Church-College
Guidance (.enter
To Be Opened
Hampden-Svdney
To Assist With
Vocation Choices
Hnmpden-Sydney College and
church leaders of Wed Hanover
pi-ncK-terv have loined efforts to
provide a new service to youne
feople in this area- a counseling
and guidance center.
Dr. D. Maurice Allan, head of
the Psych logy department of the
college, will supervise the center
while the Presbytery through its
state Division of Christian Voca
tion will support the new service
The center to be located on the
college campus will make its serv
ices available to youths of other
denominations, according to ten
tative plans
Operated as a division of the
Presbyterian Assembly Depart
ment of Christian Education, the
center will provide counseling and
testing programs to help young
people find their rightful employ
ment sphere, and. as Dr. Allan
explained to a church audience in
Farmville Sunday, to help them
“make the best use of their God
given abilities where Christian
vocations are needed.”
The new center, ready now to
assist young people, will require
two visits. Dr. Allan explained.
One to allow time for a battery
of tests to be given, on such sub
jects as vocational interests, men
tal and physical aptitudes, mental
ability and related fields A sec
ond visit will provide for cousel
ine Interviews-based on test re
sults.
Original Requests
It i.s anticipated tiiat the service
will be used bv high school jun
iors and seniors, with original
impetus provided through pastors.
Sunday School teachers, parents
and the local church. Application
for the service will come from
these sources.
The service will be provided
without charge, except for the ex
pense pf traveling to and from
the college and for meals that
may be necessary during the two
one-dav visits.
Similar centers now are operat
ing at Lexington. Va.. and at Flora
MacDonald College, at Red
Springs. N. C. Both are Presby
terian Church sponsored, and
both make services available to
youths of ether churches.
Aims Of Service
Dr. Allan explained that the
new program has a two-fold pur
pose. First to eliminate unsound
reasons for vocational choices,
many of which lead to unhappy,
frustrated adult living.

WILSON TO MAKE
III'GE SACRIFICE
Charles E. Wilson agreed to
dispose of his 2 1-2 million dol
lars worth of General Motors
stock and President Elsenhower
formally appointed him to be
secretary of defense. Wilson's
decision cleared away much of
the opposition to him in the Sen
ate and there were predictions
that, barring some new compli
cation. he would be confirmed
swiftly.
For Wilson, the tahiu# on of the
tremendous job of tlciense secre
tary will mean a heavy financial
sacrifice. It has been estimated
that he will have to pay $500,000
to $600,000 in capital gains taxes
on selling his 2 1-2 million dollars'
worth of stock.
AGRICULTURE OEPT.
TO GET OVERHAULING
Secretary Ezra Taft Benson

cracy" by his Democratic prede
cessors.
In his first official act. the
GOP administrations farm chief
announced a regrouping of the
department's 20 agencies, and
said this was a preparatory step
toward greater operating efficien
cy. lie also served notice that he
will expect department employes
to give a "full days work for a
day s pay.

career as secretary of state with

to win a shooting war.”
In a letter addressed to the
16.500 employes at home and
overseas, he advised also that
changes were in the making in
which “the nationa lwclfarc must
be given priority over individual
concerns.”

There were, and are, many
old houses in the county, aban
doned because of oad roads or
because people have moved away.
Tin- one I found was large
enough but not too large. <The
house now is 40 feet long, 16
wide ' The size of rooms didn't
need to be changed so there was
no waste of timber. The timber
was sound heart pine. The in
terior heart or clear pine ceiling
was an inch thick, and there
was no sign of termites. Fortu
nately the interior had never
been painted.
Dismantles House
"I bought the house for $335.
A 70-year-old carpenter in the
neighborhood. John Taylor, who
built tlie house when he was a
young man. took it down for;
$700. His son hauled it to Buck- j
iigham for $32.
"Now I had tlie house but no i
cue to put it up again. (The local
■ ntnietor had told Miss Howard
it was not practical.' Another
carpenter in his 80s who was a
hne cabinet maker as well,
agreed to put it up if I didn't
blind lus being a little slow. (He
is now deceased.' Both workmen
were artists. The lirst marked
each timber carefully as he took
it down. Tlie second was as
careful as lie would have been

loom and hall downstairs, and
one large room and dressing room
upstairs, with the kitchen across

THE "CORONATION," a top item in
Spring millinery fashion, is mod

Mari Robinson. The creation of a

Queen Elizabeth I. The hat shown
here features jeweled embroidery

porch was from an old store . . .
$11. The picture window in the
living room is a companion to
the porch window, and was
bought for tlie same pi ice. The
old flooring was used as .sub
flooring in the living room and

"Sixty-five dollars for new
flooring, $:10 for stair and
balustrade and $(J for .slate, is all
that was spent for new material.

ed. The kitchen was painted and

I dressing room became the but ft -
' room ."
This old house lias served as a
demonstration for some L’OO peo
ple since its rebirth. Other resi
dents of Buckingham county
nave followed in Miss Howards
footsteps.
i Take for instance . . . Mrs.
i Margaret Lacy, tvhc bought .an
old two-story boxhouse for $400.
moved it. and put it back up
for a total cost of $5,000: Charles
Hall, who lias added new rooms,
removed and enclosed porches
I and put storage spare in a
bungalow-type cottage on ins
father's farm, and who now has
j an attractive house for half tlie
i price of a new one: and Dr. and
' Mrs. K J. Hutchins, who are now
in the process of remodeling a
In ;ck house which dates back to
pre-revolutionary days.
Remodeling Underway
The brick home ' Mrs. Hutchins
still has the original grant from
King George II for the land on
which it stands) has posed some
problems For instance the walls
are three bricks thick, so pipes
lor radiators had to be put back
of the floor-to-ceiling window
frames. But careful planning and
some extensive juggling is slow
ly transforming the old and
beautiful building into a modern
home with up-to-the minute
conveniences.
A lady with her job still ahead
of her is Miss Carrie Fitzgerald,
a teacher in the Buckingham
schools, who has just bought an
ancient frame house set back in
a wilderness of weeds. Most peo
ple might hot see beyond the dust
and litter and cobwebs. But the
sound well-seasoned, termite-free
lumber, the hand-carved window
frames the foot-wide clear pipe
planking, are all there. And you
won't find them elsewhere very
easily.
A veritable epidemic of housing
study groups Is rampant in Buck
ingham county home demonstra
tion clubs. The women are learn
ing to read house plans and to
visualize the completed house.
Home Planning
That this pre-knowledge pays
off when it comes time to build a
house is evident in the newly
completed brick home owned by
Mr, and Mrs. C. I. Poole. Mrs.
Poole drew her first floor plan,
took it to an architect and said
"this is what T would like, please
put some walls around it.” The
architect's comment was "that is
the way to plan a house but it is
the first time I've been asked to
draw it that way."
Whatever convenience, or aid
to happy living you can think of
. . . name it . . . . it's there in
the Poole home. There is a
down-stairs den with a' picture
window that looks out on a pic
ture ' rose-garden in the back'
instead of the street, a recreation
loom in the sound-proofed
basement with billiards, tele
vision. home movies: plenty of
storage space: easy passagways
to and from various parts of the
house: an "outdoor living room"
in the back yard.
Miss Howard points out that
"housing includes surroundings."
So landscaping is being studied,
to. along with house furnishings
, and accessories.

after a feeling -out-the-strange

one county during the history of
the State, according to Quinn.
Although the complete talley
of bear killed in the State has
not yet been reported to the Com
mission. Rockingham County is
running second with a kill of 43
bear.
Ion Goose Kill
The larcest Canada goose kill
in the past 15 years was reported
to the Virginia Commission of
Game and Inland Fisheries for
the waterfowl season which ended
• January 10 Waterfowl hunters
over the State generally concur
that more ducks and geese were
spotted this season than in many
previ us years However, the duek
kill was probably lower than last
season's, said Quinn.
Quinn attributed tiie poor sea
son on ducks to the many blue
bird days" which plagued the
hunters Irom November 17 to
January 10 Although the duck
population was greater than in
previous years, weather conditions
were so bad far hunting that rela
tively few birds were taken.

Hats In the Hin.u
'jpol’ 1IATS or Hontburgs, there are three
in the the ring for Democratic nomina
tion for governor of Virginia, and there are
more in prospect. Thomas B. Stanley, con
gressman representing the Fifth Virginia
district, started the ball rolling last Thurs
day when he announced his candidacy for
governor and his resignation as congress
man. effective February State Senator
( harlcs R. Fenwick followed close behind
making bis announc.ement Friday. \V. Rus
sell Hatchett. Virginia Beach real estate
and insurance executive, joined the pros
pective candidates bv announcing on Mon
day morning. The list is probably not yet
complete, unless Attorney General J. Lind
say Almond has changed his mind. He
promised early in January that he would
have an announcement shortly. There will
be more probably—the more the merrier.
Those who love politics and political ac
tivities are assured a hot time come July
when the Democratic primary will he held.
So far no anti- Truman Democrat has come
forward, or any pro-Truman Democrat.
Congressman Stanley ostensibly voted for
Stevenson, but did not support the Demo
cratic National Ticket with any enthusi
asm. Senator Fenwick supported the ticket
and did some work for it with a degree of
enthusiasm. Both arc identified with the
dominant Democratic organization in Vir
ginia and both have a record of long serv
ice in governmental affairs in Virginia. If
Mr. Almoin! does not announce the Demo
crat- may be called upon to choose between
these two stalwarts of the dominant wing.
Mr. Hatchett has been active in local poli
tic.- in Kastern Virginia, an opponent of the
organization, running unsuccessfully on the
"Peoples Ticket" in 1951 for the state sen
ate. ^
There is some speculation that State
Delegate Robert Whitehead, of Amherst,
would be a candidate representing the anti
organization wing of the Virginia Demo
cratic party. The campaign would take on
increased interest if Mr. Whitehead does
decide to toss his top hat into the ring. He
is a severe critic of the organization, and
has performed a distinct service to Virginia
through his opposition in the Virginia Leg
islature. Contrary points of view are valu
able in politics as in every other human en
deavor. The opposition performs valuable
service everywhere, so long as they can
document their position with facts and con
sidered opinions. Mr. Whitehead might be
considered more independent than anti, as
he can present a contrary opinion with
claHty. sincerity and forcefulness.
The citizens of Virginia are fortunate
in having outstanding candidates who will
seek public ottice. Criticism may be made
of the Virginia Democratic Organization in
minor matters, but it must be admitted that
the organization has always been able to se
cure the highest type of citizen to seek
public offices. Not only are Virginians in
public life recognized statewide for their
ability, integrity and sincerity, but in the
national counsel of the party and high
government service.
It augurs well for the future of Virginia
that the highest type of Virginia citizen
still seeks to serve the state. It will be dif
ficult to choose between the candidates come
•fitly, and a spirited campaign call be pre
dicted.
Needs New Viewpoint
^ SUGGESTION we would make to the
expanding television industry, which
will soon be reaching into every corner of
the United States, is that the industry
stress Americanism, and (he story of this
country more frequently in its dramatic
presentations. The diet of psychological
melodramas and murders has almost be
come monotonous on the TV screen.
Of course, the experts say that the
listening and viewing public talks to “soap
opera'" and that they are an excellent ad
vertising medium for major sponsors. Evi
dently. this has proved correct since any
radio listener knows that wholesale pre
sentations of radio soap-operas have been
standard programming for years.
However, -dm-e TV is expected to be
more of any educational medium than ra
dio and since it is expected to attract the
attention of youngsters to a greater degree
we suggest that the patriotic theme, tin
story of the growth of our country. Ik
stressed in more of the plays staged foi
television audiences.
Since television plays tend to be pro
duced in the larger cities, just as plays
which are staged in the city theaters, this
difference is sometimes not appreciated.
The average American, who resides in the
smaller towns or in the country, is a pretty
normal animal, who enjoys a healthy atti
tude and philosophy. He will appreciate
more TV shows dedicated to the country’s
growth, strength and hitsory, and fewer
psychological problem dramas.
Two Front Cold War
nCLY a few day- after it had been an
nounced that the new Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles, would visit India this
spring, as well as other Asian countries
the news leaked out that he was departing
almost immediately for Europe. The pur
pose of his Asian trip was generally report
mi to bo an effort to see how far Asian
countries, such as India, are now ready t<
go in joining an anti-Communist front.
The Administration of General Dwight
I). Eisenhower is in favor of an Asian anti
Communist bloc, such as the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization in Europe and the
Middle East. Hut before tin- new Secret an
of State' could get to work on t 1ms. the
alarming reports from Europe, particular^
France and Germany, took the play awa\
from Asia.
It is thought that the new President is
alarmed over the reluctance of the French
and the Germans to pet topether on a Euro
pean Army plan and he wants his Secre
tary of State and Harold Stassen—the new
Mutual Security Director — to pet a first
hand impression of the real situation in
Western Europe today, and an idea of what
can he expected.
Thus, the Eisenhower Administration
hardly pets off to a smooth start in the
international field, since the NATO or
ganization seems to be stumbling and the
fighting in the Far East continues in several
theaters.
Mr. Eisenhower, however, is taking posi
tive steps and moving as fast as he can
to remedy the defects in F. S. and Allied
policy in both areas. The results of this
action cannot be accurately judged for at
least several months.
Supply And Demand
□HE Department of Agriculture recently
announced expectations that the aver
age American would eat about 142 pounds
of meat in 195:1. This estimate is about
three pounds below the average consump
tion of 1952 and the Department explains
that while meat supplies this year are
about equal to those in 1952, an increase in
population will make the supply per indi
vidual less.
The Department reported a fifteen per
cent jump in beef supplies, which might
tend to depress beef prices somewhat in
coming months. It also reported a drop in
pork supplies, which is expected to offset
the increase supply of beef.
The most interesting part of the De
partment report was that which dealt with
the housewife’s share of the blame for high
meat prices, which have prevailed despite
declines in live cattle prices. The Depart
ment partially backed industry charges that
the average housewife bought more expen
sive cuts of meat than in former years, thus
helping to hold prices up.
In spite of this trend, a further “soften
ing" in retail beef prices was predicted in
the coming months.
Life's Hours
Hours are links in the chain of time
Hike colored beads on endless thread.
From the unknown they come, and pass
Into the kingdom of the dead.
They are not of the same design.
And vary in their shape and hue,
And those that are the fairest come
In our youth when our world is new.
Some are red like a damask rose,
Some match the azure sky above;
But those that pass to ne’er return,
Are born of true and mutual love.
The drab and gloomy linger on
To bring ns gloom till they are done.
While those of beauty speed away
Before they seem to have begun.
Some quickly pass, and are forgot
While others stay in memory
Forever, like a gleaming light,
'Fill time becomes eternity.
L. 1). Whitaker
Babson Discusses
1953 Dilemmas
Washington. D. C.—Another
inauguartion is over. Dwight Eis
enhower is now President of the
world’s most powerful nation. He
is a man of sterling character,
tremendous energy and marvelous
contacts. So far as it is possible
in a Democracy, he will be a great
President. But ’ Democracy" is a
! synonym for "Dilemma ". Hence,
before rushing to expand plants
or buy stocks, it is well to con
sider at least five Dilemmas
which we must face in 1953.
KOREA—DILEMMA No. 1
The American people want
their sons back from Korea, and.
at the same time, don't want Ko
rea lo fall into Communist hands.
This is a Dilemma with which Mr.
Truman and his military aids
i have honestly struggled. The
promise of Ike to visit Korea and
try to accomplish the impossible
was a great factor in electing
him. Will people turn against him
when he reports that 1953 will see
no solution to this Dilemma, not
withstanding his hopefulness?
COMMI'NISM—DILEMMA No. 2
The new President this week
reiterated his determination to
stop Russia’s spread of Commun
ism But he knows that Commun
ism is not confined to Russia, tt
is the name for a world revolu
tionary movement of billions of
unhappy people. Russia has seized
and capitilaized this great social
tidal wave: while the United Sta
tes has taken the side of the con
servative owners of property and
tried to check it. Eisenhower must
be sympathetic with these down
trodden races, but he knows also
it lie changes our present policy
lie would be cursed as sympathe
tic to Communism. This is Dilem
ma No. 2 which he must face in
1 9.V3
FOREIGN IMPORTS—
DII.EMMA No. 3
Voters are demanding a reduc
tion m our aid to Europe and
| Japan Our new President knows
i that this can be done only by
lowering tariffs and admitting
i more foreign goods into our mar
! kets. But he also knows that such
a program would make the U. S.
! business interests w ho elected
i him very angry. Such a move
might also cause unemployment
here at home, which would be
' welcomed by the Democrats.
! Hence, this third Dilemma. Com
: petition during 1953 w ill be
! severe, even among U. S. manu
1 facturers. without being handi
capped by greater imports.
BALANCING THE BUDGET—
DILEMMA No. 4
Our new President will operate
a more honest and economical
Federal Government. There will
be less money spent by all depart
ments. including the the military.
More eflicient operations may be
expected. But this deflationary
: program may cause unemploy
ment and lower profits. As most
Federal income is derived from
taxing profits, this would mean
lower tax receipts. This is a
Dilemma which Eisenhower must
!face in 1953.
REDUCING TAXES—
DILEMMA No. 5
The Excess-Profits Tax will end
, during 1953. The Capital-Gains
Tax could be much reduced, and
| investors would benefit from the
■ reduction. It exists only as a
, political sop to radical labor. Per
| haps a token reduction of 5 per
j cent in income taxes and 50 per
I cent in certain excise taxes will
j be granted in 1953. But if we
1 have declining profits and divi
dends. as a result of Eisenhower
i fulfilling all his other promises,
can he reduce taxes much more
m 19539 Never before has any
j new President inherited such ab
: normally high taxes, upon the
; Government's spending of which
cur prosperity is largely depen
dent. Hence, this is Dilemma
; No. 5.
NEEDED—A SPIRITUAL
AWAKENING
; I am thankful that Dwight D.
Eisenhower is now President of
i our country. Unless World War
! Ill comes( and if it comes Eisen
hower would be needed more than
even. Inflation can be curbed.
Hence, we have Confidence. This
i is a great step forward. But the
American people — except in
emergencies—are basically busi
ness and employment minded.
Our marvelous growth has been
due largely to this lact. We do;
not like to sacrifice. Eisenhower j

1JEING of a sensitive and re

made unhappy by the attention she
attracted because of her affliction.
If being left-handed can be called
an affliction.
Not until she had graduated from
high school and entered Brown

become aware of her eonsplcuous
ness. In Buttersfield. her home
town, folks were used to her: in
Browning's it was different. Her

For after a while her girl friends
got used to the queer manner with
which she did things, and forgot to
mention them. Only when some

classmates' men friends, for es»
ample, would she be noticed.
She missed most of the fun of col
lege. If she yearned for male com
panionship, yearned to be taken to
dances and parties, no one ever
guessed it—until Bill Smith came
along.
The party wasn't prearranged.
Duncan Hartley had dated Agnes
Hutchins. At the last minute he
called and said a friend of his was
up from the South, and could Agnes
get another girl'.’ Agnes could and
promised. But when she tried she
discovered that every one in the
dorm was busy that night. Sha

too!
it was as if iron bonds that had
held Dorothy in restraint f< r years
had suddenly fallen away. She blos

in fact, it did go beyohd the
bonds of friendship, for that June,
after a spring of ray and tiirilling

Method Found to Salt
Peanuts In Shell
A new method of salting pea
nuts in the shell has been devel
oped by the Georgia Agricultural
Experiment Station where scien
tists have long been working on
new and better uses for this im
portant crop of the South. The
research which led to the new
salting method was undertaken in
response to many requests lor a
satisfactory way to salt unshed
ed peanuts for later roasting.
Many people would like to find
peanuts salted as well us roasted
when they crack Hit* shells, con
sumer preference tests at the
Georgia Station indicated.
The new Georgia method is
adapted either to home or com
mercial use. The first step is
soaking the unshelled peanuts
in a warm solution of sodium
tetraphosphate, an edible chemi
cal compound which helps make
the shells soft enough so brine
can penetrate them easily and
evenly. After soaking 15 minutes,
the peanuts are submerged m
brine for about 2 hours with fre
quent stirring, or processors may
submerge them in brine with
vacuum treatment. Then the pea
nuts are rinsed and dried. They
may be roasted at once, or pro
cessors may keep them for later
roasting in a moist atmosphere
at a temperature of 52 to 28 de
grees F.
A survey showed that a large
majority of consumers prefer the
roasted salted peanuts in the
shell to the usual piain roasted
peanuts.

Union Jack Is Flown
For Barmaid at Hotel
LONDON—A number of people
telephoned a hotel here to ask
what was the occasion for flying
the Union Jack in front of the
building.
The manager admitted the flag
was flying to commemorate a spe
cial occasion—of sorts. A certain
barmaid who was always late hap
pened to arrive at work that par
ticular day a feu minutes early.
The manager turned to the handy
man and said. ' 7'his is a special
occasion. Run up the Union Jack"
The handyman took him at his
Word.
Scraps From Sea
Feed Steel Plants
LONDON—All over the world,
the sea is yielding harvests of
steel.
Hungry furnaces use millions
of tons of scrap metal each
year Roughly half of each ton
of new steel is born of scrap.
Since World War II, a signifi
cant percentage of this scrap
has come from ships—ships
sunk by battle or storm, or
worn out by long service and
junked.
At dockside ' boneyards,'’
shipbreakers raze obsolete mer
chantmen. liners, and war
ships. Hut the real bounty
comes from Davy Jones' locker.
In derelict-littered harbors and
along coastal sea lanes prowled
by submarines a decade ago,
marine salvage today is big,
risky, and lucrative business.
Lured by high scrap prices,
and armed with underwater cut
ting lurches and war-learned
demofition techniques, salvage
masters tackle torpedoed ships
at depths where once they
would have remained forever in
limbo.
Lloyd's of London lists nearly
000 ships lying at salvable
depths in the Atlantic alone The
war loss section of a recent in
ternational directory of mer
chant ships carries the names
of .3,940 sunken vessels, and this
list does not include German
and Japanese losses.

Tea Drinking Taste
Changed Since War
NKW YORK The taste of the

At the outset of Wor! i War
II. says Mrs. O'Brien. Ameri
cans consumed a considerable
amount of green teas, but were
deprived of them due to war
time shortages. Now that Jap

oolongs arc again available,
there is little demand for them
in the market. It .-rems as if

Surprise Ending!
That raffle for our Volunteer
I ire Department went over fine.
We're going to haw money to get
a new engine—and then some.
Our local merchants really
donated some wonderful prizes
Like1 Buzz KU:s. the ra<lio-TY
elealer, giving th.at hig television
set . . . and the Superior Motors
putting up a brand-new car.
There was a humorous note-,
tqo. The prize of a year's supply
of coal — donates! by Baker Coal
’l ard - wet's won by Mrs. Thayer,
whose husband is the biggest fuel
oil dealer in the county 1 What did
Mrs. Thayer do with the coal?
Stir gave it to a church sire's not
even a member of. (Her t'hurch
uses her husband’s fuel oil.)
From where 1 sit. that’s real
generosity. Hut then, Mrs. Thayer
never did believe in dividing
people into groups. She’s “for"
everybody — whatever church
they go to. whether they like T\
or radio, people w ho enjoy tem
perate beer, people who don’t. A
really warm-hearted person.
