Ruritan Club I^eads Sponsors Another chink in the fire fight ing armor in this area was filled last week with arrival of Pamp lin's new 600-gallen capacity, super-fog fire fuck. Purchased from the American Fire Apparatus Company, the up tj-the-minute truck represents an outlay of approximately $7,000. The streamlined fire - fighting machine is mounted on a Ford F-6 chassis. On arrival, the red beauty drove majestically into new quarters in the Municipal Building at Pamp lin. recently enlarged by the town council for the purpose. Company Formed Waiting to answer the alarm and fling themselves on the | bright brass supports about the truck is a recently formed Pamp lin Volunteer Fire Department of 49 members, headed by Fire Chief Harry J.

Ruritan Project Acquisition and arrival of the truck culminates a long year's effort spear-headed by the Pamp lin Ruritan Club, which char acteristically saw a need and set about to fill it. In the point of the spearhead, Pamplin folks will tell you. was Tom Wood. His .eadership in the early and tough financial going produced somewhere near the first $4,000 in cash and pledges. With such a start, there could he no turning back and—some 12 to 14 months later—there's a shiny new fire fighting machine to re pay for the Ruritan effort and that of friends and thoughtful folks in tne community. The Pamplin town- council ap propriated $1,000: Burruss Land and Lumber Company came in with a $500 eift: the Prince Ed ward county board of supervisors invested $250, the bo'ard of Ap pomattov countv another $200. Need More Funds There's more financial struggle ahead to work off the balance, and thP Ruritan Club admits there isn't room for back-down on pledges and that more supporters must be found.

Man Arrested After Cun Battle In Bank At Phenix Carter Captures Would-Be Robber At Charlotte Line State Trooper T. W. Carter, Jr., of Worsham, arrested a man who tried to hold up the Phenix Bank in Charlotte coun ty, about 2 p. m., Wednesday. He arrested-a Negro identified as Martin Lewis Jennings. 34, at the intersect.on of Routes 594 and 26, near the Appomattox-Char lotte ccunty line. The attempted bank robbery failed after a gun battle inside the bank between the would-be robber and an assistant cashier. XTo rr>r>nov was t«icen and no one was injured, although the two ~en exchanged nearly a dozen shots. Jennings anmutea me a item pi ed robbery, Thursday morning, at Charlotte Court House. According to Carter, who had a description of the color of the car only, he followed the man into a service station on Route 26. He called for the Negro to halt as he headed for a small building across the road from the station. .Jennings tried to pull his gun, but it hung in his shirt. By that time. Carter had him covered. Carter said-that he radioed the license number of the car to head quarters when he started the chase just in case any thing happened to him. Cashier's Account Cashier Sam D. Eggleston gave 1 this account of the attempted robbery. "We had iust closed the bank when a tall Negro buzzed the door to get in. We were expect ing another Negro man on some business, so we opened the door and let this man in. "When I saw he was a stranger. I told him the bank was closed but he said he wanted to have a conference' with me. He didn't look just right and I thought he looked as though he had been drinking so I asked him to leave. "After he left, one of the other cashiers said he remembered the man coming in to change a dollar bill about 1:45 and then hanging around the bank for a few min utes. Since the whole thing looked suspicious, we called for Clifton Jones, the town noliceman. Nerro Returns "When the policeman came to the door and walked in the bank, we noticed that the Negro man was with him and that he held a gun on Jones. When he got in side. he made Jones line up against the wall. "He shouted ‘this is a hold-up’ and started shooting. He appar ently didn't shoot at Jones or he would have certainly hit him, but he did start shooting at us. "Since the whole building has bullet-proof glass, the bullets just oinged off the glass. Then Prank worter, an assistant cashier, grab bed a gun and started shooting back at the man. ‘ The Negro shot seven or eight Mr"cs, and Prank shot four or five times but when the robber's gun was empty he turned and ran out the door. Jumped in a car and drove off." Jennings was stopped and ar rested by Trooper Carter about 1 30 d. m.. and Jennings was taken 'o Charlotte Court House for luestionine. State Police Lieutenant C. W. '"arr said that a pistol had been found cn Jennings but he refused *o ad—it having had anything to do with the hold-up at first. Carr said that besides local and "tate officials, an agent of the federal Bureau of Investigation questioned the accused man. ^edan Stolen After v Sundav Break-In At Taylor-Forbes Co.

General Mac Artlu i . when they met for lunch and talks on "peace in Korea and the \V* i ld" at the New York City home of John Foster Dulles, Eis enhower's secretary of stale desig nate. The two hou" and 15 mir.ute meeting ended as Eisenhower and MacArthur emerged smi'.ing thruigh '.he iror grilled door of the v. iite stone mansion. Eisenhower's statement to the press was. "I just had a meeting u ith two old and very good friends, my old commander and the sec retary of state designate. "We had a very enjoyable lunch and very fine conversation on the general subject of peace, not only m Korea but throughout the world, wit. particular reference to the world situation in which, of course. sik^i a Korean peace would have to be determined. "1 hope my old commander will have a word to say." Cent al MacArtibr had beer standing by, his right hand hooked through Eisenhower's left arm. He disengaged his hand and stepped ove" to the rewsmen. "1 had a very pleasant reunion with the President-Elect. It was a resumption of an old friendship and comradeship of 3r' years stand ing. The subject was peace in Ko rea and the world in general." MacArthur said. As he left Eisenhower said. ‘‘I certainly hope it isn't another six years before we meet again." The meeting was brought about ' by MacArthur’s statement in a , speech to the National Association of Manufacturers th t there was a “clear solution" to the war in Ko rea. Eisenhower, homeward bound from Korea, radioed from the cruiser Helena that he wanted the benefit of MacArthur’s "thinking and experience." President Truman said in a press conference that Eisenhower's cam paign pledge of a trip to Korea was demagoguery. He also said he re ceived misinformation from Mac Arthur when he saw him at Wake island. Immediately following that meeting, Truman dismissed Mac Arthur. While the meeting was going on Eisenhower s head garters in the Commodore hotel announced that he would shortly meet With Repub lic a n Representatives Martin (Mass.), Halleck ilnd.i and Arend-. Gil). END DOLLAR AID: Soys Secretary Sawyer Secretary of Commerce Sawyer. ) who headed a presidential mission i to Europe, has recommended the ! ending of American dollar aid to ' Europe This refers to the Marshall plan and the current mutual se curity program for economic pur poses. Sawyer told President Truman this country's most important con cern ..hould be to keep America prosperous. He made four points m his statement: 1. There was an almost unani mous opinion that the United States has too many people and too many agencies in western Europe. 2 A new look should be taken at the present handling and trend of the Point Four program, be i ause it is tending to become an other give-away agency. :i. It is clear the solution of Eu rope's economic problems lies not in the United States but in West ern Europe. 4 This country should not con tinue to Supply econo.Tiic aid un der the guise of military aid. "In every country we visited." the mission's report said. "Condi tions were better rather than worse than we had expected. "Permanent strength and sta bility for the westerli European allies do not lie in tontinuing Unit ed States subsidies and grants but in expanding production and trade. I Shown is Ernest Gorris, 22, , of Glassport, Pa., who dis armed a live bomb with a 60 second fuse which had lodged in the bomb bay of his B-29 as the plane returned to Okinawa j from a mission over Korea. : It took him exactly 28 seconds 1 to disarm the missile which | Would have blown the plane apart.

"Two Old Friends" General MacArthur shakes hands with Presldent-Elrd Eisenhower following their con ference in the New York City home of John Poster Dulles, secretary of state-to-be. Mac Arthur said he would meet again with Elsenhower to dis cuss the former’s “clear and definite” solution to the Korean War. SIAMESE TWINS: First Wos in 1100 Although Siamese twins are rare they are unique. The Brodie twins, who recently underwent a separation opention*in Chicago, are the latest of some 340 cases recorded in medical history. The first was in 1100 when Eliza and Mary Chulkhurst were born in Bid denden, England. These sisters, joined at the hips and shoulders, lived fo: 34 £ears. After one died, the other rejected the plea of an early surgeon that he try to save her, and she, too, died a short time later. The most famous were Chinese twins born in Siam. It was from them that the term "Siamese twins" came into usage. The twins, Chang and Eng. enjoyed prosper ous careers with P. T. Barnum. LINER HITS PIER: Only Slight Damage High winds sweeping across Eng land slammed the giant new liner United States against a pier at Southampton and delayed her de parture for home. The 53,000 ton liner suffered only superficial damage-. Seven tugs fought to get the vessel away from the pier, but finally had to give up because of the high wind. The liner was leaving for Le Havre and then New York but as the lines were cast off, the star board bridge wing, on which Capt. John Anderson was standing, struck two giant cranes. For a moment the United States was caught in a tangle of steel. HAWAII: New GOP Governor Hawaii Republicans are getting ready fur the day when, tor the first time since March, 1934. the territory will have a Republican governor. Hawaii's governo” is appointed by the president and. in turn, ap points the heads of the various ter ritorial departments. Gov. Oren E. Long, a Democrat, has announced he will submit his resignation on Eisenhower's inaug uration. to take effect at the new President’s pleasure. H awaii's last Republican gov ernor. Lawrence M. Judd, was not replaced by President Roosevelt until March. 1934. A movement is under way for the appointment of Samuel Wilder King. 65. for the governorship. He is Hawaii-born and has a quarter Hawaiian blood. He is a descend ant of Hawaiian chiefs and early settlers from New England, and is an authority on almost everything that pertains to Hawaii, political, historical and scientific. He is a graduate of the Unit .d States Naval academy and resigned from the navy in 1924 with the rank of lieutenant commander. He also served during World War II. leav ing the navy with the rank of cap tain. He has served several terms as delegate to Congress. Another possibility is Lt. Gen. Henry S Aurand. United States army, retired, who is now engaged in business in Honolulu. He is a 1 personal friend and classmate of General Eisenhower. However, he may be ineligible because, al though he has lived in Hawaii more than the required three years, most of the time he was commandirg general of the army in the Pacific. Military service in a community is not usually con sidered legal residence. GERHART EISLER: Under Fire Gerhart Eisler. who fled the United States to escape prosecu tion and became a big figure in Communist East German politics, has been blamed for failure of ' Soviet zor.e propaganda and may be ousted from his post as chief of the information office. The criticisms came from Wi' helm Koenen. chairman of the Communist-run National Front, and Hermann Axen, chief of the Com munist party's agitation depart- I ment. at a meeting of the party central committee. Koenen told the committee, of which Eisler is not a member, that despite huge expenditures Eisler has succeeded only in producing a j “completely flabby campaign.” Axen demanded a "bas.c change : in the work of the information of- ! fice.

During the discussion of im provements. what is needed now and when work will start, the need of h play room and central heating plant for the primary ‘■chool was brought out. The first and second grades are taught in the primary building, which is a two-room frame building, heated by stoves. Mr. Paulett said two additional teachers would be added to the faculty this fall due to the five year high school course. Asked if he could tell when improve ments would be made as promised he said it was impossible for him to tell, but he wished he could say it would be light away. The board ha.' promised improvements here when the county school cen tral school is completed and money is available. The central school is to be ready for occu pancy next September.

Outlook Good for Charlotte Dairymen, Speakers From VPI Sav At Meeting Charlotte county dairy farmers, about CO of them, viewed dairying prospects in the county at a meet ing, last week. Sponsored by the Charlotte Artificial Breeding As sociation. the meeting was held in the assembly room of the County Agricultural Building. Ben Morgan, agricultural eco nomist from VPI, discussed “The Outlook for Dairying in Charlotte Countv.''' Mr. Morgan said that Charlotte county dairymen were m a favorable position from the standpoint of markets. At the present time. Grade A milk from the county is being marketed in Richmond. Norfolk. Washington. D. C.. and Durham. N. C. W'hile milk can be delivered fairly promptly to these population cen ters. still Charlotte county is suf ficiently removed from industrial areas to insure an adequate labor supply, he ixiinted out. Mr. Ellmore. of the Dairy De partment at VPI. who has charge of the Dairy Herd Improvement work in the state, explained the importance of the dairyman's knowing what production each cow in the herd is making. When individual production is known, cows can be fed accordingly and a saving of feed made. Also, records on each cow will indicate the cows that have milk and lnitterfat pro duction sufficiently high that thev are worthy of producing the heifers for herd replacements Production records are also a guide 10 the intelligent culling ol the cow herd, he snid Breeding Cows R. G. Connelly, extension dairy! husbandman, discussed breeding; principles that are essential in im proving the dairy herd. Mr. Con- t nelly said that as a rule dairy herd improvement should be' brought about by breeding all cows to a bull known, to have high milk and butterfat production background. Not only should he have high production in his breeding, but the bull should be proven to the extent that it is known that he is transmitting high production to his offspring. A very small percentage of the bulls that are the progeny of high producing dams and proven sires are able to transmit high pro duction to their daughters. This is the point at which many dairy men have failed. They have de pended on an unproven bull that might have had high production m his background and found out too late that his daughters were low producers, he said. Th s is a serious risk that all dairymen who are not using a proven bull, take. In the past, this was a risk that all dairymen had to take, unless they were able to buy a proven bull. Mr. Connelly said. Now, every owner of dairy rows in Charlotte county ran breed his cows not only to proven bulls but to those that have the best records. This can lx- done by using the services of the Char lotte Artificial Breeding Associa tion. he concluded. This breeding association is af filiated with the Virginia Artifi cial Breeding Association at Rocky Mount, where the bulls are kept. Discussion Panel A panel, made up of local dairy men. discussed "Pasture Resources in Charlotte County." This panel was composed of M. B. Rice. Jr . William F. Vaughan, and Proc tor Carwile. Lee W. Morton. Jr., county agent, was moderator or the panel. The panel decided that practi cal! v all pasture land in Charlotte county should support at least one cow per acre. Suggested ways of increasing productivity of pas tures were liming and fertilizing according to the need as shown by sjil tests, seeding correct grass and legume mixtures, rotating cows on pastures, and controlling weeds by mowing. Representatives from Birtherd Dairies. Southern Dairies, and Durham Dairy Products Company attended this meeting. jet TRAINER The Air Force has chosen a small, light airplane, with two French - designed jet engines— the Cessna Model 318—as its first true pel trainer.

National Editorial Association ___ FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1953 Too Much Culture jP°ur domesticated white ducks recently succeeded in causing quite a commotion near Scarsdale, New York. It seems the ducks, which had lost the vigor their wild cousins possess, were frozen in a thin sheet of ice on the surface of a river, where they slept peacefully as the ice solidified. Noting the plight of the ducks, several nearby citizens appealed to the police and the response was an emergency truck equip ped with floodlights and a rowboat on a trailer. The ducks were rescued, wrapped in blankets and carried to living quarters and warmed by a radiator. As most people know, wild ducks, who must take care of themeselves or perish, avoid such traps by paddling with one foot, even while sleeping But the fat, domesticated ducks have become too soft for such survival and were thus trapped by nature. This must be highly embarrassing in the duck world, even to domesticated ducks. Too much culture, it seems, is no more beneficial to many ducks than to many people. Both seem to lose perspective when the recipients of too much luxury, though the ducks’ plight is usually more easily recognized. Prevention and Cure ith a growing population in the mental institutions of the nation it is about time the medical profession and the laymen begin to recognize the necessity of preven tion. Psychiatric treatment in the early stages, can save expensive institutional care of advanced disease. The League of Mental Health in New York City recently announced a new low cost plan to make treatmenLhy well-known psychiatrists relatively inexpensive. Dr. Lewis Wender. honorary president of the League, says the program will permit priv ate treatments from well-known psychi atrists for as little as $5.00 a visit. The League will pay the difference. Arrangements have been worked out with 20 psychiatrists, whose fees usually run four or five times above the $5.00 figure, so they will treat patients being aid ed by social workers for much less than the normal amount. The program is a major step forward in a tield which is often misunderstood, and against a disease which claims more vie tims than any other one disease in the country. The importance of discovering mental irregularities ea^ly was stressed by Dr. Wender as one of the compelling rea sons for low-cost psychiatric treatment. Said Dr. Wender: "It is important that people be able to get psychiatric help immediately . . . . Anyone who comes to the center will re ceive prompt attention. Psycho-analytic psycho-therapy is the help offered includ ing all types of treatment, in few or many visits. Whatever the patient needs, we will try to help him find.” The effort to get psychiatric treatment on a level with the common man, and to remove the stigma attached to mental ill ness, is certainly a major undertaking. Without some such cooperation, as is being , provided in New York the fight will be a long and often disappointing one. If the, example of the League’s action is copied by those in other communities over the na tion, progress in the battle against mental disease may be speeded up considerably. t Basic of Knowledge rjphe basis of knowledge is the printed word. Progress of man began only after moveable type came into general use and the knowledge accumulated by manu scripts and handed down from generation to generation was made available to the average person through the vehicle of the printed word. The monks performed a valuable serv ice by | copying manuscripts and recording the happenings and discoveries of their time, but these recordings were not avail able generally. They were for the use of the privileged, for the scholars and for the intelligentsia. Even the Bible was not available to the people but was read and interpreted by the priests. In fact, so long as the knowledge of centuries was reserved for tlje few, the majority was kept in ig norance, and in a condition of intellectual slavery. The bonds of darkness were broken when moveable type was introduced by Gutenberg, a German, who probably cut the characters into metal and from these made the prints. Gutenberg printed about fifty books during his lifetime, mostly re ligious. He printed two Bibles, the 36 line Bible and the 42 line Bible, the latter known as the Mazarin Bible. Gutenberg, like most printers, was forced to raise capital and he mortgaged his plant to Fust. And, as sometimes hap pens, it was not long before Fust foreclosed and owned the plant. His son-in-law, Shoeffer, a workman with Gutenberg, be came the printer and Fust the salesman. Fust was finally placed in prison in France and died during the plague. William Claxton, ail Englishman, went to Germany when he was thirty years old, learned the art of printing and returned to Westminister, when 60 years old to .set up his printing plant. He is credited with printing the first books in English, "Reeu ycll of the Historyc of Troyc" and later “The Game and Play of Chesse." The first printing done in America was by Stephen Have at Cambridge, Mass., in about 163.8 and oddly enough his publica tions were the “Freeman's Oath," an almanac and a prayer book. It is significant that the first publica [ions related to religion and freedom. ! Printing first broke the bonds of intel lectual slavery and gave hope for individual freedom and liberty. It has continued down through the succeeding centuries. The un believable number of books, newspapers, periodicals available to the general public today keeps them informed not only of current happenings, but saves in its vast storehouse of the printed word the record of centuries past and makes available the accumulated knowledge. The contribution of printing to the development of civiliza tion during the past few centuries possibly out ranks in importance any other field. Technical advance in the printing in dustry has added to its public service, mak ing it possible to produce the millions of volumes of books, newspapers and other periodicals. Fast presses, typesetting machines and other equipment for repro duction have made possible publication of manuscripts generally. Yet, relatively little advance has been made in the basic prin ciples of printing within a half a century. However, research is in progress which promises to revolutionize printing methods through the use of photographic and elec tronic principles. No person who has lived in this century would think anything to be impossible, therefore, we anticipate radical developments in this field within the for secable future. Benjamin Franklin, w hose birthday w ill be celebrated Saturday, January 17, was a foremost American advocate of printing and publishing. He is the patron saint of the printing industry and though he was an inventor, diplomat, statesman and famous lover, first, last, and always, he was a printer and that is the word he requested to be carved on his tombstqnc. The printing industry celebrates this week as national printing week and points with pride to the importance of the industry. In Virginia, printing is 'he third largest industry with respect to the number of individual pro prietorships and the fourth largest industry in ■value added after manufacture. It has more than an economic value, printing is the basis of knowledge, the guardian of freedom and the champion of liberty. The (rouble will; most of the expert opinion is that the experts seldom a^ree. I nfortunately the man with tin* loud est mouth often gets the most attention. Scripture: Matthew 17. Devotional Heading: 11 Peter 1:3-8. 10-18. Mountain; Valley Lesson for January 18, 1953 GENERAL Braxton Bragg was a hard-working brainy officer: but there was one thing he would not do. He would not climb a mountain to look for himself. One of the generals in his command. Nathan Bedford Forrest, had been up. From the summit of Lookout Mountain. Forrest could see with his own eyes what was going on, he could see the enemy's move ments and what it would take to Stop them. He pleaded with Gen eral Bragg to come and look too; but in vain. General Bragg was too busy; and so he missed an opportunity that never came again. • • • The Rhythm of’C.ife A Sunday school superintendent used to boast that he had never missed » single Sunday in close to 40 years. An ob- ._ server remarked that it might have been a good idea for him to miss a few Sundays, to take tome time off to visit other schools and tee how they did it. It it possible to keep your nose so close to the grindstone Dr. Foreman that you can't really see what you are doing. It is possible "not to see the forest for the trees.” To put it in another way: Life has a rhythm of mountain and valley. In life we have to do two things: get up now and again on a moun tain where we can see high and far; and also to walk in the valley where we cannot see beyond the next bend in the dusty road. To put it in still plainer words: Most of our life consists of every day duties, of ordinary days, with their problems, discouragements, weariness and difficulties. But in rare moments we "get a lift" as we say, when we can rise above the petty round of the usual routine and somehow see life, its meaning and direction, as we never did be fore. The mountain-top experience we may call the best of life; but ;he valley is the most of life. The good life will have both mountain and valley. WWW Vision and Service These high moments are rare hut Important. We read of one of the most memorable of these in the familiar story of the Transfig uration, and what followed it. There was the great vision on Mt. Her men's snows; and there was the tough situation down in the valley. Tough situations were common: that vision came only once. It is the way of life always. Paul s vision on the Damascus road did not last long, yet it controlled and inspired his whole life afterwards. Moses saw but one burning bush; yet that day's vision drove him through many a year of toil and trouble. It is the high moments that give power to the low days. Life cannot be all vision, yet it should not be all service. Or as we should rather say. the vision is for the sake of the service, and the service translates the vision into action. Vision illumines serv ice; service obeys vision. High moments come to us in various ways. We have our high moments of faith when doubt drops away and we rise to a certainty that never quite leaves us again. We have high moments of hope, when the distant dream comes over the horizon toward us and we see the "alabaster cities gleam'' as if they were across the street; and high moments of love, so certain, so profound, that ever after, under all the trivial and troubling currents of everyday necessity the deeper love flows steady, ever sure. ft ft ft Trust Your Best Moods Life has two temptations here. One is to make the mountain's vision last without ceasing. We do not want the glory to vanish in the cloud. But this is a temptation. Not even heaven is like that. There will be vision in heaven, more glorious than any here: but there will be service too, and more faith ful than any here. If there are any beings whom God has destined for vision only, and not for service, they are angels, not men. The opposite temptation is to stick at our work, never looking up to see the stars; plodding in the valley, too busy to climb the hills. Suppose the disciples had been too busy to go up to the mountain top with Jesus? Trust your best moods, j They do not deceive you, if they cOme in his company Down in the valley, in the tough situation, they may seem to have been only dreams; but they are not. «a aallla** • aayrlfbfre b» tb« Blrlalaa af Cbrlatlaa Fe««all®a.

ROUND HOLE | WHAT A JOB l COOLO DO wflwtoflrr c? Hoarded Treasures Thru life I’ve hoarded treasures up Like some old misers store up gold ; I filled my mind with memories To cheer my heart when I grew old. I stored them in a place apart Deep in the chambers of my heart. The scene of roses on the breeze, Sheep and lambs on a grassy hill, Sun and shadows upon a road, The turning wheel of an old mill. A winding road that curves and dips, The boyhood joys of camping trips. A pretty child with lovely hair Swinging her dollie by the arm, A laughing boy without a care Who played upon a near by farm. Each scene a treasure stored in me Recalling days that used to be. Within my mind I piled up joy By hoarding there these odds and ends; And now of them at times I write In simple verse for old time friends. In my old age I live again Scenes stored up in memory lane. These treasures hoarded up like gold Warm up my heart when 1 am old. L. D. Whitaker SNUB MEJB By Ted Kestmg Do fishing contests aid or injure angling as a sport? Bill Wolf, the foremost iconoclast among out door writers, is again them. He says there is a commercial or cainglorious motive behind all of them, even in their most innocent forms, and it is impossible to see how any contest furthers fishing as a sport. No one needs the lure of a possible prize to find fishing Interesting. Such competitive events foster cheating, lying and other unscru pulous practices. They breed bit terness and quarrels. They dis courage sportsmanship. They pat the fish killer and the fish hog on the back, because contests musti have dead entries. They make a mockery of conservation, and turn the quiet, contemplative non-competitive sport of angling into a crass, commercial competi tion. Let's look at children's contests, surely the most innocuous kind— or are they? Wolf tells of such a contest held annually near his home. Merchants and individuals donate prizes and there are so many that the officials had to invent categories. There were prizes for the fattest boy angler, the prettiest girl, the smallest child, the one who came the greatest distance. All a child had to do was catch a fish to win something. The event was held at a dam across a creek flowing through a park. It had been stocked with 800 bluegills and 100 carp for the occasion. It was a big event and a good time was had by all. es pecially the self-congratulatory adults—but have you ever watch ed such a kids' event? The entire emphasis was on catching some thing somehow, and not on teach ing the children anything about fishing or sportsmanship. It was a greedy race to see who rould kill a fish to win a baseball bat or a wagon. Hsh and fishing be came a means to an end. rather than an end in themselves, and it would be a. smart child, indeed, who learned about sportsmanship from such an event. And another thing—it is illegal to plant carp ill that state. Yet the persons who ran the contest, knowing nothing of fishing or such laws, slocked flic creek with carp Such contests, unfortunately, are becoming very common across the nation. It is almost sacrilege ! to say. as Wolf docs, that such | contests arc so much bumcombe 1 and should be abolished. They do not teach a child anything about fishing. They do learn a | bit about cheating and poor sportsmanship, and regard fish as I some tiling to be caught to win a priae. I believe a child should be taken fishing and instructed individually —when it is old enough to take care of itself along a stream or on water, when it is capable enough not to be a nuisance to the adult, and when it can take care of its own tackle. Anything else is misery for the adult, as the contest managers often learn.

The one that hit the tops on 1952 was the one told by a Clevelander; "It rained so hard the creek ran backwards, hit the dam. turned it around, re versed the mill wheel and un ground 1,000 sacks of flour so fast that when the bags were opened the wheat wasn't even ripe enough to harvest."

The first is a listing of the veteran's educational or vocation al goal, and the second is a statement of how he proposes to reach the goal. A careful consideration of both the goal and the means of reach ing it is vital. VA said, because tne Korean GI Bill provides that a veteran may make one change in his course'after he has start ed it. but no more than one. Examples of goals would be law or medicine as professional aims: high school or college diplomas as educational aims: or carpentry or plumbing as vocational aims. Examples of the listing for methods of reaching the goal would be a statement of the high est degree to be gotten, if a col lege or university course in in 1 volved. If the veteran does not i aim lor a degree in his education al training, he should list the ac tual subjects which will be taken under his plan. In vocational training, a description of the kind of work should be given. Korean veterans wishing to ato ply for education or training who are not sure of their goal or method of reaching it may re ceive special vocational guidance from VA. On the application form, they should check the box which requests guidance. j For benefits under the GT Bill, veterans who have served in the armed forces anywhere in the world may be eligible. There are now approximately 1,500.000 such veterans, YA said, many of whom are expected to apply for educa ; tion or training for the coming spring term.

In Balanced Feeding Builds Soil Health Crops Need Good Diet Like Humans You can't build up the soil's health and crop yielding power by overfeeding it one plant nut'ient while starving it for others. Purdue university agronomists demonstrated the importance of balancing the nutrient supplies in tests in Davies county, Indiana. Loading up the soil with nitrogen when phosphate and potash levels were low. reduced corn yields on A balanced diet of all the essential elements will soon have your sick soil healthy and productive again. the Charles Scherck farm, reports Howard Lathrope. Purdue soils specialist. In the tests, three plots of corn each received 100 pounds of phos phate and potash per acre. One plot had eight pounds of nitrogen, a second had 108 pounds and the third, 208 pounds. Tissue tests of corn on the eight pound plot showed no nitrogen, but ample phosphate and potash. As the nitrogen applications went up, the potash levels in the corn plants went down, reducing growth. On the plot where 208 pounds of nitrogen were added, there was just enough potash in the fer tilizer to balance out the corn feeding program. The potash short age caused a lack of energy foods i,. the plant. The root systems of the high-nitrogen, low-potash corn were weak. The stalks were wob bly. so the plants lodged badly. place of the $18 Olesen had lost was a $20 bill. I Farmers Lose Millions To Three 'Robbers' Three ' robbers" are taking rm, lions of dollars from farmers each vear^ These robbers are livestock diseases, parasites and plain care lessness. Annual losses from just two dairy diseases, brucellosis and mastitis, run ciosc to $20U.OU0.UOU a year, in addition to the losses from do/i-ns of other animal diseases. Of all dairy calves born, 2-1 per cent , never live to reach maturity. Of 1 those that do live, only 17 per cent i are still in the milking line at 10 years of age. Ten per cent of all baby chicks and 15 per cent of all poults w ill not j live 56 days. Only 60 per cent ot ! the spring pig crop will li\e to reach maturity. Additional millions of dollars of livestock losses also result each year from external and internal parasites. Finally, a heavy loss is ! caused by injuries and deaths due to careless loading and hauling of livestock to market.

Tobacco plant bed location is | important. VPI Agricultural Extension Service specialists say tobacco farmers in blackshank areas i should make a new plant bed site each spring. Choose a south ! eastern exposu re with well-drain I ed lam.. and plenty of disease | free water available. Spring or well water is safe if the spring ' has not received drainage water from a blackshank infested field. The plant bed site should be | well protected from the wind. Light to sandy soil, rich in or ganic matter, is preferred since it is more easily worked, less in clined to be cloddy. Ciusts less af ter rains, and warms up more quickly in the spring. Remove all trash and crop residue on the area surrounding the bed. Work up and pulverize the soil thor oughly to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. If sod land must be used, it should be broken up two or three months before sowing the seed so all plant refuse will be well rotted. Such plant beds should be disked or harrowed at frequent intervals so a firmer bed will be available on the propel seeding uatc.

The youngster who was the chief of the organization declared defiantly. ' I have infor mation that Hitler is still alive in Argentina, and I am going there." ' Because of the subversive char acter of the gang, the F B I. has ' been called to investigate its mem bers. Some officials believe that the gang was first organized by adults. The club used the Nazi swas tika as its emblem. One side of the membership cards bore the words. "I am a member of the Nazi party,” and a picture of Adolf Hitler on the other. The club had nine officers. Undoing of the club was the re fusal to admit an eight-year-old boy for membership. He tattled on the gang, telling police where some of the members lived. He led po lice to club headquarters where 4.000 rounds of ammunition were found along with some knives. The gang specialized in dam aging railroad cars.

World's newest with a million miles « behind it ^ CFRF. in literal fact, is the nio«S advanced VS engine ever placed in a standard-production American automobile. It is the first such VK to reach an 8.5 to 1 compression ratio, and the first with a dynamic flow muffler that cuts power loss to zero. It is the first V8 to utilize vertical valves together with a 12-vdlt electri cal system instead of the usual 6. It is also the first designed with new "T” type intake manifold to replace the “Y” type conventionally used in VSs. Tt is, quite simply, the first V8 Fireball Fngine —the engine that brings electri fying performance to the greatest Ruirks in fifty great years —the engine that powers the 1953 Hoick Roadmastpr with 188 bp., and the J953 Buick Super with up to 170. Naturally, this spectacular new V8 has been proved - by eight years of devel oping, testing, improving, perfecting and by more than a mil lion miles of driving through desert, mountains, cities and plains. Only then did Buick engineers mark it: Released for Production. But these bard-to-please engineers gave these Golden Anniversary Buicks far more than new power. They gave them, too, a still finer ride, « more superb comfort, new braking power and handling ease - and a sensa tional new Twin-Turbine Dynaflow Drive* that adds new quiet and whip fast getaway to absolute smoothness.

(Irz-fnational) March of Dimes Must Prov ide Funds To Explore Recent Research Successes Recent successes in the search for an effective, safe and perma nent preventive of paralytic polio, have intensified the need for March- of Dimes funds to explore and exploit the findings, accord ing to Basil O'Conn >r. president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. Certainly the discoveries con cerning gamma globulin did not mean the end to polio problems," Mr. O'Connor said. "While they solved some problems, they also created many new ones." The two main findings. Mr. O'Connor said, were that 111 gamma globulin provides marked protection of a temporary nature against paralytic polio and '2' it may modify the severity of polio during the late stages of the in- I cubation period of the disease, even though it may not prevent the disease completely if given after the infection has taken place Limitations Cited Mr O'Cotuior cited three im pel! ant limitations to the use of gamma globulin. 1 —It gives only temporary pro tection. Thus, the search for a permanent vaccine must continue. 2— OG is in very short supply. Techniques for increasing the supply for reasonable use must be developed. 3- Gamma globulin research is incomplete. It must still be de termined. for e ample, if GG will permit the mild, inapparent form of polio infection that leads to an active long-lasting immunity. Large sums of March of Dames money must be invested before solutions to the above problems are found, Mr. O'Connor pointed out. May "Smother" Epidemics Our scientists insist that all we can reasonably hope for at this point," he said, "is that gamma globulin may be used in attempt ing to ‘smother' polio epidemics in hard-hit areas. The final ans wer will still have to be a safe and effective vaccine that will provide relatively long-lasting im munity. Efforts to produce such a vaccine for widespread human ’ are being hopefully pursued." New Canton RFD C. W. Cave was a business visitor in Richmond, last Thurs day. | Billy Hudgins. U. S.

This week, VEPCO and the entire electric industry pays tribute to him for his great usefulness to our nation in many fields . . . and, specifically, for his many experiments dealing with electricity. In addition to 1 inventive genius, Franklin was a staunch believer in in dustry, frugality and good management. He wav a crusader for freedom of enter pfee, and for the dignity oftfieindivitWal. * Among his many shrewd and home spun savings, “There is no little enemy”' might well be remembered today by those who view tolerantly the Govern ment's “little" encroachments into private enterprise.

Mo.-The man who succeeds in producing a more realistic poodle fur will find a ready market for his talents. The poodles themselves have no in terest in this advance, but a Kan sas City manufacturer has. Tlte problem of finding a more satisfactory method of simulating the curly, jet-black coat of the fashionable poodle lias baffled technicians of a greeting card com pany for years, and a leading re search institute engaged by the firm admits that it hasn't been able to find the answer either but is pursuing several possible solu tions. The growing popularity of the poodle as a pet and as a decoration has put new emphasis on the search. They would like to find a material with a more lifelike curl so that their greeting card poodles will be even more realistic. Th ■ poodle problem was one phase of a project undertaken for the company by a research insti tute. in Kansas City. The institute tried many things, including heat ing and spraying the poodle "Hock ing." or fiber material, but none of them produced the desired re sults. For the time being, at least, work has been suspended on Oper ation Poodle, and the company has reconciled itselt to using extra-long flocking, which produces an ac ceptable curl. Some of the more expensive Val entines and Christmas cards are I adorned with a small packet of i sachet to provide an intriguing j aronta which, in time, diminishes I somewhat in strength. The com j pany has located a more pernia | nent liquid perfume that is ex pected to replace sachet. The re search group was asked to find a satisfactory method of applying the scent to greeting cards The i institute is now experimenting to : find a glue that smells like a I lose.

■ r^M — SO HE CAN ) AFFORD A < COUNTRY ) PUVCE'. J Sandwich Tricks Will Dress Up Meals Planned About Homemaker Stand-By Hy Sara Italdwin II o ni p Krono mist Va. Klre Irip and Power Company Did you ever stop to think what an important part sandwiches play in the life of most every American? Don't worry about preparing lunch or dinner 1 just a Sandwich". Here aie some tips which will increase your sandwich popularity. Usually toast from your toaster is used in sandwich preparation, though many deli cious sandwiches are made in the broiler or in the oven. Many hot meal - in - themselves sandwiches can be made in advance and kept warm in the warmer drawer of your range. And. in the last few years, the advent of freezers has made it possible to keep ready-to eat sandwiches on tap at all times. . A sandwich is popular with everyone for at least one meal a day. so let's make them as inter esting and nutritious as possible. A bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, served with potato chips and fruit, includes all the essential foods to complete a meal—meat, vegetable, potatoes. anil fruit. Other sandwiches can be dress* . d up and hardly recognized, but .somewhere present ate the neces sary slices of bread or toast. They, too. can bo complete meals such us toast base, covered with ham and chicken slices, topped with melted cheese sauce, all slightly browned for a few minutes under the broiler. When serving the sandwich, keep in mind the over all appearance of the plate and include extra eye-appeal trim mings such as parsley, olives, pickles, carrot sticks, radishes, celerey strips, or potato chips. Sandwiches which are cut into thirds, or fourths, are more inter esting and more easily eaten. A decorated or colored pick irtserted to hold the sandwich together is a good addition. Generally a filling between two slices of bread, or toast, with a ieaf of lettuce added, depending on the filling, is tne accepted sandwich. Some filing sugges tions are egg. ham or seafood salad: cream cheese with bacon and parsley, crushed fruit, such as figs, dates, raisins with chop ped nutmeats: chopped mush rooms fried in butter and chives, olives, or jam. Peanut butter with apple sauce, jelly or sliced ba nanas: baked beans with bacon and pickle relish, liver sausage, cooked eggs, onion and mayon naise:: cottage cheese and pine apple: and the ever popular sliced cold meat sandwiches. The broiler offers a new and | completely different type of tasty | open faced sandwich. Here a top layer of Cheddar cheese, which melts well. Is an appealing, finish ing touch. A ham salad covered with a thin slice of cheese is very flavorsome. Half a hamburger bun with cheese and two small strips of partly cooked bacon is always a favorite. Slices of ham or cliicken under cheese is an other possibility. A seasoned tuna fish salad including onion is dif I ferent when broiled. —-* Burkeville Mrs. M. P.

New 1933 Nash Ambassador Country Club pr -v- W< ~ **m*®)& * i>^SSSSSt | Curved three-section rear window design and low, sleek trunk styling highlight the rcar-eml treatment of the new 1953 Nash Ambassa dor “Country Club” custom hardtop convertible (shown) and two and four-door sedans. The gas filler is under the hinged cover of the right taillight, out of sight and fully protected from dirt and water. Styled by Pinin Farina, renowned European custom body designer, tho 1953 Ambassador models feature original continental styling and numerous mechanical features. Major mechanical advancements include new Nash power steering and the high compression LcMans Dual Jetfirc engine, offered as optional extra-cost equipment. Nash Motors 1933 Models Styled By Farina Displayed Today By Dealers Nash Motors has announced its new 1953 Ambassador and States man models, featuring original continental styling and numerous mechanical advancements. High lighted by the styling of Pinin Farina. European custom body designer of Turin, Italy, the new models will be on display in dealer showrooms throughout the country today. (Jan. 16). The 1953 Statesman is powered by a new “Powerflyic” engine, and a new optional Lemans Dual Jet fire engine is of ered in the Am bassador. New Nash power steer ing is available for the first time in the Ambassador model. Many new exterior solid and two-tone colors and interior upholstery and trim selections have enhanced the beauty of all models in both series of cars. A new custom hardtop con vertible. called the Country Club, is featured in the full line of two and four-door custom and super sedans in both series. The 1953 Ambassador is power ed by a high compression six cylinder overhead valve engine developing 130 horsepower. Called the "Super Jetfire". this engine, with a compression ratio of 7 3 to 1. is designed to operate effi cientlv on regular gasoline. The high compression engine which established the greatest post-war record for performance in the grueling LeMans 24-hour sports car race is offered as optional extra cost equipment on the Am bassador model. Doss said. Dual-Range Hydra Matic Drive and automatic overdrive are available on all 1953 Nash Am bassador and Statesman models as optional equipment. Syncro mesh transmission is standard on both cars. Nash power steering is available as optional equipment on Ambassador models. According to Nash engineers, Nash power steering takes about 75 per cent of the effort out ol steering, al lows the driver to retain the "feel" of the road at all speeds, and gives positive directional control even with hydraulic power off. The new Nash models have an advanced type of independent front-end suspension called "&ir flex Suspension," providing great er riding comfort and handling ease. All 1953 Nash models feature Nash-pioneered "Airflyte" unit ized body construction, used in modern trains and planes. Body to-frame bolts are eliminated as the integrated body and frame are welded together to form a single unit, said by Nash engi neers to be stronger and more rigid. Integrated functional design, characteristic of Farina styling, accents the length and sleekness of the new 1953 hard cop converti ble and sedan models. The one piece, die-cast grille bears the round Nash crest. Bold wrap around ribbed bumpers are con tured to follow- the outline of the fenders. A new hood ornament, optional on all modeis, has been especially designed lor Nash by the well-known arust, George Petty, creator of the famous Petty Girl. All-around visibility is a key feature of the new- Nash models. The hood unc is lower than the "Road Guide" front fenders, affording greater vision of the road ahead. The large air intake of the famous Nash Weathci Eye condi tioned air and heating system extends the full width of the hood. New- chrome turn enhances the appearance of tnc air intake. Heater and defroster fans of the Weather Eye system are com bined in a single blo-.vcr unit. The entire Weather Eye system is thermostatically contioiled and is operated with a single control knob. The large sliding, lighted draw er glove compartment, developed by Nash, is centrally located rt - the lower edge ol' the instrument panel. A finger grip at the lower edge eliminates any portruding handle or koob. The “pistol-grip" type hand brake is located to the right of the steering column for convenience and safety. The exclusive Nasli convertible twin beds and “Airliner ’ reclining seat are available as optional equipment on all 1953 Ambassa dor and Statesman models, as well as tinted 'Solo.x ' safety glass to reduce road gluie and heat lays. Madame Helene Hother. Nash Motors' interior design and styl ing consultant, has added new trim and fabric combinations in ihe new models. The selections include rich needlepoints, home spuns and genuine leathers in super and custom models. The Nash Country Club hardtop con vertible models are available in attractive leather and needlepoint You Are Taking A Big Risk ... When you carry overnight the money you take in after banking hours.
