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.

1952 Temperature Records Will Nudge 1940 Snow Talk

Temperature-wise. 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.

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.

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.
