Dwight D. Eisenhower became
the 34th chief executive of the
United States Tuesday—an event
which for Americans pushed news
from other areas of tne world off
the front pages.
The small - town boy from
Kansas who moved into the high

after gaining recognition as one
of the world's greatest military

pray, the power to discern right
from wrong and allow all our
works and actions to be governed
thereby and by the laws of this
land, ile had written the prayer
himself.
Reporters on the scene wrote
that when Eisenhower asked the
crowded thousands to bow their
heads, a complete absence of
sound or movement was apparent,
as though that vast audience
knew that here was the one sure
approach to a solution to tne
problems which the U. S. shares
in common with its weald neigh

Don't Try to Beat It, Nurse It
Or Best. Prevent It, Jenkins Says
Southside Health District resi
dents were reminded today that a
few simple precautions should be
observed in guarding against
spread of flu which. Dr. H. E.
Jenkins said, has hit greater num
bers than usual, but is not yet in
epidemic proportions.
The district health officer said
the type prevelant in this area
starts as the common cold, then
turns to nnld flu lasting three to
four days.
The number of cases lias not
required any epidemic precautions
and has not been sufficient to
justify closing of any schools in
the district. It is prevalant
enough and enfeebling enough,
however, to deserve wide public
attention. Dr. Jenkins feels.
Rules To Follow
qii is can best be shown by ob
serving the known, but so fre
quently. ignored precautions
against colds. Adults themselves
should observe these and should
double efforts to see that children
do. He listed these chief precau
tions:
Church Women Ask
Clothing, Food
For CWS Collection
The Farm v ille Council of
Church Women will again spon
sor tlie quarterly appeal for food
and - clothes to be sent to the
needy overseas under the direction
of Church World Service.
Tlie pick-up will be made here
February 3. and Council leaders
publish the date now to enable
residents who wish to cooperate
to begin putting materials aside.
The Council announcement
stressed that food is particularly
desirable, and is distributed
through the CROP program.
This collection will tic the regu
lar quarterly appeal through
Church World Service. The Pres
byterian church will again serve
as collection center.
FIRE ALARM BL'T
NO DAMAGE WEDNESDAY
Firemen answered a general
alarm Wednesday at 11:30 a. m..
which summoned aid to 524 S.
Main Street. Oil used as fuel
ignited but was extinguished
without damage.
Avoid use of towels, classes and
utensils in common with other in
dividuals. Cover 'the mouth and
nose when couching and snee/inc.
Avoid people with colds.
Dress for the weather and avoid
drafts: get plenty of rest, and
keep the feet dry and warm. Cold
(symptoms and a temperature
should be warning signs that par
ticular care is needed
"Nurse" Along
Dr. Jenkins said the best pre
caution is to nurse the starting
cold along with a period indoors
or in bed. rather than trying to
"beat” it while continuing the
normal routine. If possible, avoid
exposure in bad weather.
If symptoms persist cr are
aggravated, call the family doc
tor. was his final word of advice.
Local Youths
March With VMI,
VP1 Cadet Corns
The age of science works in
devious ways its miracles to per
forin.
The inauguration of a president
of tire U. S. once not so long ago
was but a strange, vague printed
word impression for most adult
Americans.
The inauguration of Dwight D.
Eisenhower as 34ih president of
the United States was real, alive,
inspiring to the tiniest youngster
on up in Farmville—and across
the U, S.
At Farmville High School a TV
set was installed in the auditor
ium and students watched the
proceedings from 11:15 a. m., to
1 p. m.
Manv See At Home
Eighth graders at FHS, study
ing the U. S. system in personal
Problems classes, were divided
into groups of 20. under the
supervision of teachers, and in
vited to homes to watch tire
events.
At the Elementary School,
youngsters whose parents request
ed it, were permitted to leave
school at 10:30 a. m.. to watch in
homes where TV was available.
For those who remained at school,
there was a radio in each room.
Later TV-viewing students re
turned to render reports in each
classroom.
March in raradr
Actual participation.in inaugit
ral ceremonies was an honor shav
ed by a number of Farmville stu
dents at Virginia higher educa
tion institutions.
James J. Mottley. a junior cadet
at VPI. marched in the parade as
a member of Tech's crack Persh
ing Rifles. The famed drill team
was accompanied by VPTs prize
taking band, the Tech Hight.v
Tities. For the Per-hing Rifles. It
was the second inaugural, the
team having marched as Honor
Guard for Governor Tuck at the
Truman inaugural in 1949.
Eight of Farmville's nine youths
at VMI marched passed the re
viewing stand smartly. Only
Everett Irby, confined with flu.
missed. Marching were Ronald
Coleman. David Paulette. Ned
Whitlock. Arthur Koch. Elliott
Booker. III. James Whitt. Buddy
Hubbard and Frank T. Wootton
Jr.
A catastrophe for parents and
friends of the VMI cadet corps
marching unit occured when the
TV sponsor's time expired and the
program was cut off. The VMI
unit was to have been the next
to appear on the screen.
A bit of after-inauguration ex
citement rippled along Main
street in Farmville Wednesday
when the limousine of the Gover
nor of North Carolina, with its
shiny No. 1 license plate, appear
ed.
En route home from Washing
ton. the neighboring gubernatorial
delegation stopped here for a
brief luncheon. It is not known
whether the governor was in the
group or not. since he was re
ported confined by illness, and
had been represented in Washing
ton by North Carolina's Lieu
tenant- Governor.
High Tone of Inaugural
Impresses Local Visitors
The high tone if the inaugura
tion of President Dw ight D. Eisen
hower. Tuesday, impressed two
Hampden-Sydne.v visitors — Dr.
and Mrs. David C. Wilson.
Soil District
Supervisors Will
Attend State Session
The Piedmont and Robert E.
Lee Soil Conservation Districts
will be well represented during
the 14th annual meeting of the
Virginia Association of district
supervisors next Tuesday, at Vir
ginia Beach.
Representing the Piedmont
district will be Mason Knabc. of
Powhatan, district chairman; R.
W. Dupuy. of Worsham: Paul
Cassell, of Nottoway; W. T.
Chumney, of Amelia, and Claude
Folkcs. of Ford.
From the Robert E. Lee district
will go R. W. Ciannaway. of Buck
ingham: and E. L Seay, of Cum
berland.
Also attending will be soil con
servation specialists operating in
this area. T. M. Dean, of Farm
vine. antf Frank Carr, of Appo
mattox.
Delegates will consider a water
conservation program for Virgin
ia. will tour the Norfolk Navy
\ard, and will hear, among other
leading speakers. Dr. R. M. Salter,
chief of the U. S. Soil Conserva
tion Lvrvivj. WaOiUigtoti. D C.
“Of course, we were thrilled
that the weather was so beauti
ful," Mrs. Wilson said. “And we
thought that the floats that de
picted Mr. Eisenhower’s life in the
parade were especially impres
sive."
Almost every state had a float
in the parade. Most of them dis
played products and industries in
the states, Mrs. Wilson said.
The Hampden-Sydney visitors
had excellent seats opposite Blair
House. They went to Washing
ton. Sunday afternoon, and re
turned to Hampden-Sydney, Wed
nesday morning.
"There was a tremendous hand
when the veterans of the Korean
War marched by in the parade."
Mrs. Wilson remarked. “The mili
tary part of the inaugural parade
was quite outstanding, with tanks,
men in different kinds of uni
forms. and oilier military arms
and equipment."
Two of Virginia's contributions
to the p arade. VPt and VM7 bands
and cadets, were "snappy and
outstanding." Mrs. Wilson said.
California and Texas sent
beautiful Palimino horses to
Washington for the parade.
Tremendous crowds lined the
streets in Washington." Mrs. Wil
son said. And this may be a great
consolation to those many other
Farmville citizens who viewed the
inaugural happen.ngs irom then
television sets in comfortable liv
ing room*.

Beacon Calf Starter helps you grow large-framed ani
mals with deep, wide barrels capable of handling large
amounts of hay, silage and pasture. This development
enables your heifers to produce more milk at less cost
when they come into production.
Calves fed on milk often lack this wide spring of rib,
(depth of body and dairy sharpness. Milk-fed calves tend
to fatten in the neck, shoulders, rear quarters and
mammary tissues.
Try Beacon Calf Starter. Actually costs less than whole
milk or milk replacement products. On sale here.

Cumberland junior Red Cross Efforts
Brinsr Cheer To Camp Piekett Hospital
Cumberland County Junior Rrd
Cross, under teacher sponsors,
has done a very fine piece of
work this year. All schools, 15
elementary and two . high schools
are enrolled in the organization
The amount contributed by the
children during the campaign was
$85. Prom this amount, in ad
dition to the enrollment fees sent
in. were $10 sent to the National
Children’s Fund, $38 were spent
for first aid kits to be kept in the
iocal schools, and $9.60 was spent
for supplies for Christmas favors
for patients at Camp Pickett Hos
pital.
Christinas Trays
The leal outstanding work of
the children were the very at
tractive candy and nut cups that
were prepared for the Christmas
trays for the Camp Pickett Hos
pital. Five hundred of these were
made up and delivered before
Christmas.
It was also necessary to fill
these cups, so the Junior Red
Cross members solicited help to
do this — $5 was contributed b.s
tile WMS of Tar Wallet Church
and $10 by the Home Demonstra
tion Club of Cumberland. Ten
dollars were given by the Cum
berland Youth Fellowship for lit
tle birthday Rifts to be used in the
wards.
Making C'ookirs
Another fine project is the
making of cookies for Camp Pic
kett Hospital. The girls in Cum
berland High School Home Eco
nomic Department, under Mr
Fenvn Putney and Mrs. Allen
make four dozens of cookies week
ly for these wounded soldiers. The
other four dozens that are de
livered weekly are made by ladu
who are interested in the idea n[
trying to add a little n ;p of
cheer for the boys wh have given
so much.
A letter from the Red Cross
Field Director staft-s that the boys
receive much pleasure from the
little things members have been
able to do
The Cumberland Juniors are
very fortunate m the matter of
transportation of their contribu
tions to Camp Pickett. Miss Bone,
the Prince Edward Executive Di
rector. and the Farmville Grey
Ladies deliver them in a wav that
makes them doubly acceptable

1933 Farm Outlook
Given To Farmers
By V PI Specialist
Cumberland Club
Hears Predictions
At Ladies’ Night
\ VPI specialist told members
and guests of thb Cumberland
F irm is' Club what he thought
femur will be like in 1953. The
J id:i" Night Bamuet was held
>t F -.hit night at John Ran
dolph School. The speaker was
F J. re.- associate extension
economist.
".\ \t year's outlook suggests
•ha- farmers should proceed with
caution." lie said. "Some decline
in prices is likeiy, but we are not
headed fur a depression. We are
■ list headed for a settling back
process."
I i s re w.ll still be a profit for
farm, is :n 1953, he said, but not
gtlite as much as in 1952.
I hrer factors
Mr Krueger pointed out that
farm prosperity depends in gen
eral on three tilings ■ general
i eon nne situation, demand for
commodities, and supply of com
modities.
Speaking about the outlook for
’.ion-farm workers. Mr. Krueger
made these predictions;
First, urban people will have
about as much mcney to spiend
fur food in 1953 as they did in
1952.
Second, people will buy food
somewhat more sparingly and
carefully next year.
Thud, decline in buying will not
be drastic in 1953.
"I feel, however, that a more
pronounced decline is in Uie mak
ing lor 1954 and 55," he said.
Tiphter Squeeze
lit addition to slightly lower
prices ami slightly increased
fanning costs in 1953. the speaker
said that these factors will result
in "a little m re of a price-cost
squeeze than fanners had in 1952.
This squeeze Will not be serious,
but some downward adjustments
will have to be made."
Kach month since last August
there lias been a decline of 2 to
3 per cent over the farm prices of
the preceding m nth. The rca
■ in [or tiiis drop is that demand
for food has about stabilized, but
production has continued to in
crease." the specialist observed.
rite speaker said that his fore
cast was based cn careful study
ami economic analysis of the best
m!' filiation available at this
time.

Quaker Founder
j WASHINGTON — The religious
vision that came to a young Eng
i lishman 300 years ago brought into
| being one of the world's most in
i fluential faiths and contributed
much toward founding the Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania.
The young Englishman was
George Fox. The religion he found
ed was that of the Society af
Friends, or Quakers. And the de
sire to create a sanctuary of re
ligious freedom in a world of per
secution motivated one of the great
est of the Quakers. William Penn
UM4-171B), in the establishment of
Pennsylvania.
Penn was the son of a wealthy
and influential admiral . serving
England and before the Restora
tion. As such, the young man could
have been an important courtier to
Charles II and James II. and he
did spend considerable time in or
near the court. But he fell early
' under the influence of the follow
ers of George Fox. and became a
close friend of the Quaker leader.
Traveled Youth
As a youth Penn lived in England
and Ireland, traveled on the con
tinent and tasted the pleasures of
the French court of Louis XIV. But
when he was in Ireland at the age
of 22 the Quaker influence, long
within him. became dominant and
he was converted.
It is ironic that while Penn was
: on military duty in Ireland, shortly
before his conversion, his best
known portrait was painted. This
portrait shows a man whose Quaker
principles were absolutely opposed
to armed force clad in a suit of
armor!
For almost 20 years after his
conversion Penn worked for the
| Friends in England and on the
i Continent, suffering imprisonment
i and indignity. In 1681, he pressed
Charles II for accounting of a debt
i owed his father, and was granted
what is now Pennsylvania in pay
j ment.
Medel Constitution
The grant was what Penn de
sired. and he wasted little time in
setting up the colony. Penn drew
up a constitution that was a model
of fairness and toleration It grant
ed complete freedom of religion,
democratic government, and free
dom of opportunity.
The death penalty, applicable in
England for some 200 offenses,
could be invoked only in cases of
wilful murder
New Space Concepts
Emerge in Survey
WASHINGTON-A new and revo
lutionary picture of the universe is
slowly emerging in the series of
2.000 photographs of the sky being
made from a California mountain
top by the National Geographic
Society-Palomar observatory sky
survey.
Dr Rudolph Minkowski, re
search astronomer at the Cali
fornia Institute of Technology, pre
pared for the recent international
geographic congress in Washington
a paper telling of the survey's
progress.
An important aspect of the urn
dertaking. Dr. Minkowski re
ported. is the knowledge it will
provide for astronomers and physi
cists of the place of gas and dust
in the galaxy, of which the solar
system is an extremely tiny part.
"Then content of gas and dust
is intimately connected with the
structure and the stellar content
of a stellar system," Dr. Minkow
ski wrote. He added that the sur
vey will give "a complete, new,
and in some aspects revolutionary
picture of the structure and dis
tribution of gas and dust in the
galaxy . . .
"The survey shows the picture
of this distribution over the whole
sky to a depth of 250.000.000 light
years, the most complete infor
mation obtainable with present
day techniques, and thus contrib
utes an essential step for finding
an answer to the question whether
the large scale distribution in space
is uniform or non-uniform."
Business Executive
Builds Good Will
BOSTON—Here's how a business
executive built employe good will
by getting to know his employees
and getting them to know him. He
is Harold J. Walter, president of
Bachman Uxbridge Corp., Ux
bridge, Mass.
For the past seven years, he and
Mrs. Walter have entertained
groups of 25 workers at their home
every third Monday night. The
employes are served dinner and
entertained with motion pictures
of the particular'employes at work
and are also shown a short film
subject. For two hours they forgci
that they are "boss" and worker
The improved relationships show
the project has worked well, said
Mr. Walter.
Over the years, many of the
1.000 employes at the Uxbridge
plant have been to dinner at the
Walters several times. It is Walt
er s policy to invite new workers
to dine with the "boss" as soon as
possible after going on the payroll.

New Map Shows
World Contrast
And Conflicts
WASHINGTON-Thc tremendous
contrasts of the world’s greatest
body of water, with its vast stretch
es of marine wilderness thousands
of miles from any land and its
equally great areas dotted with
myriad islands, are dramatically
illustrated in the National Geo
graphic Society's new map. The
Pacific Ocean.
The Pacific covers about a third
of the earth's surface, and the
events taking place today on its
waters, shores, and islands can
well affect the future of mankind.
The 29-by-37li-ineh ten-color map
was distributed to the Society's
more than 2.000.000 member fam
ilies with the December issue of
the National Geographic Magazine.
Members may purchase additional
copies by mail
Alaska to Australia
The map covers an area extend
ing from Cape Horn to Siberia,
from Alaska to Australia. In addi
tion. the most important of the
20.000 islands of the Pacific are
shown in detail in 60 inserts.
Wake Island, for instance, gal
lantly defended by U.S, Marines
and civilians against the Japanese
in World War II, is dwarfed on the
big map by the red star indicating
an important airport. An inset,
however, depicts the island's pe
culiar horseshoe shape, its lagoon,
airport, and settlements.
In like manner Pitcairn Island
is a tiny dot at the extreme east
ern end of the Tuamotu Archi
pelago on the large map. The in
set carries names familiar to read
ers of "Mutiny on the Bounty.”
such as Point Christian and Bounty
Bay.
Atomic Ocean
The terrible realities of nuclear
fission arc a part of the Pacific.
Charted are Hiroshima and Naga
saki, and on the other side of the
ocean the U.S. Western Desert,
wartime home of the bomb. Close
together in the Marshalls are Bi
kini and Kniwctok. final U.S. bomb
proving grounds. And within the
map area on the Monte Bello Is
lands, 50 miles west of Australia,
Britain's first atomic weapon was
exploded in October.
Not only is the Pacific the
world's widest ocean. It is the deep
est. Between Guam and Yap in
1951 the British survey ship Chal
lenger sounded the deepest water
known to man. where the bottom
is 35.6-10 feet down.
four Wish Is Reason
/lying Saucers Seen
EVANSTON, 111. — People see
flying saucers” simply because
they want to ice them, a North
western University professor said
recently.
Basing his observations on a
continuing study of public opinion
■onducted at the university over
!he past several years. Dr. Curtis
MacDougall. professor of journal
ism, said that people become con
vinced there arc sueh things as
flying saucers or flying disks, look
for them in the sky and conse
quently think they see them.
But he sees a ray of hope in our
current attitude toward the phe
nomenon. "We're improving," he
said. "Today we at least accept a
scientific explanation of the
saucers, even though that explan
ation may be space ships from
Mars. It wasn't too many years
ago when we would have labelled
the thing as supernatural, rather
than ‘super-scientific'.”
Even five years ago. MacDougall
notes, the scientists couldn't get
a word in edgewise because of the
apparent hysteria. Today we at
least listen to their premise that
unusual light refractions may be
caused by varying temperatures of
air layers
We've had scales like this for
years. MacDougall said, ranging
from Edgar Allen Poe's trans-At
lantic balloon hoax to Orson
Welles’ famed Martian invasion
broadcast
"Maybe visitors from other plan
ets would be a good thing," Mac
Dougall conjectures. "It might
serve to unify us for ‘peace on
earth’.”
New Container Saves
Milk in Cold or Heat
CHICAGO—Whether a housewife
lives in Butte, Mont or Mobile,
Ala , she no longer has to worry
about spoilage of door-delivered
milk, because of a new metal con
tainer which protects milk from
sizzling heat or bitter cold, hours
after it is delivered.
The container is able to protect
milk cartons or bottles from freez
ing or spoiling, because it is in
sulated with a layer of vermiculitd,
a material also used for house fill
insulation.
Tlte box comes in sizes large
enough to hold four, six, or eight
bottles. It is constructed of galvan
ized steel, is water-tight, and has
a cover which prevents contam
ination by dogs, cats, or insects.
Tests have shown that milk
placed in the container will not
freeze in less than four hours, even
when the temperature is 10 dcgiccs
above zero.

Precautions Urged
Now to Safeguard
[Spring Lambing
! Sheep raisers were advised to
day that extra precautions taken
I now against pregnancy disease
will pay big dividends at spring
'lambing time. The American
Foundation for Animal Health
i urged that bred ewes receive good
| rations and exercise during the
; winter. Neglect on that score now
could mean loss of ewes and
} lambs in the spring, the Founda
. tion said.
"Pregnancy disease is a toxic
condition resulting from the extra
demands on the ewe's system dur
ing gestation," says the Founda
tion's report. "It usually results
from faulty diet or lack of exer
cise. which allows waste products
[ to build up in the body. Ewes car
j vying twins or triplets are espe
cially susceptible.
"First sign of pregnancy disease
; usually is noted a few days before
I lambing, when some ewes start
lagging behind the flock as it is
driven. Affected ewes often grind
their teeth, appear dull and weak,
and tremble when exercised, and
go down."
Tlie Foundation emphasized
that prevention is the best way to
avoid pregnancy disease losses.
Although veterinarians can save

Senator Robinson—
Washington Inaugural Ceremonies
Symbol of United States Growth
We probably haf'
in Washington thi
week more visitor
for the Inaugura
tion than we have
had since the In
a u u u r a t i o n o'
Woodrow Wilson in
1912. when the
Democrats felt it
was their turn to
>en.Kobenson
do some celebrating," writes Sen
ator A Willis Robertson this week
in his column of Congressional
Comment.
Senator Robertson points out
an interesting political turn of
events in showing that no Re
publican member of the Senate
has previously served under a
Republican President, and that
applies likewise to most House
members (he discloses.
Pointing to the contrast with
earlier days, lie writes of the
innuguartion: "All this was in
sharp contrast with early inaugu
rations. When George Washing
ton was inaugurated his Secretary
of State. Alexander Hamilton,
handsome and well dressed as
well as possessing a brilliant in
tellect, wanted the occasion to be
a brilliant affair. But Washing
ton. desiring to encourage our
infant textile industry, took the
oath of office in a brown suit
made in a small domestic mill.
Nobody attepipted to make
Thomas Jefferson's Inaugural a
brilliant affair because they knew
it was useless He rode iiis favorite
saddlehorse from the White
House to the Capitoi. practicing
extreme simplicity and Remand
ing it of all connected with the
event.
"The scene at Washington this
week reflected the difference be
tween thirteen small States in
the days of Washington, which
had but recently won their free
dom from a great world power,
and forty-eight States in 1953
which have become, from the
standpoint of wealth and capacity
to produce, tlie greatest power in
the world There was probably
more money represented in
Washington on Inauguration Day
than this or any other Capital of
the world has ever known "
Budget Views
Senator Robertson believes
budget considerations hinge on
President Eisenhower's view of
the need for national uefense and
security spending. On this matter,
he writes:
During the election campaign
General Eisenhower dedicated his
belief that spending during the
fiscal year starting next June
could be held to around $70 bil
lion . After the Truman budget
was presented Senator Taft again
said he thought the $70 billion
figure could be achieved. That
would compare with a spending
total of $78.6 billion proposed by
' President Truman. Last year
President Truman si,tried out by
asking Congress to permit $85.4
billion to be spent tins year but
we rejected some of Lis proposals
for new spending and by ecohomy
cuts in oilier items we brought
tin figure down to approximately
v74.6 billion of actual spending,
according to the latest Budget
Bureau estimates.
I: would be much more diffi
cult to cut $11 billion out of the
new Human budget, however,
because the outgoing President
did not include any allowances
for the cost of proposed new legis
lation All but about $10 billion of
th(> Truman budget ,.s lor military
services and related national se
curity purposes or for such inflex
ible items as interest on the na
tional debt and payments which
we are obligated to make to vet
erans . i
"We shall cut what we can out
of that $10 billion but our ability
to do so is limited by the fact that
much i f. it is for essential things
like the postal service, making
and enforcing laws, collecting
taxes, managing the public debt
and administering federal proper
ty and records
"It is apparent, theiefore, that
whether or not spending can be
kept anywhere near the estimated
federal income figure for next
year of $68.7 billion will depend
largely on what President Eisen
hower feels we need to spend for
our nation defense and security "

NO PINS WITH PLASTICS
No pins or pressing are allowed
when sewing with plastics. Miss I.
Byrd Johnson, clothing specialist
at VPT says to hold the pattern
on fabric with weights or paper
clips. Use paper clips to hold sec
tions together when stitching.
Mark construction lines with a
pencil or crayon.
Use a very shary fine sewing
machine needle. No. II suggested.
Set length of stitch to 7 per inch
and use mercerized cotton thread.
It should be less likely to shrink
and pucker, it is softer and will
not cut plastic.
If basting becomes necessary in
some areas, stay at least 1 8 inch
within the seam allowance. You
can hem and gather plastics with
sewing machine attachments. If
the plastic film becomes sticky,
dust with talcum. Some plastics
become brittle when cold. If this
happens, warm them before sew
ing Hang to remove wrinkles.

Important Bloodmohile \isit Set
For Ch arlotte County February 11
The Charlotte County Red
Cross chapter has asKcd prospec
tive blood donors to make ap
pointments now for the blood
mobile visit Februaiy 11 from
11 a. m.. to 5 p. m .. at the Keys
ville Community House.
Prior appointments enable the
chapter to arrange the schedule
so that no one has to wait or feel
rushed It is for the convenience
of the donors as well as for the
chapter determining how many
\oluntcer doctors, nurses, staff
and canteen workers will be
needed.
Vew Blood I'ses
New uses are being made of the
blood that is donated, it goes into
the making of Gamma Globulin
which is the part of human blood
which contains antibodies which
can be separated from the whole
blood and concentrated for injec
tion into patients suffering a
variety of disesase. Two of the
major disesases that it combats
are polio and measles.
The office of Defense Mobiliza
tion has asked the Red Cross to
assume the responsibility of pro
viding Gamma Globulin. It was
oue to the experience and success
of the Red Cross in collecting
ulood in the past that Red Cross
has been asked to do this.
More Donors Needed
Now more than evei donors are
needed. The summer months will
bring epidemics of polio. Failure
to donate blood may result in the
paralysis of a child for life. Send
a card to the Charlotte County
Red Cross Chapter saying that
you want to donate your blood on
February 11. the chapter asks.

Charting a Course
IJWIGHT DAVID EISENHOWER became
the 34th President of the United States
on Tuesday in exercises characterized by
simplicity and an air of implicit sincerity.
The frailty of human effort was recognized
and the strength of an omnipotent God was
sought. In fearless clarity and powerful
earnestness President Eisenhower affirmed
the principles of freedom in a world
fraught with international tensions.
For the first time in history millions of
Americans saw, by means of television, the
inauguration of a President. They saw a
man assume an obligation fully aware that
it entailed the greatest responsibility any
President has faced. Not only did he rec
ognize domestic problems of importance,
but more, the grave international situation.
His hearers were further impressed by his
humility and dignity. A serious determin
ation was plainly shown in his demeanor;
the magnetic smile was replaced with an
impressive expression of earnestness. His
audience responded with only two volleys
of spontaneous applause, the remainder of
the- time they were thoughtful in rapt at
tention. The occasion was impressive and
made one realize that the United States,
possibly the world, was embarking upon a
new course. A new leader had assumed mo
mentous responsibilities which he was to
share with his countrymen and bear with
the aid of Divine Providence. In no other
nation could a leadership be changed so
simply, yet with ultimate dignity, recogniz
ing the frailty of human ability and rely
ing earnestly upon divine guidance. It made
one realize that something more powerful .
than armed might and materialistic pro
gress has promoted the United States to a
place of leadership among nations.
President Eisenhower said in part:
“We are called as a people, to give tes
timony, in the sight of the world, to our
faith that the future shall belong to the
free.
“This faith is the abiding creed of our
fathers. It is our faith in the deathless dig
nity of man, governed by eternal moral and
natural laws . . .
“This faith rules our whole way of life.
It decrees that we, the people elect leaders
not to rule but to serve.
“It asserts that we have the right of
choice of our own work and to the reward
of our own toil. It inspires the initiative
that makes our productivity the wonder of
the world . . .
“The faith we hold belongs not to us
alone, but to the free of the world . . . we
are linked to all free peoples, not merely by
a noble idea, but by a simple need. No free
people can for long cling to any privilege
or enjoy any safety in economic solitude . . .
This basic law of interdependence, so mani
fest in the commerce of peace, applies with
thousand-fold intensity in the event of war.
“The strength of all free peoples lies
in unity, their danger in discord . . . we
face the threat—not with dread and con
fusion—but with confidence and conviction.
“We shall be guided by certain fixed
principles:
“We hold it to be the first task of states
manship to develop the strength that will
deter the forces of aggressmn and promote
the conditions of peace . . .
“It is the firm duty of each of our free
citizens ... to place the cause of his country
before the comfort and convenience of him
self . . .
“We shall never try to placate an ag
gressor by the false and wicked bargain
of trading honor for security. For in the
final choice a soldier's pack is not so heavy
as a prisoner’s chains.
“We shall never use our strength to try
to impress upon another people our own
cherished political and economic institu
tions . . .
“We shall strive to help them achieve
their own security and well being . . . shall
count upon them to assume their full and
just burdens of the common defense of free
dom.
“We shall strive to foster everywhere,
and to practice ourseives, policies that en
courage productivity and profitable trade.
“Within the framework of the United
Nations to help strengthen such special
bonds (of regional grouping) the world
over.
“We hold all continents and peoples in
equal regard and honor.
“We shall strive to make it (United
Nations) not merely an eioquent symbol
but an effective force.
"Whatever America hopes to bring to
pass in the world must first come to pass
in the heart of America . . .
“This is the work that awaits us all, to
be done with bravery, with clarity — and
prayer to almighty God."
Construction Industry
RANKING just behind the nation’s de
fense. as an industry, the construction
industry established a new peak volume
in 1052 of $42,000,000,000. And, despite pre
dictions to the contrary, many industry
officials - includin': Harold Berlin, vice
president of the Johns-Manville < orpora
tion—believe 1053 volume will exceed that
of 1052.
Berlin broke the 1052 total down into
the following segments: 1. $11,000,000,000
spent in private new residential expendi
tures. About 1,100,00 new homes were
started in the year. The dollar volume is
expected to be equal ed in 1053.
2. Private non-residential expenditures
were about $10,700,000,000. Berlin believes
this outlay may also be equaled in 1953.
3. Government construction of all kinds
totaled about $10,600,000,000. Berlin ex
pects this fiyurc to rise in 1953.
Modernization and repair construc
tion volume totaled about $10,000,000,000
last year and the prediction is that it will
increase in 1953.
If Mr. Berlin’s prediction is an accurate
one, the industry's peak volume of 1952 will
be surpassed in 1953 by a new record. This
would indicate another unusually jzood
business year in 1953.
Congressmen’s Salaries
/CONSIDERABLE discussion has been in
progress in Washington over the
salaries of congressmen. The dramatic
appearance, of vice-presidential candidate,
Richard M. Nixon, on television during the
recent campaign pin-pointed the difficulty
experienced bv public servants in main
taining a standard of living demanded in
the Nation's Capital without being unfair
to their families. It has narrowed itself
down to a point where a congressman must
be independent financially, or be obligated
to his friends, or sacrifice his ability in
private industry, in„order to serve the pub
lic. The condition is not healthy.
The present annual salary is $Ib.Oitn for
both senators and representatives plus al
low able office expenses. In certain in
stances congressmen have chiseled on ex
penses in order to make both ends meet. It
will take all of the salary and more to
maintain a home in Washington and one
hack in the home state, which means that
the man of ordinary means can not aspire
to the duty of public service.
We recognize the dangers of too high a
salary and its attraction for those less j
qualified, but we do believe public servants!
an* worthy of their hire and anything less
than c«>st is unfair to them and unwise for
the good ol the nation. We would not be!
averse to a modest inerease in the pay of
our representative! in the National Govern-;
meiit. I
The trouble with the world, as we have
heard it said, is the people in it.
What happens is not as important as
\shat the people* believe has happened.
Who’s the head of the house is often a
matter of argument.
Never lose your temper because some
bod v else cannot think clearly

Scripture: Matthew 8 14. 18
Devotional Heading: I Peter 2:19*25.
Two Hardest
Lesson for January 25. 1953
JHEN YOU see a polc-vaulter
sailing like a bird over the
high bar. it looks like the easiest
thing in the world. When von see
a watchmaker putting a hairspring
into place, or a good cook whipping
a eake together, it looks simple.
But the simple things are seldom
as easy as they look. So it is in the
Christian life. It can be made to
sound absolutely simple: but it
never is. And it never is easy,
either. Perhaps the two hardest
things sound the easiest Jesus
made it plain that without them
one cannot call oneself a true
Christian. One is humility and the
other is forgiveness. How easy they
sound! But try them. They will
test your spiritual musck
Can This Be Ki«ht?
There is another paradox about
these two indispensable qualities
of Christian living.
They are not only
much harder to
practice than they
sound, but they
sound worse than
they are. What is
the quality which
all Americans ad
vise, imitate and
practice with all
their might’ Isn't
it aggressiveness.
I)r. Foreman
me go-getting spirit Humility
Founds like the opposite of that,
and so we seldom hear it praised,
at Rotary luncheons, in political
speeches or in school textbooks
Even in church wo don't hear much
about it. Advising people to be
humble sounds like advising them
to aim for the bottom of the lad
der. not the top.
As for forgiveness, this too goes
against the natural grain. We can
forgive people for mistakes, we
ran forgive them with good grace
when they haven't hurt us par
ticularly But when other people
have actually done wrong, sera us
wrong, and done it to me or to
some one I love, how then can I
forgive them? Won't 1 be loweri "
myself to their level if I forgive?
Won't it be the same as saying that
what they did was quite right after
all? Shan't I be calling wrong,
right? Isn't forgiveness turning
light and wrong upside down?
* • •
Humble Like a Child
Lot us look into these matters a
moment. Take humility first.
Jesus' illustration of humility is
not some down-and-out lazy person
without dreams, desires or ambi
tions His model is the child. What
is the humility of a child? It is the
quality of teachableness. The child
is /iot set in his ways. He is trust
ful Even the liveliest child, even
the most stubborn, will believe
what he is told, and has a never
satisfied curiosity about every
thing You can t tell the college
sophomore much; he thinks he
knows enough as it is. But no child
thinks he knows everything. He is
not suspicious, cynical, sophisti
cated, superior. He can grow.
Call the roll of the world's truly
great men. they all have this qual
ity of childlikeness, whether a
greatly daring [>erson like Scott,
the explorer of the Antarctic, or a
greatly wise person like Abraham
Lincoln, or a greatly imaginative
person like John Bunyan. All forms
of greatness have in them the qual
ity of the childlike. And the special
humbleness that is essential for
Christians is not only this, but
humility before God. For the one
sin that keeps one farthest away
from God is the very opposite of
childlikeness, namely pride.
• . *
Seventy Times Seven
Consider that other quality, the
forgiving spirit. Does this realty
mean calling wrong, right’ We
should remember that forgiving i*
not the same thing as condoning.
You condone a wrong when you act
as if it were not a wrong at all,
really When God forgives us he
does i ot pretend that we have done
no wrong, and when we forgive
< thers we should not confuse wrong
with right. Condoning means ap
proving; forgiving does not. You
can condone without love; it takes
lov e to forgive.
But nowhere in the Bible is it
said that God forgives, or that we
arc expected to forgive, apart from
repentance The hard and unre
pentmg 'pint makes forgiveness
impossible. Forgiveness is not a
one-sided affair. It calls for hu
mility on both sides, for forgive
i css is a restoring of fellowship,
and that cannot be done in pride.
But is forgiveness a sign of wcak

Farmers Showing
Increased Interest
In Crop Drying
Virginia farmers continue i"
show increased interest in crop
drying installations
E T. S«mk. associate agricul
tural engineer at VPI, said 82 dry
ing systems were installed in
1952. for a total of about 850
systems In 83 Virginia counties.
Ten of the installations report
ed wege for drying two or more
crops. Swink says this trend will
probably increase as more farmers
learn more about the advantages
of drying corn and small grain.
Seventeen natural ,:r p-tAeun
and one portable drier were m
mailed for long hay. 13 natural
air systems and 11 portable driers
were installed for baled hay. Oth
ers included chopped hay. corn,
gram, and or combination in

natural ajr systems. 22 were por

By Ted Resting
A miracle has taken place in
Pennsylvania. A miracle with the
ponderous name of the Pennsy
vania Cooperative Farm-Game
Program. The miracle-worker is
the Pennsylvania Game Commis
sion which has succeeded in open
ing to public hunting almost one
million acres of land-that either
was posted or about to be posted.
Bill Wolf reports that the man
ner in which these million acres
were added to public hunting
grounds is pf natural interest in
this day of growing friction be
tween landowner and hunter. It
started in 1936, when the Com
mission went to the farmers and
said in effect:
If enough of you who own ad
joining acres throw it open to
public hunting, we will give you
something in return. We will set
up safety areas around all your
buildings; we will see that game
protectors are on hand during
hunting season; we will set apart
some of land as game refuges so
vour land will not be hunted out.
Tf there are gullies or other ero
sion on your farms, the Game
Commission wity supply seed or
slants that will bind the soil to
gether. and help plant them if
necessary. If you have contour
olowing problems, we will pro
vide specially-trained men to help
-ou and we ask cnly that the
trip planting be done to help
•he game as well as the land.
The Commission also said: If
you or ycur kids want to raise
-'heasants for us. we’ll supply the
’hicks and pay you for each bird
-aised and released at 12 week
of age. If your land needs restock
ng, you will get top consideration
■hen we stock Quail, pheasant
">r rabbits. We’ll do everything i
our power to make your acres
better farm land because then it
-ill be better game land. What
do you say?
The farmers said ‘'Yes’’ rathe
slowly at first. But the last fev
vears the program has been gotn
-ith a bang. The 1951-52 repor*
will show 3.000 farms with 10.000
farmers cooperating and mor
than a million acres open it
public hunting.
The Commission scon learne
that the thing farmers wante
most was protection of rights. lif
and property. Once he was as
sured of that, he was open t
other things like wildlife habita
improvement on his land. Fror
the beginning, the Commissior
has religiously seen to it that co
operating farmers get that pro
tection. at the same time subth
pointing out-that if it weren’t for
the hunters' license fees to pro
vide money to hire protectors the
farmer would have no safeguard
at all against vandals and poach
ers. Very few farmers ever with
draw from a project, best proof
that the plan is working
DESERTIONS
While the Army has had about
46,000 desertions from its ranks
by enlisted men since the start of
the Korean war, all except 11.000
have returned to duty or have
been picked up. The Air force re
ported 851 deserters unreturned
as of October 31; the Navy, 1.242,
as of the end of December, and
the Marine Corps, 697, for the
same date.

New Day Dawning
In Nematode Control
New chemicals and new equip
ment have ushered in a new era
m root-knot control in gardens.
S. B. Fenne. plant pathologist
at YPI. says root-knot, caused by
nematodes, is one ol the most
serious garden pests in eastern
Virginia and affects many vege
tables.
Use of simple equipment with a
jar-top applicator for applying
control chemicals by the row
method will reduce the cost of
treatment. For example, where
DD or 40 per cent ethylene di
oromide are available at about
$2.75 per gallon a 1 10-acre gar
den can be treated for about
$2 75. Gardeners should make
sure that their seed dealers have
materials available »n time to
fumigate their soils next spring,
Fenne says.
The book of Revelations in the
Bible is called the Apocalypse.

This man is reaching for eternity! Look,
f as he stretches his arms heavenward. He is
searching for the secret of the Divine which
can give his life direction at>d meaning on
earth and fulfillment in eternity.
So it has always been. Man has searched
for the Divine. He has made crude images
of wood and stone. He has fashioned from
his mind philosophies of life. He has wor
shipped his own reason and creations. But
in all his teachings he has never found
eternity.
Man reaches rather than receives. That
■ is his mistake. In his pride, he has looked
to his own mind and resources to carry
him to eternity. He has tried to climb to
heaven rather than accept the salvation
offered by his Christ who comes to him.
Like the children in Grimm’s fairy tale
who deserted their home and looked the
world over for a treasure that was
in their own backyard, mas con
i tinues to seek that which God has
| already given. V
We have only to receive the I
| Cross. There is God reaching for I
; man. There is God stretching his I 4
arms earthward offering man life I
I and eternity.

OIK hat s otl to the men who made the
1953 Buicks what they are —the greatest
Buicks in fifty great years.
They came up w ith a new kind of VS for the
SlTKK and the Koadmasthk — a brilliant
\ N Engine with a long list of engineering
“firsts.”
They redesigned the I'-263 Fireball K for
record horsepower and compression in the
spirited Hoick Sl’lClAl .
1 hey kept every inch of room in the
roomiest s i v - p a s s e n ge r Sedan in
America — and still shortened its turn
ing radius considerably.
I hey did new wonders with the won
derful Million Dollar Hide. They
stepped up visibility, comfort, han
dling ease, control.
And man! —what they did with
I getaway !
I hey dreamed up, designed and de
veloped a new Twin-Turbine 'Dynattovv
Drive* that whisks you away quick as a
wink — and just as smooth, almost as silent.
In Juct, no other ear in the world nets away with
all the combined quickness, quiet and smoothness
oj a Twin- Turbine Dynajiow Bniek.
Wouldn’t you like- to see for yourself just how
great these (Jolden Anniversary Kuicks j-eully
are.” Drop in .oon — we II be happy to do the
honors.

IN MEMORIAM
WOOTFN -In saci but loving re
membrance of my daughter and
our sister. Elsie LyK Wooten, who
passed away one yeai ago today,
January 21 1952.
A loving daughter, so dear, so
rare.
The suffering she bore so few
could bear:
She never complained, she wasn't
that kind:
She was one of those daughters
so hard to find.
Human hands toiled to save her.
Prayers and tears seemed all in
vain:
Happy angels rame and took her
From this weary wend of pain.
Before our eyes she taded.
Growing weaker day oy day.
Patiently bearing her suffering
Until God took her away.
Her heart was the truest in all
the world.
Her love the best to recall:
No one on earth can take her
place:
For she is still the deatest of all.

Electronics Speed Up
And Sweeten Up Butter
A Brorihend. Wis . dairyman who
put electronic:- to work to spc d
up his butter production has found
tiiat it also produces a : pread flint
tastes bi ller and fr. slier.
Roy Ri.bichaux of the Golden
rod creamery was primarily aim
ing at the elimination of ros'.'y
and timc-consuminft manual sam
pling and testing when he worked
out an idea for electronic controls
The n - i!t wa- a new process that
also makes churning more effi
cient and reduc' production costs
Key to the process is the con
tinuousness of production proce
dure. with the aridity < f cream I •

Hi shy flavors after storage' or
over - neutralization 'papery flav

system controls acidity within (' 2
per cent preventing improper

Initial tests of butter made
through this process have proved
it not only has a “fresh cream"
taste but has a storage Life o-f at
least 100 per cent lunger than but
ter churned under conventional
methods. In addition to improving
quality, the continuous flow opera
tion reduces production costs ami
has enabled Robichaux to increase
the output of his butter-making
equipment by some 50 per cent.
199.36 Bu. Per Acre \
Tops State Corn
Growing Contest
One hundred bushel corn club
certificates were issued to 217
farmers in Virginia m 1952, and
25 counties out of 44 ' starters"
completed the 100-bushel corn
program . . . despite widespread
drouths which severely cut the
state's total production.
This completes the iourth year
of the 100-bushel corn program
in Virginia, and the corn clubs are
still popular, says W W Lewis.
Extension Service agionomist at
VPI.
Leading the list was a Shenan
poah cohnty farmer. W. L Veh
; encamp, who produced 199.36
bushels per acre. Other top pro
ducers were: J. C. Griffin, Isle of
Wight. 174.37 bushels. F L. At
well. Smyth. 168 bushels: J V
Grant. Roanoke. 163.
Farmers who reached and or
exceeded 140 bushels tier acre
were: R. W. Perkins. Louisa J.
D. Wright. Isle of Wight. Thomas
Kegley, Alleghany: J. A. Wolfe.
Alleghany; Douglas Perkins.
Louisa; Bill Stickley. Shenan
doah: and Jack Persinger. Al
leghany.
The farmers had varying for
mulas for attaining the high corn
yields, but there were several
common factors, Lewis said. Gen
erally, thick planting, plenty of
fertilizer, and adapted hybrids
were credited.
