State PMA Clears Bright Tobacco Allotment Muddle - They're Smaller Flue-cured acreage allotments this year for most farms will l>c about eight per cent smaller than fer 1952. the State Office of the Production and Marketing Ad ministration has announced. C. D. Jordan. State PMA Chair man. has made that fact clear to Virginia Brewers following the ap pearance of certain misleading statements on the matter last week. Jordan explained that a na tional marketing quota for 1953 of 1.234.000.000 pounds was an nounced last July prior to the opening of the 1952 marketing season. Such a quota would have resulted in a preliminary nation al acreage allotment about 121 _■ per cent smaller than the 1952 allotment. However, on January 6. the Secretary of Agriculture announced that the national quota for 1953 would be increased by 60.000 000 p winds. That in crease over the preliminary quota approximately offsets the amount by which the 1952 crop fell be low pre-season production esti mates. Thus, the revised 1953 quota is 1.294.000.000 pounds, which, con verted to acres on the basis of re cent yields, results in a national allotment of 1.048.000 acres. That national acreage is about eight per cent below the 1.127 400 acres allotted for 1952 Notices of 1953 farm acreage all'tments are in preparation and will be mailed to individual farm operators shortly, the PNl A office here has announced. Fair. Walton Anderson, of Cul len. a student at Worsham High School, and Wesley Booker, of Cumberland, a student at Luther Jackson High School, were the recipients of the fret trips. Wal ton is a member of the Future Farmers of America and W r sham 4-H Club, and Wesley is a member of the Negro Farmers of America. Other persons who attended the show from this area w&re Earl Morris, of Andersonville; Weslev Dunkum. Jr., of Dillwyii: Alfred Spillman, of Cumberland: Charles Joyce, cf Cumberland: Edgar Brisentine. of Prospect: and E R Spillman, manager of the imple ment department of Brickert Oil Company. Charlie Elliott, of Campbell; M. J. Edwards, of Cumberland: and John Lancaster. Prince Edward farm agent, were other Negroes who made the trip to the show in Pennsylvania. Those attending the farm show saw the Pennsylvania State Trac tor Driving C ntest, Thursday night.

How to Combine With Work Koom In designing a new farm home, many families will find that a good plan combines the laundry with a , work room. If. on the other hand, I the laundry is placed in the kitchen, locate it at one end. Laundry equipment generates a I certain amount of heat, and you don’t want this jin the immediate . . . Prot ide proper storage space. kitchen area, especially if you are 1 viewing the designing as an all year around proposition and thinking of providing comfortable tempera tures. In older homes canvass the loca tions for laundry equipment very 1 carefully. A back porch is often a good possibility. If your laundrv equipment is already there, check to be certain the background is pleasant, as well as having good I layout for equipment and working heights that are right for you. Many old farm homes have a pantry adjoining the kitchen. Many times storage is ample if wall cabi nets are put into service. The por tion of space allotted to a pantry j can then easily be used for the laundry equipment. Sometimes, too, a large room be ing mad" over into a bathroom will have a large wall which can be used for,Installing laundry equipment.

Good equipment can cut down : work, but it dues not save steps wasted and lost motions which \ result frnm planning laundry space j poorly. Care and forethought are ! required in designing a new laun dry or remodeling present space for one so that time and money spent can pay off in working com fort as well as good planning. Well-planned laundries are almost never found in basements. The lo cation alone means many back breaking trips up and downstairs with heavy loads, for one thing When laundries are placed on the ground floor of a home, they will save steps, and basement space can be utilized fur other purposes. Make Laundry Room Serve Dual Purpose Consider the needs and tasks which must be served by your home before you decide to put in a laun dry.'If the laundry is to be on the Combine laundry u ith dinette . . . first or ground floor of a home, the two or more needs which must be served should be carefully con sidered. In some farm homes the space al lotted can become a large work room not only for laundry equip ment but also for canning, deep freezing and butchering. Because such a room usually opens to the outdoors, a v.ash basin and even a tiled shower arc often located in it so the men of the family can clean up there before entering the ' house Itself In other homos, the laundry can be combined with the kitchen or : may be located in a small area at j 3> I take care of lots of dishes and thus j eliminate the need for drying some to clear the rack before you fin- i ish washing. If you do not have a twin sink i so that one may be utilized for ' rinsing, the job can easily be done With a dish drainer and a sloped ; drainboard fitting to carry the rinsing water right into the single ! sink Keep Supplies Handy In Sink Cabinet Dishwashing supplies should be kept right at the sink area so •teps can be eliminated in gather ing them, come time to w'ash dish es. This is easy, of course, if you have an under-sink cabinet with a rack preferably on the inside of the door which will hold soap, cleanser, brush, mop, etc. There should also be a towel rack adjacent to this so that towels and dishcloths can be spread out for drying to keep them from mildewing or becoming ill smell ing. If you do not have an undersink cabinet and cannot have one put in. then try to have a rack above the sink which will hold these sup plies. A spiall shelf and either a straight or swinging towel rack will do the job very nicely. Running hot water is usually available, but it may be necessary to heat it on the range. In this case, start two large teakettles to heat while you eat, and then it will be ready immediately after the meal There's no good reason for tow els to become very soiled or bad smelling if simple precautions are observed Th^ dishes should be carefully cleaned, and if they're rinsed with very hot water, most of the drying will take place in the rack, thus cutting down on the number of towels used. If anything at all needs a bit cif drying it should be only a quick process such as a touch-up job on glasses and silverware. Fashion Flashes Your belts for the season are a real style item this season. They may be very wide or as narrow as a necklace, but you may be cer tain they’re going to be striking. A dress that’s perfect for almost any occasion will have a mdulded, pencil-slim look. The middy line helps attain sleek perfection, while a slender skirt with back fullness makes for easy, graceful move ment. Newest millinery color for the season is pink! It goes well, na turally with the favorite dress and suit colors which are predominant ly black, navy, green and brown. Want a coat that you ran wear anywhere? Choose one of the smart , casual coats that are loose enough 1 to go over suits, luxurious enough i to wear with dresses. I Scottsville Rev. Jnck B.

JERRY ADAMS Faces Tigers ll-S Tigers W in Oxer W-M 69-63 Second Victory In Conference Hampden - Sydney s Tigers, hammered out their second Mason-Dixon Conference basket ball victory of the season. Friday night, at Hampden-Sydnev. They chalked up a 69-63 score on Western Maryland. The Tigers' Jerry Adams broke loose for 32 points to cinch the winning game. Adams flipped in a dozen field goals and had a perfect eight-for eight from the foul stripe in helping the Tigers snap a four game losing streak. The visiting Green Terrors were never able to .stop this driving layup and jump push shot. Western Maryland forged out in front at the start and held a 20-18 margin at the end of the first quarter. The Terrors length ened the lead to six points at 29-23 shortly after the second period opened, but at this point Hampden-Sydney abandoned its zone defense and went into a man-to-man. Hampden - Sydney was never headed after the half although Western Maryland kept within striking distance. The Green Ter rors were only four points behind, at 63-59. with a minute and a 1 alf to go in the final stanza, but poor shooting at the foul stripe cost them an opportunity to close the gap. They connected on only 17 of 41 free throws. Jack Needleman and Bui Bopst tallied 13 points apiece to pace the Western Maryland attack.

Virginia, under Act of Congress of March 18”9 Member.Virginia Press Association Member National Editorial Association TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, li)r>:>. , Ike’s First Team pRESIDENT-ELECT EISENHOWER has chosen wisely in makinp appointments to many important positions. Cabinet ap pointees have met with peneral approval. Each is a man of hiph standinp in business and experience. The mere fact that Mr. Eisenhower can surround himself with men of such hiph caliber aupers well for the future. Certainly his team is under consid erable pressure to make pood, and American business, from which most of the members have come, is equally responsible for its success. The voters called for a business ad ministration puided by business men. Mr. Eisenhower has caupht the spirit and America’s finest men have apreed to serve with him. A failure would be a notable dis appointment to the American principles of free enterprise. Appointment this week of Coleman Andrews, Richmond accountant, as director of the Department of Internal Revenue has been hailed with enthusiasm. Mr: Andrews served Virginia well by reorganizing the fiscal machinery when he was State Audi tor. lie served on the Hoover commission in its study of government reorganization. His1 integrity as a public official and his record as an accountant restore public con fidence in the important Internal Revenue department. Proven and unproven charges against high officials in this department during the Truman administration shook public confidence in a governmental func tion which should be beyond question in integrity. We are glad Mr. Eisenhower chose a Virginian and believe he made a wise choice in T. Coleman Andrews. The more we learn of the president-elect’s appointments our confidence in his ability increases. Urgent Call IF you think back a few weeks, to 1952. you may recall in that year the coun try experienced the largest polio epidemic ip its history. More than 56,000 people were struck down by the disease—a total which exceeds highway fatalities bv many thous ands. It is true that in 1952, also, a vaccine was tentatively approved, which seems to immunize most of those who are given the serum. However, there is only a limited sup ply of the immunization and residents in most areas of the country cannot expect to ,see this new weapon used against polio in their communities soon. It seems then that the March of Dimes, the request for donations by the National .Foundation for Infantile Paralysis during the month of January, is unusually appro priate this year. It comes when new dis coveries may be on the horizon, thus mak ing this year’s victims even greater trage dies, in a way. than before. Surely, the pre ventive is foreseeable in tin* near future and every donation at present will help to spur the discovery of the final solution and help those afflicted to recover as rapidly as possible in the interval between now and the final answer to poliomyelitis. It should be unnecessary to urge any one to contribute to the March of Dimes. A reminder might be needed, but, in view of the facts cited above, that is all which should be necessary for everyone to do his part before the end of January. Weather Vane j^ pood economic weather vane can be found in fortunes or misfortunes of agriculture. First changes are generally noted in the prices of farm commodities. As yet there is no indication that prices will go tumbling downward. A decrease in farm prices of foiir per cent is indicative of a' leveling off rather than a downward trend. Figures recently released show that farmers wound up the year 1952 with about the same net income as they earned in 1951, although higher operating costs kept pro fits below those of 1951. A price decline, which started in June, was clearly notice able at the end of the year and was esti ' mated at a four per cent decline by Decem ber. Only two crops—oranges and rice — were record crops in 1952, although several crops approach all-time records. Corn and winter wheat were the second largest crops in U. S. history. The soybean crop was also near record. Cattle increased during the year to a record number of 93.000,000 head compared with 88,000,000 on January 1, 1952. Because of a declining export of farm products and continuing high production totals, the new Administration may be fac ed with the problem of surpluses in 1953. The prospect of surpluses is blamed by some farmers for declining prices. In this connection. Southern cotton farmers and Western wheat interests are sure to plug for continuation of the ninety per cent parity price support on the so called basic commodities. Basic commodi ties, which have long enjoyed this support level, are corn, wheat, cotton, peanuts and tobacco. Northeasternefs ami Midwestern farm groups will probably favor flexible price supports which operate on the suppl.v and-demand theory. The new Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Benson, Utah, may have two years in which to work out a new support program. The 82nd Congress extended rigid support poli cies through 1954 and the 83rd Congress appears content to stand on this until next year, when a new agricultural bill could be worked out, to take effect in 1955. French NATO Block 'pHE new French Premier. Rene May er, comes to power in Paris with the backing of General Charles de Gaulle, who opposes the European army project as ten tatively agreed upon by European powers. The evolution of this new government in France definitely puts a damper on hopes that the European Army Treaty would he speedily executed. Shortly after his appointment, Premier Mayer announced that he would negotiate for "additional protocols’’ to maintain the unity and integrity of the army and of the French Union. This was taken to mean that Mayer was inclined to the De Gaulle po sition of national armies for both France and Germany, instead of units subordinated in a NATO Army, as has been talked for the last two years. One of the effects of Mayer’s ascension was the announcement by German Chancel lor Konrad Adenauer that he now con sidered changes in the original combined army plan desirable. This seemed to be a concession by Adenauer to nationalist units in Germany who were pressing for more nationalist arrangements in the NATO de fense program. Coming at a time when progress was slow, at best, the Mayer and Adenauer statements put a definite crimp into plans to form a West European Army, with German units, anytime soon. The failure to incorporate German di visions into West Europe’s NATO army is a major failure for the NATO powers and a major victory for Russia. The new Presi dent, Dwight D. Eisenhower, realizes the vital role which German troops would play in the NATO plan and said, some time ago, that this problem was the most pressing facing the Allies. However, Western Euro pean nations are still undecided about the addition of Germany into the anti-Com munist front in Europe. In addition, the Germans are haggling among themselves. The Mayer and Adenauer retreats this month pushed the prospect of an early agreement even further into the background and are discouraging to Americans, who have shelled out considerable sums of money in post-war years to help West Europe build up a defense against Commu nist aggression. At present, the major prob lem facing European defense is the in ability of the European countries them selves to agree on a sound defense plan. Babson Discusses The Stock Market Babson Park, Mass. — I freely admit that a great change is tak ing place in the government of this country. Not on.y did the country give Eisenhower a "land slide" victory last November: but Eisenhower is now giving "Big Business" a "landslide" stock market in return. WHY STOCKS HAVE GONE CP The appointment of so many successful businessmen to high offices has made them and their friends very bullish. These friends have passed along the word to Other friends, who have bought stocks at an unprecedented rate. Naturally, stock prices have been going up and will continue to climb as long as this buying exists. Have these Republicans bought for investment or to sell again soon at a profit? Frankly. I do not know, but my guess is the lat ter. If so. when these friends of the big shots begin to sell, who will be the buyers? A stock market can tumble from present prices as fast as it can climb. Af ter Hoover's election in 1928 the Industrial Averages went up 100 points within 10 months, but then fell back over 100 points in only 1 month! WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF? Stocks rallied again during the first part of 1930. bill in April oegan an almost steady decline until, in 1932. they had fallen a total of 300 points from the 1929 peak! This means that the Indus tidal Averages, which were selling above 350 after Hoove i had been in office 6 months, sold at only 50 the fourth year of his term. This does not mean that such a decline can now happen again, primarily because very few stocks are held on margin today. Techni cally. tlie stock market is now in a sound position, but this is not the reason people are buying stocks today. The reason is that, they believe that "Big Business” has at last taken back the control of our country. But if this is true which I doubt' it is no reason to buy stocks for speculation. Hoover selected as his Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon— one of America's richest and brainiest men. "Big Business” controlled the Hoover Adminis tration. The sad truth is that the pres ent period of prosperity has not been built upon honest work and savings. It has been built on bor rowed money, much oi which has been spent on useless War. In 1914. when World Wat II started, our National Debt was less than 2 billion dollars. Today it is over 2:>0 billion dollars. If the Republicans will continue the Truman finance, they prob ably can keep the balloon inflated a few more years. If. however, they start to operate in an honest way — as did President Hoover and Andrew Mellon—by reducing the debt, discharging government employees and urging economy. I stocks will surely have a bad fall. MAKING MONKV IN THE STOCK MARKET Successful brokers are. by na ture. bullish. They must try to get you to buy stocks. I. however. ,-uggest you ask youi broker these two simple questions. f 11 Are stocks cheap today? «21 Will they some day sell 100 j points below present quotations? i Most brokers are honest, even | when wearing rosy glasses. Get a i "Yes" or "No" answer—then use your judgment. It is entirely poss.oie that the stock market will go higher: but this possibility does not interest me. Based on all previous history. I know stocks will some day sell 100. or perhaps 200, points lower. I'm putrting my hard-earned sav ings in the bank awaiting such a time. What money i have made has been through Patience. Who was it said: “Patient Waiters are Never Losers.”? i ACTIVE WORKER AT 102 j Newburyport, Mass. — Henry Bailey Little was lecently re I elected to his 55th consecutive term as head of the Institution * for Savings—two days after his 1102nd birthday.

Volcano leased Near Naples For 750 Years POZZUOLI, Italy—Since the end j of the 12th century, Italians have I been teasing with impunity a vol- j ! cano less than 30 air miles from ; dangerous Vesuvius which has • caused so much damage. The volcano is Solfatara. a little ! one at Pozzuoli just west of Naples ! : which has not erupted since A I) I 1198. It is safe because it is equipped with iiundreds of tiny fis sures. or fumaroles, which con tinuously give off gases and thus relieve interior pressures. Provoking a Volcano Tourist guides discovered years ago that a lighted match or even , a cigarette brought close to the l mouth of one fumarole not only provoked that particular one into emitting a denser cloud of steam than usual, but simultaneously ox ■ cited others in the vicinity. Trav elers who have been mystified by : ihe spectacular phenomenon can be assured there is a scientific explanation, having to do with the causes of condensation. Volcanic fires are not far be neath the surface of the entire Naples littoral Vesuvius, which : impartially buried Pompeii, A D. 79. and Allied air fields in 1944. taps this reservoir of hot gases and molten rock. « So, probably, does Solfatara. nearby dormant Mt. Nuovo which witnesses said built itself to a height of 400 feet during three September days of 1538. and the Phlegraean Fields area containing the grotto of the Cumaean Sybil. This ancient soothsayer undoubt edly delivered her prophesies from behind a cloud of steam arising out of a fumarole long since dead but 1 remembered in mythology. No ('otmnon Chimneys But Vesuvius goes through its cataclysms, occurring usually at least once each dozen years, with out discernible effect on its neigh bors. which probably means there are no common chimneys from the fiery depths According to vulcanologists. enough safety valve fumarolcs on Vesuvius could make the mighty dealer of death a:, harmless as Solfatara. In the absence of funui loles. tremendous pressures an* corked up within and beneath the volcano by matter that starts ob structing the chimney immediately after each eruption and build up until they burst.

Vanden berg met a man and his wife at a reception and mentioned that he was going to Korea.

The general as sented. When asked what was in the package by P F.C. Baldwin, the general smiled and said he wouldn't want to spoil a surprise.

Clipping In Time Produces Clean, High Quality Milk Clipping cows regularly is one of the first steps tn producing clean, high quality milk. Dr. G. C. Graf, head of the dairy department at VPI. says clipping saves 10 per cent of the time when preparaing udders for milking, and reduces sediment by preventing dirt accumuation — the chief source of sediment, in the milk. The cows are easier to keep t lean since long hairs on the flank, udder, and belly make a good place for dirt to cling. Furthermore, lice and ticks are more easily controlled when the cows are kept clipped. Clip the flanks of the cows back of a line from the tail head to the lront attachment of the udder. Clip the entire udder. Clip the tail from the tail head to a point about 8 to 10 inches above the end of the tail bone. The switch of tlie tail may be shortened if it reaches to the ground. If lice are present, an area about six inches vide along the the backbone may be clipped. Then spray or dust this area for effective lice control. Do not clip the cows all over during the winter months. They should be clipped as soon as they are brought into the barn for the winter, and then again in mid \\ injer. Another tip — sharp clipper Wades make the job easier. CAT “GHOST" Los Angeles — John P. Turk had been driven to neat despera tion in recent weeks o> a myster ious caller.

M 1 WOMAN'S WORLD Porch, Garage, Basement May Be Ideal for Recreational Center By Ertta Haley NEED a playroom for the young sters? Could you use a room for that ping-pong table and other rec reational activities? If yours Is a busy, energetic and active family, then such a room is absolutely es sential. There are undoubtedly space for these activities if you just look , about the house. Decorated proper ly, they may well provide the rec reational outlet which your family ; needs. i A recreational center or playroom t is something which not only can be, : but is, used every single day. Once you've set the space aside and dec orated suitably, though inexpensive ly, you'll never know how you got along without it. “But where can we play?" is a familiar cry not just from your younger children but the teen-agers as well. Then, too, Dad may have some of his friends over and will want space exclusively for enter taining them, without youngsters. A recreation room is the answer to such needs as these. Rainy days, as well as cold weath | er days which are ahead after the ; summer-sun season is over makes . the small investment well worth ! while. It’s a room which will be used all the year around. Most I homemakers appreciate the room, j too, since it relieves the house and children’s bedrooms of much clut ter, and still she can keep an eye , on the children without more than a moment’s checking. Decorating a recreation room calls for a family conclave and atl the fun and interest that usually has. Whatever the interests and ac tivities are, will, of course, deter mine what will be done. Use favor ..v ‘ ' ... Fix the porch as a play room ... ile colors, enlist family help in completing the project; and above all, have fun! Make your Porch An Extra Roam Are you fortunate in having a glassed-in porch? Why not make a layroom for the youngsters? A \ serving room for mother? An “ex tra room” which will receive guests? Porches like this are frequently narrow and lend themselves to win dow seats which are in reality box springs and mattresses, covered like seats. Thus they provide plenty of good, comfortable seating for young sters and oldsters alike. This room becomes an ideal sew ing room for the lady of the home, too, because of its excellent light. If large enough, one corner of the room might be set aside for this ac tivity. If you want an extra room which will take care of guests, the porch which serves as a play room can also become a bedroom simply with clever curtain treatment. Make these full so they can be drawn and thus give privacy. Bookcases and cabinets lining the walls where you do not have the window seats can then serve not only for toys, but also for extra linens and storage, as well as stor age for guests who may remain for a while. Decor for a porch used as an ex tra room should be done in cool colors as it usually has a lot of sun and light. Use blue or green ...■ I ■ “■ ' ~ ~ U . The garage as a recreation center. generously and lighten with touches of yellow, red or orange. If you like, in place of window scats, choose smart summer furni ture in the form of a sofa or couch, llattan is smart, and the colors used for the cushions are informal and the design casual enaugh for ! sucn a room. Close Open Porches ; f or Increased Use If you’re expanding either in ac tivities or a desire for more living space, consider closing your open porch. This is done mainly by add ing windows to replace screening or just open space. This type of porch will still be an open porch because you can drop DREAMER WINS SI,000 Brisbane, Australia — A pious Sydney bookseller. Vince Read, who claims he dreams the win ning numbers in the slate lottery, recently pickedup another $1,000 by drawing third and fourth Prizes.

L M’GHS SELF TO DEATH Tokyo—Mrs. Kimino Hakaga v.ka laughed so much during a comedy at a movie house in Osaka., that she suffered a fatal hemorrhage of the brain, , Protect Dishes Delicate china and glassware can be saved from kltchea ca lamities when the inside of tho sink Is cushioned srith a rub ber sink mat.

Perforations In mat and rubber feel on underside allow complete drainage after washing. the windows or open them, end thus give yourself all the cool com fort which an open porch provides. Storage cabinets can be placed underneath the windows, and these are not too expensive if they are built in while the porch is remod eled. All the windows, of course, need not be of the Same sire, either. Some can drop lower, especially on the short side of the porch, while smaller windows may be used on the longer side. This gives you a chance to use taller pieces as well as storage cabinets on this side. Furniture for this type of porch may still be of the casual summer variety. Rattan Or well-seasoned woods such as birch or redwood are very popular because they come with nice, comfortable cushions. Side and coffee tables are available, too, so that the furnishings can be matehed. Whatever type you select, make certain it's sturdy and practical, as the room will be used the year arottnd, just as are other rooms in trie home. You can select useful pieces, but naturally they should be in keeping with what your budget permits. Colors chosen in the cushion cov erings should haromnize with the furnishings in thd home, too, so you can have a coordinated scheme. This closed-in porch thus becomes* not just a porch but actually an ex tra room, and as such it should match your decorating scheme. Garage Can Furnish Room for Fua You’re expanding your living space, and there’s no room in the house. What about a garage? You may have dispensed with your car. or, if you have a double garage and a single car. here are possibilities for family fun and play rooms. If you have a garage that’s close to the street, you’ll want to get privacy by filling in the original garage door space with high storage cabinets. These can be used to house toys, games or even items which are not neeessarltly part of the playroom equipment. Narrow garages can be Improved often with a high bay window which takes away their boxy look. Some times the original car doors can be eliminated to improve the appear ance of the room. Small garagts converted Into playrooms are excellent for music and reading centers. You might have one or two sofas lining the walls. Cover these in easy-to-clean tailored materials, and use the square bolsters right against the walls to carry out the tailored ef fect. Large garage* are big enough to hold a ping-pong table spread out and ready for use at all timea. Along one side or another of the room you might have a conversational or a rest center with a comfortable couch and chair or two and a low coffee table so the room can be used for refreshment and relaxa tion in-between the games. Radios and television sets are finding their way into recreation rooms, too. In this cate your seating arrangement* will be for best view ing. Should you need a lot of seat ing equipment inexpensively con sider making stools and padding them or investing in plastic, In flatable hassocks. Select Durable, Colorful Floor Coverings Play rooms receive a lot of wear and much of it is hard wear. If you’ve decided to cover the floor, get the best you can afford or it will soon have to be replaced. Rooms which are going to be used for games such as ping-pong need sturdy covering like linoleum, the heavier, the more satisfactory. Color should match or give proper background to furnfshiag colors and harmonize with the rest of the home. Powhatan Hi News .

Farmers are asked to look about their farms and try to locate tools and machinery that are in need of repairs, then bring them to the class where Lawrence Lee, a former blacksmith of Cumber land. will gladly give advice and. if necessary, assistance in making needed repairs.

There will be no cost for using the power and hand tools in the farm shop. Young rarmers Club The Young Farmers Club of L. P.
