Another chink in the fire fight

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

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. But they will be.
they declare, with a proud look at
the red beauty in the Municipal
Building.

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.

SCANNING THE NEWS _
Ike and Mac
Talk Peace
For ho first time in six years
I’resid nt-Fleet Eisenhower saw
his old commander. 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.

"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. "

May Day Program
On Ballad Theme
Tentative plans for Longwood
May Day 1953 have been revealed
by Mrs. Emily K. Landrum, pro
fessor of physical education, who
is in charge of this annual festi
. val.
This year's May Day will be
the fir_t of three or four with
; themes centering around Ameri
can folk lore. The pageant this
: year will deal with the earliest
origins of American folk litera
; ture.
Since legends and tales from
; England, Scotland and Ireland are
the chief sources for American
ore, the dances and songs for this
year's May Day will be derived
from these countries.
Mrs. Landrum stated that she
plans to carry out the English,
Scottish, and Irish theme by
using each country s national
colors in the traditional may pole.
The court's costumes will also
make use of the nationality
theme.
"Ballad Tree" is the tentative
title for May Day. A slate for the
general chairman and committee ]
will be presented at the next stu- !
dent body meeting.

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.

THICKENING AGENTS
Cornstarch has about twice the :
thickening power of flour. In
substituting one for the other in
a recipe, remember if cornstarch
is called for you will need twice
that amount of flour. If flour is
called for. you will need only half
that amount of cornstarch. Long
er cooking is needed with corn
starch to eliminate the uncooked
starchy flavor.

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.

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.

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.

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.
RECKLESS DRIVER. 2
Detroit — A reckless driver,
without a driver's license, sent his
car careening across a lawn and
right into a house. The driver
was Anthony Widby. 2. who had
been left in the famiy car by his
lather for Just a moment.

of telling how many fully eligible
members could be had without
scraping the Nation Just one
good whopper will get you full

greatest pastime. 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."
Mr. Robert C Allen tells me
one ab'ut the wind blowing so,
hard that it turned a hen wrong
side out and she laid the same
egg six times before she got
straight. Haven't seen Mr. J. A.
Moyer yet. but when he gets in.
the top tall story will be laid.
There is always room for new
entries and if you know one let
'er rip. This fabulous pa.^ime has
made politicians and salesmen
famous and merchants poDr for
all these many years. Many news

For veterans who will apply for
education cr training under the
K >rean GI Bill, Veterans Admin
istration offered advice cn two
important items that must be
listed in their applications.
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.

No other premium quality
heavy-duty motor oil will do all
these things so well for your car
all year 'round:
• Maintain new car performance

• Reduce > ngin wear
• Provide easier starting in cold

new car engine year ’round than any
other leading heavy duty motor oil. It
replae -s the diiferent grades of motor
oil many motorists have had to use in
diiferent se; sons of the year ... giving
yoi one ; ll-ar’ md motor oil for all

Until now, carbon deposits have re

a few thousand miles ... often causing
knock. Uniflo checks these deposits in
a clean engine, keeps it running like
new and greatly reduces engine wear.
These features make it the ideal
motor oil for modern tight-fitting high

In the tests, three plots of corn
each received 100 pounds of phos

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

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.
Stiffen Saw
If you want to use a two-man
saw alone, run two wires be
tween the handles and put a
notched stick between them.
This will stiffen the saw and
the bandies will not wobble
from side to side.

| Choose Tobacco
Plant Beds With
Care, VPI ‘Advises
! 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.

Here are some suggestior for
| easier ironing. Iron he ruffles
first before you iron the main
part of the garment . . . this goes
for pockets, facings, and sleeves,
too. Iron the top of the garment
; first. For tablecloths, fold length
wise and iron on one side. Then
fold* double and iron the upi r
surfa> only. Keep folding and
ironing the upper surface until
finished. Keep your basket of
danrjiencd clothes on a c •air by
your side so you can reach into
the basket without moving from
your chair. A colthes rack within
easy reach will hold ironed gar
ments until they are put away.

j Just Gang of Kids
NEW ORLEANS—A juvenile
storm troopers' club, based on the
Nazi organization, was smashed
here recently. 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.
Mattoax
The Mattoax Home Demonstra
tion Club met with Mrs. Roy
Saunders, Friday. Jan 9. for their!
regular monthly meeting. Mrs. i
Dorothy Smith, home agent, gave
each member a year book, and i
asked that they make Rood use
of it. She also asked members to
keep a record of their work, in
the year book. She announced a
sewiniR machine clinic, to be held
in Amelia, to convert old Tredle
machines, into electric. Several
members are planninR to take ad
vantage of this opportunity to get
their sewing machines re-model
ed. Making tufted bedspreads,
was the demonstration for this
meeting- and. even tho the
weather was bad. twelve women
were present to start their bed
spread. It was an interesting
sight to see everyone sitting
around with bedspreads and
needle' and taking instructions
from the home agent, on the cor
rect ways cf making the tufts.
The club has already made
lovely lampshades from parch
ment which makes for better
lighting in the home. Now the
bedspreads are getting under way.
The aim this year is to make
something that can be exhibited
at the Fair in the fall.

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.
Nothing, we believe, will do more
justice to your automobile dollars-or
to your love of magnificent motoring —
than a visit to us right now.

^ Pretty "Foxy" Terrier
Talking about dogs the other
night—and Sandy Johnson topped
everything off with a tall story
about his t'ox terrier, “Boscum.”
According to Sandy, “Comes
bird season and that dog won’t
rtir if I lake down my ritlr. Same
if it's deer season and I go for
my sholiimi — he won’t move, but
he's scratching at the door if I so
much as look at my ride!’’
One day, Sandy decided to fool
him. lb' took down hoik his shot
gun and his ride — and swish,
Boscum was on his way ! So f%ndy
put the guns hack and took out
his fishing rod. He went outside
and then’ was Boscum — digging
like crazy for worms!
From where I sit, a dog that
ran outguess humans is as rare
as a human that can outguess
other humans. For instance, I
like a glass of beer with lunch
hut I wouldn't think of pouring
you one without first asking.
K very body has preferences—and
it’s finding out what they are and
respecting them that keeps free
dom from "going to the dogs.”

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."

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN was bofh <ta A
January 17, 1706. 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. As we observ e “Thrift
Week” in Franklin's honor, let us re
member that good busmen management
has made electricity cheap, plentiful, and

Better Poodle Fur
Needed by Makers
Of Greeting Cards
KANSAS CITY. 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.

Sandwich Tricks Will Dress Up Meals

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.

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
