“Ik Is Risen"
I St. Matt. 28:6)
It was Bishop Stridcr who wrote Without Easter there
is no understanding of Good Friday, and apart from Good
Friday Easter is only a dream.
On Good Friday we see the utter hopelessness and de
spair of the disciples as they stand about the Cros and realize
what is talon-1 place. Surelv they must have thought that evil
was great'* titan good. That
man was mightier than God. Per
haps. as of old. someone in the
crowd cried “Where is now thy
God?"
Here the One they had looked
upon for leadership, for strength
in their struggle to establish the
kingdom, was suffering the agony
of crucifixion. Tritely it was a
dark hour to those who had for
saken all to follow Him. Pilate,
the Roman Governour. the High
Priest and tilt1 Phari.se s. the
Church of the hour, were tri
umphant over the Son' of God.
Vindicated!
On Easter the profound truth
was revealed and confirmed,
they, the disciples experienced
the vindication of God's Word.
Now they knew that goodness was
greater than evil: that God was
mightier than man. In the dawn
.of that Easter morning the little
band of disciples and the few
faithful women came to rcaliz-1
the true meaning of the Cross,
and. the death of Jesus.
Now* God is vindicated and His
Word stands forth in new power!
Now tin disciples call answer the
i:;■:;• c gi: \ g lixuplc-. k' -a
that God is in the Risen Chris'
carry n out IBs Covenant and
bringing. Lmht and Life and Im
mortality to all mankind!
In the Cross goodness and i‘H•
and righteousness w ere not di -
feated. they had triumph d Nru
in the Cross was drat viet eg, c
Man w ;s made for life- and not
death. Tim grave is not the true
destiny of man. Cltri -t Our Pass
over" is not dead but. alive for
evermore and. because He lives
we shall live also.
Never Forget
Let us never forget that there
could be no Easter in the life of
Oui Blessed Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ without Good Friday.
And remember, neither you or I
could find the joy and blessed as
surance of the Ri.-en Christ in
our hearts without our Good Fri
day Our death unto the old man
and old being through Baptism,
made us new creatures in Christ
Jesus. "We being buried with
Chris: ;n His death, may also be
I
partaken of His resurrection. Be
ing dead unto sin and alive unto
righteousness.”
This is the paradox which for
ever lies at the heart of the life
of the Church, the paradox of the
Cross. Thus, by the love and
mercy of our Heavenly ratio r.
we today paw- from the dorkivss
of the Cross into tic glorious
light of this Faster mornin c
Therefore, let us go forte well
humble and contrite hearts, yet
rejoicin'• and full of courageous
faith, unto the daily toils of life

arid improved roads.
With the public's wishes known
following Tlnir.sti::y> li.oc. iy
hearing the board will .- -k to
complete its selections between
now and July 1 when the highway
year commences.
A chief difficulty s the one e >r
cent limitation placed by law on
the portion of toe annual^, ali-k
in lit wh ch can be used for new
roads. The law is specific in re-,
quirmg tlie preponderant portion'
going into maintaining existing
roads.
Even within that rigid frame
work. tlie county has achieved
above-average n suits, according
to Resident Engineer J. L Parker's
summary at tlie board hearing last
week. Of the county's 318.66 miles
of secondary roads, 44.3 per cent
is surfaced, and bv the end of the
year this should be increased to
47.9 per cent. Parker said.
Of tlie county's roads having a
traffic count of as much as 50
vehicles a day. only 10.12 miles
are not surface-treated. Parkei
that percentage of improved
roads is "well above the average
for counties in this section.”
Citizens were present last
Thursday requesting work in each
of the county's magisterial dis
trict.-. Among roads on which iin
’ provemen: - were asked are Routes
049 in Prospect district; 617. 612
and 605 in Lockett; 632. 613. 623

to instigate changes. Most advances
in better standards in our homes,
recreation, social life, school con

FARM PRICE
OUTLOOK
I ___ J
This is the way prospects for Virginia farm prices looked
lo the Virginia Department ol Agriculture on Friday. The De
partment offers it to .armers with thq warning that no one can
predict prices and he right all the time.
Hogs
Hoc prices ar>- probably in an
adjustment period right now. just
before starting the upgrade which
should reach a peak in June We
lock for a week or so of fluctuations
as price reacts to daily and w; ekly
receipts.
But supplies are about ready to
start m the summer decline, and
the longer you can hold on to hogs
without getting into the overweight
discounts, the better off you should
be.
Don't go the other way, either,
marketing at too light weights Pre
ferred range is 180 to 220 pounds.
Prices last week were Virginia
auctions. 10 cents lower at $17.90
top: Richmond yards, up 50 cents,
$18.25 to $18.75: Baltimore, 75 cents
to $1 higher at $19-$19.25: and Wes
tern markets generally 50 cents
higher at $18.25 to $18.75.
Last year the Baltimore April
average was about $16. Virginia

auctions $15.50 top By the end of
..May. the price had moved up to
■i$]8 .29 and stayed about there the
first half of June.
- Wool
It looks kke the wool market this
year will be comparatively good.
Demand outlook is brightened
some by a two per cent drop in
wool production last year, plus a
two per cent drop in sheep produc
tion this year.
The weekly review of the Boston
market on Friday showed country
buyers of fleece wool paying mostly
50 cents on a grease basis.
A rule to remember: when you
sell wool, save the receipt showing
poundage, price and buyer's signa
ture. And. the more you get paid,
the more yotir incentive payment
will be For information, check with
your ASC office.
Lamb
Lamb prices are now showing the
; usual pre-Easter gains, and ought
to continue to strengthen on into
May. Keep in mind that May usu
ally brines the price peak.
In Winchester last week, one 98
pound average lot brought $25.50;
choice grade averaged $25.60. In
Chicago, good and choice. 82 to 93
pounds were $24 to $26.
Prices have been improving for
the past month, and at the end of
March midwest markets were about
$4 better than the same week last
| year. Retail demand is good, helped
along by promotions, and one per
.cent fewer early lambs in the U.S
i adds a strengthening note
State graded spring lamb sales
| are set for Richmond and Winches
ter on April 15. Again a warning:
keep slaughter lamb receipts so you
can get your incentive payments.
Turkeys
If you have breeder hens you are
moving out. do it in the next ten
‘ days.
Just before Easter is historically
a bright spot in the spring turkey
market. At least the after-Easter
price doesn’t hold much hope for
outdoing the pre-Easter one. One
' lot of Beltsville breeder hens sold

Muddy Creek Church, Once Scene
Of Lee's Worship, May Be Torn Down
By MRS. GRACE WRIGHT
One of the area's oldest churches
aces possible destruction as the
result of a woman's will.
Muddy Creek Baptist church at
rrenholm. now in its 184th year,
vill be remodeled or torn down and
another built. Church members will
decide the fate of the historic
building.
The church will receive $26,561 19.
left by Miss Eva Bentle Palmore,
of Richmond, who died July 19.
1955. at the age of 84, The will
stated that the bulk of her estate
would be placed in trust for the i
benefit of Muddy Creek Baptist
church.
It also stated that, "if there shall
be at any time in the future no!
Baptist church, or any church
formed partly from its member
ship occupying substantially t h e ;
same location then this trust shall |
ease and the principal of this fund 1
shall be paid to the trustees of the
Virginia Baptist Home for the Aged j
at Culpeper. If my Executor, The
Virginia Trust Co., and the Trustees |
and members of the church decide j
my estate is too small to form a
trust fund, they can give the money
to the church.”
Miss Palmore Born in Powhatan
Miss Palmore, who left the money
to the church, was born at Pleasant j
Oaks in Powhatan county, now the ‘
home of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson C. |
^alimre.
Muddy Creek church was built in
’774 with bricks made where the
! "hurch now stands.
In 1938, a new slate roof was put
! n the chuch and new Sunday
school rooms added The sla’e roof
j '''as too heavy for the church, and
I ’aused the walls to sac. The two
j 'aller'es wore taken out of the
church in 1938.
—-j
j in the Valley last week brought 27'
! cents.
Broilers
We don’t see any strength coming
:'ip any time soon in broiler prices.
By the first of May. Virginia
markets might feel the effect of a
: slight drop off in supply, but you
can’t bank too much on it.
U. S. supply will keep on up until
mid-April ease off slightly, and
then head upward again. If con
sumption m o v e s up seasonally,
prices might react accordingly in .
the little slack-off period in the last
half of April
Virginia supply is declining, and
by May should be around 13 per
cent below last year.
Prices last week were the Valley
a cent lower at 19 cents; Delmarva
a cent lower at 20 cents and North
Carolina and Georgia unchanged at
19 cents.
April 1 broiler numbers in Vir
ginia showed 12.3 million against
11.6 million last year, or seven per
:cent more.

Maintaining- A Service
nOSTMASTER General Snmmerfield is
* working a squeeze play on Congress to
appropriate $47 million to carry the post
office department to June 30, 1957. The
postal service lacks this sum to assure the
service. If this deficit appropriation is not
made the Postmaster General will order
curtailment of service, and the mails will
I - lowed to nearly a stop with no delivery
•m ice on Saturdays.
It appears that the Postmaster General
has completely lost, or never had, the spirit
of the U. S. mail service, lie had curtailed
Ihe service considerably in recent years, by
discontinuing directory service in the cities.
If the complete correct address is not on
the letter or parcel, returns are ordered
without an effort to make delivery. There
was a time when the slogan. “Ihe mail
must go through”, meant what it said, and
every effort was made to make delivery of
mail, promptly. Things have changed.
C. S. mail service has been outstanding
in the development of the United States. It
is essentially a government function, a
monopoly, whose first objective should be
service. The brilliant history of service to
the general public should not be overlook
ed in the current squeeze for operating
funds.
Congress, also, has before it recommen
dations for increases in postal rates. First
C lass letters would be raised to five cents,
and increases made on other classes of
mail. There is such a thing as “pricing
yourself out of the market”, and it appears
to us hat the proposed ryise to five cents
will tend to do this.
Mr. Snmmerfield is determined to put
the postoffice department on a self-sus
t - .ring basis. Such is impossible, if gbod
-oi’vice i to he maintained. It seems that
the department analysts have overlooked
tae exi.-tenth of a ready-to-serve cost. For
example, today, a 3-eeht stamp will deliver
a letter in San Francisco, or Rice. Va. —
3,000 miles or ten miles for the same rate.
Every American can be reached by mail,
wherever he may live. The service extends
to the remote sections of this vast country.
The patron who gets ten letters a year at
the end of a 20 rniie rural delivery route is.
just as important as the business which re
ceived thousands of letters a day. There is
a ready-to-serve cost which must be met
regardless of the volume of mail delivered.
Our contention is that the general public,
through tax monies must share in this
ready-to-serve cost. Congress has a re
sponsibility in providing sufficient funds
to make possible this ready-to-serve cost.
We base this opinion on the premise that
the postal service will be economically op
erated and on a business-like basis. Con
gress could well investigate this phase of
the operation. No doubt some procedures
could be instituted to increase efficiency
and reduce cost. An overall study could
well point to these possibilities.
First-class mail rates must be kept low
to assure volume and to provide service.
Some of the many other activities of the
postal system might be curtailed or the
rates increased — for example, money
orders, savings bonds, parcel post, insured
mail, registered mail, printed envelopes,
etc. Second class mail, principally publica
tions, has been increased 60 percent within
the past three years. Because these publi
cations, in general, are necessary for the
dissemination of public information pre
ferential rates may be justified.
Congress is in the squeeze, and will prob
ably vote the deficit appropriation for con
tinuation of the full postal service without
curtailment. At the same time a peep into
the efficency of operation of the postal
service might be helpful.
Foriegn Aid to Asia
f'LL'MHXT 1). Johnston, chairman of the
hoard of the l'. S. Chamber of Com
t”■ *rco, has reported to a special Senate
co-nmltteo investigating foreign aid. John
ston has visited and studied the l’. S. aid
! rogram in Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia,
Laos, Burma and Indonesia.
Hr undertook the study at the request of
the committee and his report was released
11\ the committee. The highlights of John
ston's report was an estimate that this
-country is wasting at least twenty million
dollars a month by supporting the curren
cies of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia at the
arbitrary rate of 85 piastres, or other cur
rency. to the dollar.
Johnston says the free market rate is 75
piastres and the black market rate from
loo to 120. He noted that some of these na
tions are using U. S. funds to build and
equip armed forces whose officers and men
think in terms of ancient hostilities and
rivalries.
Johnston -ays the Southeast Asia Treaty
Organization (SEATO). with its implied
promise of unlimited American support
against Oommuni.dt agression, should be
■the basic support of the military forces of
( antbodia. Laos, Thailand, South Vietnam
.aml -other Asian countries. He believes the
military forces of these countries are larg
er than is necessary to maintain internal
security.
Of course, if aid is reduced, these coun
tries will object strenuously, and Johnston
noted that even though they may protest
strongly, cuts in aid are justified.
The Johnston report is highly interest
ing, since it concludes that the original pro
grams of military and economic aid in this
area were necessary and that they have
achieved the intended reshits.
However,, he believes loans should now
replace grants and that military and eco
nomic aid can be cut down. The key con
clusion of the report is that. Communist ag
gression is not an immediate critical dan
ger, and that, therefore, U. S. aid could be
trimmed lest it tempt certain military ven
tures or clashes. Johnston also believes the
greatest opportunity for economic recovery
in these countries lies in a program giving
private enterprise a chance to show what
it can dp.
In general, his conclusion is logical,
namely, that this country should see to it
that its aid to our allies in this area is
greater than our aid to neutral countries.
Certainly, where Communist aggression is
not imminent, or a critical-danger, as con
cerns a neutral country in this area, our
aid program should be reviewed, and if it
is found that it is contributing to “windfall
profits” of foreign merchants, and keeping
certain cliques in power in these countries,
then it certainly can be reduced.
I lab sen Discusses Hankers And Investments
Babson Park. Mass. April 4 I
have great respect for bankers. My
father was a country banker in
Gloucester. Mass It is safe to trust
a banker for the protection of your
deposit His first and foremost aim
is to protect the money which you
leave with him. Based on my large
acquaintance with leading bankers
all o\er the world I unequivocally
support their 100 per cent desire to
protect your savings. Furthermore,
barring the ravages of war over
which they have no control, they
v. '.li give you hack every dollar you
dtp.yit with them Never criticize
a banker fur refusing to make a
lean.
What About Inflation?
When you draw your dollars out
t ! a bank, whether your dollars will
b iy as much in food, clothing, and
:■ Per as they would have when
you put them in is another question.
Tlie bankers have little control over
what your dollars will buy in the
future It. however, is only fair to
say that the bankers are fighting
inflation in every possible way. In
flation hurts not only the value of
your deposits but also the value of
every bond which the bank holds!
Furthermore, it should be remem
ebred that a banker should natur
ally be conservative It is said that
only '' one thing is more easily 1
frightened than a banker,—namely,
a “pair of bankers." Bankers brag
of their deposits; but the greater
their deposits, the more they owe!
In then hearts they realize that
deposits represent debts. The de
positors sit in the driver s seat The
depositors, of any bank could close
the bank in a week. Hence, I repeat
we should not blame bankers for
being cautious.
Bankers on Investment Advice
Bankers may be making a mis
take association so much with other
bankers Instead of attending
Bankers' Conventions, they perhpas
should attend conventions of physi
cists. chemists, and other scientists.
Instead of taking the advice o f
other bankers who are remembering
1929, they should perhaps ask the
advice of those who are looking into
the future rather than the past
If you ask some bankers fo rin
vestment advice, they look up the
company in an investment manual
and study only its balance sheets
and earnings statements. They ask
to see the accountant's audit. Yet,
accountants are only students of
the past Their business is to make
autopsies. — not forecasts. Accoun
tants may be classified as '‘under
takers.''—not as “doctors."
Officers of Banks
In my humble judgment, the
president of a bank should be a
graduate of some highly pro/es
sional school, such as the Massa
ehusetts Institute of Tecimolu; . if
he is to give investment advice. Hi
needs to know what is ahead, the
wonders which are now on draw;;..;
boards and in test tubes.
He should read scientific journals
and associate with men who art* ac- j
quainted with the wonderful chanu '
which will come about dm as the
next 50 years. Furthermore there
should be more “egg-heads' on
on bank boards of director whose!
knowledge is not limited .1 existing
industries.
Think Back 50 Years
Fifty years age. the telephone
companies had comparatively few
subscribers. There were only 140.000
automobiles compared with .">4.000.
000 today. Then there were no
radios, televisions, electric refnuer
ators or stoves, and only a few
chain stores. Over half our present
national income and wages come
from industries not even dreamed
of 50 years ago.
My first job was surveying for a
horse car line in Gloucester. Mass.
A half century ago this changed to
an electric car line, and now the
tracks have been ripped up and
busses provide the only public trans
portation. My second job was as
bookkeeper for Andrew’s Spar Yard,
which brought great spurs from
Oregon to serve as masts for the
fishing vessels. The chief industry
of Cape Ann was making paving
stones. These industries have now
vanished.

proposed 12 - month operation of
schools. Johnson suggested that pss
sibly a different type of educational
program could be offered in the
summer He noted the: strain on
teachers, difficulties in the rehabili
■ ' fto 11 of buildings and equipment
and objections of parents in telling
that every system winch has tried

R: ports on the 14 local P-TA's
activities were given at the after

dent Robert Arrington, of Amelia,
presided. Mrs. F, W Smith, P-TA
executive secretary, also reported,
an an invitation to meet next year
in Burkeviile was accepted.
The morning panelists also devel
oped a number of points they feel
would strengthen public education.
On finances. Superintendent Driscoll
aid new local tax sources must be
found, or people re - educated to
higher real estate taxes—if federal
aid to education is to be held off
Board member Gravatt said writ
ion directives having the strength
of policy should exist for the guid
ance of school boards. These would
establish division rules as against
separati school board decisions in
individual cases involving such
things as public use of buildings.
! busses and facilities
Principal Leete outlined the pur
poses and advantages of pre-regis
tration on the last day of the ees

i opening of the session. Under the
former system, principals would
have the entire summer to arrange
master schedules, and students and
teacheis would have more time to
