Supervisors convened in special session October 26 to discuss purchase of property presently up for sale. The supervisors did not reveal the location of the proposed landfill site. Discussion of the proposed purchase took place in executive session. Supervisors wanted to move quickly to attempt to purchase the property. According to Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke, another party also is interested. The board authorized Supervisors Hubert Gilkey III and Nelson Lane to enter into negotiations for the property. The supervisors appropriated $185,000 for purchase of the proposed site. Even if purchased, it could be some time before the county actually has its own landfill due to numerous tests and studies that would take place prior to actual purchase to insure the proposed site would be environmentally safe. “It’s extremely unlikely we’d have it in place by June next year,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Luke said. The county must decide by June 30,1985 whether or not to continue its contract with Community Trash Removal, Inc. of Culpeper to remove trash from dumpster locations throughout the county. • Closed, Open Election Day Election Day is Tuesday, November 6, a state holiday for government employees. At least one county government agency will be open for business as usual: The office of Family Guidance Services (formerly the Rappahannock Mental Health Clinic) will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. on Election Day. All other county and state offices will be closed Election Day. In addition, Rappahannock National Banfc will be closed. Farmers and Merchants Bank of Flint Hill will be open Election Day. The Rappahannock County Library also will be open. • Polls Open At 6 A. M. The polls open at 6 a.m. and remain open until 7 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, November 6, Ruth Kilby, registrar, reports. Residents must vote by district in the following locations: Jackson District, Amissville Fire Hall; Hampton District, Washington courthouse; Piedmont District, Sperryville Firehall; Stonewall-Hawthome District, Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church; Wakefield District, Flint Hill Firehall. Special hours for absentee voting have been announced, too. The registrar’s office will be open Thursday, November 1 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on Saturday, November 3, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information on voting, contact the registrar’s office at 675-3739. • Water Shut-Off Work Begins The Town of Washington should have as many as eight water shutoff valves operative soon. Work began October 25 to correct the nagging ' problem cfwr water in Washington when even minor leaks occur in the system. According to Brad Fisher, vice mayor of,Town Council, town officials recently discovered six shut-off valves already exist in the town’s water-supply network. The discovery was made when going over maps of the town’s nearly 50-year-old system. All six valves had been paved over and forgotton years ago, Fisher said. Working on the project were Steve Critzer and Thurman Whorton, who uncovered two of the valves last Thursday. If the weather is good, ah six should be reopened and, if necessary, repaired soon, Critzer said. Two new shut offs also are on tap for the project. • See Washington On TV Channel 9, a CBS affiliate in Washington, D.C., is scheduled to broadcast an information piece on the Town of Washington this Sunday. The program is called “Capital Edition,” which begins at 10:30 a.m. • SPTA Wants More Members The Student Parent Teacher Association (STPA) of Rappahannock County was pleased, but not satisfied, when the group met October 26 to discuss membership. Their initial meeting of October 17 turned out about 26 participants — a good show — but not nearly enough to accomplish all STPA hopes to accomplish during this school year. Among STPA plans for a better tomorrow at the elementary school: improved playground facilities; increased support for the band program; child-safety programs targeted primarily at school buses; more lunchroom aides; how-to-help-your-child-at-home projects. SPTA officers and public relations committee members called their group “small but ambitious,” before outlining plans to encourage more students, parents and teachers to join. To boost membership and interest, STPA plans to launch its membership drive November 6 when a letter to parents is scheduled to come home with pupils. The letter will ask for token financial support, but more important, according to Emma Swatman, chairman of the membership committee, it will ask for participation. Already, individuals and organizations around the county are assuming an active role. The Rappahannock Women’s Club recently ordered new swings for the playground. Other activities, such as a benefit sock hop scheduled for November 16, also will help, members note. SIT A outlined their objectives, too: “To gather organized voices providing a forum in which students, parents and teachers can share concerns and problems of our children; communicate better between school and home; raise money to benefit our children; serve as an umbrella for school activities. ” SPTA’s next meeting is Thursday, November 8 at the elementary school at 7:30 p.m. —Rappahannock Newt Photcyjot!

Seventh District Congressional Race Could Be Closest In Years Lewis M. Costello By DOUG GARDNER Arundel Newapapen 9Uff Writer Lewis M. Costello, Democratic candidate in the 7th District congressional race, is new to the political arena. He has never held elected office. But the 51-year-old Winchester tax attorney sells himself as the best replacement for retiring seven-term Rep. J. Kenneth Robinson because Costello believes he can accomplish more than either of his two challengers. For one, Costello said he has concrete ideas about how to deal with a number of issues — ideas he claims his Republican rival, D. French Slaughter, lacks. And, as a Democrat, he would be among the majority in the House and would have a better opportunity to transform those ideas into legislation, he said. Eight years younger than Slaughter, the Democrat also believes he would have a better chance to gain seniority in the House. Costello characterizes himself as a fiscal conservative but not a “social conservative.” He said health and social programs are vital. Costello also maintains he is an independent-minded candidate and has fought repeated Republican attempts to tie him ideologically with liberal Rep. Thomas P. “Tip” O’Neill IDMass.), Speaker of the House. A lieutenant colonel in the Air Force Reservd, Costello said he is dedicated to a strong national defense. But he said he also believes military expenditures should be closely monitored to Lewis M. Costello make for a more efficient use of funds. The Democrat entered the race only 13 days before the Democrats’ district nominating convention May 12. A quick tour of the district and the backing of potent political ally, Del. Alson H. Smith Jr. (D-Winchester), helped Costello win the nomination over Charlottesville banker Francis H. Fife. Since then the relative unknown in the expansive 7th District has overcome his identity problem with a demanding campaign schedule which has taken him 27,000 miles by auto in the last 90 days. But the campaign tactic which probably has drawn the most attention to his candidacy (attacks on Slaughter’s voting record in the Virginia legislature) also has drawn cries of foul from his opponent. Just this week one of Costello’s (Continued on Page 12) R. E. Frazier R. E. Frazier By JON HEDDLESTON Rappahaamck Newa Staff Writer Independent candidate R. E. “Bob” Frazier used to think there were two major reasons why he was the best choice for a 7th District congressional seat. Now the one-man-campaign artist from Earlysville is sure there are three reasons. Frazier said during a recent telephone interview the abortion issue and national support for Israel thrust him into the campaign, but he came to realize that he’s “really better qualified” in foreign affairs than his opponents, Democrat Lewis M. Costello of Winchester and Republican D. French Slaughter Jr. of Culpeper. Trained as a. pilot during World War II, Lt. Col. Fnraer (retired) com(Continued on Page 12) D. French Slaughter, Jr. French Slaughter By LAWRENCE EMERSON AraaM Ncwapaptn Staff Writer Daniel French Slaughter Jr. has waged one of the longest and most expensive congressional campaigns in 7th District history. In the 10 months since he announced his candidacy on Feb. 1, Slaughter has raised and spent more than $390,000 in his bid to succeed fellow Republican J. Kenneth Robinson, of Winchester, who will retire at year’s end after seven terms. A Culpeper attorney, Slaughter spent $100,000 in a preconvention campaign to defeat five rivals — attorney Guy O. Farley Jr., of Warrenton, foremost among them — in an arduous fight for the Republican nomination, which he won May 12. (Continued on Page 16) By SEAN ADAMS * AnmwiNtwipapan Staff Write Edythe C. “Edie” Harrison has always been interested in “issues,” but it wasn’t until she had trouble registering to vote as a young woman that she got involved in politics. “Politics is what decides everyshe said. “Who eats, who n’t eat; if, when or where wars are fought; who lives and who dies—it’s all politics.” “And if you want to be part of the decision making, you better be involved.” Harrison, a self-described “professional volunteer” who lives in Norfolk, has gotten involved in politics in a big way this year, running as the Democratic Party’s nominee for the United States Senate. It has not been an easy race so far for Harrison, 60, a former state legislator who is low cm name recognition and money but high on enthusiasm. During a recent interview in Leesburg, she talked of why she is running r Edythe C. Harrison this year, her positions on the issues, and why she wants to oust the Republican incumbent, John W. Warner of Fauquier County, from the seat he has held since 1979. “I think he goes along to get along, and I think Virginia deserves more than that,” she says of Warner, whom (Continued on Page 3) John W. arner By SEAN ADAMS Aranael Nmpafcn SUIT Writer Against a backdrop of mountains and fall leaves, John W. Warner came to the microphone at Rock Hill Farm near Front Royal earlier this month. “For 50 years I have grown up in this beautiful part of this beloved part of our Commonwealth of Virginia,” he told a cheering crowd of Republicans, and had “farmed just down the road” in Fauquier County for nearly a quarter of a century. “I flew in by helicopter today and I’ve never seen such grandeur in a long time as Virginia reveals today — verdant fields, the first touch of fall,” he said, asking those in attendance to be “greatful to the good Lord” for the “bountiful growing season” that farmers had this year. “And this brings to mind my desire to return to the Senate next year as your senator . . . ,” he added, providing an example of what Republicans are displaying on the campaign trail this year The politics of optimism. John W. Warner Nowhere is that optimism clearer than in the case of Warner, the 57year-old resident of Atoka Farm outside Middleburg who has raised so much money — about $2 million so far — that he reportedly has stopped actively raising money, so it could go to fellow GOP congressional candidates.

On a day where not-so-Autumn-like heat dried the scent of fox too quickly, spirits didn’t dissipate; about 100 members and guests gathered for the festivities on the bright, clear, Saturday morning. It was the thirtieth year ceremonies took place at Stonehaven, home of Mr. and Mrs. George Muth. Comprising the field were about 36 member and guest riders. Thirtyone hounds, 10 of them in their first year, led the pack of fifteen-andone-half couples. Visitor-guests in the audience came from as far away as West Germany, Mr. Muth noted. Guests also came from California and Florida. Opening Meet ceremonies began with welcoming remarks made by Mr. Muth and Rappahannock Hunt Club Joint Masters Bernie Dahlgren and Lefty LeHew. The Blessing of the Hounds followed.

Misunderstanding Causes Confusion At BZA Meeting By JANE BANGLEY KappahaMwek Nem Staff Writer A misunderstanding between the Board of Zoning Appeals members and Zoning Administrator David Konick was the source of confusion during the board’s meeting on October 24. At the board’s September 26 meeting, the board had decided to table a discussion of a possible renewal of a special use permit for the Child Care and Learning Center. At that time, the board had advised Camille Harris, director of the center, that she would be formally notified when the board would be discussing the question of whether or not a renewal is needed. Konick did not understand that the board had decided to table the matter indefinitely, and he placed the subject on the agenda for October 24. When the board members realized that the permit question was on the agenda, they advised Konick that they had tabled it indefinitely and that any discussion would be wrong since Harris was not present. The board then moved on to other business. The situation did not end there, however, because Konick called Harris without the board’s knowledge. After Harris arrived. Konick avain tried to Keesey To Act As Public Relations Advisor D) JAT'IE, OAnULIi I Kawahan»ckN«w> Staff Writer Truman G. Keesey of Washington, Va., was asked on Friday, October 26 to advise the Board of the International Student House (ISH) in Washington, D.C. on public relations for the house’s upcoming 50th anniversary. Keesey was asked to act as advisor by James Wilson, president of the board of directors of the ISH, Louise Armstrong, a board member, and Paul Feys, ISH director. The 50th anniversary for the house will take place in September of 1986. The ISH was founded in 1936 in Washington, D.C. by the American Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organixation. In 1962, the house became a non-profit corporation managed by a board of directors consisting of interested Washington citizens. The house can accommodate 60 men and women students, and its goal is to have an internationally mixed student body. This year there are students from 29 different countries living in the house. The number of American students allowed to live in the house is Illiuieu tu IV. Ot>UUt?IIU» UlUKI U1 living in the house have to apply, and have to be attending an approved school, college or university. Keesey was the director of public relations for the first World Conference of Local Governments in 1961. For his work and the work of his staff, the District of Columbia received the much coveted “People to People” citation from the National League of Cities. “We will be dealing with all news media with a particular emphasis on television and radio networks for the 50th anniversary,” said Keesey. “Right now we’re in the planning stages, and definite plans have not been made.” Keesey is also involved in an effort to begin an ISH alumni association. “On the basis of the people who have lived in the house over the years or have worked with the organization, we are trying to organize an alumni association,” Keesey said. “The first step will be to contact some people, and we will be trying to get a good age representation.” Happabaimotfc i£tto* Rappahannock* Adjoining Counties per year $8.00 Elsewhere in the U S. per year $10.00 Outside the U.S. per year $8.00 pkts postage SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL ALL PAYABLE IN ADVANCE ( ) New ( ) Renewal ( ) Check Enclosed NAME ADDRESS___ CITY___ STATE ZIP Second class postage paid at the Poet Office at Wanenton, Va.

At that point, Chairman Lee Bird suddenly adjourned the meeting, but the meeting was reconvened for more discussion. Harris told the board that she had had to cancel meetings in order to come to the meeting at such short notice. Konick said that Harris had told him on the phone that she was busy, “but I asked her if she’d mind, since I’d like to get this matter resolved, making an effort to come over here, and here she is.” Harris said that she was told that Truman Keesey Market Report At the Front Royal Livestock Exchange on October 25, the following prices were reported: Hogs US 1-3,200-250 lbs. $43.50 Sows: 1-3, $37-42 Lambs Feeder $51.50 Feeder lambs Choice: Slaughter Ewes, $13 Slaughter Cattle Cows: HD Cut and Brk UT 1-3, $33-35.75; Utility and Comm 2-4, $32.75-34.50; Canner and cutter 1-3, $28.75-31 Bulls: 1-2, $36-43.25 Baby Calves Baby Calves: $47.50-62.50 Feeder Cattle Steers: Medium and Lge, 3-500 lbs. $54-62.50; 5-700 lbs. $52.50-54.75; 7-1000 lbs. $52-57.25 Heifers: Medium and Lge, 3-500 lbs. $38.50-44; 5-700 lbs.

The board told Konick that a telephone call did not constitute formal notification, and that the board was not prepared to discuss the matter. “I don’t understand what there is necessary to be prepared for,” said Konick. “It’s a simple question which frnnklv I Hnn’t thinlr ia within tho iuria. diction of the board.” The board renewed its determination to table the discussion, and it made a formal apology to Harris for any inconvenience. In other business, the board approved a request by Rev. L.D. Savage to increase the limitation on students at Massanova Christian Academy. The school’s limit was set at 50 students, but the BZA increased the limitation temporarily to 60. After the school has constructed an addition, the school will request that the limit be set at 75 stu Opposition to the school’s request was voiced by Doris Donald who lives in the area where the school is located. Citing an increase in noise and traffic, and the school’s incompatibility with the neighborhood, Donald asked that the board refiise the request. Chairman Bird replied that the board had visited the school, and had not noticed any traffic or noise problems. “The school is in a good position to expand as they want to,” Bird said. The board’s next meeting will be on November 21 at 9 a.m. at the courthouse. BZA Answers Saltonstall Anneal By JANE BANGLEY Rappahannock New* Staff Writer A Return was filed in the county cleric’s office on October 24 by Lee Bird, chairman of the Board of Zoning Appeals, responding to a Writ of Certiorari issued by the circuit court for Patricia Sal tons tall. The writ was issued on October 18, and the board had 10 days in which to submit transcripts of those meetings in which the issue was discussed, and to make any response. In addition to the transcripts of the board’s meetings on October 12, 1983, August 22, 1984, and September 26,1984, the Return also contained the minutes of the October 12 meeting. At issue is a decision made by the BZA on September 26 that placed a house built on one of SaltonstaU’s lots in violation of the zoning ordinance. Bird responded in tl|e Return to arguments made in Saltonstall’s writ on a point-by-point basis. The first response involved a question about the board’s decision not to allow evidence to be submitted by Saltonstall’s attorney, Doug Baumgardner, at the September 26 meeting. Bird states in the Return that the board had announced at its August 22 meeting that a decision would be made on the matter involving the Saltonstall building at the SeptemEmergency Fire And Rescue According to the log, the following calls were routed through the dispatch center in the past week: October 23: 6:43 p.m., fire, Route 622 Harris Hollow, Washington Fire Department.

It was reported that State Senator Kevin Miller (R) recommended not pursuing an advisory referendum when he met October 19 with Ron Frazier, chairman of the Rappahannock Public Action Committee (RPAC). Contacted by telephone October 30, Senator Miller said he suggested RPAC work toward a compromise with county officials before pursuing an advisory referendum. The senator said he did not suggest that RPAC not pursue the referendum. ber 26 meeting, and that therefore further information could not be accepted. Bird denies in the Return that: The decision on September 26 was arbitrary and capricious, that the decision was contrary to the weight of the evidence, that an erroneous view of the law was incorporated in the decision, that the board had no jurisdiction to review the opinion of Zoning Administrator David Konick, that the appeal filed by Roger and Diane Kidwell which led to the decision was insufficient in law, that the board erred in not maintaining a Motion to Dismiss and a Motion to Quash filed by Baumgardner, and that the board took into account evidence not legally pertinent to the case. Bird states in the Return that some pertinent facts were not included in the Saltonstall writ. These facts deal with the background of the case, and include information on Saltonstall’s original application for a special use permit in August of 1983. The application was denied due to what the board deemed to be the duplex nature of the building, which placed the building in violation of the single-family provision in a conservation district. Saltonstall built the house in the winter of 1983-84 after receiving permission from Konick. Bird states in the return that Konick was in error when he wrote a letter on July 5 to the Kidwells explaining that the house was r permitted by the zoning ordinance as long as one family lived in the house, and that the board based its September 26 decision on those facts. Commonwealth’s Attorney Peter Luke filed a motion to dismiss the proceedings against the county raised because of the Saltonstall writ because the matter involves the BZA and Saltonstall. If the court does not allow the dismissal, Luke asks for 10 days to make the county’s response. noann UTBTOa Burn INCORPORATED Regular Salas Every Tues.

1 wo Virginia Constitutional Amendments Will Be On Ballot By SEAN ADAMS Arandcl Staff Writer Tucked away quietly amid the candidates on this year’s election day ballot are two proposed amendments to the Virginia Constitution. A majority of the persons voting on the questions must approve them before the amendments can take effect. The Virginia General Assembly has already approved the amendments in two sessions, with an election of the House of Delegates in between. The first question is: “Shall the Constitution of Virginia be amended so that members of local governing bodies can be elected or appointed to vacancies in the office of mayor or board chairman?” Under the current constitution, if the position of mayor or chairman of the board becomes vacant — through resignation, for example — the local governing body usually appoints someone on an interim basis until a special election can be held to fill the vacancy. But if the mayor or board chairman is elected separately by the voters, the constitution prohibits the council or board from appointing one of its own members to fill the vacancy. If the amendment is approved Nov. 6, the General Assembly will be authorized to develop changes in law allowing members of councils or boards to appoint one of their own members to fill the vacancy. The amendment “does not automatically” make the change, but allows the legislature to pass such legislation if it wants to, according to a description from John A. Banks Jr., director of the Virginia Division of Legislative Services. And the amendment would only apply to counties, cities and towns in which the mayor or board chairman is separately elected by the voters. For example, the amendment would not apply to the Rappahannock County Board of Supervisors, because its chairman is picked by its own members and is not elected at large by all the county’s voters. But the amendment would apply to the Town of Washington, because its voters elect the mayor separately from the rest of the council. The Virginia Municipal League, which represents localities around the state, is lobbying in favor of the change. “It makes no sense to exclude what may be your most qualified individuals from taking over the top position in the event of a vacancy,” according to R. Michael Amyx, executive director of the VML. Also according to the VML, the intent of the constitution was to prohibit persons from holding more than one public office. In Colonial times, it said, persons often held more than one office, concentrating too much power in one person. But the Constitution, it argues, already prohibits that. The amendment on the Nov. 6 ballot would simply allow the legislature to remove “outdated language,” the VML said. The second question on the ballot is: “Shall the Constitution of Virginia be amended to require a balanced State budget?” Although the state has been operating under a balanced budget procedure, it “is not clearly spelled out in the constitution,” according to a memorandum from the Virginia League of Women Voters. ‘The proposed change would add language to clearly spell out a requirement that is already implied in the constitution,” the league wrote. Randy Cook, staff attorney for the division of legislative services, said the process now requires the governor to submit a budget in which expenditures do not exceed revenues or anticipated revenues. In effect, he said, that is a balanced budget. Such language is included in the Appropriations Act, according to Mr. Banks. “A ‘yes’ vote on the ballot question is to add the balanced budget requirement to the Constitution itself,” Mr. Banks wrote. “A W vote will mean that a balanced budget will continue to be a matter or custom and legislative provisions at each legislative session.” The current constitution, approved in 1971, was last amended in 1982.

Entering October, she had only raised about $400,000, compared to Warner’s $1.9 million. By the time Harrison was nominated in May, ^ Warner, had already raised about $1 million. Warner has run the sort of race an incumbent with a large lead in the polls would run: he focuses on his record in the Senate, his support of the Reagan administration, low inflation and rosy economic picture, and his support of a strong defense and knowledge of arms control issues. But Harrison has hit Warner where he is strongest, criticizing him for accepting campaign contributions from “military corporations,” which, she claims, have overcharged the government and contributed to a bloated defense budget and increased budget deficit. Warner is a rubber stamp “as far as the military-industrial complex is concerned,” and his campaign finace reports show, she says, “the military corporations that continue to...provide us with systems that don’t work” are supporting him. For his part, Warner has denied that they are influencing him, and says he’s looking for ways to cut waste from the defense budget. Not only do they differ on issues, but Harrison, in a subtle yet clear way, draws distinctions between herself and Warner on a personal level. She describes herself as “a wife, a mother” and says “I’ve been married for 29 years.” She won’t comment on Waimer’s personal life—his two marriages, one 'into the wealthy Mellon family and the other to actress Eliza HARVEST DINNER Saturday, November 3 Sperryvtile Fire Hall Roast Turkey with trimmings, variety of vegetables & desserts, rolls, butter & beverages $6.50 adults & $3.50 children under 12 Carry out dinners from 4:30 p.m. til 5:15 p.m. JRi Dinner will be served from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tickets on sole now!

Now do you call him a conservative or a liberal? He’s our alltime big spender, our big, big spender.” As the first woman to run for the Senate with major party backing, Harrison admits she is doing something “non-traditional,” but that she is a traditional person. “I’ve lived a very traditional life in e\*ery sensei” «he said. < “Just how you picture the values that President Reagan talks about—that’s been my life. Home and family and community and volunteerism and working to make the community a better place, all those things.” A native of Detroit, Mich., Harrison married her husband, Norfolk realtor Stanley Harrison, and moved there when she was 21. It was then that she had trouble registering to vote, she recalls. The problem was that the law required persons to maintain residence for six months before they could register. After she and her husband spent a summer in Virginia Beach, they returned to Norfolk after they had already lived there before, but the sixmonth period had to begin again. She became involved in a number of local issues in the Norfolk community, she said, and worked with Democrat and former gubernatorial candidate, Henry Howell, “in the movement to open the schools” when the massive resistance movement shut them down in the late 1950s. She later worked to improve voter registration and supported civil rights legislation in the 1960s, including the federal decision requiring “one person, one vote,” she said. “I’ve always been committed to the concept that democracy requires English, that means participation.” Harrison has proposed an agenda for her Senate campaign, on environmental issues, controlling the budget deficit, improving education and arms control, among others. Her environmental proposals include improving enforcement of the Clean Air Act and better control of toxic waste disposal and storage. To bring the budget deficit under control, she said, includes seven proposals to reduce spending, and a tax reform program “to materially increase federal revenue without creating burdens for middle-class taxpayers.” She wants to contain health care costs, cut down on commodity price supports, as well as improve management and procurement procedures. In terms of tax reform, she supports a fair tax bill that would simplify the laws by establishing essentially three brackets—14, 26 and 30 percent—and eliminating tax shelters while maintaining certain deductions such as mortages and charitable contributions. Harrison and Warner differ sharply on arms control. Harrison supports a mutual, bilateral and verifiable nuclear freeze, and negotiation of a verifiable treaty banning anti-satellite weapons. She said Warner has voted to “spend us weak” by supporting vulnerable first-strike nuclear weapons at the expense of conventional ones. On other issues, Harrison sup ports the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. “The issue is not whether to have abortion or not to have abortion. There’s always been abortion. The issue is whether you want it legal or illegal, and we lived'through having illegal abortions, where thousands of women died or became sterile...because of back-alley abortionists.” She also supports the Equal Rights Amendment, but opposes a constitutional amendment for prayer in public schools. “I’m satisfied with voluntary school prayer as it is,” she said. She also opposes a constitutional amendment to balance the federal budget, saying that even if Congress approved it, “it would be years before it would be ratified.” She says something needs to be done now. “If (Warner’s) for a balanced budr get, how about voting for it noW,'” shfe' said... Despite Virginia’s tradition of conservatism, Harrison says the Commonwealth is ready for a non-traditional candidate like herself: “Virginia gave birth to a lot Of firsts.” Warner (Continued from Page 1) With President Reagan running strong in Virginia and Warner with large leads in newspaper polls (a 60 to 24 percent lead in a Richmond TimesDispatch poll last month), Warner seems like he could almost make you believe that the Republicans alone are responsible for those verdant fields and for the coming of fall itself. In fact, at the close of his stump speech at Rock Hill Farm, Warner said he’d accepted an invitation from his son, John Warner IV, to go to a party and watch a football game at the University of Virginia that night, and that he would take a break from the campaign trail to do it. It left no time for the senator to sit down for an interview that his staff had scheduled with a reporter. Like many Republicans these days, Warner is running “on his record,” which he estimates has been about 75 percent behind Reagan “and I’m proud of that.” “He’s putting America back on the road of economic recovery, and he’s made America stronger in terms of our national defense,” Warner told reporters after his Rock Hill Farm speech. Virginia’s senior senator has wielded that two-pronged approach in his race for a second Senate term against Edythe C. Harrison, the Democratic nominee and former state legislator from Norfolk who trails badly in fund raising and in the polls.

He also emphasizes lower unemployment, and his support of Reagan’s three-year, 25-percent tax cut plan that began in 1981. When asked about the growing federal budget deficit, he says he suphe calls a “down-payment” on it. Warner also says tax simplification is needed, but he wont say how he would make the system simpler. Before he decides, he says, he’ll await a study by Treasury Secretary Donald Regan — a study that will be made public after the election.

Voting is the next logical step: More than 3,000 people have signed up. Now, go vote. Zoning Is No Simple Issue To the editor. It is a fact that all of us would prefer that things were always simple. It is also a fact that we are more comfortable with things that remain the same. In the case of many of those who ask that Rappahannock’s zoning ordinance of 1973 remain in effect, I believe that these desires for simplicity and for sameness are the motivating factors. However, hardly anything is as simple as we would like, and change to meet changing conditions is both necessary and desirable. I have worked in the zoning and planning law field almost exclusively for the last four years, and practiced law for eight years before that. There are several conclusions I have come to in that time after much study, observation, and from the best teacher of all, experience. First: Zoning law is not simple. In fact, it is one of the most complicated of issues that local government must deal wit&JpdaHNRMrtmi isaieecannet.brproperly dealt wtthnnleas standards, rules, and laws which » equately address the problems. Irforder to have the proper laws, which can withstand legal challenges, and which can be definite enough to.prevent arbitrary action, you must get the best expert advice available when drawing your laws. (Richard McNear, a Rappahannock resident and farmer, has been a planner for many years, and is wellrespected throughout the state. He wrote most of Fauquier County’s zoning ordinance as their Planning Director, and Fauquier has never lost a zoning case since he has been there.) Second: Many zoning ordinances are similar in many respects. This is because most of any zoning ordinance’s bulk deals with administrative practices, definitions, and other general provisions. Since the primary factor in anv ordinance is that it must ho lorallv enforceable, those provisions which have with stood legal challenges are used as models for other ordinances. I could find similar language to that in the proposed Rappahannock Zoning Ordinance in all other competent ordinances in Virginia. The fact that there is similar language to Fauquier’s ordinance in our proposed ordinance, modified to fit Rappahannock, should be cause for confidence, not criticism. Third: Zoning ordinances must look to the future. The “head in the sand” attitude of “Wait until the development pressure gets here” will doom us to haphazard development, loss of our beautiful countryside, and extraordinarily high taxes. A reading of the Va. Supreme Court cases which deal with zoning quickly shows that zoning ordinances which try to control a development market that is already established will not withstand legal challenges. The Planning Director of Albemarle County told me recently in talking about the strip development on Route 29 north of Charlottesville, “We knew we had a problem ten years ago, but by then we were 10 years too late to do anything about it.” Nearly all persons who have spoken out on this zoning ordinance matter have said that we need to change the 1973 ordinance. I believe they are correct. The present ordinance is extremely vague as to the standards to be applied to rezoning and special permit questions, and the ordinance has been thought into question by both the Circuit Court and by the Attorney General of Virginia. The 1973 ordinance restricts, to a larger extent than necessary, certain uses in flood plains and in other zoning districts. Churches are not even allowed in certain zoning districts under the 1973 ordinance, while the new ordinance would allow churches in all zoning districts upon a showing that they would be compatible with the surrounding area. The 1973 ordinance gives too much discretion to the zoning administrator, while the proposed ordinance prescribes in much more detail what procedures and standards must be applied by the zoning administrator, and gives much of his power to the BZA and the Board of Supervisors. The proposed ordinance allows the processing, storage, and sale of agricultural products (which is our most important industry) by right in agricul<turaland conservation zones, while the *1973 ordinance Required a special permit for some oflLhese uses. Under the 1973 ordinance, no building of any kind could be built in a floodplain or within 50 feet of a floodplain, and many other uses which could safely be carried on in such an area were prohibited. The proposed ordinance allows compatible uses, and also allows accessory structures to compatible uses, as well as storage of materials and equipment upon a showing of compliance with reasonable standards. In my opinion, the extra length of the proposed zoning ordinance is necessary to have a valid and workable piece of legislation. It is better organized than the present ordinance, and a the sections which concern you. The mathe sections which conern you. The majority of the extra length comes from increased space for definitions (for more clarity), and for standards for certain uses that are more specific and less subject to arbitrary interprets uon. If we were to stay with the 1973 ordinance and then try to “fix” it, we would wind up with practically the same document as the proposed ordinance. This proposed document is the “fix” of the 1973 ordinance. Each of us may have some minor quarrel with a particular provision of the new ordinance, but as Mr. McNear said at the public hearing, zoning is the attempt to balance the desire to do anything we want with our property against the needs of the entire community for safe and compatible land uses that protect the property values of all our property. He further said that no two people would draw the line for that balance at the same place. Each of us should let the supervisors know what our quarrel with the draft ordinance is, and where it is justified, I am confident that the ordinance will be so amended, as it has already been done in many instances. But it is equally important that we let the supervisors know that we support them in their attempt to protect our interests. Due to the nature of this controversy, our silence will not be taken as approval. 1 urge you to take the time to vocally support the basic concept of this competent, and necessary, proposed zoning ordinance. FRANK REYNOLDS Washington Thanks Area Businesses i u uie euuur: On behalf of the RCHS athletic program, 1 wish to express our most sincere appreciation to two businesses in Rappahannock which provided refreshments for the District Cross Country meet held on October 26. Foster Brothers Packing House of Flint Hill and Lee’s Orchard of Washington both donated apples and apple cider for all participants. Not only do these two family businesses illustrate a strong support for our schools, but they are an example of the type of people who reside and do business in our county. Due to their generosity the meet was a big success. KELLY BRISTAL President, RCHS Varsity Club <—Our Rappahannock Heritage ] Letters To The Editor Clarifies Meeting With Senator Miller To the editor I am writing this week to clarify the front page account of the meeting between Senator Kevin Miller and myself on Oct. 19,1984. The Senator suggested that the RPAC and the citizens of Rappahannock continue working with our local officials to reach an agreement on this zoning issue. He did not say that he would not introduce a bill for a zoning referendum in Rappahannock County as the Rappahannock Newt article suggests. He did mention that he had not met with Delegate Andy Guest to actually pursue this matter but would by the time the General Assembly convenes. Ha alA> stated that ■ would W' 'interesting to see1 what IMppens in Gloucester Co. on^Nov. 6, ®here they! already have the referendum in place. The reason that the RPAC is pursuing the zoning referendum is so that the county officials working with this zoning ordinance will have a very clear picture as to what the people really want. It has become obvious that some of the planning commissioners do not want to know, as my report last week an the Wakefield meeting proves. At this time the RPAC has collected 1,050 signatures, a number equal to just less than one-third of the 3,200 registered voters of Rapp. Co. Although the referendum is not legally binding on the Board of Supervisors, it is the only accurate instrument that a free society has to use the ballot box. Why would anyone resent such an expression of freedom? Hie petitioners need this because they may not pack out each district meeting to oppose this ordinance nor will all supporters be present to speak , for it* As one descriptive writer in last ‘weeVk ‘paper pointed county has become a strategic point Detween -3he free people and£he “zoneoids. ” I encourage the public to stay envolved at this very busy time of the year and let the Planning Commission and your supervisor know what you want. RONALD FRAZIER Amissville Zoning Preserves Individual Rights To the editor. So Peter Holley doesn’t like the proposed Zoning Ordinance revision — but it is interesting that his letter last week singled out the controls it would place on junk cars. We’ve managed to live 11 years with the 1973 Zoning Ordinance, and its intended restriction on junk cars (no more than one) is stricter than what is now proposed. The basic question boils down to what is zoning all about. Mr. Holley sees “Zoneoids” out to “mess with peoples’ lives.” My own view is of a community of people trying to decide how to update joint standards of self discipline in the use of private property. I’m sure I want just as much personal freedom as Mr. Holley, but I also recognize that unrestrained use of my freedom could well encroach upon someone else’8 freedom. I see zoning as land use rules adopted by a community — not some thirel party — in order to preserve individual rights, protect property values and keep the tax rate under control. ROBERT T. DENNIS Amiss ville Thanks Local Supporters For Success To the editor The Ladies Auxiliary to the Washington Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad realized $600 from their annual Cider and Bake Sale, held October 20 and 21, the weekend of the house tour. I would like to thank all who helped make our event a success: Tom Lee for cider, apples and pumpkins; Sam Snead for cider, the Trinity Episcopal Church for allowing us a space on their parking lot; Eileen Day Realty for use of electricity; Jean Alther for contacting people of the community for donations of baked goods. Also, thanks to the people who donated and supported us so generously. We’re looking forward to making next year a bigger and better one with the support and togetherness of our community. RUTH F. CLARK President, Washington Ladies Auxiliary Can Count On Him To Tackle Massive Problem To the editor. The overriding internal problem facing our country today is the reduction of the national debt. Figures just released in Washington indicate that this year’s deficit is the second highest in history. Regardless of whether the problem is viewed as Republican or Democratic, its effects are dramatic. Of the candidates for Congress in the Seventh District, I believe Lewis Costello is much better equipped to represent us in the House of Representatives on this issue. As a Certified Public Accountant and tax specialist, Mr. Costello has the professional background and sound fiscal judgment which is representative of the conservative views on the national debt prevalent in our region. , His eight years of experience as a member of local school boards leads to his awareness of the direct effect that fiscal policy failures in Washington have on education and local government. Mr. Costello is neither a “sloganeer” nor “coattailer,” and can be counted on to tackle this massive problem with a sleeves-up and common sense approach in the House. WALTER JERVIS SHEFFIELD . Fredericksburg “I will speak ill of no man and speak all the good I know of everybody.” #— Beryamin Franklin —From Both BarrelsLook For Amendments By GEORGE BOWLES When Virginians enter their voting booths on Nov. 6, many of them may be mildly surprised and perhaps a little puzzled by what they find. As everyone knows, or should know by now, the principal questions facing the voters this year will be their choices for president and vice president, U.S. senator and a congressman to represent their districts. But also on the voting machines and absentee ballots will be two referendum questions on which the citizens will be asked to vote “yes” or “no. ” These two questions have to do with proposed amendments to the State Constitution, and as is so often the case when referendum items are offered to the voters, the questions have received almost no advance publicity. As a result, when the voter enters the booth and encounters the questions, it may be the first time he or she has ever heard of them. So it is with the two amendments on the ballot this year. In order for a proposed constitutional amendment to be placed on the ballot, it must first be passed in identical form by two sessions of the General Assembly with an intervening House of Delegates election between them. Both of this year’s questions have cleared that process, and are now ready for final approval or disapproval by the electorate. The first deals with the replacement of mayors and chairmen of the boards of supervisors in certain counties, cities and towns. On the voting machines and ballots, the question will appear as follows: “Shall the Constitution of Virginia be amended so that members of local governing bodies can be elected or appointed to vacancies in the office of mayor and board chairman? Yes or No.” The amendment is deemed necessary by its supporters because, as Article VII, Section 6 of the Constitution is now written, no member of a governing body is eligible, during the term of office for which he or she has been elected, to hold any office filled by that governing body by election or appointment. In a limited number of counties, cities and towns, the mayors and board chairmen are elected separately from' the supervisors and members of council. In those localities, if the mayor or board chairman has to be replaced for any reason, an incumbent board or council member would not be eligible to seek the vacant post. He could not do so because of the present constitutional prohibition against serving in such a post “during the term of service” for which he had been previously elected. The prohibition applies even if he vacates the office. The proposed amendment would allow localities to remove that disability and permit incumbent board and council members to seek the higher post. It does not make the change mandatory but enables the localities to adopt it if they wish on a local option basis. The amendment resolution was sponsored by Del. Joan Munford, (D-Blacksburg). If approved it would become effective on Jan. 1,1985. The second question on the ballot would settle a matter which proved to be a source of mild embarrassement to a number of state officials several years ago. The question will appear as follows: “Shall the Constitution of Virginia be amended to require a balanced state budget? Yes or No.” For years Virginia’s politicians, including members of the General Assembly, labored un uer uie wiutJijf iieiu iiuscuiituir tion that the requirement was already a part of the Constitution. Indeed, many of them would have confidently bet the plantation on it. The supposed provision was proclaimed in many a proud oration celebrating the Old Dominion’s “Constitution bound commitment” to fiscal sanity and economic conservatism. But surprise, surprise! In 1981 Sen. Elliot Schewel, (D-Lynchburg) was doing research on a related piece of legislation. To his astonishment, as well as that of his fellow lawmakers, he found that no such constitutional prohibition against deficit spending existed. To be sure, Virginia has always had a balanced budget. The requirement that it be balanced is included in each Appropriations Bill. Nevertheless Schewel dropped an amendment resolution in the hopper which was designed to plug this potential red ink leak. The rationale for the amendment’s need was the perceived danger that, down the road, Virginia lawmakers might change their conservative ways. According to this view, while up to now our legislatures have been the models of fiscal restraint, the members of some future General Assembly could . turn out to be a pack of such profligate wastrels that an iron constitutional limitation might be required to protect the populace from them. Given the fiscal temper of the Commonwealth, most observers believe that is not likely to occur until, say, about the 28th Century at the earliest. Some have also expressed concern that, by imbedding the requirement in the Constitution, the state might find itself locked into a position in which, in the event of some dire future fiscal crisis, it would be unable to act. That caveat, however, has been lightly regarded. If approved by the voters, the balanced budget amendment would take effect on July 1, 1986, the first day of the next bienniel budget period. Such are the 1984 General Assembly’s proposed contributions to George Mason’s much revised Constitution. Warner (Continued from Page 3) etna to many voters in Virginia, a right-to-work state. It was another person’s death that suddenly thrust Warner onto the campaign trail as his party’s senatorial nominee in 1978. He had lost the nomination at the GOP convention, but the party’s nominee, Richard Obenshain, was killed in an airplane crash. Warner was then picked by the (Arty’s State Central Committee, since he was the runner up at the convention and because other potential candidates withdrew. Aided by more than $1 million of his own money that year in his nomination and general election campaigns, and by actress Elizabeth Taylor, who was then his wife, Warner won by a razor-thin margin that year of about 4,700 votes, narrowly defeating Democrat Andrew P. Miller by 0.4 percent. In interviews Warner is quick to discount Ms. Taylor’s influence, and this year he said he plans to spend only $1,000 of his own money. Rarely in the campaign has Warner been on the defensive. The PAC charges Harrison raised were about the strongest attacks she has made, and they prompted a “setting the record straight” press release from his campaign. It not only rebutted that charge, but denied her charges that he has been “the biggest spender in Virginia history,” that he was against the GI Bill, or that he has “sacrificed our conventional forces and readiness to blindly fund strategic weapons.” Even Harrison’s chaises on Warner's voting record with respect to women hasn’t appeared to hurt him in polls, and it isn’t clear whether the “gender gap” will greatly benefit Harrison, the first woman to run for the Senate in Virginia with major party backing. When asked if he were worried about the women’s vote, Warner said recently, “No. I’m worried about all votes. I’m taking this campaign seriously....” Warner opposed the Equal Rights Amendment, saying the ERA’s goals are “presently incorporated into the constitution.” But he said he would support a “modified version” of the ERA. Warner, who did not re-marry after his divorce from Ms. Taylor, likes to tell about how he left home in 1944, at the age of 17, to volunteer for the U.S. Navy. He volunteered again in 1950 to serve in the Marine Corps., and served in Korea as a first lieutenant and communications officer. After getting his law degree from the University of Virgina, he served as a law clerk to a federal judge, and in private practice, before being appointed as an assitant U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. In 1969 he was appointed as under » secretary of the Navy, and served as secretary, 1972-74. He was later administrator of the American Revolution Bicentennial Administration from 1974-76, working on programs to commemorate the America’s 200th anniversary. Two years after that he was running for the U.S. Senate as a “newcomer to politics,” he said, but with only 11 weeks to prepare he won “against a very formidable adversary.” If the polls are any indication, the newcomer has established himself. “The first 40 years ofTife give us the text; the next 30 supply the commentary on it.” — Schopenhauer

Fall Gardena I 1984 Was Best Year For More Plantings In Recent Memory, Resident Says By JON HEDDLESTON B^f.h.nnu.k N«w> SUIT Writer W.H.“BilT and Frances Lyne of Gid Brown Hollow enjoyed com on the cob fresh from their garden October 23. The ears weren’t very big and there were only four of them, but they tempted the palate anyhow. Mr. Lyne is one county resident who says he’s been planting a fall garden for better than 40 years. This year, he says, was the best in some time. “My fall garden has been much better than my spring garden,” he says. “Usually, it’s just the reverse.” The fall garden could be considered a gamble, but Mr. Lyne doesn’t put all of his harvest eggs in one basket before challenging old Jack Frost. Fall crops make up his third planting of the growing season. He points to an ear of sweet corn that’s “just silkin’ out” and talks about the rows he planted in mid-July. “I gambled on corn (but it’s) the only thing I gambled on,” he says. “It takes longer to mature. ” The 90-to 100-day gestation period for corn makes it the most dubious fall planting. According to Mr. Lyne the “average” date for the first killing frost is October 20. “I’m hoping the frost is not too early,” he says, noting it’s October 25 and it hasn’t hit yet. —Rappahannock Newt Stiff Photo W. H. Lyne displays some of fall crop, the best in years, he says. Opening Meet /Awvm Dama 1 \ - -ft'' */ tion of this article). Six Rappahannock Hunt Club members were awarded their colors during the ceremony. They were: Sally Cunningham, Robert Gault, Elizabeth Haskell, Karen Kandell, Colonel (ret.) John Lyle, and Peter Weslow. Members and guests of the field then circled ceremoniously twice before departing for Fielding Mountain and beyond to begin the hunt. The hunt spanned three hours and some 30 miles. Two dry runs occurred during which no fox was sighted; a third run near Mason Mountain kicked up a fox, however. Pursuit ended when the fox lost the hounds along a long rock ledge on the property of J.W. Fletcher. “Basically, a day like today becomes a trail ride,” offered Janet Quaintance of Culpeper, who has teen a member of the Rappahan nock Hunt Club for five years. “It’s too hot, and the hounds can’t keep a scent because the trail drys quickly.” Horses and riders were visibly drained upon their return to Stonehaven following the hunt. Riders each wore the traditional wool coats of various colors despite a brilliant sun beating heavily down on horse and rider. “You have to be a seasoned rider (to take it)” Mr. Muth offered. After horses and hounds were attended to, hunt club members took to refreshments and casual conversation, most passing the remainder of a too-hot October afternoon in a shady place. Joint Masters Dahlgren and LeHew summarized the day as a success. Said Mr. LeHew: “I’m never disappointed. I’m just happy to get on a horse and get out.” Blessing Of Saint Hubert Hear our humble prayer, 0 God, for all animals, especially those in whose companionship we find joy and help. We entreat for them Thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion, gentle hands and kindly words. Make us all to be true friends of animals and to share the blessings of the merciful. Bless, 0 Lord, rider and horse and hounds that run. In their running, bless and shield these riders from danger to life and limb. May Thy children who ride and Thy creatures who carry them come to the close of the day unhurt. Bless those over whose lands the hunters hunt, and grant that no deed of theirs may cause the owners hurt and trouble. Bless all creatures who partake in this hunt and grant that they may find their true destiny under God. O God, who sanctifies all things by Thy Word, pour down Thy Blessing upon these Thy servants, their horses and their hounds. To all who shall take part in this hunt, grant protection of body and soul. Grant that thf true spirit of sportsmanship may prevail in all we do this day, through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen. May the blessing of Almighty God, The Father, and The Son and The Holy Spirit, descend upon all of us and remain with us forever. Amen. —Rappahannock Newt PhokyJon HoddieMon Tamara Carter of Culpeper joined the field on Zanna last Saturday, riding side by side with her father, David Carter. Mr. Lyne says he doesn’t know if many county residents plant fall gardens. He speculates that those who don’t probably are bored with their gardens when the time rolls around for a third planting and the weeds have retaken their stranglehold. Or, perhaps people just have other work to do, he notes. Mr. Lyne’s work in the garden, however late it may seem, is netting many returns. Besides com, the Lynes have carrots, beets, cabbage, lima beans, butter beans, turnips, three varieties of peppers, turnip salad, tomatoes, Kentucky Wonders (climbing beans), onions, okra and red rasberries. The latter, Mr. Lyne beams, he had for breakfast the morning of this report. "There’s more (yield) and a greater variety than I’ve had in several years,” he adds. Mr. Lyne also points to a good stand of cress, planted in August, that he says "needs a couple good frosts to harden (the leaves).” "Frances says we’ve had gardens this good many times,” he chuckles, adding that his wife’s memory is superior. "I always plant something.” And he always helps with the additional canning three plantings can take, too, he says. Rappahannock Nrw. Stiff Photo Beans still are sprouting in the Lynes’ fall garden.

Day mm.ro* INTERIM FINANCING One bugaboo in real estate transactions can easily crop up when there is more than one sale involved and the sale of the first property will be needed to provide the proceeds for the purchase of the second property. For example, say you have signed an agreement for the sale of your present home. The closing date is set for three months from now. You want to buy another house, but the owner wants to close in just one month from now because he is moving out of state. You will need the money from ^ille sale of your old house to finalize the purchase of your new one - BUT - there will be a'two month gap before you get that cash that you will need. Is there any way out of this dilema? There is. An experienced Realtor can often help you arrange interim financing, known as a bridge loan, to get the funds for the purchase The money is advanced by the lending institution on a short term basis. Your present home equity would be used as security for the loan. If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or drop in at EILEEN M. DAY, Realtor, The Clopton House, Washington, VA. 22747. Phone: 673-3400. We’re here to help. Sperryville Social Happenings By MRS. B. M.

The Homemaker’s Corner By FLORENCE A. VICKERS Eitcmhm Accnt Most Rappahannock gardeners have dug their sweet potato crop and are seeking for new ways to fix a casserole or side dish. This week we will look at the history of sweet potatoes, tips, preparation for cooking, buying guidelines, nutritional value, care of fresh sweet potatoes, selection, as well as recipes. Botanically speaking, sweet potatoes are from the family “ipomoea batatas” and are related to the morning glory. Sweet potatoes are true roots in contrast to Irish potatoes (which are tubers or stems) and grow four to eight inches beneath the soil. The term “yam” is a synonym for sweet potatoes and is widely used in the sweet potato trade. Actually, all yams grown in the United States are sweet potatoes and the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires that they be labeled as such. In general usage, however, the terms may be used interchangeably. History Sweet potatoes were among the many new and wonderful horticultural wonders that Columbus found when he arrived in the New World in 1492. The sweet potato, however, dates back many years before Columbus ever went to sea. In fact, the sweet potato was being cultivated by Indians in central and northwest South America before the birth of Christ. By the time Columbus arrived in the Western Hemisphere, the cultivation of sweet potatoes had spread throughout what is now Mexico, West Indies and other parts of South America. Sweet potatoes, known by the Indians of Hispaniola as “batatas,” were not cultivated in North America until after 1600. Apparently the plant was introduced in what is now the United States by explorers or travelers as they moved from Central America into the areas of southern North America. The earliest records show the sweet potato was grown in Virginia as early as 1648, approximately 40 years after tlte establishment of Jamestown. However, by the latter part of the 18th century the sweet potato was being widely grown throughout Virginia and the Carolinas and most likely in other southeastern states as well. By then it * . . a:* a had become one of the basic staple foods of the southern colonies. Sweet Potato Tips Sweet potatoes may be cooked in their jackets (skins) to protect flavor, vitamin C and natural sugar. The skins of boiled or baked sweet potatoes slip off easily after cooking. It is better to cook yams quickly and to serve them immediately in order to preserve vitamin C. To cook without jackets, peel just before cooking. It should be kept in mind that when peeling fresh sweet potatoes one can expect approximately eight percent waste for large sized, ten percent for a medium sized and 13 percent for a small sweet potato. When mashing sweet potatoes, small amounts of milk or fruit juices may be added to enhance flavor and to make a better texture. A handy aid is freezing cooked sweet potatoes, either with or without their jackets on. To help control darkening and maintian natural color, sweet potatoes without the jackets may de dipped in a solution of one part lemon juice to six parts water or in an ascorbic acid solution, available under such brand names as “Fruit Fresh” or “Mrs. Wages.” Cooked mashed sweet potatoes may be frozen in premeasured portions. Then when a recipe calls for cooked mashed sweet potatoes, the cook need turn only to the freezer for the main ingredient of a delicious pie or other sweet potato dish. Preparation for Cooking Sweet potatoes are one of the most easily prepared of all vegetables and a variety of dishes may be started by using one of these basic cooking methods. To Boil: Fresh sweet potatoes may be boiled with the skin on, which is probably the easiest method. Begin by washing and trimming the sweet potato, allowing one medium sized potato per serving. Place in enough boiling salted water to cover the potatoes. Cover the pan and allow to boil for 20 to 30 minutes; drain and peel. Cut large yams in half to save boiling time. To Bake: Another basic cooking method is to bake sweet potatoes in an oven. Again, wash and trim the sweet potatoe, being careful to pat dry; then slightly grease with shortening; arrange on a baking sheet or aluminum ' 'Lumertodt Rfottfiaittm^ie'&ist fThe P|aw| in the Bull Run-chum was>^i<‘‘ 4 ' hnpOrvantto^ 8th century tr^yejers Jis its export} bare rock is such an easily recognizable landmark.

SWEET POTATOES foil; bake in a hot oven (400 degrees) for approximatley 15 minutes; reduce the temperature to 375 degrees and bake medium sized sweet potatoes for 45 minutes and larger roots for 60 minutes. Hiey are done when soft upon squeezing. Many recipes call for cooked sweet potatoes, meaning either baked or boiled. Canned sweet potatoes will also fill this need. They generally are smaller in diameter because of their better canning qualities. Six to eight canned sweet potatoes are approximately the equivalent of four medium fresh sweet potatoes. Buying Guidelines When purchasing fresh sweet potatoes, the consumer should select clean, smooth and well shaped roots that are firm, dry, bright and fresh looking. Uncured fresh sweet potatoes are those marketed during the harvesting season, which normally occurs in late summer and early fall. Those not marketed between August and November are stored under controlled temperature and humidity conditions and are marketed from late November until the harvest season begins again in late August. Cured sweet potatoes are every bit as tasty as the uncured ones and generally are much sweeter. Canned sweet potatoes are available in vacuum-packed containers (without any liquid), in syrup pack or in solid pack (tightly packed with little liquid). They may be whole, mashed or in cut pieces. frozen sweet potatoes are found packaged whole or half, peeled or unpeeled, baked, stuffed in a shell, sliced, french cut, diced, mashed and sometimes even formed into patties or cakes. Dehydrated sweet potato flakes may be available in some areas. They may be reconstituted 5$ simply adding water as one would in reconstituting dried milk, cereals, etc. Nutritional Value Sweet potatoes are one of the most nutritious foods available in the supermarket today. They are especially high in vitamin A, providing more than twice the recommended daily adult requirement in one medium sweet potato. The same serving also provides over a third of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C, a tenth of the iron, a tenth of the thiamine and high levels of other important vitamins and minerals. Comparing a baked sweet potato in its skin with a baked white potato in its skin, we find the sweet potato has four times as much calcium, 25 percent more iron, approximately the same level of vitamin C and only 47 more calories. A baked white potato has only a trace of vitamin A whereas a baked SWEET POTATOES sweet potato has almost 9,000 international units of that important vitamin. Needless to say, the sweet potato is an excellent source of food energy. Care of Fresh Sweet Potatoes Always remember that fresh sweet potatoes are extremely perishable if mishandled. After bringing them home from the market, handle carefully since they bruise easily. Brusising leads to discoloration of the root and can cause the sweet potato to rot. Sweet potatoes should not be stored in the refrigerator nor in any area where the temperature drops below 60 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Yams are susceptible to cold injury which leads to an undesirable taste when cooked. A dry unrefrigerated storage bin is excellent for keeping sweet potatoes until ready for preparation. On the average they can be stored two months. Selection Two types of sweet potatoes are available in varying amounts the year round. Moist sweet potatoes, sometimes called yams, are the most common type. They have orange colored flesh and are very sweet. The true yam is the root of a tropical vine which is not grown commercially in the United States. Dry sweet potatoes have a pale colored flesh, low in moisture. Their production has dwindled rapidly. Look for Well shaped, firm sweet potatoes with smooth, bright, uniformly colored skins, free from signs of decay. Because they are more perishable than Irish potatoes, extra care should be used in selecting sweet potatoes. Avoid: Sweet potatoes with worm holes, cuts, grub injury, or any other defects which penetrate the skin; this causes waste and can readily lead to decay. Canning Sweet Potatoes. Dry Wash sweet potatoes. Sort for size. Boil or steam until partially soft (20 to 30 minutes). Skin. Cut in pieces if large. In glass jars: Pack hot sweet potatoes tightly to 1 inch of top, pressing gently to fill spaces. Add no salt or liquid. Adjust jar lids. Process in pressure canner at 10 pounds pressure (240 degrees F.) Pint jars - 65 minutes; Quart jars - 95 minutes. As soon as you remove jars from canner, complete seals if necessary. Sweet Potatoes, Wet Pack Wash sweet potatoes. Sort for size. Boil or steam just until skins slip easily. Skin and cut in pieces. In glass jars: Pack hot sweet potatoes to 1 inch of top. Add 1/2 traspoon salt to pints, ! teaspoon to quarts. Cover with soiling water or medium Syrup, leaViilJf 1 inch space at top of jar. Adjust jar lids. Process in pressure canner at 10 pounds pressure (240 degrees F). Pint jars -.55 minutes; Quart jars - 90 minutes. As soon as you remove jars from canner, complete seals if necessary. Freezing Sweet Potatoes Select sweet potatoes that have been cured. Sort according to size and wash. Cook until almost tender in water, in steam, in pressure cooker or in the oven. Cool at room temperature. Peel potatoes; cut in halves, slices, or mash. If desired, to prevent darkening dip whole sweet potatoes or slices for five seconds in a solution of one tablespoon citric acid or 1/2 cup lemon juice to one quart of water. To keep mashed potatoes from darkening, mix two tablespoons orange or lemon juice with each quart of mashed potatoes. Pack into containers; leaving 1/2 inch head space. Seal and freeze. YAMS Recipes Because sweet potatoes are one of the most versatile and economical vegetables available to the menu planner, you can let your imagination almost run wild. Yams can be mashed, sliced and served whole, stuffed or in balls. They can be used to make biscuits, breads, muffins, croquets, cakes, pies, custards, puddings, cookies and even ice cream. What other vegetable can be served as part of a main dish casserole, side dish, dessert or snack? The natural goodness of sweet potatoes can also be accented with a variety of spices, fruits, nuts and sweeteners like molasses and honey. Candied yams are probably the most popular sweet potato dish served, but a new treat is fast gaining favor* French Fried Sweet Potatoes.

RCHS Seniors Explore Colleges Via Bus Trip By JAMES T. FUTRELL, JR. RCHS Director of Guidance On Friday, October 19, 38 seniors from Rappahannock County High School journeyed to the campus of Bridgewater College in Bridgewater, Va. in hopes of obtaining information and insight as to college life. Upon arrival and greeting by the registrar and director of admissions, we attended a seminar on the curricular available. We were then escorted in groups of six to 10 through the dormitories, academic buildings and classrooms. When the tour was completed, we were invited to lunch in the college din mg room. Excitement was high and the food a welcome treat. Our next tour stop was at James Madison University in Harrisonburg. There we attended the showing of a film depicting the early days of the college to its present stage as a university. We were then taken on a walking tour of the campus by a senior tour guide and told of the various availabilities of housing, majors and other numerous amenities. Our students were given insight and asked for input through a survey. The response was rewarding and we felt our day was most successful.

STOKES, CHAIRMAN Emergency Services Team Talks Drugs With Science Students Emergency Services technician Mary Bailey and shock-trauma technician Teddy Hannon discussed life-saving drugs and emergency procedures October 26 when they met with four sixth-grade science classes at the elementary school. The all-day visit by the volunteers from Washington Fire and Rescue Services was initiated by Bailey’s daughter Marilyn, who is a student in one of Greg Drescher’s morning science classes. Drescher said the class was discussing drugs in general: over-thecounter, prescription and how drugs are beneficial and harmful. Drescher said there was high interest among the students, possibly the result of television and normal exposure. "(Students) are still at a stage where there’s total questioning (about drugs),” Drescher said. "They really want to know, *What is it?*” “It’s most important children know what drugs are and how they are used,” Bailey said, who also confirmed interest on the part of students. November 1, students are scheduled to learn more about the dangers of drug abuse, when Bob Trainer of Rappahannock Family Guidance Services is a guest speaker. —1», > Newt Pboto/Joa HeJJbiW Greg Drescher’s 6th-grade science morning class poses.

Wakefield Wins Soccer Tournament, rield Hockev Teams Win m By HELEN RUISI Kawahanmck New* Cootrtfevtin* Writer The Wakefield Owls captured both the regular season and tournament titles of the newly formed Delaney Athletic Conference last Saturday with wins over Emmanuel and Seton Schools. This was the first season of the conference which was formed last year by Pete Westhoff, the athletic director of Seton School Tlie Owls were seeded first in the conference, and their wins Saturday ended the varsity soccer season with a 10-2-1 record overall and 6-0 record within the league. The tournament took place at the Parkside School in Manassas. In the semi-finals, Wakefield played Emmanuel and Seton took on Word of Life School. The Owls cruised to an easy 8-0 victory in their first contest with a pressuring offense and defense over a weaker Emmanuel team. Seton also had an easy time with Word of Life in the semi-final match. Alter the semi-final games, the teams had a lunch break and recuperated for the championship game and consolation game. The tournament final proved to be the best game of the year within the conference. The Owls were able to overcome a fighting Seton School in double overtime by a 3-2 margin. David Rowzie paced the Owls and was the hero of the day for the Owls as Rowzie registered all three goals for his team. From the start the game was fastpaced and hard-fought. Seton was able to control the flow of the game in the first half, and they scored the first goal off a headball that floated into the penalty area. The Owls managed to even the score at 1-1 before the end of the first half, but the half was definitely won by Seton and the Owls were lucky to be tied. The second half, however, belonged to Wakefield. The Owls controlled the play of the game and passed effectively in taking the lead at 2-1. •Just as Seton looked ready to fold, they scored on another headball in front of the goal. The game ended in a deadlock, and overtime was necessary. In the first overtime period, neither team was able to produce a goal. In the second overtime, the Owls took the kick off and scored right away. The victory was by far the Owls’s biggest and most exciting of the season. An all-conference team will be named later as well as most valuable player of the tournament. Coach Ulrich Maeyer of the Owls said that Saturday’s game was definitely “real competition”, and he is justifiably proud of his team’s performance. Last week, Wakefield’s varsity and junior varsity field hockey teams, The Hooters, journeyed to Middleburg to face Notre Dame Academy; and won a varsity match for the first time in the team’s history. Wakefield and Notre Dame were facing each other for the second time this season; the earlier matches had bbth ended in unsatisfactory 1-1 ties. While both teams were determined to break the deadlock with a victory, the Hooters’ drive and determination payed off. In the varsity match, the Notre Dame girls scored a goal within the first five minutes of play. Later in the first half, the Hooters evened up the score and the tie held well into the second half. Finally, Wakefield’s Nancy Massie scored her second goal of the day, and the varsity game ended with Wakefield’s winning 2-1. The junior varsity team, encouraged by the varsity win, defeated Notre Dame 1-0. Beginning player Chris Bronson scored Wakefield’s goal. Hockey Coach Barbara Todd is very proud of her girls, but sayB that the play was no less than she expected all year.

4 Walking Through Rappahannock Rappahannock News PtnftVJane Bangley A group of about 30 people hiked their way through Rappahannock on the way to Washington, D.C. last week. The “Walk for the Earth” began on April 1 at Point Reyes National Seashore about 30 miles north of San Francisco. “The purpose of the walk is to stop and talk to people along the way about*ecological sanity, peace, what people think about the earth, and about the possibility of a nuclear war,” said Water Sadauskas. There were people in the group from age 18 to 66. Pictured are (1-r), Joe Schetter, Water Sadauskas, Leslie Goodwoman, John Montrose, Hal Brill, and Andria Raffel. Raffel is holding a human rights staff given to the group by native Americans who are trying to practice their religion in prison. Soccer Team Takes Second In Tourney Rappahannock High’s soccer team ended the season on a high note last Saturday: The team earned runners-up honors and brought home four trophies. The soccer team participated in the St. Ann’s Belfield Invitational Tournament, which took place near Charlottesville. RCHS played twice during the four-team tourney. The first game, which lauched them into the championship game, was not decided until eight minutes into sudden-death overtime, when Lucky McCoy booted in the only score of the contest, a 1-0 decision. The Panthers had taken a tough Western Albemarle '“'team. At 2:30, the championship match began with host school St. Ann’s. St. Ann’s had not played Saturday morning; they won their first match on Friday night.

Senator John Warner has proven that he has what it takes to be a strong, effective Senator. His years of experience and commitment to excellence have resulted in strong achievements for Virginia and our country. John Warner speaks to the issues: Economic Recovery and N^w Jobs “Together we haveniadt great strides down the roadto >economic recovery. Inflation has gone down from 13% to below 4%, interest rates are down from 21% to \ 12.5%, employment is up, and personal taxes have been reduced. I won’t be satisfied, however, until we bring the Federal deficit under control and realize full recovery Working for World Peace John Warner has worked to create a firm foundation for a more peaceful world. As Secretary of the Navy, John Warner went to the Soviet Union and negotiated an agreement to reduce the risk of confrontation between the U.S. and Soviet Navies. As Senator, John Warner authored and passed legislation to improve "hotline” communications with the Soviets, and he introduced legislation to mutually and verifiably reduce nuclear weapons. John Warner stands for a strong national defense. Improving Education , “No investment we can make is more important than quality educa- * tion for our children. I support excellence in education and a return to the basics. We’ve passed a math 1 and science bill, and we’re seeing ' progress in reading and better school discipline. I voted for increased federal assistance with less federal direction and more power to state and local school officials!’ Crime Prevention "Did you know the rate of crime has been reducedfor two consecutive years?

Costello (Continued from Page 1) campaign workers admitted an inaccuracy in a radio advertisement about the most controversial of those issues — the involuntary sterilization of the mentally ill. The ad attacked Slaughter for opposing a bill which would have repealed part of the legislation providing for involuntary sterilizations. What the ad did not say is that Slaughter voted for the bill alter it was amended by the Senate. Costello campaign manager Tom Vandever said Costello supports the use of involuntary sterilization —but only as a last resort. Slaughter’s record indicates that he supported the use of involuntary sterilization in much broader terrms, such as for epileptics, said Mr. Vandever. Reports filed by both candidates indicate Costello and Slaughter have waged the most expensive campaign ever for the 7th District seat. Costello said he has raised $200,000 so far, Slaughter about $390,000. In an interview last Friday, Costello expressed his positions on specific issues. His eapsulized comments follow: • B-l bomber: Costello said his view of the development of the aircraft is “guarded” because of the secrecy about it. He said there are strong suspicions it is already outmoded and questions about how well it works. But if the aircraft proves not to be obsolete and performs properly, he said he Would support its development. • MX Missile: The candidate said he supports development of the missile but said it is still an “open issue” whether it is worth the money required to deploy it, especially given the defense weaknesses inherent in keeping the missiles in silos. • “Star Wars:” Costello said he supports research into further nuclear “possibilities” until we can come up with a freeze on nuclear weapons which is bilateral and verifiable with inspections. • The Arms Race: Costello said he does not believe in the build-down theory. He believes the country’s emphasis should be on a second-strike capability rather than focusing on nuclear superiority. • The Middle East: “We should only take up a position which can be defended or (become involved in a situation) where we know the sacrifice is not for naught,” said Costello. “We have seen no action except Grenada in support of our foreign policy and certainly we are taken much less seriously than NOTICE The Planning Commission of Rappahannock County Virginia, will hold a meeting in each of the following 5 Districts of the County: Nov. 1 - 7:30 P.M. - Hampton Dist. - Washington Courthouse Nov 15 - 7;30 P.M. - Stonewall Dist. - Mt. Lebanon Church Dec. 3 - 7:30 P.M. - Jackson Dist. - Amissville Fire Hall Dec. 11 - 7:30 P.M. - Piedmont Dist. - Sperryville Fire Hall Interested citizens are encouraged to attend their District meeting at the time and place listed above in order to provide input concerning the proposed 1984 Zoning Ordinance of Rappahannock County, Virginia.

STOKES, CHAIRMAN in any other time in history as far as our negotiating ability” because of incidents such as the repeated successful terrorist attacks against the U.S. military forces in the Middle East. He recognizes the need for stability in the Arab states, supports economic and military aid to Israel and opposes recognition of the PLO as the official representative of the Palestinian people. • Central America: The U.S. should follow a policy of intervening in a country’s affairs only when there is an invasion of foreign troops — not simply because we do not like the type of leadership a country has, said Costello. “I would support continued presence in El Salvador simply because there is no easy way out," he added. • Relations With USSR: He supports a policy of continued non-confrontation with the Soviets. We should capitalize on “soft spots” such as Poland which are reaching out and help them resist the expansion of the Soviet bloc, he said. • Import Quotas: In general, Costello said the U.S. should reciprocate in kind with countries which discriminate against the U.S. and then negotiate the situation down. He favors import quoesO. if 74 Coufify C?r>«r(Q I (jtnc L)Vman * Ewell St. 253-5942 The Plains .

He believes a majority of people believe the decision should be left to the woman and her doctor. Personally, he said he supports abortion only in cases of rape, incest, malformed fetus or when there is lifethreatening danger to the mother. • Equal Rights Amendment: “I would vote for the ERA amendment. It’s time has come,” he said. • Balanced Budget: Costello said he would vote for a balanced budget amendment. • Social Security: “I believe that this system and not national defense is the ticking economic time bomb,” he said. Official predictions of the size of our elderly population fall far short of the real situation which will face the country soon, he said. He supports a gradual increase in the age at which someone is eligible for retirement benefits. • Medicare: Costello said we are not seeing the results from the program that we would like. At the same time, he believes something should be done to control costs. He said he has no Building? • Paint • Lumber • Millwork • Hardware Complete One-Step BUILDING SUPPLY Warrenton Building Material Co., Inc. on the By-Pass, Warrenton 347-1400 easy answer to either situation. • Taxes: Costello said he opposes a tax hike unless the money was to be used to reduce budget deficits. • Entitlement programs: "We need to cut out cheaters and make the system more efficient by constantly monitoring the qualifications of those who receive federal assistance,” he said. • Agriculture: We need stable price policies to ensure fanners can make a living, he said. • School prayer: Costello said he believes in adherence to the classic separation of church and state and opposes a constitutional amendment on school prayer. Frazier (Continued from Page 1) pleted tours of duty in Korea and Vietnam. He spent four and a half years in Asia and Japan (three years as a civilian), three years in the Middle East and nine months in Central America as an Air Force detachment commander. He served nearly 28 yean in the Air Force; inactive duty accounted for only six of those years, he said. After months marching alone on the campaign trail, Frazier believes his "star has risen.” He said voters know who he is and are beginning to know what he stands for. He attributed this to "fair, unbiased treatment” from the media. “People have looked at me, winked, and said, ‘Good for you’,” he said. The 59-year-old candidate has gotten his message out on a slim budget and a strident campaign. "I’ve got $319.90 left in my checkbook,” he chuckled, noting that other than a $5 contribution from Pete McCoy, his barber in Charlottesville, he has financed the campaign himself. Frazier said he anticipates spending $4,000. To get on the ballot, the independent garnered nearly 1,500 signatures verified by the state Board of Elections. To qualify for the 7th District race, he needed 1,106. Beyond joking about a modest budget, however, the candidate is dead serious. He said he’s "head and shoul A Line Of Credit That’s On The House.

Moreover, he’s convinced he can accomplish more on Capitol Hill. “I can’t think of a better person to do it than an independent,” he said. The “it” encompasses what Frasier believes needs to be done about the issues, among them: • Defense: Frazier said the government should “press on” with the B-l bomber. He said it’s needed to replace aging B-158 and to fill the gap while the Stealth bomber is being developed. Frazier said the MX missile is needed and he’d give the go ahead. In addition, he responded “absolutely, positively” to President Reagan’s proposed “Star Wars” defense system, Frazier said war has moved from the land to the sea to the air, and space is the next step. Frazier said he would stand with President Reagan in regard to nuclear arms. “I’m a firm believer in peace through strength. If a bully thinks he can take you he’s going to try,” he said, adding his opinion that the Soviets are an “international bully.” • Foreign affairs: In the Middle East, Frazier said he would “Get our people out.” He advocates listening and taking cues from Israel, which he called the area’s leader in power and stability. “Israel could control anything in the area short of Russia rolling in,” he said. Frazier said the U.S. can find strength in trade with Arab nations; it need not establish military strength in the region other than fully backing Israel. *The Soviets won’t risk war with us,” he said. r razier saia uentral America would “have to solve their own problems.” He said the U.S. should help only if it’s mutually beneficial. If no human rights policies are adopted, it’s their problem, he said. He said there were exceptions: The U.S. should stand by countries such as Grenada and El Salvador. “Sit down, shut up and keep your feet off the furniture” is the Way Frazier would negotiate with the Soviets, he said. “Reagan understands what we’re up against.” Frazier said he would not use food as a strategic weapon. “I think if we have it to sell it should be sold. (Food) is about the only thing on which we get a return.” In regard to import quotas on automobiles and steel, Frazier said he would impose strict ones to protect American jobs. “We must realize the mindset of the Japanese. They still look at America as the John Waynes of the universe ” he said. Frazier opts for no free trade that’s not "mutually beneficial.” He said protectionism has been the norm for countries other than America for years. He said that while he was in Japan in 1971, a Ford Thunderbird that cost $7,000 in the states was priced at $21,000 there. “They’ve had a protection apparatus all the time,” he said. Frazier said it was “ludicrous” to take jobs from Americans and ask them to bear the financial burden of the world through their taxes. • Abortion: Frazier opposes abortion in all cases other than the “life of the mother, who probably has responsibility to her husband, children or society.” With reservation, Frazier would allow abortions in instances of a malformed fetus. He said that decision should be made by parents with guidance from their physician and their religion. In instances of rape or incest, Frazier said, “I see no virtue in taking an innocent life as reciprocal or vengeance for a crime committed by another.” Frazier said in no case did he wish to drive abortion back into alleys. He said he believes life begins with conception, and that more educational and counseling opportunities should be made available. Frazier added that he is against anything he considers an attack on the family as an institution. He tied abortion into the larger question of morality: Fornication and copulation outside of marriage is a sin, he said. The candidate called pornography “as dangerous as illicit drugs.” He said it should be defined, then eliminated by \ law. He said the elimination of pornography would not be a threat to freedom of speech or the press. “(Pornography) leads to murders and (indescribable crimes against women. It can be traced back,” he said. • Equal Rights Amendment: Frazier said he would support the Equal Rights Amendment if the word “sex” were changed to “gender” and if women would not be drafted or treated the same as men under combat conditions. • The Federal Deficit: Frazier said he’d increase government revenue and decrease government Bpending to eliminate the federal deficit and balance the budget.

Independent Report Says Elderly Virsinians Got Less Under Current Administratinn Editor’s note: bonald W. Stone is secretary/treasurer of the Vircinia State Council of Senior Citisens. He lives in Annandale. This article is condensed from The Virginia, Forum, the newsletter of a nonpartisan, non-profit, educational organization of the same name. The organisation is located in Urbanna, Va., and can be contacted by phone (202) 387-6448 or by mail: Forum, P.O. Box 60, Urbanna, Va. 23175. Donald Stone also can be contacted at (703) 573-3055. This report is copyright 1984 by The Virginia Forum. By Donald W. Stone Polls show that elderly voters in Better, Worse, Same? the Old Dominion are much more likely than younger Virginians to vote against Ronald Reagan in 1984. This ironic rejection of America’s senior citizen president does not require a complicated explanation. The elderly have simply asked themselves the question that candidate Rfeagan posed to voters in 1980: “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” For many of Virginia’s senior citizens the answer is a resounding, “No. ” Four government statistics tell the story: • 6,649 fewer elderly Virginians receive food stamps than when President Reagan took office. Anna Fincham: “/ think that I'm about the same. I know the food is no cheaper, and the taxes are no cheaper, but none of my benefits have been reduced.” • 10,496 elderly Virginians have lost Medicaid coverage under the current Administration. • 1.7 million fewer meals have been served to the Commonwealth’s senior citizens under the federal food commodities program during Reagan’s term. • In all, 26,786 fewer elderly state residents are participating in the 12 federal programs created to aid the elderly. These statistics, gathered by the National Council of Senior Citizens, compare the impact on Virginians 65 and older of policies in effect when Reagan took office with the outcome in succeeding years. Alice Pullen: “I'm worse off. All of my bills, like insurance, have gone tlfft 99 up. Older Virginians are more dependent on federal programs than any other age group to maintain a decent standard of living. They are, for example, highly dependent on Social Security for their economic security. Over 50 percent of older Americans rely on Social Security for more than half of their income, and 20 percent rely on Social Security for virtually all of their income. Virginia’s Social Security recipients have received $146 million less under Reagan than they would have under policies in effect when the President took office. Older Virginians also depend Minnie Foster: ‘Tin about the same. We don’t get anymore from the government than we did.” heavily on federal government programs for assistance in combatting the soaring costs of health care. Medicare is the primary health care program aiding older Americans. Health needs of the elderly poor are provided for by Medicaid. Both programs have been reduced under the Reagan Administration, with $210 million (five percent) cut from the Medicare program in Virginia and almost $40 million (seven percent) from Medicaid. Elderly women and minorities in Virginia have suffered disproportionately from these cuts, because they have unusually low income. (In 1982 the median income for elderly Doris Jennings: “Benefits have been reduced because Medicaid has been taken away from people who own any real estate. And if you have over $1,500 in the bank you can’t get funeral benefits either. We’re wondering if it’s really worth the trouble to go vote.” white women was $5,700 nationwide. For elderly black women it was $3,900. The median income for elderly black men was $5,900. This compares with a median income of $12,387 for Americans aged 25 to 64.) Many of the elderly depend on a variety of federal programs to maintain an adequate standard of living. Elderly Virginians have seen their Food Stamp benefits decline by seven percent ($4 million) under Reagan. Subsidized housing benefits were curtailed by almost a third ($3 million). Commodities for the Elderly program under the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been cut by 17 percent ($600,000).

Re* 937-43R8 ‘ Frazier (Continued from Page 12) to work, Frazier would support high import tariffs. To control inflation, he’d install wage and price controls. Frazier said he’d increase personal taxes only as "a last resort,” but pointed to corporations and the wealthy who pay little or no taxes as sources of more revenue. Frazier is against a flat personal tax, which he said is not fair to the poor. • Social Issues: Social Security is a “dead issue,” Frazier said. “It’s in good or bad shape depending on who you talk to.” He said Social Security must and will continue. In regard to entitlement programs, Frazier said people take advantage of them. He’d look for a way to keep people with middle and upper incomes out of entitlement programs. He also would base entitlement on need, “not just the fact that people are entitled to it,” he said. Frazier is for a “simple, fair tax system. Everybody must pay their share,” he said in regard to taxes and tax reform, especially the “giants” of industry. The government has lost $100 billion (from industry) since 1961,” he said. • Agriculture: Small farmers need help, corporate farmers don’t, Frazier said. To protect family farms, Frazier would ‘insure corporations cannot produce food at a loss for the benefit of tax relief.” He said the corporate farms that don’t care if they make a profit or not force family farms into bankruptcy. • School Prayer: A “Southern Baptist,” Frazier called silent prayer in schools an “ideal solution.” His main objection to the issue: “The fact that they’ve said we can’t.” Slaughter (Continued from Page 1) Since he won the GOP nomination, Slaughter’s fight has become only more intense. In Tuesday’s general election, he faces Winchester attorney Lewis M. Costello, a Democrat, and Independent Robert E. Frazier, of Earlysville, for a two-year term in House of Representatives. Slaughter says Costello, through radio advertising, has raised and distorted the record on an issue unrelated to the congressional campaign: The involuntary sterilization of mentally retarded people in Virginia. Since Oct. 19, the Costello campaign has broadcast radio ads which state that Slaughter, who served 196878 as a Democrat in the Virginia House of Delegates, repeatedly voted to create and not to repeal laws which allow involuntary sterilization. In a prepared statement, released Saturday, Slaughter said: “My opponent’s radio ads lead listeners to believe Virginia first adopted a sterilization law in 1962 and abolished such law in 1974. This is not true. “Let’s set the record straight. An involuntary sterilization law has been on the books since 1924 and is in effect today. Involuntary sterilization was not abolished in 1974 but was continued in 1974 and again in 1981 — when French Slaughter was not in the state legislature. In 1981, that bill passed the House of Delegates by a vote of 95 to 2. “Lew Costello has played fast and loose with the facts on this subject. What can you expect from him on other issues? “This subject has become the main Eileen M.

When you know how these ads have distorted the facts, you have to question Costello’s credibility on other issues. ” Slaughter’s campaign has devoted a great deal of time recently to defending the candidate on those votes. Costello has also criticized Slaughter’s votes for legislation supporting Virginia’s “massive resistance” to public school desegregation in the late 1950s and early 60s. During a debate in Ashland last week, Slaughter responded to a question about those votes: “When you look back on issues or events that occurred many years ago you may feel differently or may feel you should have acted differently, but I voted for what I thought was in the best interests of Virginia ... I cannot change the vote, of course, but I think times have changed ... I think we are making very substantial progess today in the public schools and I have always supported public education.” Slaughter, 59, has stressed his legislative experience, his support for a strong national defense, his fiscal conservatism and his alliance with fellow Republicans on the ballot Tuesday — President Ronald Reagan and U.S. Sen. John W. Warner, both very popular in the 7th District. In an interview last week, Slaughter said he represents the district’s conservative values. Asked about his leadership abilities, the Republican said: “I’m running for this office because I represent the way people think ... (If elected,) I must take that and apply it to legislative matters. “When you give a man the opportunity to enact legislation, you are going to expect him to make judgments on the specifics,” based on the constituents’ values. “I would not aspire to be a leader fcrtftdistoMMvsre'l WMnot compatible ■nth tha majority nf tha panplo " During last week’s interview, Slaughter was asked to address specific issues. His capsulized comments follow: • MX missile, B-l bomber: He supports deployment of both. “I’m speaking from what I see now. We have missile systems that are becoming obsolete. If we have the new technology to replace them, I’m in favor of modernizaton ... As to whether the new weapons are what they should be to replace old weapons, it seems to me that the widely held view, in and out of the military, is that the weapons are feasible and should be deployed.” Nov. 6 It’s your civic duty Jxappafjannocfe i^etos • “Star Wart:” He supports the president’s proposal for defense weapons deployed in space to destroy enemy missiles fired at the U.S. “I would favor the research. If it looks like it’s feasible to develop the very effective defense mechanism, I’m in favor of it — if it’s economically and technologically feasible ... If this defense is largely effective against incoming missiles, the defense may have an advantage. That’s good for the chances of peace and a far greater deterrent to the beginning of nuclear war than we now have.” • The Amu Race: “I mjust as concerned as anyone is about the problem of nuclear arms in the world . . . We ought to stay in touch with the Soviets to see what might be practical grounds for talks. I believe normal diplomatic channels are the most effective. You can talk about meetings (between heads of state), but meetings in themselves may not do any good. That’s all very visible, but the main thing is to use whatever means are most practical.” • Nuclear Freese: He opposes a “freeze” in the development of nuclear weapons. “I think we would be the only one to freeze anything.” Slaughter said the Soviets have never, in previous negotiations, agreed to satisfactory verification. “Is it verifiable? Could we have on-site inspections? What would happen if there were a violation? What sanctions would there be for enforcement?” • The Middle East: “Israel is a valued friend ... in a region that is important for its location and mineral wealth. We’ve suffered grievous casualties there . . . We should always be willing to lend a hand, but the problems in the Middle East are so com-. plex, so volatile, so fragmented that no government is able to control much more than a small portion of the region. I donrth*tewny>fort«dk far lasting * paaaa.ia4h> Middle Fat ... But, 4 ■ doubt if the United States can influence events in Lebanon to any substantial degree . . . We need to watch the situation closely, but I basically don’t see that deployment of U.S. armed forces in the Middle East is going to be helpful.” • Central America: “It is certainly appropriate” for the U.S. to send economic aid, weapons and military supplies and military advisors to Central American nations which “want to stay free of communist domination,” he said. • Agriculture: “Agriculture needs free markets and a drop in interest rates. Basically I think what most fanners want and what would be best would be the free market determining prices. Agriculture is different from so many other businesses in so many ways. A single former has no influence cm the- market . . . Once people leave the form not many go back. We’ve already gotten below where we should be in the number of people involved in forming.” w nuui tiuu. a am ujipuocu w auui • tion except in cases of rape, incest, a malformed fetus or serious danger to the mother’s life. I am opposed to federal funding for abortion except in those cases. I would favor a constitutional amendment to remove federal courts from jurisdiction in abortion cases, leaving the decision to the states, as was the case before the Supreme Court decision,” legalizing abortion in 1973. • Equal Rights Amendment: “I don't like the proposed constitutional amendment ... I have always been very supportive of equal pay for equal work.” Slaughter said he opposes ERA because it has the potential to require drafting women for combat duty. "I don’t think the constitution should prohibit Congress from drafting men only.” • A Balanced Budget Amendment: He supports it. “I think Congress needs that kind of restraint.” • Prayer in Schools: “I support a constitutional amendment to permit it. .. The decision of when and how would be determined by local school officials . . . The amendment I support simply says it’s not unconstitutional to have voluntary prayer in public schools. It’s not offensive to anyone.” • Taxes: ‘'Tax increases should be a matter of last resort... Mr. Mondale is wrong when he says tax increases are needed to balance the budget.” Slaughter supports some form of “tax simplification,” which would retain a progressive scale but would make compliance simpler. “Some people say it can’t be done. I say it can ... If a congressman sees this rising tide of public sentiment, he should pitch in and do the best he can.” ON ELECTION DAY GO TO THE POLLS and VOTE THE STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET — LIKE THIS— SAMPLE BALLOT GENERAL ELECTION Tutsdoy, November 6, 1984 President and Vice President | | MPUBUCAN PARTY (Do not mark this box.
