are the physical handicaps which we
must work to correct or prevent."

yourselves," Watkins M Abbitt.
Fourth District Congressman, told a
large group of stockholders of the
Farmville Production Credit As
sociation and National Farm Loan

We S. Green, chaiiman of ihe Farm
Credit Board, described local con
ditions that went hand-in-glove with
the address made by the Congress
man.

plight of farmers as facing an in
tolerable situation. He coined a
phrase "displaced farmers” as j
those who have been run out of busi
ness. He said there are some to
bacco farmer that couldn't make a
living even if the pirce of tdbacco

Massive Resistance Against Tyranny
Highlight of the first state-wide
c mve : ion of the Defenders of State
Sovereignty and Individual Liber
ties was the banquet address of
Mississippi Congressman John Bell
Williams Friday night in Richmond.
A record crowd of Defenders from
over the state assembled to hear
the young congressman challenge
all Virginians to resist the tyranny
of judicial usurpation and to resist
the growing centralization of power
m Washington.
The one-armed 38-year-old World
War II veteran, who gained his
House seat in 1946, said. "In the
face of the Supreme Court's brazen
usurpation of authority, its flagrant
disregard of constitutional limita
tions. its willful flaunting of judicial
precedents, its wanton contempt for
the doctrine of states’ rights and
recognized principles of established
law. we must resort to drastic
measures it we are to preserve the
structure of our republic."
Approximately delegates from
some 60 chapters of the Defenders
attended the meeting More than 50
members of the Prince Edward
chapter were present, representing
the largest number from any one
chapter Chapters m Cumberland,
Powhatan, Amelia and Nottoway

vention. Brig .-Gen. Bonner Fellers
(USA-ret. was principal speaker.
He called for an end to federal in
come taxes, and foreign aid and for
an increase in the Air Force budget.
At the concluding session, the
delegates adopted a "declaration of
convictions" calling on the govern
ing bodies of all Virginia localities
to stand firm and united in support
of state segregation policies.
The Defenders also branched out
for the first time in other fields
and announced opposition to < 11 any
effort to weaken immigration laws
and to "further depletion of our eco
nomic resources in the continuation
of so-called aid to foreign nations",
and they opposed '2' submission of
any part of the sovereignty of the
United States to the control of the
United Nations.
The Defenders urged Americans
to demand a reduction in federal
taxes and requested the Virginia
delegation in Congress to ■oppose
"all legislation designed directly or
indirectly to repose control of our

No More To Be Started
Limited Supplies of Salk Vaccine Cut
Public Clime l sage to Ending Series
Because there is only a limited
supply of Salk anti-polio vaccine
remaining and because of uncer
tainties of future supplies through
federal channels. Southside Health
Health District no longer can give
first doses at public clinics. Dr.
H. E. Jenkins, health director an
nounced today.
“We will continue, however, to
give the second and third doses
so as to complete the series, for
those wiio have started, as long as
the supply of vaccine lasts," the
director reported.
Dr. Jenkins said the district's
present allotment is the last un
der the current federal distribu
tion program, and that “we don't
know of any more to come."
To meet that situation, the pro
cess adopted for the district is to
husband present resources to
benefit those who had started the
three-dose series earlier, rather
than starting the whole series, lie
said.
The program of completing ser
ies only is effective throughout
the Southside Health District of
Appomattox. Buckingham, Cum
berland and Prince Edward coun
ties. Dr. Jenkins said
Public clinics to administer Salk
vaccine and other imunizations
are held at county health offices
each Friday from 2:30 to 3:30 p.
m. Persons wishing information
should contact their respective
county health offices, according
to Dr. Jenkins

FARM PRICE
OUTLOOK
I
This is the waj prospects for Virginia farm prices looked
to the Virginia Department of Agriculture on Friday. The De
partment offers it to irkrmers with the warning that no one can
predict prices and he right all the time.
I
Hogs
Look for some further improve
ment in hog prices in the next
couple of weeks.
It looks now’ like ihe seasonal up
trend into the summer months, as
supply lessen?, will be in about
three stages. Up some from now
through the first part of April, then
fluctuations through May. and then
the final pickup into mid-summer
Richmond yards last week were
25 cents lower at $17.50 to $18; Vir
ginia auctions, unchanged at S17.80:
while Western markets mproved
25 to 50 cents to S17.50-$17.75. and
Baltimore picked up 50 eats at
$18.75 to $19. Receipts in the 12
major markets last week were five
Pm cent over the precedit s? week;
10 per cent below the same week
last year.
This year's price level is higher
than last, so while the supply trend
right now looks similar to ljist year,
the price increase may npt be as
big.
The latest fallowing intentions
for the nine corn belt states shows
about the same size pig jcrop as
last year for the December! to May
Be gay with
the friendly
“Pepper
Upper"
period. But for this current quar
ter -March. April and May—inten
tions are up one per cent over Iasi
year and about two per cent above
intentions reported in December.
That may be an indication that the
favorable corn and hog price situa
tion has changed some minds.
And where the U. S. intentions
had been for six per cent fewer
pigs this spring, the figure may nov.
change to four per cent
Broilers
We think broiler prices are going
to be just about where thay are for
the next two weeks or so.
After that there could be some
brightness in the price picture. That
is if weather warms up. perking up
demand Because right about then
the supply will begin to taper off.
moving closer to last year's level.
Right now it’s 15 per cent above
last year this time. By June, it will
be about even with last year.
Virginia prices last week were
17-18 cents in the Valley, a cent
lower than the preceding week:
19 1-2 to 20 cents in Delmarva. one
cent above the preceding week.
North Carolina and Georgia were
both 17 cents a pound, off a cent
from the previous week.
Last year, when supply was mov
ing steadily upward, into August,
broiler prices dropped from 22 cents
around March 15 to 19-30 cents by
June 1.
C orn
The corn price trend is following
the usual pattern for this time of
the year—up little by little until
just before the new crop. However,
the total gain probably won't be as
much as usual.
So if you have corn to sell and
want to hang on to it for a while,
be doubly sure there's no rodent or
insect damage risk.
Movement is still fairly heavy in
Virginia. The price has been fairly
constant in the past four or five
weeks. Richmond' is $1.37 a bushel;
Norfolk. $1.30 to $1.50; Northern
Neck $1.35 to $1.37. and the Valley
$1.45 to $1.55.
Planting intention reports just out
show the nation will probably have
five p. r cent less corn acreage this 1
year, the smallest in 70 years.
V igiaia intentions show four per
cent less than last year. 20 per cent
less than the 10 year average. But
climbing yields per acre have been
keeping the production level almost
constant
January stocks were about 3 1-2
billion bushels, 11 per cent above
last year. It disappearance is nor
mal, it will take care of about three
billion bushels of that.
Soybeans
Don't hold soybeans waiting for
the price to rise any between now j
and new crop time. But do shop
around before you sell.
The Baltimore market has
dropped two cents off the top price
ui the last three weeks with $2.34 to
$2.44 now prevailing. Virginia mar
kets have been steady during that
period, with Richmond S2.lt); Norfolk
and Northern Neck $2.20 to $2.30.
There’s still an ample supply of
beans, with a carryover of 25-30
million bushels expected.
As of March I the U. S. planting
intentions looked like four per cent
more acres than last year—or a to
tal of 22.7 million. In Virginia, the
intentions were for eight per cent
less acreage than last year's record
number.

Vast Stream Food, Clothes, Medicine
In Churches' 1956 Overseas Relief
Protestant churches In the United
Slates sent 192.973,657 pounds of
food, elution.-', medicin e and other
relief supplies abroad through
Church World Sen ice in 1956 for
f>pe distribution to hungry, home
less and destitute persons. Value of
the overseas relief, shipments was
$31,188,181.
This contribution of A m erican
people through their churches to
those in need abroad much more
than doubled the amount of the 1955
shipment. This was announced today
by Dr. R. Norris Wilson, executive
director, at Church World Service
offices in New York City.
Highlight of the material relief
program during 1956, in addition to
the vastly stepped up overall pro
gram of U. S. surplus foods. Dr.
Wilson said, was the Immediate and
extremely effective ministry of the
churches in Austria in connection
with the tragic Hungarian refugee
situation.
Helped Hungarians
There, because of their overseas
stockpiles of food, clothing, and
other supplies and the network of
voluntary a s s i s t a n c e available
through the cooperation of the Euro
pean churches. Church World Serv
ice relief materials were among
those first available to those fleeing
from aggression in Hungary.
Costs of the destribution of both
surplus and other materials. Dr.
Wilson declared, were at a record
low Foodstuffs from surplus stocks
were distributed, he said, at an av
erage ratio of 254 pounds per dollar
contributed and expended in this
program.
Other distributions—those of food,
clothing, medicines, etc.—were at a
ratio of slightly over 100 pounds per
dollar. These costs, the Church
World Service executive said, were
for all expenditures including those
of administration, promotion, etc.
m addition to actual costs of dis
tribution abroad.
Surplus commodity shipments in
1956, Dr. Wilson said, totalled
186.834.717 pounds, valued at
$27,423,944.
Relief materials other than sur
plus foods—mainly clothing, shoes,
bedding, medical and self-help sup
plies totalled 5.238.940 pounds con
servatively valued at $3,764,937. rep

more tiian 500,000 pounds
To 34 Countries
Distribution overseas of the ma
terials involved in the 1956 program,
Dr. Wilson said, was made possible
by contributions in response lo the
“One Great Hour of Sharing" and
similar appeals within denomina
tional structures, from the Share
Our-Surplus appeal and from com
modity collections of the Christian
Rural Overseas Program iCROPi of
Church World Service, and through
other contributed clothing and com
modity efforts of Church World
Service and its constituent denomi
nations.
Areas to which major amounts of
relit f materials were sent include
Austria. Germany, Greece. Hun

Brazil, Formosa. Hong Kong. India.
Japan. Korea. Lebanon. Pakistan,
the Philippines. Indonesia. Vietnam,

Warning Given On
Unethical Termite
Control Operators
"Worse than usual” is the tag put
on the number of fraudulent ter
mite exterminators in Virginia this
spring.
John M. Amos, insect control
specialist at VPI, says many home
owners throughout the state ,are re
porting "questionable practices” in
the termite extermination business.
There are many reliable operators
in Virginia, Amos says, and it pays
to check on the operator you intend
to hire.
Termites work slowly, and you
have time to check the extermin
ator's reputation before you hire
him. A delay of a few weeks, or
even months, will make little dif
ference.
Amos says the VPI Agricultural
Extension Service is cooperating
with the Virginia State Pest Con
trol Operators’ Association, and
Better Business Bureaus, regarding
the reliability of persons who so- i
licit work in termite control. If you
will contact any one of the three
organizations, they will be glad to
help.
Here are some tips on how you
can guage the reliability of persons
offering termite control service:
If you ai-e told that termites will
soon ruin or cause your house to'
collapse, you can definitely list the
firm as questionable. Firms which
-harge according to the amount of
chemical used likewise are ques
tionable. Any good termite operator
can estimate the cost just as a car-1
peuter can estimate the cost of a
repair job.
A reliable pest control operator
should have established headquar
ters and a dependable local reputa
tion. Investigate this qualification
Do not depend on guarantees. Most
of them are worthless Rather, de
pend on the reputation of the oper- i
ator. Do not consider price the
criterion of a good job. Most cheap
things are really cheap and you
rarely get a bargain for little or
no money, Amos says.
Back in thfl 1920’s it was con
sidered great sport to go up in bal
loons. It still is. But in addition,
balloons now play an important par'
in the training of Naval airship pi
lots. They are used to develop the
pilot’s ability to bring his airship
to a safe landing, since in the event
of engine failure the airship's per
formance is similar to that of a
floating balloon.
Tax Cut Coining?
News Report From Washington
Washington, March 25—The most
surprising turn of events in Wash
ington. since Congress ■ met is the
rising ground swell of sentiment for
a tax cut. Brought on in party by
slowed business, appeals by econo
my-minded elder statesmen, like
! Herbert Hoover, and other factors,
i the growing tide of opinion in favor
I of cutting federal taxes is taking
hold in Washington.
Some Congressmen who were not
in favor of cutting taxes at this
session—for the coming year—are
going over to the view that it's time
to reduce individual income taxes.
The best chance of a tax cut in this
field is one which would reduce
everyone's taxes by a certain per
centage . five or ten per cent, for
example.
< on Kress May Act
Congress might surprise a lot of
people and vote such a cut effective
in 1958, at this session. This is sup
posed to be a long-shot chance but
it has happened in the past.
And although there is no election
this year, a tax cut voted now would
take some yf the intense politics
sure to be involved if the move
comes in 1958. an election year. The
Democrats and Republicans tradi
tionally split on tax bills.
The Democrats make a play for
the poor man's vote, and favor re-:
ductions for the small income
brackets while worrying little about
the middle classes, the upper middle
classes and big business. The Re
publicans currently follow’ the Phi
losophy that everyone should pay
some taxes and favor relief for
those paying the most generally
speaking.
And although the Democrats are
in a majority at this session, it
may be that the Republican theory
will be enacted into law in a new
tax cut bill, because sentiment
across the nation now favors relief
for the middle classes to a greafei
extent than it has for some years
The Administration's record;
peacetime request for funds to
maintain the defense establishment
—more than 4i) billion dollars—ap
pears likely to be granted but there
are indications that Congress and
the voter may soon demand greater
efficiency in the operation of the de
partment.
There is much talk about waste
fulness. which at one time -several
years ago- -amounted to a full blown
scandal. Unification is still not what
it was supposed to be when the uni
fication act was passed a decade
ago.
And there is growing emphasis on
new and modern and more power
ful weapons, as opposed to higher
manpower totals. A streamlined de
fense establishment actually unified
thoroughly, could eliminate much
duplication and reduct the number
of both civilian employ -»; and mili
tary personnel now requir d to
carry on the work of the services.
Gruenther’s Kutu-e
In a year or two Congress- or the
President—might be ready to put
the squeeze on for just this kind of
program. Some Washington ob
servers believe that the only reason
a move of this kind is not now
underway, in .st'-enttin is th current
crises in the Middle East.
If the international picture ouiets
down and if there is no sudden war
in the middle East, then the De
fense Department might be the
scene of some changes. There are
also rumors that a new Defense Dc
partment head may be named and
these rumors include the name of
General Alfred Gruenther.
But there is no real indication that
President Eisenhower would put the I
heat on Charles Wilson to resign
Wilson has be n a faithful Secre
tary, though his bluntness a! times j
has gotten him into various dog-j
houses.
In 1952, Virginia had 2 >;39 public
elementary schools and 519 public j
econdary schools.

Senator Dalton Sets Stage
REPUBLICAN State Sehator Ted Dalton
set the stage Saturday for the guberna
torial campaign in which we expect him to
be in the months just a lead. Though he
disavows his intention to carry the Repub
lican gubernatorial banner he certainly is
placing himself in a position to be its can
didate,' which he can be by merely saying
the word.
His statements before the Republican
Central Committee were nothing new, ex
cept that he took occasion to oppose the
principle of “massive resistance” renewed
last week by U. S. Senator Harry F. Byrd.
Mr. Dalton is not out of character in this.
He opposed the interposition resolution,
in the regular session and the Governor’s
school program in the special session. He
maintains that Virginia j can accept the
principle of non-segregatjon laid down by
the U. S. Supreme Court, and then “keep
white schools white under law and order
but keep the public schools.’’ Just how this
will be done has not been detailed by Sen
ator Dalton, nor by anyone else. It is a
slogan of several other Virginia politicians,
some Democrats, who overlook the import
ant governmental principles of usurpation
of power by the Federal Cjourts, and the in
effective experience of hther states and
cities — Washington, D. Cl., New York City,
In mention just two — in maintaining pub
lic schools efficiently on sin integrated bas
is. We presume that Mr. Dalton and those
who follow his reasoning will accept, first
a little racial integration in schools, which
will ineviatbly lead to mpre and more in
tegration with its complexities of admin
istration. breeding of rajcial discord, and
loss of efficient operatiop.
The State of Virginia, hinder the consti
tution, is a definite unit cjf government. Its
laws must be effective ii| all parts of the
Ty Cobb, Great American
rJ’Y Cobb, greatest of the! baseball players,
is going home at seventy years of age,
to Rovston, Georgia.
We call attention to Cobb’s retirement
because the greatest of the major league
baseball players has been an example for
others in his successful years following re
tirement. For twenty-one; years he played
with the Detroit Tigers and then, for two
years, with the Philadelphia Athletics, both
teams in the American League.
Many of his records stfill stand, and his
color, spirit and daring op the baseball dia
mond have never been equalled since he left
the game. More that that; Cobb has been a
successful business man j and has lived a
life which is somewhat exemplary.
He is the founder of thje Cobb Education
Fund and is the proud donor of a hospital
he built in his father’s memory at Rovston,
Georgia. In addition to these charitable un
dertakings, Cobb has amassed considerable
private wealth, and constantly uses por
tions of it to support projects of a charita
ble and educational nature.
In other words, the greatest of the major
leaguers on the baseball dianjond has set
just about as enviable a record since his
retirement from the game for his fellow
baseballers to follow as he did when he
burnt up the base paths earlier in the cen
tury.
Commonwealth. There will be no integra
tion at any place in Virginia, or there will
be racial integration in- all parts of Virgin
ia. So, those who would accept, maybe, a
little racial integration in some of the coun
ties with only 25 or 30 Negroes, like Carroll
county, must realize that the schools in
other parts of the state may find much
large percentages. Further, with the in
tegration of public schools integration of
faculties will follow naturally. The pro
, blem becomes more and more complex.
But this is but a part of the question.
The overshadowing phase is the usurpation
of the powers and sovereignty of the states
under the U. S. Constitution. We have seen
no recognized legal authority which has
stated unequivocally that the school de
cision of the Supreme Court on May 17,
1954 is according to law and precedent. The
present trend toward government by judi
cial fiat, executive orders, and bureaucratic
interpretations transcends the question of
racial integration of schools as imminently
important as that is. Our entire system of
government is at stake. Will the constitu
tional republic stand or fall? Will there be
sovereignty of the states or will we submit
to the political whims of an all powerful
juduciary or executive oligarchy? Will
Congress be stripped of its powers, or
through inertia retreat from its duties?
These are questions which can not be an
swered simply by using the school and raci
al issues for political advantages. There is
no way under the sun that the school and
racial issues can be eliminated from the
forthcoming gubernatorial elections, but
for goodness sake do not overlook the im
portant principles of government which
are directly connected with those questions.
We hope Mr. Dalton’s trial balloon ex
plodes, and quickly.
Carolina To California
/'1OL. Robert G. Williams, commander of
^ the Ninth Tactical Reconnaisance
Squadron at Shaw Air Force Base, South
Carolina, reports that an RB-660 recently
made the trip from California to the East
Coast in three hours and twenty-seven min
utes. This is the fastest known time for a
coast-to-coast crossing in an RB-660, and
one of the fastest crossings by any aircraft.
The RB-660 is the reconnaisance version
of Tactical Air Command’s newest bomber.
Captain Arthur F. Smith was the com
mander who flew the 2,3000-miles from
Calfornia to South Carolina in less than
three and a half hours. The pilot took ad
vantage of high speed tail winds at a very
high altitude, which were found in what is
called a jet stream.
The RB-660 carried a crew of seven. Ut
ilizing the same kind of jet streams which
brought it from California to the East
Coast in three hours and twenty-seven min
utes, the bomber could have crossed from
the northeastern tip of the United States
to London in about the same time.
One can see what passenger travel to
Europe will be in a few years when such
aircraft are put into commercial service. A
business man will be able, to leave Boston
early one morning, have lunch in London,
spend a few hours at business and return
to his home in Boston that night.
Babson Discusses Population
Babson Park. Mass., March 211 In
1950. our It S population was about
159.000.000 Today we are 170,000.00
strong and the prospect is that jour
rapid expansion in numbers twill
continue. The 2,000.000 more Ameri
cans added since 1950 are equiva
lent to twice the present population
of the six New England stales
I am told that a baby is borji in ;
this country every eight secopds.'
and that, if present rates of increase
continue, we could well have a popu
lation of 220.000.000 by 1975. This
huge gain means that demand pros
pects for our products are good.
Each new birth, each immigrant,
and each person living a longer) life
than had previously been considered
normal adds to the potential ; de
mand that American manufacturers
and merchants can attempt to .sat
isfy
This growth in population far; ex
ceeds earlier predictions. I well re
member the experts telling usj in
the depression days of the thirties
that ttw U. S. population would hit
a peak—probably around 1980—and
then decline. As I recall it. they
thought that peak might be around
154,000,000— a mark we actually
passed about five years ago
What About Our Labor Force?
The current boom in people is the
result of an unexpectedly high birth
rate and a steadily declining mor
tality. Modern medicine conquers
many of the diseases which in the
past have cut life short. Thus the
area of our greatest population gain
is among the very young and among
our senior citizens. The adults who
form the labor force are a decreas
ing segment of the total population.
That being the case, we should be
more concerned about labor-man
agement relations in future years.
I forecast that labor-force growth
may continue to lag the total popu
lation rise to an increasing degree
during the next twenty years. This
widening gap will create problems
for management except as the auto
matic factory becomes a factor in
the situation. This is especially true
if too small a proportion of the labor
force possess the scientific and engi
neering skills required to keep us
abreast of technological develop
ments.
Instead of paying too . much at
tention to the expensive frills of edu
cation < as we do now >, we need to
encourage high school boys and
girls to become scientists, chemists. I
and engineers, as well as econo
mists. business managers, m e r
chants, and teachers. We ought to
find out whether our schools are ac
tually doing the type of educational
job that needs to be done. If we do*
not mend our ways in this respect,
we shall pay dearly in coming years !
for our foolishness.
I)o More People Mean More Sales?
Growth in population suggests a
rising demand for products and
services. However, we should not be
too quick to assume that this in
crease will always be translated in-!

to actual buying power. Much will
depend on the economic conditions
during the years ahead.
More people will not necessarily
mean more sales if the government
does not curb its spending. Such
spending makes for highly progres
sive taxes which undermine profits
and cripple business incentive.
Neither will more people mean more
sales unless we are able to adjust
as a nation to the vast changes
which are ahead. I have in mind
the further development of atomic
power, automation, speedier trans
port, and other new manufacturing
and marketing techniques. Mere
bigness in numbers and in potential
resources will not assure our pros
perity. Hence, my repeated empha
sis on the need for more religious
training of our children.
Are There too Many People?
Our rapid population growth
scares some folks. They fear we
cannot produce enough food for all
these people. I do not share those
fears. We have learned during and
since World War II how to step up
our crop yields to levels not dream
ed of a generation ago. We now
have food and feed surpluses. In i
gation and phosphate can produce
miracles.
Surely more people in future
years may well solve our current
farm problem of overproduction. In
fact, I forecast that the time is not
far distant when we shall be eagt r
to increase our farm output. We will
step up our crop yields to new rec
ord highs through an intelligent use
of irrigation and fertilizer and other
soil and crop builders. I am opti
mistic about the future of American
farmers.

'Farm Boys Then and Now'
An Answer To
L. D. Whitaker’s
Editor.
The Farmville Herald
I have a boy who's only nine.
His farm life makes him sigh,
He has chores to do every day
As Doc had m days gone by.
He has toilsome tasks to do
That nightly he must repeat:
You see there are still those of us
Who use wood to furnish heat!
The woodshed is still on lots of
farms.
And is yet a scene of toils.
Ours hasn’t yielded to a heating
plant
Which is fed from a tank of oij!
True, he doesn’t walk behind a
plow'.
But there are still chores to do.
He must gather the eggs, feed
chicks and calves,
Then bring in the stove wood
too!
Sure, the bus brings him home
’bout four or so,
I But homework he cannot do
| Till all his farm chores are done.
Then supper he must eat too.
The family eats late as Mom and
kids
All help Dad milk the cows,
Then comes homework and some
times it
Really takes two hours!
; There's many a farm this day and
time
That helps make a man of a
I son.
He grows, and works, and helps
his folks
To get the days work done.
*
; And so. Doc Whitaker.
If homesick for days of yore.
Just come on out to our dairy
farm,
And we'll be glad to give you a
chore!

Comfortable,
Taxpayer?
Editor. The Farmville Herald:
The national budget has reached
such gigantic proportions that the
total is beyond the comprehension
of taxpayers. Not many people have
had experience with even one billion
of anything.
Perhaps this will help to visualize
the meaning of the proposed budget
of $T1.8 billion: Assuming the budget
in silver dollars, it would take 1,292
freight trains of 70 boxcars each,
and each car loaded with 800.000
silver dollars to transport the
amount.
If further visualization is needed,
j $71.8 billion in silver dollars would
j make 72 piles 1,500 miles high. And
i in case you have a billion dollars
and only one billion) hurry around
j to your bank and invest it. even at
only two per cent, and you can sit
back and enjoy life on an income
of nearly $50,000 a day.
Do you still feel comfortable as a
taxpayer? Think it over before you
I answer.

Dickie Is Still the Boss
Editor of the Herald:
My birds have not appeared in
! your paper for some ttme. They are
quite sensitive, and I am afraid
they will not be happy.
Dickie still lives on raisins, and
he called for his breakfast this
morning before I had mine. I served
; him immediately. There are too
many purple grackles visiting me
now. and they are very noisy. Dickie
i cannot drive them away, although
they are not his friends.
Spring flowers are very beautiful
•now. jonquils, forsythias. hyacinths,
japonicas. bridal wreaths, and
others are lovely. This is indeed a
beautiful world, even if we do not
appreciate it as we should.
State birds are quite busy, and
are very handsome, but Dickie is
the boss here.
All of the birds join me in wishing
all of you the best of luck and they
uige you to drive carefully.

Aid Handicapped;
Buy Easter Seals
Editor, The Herald:
Does a lump ever come into your
throat when some helplessly crip
pled fellow-being shambles by, and
do you silently give thanks that you
are not so inescapably burdened?
Poor indeed in spiritual wealth is
the man or woman whose sympa
thies are not touched by the plight
of one who has been crippled, and
thus handicapped in the job of earn
ing a living. And how much greater
is the tug at our hearts at the sight
of a crippled child.
There are many millions of crip
pled children in the United States.
Some have been handicapped from
birth; others fell victim to disabling
diseases and accidents. Some of
these can be restored to normal by
trained therapists and the miracle
of modern medicine. Those less for
tunate can—and should—be trained
to earn their own living and enjoy
happy, useful lives in spite of their
handicaps. They all deserve that
chance, for their handicap is no
fault of their own.
It takes lots of money to provide
the medical care and specialized
training necessary. That's why the
National Society for Crippled Chil
dren and Adults and its local mem
ber agencies conduct an Easter Seal
campaign each spring.
It is appropriate that this laud
able fund-raising campaign should
be conducted at this time of year,
when the Christian world is cele
brating the resurrection of Him who
said, “Suffer the little children to
[come unto Me."
| By buying and using Easter Seals.
1 you may help train a special thera
pist for crippled children; it may
i help pay for an operation or a brace
to free a crippled child from con
jfinement in bed: it may train some
j youngster for an occupation he can
aake up in spite of his handicaps.
Through your Easter Seal contri
bution, you can help start some crip
pled children on the road to com
plete recovery and others on the
way to useful, happy lives. The crip
pled child cannot help himself. But
! you can help him—by giving gen
: erously.
Cordially yours.

Marker At
Hunting1 Tower
Editor. The Parmville Herald:
I enjoyed the sketeh of Peter
Francisco in your issue of March !.
There is a correction T'd like to
make Hunting Tower 'not Towers .
the home of Judge Anthony Winston,
was at New Store. The site of the
old home is about half way between
Sheppards and New Store. After the
war Peter operated a tavern at New
Store and he was certainly living
there in 1821 and 1822 as shown by
the list of purchases from the store
of my grandfather. William Dibrell
Jones.
My cousin, Mrs. Nannie Francisco
Porter, the author of the ‘'Roman
tic Record of Peter Francisco” was
confused as to the location of Hunt
ing Tower. She confused it with
Locust Grove. I called this to her
attention and she said she would
correct future issues of her book.
It appears that Peter lived for a
t’me at Curdsville. See “Today and
Yesterday."
It is unfortunate. T think, that so
| much has been written about his
feats of strength—throwing horses
and cannons around—and so little
done to work out a chronological
list of his homes, land ownings, oc
cupation. family, etc.
I have a thick lde on Peter Fran
1 cisco and have recently acquired a
j lithograph of his exploit at Ward's
tavern. See copy of this picture on
■page 36 of Virginia Cavalcade 'au
tumn, l'Cil .
Now, a marker of some sort
should be placed at the site of Hunt
ing lower, and one at thd site of his
I tavern at New Store 'just where
the road turns off to New Store
Church.
With very best wishes.

MISS MARY DOUGLAS FINCH, who has
spent most of the years since her graduation
from Longwood C ollege in Japan, spoke on “In
sights Gained In Living Abroad ' Saturday at
the 73rd Founder's Day session.
DR. T. >1. SIMPSON, retired dean of Ran
dolph-Macon College in Ashland, spoke Saturday
at the dedication of the Minnie Vaughn Rice
parlor. Simpson, a former student of .'Miss Rice,
«as the Hirst student at Farmville High School.
East Does Meet West in Japan Today,
Miss Finch Tells Longwood Alumnae
Signs of a new day are goiils up
in Japan alongside the Buddhist
temples. Miss Mary Douglas Finch
told a Founder's Day audienqe at
Longwood College Saturday.
"Despite Rudysrd Kipling's claim
that 'East is East and West is west,
and never the twain shall meet.’
East and West have met in Japan."
she said "Japan is an important
. interpreter of Western ways to the
East."
The Longwood graduate, home for
her class reunion, told of the fcora
bination of the old and the nekv in
Japan, of students dressed Western
style silting on the floors of crowded
rooms, listening to Western sympho
nies and warming themselves in
front of charcoal braziers.
Occupation Rc-Doublcd Influence
Japan has been under American
influence for a century, but that in
fluence was re-doubled with! the
military occupation following World
War II
M’ss Finch b id of the reforms
superimposed on the post jv a r
schools, reforms which for the jniost
1 part were discarded at the end of
the occupation. Some innovations
did stick. Those were the emphasis
placed on democratic spirit, an ex
tension of compulsory education
from the sixth to the ninth grade,
group instruction, co - educational
schools and social science courses.
Despite the surface upheaval,
feudalism still has a stronghold
among the Japanese. Shinto, the
ethnic cult and religion which the
occupation tried to wipe out. re
mains. So do arranged marriages
and the Confucian code, with its
emphasis upon the family first.
The sister of Dr A. Tyree Finch,
of Farmville. told her audience that
the chief gains of the occupation
have not been in the field of edu
cation.
Agrarian reforms have had a
marked effect upon the Japanese
economy, and the virtual emanci
pation of women is beginning to bo
felt. There are already more women
in the Japanese Diet than there are
women in the U. S. Congress.
Tin'n are still problems in inter
national relationships, Miss Finch
said.
American Gadget Civilization
“Sometimes it was humiliating to
see ourselves as others see us." she
said. “American technology and
wealth is so spectacular to the Jap
anese that they can see little else.
They see us as representatives of a
gadget civilization, without c u 1
ture.
"Always there is enthusiasm for
America, but the -e is also appre
hension and chagrin that Japan is
so molded by an America which
seems indifferent," she reported.
Miss Finch and other Americans
in Japan tried to bridge the gap by
entertaining Japanese in their
homes and studying their customs.
She also translated letters of the
Hiroshima maidens, brought to
Mount Sinai hospital for treatment
by Norman Cousins, of the Saturday
Review.
“There is an implication that the
American way is superior, but we
just don't understand their ways,”
Miss F’inch said.

PAC Meeting
(Continued from page 1)
and in full.
Surprise Skit
Ad^jng a little life to the dry
figures that always accompany a
financial report. J. F. Glenn, secre
tary-treasurer of the organization,
joined with sereral of the stock
holders to present his report in a
question-and-answer type program.
As Glenn started to present the
report, several of the members be
gan interrupting him. and they, in
fact, caused quite a sensation be
fore the audience caught on that it
was planned beforehand. As the
questions came in, it became ap
parent that the 1956 report was a
favorable one, but the net income
was lower than the preceding year.
Glenn explained that the reason for
this was the fact that the cost of
the money the association had to
borrow had increased and this
caused the net earnings to drop
considerably,
Glenn said that the solution was
to increase the number of loans be
ing made by the association. He
said he did not mean for the mem
bers to borrow more money, but
suggested that they steer their
friends to the association to borrow
money. He said the way to increase
the income was to do so without In
creasing the expenses, and they
need more business to operate more
efficiently.
Using a chart that went back to
1950, the secretary-treasurer showed
where the interest income of the
PCA had increased from $33,403 in
1950 io $60,950 in 1956. However, the
interest expenses also increased
from $12,792 to $32,250. “The as
sociation was borrowing money at
two per cent in 1950." he said, “but;
it is now being borrowed at three i
and four per cent." The average!
percentage being paid by the PCA
member has also risen from five to :
six per cent in the last six years.
Urges Local Independence
In the featured talk. Congressman
Abbitt used the PCA and NFLA as
a shining example of what people
can-do when they work together. He
pointed with pride to the fact that
this organization is entirely owned
by the farm citizens of this area.
He warned the citizens of the
state to watch out for Federal aid
with the advice not "To look to
Washington for something f. r e e.
When it comes from Washington."
he emphasized, “you have to pay
and pay through the nose for it."
Abbitt was firm in w arning
against Federal aid for s c h o ols.
“There is no such thing as aid with
out control," he shouted to the
audience. He pointed to the Federal
highway system as another example
of the power and spending that
characterizes the present adminis
tration. “For every $100 collected
for the highway we get back only
$60 to be used," he said. "The other

Budget too High
In his direct assault on the huge
federal budget. Abbitt said. “We
can't allow the Federal Government
to break our economy by spending
too much. We must compel the Gov
ernment to spend less," he empha
sized.
The plight of the farmers is that
of a person caught in a vise. Abbitt
said. He described the farmer as
in a price cost squeeze. "What he
sells brings less and less and what
he buys costs more and more."
said the popular Fourth District
congressman.
He advocated throwing open the
markets of the world to allow the
products of the free American
farmers to be sold to the starving
hordes that populate the rest of the
world. By having a free market, not
only would the farmer be able to
produce all he could, but the coun
tries that are plagued by famines
could feed their citizens.
He said the picture of free trade
is clouded by the "conflict of the
free world and communist power
| seekers:"

Attack Federal Judge
Part cf the statement adopted
was apparently aimed at Federal
Judge Walter E. Hoffman, of Nor

school authorities should ignore
state segregation laws.
The Defenders said they decried
"the use by the federal judiciary of.

lawful authority of the Virginia,

TO PROVE TO YOU WHAT THE
EXPERTS ALREADY KNOW ABOUT
AMERICA’S NUMBER© ROAD CAR!
iL tit ^
First the automotive writers said, "Keep your eye on Pontiac . . .
this one's a sleeper''! Then the California Highway Patrol
chose Pontiac after three days of grueling competitive tests of
six of America's top performers. Next, in the top stock car event of
the year, NASCAR's 160-mile Daytona Grand National*,
Pontiac outperformed everything on the beach including
super-charged and fuel injection cars!
NOW IT’S YOUR TURN—Slip into that roomy driver's seat. Gently’
nudge the accelerator and feel Pontiac's barrel-chested 347 cu. in.
Strato-Streak V-8 go into action. Put its instant response
and Precision-Touch Control to a traffic test. Choose your own
rough stretch and feel it disappear under Pontiac's Level-Line
Ride. Then head for the open road and give that deep-breathing
power plant a chance to show its mettle in the fresh open air.
Man —you've got a champ on your hands for sure! And to make it
even more fun—there's a chance to win a free Pontiac! Just follow
the instructions at the right— you may be a winning driver!
HERE’S ALL YOU DO! j
Go to your nearest
authorized Pontiac dealer J
during April and test drive \
the 1957 Pontiac.

Fill out the official entry j
blank and deposit H with
