There was a record turnout, with over seventy people attempting to donate, and fifty-three units of blood were collected.
The large turnout was in response to the upcoming need of a county resident for many units of blood. We thank all those who responded so enthusiastically to the request for blood donations for this county resident, and we thank our regular and faithful donors.
We also wish to thank the Washington Rescue Squad for allowing us once again to use their building. Our next Bloodmobile will be in November and we invite all of those donating in May to return.

To the Editor:
Rappahannock County is part of the first area of the state that will require able bodied welfare recipients to work in exchange for the benefits. The program begins here July 1, along with Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Culpeper counties. The program begins in the D.C. suburbs next April, and is scheduled to be phased in statew ide over four years.
Welfare reform (or workfare) is a pet project of Gov. George Allen that is strongly supported by Rappahannock Del. Jay Kat/en. At first glance it looks simple and appealing: within 90 days welfare recipients must find a job or do community service. If they don’t, they lose benefits.
But the program has more questions than answers, and neither Allen nor his often-time clone Kat/en seem to ha\e a clue as to,how this program can or will function.
