JANUARY 2, 195:5 { S'&hXd \£o°“ ' NO. 30 Wistful Misses 1953 JANICE FOSTER, left, and twin sister, Joyce, struck these poses during their recent first birthday. To a Herald reporter on New Year's Day, Janice, tongue in cheek seems to be thinking, “I wonder if the grown-ups are really going to try to make 1953 better?” Joyce, somewhat sternly, might rightfully be declaring. “Now look here, grown folks, let's keep those. New Year’s resolu tions. After all, it won't be long before we'll have to live in a world of your making.” The twins are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Foster, of Farmville. Workmen Plaster Methodist Church Easter Completion Seen by Minister Plastering in the sanctuary of the remodeled Farmville Metho dist Church is expected to be completed this week.

Contracted by Mottlcy Con struction Company of Farmville, work to renovate the church sanc tuary has been in progress for about five months. Plans for the work were drawn by Baskcrvill and Sons of Richmond. Plans for the work were started last year when a loose beam in the church was discovered. The new' Men's Bible Classroom, located where the old heating plant was, social room and kitch en, and church offices should be completed the first of the new year. Mr. Kidd said.

Mr. 1952. who passed into history, last night, left a few records for Farm ville citizens to talk about in years to come. ■•Remember the record-breaking 106 degrees that we had for six days in 1952” might replace the current expression about the smw of 1940. E. F. Striplin. local weather ob server. said that the 106 degrees that were recorded for four days in June and two days in July were • higher than any thing that we've had for years, and perhaps high er than any thing} we’ve ever had." Low temperature for the year was recorded just in the nick of time. The six degree reading that Mr. Striplin had Monday. Dec 29. was the lowest reading for 1952 and 1951. Rainfall in 1952 was just about normal, Mr. Striplin reports. A total of 48.05 inc-hes fell during the year, and normal raiiECS be tween 44 and 48 inches. “But distribution by months and areas was poor." he said. "For example, some areas of the coun , ty had much less than we had at Farmville." November. 1952. was the wettest month with 7.06 inches, and Oct. was the driest with 1.85 inches September ran a close second for tiie driest month, with a reading og 1.94 inches. May and June, two important, farming months, were dry. with readings of 2.6 and 2.86 inches. reflectively. What 1953 will hold—well, that will be for the future to decide. However. Mr. Striplin ventured these predictions — Thursday, colder, warmer Friday and Sat colder Sunday, and pos sible rain Friday or Saturday, mat's about all lie can. say now. Month-Long ‘Dimes’ Fight Against Polio Opens Today Chairman E. E. Cook’s 1953 March of Dimes organiza tion, fully recruited and armed, starts today a month long campaign to “raise at least $4,500." Two teams, one led by L. A. WjeUs and Allen Fore, the jther by Burton Hamersley and Hfenty Hubabrd, each have nine workers ready to begin special gift and general solici tation calls in the business areas. In addition to the usual solicitation, the campaign will again make an appeal through the familial- coin boxes, several benefits during the month, and in special drives at the college and public schools. In the latter, youngsters will be given a chance to share in the polio fight by filling cards holidng five dimes. The campaign chairman today listed these campaign leaders: coin collections. Grady H. Wright; movies. Alvin Simmons: Longwood College. S. L. Graham, J. P. Wynne and Merl Landrum: ladies' organizations. James R. Kennedy, R. B. Crawford and W. W. McClintic: doctors and hospitals. A. M. DeMuth, Joseph Smith and John Graziani: pub licity. Morton Davis. Workers under the two leaders are J. H. Whitfield. T. W. Brooks. J. Hugh Garnett. Lewis Robert- j son. T. A. Allen, Larkin Pairet. ! R. A. Wilmoth. Woodrow Young. R. E. Davis. Also Lester Andrews. S. W. Putney Jr.. Tony Martin. Vernon Womack. V. V. Gordon. Frank H. Watkins. A. O. Lafoon. H. A. Birdwell and Armstrong Smith. H. L. Newbill Jr., is March of Dimes treasurer. County Workers In the county the following leaders have been named: Mrs. Elizabeth Pollard. Green Bay: Mrs. Jack Jones, Prospect: Mrs. Roach Watson, Darlington Heights: Mrs. Winston Farley. Rice: Bruce Redd, Meherrin: T. M. Dean. Worsham: R. W. Dupuy, Hampden-Sydney. Mrs. H. V. McKnight will direct the solicitation among colored residents in Farmville. Last year, the March of Dimes here raised approximately $4,500. Chairman Cook said the decision to try to equal or better that was made on the basis of continuing needs here as great as at that time. Alien Address Cards Are Available Now At Farmville Office Annual address report cards for aliens in this area are now avail able at the Farmville Post Office. Department of Immigration of the United States is required by an art of Congress to receive an nual reports of addresses of all aliens living in this country. "Several persons in this area did not know where to get their report cards, last year." D. W. Paulette, postmaster, said. “They are to be filled out and returned to the post office. The post office will forward the cards to the De partment of Immigration." Aliens arc required to make known their address and certain Thor information to the depart ment, each year. The cards, or forms, are available at post of fices on or about Jan. 1 of each year. It is important that every alien — a foreign-born resident of a country in which he docs not pos sess the privileges of a citizen— to fill out an annual address re port card. G.O.P. ELEPHANT Burma, a five-and-a-half-ton elephant, now wintering with a circus in Greenville. Ohio, will be m the inaugural parade on Janu ary 20th, The circus will also send two other elephants to the pa rade. Polio Foundation Grant To Be Asked 1952 Case l^oad Exhausts Funds Prince Edward county's polio case load during 1952 required a grim, uphill battle of finances. S. L. Graham, president of the county chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paraly sis, today gave this terse sum mary: income from last Janua ry's March of Dimes. $2,250: treatment of new cases and carry over cases, $4,700. The last March of Dimes raised $4,500. half of which went into the local treasury. The remaining half went ip the National Foun dation for epidemic and research financing. Grant Requested Mr. Graham said a request is now before the National Founda tion for a grant to the county chapter here to make up the dif ference between the county's share of the last March of Dimes and the cost of polio care and rehabilitation here. During 1952. Prince Edward county recorded four new cases requiring hospitalization and treatment and helped finance therapy treatments of three carry-over cases. Assistance to m dividuals^ran all the way from $70 to $2,000. The continued treatment of cases from former years is paying huge dividends, Mr. Graham said. It takes funds, but it is effective, bringing health and normalcy nearer to those struck by polio in its physically handicapping form. Foundation Helps The request for additional funds is a normal procedure, since the National Foundation takes approximately half ol March of Dimes funds, then plows them back to areas where the case load is greater than local resoures can in^et. In addition, the National Foundation is the financing agency for vast programs of re search into the causes of polio and treatment methods—a pro gram many believe on the verge of victory. Looking at local finances, lead ers are agreed that the case load and the need to extend a helping hand in the great, national pro grams of research demand no les sening of support here of the 1953 March of Dimes. Episcopal Vestry Elects 1953 Officers J L. Bugg was elected senior warden at a meeting of the old and new vestries of Johns Me morial Church at the Parish House. Wednesday night. Other elected officers for the coming year were H. L. Newbili, junior warden: B B. Hanbury. legister: and Dr. Gordon Moss, treasurer. TOBACCO MARKET TO REOPEN MONDAY Fagmville Tobacco Market re opens Monday morning at 9 a. in., with the customary three sales. Sales will continue uninterrupted until the season wind-up. Holiday Buying Brought New Volume Records 9 Local Merchants Report'‘Bie-«rest In Store History’ Farmville merchants who didn't approach or set new record dollar and merchandise volumes during the rec' nt holiday-shopping are relatively f^w in number. A check of store owners and managers this week showed that for most business places, shop pers created "biggest sales in the history of the stoic." As one manager put it. "the traffic and demand were here, and the merchant who didn't get a record share should check his merchandising methods." The Herald survey also reveal ed that buying traffic in stores here hit probably an all - time high. Several merchants also re ported spotting folks from greater distances than in previous years. Parking Helps That pleasant experience they attribute to the town's growing popularity as a shopping center and to the excellent parking facil ities available. An interesting trend was re ported often enough in the sur vey to have been generally true throughout the buying area of the town. In the weeks aftrr the elec tion. buyers were conservative, cautious. It took good merchan dising to conclude a sale. Drop Caution Then in the latter weeks a No vember and as the holiday season approached, folks dropped their caution. "They really had it. to spend and thry spent it." was a common reply in the survey. "Looked like they finally figured things weren't going to pop wide open after all " one said. Merchants, however, were most ly in agreement that the trend is more and more toward a "buyer's market.' That is one m which the burden rests on the merchant. It means a return to the ' pick and choose" methods where buyers have to be really sold, instead of having to be con tent with whatever is available. "Folks had the money to spend but you had to produce what they wanted." one manager put it. "If your stocks wi re right you had a sale." * A Look Ahead The survey also revealed an other common agreement among merchants—business will continue good and upward at least through the next big merchandising per iod. spring and the apparel change-over. Their trade journals and then own opinions are alike. It looks good for six months Maybe long er. few like to hazard an opinion beyond the half-year mark. Grass Fire Urines Firemen Tuesday The Farmville Fire Department was called out Tuesday afternoon about 4:15 to help extinguish a grass lire at the home of Austin Ayres on the Cumbf rland road. The comity truck hose- quickly subdued the burning grass, with out damage to any property. f I IRI: M lyN S l M MON ED TO M.V1N STREET STORE An overloaded electrical line shorted and burned Monday morning about 11:1a a. in., at the Green Front grocery store. Main street. Firemen were summoned by a general alarm, but the burn ing wire was extinguished with out further damage. NEWS SUMMARY _ WEST GERMAN TRADE WITH RUSSIA NIPPED After a long uphill battle. Unite". Slates and Vest German officials believe they have largely stopped the flow of strategic goods to the Communist coun tries. This is an important victory for the West in the economic war with Moscow. Although the United States. Canada and the big West European countries started limiting shipments in 1949. West Germany was virtually an open door for trade with the Soviets as late as^9ol. The Communists , Hum were draining perhaps a half billion dollars a year in strategic mate rials from West Germany. STEEL ALLOCATIONS BRIGHTEN 1953 VIEW The government announced this week a record allocation of structural steel—1.69...000 tons— will be distributed to the nation's builders for the second quarter of 1953. It is the biggest allocation made since the defense mobiliza tion program began more than two years ago "The Defense Production Ad ministration said the new steel ration assures a speedup next spring in expansion of vital pub lic services — highways, bridges, power, barges, railroad cars and locomotives. DRAFT MAY DIP TO 19-YEAR-OLDS Selective Service said this week that any of its state directors who find it necessary to draft 19-year-olds to fill upcoming calls for the armed forces may do so. An official told a reporter he did not know how many states would be forced to take 19-year olds to meet the cad for 53,000 mcli for the Army ;n February "but it will be several.' The official said there had been some misunderstanding con cerning a February, 1952, direc tive to the states that they should draft all men 20-years of age or older before taking any 19-year olds. SAYS REDS OUTBUILD U. S. IN PLANES 3 TO 1 Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg. Air Force chief of staff. believes Soviet Russia has produced five times as many piar.cs as the United States during the last five years. Declaring tnut any cut back in U. S. plant production could be '•catastrophic." Vanden bcrg.said: "Even today the Rus sians are equalling our output, or perhaps bettering it.” Vandenberg expressed his views in an article written for Planes, official publication of the Aircraft Industries Association. HOUSE PROBERS WANT MORE ON UN WORKERS Angry House investigators this week asked .Secretaiy of State Achcson to testify on what Rep. Frank Chclf <D-Ky> culled the State Department s “colossal flop” in dealing with disloyal American^ in the Uinud Nations. Achcson ‘announced he would ac cept the invitation to ap|>oar. The request for Achcson to take the witness stand came right after the Cabinet officer rejected a demand that he disclose the names of State Department offi cials in charge of checking on the loyalty of American citizens on the U N. payroll. Achcson said he was acting “on instructions” from President Truman. BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR 1953 By ROGER \V. BABSON 1 Business wil start the yea 1953 in high gear. The pact will slacken however, as the yea r unfol ds, with total busi ness volume for 1953 smaller than for 1952." The powerful B®*«r w supports of the Great Boom— construction and automobiles— will lose strength as the year ad vances. 2. Baring World War III. 1953 will find business operating under less government control than any year since outbreak of the Ko rean War. But don't expect re moval of price controls to help profit margins. 3. Salient economic feature is the fact that our productive capa city has now been expended to the point where, barring World War III. output can take care of both arms and civilian needs. 4 The handwriting is on the wall against inefficient operators. Their days are numbered. The sucessful businessman next year will be the one who can control his costs and stay out front in his market. 5. I strongly urge my business friends to get out and sell, and sell hard next year: but hire the best cost accountants you can for the back office. "Order takers" will find fewer jobs as 1953 moves along 6. Mv forecasts for 1953 are made rn the assumption that World War III w ill not strike dur ing the year. However. I want to make it clear that "all bets are off’ the day Stalin dies or re tires. 7. The H-bomb gives us an other lease on time. Our first lease, from Hiroshima in 1945 to the Russian A-bomb explosion in 1949. was fritered away in idle bickering. This time we will have another "breather." It may be our last chance. 8. 1953 will be most important in the struggle for World Peace We will need more than an F bomb to win the peace We shall need a great rise of spiritual strength, which is not now evi dent. New Business Boom 9. The lone business boom fol lowing World War II was begin ning to run out of steam when the Korean War gave it a new lease on life. However, the stimu lus of defense spending is already fading. Barring further inter national troubles, defense activitv in 1953 will be a floor under, and not a new stimulus to. business activity. 10 Capital expansion will move into a readjustment phase some time in 1953. This has been ai> outstanding economic force be hind our long period of good times. Nevertheless. I do not now anticipate any sharp break in business. If a slide starts it should be grateful not steep. 11. Big credit expansion bos been a powerful “shot in the arm" for business during the pa^t two years. I predict that in 1953 loan repayments will become more important than new credit advances. This could handicap over-all business unless adver tising expenditures are increased. 12. Under an Eisenhower Ad ministration I do not look for ex pansion of our money supplies as a result of increased deficit fin ancing. Thus, another stimulat ing force will be absent next year despite the better confidence fol lowing the Eisenhower landslide. Conservatism In Government 13. Although General F.isen howere ran far ahead of his tick et. there has been a considerable gain in the conservative comple tion of Congress. The margin in favor of conservatism is not measured by the slight excess of Republicans over Democrats. It results from the fact that several Democrats can be counted in the conservative* column. The em phasis will be on purifying Bur eaus and Commissions. 14. All government departments will be at the service of the Re publicans after January 20. Never before in the history of the United States has a conservative government had such a powerful bueaucracy at its finger tips. In 1953 we shall see the use of Lhcs" bureaus to aid rather than handi cap business. Hang Onto Your Job 15. Unemployment wiH be no problem for the workers of the nation during the early months of 1953. The demand for and the supply cf labor promise to hold in good balance. Later, however, unemployment will increase, reaching its highest point toward the end or the year. 16. While employment runs high during the first part of the year, strikes will continue to plague management. Unions, however will be cautious s'1 that they will not bring down 02 then heads the legislative wrath of a conservative Congress. 17. During the early months of 1953 amendments to the Taft Hartley Act will be moderate. Great labor turmoil would surely result in severe restrictions on labor being read into the Act. All in all. I forecast a decline in strike totals for 1953. 18. Looking to the year 1953. I am urging my friends and then children to work, more faithfully at their jobs. Thev should not be fonl°d by present high demand for labor. Earlv 1953 should be used to ' die in" and work harder. Drifters will be the first to be !6t go. Price Forecasts 19. Barring World War III and severe droughts, the supply of most raw materials, farm pro ducts. and manufactured goods promise to be adeouate during 1953. Even the so-called invisible inventories in the hands of con sumers are high as a result of heavy buying since the outbreak of the Korean War. I anticipate few shortages next year. 20. Do n"t foreet that there is alwavs a big IP in the supply situation with regard to farm products. Severe drought could cause havoc. One is already long overdue. Scan closely weather re norts from the nation's ' bread basket." 21. The demand for goods \vill be stronger in the first half of the year than it will be during the last half. Disposable income will hold close to current high levels during the first half of 1953. 22. Total pay rolls will hold well, with prospects favoring a slight drop during the late months of 1953. 23. Farm gross income will strengthen along seasonal lines during the first four or five months of 1953. If we then avoid j drought. I look for a lower farm income during the second half of the year. 24. The trend of wholesale com moditv prices xv'U remain in a basic long-term downswing. Look for temporary price recoveries in many croups during the early part of 1953. but do not let them fool you. 25. Unless more■Hnterna t iona 1 troubles or drought strike hard, living costs should average some lower in 1953 than in 1952. Here again, the tapering-off will occur late, not early in the year Retail Trade 26 Over-all trade in 1953 will be close to 1952 levels as far as phvsical volume is' concerned, with a moderate decline in dol lar totals. The most attractive merchandising investments should be: <li Supermarket groceries: <2> Variety chains: (3) Mail or der stores: and <4> Department stores, excepting a few in the largest and most congested cities. 27. Demand for capital goods will hold strong during most of 1953. A definite slowing, how oxer. -will take place at some time. 1953 sales of consumer dur ables should about equal 1952's total sales, which xx-ere restricted by the steel strike. 28. Movement of soft goods dur ing 1953 should be about the same as during 1952. Some fresh ening of demand in tbs early months mav be offset late.' by a renewed lull. Real Kstate 29. Barring World War III. rent controls will be a thing of the past in most areas by the end of 1953. 30. Home building will be less in 1953. Prices mav xveaken dur ing the latter part of the year. Building costs should edge lower. Only small new houses will be in demand. 31. In my opinion, the cost of mortgage money will tend some what higher during 1953. 32. Construction of municipal and public works should rise moderately in 1953 as compared with 1952. This may be stepped up sharply late in the year if business falters. There may be a surplus of tax-free bonds 33. A moderate slide-off in the sale of commercial farm proper-, ties can be expected. No bad break, however, seems likely in 1953. Fear of World War III. moreover, should help farm prices. 34. Population trend is away from the big cities Fear of pos sible bombing and automobile oxercrowding will continue as a drag on city really values. Con tinued migration from the urban centers will help surburban pro perties. 35. For those who plan buying nexv hemes in 1953. I strongly urge the purchase of aceragc in suitable surburban areas. Surely, the H-bomb experiments should quicken the trend toward subsist- 1 ance farms. 36. As public housing programs ' Continued on page 3 I New Year Enters On Calmer Note. Accident-Free Merry - Making Subdued. Police Hospital Find The community said farewell to 1952 Wednesday night without untoward incident. Or perhaps, it can be said 1953 was greeted cautiously. In either event, the old year sneaked out in the shadow's of fog and drizzle after a dismal swan song throughout its final day. And the analogy is carried fur ther by moving up the clock to 8 a. m . January 1. 1953. which broke with a brisk clearness, pos sibly indicative of the next 365 days. Police Report Quiet Farmvilie police said the night was uneventfully free of trouble, argument or injury. The South side Community Hospital also was without admissions chargeable to New Year celebrations Up to noon. January 1. 1953 had not brought any new faces at the maternity ward at the hos pital. either. There was still 12 hours to go. however, it was noted there hopefully, then. TV Kelt A new form of celebration, at once mingling the raucous and the safety of a home living room, may have helped induce more than the usual quiet. For TV made its pres ence felt, as numerous families watched within the safe confines of home, while revelers churned up Times Square and the metro politan night spots. There was no reports of high way accidents in this immediate area to mar the note of celebra ; tion. j Celebration of a new year, a brighter day, was limited by the thoughts in the minds of many of the troubled spots around the world, and the community had its share of prayers for these. War Pain Kelt While 1952, expired, war in Ko I rea. Indochina and Malaya, re vision in the Middle East, seeth i ing m Africa, but marked another 1 year. Standing threateningly per . haps, above all eiese on the thres ; hold of 1953. was the world I skating struggle between the East and West. j For these there were prayers and, as 1953 dawned, the hope that 365 days hence, these sore : spots might be eased. Sunday Will Begin J C Methodist Revival Visiting Ministers | Will Come In April Prayer Covenant Day will be observed in the Farmville Meth odist Church Sunday. Jan. 4. in preparation for the Methodist United Evangelistic Mission, which will be held m the 1184 churches in the Virginia Confer ence. April 17-24. Methodist peo ple will be called upon to pray daily, at 6 p. m.. for the bishop, pastors, and leaders in the evan gelistic mission: for those who are not professing Christians: and for individuals upon the prayer list. This is the beginning of a re vival. consisting of preaching services and visitation which will be held in the Methodist churches of the Virginia Conference in April, when the pastors of the Western North Carolina. Confer ence will come into the Virginia churches to preach and lead the visitation evangelism. This is a part of the Methodist United Evangelistic Mission, which will be conducted in the Southeastern Jurisdiction of the church, covering the States (Ken tucky. Tennessee. Virginia, North Carolina. South Carolina. Geor gia, Florida. Alabama. Mississip pi' and Cuba. Preaching services will be held in one half of these churches. April 17-24. and in the other half.

Christmas Brightened Bv Public’s Gifts The generosity of many people in their contrwutions of items to be distributed as Christmas gifts has added greatly to the en joyment of the holiday season by patients at the U. S. Army Hos pital, at Camp Pickett. The leading contributors are tile people of America, who. both directly and indirectly, have given hundreds of gifts to the Service. Edgar Bergen's "Operation Santa Claus," and the American Red Cross- have acted as agents for articles, stationery, Christmas the public by distributing the do nated gifts to the patients. Hos pitals Special Services has supple mented these agencies by distri buting hundreds of thousands of cigarettes contributed bv business organizations, groups, and indivi duals of Virginia too numerous to even attempt naming.

Tax Easing Slight 27. Tax relief will come mostly from expiration of present laws lather than from a new enlight- 1 ened tax program. Barring fur- i ther international problems, the present corporate excess-profits tax will be permitted to expire at ■the end cf June. 1953. 38 If the need for new taxes continues high, after expiration of the excess-profits tax. the'new Congress may consider additional excise-or manufactures' sales tax es. They may also serve to dis- ; courage consumer spending, if the war danger becomes acute 39 State and local taxes may be increased moderately here and there during the year 1953. How ever. I do not look for total ’ad vances in such to be so great in 1953 as they were in 1952. 40 There will be no increase iti j capital-gains during 1953; hut] read paragraph 46 below. Income] taxes may be reduced. j 41. Exports will fall again in; 1953. The drop in imports will be much less than in exports. The! n*‘w Administration will be urged j to promote foreign trade instead: cf foreign aid. Only by buying1 our neighbors’ goods can we get them off the relief rolls. To save ourselves. I predict, we will buv mere abroad, although this will be hard on some United States; manufacturers 42. I look for no change in the | official United States buving price for gold. We won’t ''monkey with” the mint price of gold until the nation gets really "hard up.” Stocks And Bonds 43. For the year as a whole I look for business profits to be slightyl lower than in 1952. Earn ings will be better during the early months, with a decline ocur ling later in the year. Profit mar gins will be cut by stiffer compe tition from both domestic and foreign souces. 44. Recently upped wages, plus 1 some additional 1953 boosts, will also put heavier cost pressure on profits. 45. Some companies that have been hard hit by excess-profits i taxes may show improved earn ings when the excess-profits tax expires June 30. 46. There will be a cushion un der falling profits provided by the j current very high tax rates. If profits slide. Uncle Sam will share, the heavier loss. This very fact, however, will make it difficult for! Congress to reduce the rate of taxation. 47. Stocks are high historically, i We are approaching the end of a j '£«r 1953 CHEVROLET i mmiiT m*m mount « rrartrrm rr~— £y&ux*t0 ■~cj(2*v. Newman Chevrolet Sales Co. SECOND & SOI TH STS.

Yet. do not forget that the stock market was at about the same price point when President Hoover won by a landslide in 1928 With business prospects good for early 1953, confidence might again cause a temporary boom. If an "Eisenhower bull maket" develops, I strongly urge readers to take profits and build up re serves. Within 12 months after Hoover entered the White House the Industrial Average fell 100 points. 49. New Administration will not favor "soft money" policy There fore. some further rise in interest rates seems probable. For th.s reason. I favor high-grade, sho ' term bonds, rather than Ion - term. 50. Finally: Wise investors ».v taking no action unless prepared i > folio.v a carefully planned and supervised investment program The keysttne of this program will. ,11 1953 as in 1952. prove to La- a policy of diversification and se lectivity. Among those groups which offer safety and good yield are certain fire insurance stock.,, bank stocks, variety chain store stocks, food processing companies, and telephone companies.

Sponsored by the < ham her of Commerce, the dogwood seed lings were obtained at a special price. In a lew years the plantings will enrich the present beauty of Clarke County. 1 his activity is along- the line- suggested lor Prince Edward several times in the past. With two main highways bisecting the county a few dollars and some effort spent in landscaping scenic spots would give the county a face-lifting. A start on such a project could be made on the highways within the corporate limits of Farmville. } II is a thought well worth considering for 1953. Left Undone ,^S WE ASSESS the past year we can say that "we have left undone those things we should have done, and done thosi/things which we should not have done.” Regard loss of our good resolutions and regardless of our efforts and good intentions we can never get around to doing all of the things we should do. It is equally true that we will do those things we should not do. So when it is time for New Year’s resolutions we can consider only the most important things we should do and the most import ant things we should not do. To attempt a blanket, .resolution covering all of our frail ties is to be swamped to the point that Now Year’s resolutions far exceed our ability to cope. It is not so it we choose our principal deficiencies and concentrate on them, re lying for help upon One stronger than we are. In our own strength we are unable to cope with strongly entrenched habits, and we must call upon God for help, which means daily contacts through prayer. Tift* greater number of human frailties are those of omission. Possibly the great est crime against ourselves is the wastage of time. Time moves on incessantly, a min ute lost or squandered can not be recover ed. it is gone forever. Therefore, the sys tematic use of time is one of life's most.im portant problems. The people* we know who things done are thosje who appropriate their time* to the various activities. Some how they get around to do the majority of the things they have planned to do. It is an art. gained through training and wise plan ning. Tin ideal would be eight hours for labor, eight hours for refreshment, and eight hours for rest, but we know of few who are abbs to maintain such a schedule. We don’t know that progress could, have been made under this schedule. Thomas Edison i- -aid to have used only four hours in rest, and other men and women who have contributed greatly to the progress of mankind have.* exceeded the ideal schedule. Nevertheless, there is no evidence that Mr. Edison wasted his time and we can be fairly certain that he appropriated it wisely. Of all the New Year’s resolutions one can make, we believe, the most important is a wise appropriation of one’s time. At the enp of the year we will find ourselves less critical of the “things we have left un done.’’ What applies to the individual also ap plies to organizations. There are those who think the nation and the community are over-organized. There may be some logic in the idea, but it must be remembered that the population of the United States has greatly increased and there must be some organization in which every one should have a part. One man said to us recently that all organizations should be dissolved for a per iod of one year and everybody attend to his own business. Of course, this is an over statement, but we do agree that commu nity organizations should assess their work for the past year and examine their pro grams for the coming year, set a goal which is a possibility and bend every effort toward reaching it. In some cases, new ideas, new enthusi asm, new faces are needed. Too many of the same people belong to and assume respon sibilities in community organizations prin cipally because they will take the lead where others hesitate. Development of ad ditional talent is always helpful. We do not think the community over-organized, on the contrary, there are too few people car ryiiig their part of the responsibility, or contributing their ability and enthusiasm toward reaching the goals set. New hori zons, new enthusiasm, new w o r k e r s can increase the value of worthwhile com munity, social and religious organizations. Why not make the New Year’s resolu tion one which can be kept and determine now to appropriate valuable time, to assume a share of the responsibility in whatever oiganization you choose for the year 10537 Canada Faces Facts W/iTHOl'T in any way getting into parti sail polities we wish to commend the courage of the Canadian Government, hi an effort to counter a Soviet cold-war of fensive the administration in Ottowa is risking defeat in next year's election. This is the picture. Stalin has frankly announced that Communist strategy hinges on an attempt to pull .Japan and Germany into the Rus sian orbit with what might he called ‘'eco nomic magnets." The plan is to take ad vantage of the tendency of tin anti-Com munist nations to raise tariffs against .Jap anese and German goods. Moscow will try to make trade with the Soviet so attractive for the two countries that they will he drawn away from the West. Canada’s answer is to send a special • mission to Tokyo to negotiate a trade agree mnt designed to give .Japan a better mar ket in Canada. This makes a lot of sense. Such action is vastly more effective than bushels of anti-Comnjunist propaganda. But it can tie very unpopular with certain Canadians. All who feel that Japanese im ports would endanger their own business will react unfavorably. Enough ol tins sentiment' could tip the. balance of an elec tion. Here is the political risk the Ottowa government is taking it) its economic plans for chocking the Reds. The same problem faces the Ended States. American expenditures in Japan for the Korean war are temporarily hiding the “impossible" economic position of Japan. But this is an artificial arrangement. It should be supplemented and gradually re placed with long-rangy- measures to help Japan maintain a healthy economic life within the free world. W'e hope Washing ton will match Ottawa’s courage in shap ing such measures— and that public opinion in both countries will support these efforts to defeat Kremlin strategy. — Christian Science Monitor. Penalize Weatherman 4 ( 'hiucse Nationalist weather man was recently accused by an agency of the Nationalist Government of "losing a ty phoon." The weatherman was charged with tailing to chart properly the course of the disastrous typhoon. Instead of going where the weatherman predicted, the typhoon struck Formosa on November 1 1th. without warning. The storm left over 150 dead an*l missing and injured about lot*. It also destroyed almost 10.000 homes and damaged an even larger number. In the Chinese- view, the weatherman, had he acted properly, could have accurate ly predicted the course of the typhoon. 11 is failure is being considered grounds for punitive action. We have sometimes wondered if this policy would not improve our own weather prediction system and regret that the sci ence of weather is not that simple. One of the marvels of our age is that the Cnited States continues to go its wav wit hunt any form of universal military training, while depending on a draft and its veterans to supply armed services man power. After thinking it over, we have eon eluded that Santa Claus has the easier time "f it, compared to the housewife who must buy thirty or forty presents and send hun dreds of cards, plus tending to a family and tiie annual Christmas cookery.

To each and every one of you Wherever you may be, 1 wish you joy and happiness In Nineteen Fifty Three. Hopefully yours, L. I). Whitaker CMUBIID AH]i By Ted Resting There is a good choice of bolt action shotguns on the market this year and they offer the op portunity of getting off on the right side of the cash register. Pete Brown, our arms expert, re ports : "I have made a survey of the bolt-actions on the market this year and have done some shoot ing with them. I am not a bolt action fan where shotguns are concerned, but I will say this. If a better shotgun was going to stand between me and the chance to get out in the field. I would get a bolt-action. Where ballistic performance is concerned, the bolt-action will shoot just as hard i an dfar as any other shotgun." When it comes to' functioning, the bolt-actions arc in a class by themselves. As repeaters, any of them are rather clumsy and not as fast as the other types of repeaters. In the first place, the bolts are of necessity long. la’"'e in diameter and heavy. The bolt handles are far forward—shotgun butt stocks (from butt to trigger* are about one inch longer than rifle stocks and the oolt handles are pretty well forward as it is. When loading a second shot, it is necessary — unless you are a long-arined guy — to do some leaching for the bolt handle. Therefore, you wont get that second well-directed shot off as quickly as you will with other types of repeaters. The bolt action shotguns are not w hat you would call smooth operating and. generally speaking, they arc not a beautiful gun. Still, they're excc.lent for the beginner. You get a lot of gun in one of these bolt-actions and they are guns you can use safely —you can also bag game and en joy shooting them. If I wasn't going to do a lot of shooting and wasn't sure that I would stay in the sport, I would be tempted by the bolt-actions. They are a good proposition for a young fellow starting out. He can find out whether he wants to stick with the sport and at the same time come to a better decision on what to get when he decides to buy a more expensive gun. If you have the opportunity1 of looking at various models i before making a selection, by all means do so. There is no substi tute for seeing and feeling. Chicago.

Thus, New Year's dinner might feature a baked ham with raisin and orange sauce, as both festive and thrifty. Tangerines are tailored by nature for lunch boxes or between-meal snacks because they are so con venient to peel and separate into segments for eating out of hand. Also expected in plenty for the first month of the new year arc: Domestic dried figs: grapefruits: almonds: filberts; walnuts; and honey for sweeting. Eggs will be more plentiful and lower in price than in recent months. Also plentiful will be heavy turkeys and frozen fish. Dairy (oods that will continue in good supply are: dry skimmilk (nonfat dry milk solids', butter milk and cottage cheese. Finally, there will be plenty of Kirri at very reasonable prices, vegetable shortening, salad oils and 'table fat. Sc retire Matthew 15. Devotion..1 Heading Psalm 51 6-11. 15-17 *Sw** Living From Heart Lesson for January 4. 1033 WHEN YOU are studying a for eign language for the first time, one of the Lug "humps" is learning the vocabulary. It's dull but necessary. You can know the rules of grammar down to the last footnote; you can pronounce the words "like a native;" but if you don't know what the words mean, you are sunk. All this is just as true in trying to understand the Bible as it is in understanding any thing else. ♦ * • “Heart" Means Many Things The Bible word 'heart'' is one of those that can be easily misun derstood. It speaks often of the heart. “Out of it are the issues of life." says the Proverb (Prov. 4:23). "These peo ple honor me with their lips, but their heart is far from me," says the prophet Isaiah. Jesus says that it 15 what comes ,rom Dr. Foreman a man's heart that makes him unclean. What, exact ly. does ' heart " mean, in the Bible'.’ It could mean a number of things that it does not mean. It is seldom used, in the Bible, in the literal sense of the physical organ that pushes the blood around. No ancient peoples knew the tine physiology of the heart. Also, the Bible writers seldom, if ever, use the word in our common figurative sense of emotion, or the emotional life. If we today say that a certain person's heart rules his head, we mean by that, that his intellect is not as strong as }iis. feelings. A smart and unscrupulous lawyer, in addressing a jury, will ias he might say1! "go for their hearts, not for their heads." That is. he expects them to be swayed by prejudice and emotion, not by the facts in the case. But this too is not the Bible meaning of heart Certainly it is never balanced off I against the mind nr the intellect. • • • Bible Meaning of "Heart'’ Even in modern times, with all our passion for scientifically ac curate terms, there is no one word which means just what this word "heart" means in the Bible. There the heart stands for the center of the personality as a whole. If we used such words as "core" or "root" or "mainspring" of life, we should be getting at the idea. It is not emotional, though it af fects the emotions. It is not in tellectual, though it lies back of thinking. It does not quite mean character, rather it means the tap root of character. Let us try to illustrate it. Tell the same piece of news to several peo ple—say the report of some acci dent or disaster, and see how they react. One will be quite indifferent, one will burst into tears, another will laugh, another will say, "Can't we do something to help?" Now' what makes the difference? All have heard the same words, but the words have different ef fects. In Bible language, the rea son is that they have different hearts. The inner makeup is some thing deeper than what the eyes see or the ears hear, it is deeper than the brain, it lies at the bot tom of the feelings. When the Bible speaks of a person's heart, it is not speaking of the way he acts or talks or feels or thinks; it means the way the man is. * * * God Sees Through Paint If there was one sort of per son for whom Jesus had no use whatever, it was a hypocrite. A hypocrite is a person who has learned the fatal trick of short circuiting his heart from his out ward actions. The hypocrite turns a smile on and off as he would turn a water faucet, not because he feels like smiling or frowning, tout because he thinks a smile is called for: he will say one thing and think another His apparent emo tions, language, actions, have no more relation to his real inner self than the actions of a clown in a circus A clown can act very funny with his painted smile, though inwardly full of bitterness or grief He acts comical because he is paid for it. not necessarily because he feels gay. Jesus liked people who live from within, who have no short-circuit , bet ween what they arc on the out ' side and what they are on the in ode. He did not care much for a ! fig-tree which was really nothing 1 out tigs stuck on a thorn bush. Tins is why the Bible has so much to say ibout the heart. If God has a . man's hen ft. he has the man.

Virginia Service Lists Farmers’ Pig Plans For Spring 1 "'Virginia farmers’ reports on breeding intentions for the spring of 1953 indicate 80,000 sows to farrow between December 1 and June 1. a decrease of 18 per cent from 1952. This will be the small est number of sows to farrow in the spring since 1945. Low prices for hogs in relation to feed costs and the small 1952 corn crop are the chief reasons tor the antici pated decline. If present breeding intentions are carried out and the number of pigs saved per litter equals the 10-year aver gc at 6.4, the 1953 spring pig crop would be about 512,000. a drop of 22 per cent from 1952, the Virginia Crop Reporting Service states. The fall pig crop, estimated at 536,000 pigs was slightly less than had been forecast last June and was 10 per cent less tnan the 1951 fall crop of 598.000. Thre average number of pigs saved per litter was 6.7 which was slightly below the 1951 average of 6.8. The num ber of sows farrowing this fall was estimated at 80.000. 9 per cent below the fall of 1951. The spring pig crop amounted to 657,000 head which was an in crease of one per cent over the 1951 crop. The average number of pigs saved per liner, estimated at 6.7. was unusually lull and Una accounts for the large nu.i.ix . of pigs saved since tlio number ol sows farrowing was 98.000 com pared with 103.000 in Id T Total number of pigs saved during the year was 1.193.000 wnich was a decrease of 4 per cent from the 1951 crop but was 5 5 per cent above the 10-year avearge.
