Woodville, that are not paved (or paved only here and there, to prevent washouts). It is hardly possible to see one house from the next. The Joneses have no idea as to our standing relative to themselves or to each other. Nor do we. We cannot see the hilltop construction which plagues much of the county. Life continues as before, but we are uneasy about our new image. I, for one, find it thoroughly distasteful. ' JOHN CADWALADER, JR.

Books
Appreciated
To the Editor:
During the past week the appearance of the Washington Town Hall was dramatically enhaned through the addition of books to the bookshelves, which have remained bare since the departure of the Rappahannock County Library.
This was made possible by the library returning some of the books it currently stores in its basement to their former home. The task was accomplished through the hard work of Doctors William Young and Hallie Morgan and the staff of the library, supported by Sheriff John Henry Woodward’s providing the help fo the trustees. I would like to express my appreciation on behalf of the Town for an effort we can all enjoy.

A couple of years ago when we were living in Fairfax County, my husband and I were approved to be foster parents for a refugee child from Haiti. We weren’t foster parents for long. The particular teenager we received kept our family in turmoil from Day One. We threw in the towel after a couple of months, and the child was shifted to a Haitian family in the District.
Given our unfortunate experience, my husband was surprised to be contacted by the foster-child’s agency, Lutheran Social Services, last week. The social worker urged us to try taking another—children this time from Cuba. Apparently there are eight boys, ages 13 to 18, being discharged from the camp at Guantanamo Bay in the next month. They have no relatives in the U.S. to care for them, so they need American foster parents.
We were tempted to open our house and our hearts again, but one circumstance prevents us from doing so: We now live in a smaller house, with three bedrooms for five people; We simply don’t have spare space. If anyone out there thinks they might like to try this, you are welcome to contact me at 937-3368 or 937-3541 for more information.
Lutheran Social Services does not require foster parents to be young married couples—single people and retired people are welcome in their program. You don’t even have to be able to speak the child’s language. But, if you’re interested,
