lotte county art a qualified for
nearly $291,000 in Social Securi

The information is contained in
a summary prepared for The
Herald by William B Wiley, Social
Security field representative who
serves tIris area. Mr Wiley's head
quarters is in the Lynchburg So

Mr. Wiley's summary discloses
the following payments by divi
sion of Social Security eligibility:
Payment Breakdown
Payments to retired, workers
$123,300: payments to widows over
65. $31,700: payments to wives
over 65. $29,800. apt! payments to
young widows with children. $100 -
700.
Mr. Wiley emphasized that the
figures are approximate, since
there is constant fluctuation in
total amounts because of deaths
among insured and because wid
ows receiving benefits often re
marry.
Figures for other counties m

bers mtioluci ;l. Thursda' night,
a resolution calling for tm Hate
J I’rce organratmn to divorce it
self from p litical matter;; and
from the p< 11 tax issue, in parti
cular. The re lOluhon was present
ed fcv V F Watkins. Jr . at a
regional meeting in the Virginian
Hi tel. Lynchburg
While the proposal w.i- unoffi
cial and didn't come to a vote it
touch'd off a lively discussion
among Jayeees as to whether ad
v eating abolishment of the poll
tax was a partisan Question or
whether it involved better gov
ernment ' State Vice President
Ed lane, of Richmond who pre
sided at the meeting, ruled the
proposal could not come to a vote
because it was not on the agenda
for the parley
The Javcee state board f di
rectors twice has unanimously
passed rcs-lutions advocating
throwing out the poll tax and has
requested chapters throughout
Virginia to state their opinions by ;
a referendum vote
Mr Lane said 24 chanters had
>■<■“11 rolled thus far and the vote
was running two t > one in favor
of the board's resolution. Accord
ing to Jaycee by-laws, approval of
only one-third of the 54 existing
chapters is needed to carry the
proposal Endorsement in the in
dividual chapters involves only a
maj i ity vote
The Karmvlllc delegation said
tlie Junior Chamber of Commerce
was set ui) as a non-partisan or
ganization. Stated in effect that
by mvoh hr J.tveec m tlie poll tax
■ sue r was violating one of its
principles
The Farmville resolution was
drawn up by Mr. Watkins, J B.
Wall. Jr . and J. B C’iark. who
attended the Lynchburg meeting,
also.
Other Farmville Jaycees at
tending the meeting were V V
Gordon. S. II. Ferguson. Jr W B
Chapman. O. W McIntosh. M. G
Smith. Jr. H C. Kay ton. Jr F
M Pallet. W. A. Watson, III. and
W H Hubbard
About 50 members from Lynch
burg. Bedford. Farmville. Rich
mond. Altavista. Roanoke, and
( hesterfield attended the meet
ing.
once with the Slate Commission
last Monday, in Richmond.
Total Cost Determines
In the voting which followed,
the Commission stood by its
original decision for the increases.
The decision was based on both
salaries and the total expense of
operating each oflice. The two
combined were found to be closely
in keeping with the money outlay
scale of other counties in the
Prince Edward area, some of
which have lower salaries, but
higher deputy pay rates.
Ttie decision provides increases
of $300 for the county treasurer
and commissioner of revenue,
raising their salaries to $4,800.
Also an increase of $b00 for the
Commonwealth's Attorney, bring
ing his salary to $3,600.
State-County Rates
Under present state-county fi
nancial arrangements, the salary
of the Commonwealths Attorney
is paid half by tiie Common
wealth, half by tiie county. The
treasurer and commissioner are
paid two-thirds by the county
and one-thhd by the state.
Members of tiie boaid of super
visors have expressed the opinion
that a revision is needed in the
state-county pay rates, since so
much of the officers' time is de
voted to state business.

Foresters Report
Over 325,000 Trees
Planted In District
«
Landowners Urged
To Order Seedlings
From Local Office
More than 525.000 seedlings
have been planted so far this year
in the 10-county area of Farm
ville District of the Virginia For
est Service This figure has been
released by R. P. Brierley. dis
trict forester, and W. M. Carter,
forester.
However, this year's seedling
planting season will end soon
after March, and 525.000 seedlings
represent about one-half of the
tentative orita of 955.000 that the
Virginia Forest Service has set
up for this district.
Seedling orders for this district
will be accepted now Interested
farmers and other citizens who
want to put their idle land into
production with forests should
send their orders to R. P Brier
ley District Forester. Box 386.
Farimille.
Forestry Help
Up n request, a Virginia Forest
Service representative will exam
ine a proposed planting site and
recommend species of trees which
shruld be planted. Mr. Brierley
said. A forester'will also aid the
owner in planting practices and
techniques which will assure best
results.
Seedlings are inexpensive to
landowners because they arc
grown and sold by the Virginia
Forest Service for the purpose of
reforestation. F’or example, prices
per 1000 F. O. B nursery are
Loblollv Pine. Virginia Pine
and Black Locust. $4; and Red
Pine. White Pine. Yellow Poplar.
Black Walnut, and Red Cedar.
$6. A 50 cents charge for delivery
made to the nearest Railway Ex
press Office, or central point in
county, will be made.
"The Virginia Forest Service
urges each landowner to take
careful stock of all acres owned
and submit an rider as soon as
possible for the number of trees
required to make idle acres profit
able. Remember, a seedling plant
ed today will be the timber of to
morrow,’ 'Mr. Carter said
Idle Acres
Is each acre on the farm pro
ductive. Mr. Brierley asks farm
ers in tins area. Farm manage
ment investigations show that on
almost every farm a portion of the
area is carried at a loss and a
large percentage of. farms are un
profitable. In many cases, it has
been noted that an operator act
ually paid some thing for the
privilege of working, he pointed
out.
According to Mr. Carter, un
complimentary things are said
abaut an unprofitable dairy cow.
tw-> ^oaMer supported from the
profits of the remainder of the
' o-rH but on many farms the un
profitable cow is not the only
hoarder. Low yielding acres, like
boarder cows, are fatal to success
ful farming.
Unprofitable acres can not al
ways be disposed of as readily
as boarder cows, but they can be
improved until they become pro
fitable. Often it is not profitable
to cultivate such land in an agri
cultural crop, but there is another
type of crop which will assure
a profit. This crop is trees. Too
often farmers are inclined to
take the timber cr^n for granted,
but its place is high when one
considers the necessity, price, and
demand for it.
End Of Season
"Now is the time for landown
ers to take stock of each acre and
determine if it is producing its
maximum amount of profit." Mr.
Carter said. "The forest tree

Hampden-S.vdney College gym.
Tiie teams entered the fray
with deadlocked, perfect district

he Wolverines broke the stalmate

reat fourth period rally and
possession" basketball.
It was either team's game as
he final period started with F’HS
loldmg a shaky 38-34 lead. Then

T'hernton's speed and Billy FTank

lie Statesmen could get a point,
he Wolverines had run the count

For three quarters it was a

\ ith both teams playing delibe
rate of basketball. Barry Va^sar's
apable outside set shots and Edd
Early's key-hole scoring kept R-H

Shelton and Ernie Newman,

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 195?,
The Ides of March
/'IRD yourself for the next six weeks of
* bad weather. The Ground Hop. weather
prophet of lonp standinp, saw his shadow
Monday and immediately dived back into
his hole for six weeks more of hibernation.
If you believe, as we do, in the accuracy of
this prophet of old you mipht as well put
in an extra supply of fuel, drajr out the
boots and poloshes, chink op the cracks, in
preparation for snow and cold weather. If
the weather follows the accepted pattern
sprinp will come early this year as Easter
will be celebrated on April f>, an early date
tor this occasion. So, we predict winter
weather until March 15, with sprinplike
weather followinp closely behind.
Aeeordinp to lepend, winter’s cold and
snow are needed for the best interests of
man and vegetation. The older generations
believed that freezes were necessary to kill
the insects, the bugs, and the germs, and
snow was needed to replenish the soil mois
ture and raise the water level, to say noth
ing of setting the wheat and small grain.
If a good cold spell will destroy the "flu
hug" which has attacked the general public
during the past several weeks, we would
welcome it despite the discomfort it brings.
Not a home, nor a business has escaped the
ravages of the “flu" and some businesses
have been considerably handicapped be
cause of the disease.
Get set for cold weather and hope for
better health during the coming six weeks.
Spring will be welcomed heartily.
Keep Forest In Sight
Il'ST like that proverbial had penny, ideas
" for beautifying Prince Edward county
turn up. And with so many organizations
and groups advancing these plans, ranging
from parks to monuments, citizens might
lose sight of the forests because of the trees,
which is just the very topic that we want
to talk about.
Many beautification plans call for
money, a lot of it, and many of these plans
have no further value than to beautify a
county temporarily. But it seems to us that
if a plan were found to beautify perman
ently and to serve man, that this is the plan
that we would want to advocate.
In our search for beauty, most of us
notice and appreciate trees. We observe
how beautiful they are and how much they
add to roads, homes and farms. And what
greater monument could a generation have
than green forests that add beauty, provide
recreation, and speak of future uses. In
these uses we might list employment,
homes, furniture, paper, industries, and
all of the thousands of uses that man has
made of timber.
Virginia Forest Service offers an inex
pensive way to beauty in this county and all
of the other counties of Virginia. The seed
ling program of the service is maintained
to encourage landowners to practice re
forestation. Nurseries at Charlottesville
and Providence Forge are busy growing
seedlings that will be sold to landowners
at reasonable prices, and forestry offices
throughout the state hire trained foresters
to help landowners put their unprofitable
acres into profitable and beautifying
forests. **
In,our search for a more beautiful and,
attractive county, let's not overlook this
service, right at our very door step. And
how many ideas for beautification can come
close to the green trees of spring, stately ►
and refreshing trees of summer, colorful
trees of fall, and promising trees of winter'.’
We hope that community groups, farm
ers, and other landowners, will use the Vir
ginia Forest Service in order that we may
have more forests in this area. Anyone may
receive these services by contacting the'
Farmville office of Virginia Forest Service,
Box 386, Farmville.
Peak of the seedling planting season is
with u< now. We shall pass that peak about i
.March 1. Now is tin* time to plant those
seedlings in the moist Virginia earth of
Winter. Now is the time to open doors to
a more beautiful, profitable county, a goal
that all citizens should join in to accom
plish.
i
We Wonder
/OFFICIALS in Washington were rather
dumbfounded when former President
Harry Truman announced shortly after
leaving office that he did not believe the
Soviet Union had a workable atomic bomb.
Several members of Atomic Energy Com
mission called the statement an unfortun
ate one and other otiicials disagreed flatly
with the ex-president, saying that there was
indisputable evidence to the contrary.
Former President Truman did not say
the Russians had not produced atomic ex
plosions. He said he did not believe they
had a workable atomic bomb. This is still a
somewhat surprising statement, in view of
the fact that he, himself, announced to
newsmen some years ago that an atomic
explosion had been set off in Russia. Mr.
Truman, when besieged by reporters for
simplification on his statement said he
stuck by that statement and refused to com
ment further. Ry the time you read this, i
he might have issued a further explanation
although it has not been forthcoming as*
this is written.
One must only assume, from the Tru- j
man statement, that the former President
feels that there has been no positive evi
dence produced which showed that the Rus
sians had a stockpile of workable atomic
bombs. The most surprising angle of all
is the fact that the former President,
who had access to all secret information.!
found no proof that the Russians actually
had atomic bombs ready for use. This is cer
tainly contrary to the belief which has pre
vailed among millions of Americans ful
some time. It would be exceedingly good ;

Taft’s Amendments
^ EX A TO It ROBERT TAFT introduced
^ sixteen amendments to the Taft-Hartley
Act on the same day he held his first regu
lar White House conference with President
Dwight Eisenhower as leader of the Re
publicans in the Senate. Two of Senator
Taft’s bills met criticism voiced by General
Eisenhower last year during his campaign
for the Presidency.
The timing of Taft’s action made it
clear that Senator Taft had prepared the
amendments before his visit to the White
House and since he introduced them only
a few hours after that call, he made his
plans before his conference with the Presi
dent. Many of the bills introduced had been
introduced by the Ohio Senator in past
years, some having been passed by one
house but held up by the other.
Thus, Taft admits, once again, that the
Taft-Hartlev labor law needs amendment,
though he is steadfast in his belief that j
repeal of the law is unnecessary and un-I
desirable. He made it clear, the day he in
troduced his sixteen amendments, that they
were not the Administration’s amendments,
but his own.
Since Taft is the Majority Leader in the1
Senate, he is in a good position to see that
his own proposed amendments are consid- j
ered. President Eisenhower is in the posi~ j
tion of having criticized a law which was j
authored by his Majority Leader and hav-|
ing to depend upon his Majority Leader to
amend it. It seems obvious that the Majori-j
tv Leader’s views on the needed amend
ments will have to be taken rather seriously,!
and perhaps, just taken.

There is a time to play, as well as a
time to pray, but some people never try
either.
The experts, it seems, are wrong as
often as they are right, hut this is anlv “it
seems.”
Our Bird
Dedicated to that lover of birds.
Miss Birdie Mae Baugh
Our Virginia cardinal’s lovely.
Dressed in feathers \i\id led.
A band of black beneath his chin,
A top knot on his head.
He sings for us in summer time
When weather’s warm and fair;
And he still stays. t<> be with us
When winter’s trees are hare.
From tops of trees In* sings to us
Sweet songs of adoration;
And for him I always have
Respect and admiration.
lie has a wife who suits him well.
'Cause she’s a singer too;
Ami he is proud of how she sings.
For bird wives seldom do.
When the cardinal is courting.
And whistles loud and clear.
His little mate sings songs of love
For her sweeheart to hear.
I love this bird a lot localise
His visit seldom ends;
He does not leave for warmer climes
Like his fair-weather friends.
No other bird Virginia has.
Do 1 more highly rate;
And 1 am glad that he’s the bird
Selected by our state.

Florida boom, differing m '‘size", i
has come every generation. They
say that those who lost money in
the last Florida boom will not get i
caught again; but younger ones,
who are now around forty, were
then too young to Know what
happened m the last boom This
\oun-ter generation, however, is
now getting ready to try its luck
.ii investing in Florida.
Already middle - aged people
from 11 it- North Are asking me
what to buy. My first answer is to j
auv tor cash only- not on mort
i gage and to use the same com
i moil sense as they would use
when buying land in their own
home state. Second—buy some
thing which they could use them
selves or rent in case they cannot
sell it. Third buy something
which thev have first seen: then
wait until they get back North
again before making the actual
; purchase: that is. take time to
tlunk tilings over.
With the exception of the
Pacific Coast and tin* Southwest,
very few states can equal Florida
for a winter climate There is also
a posisbility of discovering oil in
any part of Florida this possi-,
bility, however, applies also to
many other States. Therefore, in
view of this comparable closeness
to the big industrial centers of
New Kngland. New Yoik. Pennsyl
vania. Ohio. Illinois and certain
other States. Florida is especially
well located for those retiring on
pensions. Furthermoie, the good
mads low living costs and tax ad
vantages make Florida attractive.
Hence. I believe there will be
much activity here in the building
of small homes.
This however, does not mean
that small homes in Florida or
i sew here are a good ' specula
tion As to agricultural land. I
am not an expert judge, but I
believe that every Scale has its
advantages and disadvantages for
farming.
N H \T 1 NOl I I) Ul Y
My first purchase would be a
small home in an average, grow
ing community. wuh#as much
land as I could afford. My build
ing would depreciate Item the
nay I bought it: out the land
should appreciate Such a home
should lengthen my life, be a
good hedge against inflation, and
lie easy to sell. The demands for
such well-located, small homes
should increase. It. however,
should be within a mile of a gro
cery store, church and post office,
and in a good neighborhood.
But he: i is a suggestion. Florida
is growing fast. When motoring
about, if you see vacant land ad
joinin;: a chain store, or factory,
or filling station, or even a
church, which land can be bought

sometime for parking or for a

to this future demand for parking

to the old-timers of every State in
