Cannon of Castleton.

30 YEARS AGO

Jan. 11,1973

Over the objections of Supervisor H. B. Wood Jr., Rappahannock will be a member of Virginia Planning District 9, which will have an organizational meeting at 8 p.m. Jan. 16 at the Culpeper Town Hall.

District 9 is the last regional planning district in Virginia to be organized, and will be composed of the counties of Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper, Madison and Orange, and the towns of Warrenton and Culpeper.

Painting a double “no passing” line on Route 211 in the vicinity of the entrance to Rappahannock High School is favored by the Rappahannock Board of Supervisors.

Rappahannock’s Supervisors are so distressed by roadside litter that they’d like to see the State of Virginia pass a law banning all throwaway bottles and cans.

Chairman of the board Newbill Miller brought the subject up at last Thursday’s January meeting. He said he’d been asked to sound out the board’s feelings, and commented himself that it seems that “seven-eighths of the litter is throwaway bottles and cans.”

The Sperryville Bridge Club met with Mrs. R. E. Thompsen at Cab-Inn on Friday night.
