not enter because of the smoke.
She believes one of the older chil

fire in the house she said was in
a small tin stove.
Deputy Sheriff Jack Overton
said the bodies of the children
were recovered near the back door,

Amelia's Parent-Teacher Associa

In other action last wc-k th"
United States Supreme Court : -
fused to review lower court ord

(i'-'t.'g regal ion in their public
schools.
This means, in. effect, that as
soon as the court mandate is re
layed via the P lurth Circuit Court
of Appeal to the District Courts
in the two localities, the desegre
gation others become operative.
The desegregation orders of the
Federal court were stayed pending
compleUtion of the appeal pro
cess,
Charlottesville is under the Fed
eral District court order of Judge
John Paul to begin desegregation
of its schools as of last Septem

Judge Albert V. Bryan, was sup
pa.- d to de.v gr'gate its elemen

Us high . ciiools by September

the Federal Courts that the Su
preme Court refused to review.
Lack Lower to \ct
However, the school boards of
Arlington county and Charlottes
ville. cannot by Virginia State
law make any changes in the
placement of pupils in the public
schools. All applications of Ne
groes for admission to white
schools must be referred to the
Stati- Pupil Placement Board.
This is the opinion given to the
school boards by Virginia Attorney
General J. Lindsay Almond.
To further confuse the picture.
F n ral Judo' W.Iter E. H Tinian
of N >ifolk lam decliired the Vir
ginia Pup.i Placemen; Act uncon
stitutional on its face. This deci
;. being appealed to the Cir
ca.: C n t of Appeals.
V < . Case Parallel
Meantime. Almond .said, the act
clearly divests local school au
thorities of any power to make
assignments or tiansfer pupils
from one school to another.
In other action that sheds some
light on the Virginia pupil place
ment laws, the U, S. Supreme
Court refused an appeal by a
group of N i-gro parents seeking
admission of their children to a
white school in North Carolina,
on tiie grounds that the group had
not used all administrative reme
dies open to them under the pupil
assignment act of North, Carolina.
G'orrc B Patton. Attorney
General of North Carolina, said
was his opinion that the rul
ing means that the Supreme
Court regards the pupil placement
law as constitutional.

rols and supports go hand in hand.
Consequently, neither consumers
nor producers are free to exercise
'heir best judgments as to what
shall be produced, how much, and
oy whom. Under these conditions
he responsibility for making these
decisions is given to select men.
Thus clothed with authority they
Tiust act as though somebody knows
moie than everybody.
Whep prices are supported above
what consumers are willing to pay
hey look for cheaper sources of
upply and substitute products. Syn
hetics flourish while cotton suffers,
hleo spreads while butter spoils. Ex
port markets disappear as other
■ountries expand their production
f cotton, tobacco, wheat, etc.
Similarly, as production allot
ments are reduced farmers find
vays to produce more per acre.
They also bid up the price for al
'otted acres in an effort to buy fast
enough to keep their rights from
>eiiig reduced through cuts.
Thus, production is not permitted
o decrease in proportion to re
duced allotments. Meanwhile, cost
per unit of product does not de
ciease as might be expected. To the
extent that total production is re-1
duced and costs fail to decline pro-:
oortionally the farmer's net income
is lowei. Producers strive to keep
production up despite acreage re
ductions. and to this extent contrib
ute to the need for further cuts and
expand surplus supplies.
In order to spare small pro
ducers there is a minimum below
which their allotments may not b<
cut. Those whose allotments arr
above the minimum bear the brim1
of cuts until all become so small
'hat the minimum has to be lowered
Burley tobacco affords a typical il
lustration of what happens. A few
years ago the minimum allotmen*
was 0.9 an acre. It was reduced to
0.7 an acre In 1955 it was further
educed to 0.5 an acre. Now more |
than 60 per cent of some 300,0001
farms, or about 180.000, have allot- ;
menis of 0.5 an acre or less.
This is essentially a process for '
rationing poverty and outlawing ef- ;
firiency which would otherwise be :
■xpected. It denies the right to com- i
peie and limits opportunity. Those ;
growers of tobacco and other com-;
moclities who could produce them
as cheaply as they can be grown

tory incomes than now. are denied
'he freedom to do so. Meanwhile,
consumers of these products are

sumers have less to spend for other
‘hings which they might buy.
This inability to buy other things
keeps the standard of living from

able to make savings new jobs pro

farmers have less opportunity to

Meanwhile, farmers find it very
iifUcult to shift the fragments of
cropland resulting from reduced al

New Berlin-Helmstedt Autobahn
Lings Berlin, Germany, and Freedom
Bv NORMAN LINDHCRST
(Farmville Herald
Foreign Correspondent)
Berlin. April 1 — Loudspeakers
blare jazz as you drive up to the
big orange and black billboard ex
tending a "Hearty Welcome to the
German Democratic Republic.”
The republic referred to is not
West Germany but Communist East
Germany. The welcome sign marks
the stretch of the best-known single
stretch of highway behind the Iron
Curtain—the 110 mile Hclmsted-Ber
lin autobahn.
In the past this highway was a
favored object of Communist threats
and harassment. During the Berlin
blockade of 1948-1949 it was closed
entirely to Western travel
For the last year, however, the
Communists have abstained from
interference with traffic on this
West Berlin-West German lifeline.
And, for what it is worth, there is
no interference with traffic on the
road today, despite Soviet Zone un
rest.
Traffic, much oi it ihick traffic
is flowing smoothly. West German
and West Berlin passenger cars are
'Pin" cleared at both ends of the
autobahn with minimum delay.
It is the smoothest ride anywhere
behind the Iron Curtain—but the
Curtain is still there. Despite the
music and the big welcome sign
ravelers still must undergo one of
he most thorough customs checks
n Europe.
And there are periodic traffic
■hecks as you proceed along the 110
miles. The East Germans want to
be sure you haven't picked up a
Soviet Zone subject along the high
way, or some illicit cargo.
Police and East German troops
are about en force the entire length
of this "nightmare highway." They
appear to be more a feature of
Soviet Zone life, however, than a
highway guard force.
The drive to Berlin dramatizes
'he economic contrast between West
and East Germany Alone the auto
bahn, in West Germany, the fields
are filled with tractors, in Eas'
Germany, with horses. Not a piece
of modern agricultural machinery
is to be seen along the entire 110
mile route.
Most shocking is the position of
women in the Soviet Zone economy
Women make up three-quarters of
the labor force in the field and or
autobahn repair crews.
Women perform the heaviest re
pair tasks, breaking concrete, push
ing wheelbarrows and heating tar
Mothers and daughters work to
gether in the fields.
Chic is not the word for East
German women, not those you scr
working on the autobahn and in the
fields. Wearing work trousers
leavy sweaters and caps, they can
lardly be distinguished from tin
men.
Even the autobahn traffic drama
izes the contrast between the two
Germanys. West German cars are
pew. most of them big. and the
autobahn is thick with them. Eas!
German cars are few. mainly of
prewar vintage, and small.
Prewar, this stretch of autobahn
boasted a chain of elaborate gaso
line stations and restaurants. Today,
pnlv a few are open. None have
had repairs since the war.
The autobahn is in bad shape
The work under way is piecemeal
and insufficient. After nearly four
years, however, the East Germans
have completed reconstruction of
| the warjd estroyed Elbe Rivet
: bridge.
Th;s wins the celebvated bridg’f
'hat Marshall Vassily Sokolovsky
j ‘hen military governor of East Get
manv. used as the pretext for clos
png the autobahn during the block
* ode. The marshal ruled the tem
I oorarv rbilitarv structure then in
I use “too frail.”
i After the blockade was lifted, the
b-idce was found to be rugged
enough for continued use, and used
*t was until the new concrete and
steel structure was completed a
vear ago,
In another direction. East Ger
many's Communists have been in
ordinately industrious along the
autobahn. Not even Italy or the
United States have more signs ad
vertising East Germany's major
product—Communism.
Autobahn bridges are draped with
banners exhorting' “Demand pro
hibition of the Atom Bomb." or
“Join the Fight for Peace.” Road
ie signs advise: “We Autobahn
Workers Stand Ready to Defend the
Peace"
Even on the autobahn there is a
glimmering of the liberalization bo
ng introduced into Communist life.
The speed limit used to be 50 miles
in hour. A few weeks ago it was
rased to 60.

Speed—Speed—Speed
WTTH the new high-powered automobiles
and the modern highways speed regu
lations are exceeded almost unconsciously.
The new cars cruise around 55 miles an
hour and with just a little bit of pressure
on the accelerator the heavy cars will de
velop speeds of 60, 65, 70 miles an hour
with little realization of speed to those rid
ing. The driver must keep an eye on the
peedometer constantly. On a iong stretch
of open road, relatively free of traffic,
many drivers unconsciously add that extra
pressure on the accelerator, and then—the
speed limit is exceeded.
This observation is not written in defense
i 1' the Secret Service man, who was driving
the limousine of President Eisenhower at
speeds of 70 miles an hour last Friday. He
should have had better control of his in
clination to press a little harder under such
conditions. We do not believe the President
realized that his car was breaking the au
thorized speed limit unnecessarily.
However, we do know that the tendency
to speed is there. It is in just such places
on open roads,, traffic free, that the State
Police often set up the “whammy”. Too
often the State Police set the “whammy”
at the bottom of a long hill, knowing full
well that careful and otherwise prudent
drivers are prone to let the cars gain speed
going down a long decline. When this is
done we call this a speed trap.
State Police would have a much greater
influence in regulating speed if they would
patrol the highways, and make themselves
seen at the danger points, rather than set
the “whammy speed traps.” When tourists
begin to make the north-south drive to
Florida or on the return trip, “whammy
traps” seem to appear. This may be the
way to control speedsters but it is not good
public relations for the State or the com
munity.
What we are saying here does not per
tain to excessive speeds — by excessive
speeds we would judge a sustained speed
above 65 miles an hour on the long straight
stretches. In fact, in areas of light traffic
and excellent road conditions, a bit of lati
tude should be given thd motorist who
drives carefully. A reckless driver has no
place on the highway at any speed.
Highway safety is an important matter
and needs to be taught at the same time
that it is enforced. It can not be success
fully taught with “whammy traps.”
Mutual Responsibility
rriHE Eisenhower Administration proposed
^ that states be required to pay at least
twenty-five per cent of the c<jst of drought
and farm disaster relief programs. The
proposal is, in effect, a state's rights pro
posal which takes the Federall Government
o t of the position of being Santa Glaus,
doling out untold sums oT money to vari
ous states when the states are often not
helping themselves.
The Federal proposal means that the U.
S. Government will pay as mulch as seventy
five per cent of drought and disaster relief
program costs, but it makes, it clear that
>uld mo\e to
their own citrons when drought or other
disaster strikes their area.
One of the disappointing things discov
ered when President Eisenhower and other
members of the Administration toured the
Southwest recently, inspecting d r o u g h t
conditions, was the fact that some states in
that area were doing .very little to help
their citizens, even though they were in dire
need of relief.
The new farm relief program is partly
a result of this tour and while it is realized
that the Federal Government has some re
sponsibility in moving to relieve an emer
gency which afflicts farmers in a drought
er disaster area, the states also haw
some responsibility. If the state is not will
ing to put up twenty-five cents of every
dollar for relief of its own citizens, then
that state is not entitled to the other seven
ty-five cents being furnished by monies col
lected from all forty-eight states.
Keep Informed
|\NE of the fascinating things about life
■ i the constant realization, among in
iTligent people, that few arguments and
■sic< are ever clear cut and that few final
i inclusions or rules can be laid down in
bmket fashion to cover a muss portion of
t be population on any major question.
What wo are getting at is: the fact that
tb. older and wiser one gets, the more he
realizes his limitations. The wiser the man,
1 e more readily he realizes the compara
i ' fly small quantity of knowledge at his
■ mmand.
In talking with others, if you will note
r readiness to be positive about their
mo ments, or their conclusions, you can
m’v determine the depth of their phil
‘ipbv and the amount of wisdom they
we acquired over the years. Those who
■■ays feel sure they have the answers are
’ 'st often the ones who are actually be
\\ Idered and in need of further enlighten
ment.
Likewise, those who should make an ef
fort to improve their minds, and add to
their knowledge and education, are often
the ones who are completely content never
to read worthwhile books, look over the
news intelligently or try to draw conclu
sions of their own.
Admittedly, we live in a complex world
and it is hard to know who is telling the
truth, who really knows the score, what to
read and where to find it. A general ap
proach which might be of value to readers
is that which includes keeping up with the
news by devoting a few minutes each day
to a newspaper, listening'to several news
commentators, with different political phil
osophies, and reading a stimulating book
every month or two. Then, weigh all the
opinions and arguments, think for yourself
and make your own decisions.
Hcihsnn Discusses Making a Fortune In the Stock Market
Bnb.M-ti Park, Mass.. March 28
N.r.etv per cent of investments are
made haphazardly. Sometimes they
made on the advice of em
vees of brokerage firms. It. how
ever. will usually be found that
these men have been unable to
make and keep any money for
themselves. *
Importance of Patience, Hope
The selfish, shortsighted person
seldom makes much money in the
stock market, and keeps it only by
sheer luck Most of the real for
tunes of today came from the funda
mental desire to render service and
\e “for value received" help to:
A panicky market or 2 a new
and useful industry. The first can
be accomplished by anyone with
patience and hope: the second
sometimes fails because of poor'
judgment or because one is too
early or too late
Both of the above two methods!
of making money require courage,
hope, and patience. It takes courage
to sell stocks and "store up" cash
during a bull market when most
people are very optimistic: and it
J
takes courage to buy stocks again,
one or two years later, when most
people are bearish. Furthermore,
the waiting period between these
right times to sell and buy requires
patience and hope. However, the
person who follows either of the
above methods renders an impor
tant service; namely, his selling
'helps make the boom less danger
ous. and his buying helps check the
panic For this service an investor
always receives a handsome re
ward.
Selling High and Buying Low
It is important that an invel t
decide in advance winch of the
above two methods he is to follow.
It is difficult to mix the two meth
ods. If you are to follow the first,
of "selling high and buying low.”
it is usually best to confine your
holdings to the a c t i v e popular
Stocks, perhaps those known as the
"blue chips'; while the second
method often requires buying stocks
of new and smaller companies with
inactive markets. All purchases
Should be confined to listed stocks.
In either case, never buy on mar
gin or borrowed money. For re
i suits with this first method, under
the very best conditions—which no
one could expect to duplicate—$100
could increase to $90,000 in 40 years,
not considering either taxes or divi
dends. To show the great spread in
price of some of the best single
stocks, fte following figures are
most interesting: —
For instance. Genera! Electric,
now quoted around 55, but selling
due to stock splits at an equivalent
of 165. sold for 9 during the thirties.
Texas Company stock, now selling
at an equivalent of 248, then sold at
10. Deere and Company, now selling
at an equivalent of 180, then sold
at 4. Du Pont, now selling at an
equivalent of 720, then sold at 22.
General Motors, now selling at an
equivalent of 240, then sold at. 8:
while Radio Corporation, now sell
ing at 33. then sold at 3.

Letters To Editor
Humane Methods
Needed in Slaughter
Editor. The Farmville Herald,
I read with interest. Mr. Ogie
vie's letter on the cruelties of the
American slaughter houses
The House Agriculture Com
mittee has scheduled a hearing
on humane slaughter bills April
2
I urge readers to write at once
to Representative Watkins M. Ab
bitt. House Office Building, Wash
ington, D. C.. asking him to sup
port H. R. 3029 or similar legisla
tion to stop the cruelties of the
slaughter houses. Mr. Abbitt is a
member of the Agriculture Com
mittee of the House of Represent
atives. This committee has almost
power to determine whether Con
gress will pass a humane slaugh
ter law this year.
I am giving some methods list
ed by the Humane Society used
by most slaughter houses.
"In some slaughter houses
lambs and calves are jerked off
tile floor and hung by one leg.
like hogs before being "stuck." In
other plants these infant animals
are violently thrown to the floor
the head is pulled back almost to
the shoulders, and the throat cut.
The lamb or calfeffes on the floor
until it bleeds slowly into uncon
sciousness and dies. Last year our
slaughter houses did this to about
10.000.000 calves and 90.000.000
lambs,"
"Cattle are more trouble to the
slaughter house than are hogs,
lambs, and calves. In most
slaughter houses, the animal is
first driven into a "knocking" p* n
— a pen narrow enough to hold
the animal under close control.
Along side the pen. on a slight
ly raised platform, stands a man
who is called a "knocker.” The
knocker uses a long handled
sledge hammer or axe to knock
the animal to the floor.
When the big animal is finally
! "immobilized," as the slaughter
[men say 'the animals are not al
ways unconscious >, it is dragged
out of the knocking pen. Then its
throat is cut.
i Last year about 20,000.000 cat
I tie went through this process in
i American slaughter houses.
The precedures described above
; are the ordinary routine of our
i billion-dollar meat packin: in
dustry. But the animals going to
their death are often not given
the "benefit" of the routine.
! A U. S. Department of Agrieul
ture inspector who has worked in
many packing plants in the las
25 yeaiis wrote to the Human
Society lof the United States:
“When calves are slaughter!
| they are shackled and pulled up
j to an over head rail and bled
: Sometimes the hind feet an
skinned out and cut off while
the animal is stilt alive and they
j come out on the floor by a moving
I chain still kicking
This same man not an t-mo
: tional layman but a man who
: lias worked in slaughter hous s
I for a quarter of a century —
wrote:
"I have seen cattle which were
knocked with the hammer and
| rolled out on tire floor and hunt
up for bleeding after sticking,
. and the header started to skin
, out the head while the animal
| was still alive and was trying to
bellow."
"Speaking in terms of moral
ity. our nation long ago outlawed
cruelty to animals. Every one of
the major religions of our people
names cruelty a sin. Every state
of the Union, and the Fedral gov
ernment itself have declared in
a multitude of laws that cruelty
to animals is impermissible.
All thoughtful persons recog
nize that cruelty is an evft that
should be eradicated from our so
ciety, not merely for the sake of
the animals but for our own
good. We know that cruelty

i causes in the perpetrator a moral

Tomorrow Bright In
Hands of
Today’s Youth
Editor of The Farmville Herald
My wife and I have just return
ed from chaperoning a group of
fourteen Cumberland High School
Beta Club members at Hate-wide
Beta Club convention at the John
Marshall Hotel in Richmond.
Since there were over 1300
teen-ages at this convention, we
feel that we had ample opportun
ity for observing the youth of to
day and the leadi: of tomorrow.
It was an enlightening experience
for me and 1 wish every adult
could have observed this group at
work and at play. These young
people seem to know where they
are going, how they will get there,
and who is going with them. They
know right from wrong and good
from bad.
The behavior of the entire
group could have put to shame
many adult conventions of equal
size. I can't say that these young
people were not noisy. It is dif
ficult to imagine the roar of their
laughter, the ring of their song,
and the boom of their applause.
It may also be hard to believe
that this same noisy group can be
a most attentive audience, and
that from its rankg come digni
fied. capable, and serious speak
ers. Many adults would fall short
if placed in competition with this
group, whether in behavior or in
capabilities.
The parents of the fourteen
Cumberland High School students
whom we chaperoned may well be
proud of them. We found their
standards high and their behavior
I irreproachable. They were poised
and dignified when the occasion
required it. and were ready for
fun when the time came for that.
In a body they attended every
session of the convention without
being told to cio so. They sought
the front rows and were on time
for every meeting. Mrs. Putney
almost disgraced me by being the
only one even a tiny bit late for
a meeting. Of course she had an

Turn Your Dollar
On Us Back
Many of your readers have nev
er taken time to look, at the back
of their tax dollar or translate the
Latin inscription thereon.
It says: “ANNUIT COEPTIS
NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM
MDCCLXXVI. '
Translation reads, “God lias
favored our undertaking—A new
order of the Ages, 1776."
* The designer intended the dol
lar for the citizens who won their
freedom, and for those to follow,
the whole hundred cents of it,
not just the residue after taxes.
We need flocks of Byrds and
Abbitts, just like the Men of '76
needed volunteers.

They are meticulously fashioned in glove-finished
fabrics of broadcloth or Nylon, with backs
topped in supple, hand-buffed leather.
They are thickly layered with con
toured foam rubber. They are wide,
deep, superbly soft.
- The doors present a new standard of
luxury and restful ness —fully uphol
stered and softly cushioned from floor line to
window.
Tire instrument panel, below the safely cushion,
is chromed from end to end. The cl p nil
carpeting is backed by foam. The integral cm

The new endorsements are the in

compulsory automobile insurance,
which has been tried in several
states. A bill calling for such com

was defeated. The bill would have
made the annual license fee $11 in
stead of $10 with the extra dollar
going into' a fund for reimburse

Mr. and Mrs. Earl T. Agee re
turned Friday from the Professional
Photographers association of
America convention and the inter
national photographic exposition in
Washington. D. C. The professional
photographers convention is an an
nual event. The organization has
been known as the Photographers
Association of America, but since
there are so many non-professional
photographers, it was agreed to
change the name to the Professional
Photographers Associatio n of
America. The prime function of the
organization is to promote more
ethical, professional photographic
businesses, as contrasted to the
cheaper volume operator who sells
only mass produced photography.
At the exposition. 47 countries were
represented, with displays of then
latest products and actual pictorial
scenes from several countries.
