at 675-3121.

WALTERS lappilMMMck News Ceaaarratioa Writer Y esterday was nationally acclaimed Agriculture Day. The day deserves tribute. Without skilled fanners and the food they raise, the U.S. would not be the strength it is today. In fact, Americans would probably be half starved, grabbing for anything to eat. Such a prospect isn’t pleasing. Fortunately, people in the United States will continue eating well for less than one fifth of the average family’s income, thanks to modem farmers! A hundred years ago, a fanner produced only enough food for his family. Today, he feeds his family and about 75 other people. Just ten years ago it was 47. Farm related activities intertwine with the general economy. They generate about 20 percent of the nation’s gross national product and employ 23 percent of U.S. workers. Yet only about three percent of the labor force is engaged in direct farming. This nation’s system produces much of the world’s output, including 25 percent of the beef, 25 percent of the grain and eggs and 15 percent of the milk. American farmers can achieve such feats because of fertile soils, an ideal climate and scientific farming methods and machinery. .The U.S. has about 2,300,000 farms averaging in size 440 acres. Most are privately owned. Since the 1920s the number of farms in the U.S. has decreased steadily while the average size has increased. The number of fulltime farmers has also declined. Today most operators of small farms also have non-farm jobs. Approximately 500,000 U.S. farms, less than a fifth of the total number, account for 80 percent of the cash receipts from the sale of farm products. This trans lates to about $26 billion in trade surplus in 1981. The nonagricultural trade deficit exceeded $66 billion.

Producers may either pick up a copy or call the office and one will be mailed. Collie Breeders Share Success (Continued from Pane I:’) champs, having experience with the various breeds they hope to judge, having served an apprenticeship of sorts as the steward to a judge (getting the correct people into the ring at the right time as the judge needs them) and having what Mary calls an insight into ring order. Mary has all of this and more. And so she was rewarded accordingly by her fellow fanciers. She was chosen in a national elecion to be one of three judges for the 1985 Collie Club of America specialty show in Ontario, Canada. The AKC now holds breed seminars for would be judges. These classes include films and slide presentations to show points to look for in evaluating dogs. Mary has attended two symposiums of shelties (Shetland sheepdogs). What’s the main feature of a sheltie? She laughs. They bark, she says. Many Dog Denizens Daisy skips up and down in her pen beside the box of sleeping sheltie pups. Outside the fluffy Himalayan cats are getting more attention than she is. She doesn’t like that. She shows it in true sheltie fashion. She barks. The shelties outside in their cage by the porch are bored. They show it in true sheltie fashion. They bark. Mary says shelties just like to listen to themselves talk. They’re catching on in popularity, though, particularly in cities (where their owners often have them surgically debarked) because they are smaller, but just as protective as a standard size collie. They make good watch dogs and companionable pets. The Hutchinsons have about 20 dogs, give or take a few. They don’t inventory them regularly. Out front a whole circus of collies cavort around one very elegant afghan. In the back the regal Enchanter (called Chad by his close friends) of the narrow muzzle and luxurious ruff, golden hair and six point AKC record — this dog with pretty petite feet and curious questioning ears romps with an also attractive friend, named Memo, but when the photographers stop by, he snaps at her to get out of camera range because he is the star. (He disdains her mere four point m^jor.) Freed from his pen he comes forward to flaunt his intelligence and poise. But Mary confesses that it's all a front. Enchanter is really a clown at heart. Once she was showing him when she felt a sudden tug on the leash behind her. She knew Enchanter had gone into his fainting act and had fallen to the ground. Mary never looked back. She dragged him back up and continued around the ring as though nothing untoward had happened. Afterwards the spectators accused her of heartlessness, Mary says, bflt they didn’t know this dog as she does. She knew if she looked back, his antics would have become more and more buffoonish. This one-on-one rapport with a pet is something big breeders begin to miss, Mary admits. Living with so many dogs of national renown is exciting, but the almost psychic communication between the Master and His Dog is something very special, too — something the Hutchinsons wistfully miss sometimes in the midst of caring for 20 dogs, two Himalayan cats, a horse here and there — and going to all those shows.

The B«ef Cattle Industry Taak Force was given the go ahead to ask producers to vote on ssemsing themselves 26 cents per head on cattle and calves sold. The money will be used for education, research and marketing programs. Certification of votes is to begin June 1 with the final results to be announced in August. State Entomologist Don Kludy explained the suppression efforts of the gypsy moth program in the state. Suppression objectives are to protect the foliage, prevent the larva from becoming a nuisance to the general public and minimise the nat urn spread or toe insect. The Board approved a recommendation that residents of Loudoun County have the opportunity to say whether they do or do not want to participate in the program. County land owners will express their opinion at a meeting on April 3 in Leesburg. The Board also approved a Gypsy Moth Eradication plan for Floyd and Montgomery Counties. Dr. W. D. Miller, VDACS veterinarian, presented the Board with recommended standards on the transportation of companion animals and horses. It was pointed out that these are voluntary standards. The Board also autho rued Commissioner Carbaugh to establish a Viticultural Technical Advisory Committee to study the desirability and cost for implementing a Grapevine Certification Program and Reserve Space Now For Our Spring Gardening Issue Advertise In The Rappahannock news At Our Regular Rates Deadline April 3rd Contact Lisa Burke, Advertising Manager at The Rappahannock Mews i 675-3349 or 675-3338 Quality.

Old Line Republicans School Budget Should Be Bigger (Continued from Page 1) Before a vote could be taken on the nominating committee’a proposal, Jenkins offend a substitute motion for a different slate. There were no fomiliar names this time around on the delegate list and only a few - Marocchi, George Sharp, Marta Tholand and the Ponds - among the aldHPaned that under Robeft’s Rides of Order, a vote to be taken on the subte motion first ! A Farley supporter argted that the substitute slate of delegates provided a broader base and broader representation, involving Hs*e people in the political process. “I certainly think are can use some new interest (in the Republican Party in Rappahannock),* he said. Explaining how the nominating committee chose its list of proposed delegates, Marocchi said the selection was based on willingness to serve and to give time and “ a little bit of money.” The committee members picked CUSTOM COUNTRY HOMES Traditional, j Contemporary, I & Solar Homes ' Decks and Additions by DAVID K. BATCHELDER VA. CLASS “A” CONTRACTOR >1 people “who will pay attention to developments in the next few weeks” and not decide on a candidate to support on the strength of one speech. They chose people with “common sense who can represent all the Republicans of Rappahannock County.” In making their selections,. Marocchi added, they followed the tradition set by former county chairman Tiny Carney: that newcomers to the ranks of party workers could best serve as convention alternates for their first year or two. First expressing his pleasure at the large turnout, Konick reminded the audidence that the purpose of Tuesday’s mass meeting was to select delegates, not vote on a candidate who will run in November for the U.S. House of Representatives seat vacated by 14 year veteran J. Kenneth Robinson. He stressed that those delegates will be representing ALL the Republicans of Rappahannock County at the upcoming conventions. Konick questioned supporting the substitute slate of delegates presented by Farley’s supporters when it didn’t include a single person who had ever previously attended a Republican meeting of any kind in Rappahannock or contributed a nickle to the Republican Party of Rappahannock or ever worked for the election of a Republican candidate in the county to local, state or national office. On the other hand, the proposed delegates on the slate presented by the nominating committee have done all of those things again and again, Konick noted. A Farley supporter hoisted a sign proclaiming “Farley Yes” at the vote on the substitute motion nam Tax Deductible NEEDED L GIFTS V—Tat ‘ p The Birth Of Great Meadow With final preparation of facilities for our new community site for steeplechasing, three day eventing, pony club and the open field events, The Meadow Outdoors Foundation is needing gifts of these items— • A new or used manure spreader • A large turf aerator • Fence rails • Telephone or electric poles • Flag poles • PVC pipe (any length or size) Phone 347-7144.

The motion was defeated by i margin of almost two to one with over 100 opposed. A second vote on the slate put forward by the nominating committee carried by almost the same margin.

Stage Plans (Continued from Page 1) Scene changes could be performed more quickly and the show would be smoother. —Scenery storage. Somewhere at the high school a specific storage area should be provided for flats and other large pieces of scenery and theatrical equipment. They are now stored in the “little red building” out back with sports equipment and are sometimes damaged through improper storage, Bomberger said. —Raise the roof. Bomberger noted he had saved his grandest request for a finale. He requested that the roof be raised over the present stage area in order to build a fly loft. Bomberger said he would especially like to be able to drop large pieces of scenery — again to Bave time during scene shifts. He kidded that he had saved “the big one” for last. In responding to his remarks, teacher Lynne Baines said the school system had “been very blessed in the quality of drama” it had received under the guidance of Don Bomberger. Any support he sought should seriously be considered, Baines said, if the schools would like due (nudity to continue. “Severa1 of his characteristics seemed to rule Ronald Reagan out as a serious challenger.

Roof Repair “Why are we letting the building continue to deteriorate?” demanded L.G. “Butch” Zindel. His remarks were regarding roof repairs at the elementary school. On behalf of RCQE, Zindel, an Amusville contractor, objected to “piecemeal” emergency repairs, possibly by several different firms. “Why not do it and have done with it?” he asked. Zindel suggested budgeting the total amount required for all phases of roof repair required at the high school, even if the school system would need to borrow to finance it. This would avoid possible inflation to the estimated prices and farther deterioration to the building, according to Zindel. The group endorsed requesting an additional $60,000 to complete the reroofing at the elementary school during the coming year. The situation had reached an emergency state. The RCQE members said, with the building’s support structures and interior furnishings suffering water damage. Art Teacher Cecily Kohler told the board she was “unpleasantly surprised” when she moved to Rappahannock. The reason for her dismay was the lack of any art program in the elementary school. Children are given mimeographed sheets with seasonal pictures which they color, a process Kohler contends is “more damaging than no art at all.” Last year, RCES principal Maggie Piper had asked reinstatement of an art teaching position, according to Kohler, but it was not recommended this time and RCQE was suggesting it for next year. Altogether the association endorsed two additional teaching positions at the elementary school. One person would teach art and assist the gifted and talented program. The other slot would combine two halfday positions in foreign language and computers. Computers Camille Harris spokt specifically to the group’i perceived need for mon computer instruction in bot) schools. She questioned hov much of the proposed furni ture and equipment monej from the capital outlay por tion of the budget could g< for computers in the schools, Estabrook explainec that $8,000 of the $20,00< line item would buy a termi nal for the administratior building. It would conned with the IBM main frame at Piedmont Technical Center where Rappahannock’s fi nancial programming u kept. The school could re ceive substantial savings, according to Estabrook, bj using the new computer foi accounts payable, payroll, W2 and similar forms, staU reports and other accounting procedures. Each school building would receive $6,000 for furniture and equipment to be used as the principals saw fit. Part of each school’s money could be used for computers, Estabrook said. He added that the “beginning” was already “in place” Board Sets Index Steps (Continued from Pace 1) The Board also tabled consideration of administrative salaries, but expressed general agreement with Massie that there be no index for principals and assistant principals. She said she would prefer to see a percentage increase given to those employees and any index for them studied farther. Repair Roof Now The most major change in the budget from the superintendent’s proposal was in the category of contracted services under operation and maintenance. This is the line item under which fall roof repairs at the elementary school The board yoted to increase the superintendent's request from $68,700 to $114,635. Quotations Estabrook received on the north wing emergency reroofing gave him an estimate of 527,760. The third phase of the project was previously placed at $82,000 but was expected to wait another year. Citizen comment" at last week’s budget hearing urged completion of the entire project immediately. The board voted to request the roof money, but to del ete portions ox' the contracted services category intended to pave the parking area at the new administration building. “We suggest you walk on gravel for a while and have a roof,” said Reeve. Oliver suggested adding more gravel if the paving was postponed. The board agreed. Deductions The board members had started their line by line review in a mood for cutting. They took away $220 intended to provide themselves mileage for attending board meetings. They then reduced the superintendent’s request for $2,600 for administration office supplies and stationery by $300. This portion of the budget includes an initial inventory of computer paper for the new terminal Estabrook seeks for bookkeeping processes at the administration. While they were looking for ways to cust costs the board members asked Estabrook to get figures on other brands of computers to see if a less expensive model would be compatible with the main frame at Piedmont Technical Center. Estabrook said he would have figures by next week. The board also voted to postpone purchase of an air operated end lift at the bus shop. This substracted another $1,600 from the budget. The school system could anticipate an estimated $839,935 in state ftinds during 1984-85, Estabrook said. Another $90,067 was expected from federal funds. Other income such as driver education fees, wine and sales taxes was estimated at $312,944. That left $1,379,796 to be requested from the county if the superintendent’s budget were to be approved as proposed. The county’s actual allotment for 1983-84 is $1,070,866, Estabrook added.

It would be a mistake to buy hard1 ware before the curriculum was decided, he said. A committee working with assistant superintendent Tom Campbell is looking at computers studies in other ' schools in preparation for a recommendation for Rappahannock. 1 RCQE endorsed adding money to the budget specif1 ically for educational computers at the elementary school. O’Meara proposed $4,000 for “an adequate start.” Foreign Language Bruce Vierling said he would like to see a second foreign language, specifically Spanish, taught at the high school. “It would be nice to have several others,” he said. “It would be awfully nice to introduce foreign language in the elementary school.” High school principal Robert Chappell, who was in the audience, pointed out that new state requirements for advanced diplomas will mean additional foreign language offerings. “Before we branch out we need to take a look at how new state requirements affect our present program,” he said. (Chappell previously explained that a 22 credit diploma requires three credits of one foreign language or four credits in two languages. The school presently has a transfer student completing French V through independent study in the small third year French class.) Penny Wise In closing remarks for RCQE, O’Meara commended the School Board and administration for fiscal responsibility and “living with a tough budget.” However, he hoped they would not face the same problems next year. O’Meara stressed that the board should not submit a budget to the Board of Supervisors that would be “penny wise and pound foolish.” The superintendent had done a fine job of monitoring the system’s limited resources, O’Meara said, “but we see him leaping through hoops to put out fires and that gives him less time for educational needs.” “I think you’re magicians to face the economic reality the Board of Supervisors gives you,” Frank Reynolds told school officials at the close of the hearing. “You need to advise the board on what the needs are in education and tell them what you need to have a first rate system. The citizens will come forth and support you and we’ll help you out.” His promise was greeted with applause from those in attendance. r Building? •Paint •Lumber' •Millwork 1 a* •Hardmm"**'#* Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. onlheBy-FMe,iirrenton 347-1400 FAUQUIER LIVESTOCK HCOWOWATED 4 REGULAR SALES EvrvTu—.
