Tuesday's Organ Harvest
Satisfies Musical Hungers
Powerful and soul - stirring
music was played on the four
manual organ in Jarman Hall.
Tuesday night, by Virgil Fox. re
crrding artist and organist of
Riverside Church. New York City.
A near-capacity crowd of students
and citizens agreed about the
only thing Mr. Fox didn’t bring
to Farmville was t.he reverent and
meditative s litude of a great
church for his concert.
Gleaning a varied field of
music from the pens of Handel,
Bach. Corelli. Brahms, Bossi,
Sowerby. Reger, and Beethoven.
Mr. F x made two substitutions
m his program. He played Bach's
Prelude and Fugue in D Major
and Mendelssohn's Sonata in F
Min r for Organ in place of list
ed selections.
Mr. Fox. who is one of the out
standing United States concert
organists, played his recital as the
fourth program in the 1952-52
Artists Series of Ltmgwood Col
lege. He gave another ccncert in
Farmville. Oct. 20. 1951. when the
organ, given to the college by
Long wood Alumnae Association,
was dedicated
Mr. Fox's ability, feeling, and
dexterity are married only slight
ly by his showmanship, which is
not altogether a stumbling block,
but ii. also, endears him to his
audience. Time after time, Tues
day night's audience was capti- !
vated by t ie range, quality, and
combinations of tones and har
monies that Mr Fox harvested
from the $25,000 organ, one of
the most complete organs in Vir
ginia.
Federal Taxpayers
Slow With Filing
Farmville Office
Ready to Help
Federal income tax returns are
coming in slowly at the Farm
ville office of tiie Collector of In
ternal Revenue in the basement
of Farmville Post Office. H S
Whitaker, internal revenue agent,
said.
March 15th deadline is 37 daws
off.
Information received from the
Richmond office reports the same
story.
"To date our office lias issued
only 20.000 refunds against 43.
000 issued on the same date of
last vear." Stuart L. Crenshaw,
assistant director, of Richmond,
reported last week. "This is due
mainly to the fact that refund
able returns have not been re
ceived m tiie office to date."
Mr. Cren haw remained people
of this a lea through the Farm
ville office that the Richmond of
fice was geared to handle in ex
cess of 10.000 refunds a day. Be
cause of tiie small number of re
turn' received, the office lias been
handling less than 3000 per day.
he said Because tiie Richmond of
ficii lias handled only about 20.
000 refunds so far. it. means that
about 530.000 remain to be pro
cessed.
“Naturally, if the taxpayers
wait until a huge volume of re
turns is received by this office,
their refunds may be among the
last to be i'sucd. which may mean
that the taxpayers will not receive
them until after May 1." Mr
Crenshaw said.

French Give Up
Pack of Smokes
To Fix Palace
FARIS—-The French are cutting
down on cigarettes to help raise
money for the Palace of Versailles.
A special appeal has been made to
every citizen to contribute the
price of one pack toward the $14,
000 000 needed to restore the palace
and gardens.
Non-smokers are contributing
too. for the French love Versailles
and flock to see it from all over
the country. On an afternoon jaunt
from Paris or a trip from the
provinces, they visit the palace and
walk in gardens where over 150,
000 plants are set out each year.
Families spread picnic lunches on
the grass, and the children play by
the fountains.
Occasionally special attractions
are listed among theater notices
m the papers. Some Sundays all
the fountains are playing; on cer
tain evenings they are illuminated
while tile opera ballet performs
by the fountain of Neptune. Or
there may be fireworks displays
reflected in the Grand Canal. J
Built on Marshland y
After almost total neglect dur
ing World War II many repairs
are needed in the gardens. The con
dition of the palace is even more
critical
Built by Louis XIV around his
father's hunting lodge on marsh
land 12 miles from Paris, and
w ith no outside downspouts to mar
the beauty of its facades, the
palace is crumbling within from
dampness.
The largest building and most
visited historic shrine in the coun
try. Versailles has always been
very much a part of French life.
Louis XIV, who said bluntly, "I am
the state." established there the
seat of government, luring nobles
to his brilliant court. There they
stayed, dependent on him finan- ]
cially and politically.
t ows and Goats
Sightseers were freely admitted
along with official visitors. Corri

Russians to Increase
Vodka Production
MOSCOW The 19th parly con
pi'*.-', n • by Deputy Premier
Anastas I Mikoyan that produc
tion of vodka was below that of
1940 hut that it would bo upped.
But the U \ orate producers won't
play ar:y favorites with the drink
that ha come to bo recognized as
the national drink of the Russians.
In fact, grape wine output, which
was 39 per cent more th.s year than
11 1940. will be doubled by 1959.
Champagne and cognac production, j
in 1952 double that of 1940, will be
31 z times more in 1955.
Right now. beer production is ;
42 per cent more than before the
war and will be doubled by the end
of 1955.
Mikoyan's speech caused "'on- ,
livenment in the hail." according
to Soviet new-papers. Seems as if
the Russians are going to do a bit
of drinking in the next few, crit
ical years

TV Frontier Is
Fast Reaching
Around World
WASHINGTON, DC.—Television
is pacing off new paths of commu
nication over the face of the world
with twenty-league boots.
Only a quarter of a century ago,
the first crude silhouettes appeared
on glass screens in London, New
York and Washington. This year,
Tanganyikans may see a television
show.
At latest count, 17 countries other
than the United State' have tele
vision transmitters on the air. The
list includes England, Fi ance, Ger
many, Russia, Italy, Denmark, the
Netherlands, Spain, Sweden. Switz
erland, Czechoslovakia, Canada.
Mexico, Cuba, Brazd, Argentina
and Japan.
As this country lifts its television
freeze and opens the way for more
than 2,000 stations at home, at least
13 additional nations are planning
TV tests. Nigeria anl Morocco,
Cyprus and the Dominican Repub
lic. Thailand and India are among
them.
TV Won’t Bern!
Unlike radio, a television broad
cast Is limited by the fact that the
earth is round. It’s signal can reach
little beyond the visible horizon—
perhaps 60 miles, or 20 leagues, at
best. Then it shoots off into space.
In conquering new fields, tele
vision's towers are rising from
deserts and jungles, seacoasts and
mountaintops.
Coaxial transmission lines—hoi- :
low tubes carrying electronic im
pulses at the speed of light—span
the United States. Aboveground. 107
reflector-topped microwave towers
zigzag between New York and San
Francisco. Both systems carry tele
vision programs to local transmit
ting stations. Biilh have been seri
ously proposed for sending TV
around the world.
80 Million Americans
More than half the people in the
United States will be within range
of television under the recent air
wave allocations of the Federal
Communications Commission Much
higher percentages of population are
already blanketed in such countries
as England and the Netherlands.
Within the coining year, the Voice
of America estimated recently, ns
many as 23.000.000 people in other
countries will see TV regularly.
Television is find ng strange and
wonderful uses. A submarine sunk
in the English Channel was found
by a underwater "eye” last year.
Surgeons in New York may watch
a delicate heart operation taking
place in Los Angeles.
Customers can walk into a Lon
don bank and see their balance
sheets on a television screen, al
though tiie files are kept 12 miles
away. Factories, arsenals, atomic
energy laboratories and electric
power plants have put cameras to
work as silent, unblinking watch
men. The Army, Navy and many
universities are teaching classes by
television, foreshadowing the day
when mass education in the na
tion’s living rooms may be possible.
Church People Defend
Custodian, Former Red
McALESTER. Okla.—Church peo
ple here have taken up the cudgels
i n behalf of a church custodian—
r former Communist—and his wife
who have been ordered deported to
their native Belgium by immigra
tion authorities.
The couple, Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Roelants, came to toe United States
in 1948 to live with their daughter,
Mrs. Harry Lay, the Belgian war
bride of a McAlester postal clerk.
Roelants, 54, is custodian of the
Grand Avenue Methodist church
here.
Roelants admits he was a mem
ber of the Communist party for a
short time after World War 11 but
said he renounced his membership
when he realized what the party
stood for. He said his declaration to
immigration officials that he be
longed to no political party at the
time of his arrival in the U.S. was
true, since he had quit the Commu
nist party more than a scar pre
viously.
Members of the Grand Avenue
Methodist church and of the Church
of Christ, where the Roelants are
members, have joined in sending a
stream of letters to congressmen
and other officials in Washington,
asking that the deportation order be
revoked.
Cancer Sufferer Who
Urged Prayer Dies
HATTIESBURG, Miss.-E. N
Hendry, 58. who suggested a na
tional day of prayer for divine help
in speeding the discovery of a cure
for cancer, died of the disease at
Methodist Hospital here.
The former cattleman knew that
he had only a short time to live
when he made his appeal. From his
hospital bed he said:
"I would like to see a day set
aside for all the praying people m
the United States to get on their
knees and pray that God will guide
our scientists in their search for a
cure for cancer.
"It's too late for it. to do me any
gcod, but if I can know that I had
something to do with starting such
a day, then I will be content to die.”
Before his death Mr. Hendry was
told that his appeal was being given
national notice.

THERE'S X DIFFERENC E
IN RAINCOATS. TOO
Most raincoats are labeled
either "waterproof" or "water
repellent ” There's a difference. A
waterproof matenal is coated
with a finish which prevents wa
ter from going through. Air can
not penetrate. Perspiration does
not evaporate easily.
The water-repellent label on a
raincoat means that the fabric
was treated to keep water from
going through. Air is allowed to \
circulate and moistuie evaporate I
easily.
Check to sec if the watcr-repel
lertt finish is marked “durable" or
"permanent"—otherwise you may
need to have your raincoat treat
ed when it is washed or dry
cleaned.

Black Light 'Leap Catches
Leaf Moths Before Laying
According to farmers who use
them, the Gardner LI-30 Black
Light Trap eliminates tobacco
horn worms and bud worms by
trapping the female moths before
they deposit theii eggs. 1j C
Stables. Jr., rural englneei for
Vepco, said.
The principle involved is the
old story of the moth and the
flame. Through a long series of
elimination checks using every
light source uvatlable and even
developing new lights, research
engineers have provad that the
black light fluorescent tube is the
most attractive medium yet <le
voised to trap night flying insects.,
particularly the tobacco hook
worm and bud worm moth.
The trap consist of a baffle
board painted green tliut reflects
the light from the fluorescent
tube below the baftle. Moths are
attracted to the light and when
: they hit or light on the board
they then dive down to the light
and into a mesh bag where they
are caught. The Dailies around
the top of the bag prevent the
moths from escaping
When this Gardner LT-30
Black Light Trap is placed at. the
i proper elevation and location so
j that it may be seen from every
spot in the tobacco held, the to
bacco moths are so strongly at
tracted that they fl\ to the trap
; and are caught before they lay
their eggs. The operating cost is
about the same as a CO watt light
bulb The trap can oc placed on
a pole at the desired height and
No. 14 wire can be used Vo carry
electricity for over 1000 feet to
rtn* desired location
Two years ot intensive research
on trap design have been con
ducted at various . xperimental
stations including the North Car
olina Tobacco Experiment Station
at Oxford. N C , with federal and
.late specialists collaborating in
this work. The Appalachian Elec
tric Power Company, Carolina
Power and Light Company, Duke
Power Company, and Georgia
Power and Light Company have
aided in proving the practical ap
plication of these traps, which are
in operation from Macon. Ga..
|south to tile Florida line: diagon
ally through South Carolina and
North Carolina, and in Franklin
• County. Va.
Farmers in Franklin county
who use these traps say they do
not use poison spray or dust, they
oo not pick worms, and they be
lieve that "if everybody would use
traps we would do away with the
flies in a few years.
If farmers desire any further
information they should contact
their county agent or rural repre
sentative ^with their power sup
plier.

Sheep Breeder
Gives Success Tips
W. D. McNiel. Lee county farm
er, lias been named the winner of
i lie 1952. "returns-pei -ewe" con
test—a program sponsored by the
Virginia Purebred Sheep Breeders
Association and the VPI Agricul
tural Extension Service to encour
age profitable sheep breeding in
the state.
McNiel reported an average re
turn of $47.23 each on 21 ewes
and a 133 per cent lamb crop. He
receives a $35 prize.
The formula lor McNiel’s suc
cess with sheep as setn by the as
sistant Lee county abent. George
A. Lee -"good breeding, excellent
management, and top quality
pasture even when lhere is snow
on the ground.’’
McNiel himself says, "We think
our success with sheep is due to
our feeding and pasture program.
We have 33 acres of ladino
orchard grass we use with the
sheep and about 25 head of eat
1 tie. rotating the sheep fron. one
field to another about once a
month. About the first of July
we turn them into a new field
witli the ram.
"The ewes are turned on rye
pasture as soon as the grass is
gone and stay out until the first
lamb drops. Then we put them in
the barn every night, feeding
about 1 j bushel of crushed corn
each morning and night. I also
• put a box of free-choice minerals
in the burn.
•By the time to Labe them off
the rye. the ladino-orchard grass
is good and I put them on.it Tins
gets them to market early at a
good size and that is where the
profit is in the lamb.

Federation Vice President
Woman’s Club Speaker
Shows Issues
Facing' Americans
“The A. Vi. C.'s of Totalitarian
ism—apathy. beauracracy. and
cynicism,—must be fought with
D D. T.—decisi n. determination
and thoroughness." Mrs. R. Rich
ards Schweitzer, Norfolk, vice
president of the Virginia Federa
tion of Women's Club, told mem
bers of the Farmville Woman's
Club at their annual luncheon
Wednesday at Longwood House.
"Too many of us think of the
government as "it" instead of the
"U. S." which is "us!" Mrs. Sch
weitzer said. "The tremendous
national debt of ours and those
who come after us. As there are
two million more women than
men in the United States, today,
women's responsibility is that
much greater." she declared.
She said that wcmen must
think things through and find
out for themselves. She caution
ed against taking the words of the
commentators without examining
backgrounds and causes.
Times Have ('hanged
"Times have changed but prin
ciples have not." Mrs. Schweitzer
stated "We are a generation that
has conquered many things, which
hav'e happened too rapidly and
too easily. We accept as our herit
age these tilings which we our
selves did nothing to aqutre. In
maintaining our heritage we must
remember that there is no way to
legislate moral or spiritual values.
These we ourselves must realign
and reassess."
The speaker said that we must
begin to curtail and too sacrifice
to pay off our national debt.
"One out of seven people in the
U. S. today is in the employ of
the government, and everyone
works HI days of the year for the
government. If the Truman bud
get is adopted they will work 80
days of the year, and before lone
it will take all of the money of
all of us to pay for the cost of
government." Mrs. Schweitzer
pointed out
Sion Demands
"We must stop making de
mands on federal funds and bring
tlic spending of tax money back
to the localities where we can see
how it is spent." slie declared.
"Remember that even after the
tax collector gets it. it is still our
money."
Mrs. Schweitzer urged that wo
men take an active part in poli
tics "The position of women’s
clubs in regard to politics has
changed" she stated. Instead of
being frowned upon it is now con
sidered as the administration of
public affairs."
She said that when municinal
housekeeping is looked unon in the
light of women's qualifications
with tiie innumerable role they
must play as executives for their
homes and families, it will be seen
that they are well prepared to
participate in public affairs.
Look To Youth
She advised that both bo vs and
girls be inculcated with the re
sponsibility and worth of citizen
ship in choosing careers in the
public service.
"We can't sit back and enjoy
ease and luxury in a world of
chaos." Mrs. Schweitzer said in
conclusion." We must sacrifice,
we must re-c.hart our course, and
have nothing to fear but God."
Mrs. Charles W. Glenn, chair
man of international affairs, in
troduced the speaker. Mrs. Joel
Watkins Jr., president of the club,
presided at the luncheon. A short
business meeting prereeded it.

CURRENT FILM RECALLS
MAYFLOWER’S ADVENTURE
Tlv filming of M-G-M's techni
color production. "Plymouth Ad
venture" showing at the Stale
Theater here this week, called for
tireless historical research by the
studio experts. One of the most
important jobs was re-creation of
the Mayflower, which brought the
first settlers from England in 1620
The Mayflower was an 180-ton
vessel, 90-feet from stem to stern
and with a beam of 25 feet. She
was a three-master, her foremast
and mainmast carrying square
sails, and her mizzen. a latten or
iore-an-aft sail. She was com
manded by Christopher Jones and
was manned by a crew of 30 sea
| men. She carried 102 passengers
I from England to America.
j The Mayflower first sailed from
Southampton on Aug. 5. 1620. ac
companied by the pinnace. Speed
well. The latter ship sprung a leak
'and both ships turned back into
Dartmouth. On August 18th. the
ships again set sail and again dis- j
tress signals flew from the Speed
well's masthead. Both ships now
put into Plymouth where the pas
sengers from the Speedwell were
transferred to the Mfiyflower. The
Mayflower set sail on September
6th and sighted land <Capo Cod'
on November 30 1620

Chairman Tells Of
Blood Procedure
Charlotte Citizens
Eligible For Plan
Mrs. R. H. Pettus. chairman of
(lie Publicity Committee for the
American Red Cross in Charlotte
county, has outlined the procedure
for Charlotte county citizens to
follow in getting Red Cross blood
at the local hospitals, including
Southside Community Hospital.
Any person from Charlotte
county who is hospitalized and
needs blood, or whose doctor in
Charlotte county wishes to ad
minister blood to him. is eligible
to receive blood free of charge, for
the blood itself, from the Roanoke
Regional Blood Center.
If the hospital in which any
person from Charlotte county is
hospitalized is co-operating with
the Red Cross in this blocd pro
grain. the procedure is relatively
simple. You simply remind the
hospital of the fact that Char
lotte county is a participating
county in the Red Cro-s blood
program Have someone notify the
Charlotte County Chapter of the
Rad Cross at Charlotte Court
House, giving the patient's name
and home address, the date he
entered the hospital and whether
or not lie has received any blood,
and if so. how much, the name
of the hospital and its address.
The Red Cross Chapter at
Charlotte Court House will then
'notify the blood center and re
quest that it authorize replace
ment ol the blood so use dr- The
blood renter will then contact the
hospital and determine the
amount and type of blood used.
The blood is then replaced to the
h sj it.il by the blood center, and
the patient will not be charged
for the blood used. Tile key to
this situation is to notify your
home chapter quickly so that the
blood can be replaced before it
has been charged to you
Some of the hospitals which
participate in this program in this
vicinity are Lynchburg hospitals.
Halifax hospitals, and the South
si d e Community Hospital at
Farmville.

Change of Pace
IF the Communists had not realized it be
fore there was no mistaking the change of
pace in foreign relations following the able
‘‘state of the union" address by President
Eisenhower, Monday. Two significant pro
nouncements stand out. First, the Ameri
can Seventh Fleet would be ordered'to stop
shielding Communist China from the Na
tionalist Army on Formosa; second, he in
vited Congress to disavow any Roosevelt
Truman "secret understandings" which
permit enslavement of people anywhere.
The •. atement of policy was not approved
in every quarter, particularly by the Brit
ish, but in the United States the general
feeling is that the first step in clearing the
foreign policy fog has been made.
Mr. Eisenhower took a tactic from the
Russians when he made his first pronounce
ment. It has been our understanding that
the Seventh Fleet was posted at Formosa
in the first instance to keep the Chinese
Reds from running Chaing Kai-shek and
his Nationalist army off the island. Whether
the- situation has changed during the past
three years so that the Nationalist army is
strong enough to effectively attack the
mainland does not appear to be clear. It
is reliably reported that from 400,000 to
750,000 well trained and fairly well equip
ped veterans of Chinese wars compose the
Formosan army. Increased activity on the
mainland of Communist forces in develop
ing defense lines indicate that Chaing may
have force enough to cause the Commies
anxiety. At any rate, the President made
clear that the United .States would no long
er- immobilize potential forces along the
vulnerable coasts of Communist China. It
is to be noted that he did not withdraw the
second part of the Truman order which
protects Formosa from attack by the Chi
nese Reds. We must understand therefore
that Formosa "ill be protected. This shift
in policy opens a potential second front
against the Chinese Reds and will relieve
some pressure in the Korean war zone. 1 he
Communists must realize that Mr. Eisen
hower will act with dispatch and will tak'
steps to checkmate such moves as they
make. What is more he may take the of
fensive in the cold war.
Also significant is the change in com
mand in Korea when Lieut. Gen. Maxwe’
D. Taylor succeeds General James A. Va
Fleet who is retiring. General Taylor, ;
World War II paratroop leader, has a back
ground knowledge of the Orient, having
served as an attache in Japan and China
for many years. He speaks Japanese flu
ently"'. His assignment to command the
ground forces and his background as a
paratrooper may cause the Communist gen
erals in Korea some uneasy moments.
Equally significant are changes in direc
tion of the “cold war.’’ William H. Jack
son, a New York businessman, who was
Gen. Jacob Dever’s chief strategic intelli
gence officer during World War II, and
later served as deputy chief of intelligence
under Gen. Omar Bradley, has been assign
ed to coordinate psychological warfare, pro
paganda, and intelligence programs. Asso
ciated in the overall program will be Allen
W. Dulles, head of the Central Intelligence
Agency, whose job it is to gauge the
strength and intentions of Russia. Jackson,
Dulles and Taylor have worked together
before, are well acquainted and should
make an effective team in both the cold and
hot wars now being waged. It is a team
which will cause more uneasy moments for
the Communists. It is what President Eis
enhower promised to find ways and means
of ending the Korean war with honor. It is
pressure applied to the Communists, cal
culated risks, but the only way to impress
the enemy with our determination for defi
nite action.
The defensive period lor the I'nited
State is over. We now go on the offensive.
The American people and Congress will
support the President in his policies. They
want a change of pace.
Politics Is Politics
'T'lIK Farmville Junior Chamber of Com
merer delegation presented a resolution
at the State Convention calliny on the Jay
eee organization to divorce itself from poli
tical matters, and received an editorial com
mendation from the Lynchbury Advance.
"They particularly mentioned the poll tax
issue because tin* Jaycee state board ot di
rectors had twice previously passed resolu
tions advocating abolishment of the poll
tax. The local chapters are now beiny poll
ed on ti^e resolution.’’ says the Advance.
"... to Participate in politics, as an oryani
zation. is to place them in controversial
matters which inevitably will destroy their
effectiveness and the prestiye they enjoy
for yood work they do in non-political pro
jects. To participate in politics classifies
them amony the pressure yroups.
". . . The Daily Advance h*s admired
and supported the Lynchbury Jaycees as
an excei'tionally effective community or
yanization, but. cannot yo alouy with them
in a dual status of community yood works
and political activity. When partisan poli
tics miters then outside attitude is yovern
ed also by partisan politics and the ‘yood
works' will suffer and the prestiye dimin
ish. (let out the vote, and such activities,
are just yood citizenship and non-partisan.
I?ut the line should be made clear and not
crossed. All of this is of course the Joyce* 's
ow n business, but it would be a pity to see
so valuable an organization in this and
other communities move into a controver
sial position in public esteem and attitude,
and so handicap the fine things they cus
tomarily do.”
We can endorse the commendation by
the Advance. We believe it proper that a
semi-community organization such as the
Jaycees should discuss political matters for
information of their members, but doubt
the advisability of acting as an organiza
tion. Naturally Jaycees are interested in
polities and informational programs might
be encouraged for the enlightenment of the
membership, but group action could well
wreck so tin*' an organization as the Junior
Chamber. Like civic clubs, it can well af
ford to be non-partisan.
This desire on the part of some Jaycee
chapters might, point up the need for more
activity in the regularly constituted politi
cal parties. The younger men should be en
couraged in their interest in political ques
tions and strong political parties might be
the answer. Maybe a revival of militant
political campaigns, with public meetings
in the courthouse would be healthy for all.
It certainly would increase interest in gov
ernment.
Backed I'p Bi.tr T»Ik
rPllK recent action of the Baseball Writ
ers' Association of America, in electing
Jerome Herman (Dizzy) Dean and A1 Sim
mons to the Hall of Fame, is well justified.
Although Dean has been a character whose
color added to gate receipts, he neverthe
less was a great hall player along with it.
Simmons excelled in both manner and abil
ity, and was a hall player's ballplayer.
Dean and his brother. Paul, formed one
of Hie all-time famous brother Combina
tions for the Cardinals in the Thirties. In
the spring of l'J.'Tl. Dean said that “me and
Paul" would win forty-five games. That
was a typical Dean boast, and one which he
and Paul made good. They won forty-nine
between them and, after the season during
which the Cardinals won the pennant, they
each boat the Detroit Tigers twice to win
the World Series for the Gashouse Gang.
Since he has retired, Dean has become
a sports announcer. The Dean story is an
American story, of a country boy who came
up to the big city with big ideas and Dig
talk, but who had the stulV to back both
of them up, most of the time.
The silliest occupation in life is the ef
fort to apply spiritual laws to material
things, and vice versa.
The idea that all marriages arc made
in Heaven places an undue responsibility
upon the celestial regions.
It is very easy for some people to be
lieve that they are natural-born leader

Not for Sale
Lesson for February *, IMS
I F THE modern reader of the par
able of the laborers in the cine
yard is puzzled, he at least has
the comfort of knowing that great
Ribie scholars have been puzzled
too. He also has the discomfort
of knowing that no interpretation
he can put upon it will have unani
mous agreement. To be sure, there
are some things it does not mean
This parable does nut give a mod
el for labor and management.
Jesus was not talking about wages
literally. He was saying some
thing about God. and his dealings
with man Furthermore, this [su
able does not mean that God's
only reason for doing things is “be
cause," that he is one whose acts
ha\e neither rhyme nor reason
But what does this parable mean?
Among the various plausible inter
pretations that have been given it
by Christian thinkers, let us pick
out one of the most important
truths that this peculiar story *ug
gests.
• • •
Nothing to Soil
That truth is: The grace of God
cannot he earned. To desire the
loving favor, the grace," of God.
is to desire the greatest gift God
can bestow. But
it cannot be
bought. It cannot
be earned. We
can see that tins
is true by think
ing a moment.
Think whose it
is We can pay
for business fa
vors. we can tip
a waiter or a r. ..
, I)r. foreman
porter for doing
something special for us; but
we can't tip God. We can employ
ihe services of all sorts of people;
but God's services are not for
hire. We can earn anything on
earth, or many things, but the
grace of God is from heaven.
What he does for man is a gift,
not a payment
And then think who we are Sup
pose we really thought we could
do a bookkeeping business with
God. If we get it into our foolish
heads that he owes us something,
that about our debt to him ’ if we
must have it on a bookkeeping
basis, wc shall always be in the
red
• # *
Karning Clod's Grace
Still, the race of man includes
uany foots. And some . I these
have tried to do tiie in possible,
to earn the infinite grace of God
One way they haw tried is to buy
it- A lifelong rascal s conscience
will finally begin to hurt him. and
so to get God on his side he wilt
build a cathedral or endow an
orphanage or pour money into
some church treasury, hoping that
God will overlook the villainous
ways in which he earned the
money because of the pious way
in which he spends it Other in< n
ia little more on the "religious"
side) seem to think they can
sweet-talk God into being then
friend. They would not put it that
way; they would say that God will
listen to their many prayers Do
they not regularly attend prayer
meetings, or early communions,
and should not God he expected to
do something for them in rrtuii
Others, again, hope that God
can be made to feel so sorry for
them that he will pour out on them
his special grace. If they do not
have natural troubles they w ■"
make artificial troubles for them
selves. They will go w ithout proper
food and clothing, they will wear
hair shirts or iron chains around
their waists, they will roll on beds
of spikes or go without baths for
years and years. But God s grace
does not go to the highest bidders;
it does not go to the most long
winded prayers, it is not offered
as a reward for self-inflicted
wounds God's grace must be taken
as a gift or not at all.
* • *
('■rare and Gratitude
Then does it make no difference
what we do'.’ Will God he just
good to us. no matter what" Shall
we even "do evil that grace may
abound." that is. shall we make
God s grace even more gracious
by being as bad as w e can br ’
Not by any means The truly good
life is not a way of earning the
grace of God; it is a way of re
sponding to the grace of God
Pome one has said that religion
is 'gratitude. Religion is our re
sponse to God. not his to us. Re
ligion is our reply tc the infinite
goodness of the Almighty, not his
reply to our part-way. badly mixed
and human goodness. Indeed, the
goer) life is more than a lifelong
act of gratitude; the good life it
self is the effect of God s grace

WHISKEY SOUR!
By Ted Kesting
Probably the cutest snake of
them all. if you can imagine any
snake being cute, is the hog
nosed snake, also known as the
puffing adder, putting viper and
spreading viper Outdoor writer
Shep Shepherd thinks this com
pletely harmless snake is the big
gest ham in the reptile world.
When danger threatens, he
-aises his body upward, flattens
his head and spreads a cobra
'ike hood. With mouth open he
hisses and strikes ferociously.
This aw esome pet formance is
designed to frighten other crea
tures into instant flight. For all
this show of pugnacity, the little
hognose won't bite even if you put
a finger in his mouth. II his bluff
fails, he resorts to other means.
He dies. And when it comes to
playing dead lie can out-possum
tlie most expert possum that ever
lived.
lie goes into violent, convul
sions turning on ins back and
thrashing about in fancied pain.
Gradually the convulsions cease,
the mouth comes open, the tongue
hangs out and the hognose looks
tor all the world like the deadest
snake aim lie makes one mistake
m this convincing act. So intent
is he upon his purpose that if
you turn him over on his belly
after he has "died" hr will in
stantly flop over on his back
again. This is his death and. by
golly he is going to die in the
manner ot Ins own choosing.
When he is completely "dead."
walk away somewhere out of his
sight and wait. After a few min
utes he turns slowly on his stom
ach again, raises his head and
takes a careful look around. If his
audience has departed lie docs
likewise. Il they ever come up
with an Oscar for snakedom, the
little hognose is a cinch to cop it.
Incidentally, he got that name
from his snout, which is turned
up on the end for rooting in dirt
after the toads that ate the main
item on his menu.
Now comes the moral of this
piece Destroy poisonous snakes.
Lot the others live. Don't smash
the skull of every snake you see
just on the theory it might be
poisonous. Learn to know the four
dangerous kinds and give the rest
a chance to leave you alone,
which they will gladly do. In most
(sections of the country people
have only one or two poisonous
snakes to think about. The West
concerns itself only with the rat
tlers except for a portion of the
(Southwest where a few coral
snakes may be found The central
states will encounter ratllers. cop
perheads and occasionally moc
casins. New England has rattle
snakes and copperheads. The
southeastern states have the

venomous snakes since it is here

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship. It
is a storehouse cf spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (1)
For his own sake. (2) For his
children's sake (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the scke of the Church itself,
which needs his morel and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
Book Chapter Verses
Sunday — Psalms IP 7-14
Monday ...Psalms UP 1-B
Tuesday .. Matthew . S 1J-20
Wednesday Luke 20 IP-26
Thursday . Rom.as 7 24-25
Friday ... Romans 23 1-10
Saturday James 2 29*27
Nancy’s not afraid of policemen. You can tell
that by her open expression of friendliness as
she looks up at the officer helping her across the
street.
In some countries the law is not so kind. It is
not used, as in America to protect the individ
ual. It is not made for the masses, but for the
few to do with as they please.
In our great land you’ll see policemen at nearly
every city school, not to correct, but to protect
your children at the street crossings.
That is because our country and its laws have
been founded on Christianity.
Support your church and give your children
continued protection and the treedom to live,
learn, and tyorship as they please.

“EYES TO THE BEST: BACKS TO THE REST”
The Stampede
Has Started
In Istanbul
ISTANBUL—Five centuries at
ter Greeks and Turks engaged in
bitter conflict around its ancient
walls, the city of Istanbul faces
the modern conflict of trucks and
automobiles, streetcars and pedes
trians, all seeking room to move.
Beside the Golden Horn, auto
matic traffic signals of American
design, parking meters, garages,
and parking lots are proposed to
solve problems having origins in
a city founded when men rode
horses.
Istanbul is a great seaport, btn
it is menaced on the land side by
bottlenecks. The Galata Bridge
over the world famous Golden Horn
is one of the bottlenecks. At rush
huurs. traffic slows to a crawl as
. commuters jam into an area where
there is not only the bridge, but
: the ferry to the Bosporus, the
streetcar to Bebek and the tunnel
to the heights of Bcyoglu tPera).
Stamboul Modernizing
The Golden Horn is a curving in
1 let into the shoreline of Europe.
Even in the days when the great
city that straddles this inlet was
called Constantinople, the section
to the south was known as Stam
boul.
South from Galata Bridge, the
view now includes not only an un
paralleled panorama of minarets
and mosque domes, but a steel and
concrete picture composed of the
city's leading department stores,
its central post office, the railway
station for the Orient Express,
and fine educational institutions*
all m Stamboul.
Left behind on the north bank is
Istanbul's most noticeable sky
scraper. the Galata Tower, center
of the Genoese colony and office
of foreign ambassadors.
Movies Draw Crowds
Normal business traffic in the
Galata bottleneck is swelled by
movement of pleasure seekers
from the coffee shops and the mos
que courts of Stamboul to the
movie palaces, night clubs, casino
and open-air opera of Beyoglu.
Western visitors are intrigued
by the city's two-car trams, now
facing stern competition from
taxis, buses, and private cars So
crowded are these streetcars that
■ honest passengers pass their fares
along to the conductor through
several hands
Traveling Salesmen
Jokes Not Funny Then
CHICAGO—There may be a lot of
jokes about traveling salesmen to
day. but there was nothing tunny
about the travels of a salesman a
thousand years ago
Commercial travelers of the time
spent the^r days dodging mud-holes
in the unpaved roads and their
nights looking for decent lodging -
History research experts report
that ' Flemish merchants in rural
districts were often forced to stop
at crossroads hovels. There, they
would sleep wrapped in their own
cloaks and lying on benches in a
mean, crowded room ."
' Hotels” circa 1000 A D , did not
furnish sheets because linen was
too expensive and cotton in those
days was virtually unknown in Eu
| rope. Blankets, when available.
were invariably dirty and flea
! laden As a rule mattresses were
j even worse and filled with lumps
and lice. In fact, guests were kept
so busy tossing and scratching they
bad little time to worry about
: trivial things lute "morning back
ache.”
In larger towns, the inns offered
crude sleeping attics which were
reached by steep ladders leading
from the public rooms downstairs.
Among the special features of these
attic dormitories were rows of
hard beds and lively rats and mice
which raced about the straw-cov
ered floor at night or gnawed
! busily on the dusty and mud-caked
boots of the weary, torpid guests.
Other appointments” included
small, dirty "windows'' that were
shuttered tightly " gainst the peril
ous rnght air.”
Peace Triumphant in
Assault-Battery Case
BOSTON—The charge in a court
room here was assault and battery.
The defendant was Mrs. Madeline
H Sweeney, founder and president
of The Olive Branch, an organiza
tion devoted to plumping for world
peace.
However peace was triumphant
and its disciple was dismissed on
the charge.
Fifth Pair of Twins
Alarms Burma Papa
RANGOON, Burma—A Chinese
mother who has given birth to four
sets of twins within four years pre- 1
pared for another visit to a matern
ity home here.
Her physician, after a thorough
examination, told her she would
have a fifth pair of twins.
Her husband, a merchant, sighed
and said. “This must stop."

Clean Blankets and Spreads
At Home Before Storing Away
By Ertta Haley
■pvOFS IT SFFM like time to
change to lighter-weight bed
ding right about this time’’ Perhaps
some of the woolen blankets, com
forters and quilts have earned their
va'cation. having served through cold
weather.
You have probably cleaned or
washed and aired them several
times during their period of use,
but they need a thorough cleaning
before storage. Unless they are im
maculate and then property stored,
you may find them damaged by
moths or other insects by the time
you're ready for th^m again.
Much of the heavy bedding can
be laundered at home, and thus
save you some expensive cleaning
bills. You should know, however, if
the articles in question can be laun
dered, and this you’ll find on the
labels which came with the bedding. (
You'll have so much more success
at this laundering job if you pick
the ideal day for it' It should be
warm, breezy and not too crowded
with other household tasks. If you .
can finish the laundering in one day.
and you can easily, if the w rl; is
properly routinized, then the follow
ing day can be used to pack prop-'
erlv for storage.
It’s almost essential to have a
washing machine for blanket clean- j
. ng. If that’s not possible, press
someone into service to help you |
lift the blankets, as they are heavy
when soaked with water. Good. ;
strong lines for drying are also es- ;
sential. Check them for durability
before hanging bedding.
To complete the laundering, an
iron or a steam iron will give the
blankets an excellent finish. A
whCkbroom with stiff bri ties is
l ie tun linei tor drying bedding . .
another aid which you’ll ward, as it '
can be used to raise '.ho nap on the
blanket.
Brush Soiled Bindings
Before Washing Blanket
After you’ve checked on the man- j
ufacturer's advice as to whether
your particular blankets can be
washed, start the cleaning by spong- ;
ing or brushing tile soil off the bind- :
ings. You'll need heavy, mild i- ,
made with tepid water.
If you know before hand where the .
soil is heaviest, treating the binding
is easy. If the soil is not apparent
when the blanket is wet. try mark
ing the soiled spots with a white or ,
colored basting thread.
The blanket is then ready for
the machine which has been filled
with tepid water (100 F.>. Suds
should be fairly heavy, made with
a mild soap or detergent. Soften the
water if it's hard.
Three minutes washing action is
prescribed for the average blanket.
If heavily soiled, wash again, but
use clean water and suds the sec
ond time.
Brush nap to restart finish.
Support the blanket with both
hands when it's lifted from the
water. If you are using a wringer,
set the rolls as loosdlv as possible,
since there should not be too much
pressure exerted on the blanket
when wet. The woolen fibers, in
blankets or clothing, are weakened
w'ith water, and must be treated
gently.
Use tepid water for rinsing. If de
sired, rinse in the machine, for three
minutes. Never twist or wring the
blanket roughly. Extract the water
again.
Support Blankets
During Drying
Even with the water wr • s out of
the blanket, it will til. be quite
heavy, as you have me c\ ted a
great deal of pre. < wring
ing. For this rea jt is best to
use two lines in banging to dry,
preferably in the shade, as too much
i.i at w ill also weaken woolen fibers.
Handle the blanket with the bind
ings down, then stretch carefully to
iron the edges, and you’ll have
iittlc pre.-.-ing to do when the blank
et is dry
If hung inside to dry, use two
lines, as you would doing it out
side, but make certain it is away

Organdy and warmer weather

thing available in stitching. Here
is a beige organdy dress, iced

worn over a heige faille taffel.t
petticoat. This can be achicy cd

particularly loose tension and no
special attachment, a spark

Give New Freshness
To Bedspreads
If bedspreads are of the washuM
type, give then, much the .rue
laundering treatment as you v. ntn;;
blankets. Tepid water, mild ::
and thia-e ndniite wa.-h ng ara i>

line will ttffiee, and. 1 rpr. :
may be folded in half with the fold
at the bottom, and both ends oyer
lapping on the line, pinned on each
ride and once in the middle.
Chenille and randlcwick spreads
should be shaken several tinu
while drying, and then hr . he :
lightly when dry.
In most eases, if chenille nr !
candU-wiek spreads are shaken
thoroughly when they are dry -
then brushed, little else will be pc. -
;ed. Since they do not take to a dry
iron. it IS .>o-1 to tire steam. Lay t. ■
spread on your bed and hold a
team iron about 'z inch noov tb
blanket, going over the entir. :
face. After this, brush to raise the
nap.
In the case of eilk and rayon
spreads, these are best ironed when
placed on a table, padded yvi-li a
cotton blanket or table pad covered
with a sheet. In tins way you can
ir in a big surface without turning.
Fringe on spreads is best treat
ed with brushing, or even combing
with a large toothed comb.
Check Color-Fastness
Before Washing Quilts
You may have a very lovely quilt,
but if tlie colors run, it may locr
much of its beauty when laundered.
Be certain to check this feature be
fore attempting to wash it
Quilts which, are quite flat, anti
well quilted, that is. with smali pat
terned stitching, will wash very
well, and they aren’t too heavy to
handle.
Use very lukewarm water anti
mild suds for the laundering. It
there are heavily soiled parts on
the quilt, finger-rub these with subs
before the all-over washing.
Handle very gently during both
washing and wringing so that the
quilting will not be disarranged
Rinse carefully, two or three times
to get out soap.
When hanging it is best to use
three or four lines because of the
weight.
Store Bedding Well
To Prevent Moths
Once blankets, quilts and spreads
are clean, moth damage is cut
down a great deal. However, you
should also spray the blankets,
quilts and other bedding or sprinkle
them with crystals that deter moth
activity, especially if they have any
wool in them.
Large sheets of brown wrapping
paper are good for storing before
boxing the bedding. If you prefer,
you might use the zippered plastic
bags which simplify the problem,
and can be reused time and again.
With just wrapping or boxes, it’s
a good idea to label as to content,
just in case you want them out be
fore the season is up.

Few Farms But
More Efficient
Farm Production
Rises Steadily
Farms are getting bigger, few
er and more efficient, reports the
U S. census bureau.
The average farm grew from 174
to 2104 acres between 1940 and
1950, the census figures show. Dur
ing this decade, the actual number
of farms decreased by 713.000.
About 870.000 fewer persons worked
on farms in 1950 than in 1940.
Meanwhile, farm production has
been rising steadily. Between 1940
and 1950, corn production increased
During the ll-year period
from 1940 to 1950, the overage
farm in the Vnlted States grew
from 174 acres to 2H'i acres
yet the actual number of farms
decreased by 713,000.
by 673,803,000 bushels; wheat by
212.109.000 bushels; oats. 218.684."
000 bushels; and soybeans 1.792.000
bushels.
Four factors have helped bring
about these crop production in
creases, says the Middle West Soil
Improvement committee: (1) high
er yielding, disease resistant new
crop varieties; (2) increased use
of commercial fertilizer containing
nitrogen, phosphate and potash:
i >3) more mechanization of farm
[ work which enables a man to do
more in fewer hours; <4> greater
realization by farmers of the need
for building and maintaining the
soil's fertility level.
Higher crop yields mean a great
er drain on the soil's fertility re
sources.

costing twice that of the program !
m this country, involved less than j
17 000 persons, while at home
3.400.000 were involved
More Funds
Mr. Abbitt said tlmt in the re
cent presidential budget submit
ted to congress even larger funds
were requested for overseas ex
penditure for vocational and I
technical education while no in
crease was recommended for the
program at home.
The appropriation for vocation- j
al education, including vocational
agriculture, distributive educa
tion. home economics, and trade
end industrial education for tiie
coming year totals $25,958,383.08. i
Of this. $18,673,861 is recoin- ;
mended for the program set up
under the George-Barden Act j
and $7,285,122.03 under the
automatic allocation from the i
Smith-Hughes Act
The Fourth District Congress
man cited figures to show tiiat
the increase in foreign expendi
tures for the educational pro- ;
grams nearly doubled m the past
year. For fiscal yem of 1951. the
government m a d e available
slightly over $28,000,000 for the
program. The breakdown for fis
cal year of 1953 is not vet avail- 1
able.
Foreign Guarantees
The Virginia Representative
further stated that in fiscal year
of 1952, the Technical Co-opera
tion Adminsitration made 1266
individual grants to foreign tech
nicians to come to the United
States at a cost of $4.782,990 At
the same time 1100 U. S techni
cians. professionals, clerks, ste
nographers and administrative
assistants went abroad to engage
m the same kind of educational
work at a cost of $7,078,000
Figures also show. Mr. Abbitt.
said, that the Mutual Security
Agency contracted with 4414
grantees from European countries
and 353 grantees front Asiatic
countries to come to 'he United
States for study at a cost of $9.
832.541. As part of the same pro
gram. 318 Americans went to
Europe and 225 to Southeast Asia
at an additional cost ol $4,687,082
Mr. Abbitt was h.gli in his
praise of the vocational agricul
tural program throughout the na
tion and particularly in Virginia.
Ho explained that the federal
government is allocating $626,464
lor all vocational piograms in
Virginia. Of this, the vocational
agriculture program gets about
half. He said the house eeon< micS
program is allocated $131,000, to
which the State and local govern
ments add more than S1.2CO.OOO.
In all, more than 53.000.000 is
added to the federal money for ;
agriculture, home economics,
trade and industrial1 and distribu
tive education in Viiginii. mak
ing a total of approximately
$4,000,000 spent in this state.
Fine Program
Mr. Abbiit said Virginia has
“one of the finest11 vocational
agricultural programs in the
country. More than 115.000 Vir
ginians are enrolled in vocational
classes in regular day school, or
evening classes.
He was careful to point out
that he is not necessarily con- ]
demning all of the programs of i
foreign assistance foi vocational 1
and technical education. He said
in many places very good work
has been done by tne agencies
participating.
“Those responsible for. and
those interested in. the develop
ment of a sound program of vo
cational education in our public
schools have no quarrel with edu
cational assistance „iven foreign
ers under either the Point Four
Program, or other educational
activities, where they are proper
ly administered and are otierated
with efficiency. The Mutual Se
curity Agency has undertaken
good work in several places and
some foreigners have been
Drought here, trainen in our insti
tutions. and sent back to do a
good work in their native coun
tries. However, those interested in
vocational education in America
feel that federal aid for these pro
grams in our public schools
should at least equal the amount
of federal funds appropriated to
provide vocational education io
foreigners."
BEEF PRICES
Lower meat prices this year |
were predicted because of the j
large quantities of beef now pass- ;
ing through the wholesale and
processing stages and a drop in 1
: consuming demands, according
to the Agriculture Department. It
was estimated that inspected !
packers, in the first three weeks '
1
of this yea:, produced 503.000.000
pounds of beef a tta in of almost
i 20 per cent over the correspond

‘one hundred '100' acres, be the
j same more or less, purchased by
L G. Atkins from Myrtle Mc
Daniel and husband, by deed

day ol October. 1922. from Willie
Jackson, widower, of record in the
Clerk's Office of Cumberland

At the date of Ihe aforesaid deed
from Willis Jackson, widower, to
the said Myrtle McDaniel, there
was of record in the Clerk's Of
fice of Cumberland County. Vir
ginia. a iced from me t"d Willis
Jackson to A. B. Armstrong, as
trustee, conveying the aforesaid
property in trust fot the benefit
of the wife of Will s Jackson for
her life and at her death to go to
the children of their marriage,
said deed being on record in Deed
Book 38, page 371. The intention
of the deed fiu m Willis Jackson,
widvwer. o Myrtle McDaniel was
intended to convey the interest
of all the children of Willis Jack
son and his then deceased wife
and that lie proceeds from the
sale were actually distributed
among those heirs and that the
failure of the aforesaid heirs to
sign the aforesaid deed was only
through ignorance ol the fact
that they were necessary parties.
And further, that oy a certain
deed dated the 6th day of March
1891. of record in the Clerk's Of
fice of Cumberland County in
Deed Book 36, page 263. one R. S.
Paulette conveyed to Willis Jack

of land; said R. S. Paulette con
veyed aforesaid land as the "sur

known as Hilliard and Paulette".
This deed of R S. Paulette did
not purport to be a conveyance
by him in the partnership name
but it was conveyed by him in his
mJividual capacity ol surviving
partner. Therefore the compain
unts are of the opinion that the
deed from R. S. Paulette, afore
said described, was not sufficient
to convey the interest held by the
other partner. James B. Hilliard,

Senator Robertson
Reaffirms Stand On ‘Trade Versus
Aid’ Issues Advocated Bv President
Virginia Senator
A Willis Robertson
devotes Ins column
of W a s h i n c t > n
Congressional com
ment this week to
a discussion of the
current legislative
debate on the issue
of trade versus aid,Sen.Robertson
in foreign affairs. '
In a speech at Southwest Vir
ginia last week, during the lull
between the inauguration and
President Eisenhower's first ad
dress before the Congress week.
Senator Robertson reaffirmed his
position on the matter He writes
"In that speech I emphasized
tlie importance to Southwest Vir
ginia. as well as other areas, of a
healthy program of foreign Hade
1 pointed out that the plan of
"trade and not aid" now being
advocated by a Republican Presi
/ dent had long been sound Demo
cratic doctrine and that I had
actively supported this program
since it was initiated by Cordell
Hull in 1934.
"My immediate personal in
terest in this subject centers
around the meeting of the Inter
national Wheat Council which
opened in Washington on Friday.
Jan. 30. This is a continuation of
discussion started in London laJ
April by the forty-six nations
participating in the International
Wheat Agreement of 1949
"More than two thirds of the
world's wheat trade is bring car
ried on under this agreement,
which set the maximum price
which the lour exporting nations
'Canada. Australia. France and
the United States* could charge
and a minimum price which the
forty - two importing countries
would pay. with a free market be
tween those limits.
"The agreement will expire at
tlie end of next July unless the
participating countries agree to
renew it There is some opposition
m the United States because of
t.he subsidy cost, amounting to
nearly S580.000.t)00 during the
four year period But those who
favor the agreement point out
that it will have permitted the
farmers .:l the United States to
export nearly a billion bushels of
surplus wheat in an orderly man
ner while par'ty prices were being
maintained on our home markets.
"Wheat is eligible for govern
ment loans at 90 percent of
parity and the subsidy that may
be paid by our government ll the
international agreement is ex
tended will cost the taxpayers less
than the loan value. Wheat grow-;
ers will, of course, take the loanj
if they can't find commercial!
markets at parity prices
■ I have been chosen to repre-j
sent the Senate Appropriations!
Committee n the United Stales
Committee which will advise the1
Secretary of Agriculture in con
nection with the current wheat
council meeting and I shall, there
fore. follow' its deliberations close
ly My objective will be a plan
to preserve the foreign agricul
tural trade*whic!i is vital to our
Nation as a whole, as well as t >
the farmers, but to keep the cost
at an absolute minimum "
