The letter, which was signed by RHS President Vinca Hannon, requests copies of the written records of all animals eothanatiaed in the county’s new gas chamber; that REUS be permitted to inspect the new chamber with a veterinarian and a state animal-control officer, that the Sheriffs Department become more involved in animal control mhd reposts of cruelty to animals until “the county provides the required duly sworn, trained and uniformed animal control officer,” that RHS and the supervisors try harder to wash together doedy and share all informa; tfcm that can be mutually benefit the cause of animal welfere.

Last year seven people lost their fives on Virginia highways during the Christmas holiday period and seven more died during the New Year holiday period. State police say K is particularly important that motorists remain alert and drive with caution not only it times of heavy traffic, but in clear weather, with light traffic and the best of driving conditions. It is critical, state police say, that motorists plan trips to allow sufficient time to reach destinations without exceeding spaed limits. During the holiday periods, state police plan to make uae of aB available troopers to help keep highways in the Commonwealth aa safe aa possible. In aome areas, troopers will be holding motor vehicle road checks. In other locations, they will concentrate on selective enforcement projects. • December Is Christmas Seal Month \ * .

Board To Consider Hauling JON HEDDLESTON The Board of Supervisors will eonthe possibility of hauling re hue out of Rappahannock as part of a waste-management {dan, several board members said December 17. While doing so, the supervisors said they had not dropped from consideration the proposed landfill site on Route 621 near Peyton Farm Estates nor other possible sites or alternatives that may develop. The Board on December 12 interviewed six engineer/consultants during a “continuation” of its regular meeting of December 8. The interviews took place during executive (private) session, which began at 9 a.m. and concluded around £30 p.m. The Board plans to retain one engineer, who will in effect begin all over again to review Rappahannock's waste-disposal situation and needs. Board members say the list has been narrowed to two or three of the candidates, and that each supervisor will continue to study resumes in preparation for the Board’s next regular meeting on January 7. In the meantime, plans to condemn the 188-acre tract on Route 621 have been postponed, but not dropped. Commonwealth’! Attorney Pater Lake ■aid December 17 he had received “no . other instructions” on condemnation. Further consideration before the January meeting would take a “special” meeting of the Board, which Chairman Richard Latham said la not planned. Chairman Latham added that the Board also wfll consider results of the Planning Commission meeting of December 19, during which the plannera are scheduled to determine whether or not the proposed landfill site is in accord with the county’s comprehensive plan. Whether or not the county can haul trash out of Rappahannock rather than establish a county landfill will be given more attention, according to Board members, who were briefed by several of the engineer candidates on this method of waste disposal. “I’ve never set the torch down on trying to form trash out,” Supervisor Nelson Lane said December 17. Supervisor Lane said at least one of the engineers interviewed discussed a boiler system in Harrisonburg that converts garbage to energy. Supervisor Lane also expressed reservation about hauling trash so far sway. Supervisor Lane said ho learned during the interviews that it’s “pheno Historic Signing V Water and Sewer Authority (WSA) members made history on December 11 by signing in Richmond documents to secure bond financing of the Sperryville Sewer project, fluids that later will be reimbursed by EPA and HUD. WSA members are Secretary James White (1) and Chairman Robert Dennis. minally expensive” for a edunty with the population of Rappahannock to have its own landfill. He added, however, that not all the engineers interviewed said having a county landfill would cost more than hauling. Lane •aid he’d continue the search aa soon as possible for a county willing to help; he also said it could be difficult to find a county willing to receive Rappahannock'S traah. Supervisor Clarence Baldwin said it was the “general consensus” at Board members following the interviews with engineers that hauling trash out of the county may be the most economical solution. Supervisor Baldwin said this appeared to be true because in establishing and maintaining a landfill of its own, a “small” county would have to conform to the same standards and codes as more populous Virginia counties. Supervisor Baldwin thought the energy-conversion plant in Harrisonburg sounded good. “As far as I know, they accept (trash) for free,” Baldwin said. He added, however, that transportation costs and ability to enter into “long-term contract” with the City of Harrisonburg would have to be coondered up front in further researching thin alternative. John Holsten, plant superintendent of the energy-conversion plant located in Harrisonburg, confirmed December 18 that the plant does accept household refuse for “free.” Such refuse could include tin cans, even bricks, he said. He added, however, that the plant at presenj is “not large enough” to handle the trash of other counties on a year-round basis. Mr. Holstein explained that the plant exists primarily to generate steam for James Madison University. When the steam, which is used for heat, isn’t needed, which happens during the summer months, Mr. Holsten said he turns back trash coming in from parts of Rockingham County outside of Harrisonburg. When he turns back trash, other parts of Rockingham County revert to using their own landfill. Mr. Holsten said there presently are no plans to expand the plant, although he maintained the plant has operated at peak efficiency and would be a good prospect for expansion. Expansion would not be in the area of steam heat, however, but in the area of electrical generators that could be powered by steam. To date, the City of Harri(Continued on Page 3) Council Continues Work On Charter By JANE BANGLEY bndnMtkNmRUfWrikr The Washington Town Council continued its efforts to develop a new town charter, and worked on several ordinances during its meeting on Wednesday, December 12. Doug Baumgardner, legal counsel for the council, presented a town eharter it the meeting that he termed to be for* that I charter provided for aO of the town offices, and enumerated all of the power* of the mayor and town council. The charter also provided for appointed offices that may or may not be fiflcd, and stated that the town treasurer would be appointed instead of elected. Washington’s town treasurer is elected at present, and possesses a vote on the council. Council member Newbfll Miller objected to changing the treasurer's status, and Baumgardner told him that alterations would be made according to the council’s specifications. Miller also questioned a clause in the proposed charter that would give the council the right to levy a a town property tax. “I think that if you don’t have the right then you wont have it, and I dont see any need for Washington having an additional tax above what is paid to the county,” said Idler. A motion was made by Miller that the charter specify that the council has no right to levy a property tax. The motion passed by a vote of six to one, with Mayor Peter Knuner casting the negative vote. There were also questions concerning the recent town boundary survey and its relation to the tax map. The town boundaries will have to be sent to Richmond with the charter before the next session of the General Assembly begins on January 9. The council decided that the map of the boundaries Aould be imposed on a tax map so that residents of Washington could determine where the boundaries are in relation to their property. A map, the boundary information and the proposed charter will be on file in the Clerk’s Office for public inspection. The Council will finish work on the charter at a meeting on January 2 at 7:80 p.m. in the courthouse. The council discussed s proposed ordinance which would abolish the joint planning commission between the town and the county, and would establish a five to 15 member planning commission for the town alone. The ordinance was proposed to assist the council in its efforts to put into effect an historic district ordinance. The historic district ordinance would establish an architectural review board that would study plans for buddings within the historic district to make sure that the buildings would conform (Continued on Page 3) Beekeeper Slung By Bear Gets Revenge . . .... *, ... ....

John Marocchi of Sperryville called the Rappahannock Newt last Thursday to report that eight of 20 beehives on his property had been Mt by the bear: five on Tuesday night and three more on Wednesday night. Mr. Marocchi reported that he has had 'recurring problems with bears; he also has gone to great lengths to discourage them from making attempts on the beehives. Mr. Marocchi had secured the beehive area on his property some time ago by surrounding it with 'three strands of barbed electric fence. The lowest wire was about If. inches off the ground. This bear; however, had clawed its way under the lowest strand to devastate the beehives on the consecutive nights. Mr. Marocchi had discussed the problem with Game Warden Jim Bankston, who Mr. Marocchi said (Continued on Page 8) KffAHMANmllMhilUflM Eight beehives were devastated by a bear last week on the property of John Marocchi, who lives opposite Grid Brown Hollow in Spenyville.

Va. Announces Reduction In Home Loan Guaranty Interest Rate The Veterans Administration has reduced its maximum home loan inter- - estrate—from 18 percent to 12tt percent effective November 21,1984. The last change in the interest rata occurred on October 22, 1964, when It was reduced from 1814 to 18 percent. VA Administrator Harry N. Walters said the reduction — the third in the last four months — follows improvement in the mortgage market and continuing investor confidence in the economy. “In an economy that is growing at a stable, maintainable rate and with inflation remaining low, this latest redaction is more welcome news for veterans,” Walters said. He also noted that since a high VA loan rate of 1714 percent in September 1961, the email rate-trend has been down. The latest drop in rates will lower monthly payments mi an average VA loan of $64,000 by about $26. This la about $16 per month lees than the payment required on the same amount at 14 percent which was the rate in August 1964, or $266 per month lees than payments based on the 1714 percent rate in 1981. The VA action also reduced by one-half percentage point the maximum rates for graduated payment mortgages (GPlfs) to 12V« percent and home improvement loans to 14 percent. In addition the rates for manufactured home loans were also reduced. The new maximum rates are 15 percent for unit only loans and 14% percent for a loan to purchase either a unit with the lot or for loans to purchase a lot after which a unit already owned by the veteran is to be placed. I The rate change does not- affect existing loans, whose interest rate remains the same for the life of the agreement. VA home loans may be used to purchase, construct, alter, improve, repair, or refinance a home. This includes the purchase of condominiums and manufactured homes, with or without a lot.

They tracked the bear to a deadend aeries of crisscrossing trails on Friday, before giving up to return the following day. Also on Friday, Mr. Marocchi strung a fourth line of electric wire, this one Just six indies off the ground. The beer returned again Friday night, but this time didn't get in. The Rapidan Hunt Club returned Saturday morning and set out on the fresh trail. At about Mk90, the dogs rousted the 458pounder from a grove of pines. Travis Jarell, 16, the son of a hunt chib member, shot the beer, which became the first bear the young hunter had bagged. Hunt club members then field dressed the bear on t)l6 Spot. Mr. Maroechi described the bear as “a beautifkil, coal-black bear,” and said he was saddened by the series of events. He maintained, however, that bears have caused heartache for many area beekeepers, and he again pnused the pro&s- . sional and respectful manner in which the Rapidan Hunt Club took care of the problem.

The proposed town charter contains clauses that would allow the council to act as a town board of zoning appeals and a planning commission. A Washington citizen, Charles Eldred, asked about the need for such clauses and their legality. Baumgardner assured Eldred that the clauses are legal.

Council member Bill Wkkens made a motion to table the proposed historic district ordinance until the February meeting when the council should know how the charter bill is progressing. Mayor Kramer told the council that he thought that a delay would be a mistake. The motion passed by a voteofsixtoone. Baurpgardner reported to the council hie suggestions on the proposed dog ordinance. Baumgardner recommended that the council consider two ordinances to address the problem. He suggested a general ordinance prohibiting the running of dogs in the town, and another ordinance prohibiting the “littering” of public streets and common areas. Baumgardner suggested that the council leave specifics on enforcement of the regulations out of the ordinances. He also told the council that it would not be wise to designate someone without training as dog warden for the town. Trash (Continued from Page 1) , aonburg, which owns the plant, haa not touched the question of such expansion. The plant powera one electrical generator, the energy from which ia used to power the plant, Mr. Holaten said. For purpoaea of example, theRappahannock Newt aaked Mr. Holstein if his plant could handle an additional 9,000 tons of waste per year. He said it could, provided the supplier had alternate plans for waste disposal during the off-peak months, a period Mr. Holsten said ran approximately from mid-May to mid-October. Mr. Holsten said the City of Harrisonburg might be willing to entertain a contract with another county. No other county outside Rockingham haa entered into a contract with the dty, he said. Mr. Holsten said if Rappahannock was interested in what the plant could do for the county, he would be the person to contact to determine the feasibility of any venture. His supervisor, Assistant City Manager John Driver, would be the person with whom to discuss contracts, Mr. Holsten said. Mr. Holsten welcomed visitors to the plant, which has been in operation since November 1962. He said an ad hoc committee from Madison County recently visited. He said that, other than in summertime, the plant could have met Madison’s needs. His recommendation to Madison: Pursue a “joint venture” with another county that has a similar waste-disposal situation.

Council members asked about other problems like noisy dogs, and bow the ordinances could address that. Eldred suggested that there are other forms of noise in the town besides dogs that could be covered in a peace ordinance. The council decided to look for an ordinance on dogs already passed for Washington so that additions can be considered. The council will also consider a peace ordinance, and Mayor Kramer said that he would ask the Sheriffs Department for more patrolling of the town. On a motion made by Miller, the council voted to have a resolution expressing the town’s gratitude for the work of the late Thurman Whorton written and emit to the Whorton family. Whorton worked for many years on the town’s waterworks. Reserved Parking Ml*—■tWwiHwrtwlWiMM A group of Richmond business associates flew by helicopter for dinner at The Inn last Thursday night.

20,1964 And It Came To Pass... .. And it came to pass in thoae days that there went out a ^decree from Caeear Augustus, that all the world should be tarod. And all went to be taxed, everyone into his own dty. And Joseph also wait up 'from Galilee, out of the dty of Naaaieth, into Judea, unto the dty of David, which is called ..Bethlehem, to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was that while they were the days were accomplished that she would be delivered, and she brought forth her firstborn son, wrapped him in •waddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo the angle of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone around about them, and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto - them, Fear not, for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy , which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the dty of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign onto you: Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling dothas, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly boat praising God and saying Glory to God m the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And they came with hast, and found Mary and Joseph and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had semi it they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the thing that they had heard and semi, as it was told unto them. —Gospel According To St Luk$ Y&Tj There Is A Santa ttkkfrmom tditorialfvrtt appear'd in the Now York Sun, SopUmbtrtl, 1897). We take pleasure in answering at onee and thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that ; jtafuthftil author is numbered amongthe friends ofUrn Smu Dear Editor; I am 8 yean old. Some of my little friends •ay there is no Santa Claus. Papa says “If you see it in Tht Sun it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O’Hanlon 115 West 95th Street Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a Skeptical age. They do not believe except what they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there Wero ho Santa Claus! It would -be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Suita Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not than. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived, could tear apart Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that certain beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothifigelse . real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood. '—Our Rappahannock Heritage• John T. Toler Lisa H. Burke ^ ^Barbara C. Burke .u- Jane Bangley JonC. Heddleston Peggy Stringfeltow Our Correspondents And Production Staff Letters To The Editor News Wrong In Editorial To the editor In your editorial, of Dec. 13, you plead for the county’s citizens to trust and respect their public servants, especially the Planning Commissioners at this time. As I read the editorial, I could not help but notice the similarity between Rappahannock News, Washington Post and the New York Times. These larger papers plead for their readers to vote for Fritz Mondale and Gerry Ferraro and guess what? They were wrong, as is the case at hand. The Washington Post had "dogged” our incumbent president until Election Eve and then made their pitch which most readers were already prepared for. The same has happened with Rappahannock News. For months we have read the paper seeing dearly which side it was on, so the editorial was not a surprise. Neither trust nor respect can be attained by whining for it. Nor can they be demanded. Both are won from service rendered or not given at all. But trust, respect and credibility can be developed if this is really what we want. Here’s how: First, if you are a public official, either elected or appointed, keep your personal business and public business separate. Better ■till if you are interested in real estate business stay away from public office because of the personal advantage your position could give you. Don’t tell the people that you, yourself, the public official, perceive a conflict of interest and hut abstain from the decision making process of the body you were elected or appointed to. Second: The law does not prohibit real estate dealers from being appointed to the Planning Commission or the Equalisation Board, as the few in fttvor of this arrangement are constantly bringing up. But neither is it a requirement to be in real estate for the Board of Supervisors or Judge to appoint them, with the resulting probMPHs Let’s let the current toms of office expire for all these real estate people on the respective boards and remmiasiona with thanks for service rendered and replace them with people that have known common sense, good Mr—e and without a suggestion of conflict ot interest. This will help build trust and respect. In reading your editorial Anther, I aaa a few problems, each as body counts. There were 160-200 people at the Jackson District meeting (which is more than 80) in Amiaeville with only three people speaking in favor or the proposed ordinance and none of the three appeared to know what they were talking about. The focal point was to drop it. It seems that many supporters of the proposed ordinance are real estate people and so-called environmentalists. As far as the zoning referendum is concerned, you seem to be against that also. Maybe we should appoint a Planning Commission for life and make their positions inheritable, and we won’t have to attend meetings in the future and listen to extreme and absurd illustrations of invasions from these “groups” that our officials fear. Respect and trust can not be won by implanting fear in the citizenry, like a certain Central American nation has done recently. If we are not intelligent enough to vote on a referendum, then we do not have a voice at all until election time; and one-issue races are not fair ones. But one punt I agree with, the Planning Commission went above and beyond the call of duty. They actually went too far with their excessive regulations. I hope that we can learn from constructive criticism and report better so that we won’t see the bumper sticker, “I Don’t Believe the Rappahannock News.” RON FRAZIER AmissviDe Letters To The Editor Continued On Page 5 On Common Sense “Common hdm is the widely shared commodity in the woftd, far every men ie convinced that he is weD supplied with it" *From Both Barrels— Could Plan Help Demos? By GKOBCC BOWLK8 State Sen. Hunter Andrew of Hampton came op with » plan fcr nominating Democratic eandHateelaet week which, he beBerea, may be jnet what the doctor ordered far a party trying to dig itadf out from under the rubble of the Reagan hndeBde. Eren though the 1966 political year ia only a few weeka old, already there i> grumping abroad in the hutd. Old Dominion Democrata, aome allege, aeem to be trying to turn themeehree into a bneh league rerrion od the national party, the atrategy of which left aokiething tobedeaired in the redent election. The obmpUnt baa centered on the growing perception that the Virginia party, like the national, ia becoming more of a confederation of Riedel internet and eanatitneaey groupe than a eoheahre political vehicle deeigned to elect itecandhjataa. Such a etate of affaire may be tolerable in thoae years when mere preeidantlel electioneers at ■take, but when Virginians are about to elect their governor, Beutenant governor and attorney general, not to mention the 100 members of the Houae of Delegatee, then it’a time to get serious about politica. The Democrats' nominating convention is still six months away. It will be held Jons 7 in the Richmond Coliseum, and past conventions have usually done little to enhance the Democrats’ image with the broad mainstream of Virginia voters. Sometimes it; has seemed that the state’s Democrats have forgotten the rather elementary proposition that the approval of a majority of theee voters is necessary in order for the party’s candidates to prevafl. AO too often in the past the perception of the Democrats in convention efimhlnd has been one of a gathering of noisy Actions, many of which were more interested in the philosophical parity of the party than in winning at the pods. It is in the hope of changing this perception that Andrews has plunged into the bread), or perhaps more accurately, into the Bon’s den. His proposal is designed to change the convention from the present forum for activists from the various lRwraLlbstfaMraf that* party to a convocation of prtatt**' cal politicians more concerned with doing what a political convention of either party is supposed to do. That is, nominate winning candidates. The ground rules for the 1965 convention have not been spaded out The party will decide on them in February. But in the past the delegates have been elected at mass meetings, or caucuses, in the counties and titiss. As a general rule thoae who attend the caucuses are those party activists who represent the more liberal Democratic constituency groups. (The term "mass meeting” was officially changed to “caucus" at a Democratic State Central Committee meet inf earlier this month.) As a raaolt Um dslsgatsa slsctsd, and Um* tha conventions, have often been to the left of the party mainstream aa well as to the left of the Virginia electorate. It is tide problem that the Andrews proposal would address. Instead of having all of the delegatee elected at caucuses, be would automatically designate sD Democratic elected affldala at all levels of government in the state as convention delegates. These would indude members of the General Assembly, Boards of Supervisors, City Councils, conatitutiooal officers and statewide Thus, in a convention of£,600 delegates, Andrews aeye shout 1,100 would bo electod official* He arguee that thee* are the proven Democratic winners and as ■ueh have earned the right to a voice in the naming of the party’s candidates. Those officials who won their offices as independents would be eligible for delegate designation if they certified that they wen, infect, Democrats. The remaining delegatee would be choeen at caucoaea at the prednct level, another controversial propoaaL All delegatee would be uncommitted to any ■pacific candidate. The proposal haa come under immediate and strong attach from the American Civil Libertiee Union which contends that the plan would dilute black representation in the nominating process. They insist that if it is adopted they will appeal the matter to the U.8. Justice Department since Virginia is still under the strictures of the Voting Rights Act of IMS. Jut what impact the change weald have on the percentage of blacka and women at the convention ia not known. There are now many black and women officiate, but it ia obvioue that their number of delegatee would be reduced under the propoeaL There ia something to be said, however, for the proposition that if the plan makee more likely the election of the candidates who beet repreeent the eonearne of minorities. than their number at > nominating convention would i to be a matter of aeoondary HU a ptacitK#*mdLr; the pipn probably hae very little chance of baing acboptmt It would have to be approved by the Democratic State Central Committee, and many mamban of that body are stall much concerned with proportional representation, de fbcto quota* and the like. However controveraial it may be, the Andrew* propoaal ie stall one of the moat innovative political initativee advanced by a ranking Democrat in many a moon. Hie party should conaider it. Altar all, the Democrats are cqming up on a political year in which they will need aD the help they ean get Calling For Thorough Search Of County To the editor The CCRC has instructed me to make another attempt to set the record straight about eur motives and efforts, fat view of your letters last week from Messer*. Shafer, Johnson and Eaatham. What we have been calling for, over and over, is for a thorough search at the county for a landfill site that will be of easy access, reaaonable coat and the least disruptive of the county’s ecology, character and its population. We have urged, too, that alternative methods at waste management be investigated, particularly the haulage at our trash to disposal facilities outside the county. We have been disappointed—and more than a little surprised—that Rappahannock residents generally did not speak up in support of this open-minded approach. Still, we are pleased to see that the supervisors appear increasingly sympathetic to it, especially to the idea of exporting our trash to facilities now being act up to use the materials far the prodiwtkn of needed energy. Jj What we have not beanfurging, despite the regrettable misinterprets-* ■ tion of our efforts, lathe shifting of the proposed landfill site to the preesnt WoodviDe ait*. True, we have called for the consideration of all poarfble aRaa. But most of ns believe—as Jack fwitop noted in the same Noise ioeue aai the Safer end Johnson letters that if the standards we advocate had been need last time around the present landfill would not have been dumped into the Woodville site. Then there ie the matter of “threatened” lawsuits, aa g-r**1*—n chargee. Is Eaatham really advfeing the Board, as he appears to be, to igncjre the experience of our neighbors and other communities in all this? Aa aqyone who has explored the wastemanagement issues should know, it has become all but axiomatic that damage suits are a virtual certainty when landfills are located in high-density residential areas where population disruption, traffic problems, pollution and land-value erosion are maximised. Let me assure you we are not looking for an argument. We believe Rappahannock County, its people and itscharacterwillbebestservedbycitisen efforts to help the supervisors take a broad and reasoned approach to waste management We applaud and congratulate tha Board on tta apparent this Una.

At the present, Rappahannock County is producing approximately 9,000 tons of waste per year; some neighboring counties are also faced with the same problems of waste disposal. At present, Harrisonburg is bunting 75 tons (designed to burn 100) per day and supplies steam heat to the college nearby; they are also looking into the- possibility of an electrical steam turbine to produce electricity, to be purchased by the electric power company there. It was suggested that one or more of the supervisors had brought forth the idea of a possible joint county type of waste disposal system in order to curtail costs. It is very apparent that with the steady increase of population in this county and throughout the United States that just using landfills and dumps for waste disposal is only a temporary stop gap and that more and more problems will occur, possible contamination of ground water, streams and water sheds by leakage from the sites. The Environmental Protection Agency has found with their ongoing studies that even the best engineered and monitored sites have leakage. Some of our group members have talked with State Senator Kevin Miller concerning the problems of landfills, and possible alternates which may help the counties of Virginia. We are aware that no one wants a landfill in their backyard, and it was with knowledge that our group started researching for alternate sites as well as alternate methods for a possible solution, however as a small group with very little knowledge about landfills and their problems. We as a new citizens’ group voicing our concern, had to cross the creditability gap as being responsible, mature, cooperative and above all not a vigilante group. With a legal mentor our group has moved forth and has researched the problems of landfills. With this research more facts came to light as to the proper location, environmental impact, cost factors and alternate methods, the difficulty of finding sites which would create the least amount of problems to the citizens, the environment and water tables. From the executive level to the county level it is apparent that there are many problems concerning these landfills and/or the disposal methods which are applied today. It was with this knowledge that our group started their research and gathered a large amount of material fro presentation to the Board of Supervisors. In a cooperative spirit, this material has been presented with guarded'respect to each individual supervisor for study, we hope with an open mind, as to the appropriate action to be taken.

Our County • All Rappahannockers love their land! • The fixed costs of a county landfill would be exorbitant in relation to the small amount of solid waste we create. • Private waste-management firms are willing to evaluate our alternatives at no cost to us, with no need at this time for expensive consultants. • The Soil Conservation Service has described the geology in this area as "among the most complicated in North America.” • The effect of a landfill on Rappahannock’s groundwater would be highly unpredictable. • There has been no public discussion as to the future of dumpster sites. • The County Supervisors should ask, "What do the people want?"

Well, after many, many years, the housing market now has an index too. It is called the Homing Affordability Index and it is published monthly by the National Association of Realtors. It shows the relationship between the median family income and the median priced home.

Also, be sure to remember their favorite teacher and ballet instructor with this delicious homemade confection. Peanuts are so good sugared, spiced, chocolate or butterscotch covered, or made into crunchy brittle and all are easy to make as the holiday steadily approaches. They are nice to have on hand for friends that drop by to wish happy holidays or to welcome a new neighbor across the street.

fee Finishing A Project Is Giving Away A Child’ To Interior Designer Evelyn Willis By JANE BANGLEY Evelyn Willis began working in interior design 25 yean ago in Taiwan, but gave it up while her two children were small. “I was going to wait to go beck to work until both of my children were in college, but when my oldest was a sophomore in high school I started working part time for someone else,” said Willis. “From there it wasn't long before I was working full time, and then started my own business.” That was how Evelyn Tyler Willis Residential and Contract Design, Ltd. began. Most of the business took place in Upstate New York, and at West Point Academy where Willis’ husband was a You've made it a pleasure to serve you, friends and customers. Here's hoping your Holiday is special. Baldwin’s Grocery Paul & Cucie Baldwin Washington, Va. 675-3383 professor of physics. Now examples of Willis’ work can be found in the Northeast and Southeast, and she is still working on contracts in New York while she attempts to finish restoring her house on Mt. Prospect Farm in Washington, Va. She is not working professionally in Rappahannock. “Most of my work has been contract, or commercial, and residential work with 86 percent being historically related,” said Willis. One of the most impressive examples of Willis’ work is the Thayer Award Room at West Point. The room has a two and a half story high ceiling, and honors Thayer award winners who exemplify the concepts of Duty, Honor, Country through their record of service. The room was described by a former superintendent as “the single most beautiftil room at West Point.” Willis is now working on the new admissions building for West Point, which should be completed in 1986. For that project, Willis has incorporated chandeliers and wall sconces made by Charles Eldred of Washington. Another one of her projects has 40 portraits, and she is using lighting for the paintings from the Middle Street Gallery. “The first step in a project is to do a consultation with the client when I primarily listen to the client’s ideas and likes and dislikes,” Willis said. “A good designer is a good listener, and a designer’s job is to listen to what the client wants and then present the ideas in the right way.” After the consultation, Willis usually does three plans with the help of an architect at tpnes. The client then chooses which plan he or she likes, and then Willis’ role changes to an interior contractor. “I contract all of the separate jobs involved to trades people, coonh WILKINS' SHOECENTER Only Bass ■makes Weejuns.j * Mahogany ‘ • Block •Mahogany _ * Block MEN'S W1EJUNS Tht original I—fart. styling in 1ti% laathar ..44.99 handsown construction • • • durability . . . traditional * in U.S.A. nate the jobs, and put the workers on a time schedule,” Willis said. Willis spends as much time as possible on the site as the work progresses. “I work days, nights and weekends trying not to inconvenience the clients,” Willis said. “I am totally responsible for the other people and their work so I stick with good workers.” Willis has done everything from one room to four houses for clients, and one of her most unique experiences was decorating a boat. The boat had been purchased by a group of townspeople from Highland Falls, N.Y., and they wanted to convert the boat into a floating restaurant. “I did the boat in a turn of the century style with gas light look alikes and etched glass,” Willis said. The boat operates out of New York City, and has been so successful' that there are plans to add another boat to the business. Willis has been asked to decorate the new addition, but she considers her first boat project to be her last. Willis believes the boat project was her most frustrating because of the inconsistency of volunteer help and the difficulties with working on a floating object. "One time the tide rose while we were working, and I had to climb over the rail and drop down to the This boat is now a floating restaurant operating out of New Yotk City, but at one time it was a major headache for Evelyn Willis. dock, Willis said. “I didn’t think I would make it, and that’s when I decided that there would be no more boats.” There are many things about interior design that Willis enjoys, and that keep her in the business. "The thing I like the most about the work is that it forces my mind to be totally efficient, and I have to use my time effectively,” Willis said. "I also loved meeting the different kinds of people I worked with and for.” Another part of the work that Willis loves is when she can decorate for young people or others on a low budget. Then she has the challenge of making dreams come true without the rude awakening of large bills afterwards. One of the difficult aspects of her work comes when the job is complete, and it is no longer her project. "The whole point of my work is to make the clients feel .that the room or house or whatever is truly theirs, but it’s still hard to Evelyn Willis decorated the Thayer Award Room at West Point.

The first mietreee of the hmmImi cb Pennsylvania Avenue, Abigail Adams begain White House hospitality with a party for Congress. The menu for her "most sinfiil feast” from the first Christmas that the White House was occupied stm stands as the bend) mark in elegant First Family dining. That holiday season in 1794, the tables groaned under crab daws with diDmnstard sauce, winter squash soup, poached salmon with egg sauce, native roart turkey with sage and sausage dressing, baked ham from the smokehouse and beef bouilli with horseradish sauce. Trimmings included yams and chestnuts baked with pippins, Mrs. Boyleton's asparagus, carrot pudding, maaa of pease, skfflet cranberries for a slack oven, watermelon pickle, madeira wine jeUy garnished with frosted fruit, Crane House pumpkin bread, Braintree squash rolls and oyster rolls. Dessert choices were floating island, ■now eggs, brandied nectarines, cur* rant pound cake, whiskey nut balls, duster raWns, spiced pecans, candied ginger, candied peel and Angelica stems. Abigail also gave a party for children, a tradition followed by succeeding occupants of the executive mansion, James Buchanan entertained a delegation of young Pawnee Indians. The District at Columbia’s orphans were invited to the White House by Andrew Jackson. Little Tod Lincoln, Have fa UttfU, lOM^MINy \jQkliin0t! Tis the Season to be jolly!

In more • modern times, a reception fin* the chQ- . dren of the diplomatic corps is one of the highlights of the season. And over the years, new presidents have kept on adding new tradition*. There’s the party for the Christmas card volunteers, carols by the aervice choirs, candlelight tours for senior citizens through the mansion decorated with lighted tapers, velvet bows, handsome green garlands and ornamented trees. President Eisenhower had at least 12 Christmas trees every year; Teddy Roosevelt reftised to have a single one until pressure from his children forced him to agree that it was proper to cut a tree for Christmas as long as it was taken from a dense stand that needed thinning. The first tree was put up in President Benjamin Harrison’s office by his staff in 1889. Now a specific theme is chosen every year for the White House tree. The Johnson* decorated their tree in the family quarters of the White House with icicles, snowflakes, gingerbread men, toy drummers and garlands of popcorn, with a star from F.D.R.’s 1940 tree on top. Betty Ford chose American folk art and handicrafts for tree decorations in 1974 and the following year she asked the craftspeople of Colonial Williamsburg to make the same ornaments that would have graced a tree in the mid-19th century. The Nixons decorated their fionily tree with personal ornaments collected through the years. Pat Nixon also had two 16-foot trees adorned with lights and white and gold Christinas balls on either side of the nativity scene in the East Room. Mrs. Carter continued the American craft theme instigated by Mrs. Ford, using antique doUs and toys, antique lace cloths and pink flowers in lace and mauve to decorate the White House for Christmas. While the decorations and festivities have become more elaborate over the years, the dinner menus are simpler than the “sinftil feast” served by Abigail Adams. The Carters’ Christmas dinner in 1660 began with striped bass with Christmas Party Highlights Flint Hill News The Flint Hill Home Extension Club met on Tuesday, December 11 at the home of Mrs. Paul Miller for their Christmas party.

Members of the Rappahannock Elementary School Student Parent . Teacher Association (SPTA) allocated . the first funds raised in the 1984-86 school year to the purchase of computer software, periodicals and books, and supplementary materials. The appropriation of $572.50 was approved by SPTA members at the December monthly meeting held on Thursday, December IS at the elementary school The appropriation was approved unanimously after a presentation by Michael Cotter, assistant principal at RCES, in which he outlined the need for software educational programs as well as an additional computer hardware unit. According to Mr. Carter, the computer education program will be formally implemented in January of 1985, and the SPTA’s support of his request will enable the computer aware^ ness project to run more efficiently. Mr. Carter explained that, even though “in-house” fluids were utilized to purchase the new computer equipment last summer, there were not sufficient in-house funds or fluids allocated by the school board fin* these additional areas of need. In an effort to show support of the Virginia Department of Education mandate that graduates of the class of 1986 have a “basic literacy” level of competency involving “minimum exposure to the use of microcomputers in a school setting”, the Rappahannock County Elementary School is implementing a computer awareness program that will also enable younger children to have hands-on use of a com I Cathedral Christmas TV The annual Christmas Service of the Episcopal National Cathedral in Washington will be televised live at 10 a.m. on Christmas morning.

LOGO is a program that teaches math concepts and problem solving techniques through the use of a “turtle.” The SPTA is already plunging ahead with more fund raisers to support other SPTA projects. A Christmas stocking, stuffed with presents that are appealing to any elementary-age child, will be given away on Friday, December 21. Children may still participate at $,25 each or 10 tickets for $2 during homeroom period on Friday morning. The results of a teacher poll conducted by SPTA member Cindy Andreoni were also given at the December 13 meeting. The funds from the stocking fund raiser and other fund raisers during the school year will be used to help support teachers’ “wish lists.” Computer software and hardware was high on the list of items requested by teachers. The SPTA expressed appreciation to Mr. Cotter for his report and for his _ support of the computer education program. pany, the hour-long service will be carried locally by NBC-affiliate WRC in Washington, Channel 4. The Cathedral Choir of Boys and Men, musicians from the National Symphony Orchestra, and the great organ of the Cathedral will help carry the Christmas message of good news and good will to all.

The entire broadcast will be dosed-captioned for the hearing-impaired as part of the Cathedral’s effort to reach all people. “This service has become an American tradition, especially for shutins or those who were up late at Christmas Eve services,” according to the Rev. Elijah White, Northern Virginia representative of the National Cathedral Association. “We need more such high-quality Christian broadcasts—people will make a special effort to watch first-rate music and preaching when it’s available.” ++++ The world’s oldest amateur golf tournament is the British Amateur Golf Championship which has existed since 1885.

A 40 Year Old Christmas Present To The Nation Still Shines By JANR BANGLEY This Christmas season aa our nation celebrates the holiday in pence, the thoughts of many go back to a Christmas time of war 40 yean ago. During that Christmas, American twees were involved in one of the major struggles in the history of World War II; the Battle of the Bulge. Several Rappahannock residents earved in the forces that snatched a Christinas victory in Belgium from the Germans, and gave a costly Christmas present to the United States. Two of those residents shared their memories of that time when they were for away from home fodng the Germans and the Canon Johneon of SperryviQe was with the 17th Airborne Division, 193rd Older Infontry Regiment at the time of the Battle of the Bulge. Johnson’s division experienced its lint combat in the battle at Bastogne, and the division commander was General Bud Miley. “At Bastogne, we walked into battle hi snow up to oar knees,” Johnson said. “It was the 20th of December, General Miley’s birthday, though none of us knew it, and oar birthday present for General MOey was a catastrophe. We got hurt-badly hist with companies down to 15 or 20 men, but we held our ground against a vicious armored counter-attack.” Johnson's division fought off the attackers, but sustained heavy losses. He recalls that in order to regroup the division had to leave its position, and the roads wow fitted with other divisions. “We made oar way through snow, often times up to our waists,” Johnson said. “We encountered the enemy and mine fields, but we kept going and we kept up with the divisions on our flanks although they had the roads and we had none.” An article entitled “A Christinas KEROSUN HEATERS SALE!

Pw—nt From the Airborne* published hi the De—iher, 1968 la—e of The Static Line and written by Lou Vsrrone covered the Battle of the Bulge. In the article, the 17th Airborne Dhrb •ion's role in the battle is des cribed. “In its (the ITth’s) baptism of firo-axcept for the 507th used with the 82nd in Normandy-the youngest of troopers performed brilliantly in holding a Uns along ‘Dead Man’s Ridge’ which opened and guarded a Baatogne corridor.” Bob Ingle is another Rappahannock resident who fought at the Battle of the Bulge. Ingle was a first lieutenant with Troop E of the 87th Calvary and Reconaiseance Mechanised of the 7th Armored Division. Troop E was an assault gun troop that used 75 mflHiw. ter Howitzers. Ingle was among a group of replacement officers that joined the division in Belgium on January 1, 1945. “The division had been placed on the north shoulder of the Bulge with the instructions to hold tbe crossroads at SL Vith for at least 48 hours,” Ingle said. They did, but they sustained heavy losses, and they had to be re-outfitted.” After the 7th was re-outfitted, the division recaptured St. Vith. Tbe thing I remember the most about that time was the snow and the cold,” Ingle said. That is not surprising since according to The Static Line article Western Europe was experiencing its worst winter in the century during the Battle of the Bulge. American losses in the battle have been estimated at 76,800, and German losses in lives at 120,000. “AH of the divisions like the tank divisions and engineers worked together in the campaign, and none were more important than the other,” said Johnson. When the Battle of the Bulge is mentioned, many people immediately think of the classic American Commander’s response of “Nuts” to a German demand for surrender. Perhaps that response is remembered because it typifies the courage and determination that the American fore— displayed during the battle. All of the lives lost during the battle is the best testament to that courage. “We remember thorn who went before us who paid the supreme sacrifice,” Johnson said. “We all did our duty as we were called upon to do R. Some of us were lucky and we are here, but some of us were unlucky and we miss them.” This picture was taken at Camp Stoneman in Massachusetts as Bob Ingle prepared to go overseas.

SAR Rappahannock Men Mark Graves Of Revolutionary War Heroes By JENNINGS H. FLATHEB8 —-INmCtaatr CoL Paul Frants of Washington., who ia Secretary of the Culpeper Minot* Chapter, Sons of the American Rwohtion, also is Chairman of the Grata Registration Committee. A major project of the SAR is to locate and mark all the graves of men who fought in the American Revolution. On two successive weekends recently, CoL Frants and other SAR members marked four graves, two in the Mt. Hebron Cemetery, Winchester; one in Marshall; and the fourth in the Baptist Cemetery, Stevensburg. The official bsonse SAR marker was placed near the headstone of each grave. One of the graves marked In the Mt Hebron Cemetery is that of General Daniel Morgan, a cousin of Daniel BoCne, and an outstanding patriot of the Revohmtionary War. A 200 pound, fearless leader, sometimes boisterious but always com pbtotjr disciplined, General Kopn Motivated in many Revolutionary War engagements, including tha Battie of Saratoga, whara Britkh General Burgoyne was defeated. His greatest victory, however waa at Cowpena. This British defeat forced their armies northward toward Yorktown where they surrendered. On hand to place the SAR Bronae Marker was Jon B. Morgan of WoodviDe, a descendant of General Morgan. A second grave marked at Mt Hebron Cemetery was that of General Daniel Roberdeau, an ancestor of James A. Weaver of Culpeper. General Roberdeau signed the document protesting the stamp Act of 1775, constreuted a fort that protected a lead mine essential to the war effort and served as Brigadier General of the Pennsylvania Militia. He was elected to the Continental Congress and signed the Articles of Confederation. Mr. Weaver was present to place the SAR Bronae Marker. A third grave marked was that of Qjrivwter Welch, Sr., in the Marshall Cemetery. Welch, a native of Northumberland County, served in the lit. Continental Regiment of Artillery, a unit that pounded the British in the Battle of Monmouth. Because of Ms dose association with Fauquier men during the Revolution, Welch took up residence in the Marshall area Hollowing the war. His grave was marked by Milton Maddux of Mfheiij a dant. William Hansbrough, with grave in the Baptist Cemetery, Stevemburg, was bom in Amherst County. He became one of the first to enlist in 1756 as a private in the 2nd Regiment, Virginia Volunteers. He served with his ikthar and brother, John. His descendant, William H. Hume of Hume, placed the SAR Marker at his grave. Also attending the grave markings were other relatives of the patriots, representatives of Historical Societies, The Huguenot Society, Colonial Dames, DAR Chapters, and state and national officers of the DAR and SAR, “———— Merry Christmas to m our (Hands, ooin ora wiQ nWi Old Hollow Grocery Rt 211 SperTyvi*#, Va. iiotmi May every moment of your Holiday be filled with joy.

The suit orders Belvoir Restaurant owners Roy E. McKoy and Patricia McKoy to appear in Alexandria’s U.S. District Court on Jan. 11 to answer criminal and civil charges that together and individually they have denied service to at least five black people since September 1963. Such violations are misdemeanors and may be puradhable by six months in jail and a $600 fine. Since October, the Route 56 restaurant between The Plains and Marshall has received statewide and national attention by virtue of almost contiuous media coverage for allegedly discriminating against blacks.. Five criminal counts against Mr. McKoy included in the Justice Department suit stem from his reftisal to comply with a 1967 federal court order requiring him to serve blacks in his restaurant. Mrs. McKoy faces one count for failure to observe the same order. Regional Shopping Mall OK’d The Loudoun Coonty Board of Supervisors gave unanimous approval Monday to the county’s first regional shopping mall. If completed, the mall would contain stores in a 600,000 square foot center on 72 acres. The land is at the intersection of Route 28 and Route 625, south of Route 7 and near Washington DuDes International Airport. The application was submitted by Nattak Development Co. of Bethesda, Md. Warrenton planning consultant Rosser H. Payne is the prefect's local representative. Board approval puts Nattak slightly ahead of a second application by Theodore N. Leaner. The Lemer proposal, which is now pending before the Planning Commission, is to build a regional mall off Route 7 just east of its intersection with Route 28.

Virginia Roundup Teacher Arrested At Fauquier High School A government teacher was charged with obstruction of justice after he allegedly impeded a drug search Wednesday at Fauquier High School. David Starner, 28, of Remington, allegedly was told "two or maybe three times to get back in his classroom,” Fauquier Sheriff Ashby Olinger said. Starner said he was only watching, and has "no idea” why he was arrested and charged with' the misdemeanor. “My teaching was disrupted. I had a right to see why.” Four state troopers, four sheriffs deputies and two canines searched the school for about 1V4 hours, but found no drugs because students apparently Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church has called Air Force Captain John Warren as its interim preacher. Capt. Warren is stationed in the Pentagon; he and his wife Cathi live in Woodbridge, Va. The Warrens say the call to Mt. Lebanon came as an answer to their prayers. Ever since coming to the Washington, D.C. area more than a year ago, he has been filling in as guest speaker in nearby churches, averaging about one speaking engagement a month. They had been praying that one church would need a bi-vocational supply pastor on a more-or-lesa regular ba Capt. Warren was born September 17, 1961 in Ft. Worth, Tex., received his bachelor's degree in experimental psychology in 1978 from the University of Texas at Arlington, and a Master's degree from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif., National Security Affairs, with emphasis on African studies. He attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Tex. He lived for 11 yean (from age 7 to 18) in Brazil, the son of a Baptist Missionary there. This give him a native fluency in Portuguese; he is also fluent in Swahili, a native African lan. guage. His father is now president of the Southern Baptist Convention serving the states of Utah and Idaho. Capt. Warren says his Biblical hero is Joshua, who was told by the Lord that if he were strong and courageous, God would bless him, it was Joshua who later said: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” The Warrens have three daughters, Aubrey, Kristen and Annie, ages 10,8and6. Mt. Lebanon Baptist Church is located on Bute 622, at Scrabble, south of WoodviHe. Morning worship services begin at 11:00 a.m. each Sunday. Sunday School begins at 9:46 a.m., and evening service at 7:00 tA knew about the raid, said Sgt. M. G. Millner. Mayor To Support Charter Chance Leesburg MayorRobert E. Sevila announced this week that he will support an amendment to the town’s charter proposed by a four-member majority of town council. The majority is seeking the char-, ter change to strip the mayor of his power to make appointments to town commissions, including the powerful Board of Architectural Review. Sevila had said he opposed the move because; appointments to the BAR should not be politically motivated. The change would give each member of council one appointment to the - BAR and other boards. However, in exchange for the mayor’s support, council agreed to approve SeVila's recommendations this year. Both local legislators—Sen. Charles L. Waddell (D-33rd) and Del. Kenneth B. Rollins (R-32nd)—said last week they would have trouble supporting the charter change unless it received unanimous approval from council. Clarke Teachers Want 12 Percent Raise Clarke County teachers want a 12 percent pay raise in 1965, Clarice County Education Association (CCEA) President Bernie Groves told the School Board recently. Groves said his members are especially concerned with better pay for teachers with more than 19 years in the system. The county's pay scale has only 19 steps and Groves called on the School Boaid to “take the limit off the the top” of the scale. The 94-member CCEA, which represents 91 percent of the county’s 106 teachers and many of the secretarial personnel, based its request on a poll which indicated teachers want an average IS percent pay raise, an. increase in both the $14,000 minimum and $28,000 maximum salaries and more money for those teachers with master’s degrees. Groves also said an informal survey of county teachers showed that of 74 responding, more than half said they will not remain in teaching or were undecided. Chief Wants To Pay Kid. With Bikes' " Bach year, police departments normally have an auction to get rid of bicycles they have impounded- But Herndon’s police chief wants to do something different. He wants the town to sanction a program that would allow youths to work for a bike. Under his plan, students would do such jobs as planting spring dowers, etc., for the town. A drawing would then be held to “award” the bikes to the workers. The local Rotary Club and the junior ROTC program at the local high school would also help in the effort. u** You’ve made it a ■ pleasure to ser*ve 1 you, friends and l customers.

But not all holiday breads are edible. The recipe and directions that follow produce a fairly permanent and extremely handsome basket that can be filled with goodies for a gift or keepsake that will be appreciated for years to come. Remember to work quickly to avoid having the dough dry out It also helps to oil the hands before working with the dough. And be sure to cover every fold and corner of the basket with glaze; missed areas wiD look white after baking.

Divide dough in half. Wrap half in wax paper and roll out the other half into a rectangle about 8x12 inches and slightly less than Minch thick. Cut dough lengthwise into 8 equal strips. Allow to sit. Divide remaining half of dough in half again. Roll out each piece with hands into a rope 80 inches long.

Because this money has been raised the department now has sufficient fluids to begin other fluid raising activities, starting January 8. As the outgoing president of this organisation I would like to extend my personal thanks to the many who have helped us, not only in our recent crisis, but throughout the past year. Many of you did not receive the individual recognition for your help which you deserved, and I hope you will accept this letter for that purpose. PETER H. LUKE President, Amissville V.F.D. Now Is The Time To the editor: “Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their county." A new twist on an oki typing exenfse, these words apply to Rappahannock and the landfill question. It’s time for unity. Through monetary costs and environmental costs, everyone in the county will be affected by a landfill. The CCRC has never recommended an alternate site for a county landfill. CCRC has only produced possible alternate locations requested by the supervisors. And now our supervisors are listening and looking for other answers to the problem of waste management. Each of us feels that our special part of Rappahannock County is too precious to scar with pita of poison. I don’t want a landfill in Woodvfile. I understand and share the love of the land expressed by Raymond Johnson and John Shafer. It’s time to explore ways of naalor the land. Let’s put our heads and hearts together .and support the supervisors in the search for a better solution.

Popcorn balls are both. They make a beautiful and festive decoration, piled on a silver tray with some sprigs of holly or a big red bow for color. And they’re absolutely delicious. Another plus is that they’re so easy to fix, the kids can do most of the making. Popcorn Balls 3 quarts freshly popped unbut tered popcorn 1 cup sugar I cup water Vi cup white com syrup 1 teaspoon vanilla Vi teaspoon salt Combine sugar, water, syrup, vanilla and salt. Cook over moderate heat to soft-ball stage, remove from heat and stir until cooled. Pour over popcorn, stir to mix and form into balls with hands. Popcorn and cranberries strung alternately cm heavy thread make the loveliest of Christmas tree garlands.
