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.
