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.

Jackson High School, were the
recipients of the fret trips. Wal
ton is a member of the Future

Definite Dates
Madison, Richmond,

Following mid-term exams, the
Hampden-Sydney Gltc Club will
begin work on one of its most
ambitious spring seasons in recent
years. Because of the ‘‘broken-up"
nature of the first semester, very
little, other than ilie Christmas
conceit, could be undertaken:
however, the second semester is
almost uninterrupted, and this
allows the Glee Club time to ac
complish a great deal.
The following is a summary of
the definite appearances being
scheduled: programs at Law
renceville. at Madison College in
Harrisonburg, at Martinsville, at
Grace Covenant Church in Rich
mond: a Spring conceit here at
Hampden - Sydney, and a per
formance at Arlington. There aic
several other engagements pend
ing. and if and when they become
definite, they will* be announced.

above will be "repeat perform

Club visited both Martinsville
and Arlington, with some success.
At Arlington members were privi
leged to sing with the Civic Sniy
phony Orchestra and be reviewed
by Washington Critic Paul Hume.
It is indeed a pleasure to Io'-k
forward to another appearance in
this city. For this program, the
Glee Club will prepare Gabriel

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

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

have a large wall which can be used

1 Design or Remodel
Laundry Room With
Much Care, Thought
By ERTTA HALEY
\ STASHING the “blues'' out of
* * blue Monday is not a job for
automatic laundry equipment
alone.
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.

which must be served by your home
before you decide to put in a laun

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

eliminate the need for drying some

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 ;

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.

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.
Nobody on the Hampaen-Sydney
squad reached double figures ex

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.”?

Childhood Days and Scenes
As I m nearing the end of life’s journey
And my future is shrouded in mist.
I recall dear scenes from my childhood days
Which far down in my mind still cxe•.
■loytul thoughts of those days still encircle
My heart in a tender embrace.
And the light from their shrines deeply hidden
Reflects joy from the past on my face.
Quite often I line! myself dreaming
Of those moments too lovely to last.
And each one in my heart still lingers
As it throbs to the pulse of days past.
Ere temptation and wickedness made me
A sharer of sorrow and sin;
W hen God s glory made brighter my pathway
And it filled me with gladness within.
I hope when my life here is ended
And I'm dwelling oj^ God’s promised shore,
That the joy I knew in childhood days
Will remain with me forevermore.
I think that my soul would long for them
And that even in Heaven I'd be
Lonesome at times for these childhood scenes
Were they erased from my memory.

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

and molten rock. «
So, probably, does Solfatara.

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

General Delivers
Package to P. F. C.
HEADQUARTERS, 5th A F.. Ko
rea—P.F.C. N. G. Baldwin's career
m the marine corps is made—that's
for certain.
' A four-star general made a spe
cial trip to deliver a package to
him personally. The general is
U S. Air Force Chief of Staft Hoyt
Vandenberg.
While m Spain recently. Vanden
berg met a man and his wife at a
reception and mentioned that he
was going to Korea. Considering it
a remarkable ' coincidence that
their son was serving there, the
couple asked the general if he
would mind dropping off a package
for them for their son, Marine
P F.C. Baldwin. 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.
Baldwin said he bad never seen
the general before except in pie- j
tures
Baldwin's home is in Minne
apolis.

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.

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

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

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
.
The Indians may have been
swept off their feet oy Fluvanna
but they made up for it Friday
by defeating Montpelier 5-1 to 22.
It was a swell game, one of the
best the Indians have played. We
have high hopes of retaining the
trophy which we now fold. Tues
day the boys lost to Washington
Henfy by only one point. It was a
very’ close and exciting game. The
girls won by a score of 37 to 20.
The recently organized Varisty
Club of Powhatan High is now
starting plans for a Minstrel
which will be presented in March.
A minstrel will be an annual

friendly living in our midst, most
deservedly won our affection and
admiration, and it could be prop

Ethics.
Lion Shepherd served his coun

throughout the time lie lived in
Farmville. he entered wholeheart
edly in all phases of community
life including the religious, civic
and business life of Farmville.
We record his passing with a
sense of keen sorrow but shall
long remember his kind and con
siderate friendship and shall
deeply and truly miss the
presence of a worthy Lion and a
lovable character.
BE IT RESOLVED, that a copy
of this resolution be spread on a
separate page in the Minute

Farm Machinery Repair Class
The Farm Machinery Repair
class held its first meeting of the
school year in the vocational agri
culture shop of Lutner P. Jack
son High School on Tuesday.
Jan. 13. at 6:30 p. m Future re
pair classes will be conducted in
the school shop every Tuesday
and Thursday nights from 6:30
to 9:30 for the next 16 weeks.
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.
Farmers are reminded not to
come to the shop with the idea
of leaving their tools and machin
ery and returning later for them.
The work will have to be done
by the farmers themselves, and
they are expected to lurnish their
own materials such as plow
points, ax handles and plow han
dles. There will be no cost for
using the power and hand tools in
