"AEONI All NOT ALONE."
John lb::;: "! am not alone, because the I ather is with me.")
Loneliness and suffering are perhaps more universally
linked together in this world than any other two conditions of
human experience In fact, any feeling of loneliness is always
experienced as a mild suffering, an acute loneliness is almost
unbearable The unrelenting urgency of the many to seek the
milling mod'ing" crowds stands as an irrefutable argument
tor such a surmise
.So wlu*n wo stng. "He sutierea,
hied, and du d alone,” and under
• rand wh.u the sot.-' is trying tp
portray, we come close to under
standing the awful significance of
Calvary for Jesus Christ.
In our own day those who have
thought about it continue to link
suffering and loneliness. Russell
Dicks has pointed out that he
firmly believes that there are only
four distinct types of suffering,
and he of these is loneliness. He
states the prevalence of this feel
ms by saying that "loneliness un
derlie!) more human behavior
than any other emotion unless it
i.- hunger "
Reasons For Forsaking
As we study the accounts that
tell u$ of lire events leading up
to Jesus' death and resurrection,
we realize that this was a situ
ation in the life of our Master
in which; Hie was very much alone
and yet in which He was not
alone In one place we are told
ti it ail His trends forsook Him
f |
diseiplies directly. "I am not alone,
because the Father is with me."
John 16:32'
We. who sometimes sufier from
pangs! of loneliness, are prone to
ask w!iy one like- Jesus, one so
cemi’ie innate, sympathetic, and
considerate of others would ever
be lonely v\ i y mould J! . <:: -
Sorted- or forsaken by those wJU
whom: he associated in His cm th
ly life ‘
The an.se wvr in one ease, that
of his encounter with the Phari
sees. is that he was doing the will
of Goh and ■ y v. , e not. J * n‘s
Gosptil tells of how Jmis pro
claimed himself as the li.-ht of
the world and the agent of his
heavenly Father, and the Phari
j
ridicule Him. The, reason is ob
viousij Jesus said. "1 do always
the tilings fh.at arc pleasing to
Him ■' -4; a is w h ! 1 ah >ne in ata
crowd
against the way of life that i.
pleasing to God.
Some- IVerr M’rairi
It is an astonishing fart also
that his friends forsook Him in
Ins hour of need. The reason foi
their flight is clear; they ran be
en use' of fear. They had not pur
posed in their hearts to desert
1 nt in fact, some had boasted
that they would never forsake
Him but m tlie houi oj testing
they weakened and failed him
W<- readily understand this situ
ation for we have failed Christ
because of feat.
But by far the greatest num
ber of those who lift Jesus lone
ly did so because of their indif
ference and non-concern. Those
who stood about the cross and
heard his anguished cry to God
turned away with deaf ears and
hardened li arts saying "Let Him
alone; lets see what God will do
for him.” They, like the vast ma
jority of the people of our world
were willing to turn away and lei
the oppressing cruelty run its
course. They left him alone.
But Jesus was not alone. The
reason he was not alone was ex
actly :ht .ins as that which
made the crowds leave him alone;
K was d' :n : tile will of his
Heavenly Father: "He that sent
me is with me; He hath not left
me a loro for I do always the
: 1.ai■ ’s that are pleasing to him.”
John 8:29'. And even if for the
moment of tile cross he has for
saken by God tor our sakes, yet
il not utterly alone, for God

! Darkness and Confusion
Bolt of Lightning Struck Elam Home
Monday Night During Electrical Storm
The home of Dorothy and
Clarence Burrell near Elam was
■xploded by a bolt of lighting
Monday evening at 7:57 p. m.
The tune was marked exactly, bn
•ause the clock in the kitchen
topped dead, and hasn’t started
sunning yet.
There were seven people in the
wo story frame home when the
■xplosion occurred and no one was
•eriousl.v injured. Besides the
3urreH s there were present their
on, David Booker, an uncle, Frank
•Vomack. and Sidney and Joan
3reen and their two year old son.
3idney, Jr , The baby received a
■tit on the head and a bruised

"It was just 1 ke an explosion.”
said Dorothy. When it hit she was
n the front livingroom. It stun
ned everyone in the house for a
ew moments. She said as soon as
she saw the lights were Out, she
started upstairs for a flashlight.
vVhen she got to the top of the
stairs, she saw during another
flash of lightning, that the entire
loor was ripped up. and she could
not get to the flashlight.
In the meantime those down
stairs were fumbling around in
he darkness The devastation was
even more complete downstairs,
.is ceiling, walls and floors were
ipped and torn.
Several of the doors in the
louse were ripped off and many
window panes were blown out.
One section of the wall was
knocked out here the electric line
entered the house. The cinder
block and cement front porch was
haltered and cracked. It had
been in perfect condition up to
Monday night.
Rain Favorable;
No Damage Seen
By Recent Frosts
Despite much comment on the
recent rains, a check by E. P.
Striplin, official weatherman,
shows that unusual amounts have
not fallen in the Farmville area.
So far in April there have been
1.25 inches of rain, with most
of it falling last Friday and Mon
day Other areas report heavier
rain fall, however. Buckingham
measured 2.18 inches of ram Iasi j
Friday, climaxed by a heavy
downpour early in the evening.
Buckingham reported 1.06 inches
from Monday’s rain.
Striplin reports a March rain
figure of 2.4 inches which is be
low normal for March. March
averages a little over three inches,
Striplin explained.
Early birders will attest to the i
heavy frosts reported in Farm
ville Tuesday and Wednesday
morning. The official low temper
ature was reported at 30 degrees
both days.
There was no crop or other
wind damage reported from the
Monday storm, Striplin said. He
indicated that tobacco beds are
m unusually good shape and lias
no report of blucmold. However
he warned that damp cool weath
er is ideal for the development of

The house was covered by five
lightning rods The east to south
one was knocked loose from its
mooring and dangled to the
ground, with part of it lying some
20 yards from the house in the
side yard.
No one saw a flash or "ball of
fire" or anything, but they specu
late that it was caused by lightn
ing. "It was like being inside of

Dorothy summed it up.

Council Continues Study of Sewage
Disposal Lagoon At Tuesday Meeting
Much ol the meeting of tile
Farniville Town Council Tuesday
was taken by a report and dis
cussion of the sewage treatment
lagoon led by Town Manager L. Z.
Jdfen.ston.
The town office has been busy
this month confering with their
Lynchburg engineering firm and
members of the Virginia Water
Control Board on details of the
proposed sewage lagoon.
Analysis of the sewage content
oi the west end line is being made
to determine the size, design, lo
cation. etc., of the first lagoon.
The first lagoon, estimated to re
quire some three to five acres will
take the sewage that is now being
emptied into the Buffalo River.
Johnston reported that no loca
tion lias been selected, and that
further study will be made before
buying tlie necessary land. Some
of the economic considerations arc
costs of the sewage line, cost of
the land, construction costs, whe
ther dikes will be needed, etc.
These factors must be determined
and tlie proper balance between
cost and effective service reached.
The second lagoon will pick up
the sewage from the other sewage
lines now emptying into the Ap
pomattox River.
The council authorized the use
of the electric speed tuner device
within the town limits, and au
thorized the erection of proper
signs to warn motorists that
speed is being timed electrically.
This was officially written into the
minutes of the town council to
back up the action taken at the
last meeting when the purchase
of the equipment was authorized.
Johnston said that the signs
should be erected within the next
two weeks at which time the tim
er will be put into use.
C. L. Spurlock. Jr., and I H.
Yeatts appeared before the coun- i
cil to request sidewalks on Watson
Street, which is located between
Park Avenue and Richardson;
Street. The council agreed to put
m the sidewalks if the property
landowners would share one-half
the cost Johnston pointed out
that this is the standard policy of
the town in constructing sidewalks
in residential sections.
In another tentative approval,
the council authorized a town
water line from Buffalo Street to
Appomattox Street along Third
Street. This hue was requested by
Buffalo Shook Company so they
could establish a fire protecting
sprinkler system in their plant.
The line would be built on a cost
sharing basis by Buffalo Shook
Company and the Town of Farm
ville.
Students Spend $17,000 Monthly
C ollege’s Dollar-Anri-( ents Value
To C ommunity Traced For C hamber
In addition to the cultural val
ue of Longwood College, there is
a dollars and cents value to the
economic well-being of the com
munity, Dr Francis G Lankford
told the Chamber of Commerce
Monday evening.
The biennial operating budget
is $1 million, a large portion of
which is spent locally Salaries
and wages for 150 employees,
including 60 faculty member,
average $50,000 monthly, he said.
Of the 60 faculty membcis. dd
own their homes, eight having
bought homes within the past two
years. Students spend over $17 000
a month in Farmville, he said
The Slater System supplies the
food service at the College and
employs 28 persons. A good por
tion of the food is bought locally
F ■ j* t*»c I'* — ■ <i • 11 ii *. .j >.* 'o—u i
$967,700 will be spent for capital
improvements. Under construc
tion is a dormitory to house 189
additional students. Much of the
funds spent for construction will
find its way into the economic
life of the community in the form
of labor and materials purchased
locally
Unroltmont to Doubt*
Though Longwood College Wi'I
remain in the small college clas;,
its enrollment is expected to grad
ually increase yearly and by 1970
to reach 1.674. approximately
double the present enrollment.

Noel To Enroll At Virginio
FHS Athlete, Scholar - Leader
Wins $3,400 DuPont Sholarship
By LINDA TAYLOR
Editor, EHS ‘Focus’
Howard Noel, a senior at Farm
vine High School, has won the Du
Pont Regional Scholarship to the
University of Virginia. The $3,400
scholarship, donated by DuPont,
will cover a four year period
The winner of the scholarship was
determined on a highly competitive
basis. First. Noel was nominated by
the principal of Farmville High
School, M. U. Lrete. based on
ability, scholastic achievement and
financial need. The next step was
to appear before the DuPont Re
gional Scholarship Committee in
Petersburg for a personal interview.
Noel and five other boys survived
pus screening and were guests at
the University of Virginia during
the weekend of March 22. Five
nominees from each of the other
four regions of Virginia were also
guests.
At the University each boy was
interviewed by the DuPont State
Scholarship Committee for final
analysis of attitudes, personality,
character and ambitions. A written
examination was the final test to
determine the recipient of the
scholarship.
Although this is by far the biggest ,
of honors bestowed upon Noel, many
honors have come his way through
Ills classmates, who have recognized
his cxcrllent leadership and sports
manship qualities. His biggest job
this year has been in editing the
FHS yearbook, the “Cavalier.” Be

Kentucky, Tenn.
Legislators
Fire Questions
The Department of Agriculture
and Congressman William M
Tuck spoke out for Virginia Type
21 dark-fired tobacco, against a
barrage of questions from Ken
tucky and Tenn ssee legislators *
during Washington hearings on a
bill to separate Type 21.
The bill is Congressman Wat
kins M Abbitt's, and it would
make Virginia’s leaf a distinctive
type of tobacco to be considered
on its own merits for quotas and 5
price supports.
The hearings, before the House
of Representatives tobacco sub
committee of the Agriculture Com
mittee. have brought together to
bacco grower, processor and buy
ing Interests with the subcommit
tee and U S.D A. representatives.
Many Testify
Committee members heard Vir
ginia spokesmen speak out forth
rightly from 12 years of frustra
tion on the subject of separation.
T B Hall, general manager of
the Virginia cooperative market
ing organization, testified there is
a short supply of the Virginia
l y pt
Congressman Tuck, of South
Boston, and a former governor of
Virginia, requested the committee
to approve the separation. He em
phasized Type 21's produetion
less-than-demand situation, and
added "It is my understanding
that separation will in no way
damage the producers of other
types. At the same time it benefits
producers of the Virginia Type
”1 "
The Department of Agriculture
hr.s reported to the committee
t at it considers placing the Vir
ginia type on an independent
footing would be beneficial al
though it would be undesirable for
administrative purposes.
I'SD.Vs View
The proposed change, the de
pa rtmeni said, should improve the
prospect for placing on a sound
basis” the price support program
for the Virginia type and should
improve prospects for the export
market, which takes about one
haif of the Virginia dark-fired.
J Mott Robertson, who is presi
dent of the Virginia organization
ol' independent warehousemen,
told the committee Virginia dark
fired tobacco is being reduced to a
point where growers face the
threat of going out of production.
• We feel that if Type 21 is sepa
rated and made to stand on its
own feet we would not die as fast
as under the present situation."
Robertson told the committee.
Buyers told of unfilled trade de
mands: growers of acreage penal
ties because of the tie-in with leaf
produced in other states not hav
ing Virginia leaf demand.
Objections Heard
The questioning came from
Reprepsetat-ive Watts, of Ken
tucky. and Representative Bass, of
Tennessee) Both repeatedly asked
witnesses their opinion whether
or not separation would hurt

note the Amelia county school board -, decision to promote-within
tlr-ranks which elevated the Amelia coach of all sports to tlie place
vacated by Principal O. A "Dick' Norton, who becomes county
superintendent July 1.
The 31-year-old Boepple has demonstrated a genuine interest in
youth and has coached creditably under difficult circumstances.
We've watched Phil work with-ins boys in a thimble gym made out
of half an auditorium with the st ats removed and make-shift baskets
stuck in the corners. When the Orioles took the big gym floors of
opponents. Boepple never made excuses.
Then while Ire was pitching in with oilier residents to make the

Longwood College Real Asset
I ON’GWOOI) College is a real asset to
Farmville^ not only because of its cul
tural influence, but, also, in dollars and
cents. Dr. Francis Lankford, Longwood
College president, gave the Chamber of
Commerce a peep into the operations ol
the College Monday night
Capital expenditures for the biennium
1956-'58 will total $967,700, a greater part
of it being used for dormitories. Enroll
ments are expected to remain on a gradual
upward trend during the coming years
with 1255 students bj 1965 and 1674 by
1970. These estimates are conservative.
The operating budget for the two years
is a million dollars, a goodly portion of
which finds its way into the business chan
nels of Farmville. An average payroll of
$50,000 per month to 150 employees, in
cluding sixty faculty members, is a sizable
figure. In addition the students spend well
over $17,000 a month locally. Add to these
the cost of food, much of which is bought
locally. The College is a real economic as
set.
In the years ahead, as the enrollment in
creases the economic value of the College
and its cultural influence will increase pro
portionally. Too often we are prone to
overlook the value of our local institutions
and businesses. It is, therefore, well to
take inventory regularly of our existing
assets.
Danger Stalks Again
i;< IRKST l ire danger stalks again as (he
1 expected hot windy weather of April and
May dry out the floors of the forests. Thus
far, rains have curtailed these dangers, hut
in the weeks ahead we know well that
fires can cause untold damage to the
forest. When forest fires rage, not only are
the growing trees damaged or consumed
hut the young trees and seedlings arc des
troyed. Pine will mature in 18 to 25 years
under good circumstances. Fire at any
time can wipe out in a short while a valu
able asset it has taken many years to grow.
Forest fires are mostly caused by man’s
carelessness. Few fires result from light
ning. Those people who frequent the for
ests can prevent this annual destruction
by being careful with the use of fire. Stomp
out lighted cigarettes, break the match aft
er using, douse camp fires, exert more than .
usual care during the next few weeks.
Remember-—only you can prevent forest
fires!
Historic April
r|MIE m<>uth of April has long been as.so
ciatod with the wars of the United
States, bat it also brings the anniversary
of some other rather important events.
April is the anniversary month of the
beginning and the end of the War Between
the Stales, which began on April 12, 1861,
in Charleston Harbor, and ended four years
later, on April 9th, at Appomattox, Va.
April also gives us. on the 6th. the an
niversary of tlie declaration of war upon
Germany in 1917, when the destiny of the
United Stall's carried its armed forces
across the Atlantic.
In connection with other wars, it should
not be overlooked that President McKinley,
on April 11. ISMS, called upon Congress to
intervene in Cuba and that war was inaug
urated two weeks later by a formal declar
ation.
The War of the Revolution began at Lex
ington. Massachusetts, on April 19, 1775.
Eight years later, cessation of hostilities
/
was proclaimed, to the American Army and
the war came to an end.
The other anniversairies to which we re
fer include that of the first pony express,
which moved out of the frontier settlement
of St. Joseph, Missouri, on April 3, I860.;
The first formally-organized government
in the Northwest took place at Marietta,
Ohio, on April 7, 1788, when forty-seven
veterans of the Revolutionary War, under
General Rufus Putnam, founded the city
on the river bank.
Other events of considerable importance
in the history of this nation occurred dur- ’
ing April, including the birth of Thomas
Jefferson, on the 13th, the death of Abra
ham Lincoln on the 15th, the landing of
the first permanent English settlers at
Jamestown, on April 26, 1607, and the in
auguration of George Washington as the
first President of the Republic on April 30,
.1789.
Begin at Home
rrilE World i> heavily populated with in
dividual- who would do “great things”
if they had fine positions or plenty of mo
ney. However, the world has very few men
or women who are striving to do the little
things in life in a manner that befits the
doing of tlie greater things.
There is much talk today, for example,
about the value of family life. What do the
average father and mother, in this day. do
for the benefit of family life? For that
matter, what contributions does the young
son, or the young daughter, feel impelled
to make in developing a happy family cir
cle that, in too many instances, is but a
theory?
Ifappy family life is a cooperative af
fair. It does not depend on father or moth
er. or son or daughter, alone. Unless all
work for the common good, unless all mem-1
hers of the family try to be as unselfish as
possible, then there can be no completely
happy family circle. But it is worth think
ing' about and working for. What are you
going to do about it'.’
Speaking of Taxes
4 mutual life insurance company reeent
1 lv informed its policyholders that "the
federal income tax to be paid by your com
pany for 1 '.idd will be more than five times
as trreat as the tax paid for the year 194‘d.
This is equivalent to m-4v than I’.V of the
entire amount returned to policyholders by
this mutual company in "premium re
funds"—commonly referred to as divi
dends."
business is paying its share of the fed
eral budget and it conies out of the pockets
of millions of shareholders or policy hold
ers of limited income. These are double
taxes on the same income—paid oiice 4>y
the companies on earnings, and then by the
individuals as personal income tax.
A good example of hidden taxes.
Insect Damage
IWSIH'TS and rodents inflict damage to
1 the crops ot' tin United Sta‘e> that cost
growers about si,000,000.000 a year, ac
cording to Department of Agriculture ex
perts. despite tin- existence ot improved
and highly ellective insecticides and poi
sons.
1 his is a surprising figure and is seem
ingly large enough to spur all growers of
crop.- to avail themselves of all available
met hods oi control. Seie: 11fic research has
developed chemicals that arc wonder-work
er.-. in their control of insects, including
those that carry disease and those that de
vour plants and their fruit.
Gradually, the crop growers are heomi-'
iug convinced that greater profits from
growing things comes to those who take ad
vantage of what modern science has done
to make possible the protection of crops
from pests of all kinds.
Highway fatalities keep increasing, but
this fact won’t persuade anyone that the
next accident always involves new victims.

The Shoufcrs
Lesson for April 14. 1957
IT WAS an exciting week in Jeru
salem. There was shouting on
Sunday; there was shouting on
Friday; all about the same Visitor,
one Jesus of Nazareth. Only the
shouting was different. On Sunday
he rode in to the city preceded by
a guard of honor, disorderly to be
sure, but wildly enthusiastic. They
called him King
(“Son of Dav
id’’): they said
with loud voices
that he came in
the name of the
Lord, the Hosan
nas must have
been heard for
miles F r i d a y
morning the Vis
itor was mostly
I)r. Foreman
out of sight. The Roman police had
him, and they did not disgorge
prisoners easily. The crowd milled
about in the streets outside the
governor's castle, and they kept
yelling “Crucify him!" Nothing
can be more thrilling than to be
hailed as King: nothing can be
more dreadful than the sound of
a mob hungry for torture.
The Same Voices
Now the strange thir.g is that
some of the same people who were
shouting "Hosanna! on Sunday,
were shouting "Crucify him!" on
Friday. Didn't they know their
own minds? Well, they didn't
Shouters seldom do. There are al
ways shouters about, they emerge
from every crack when anything
exciting goes on. They shout in
crowds; solo shouters are rare If
you had taken many'maybe most)
members of that Sunday crowd
aside and asked each one in pri
vate: "Do you really think this
Jesus is a King0" it is a fair guess
that some of them would have re
plied. "Well ... I don't know, of
course. But he might be. Good
idea to get on the band-wagon. 1
hear . . . ” and so forth. Further,
•f you Had been able to get private
interviews with the bloody-sound
ing shouters on Friday morning,
and isked. "do you really think
that this Jesus is guilty—and if
he is. of what, exactly? Do you
pei snnally,, want to sec him cruci
fied by the Romans?" You might
have got some answers like "Was
I saying crucify'? Well, that's a
little strong. Of course I hate to
see anybody in Roman hands No,
I don't know the man personally,
but I was told ..." and so forth
I have heard—I was told They
. say . Your shouter has no mind.
•Th] he has is a voice.
We Should Know
It is not such laik mystery
why the same people could yell
Hosanna! and Crucify! about the
same person within a week. Re
member what was lined up against
Jesus—intrenched interests, self
ishness. indifference, pride hatred,
greed, prejudice. For him there
was only truth, and truth has short
shrift when the shouters are going
strong. We may be shouters our
selves. How is it that on Sunday
we can sing the most devoted
songs about Jesus, we can even
ofTer prayers in His name, and
then on Monday inot waiting till J
Friday! our actions, which speak
louder than our words always,
crucify the Son of God afresh'"'
we sing come from poems which
better Christians wrote; we just
ung along with others. no don't
think much about what the words
mean Then on Monday we fall in- !
to the ways of the world. We don't
connect what we are doing (which
can be pretty devilish and still
legal) with what we said on Sun
day; and we don't (maybe) inten- ;
tiunally mean anything against
Jesus. But we do and what "every
body" does and says, and don't
stop to think (it's too much trouble
for a shouter to think) that what
we are doing, or failing to do, says
louder than words—"Jesus? Who's
he° Nobody that makes any dif
ference with me. nobody I d care
to be like!"
If Tnay Had Known Him
There were some who shouted
on Sunday who were silent on Fri
day. The Eleven forsook Him and
fled, we know; but we may be
sure they did not yell "Crucify
Him!" and perhaps the Mother
Mary took no voice in the shouting
any time. The star of her love :
shone steadily through the storm. !
Those who really know Jesus, not ;
by hearsay, rumor or tradition,
but know him as a living inner ;
Friend, and Savior, do not change !
their minds about Him overnight.
And sometimes those who love !
Him most deeply are not to be
found among the Shouters, but
among those who «erve.

A Prayer
God, give me strength to build anew
When all my plans arc in the dust,
To quaff frustration's bitter brew
And still keep on because I must.
And help me God, to serve the right
Without reward or thought of gain
Undaunted by the evil might
Of those who fill the world with pain.
Give me the heart when brief assails
And I feel weak and left alone
To seek Thy aid that never fails
Through faith that Thou ar on Thy tl rone
Help me, I pray, when hope has fled
To salvage, and again to mend
My spirit shaken, bruised and bled
But still unbroken to the end.
God be with me when age is rife
And when I near earth's journey's end,
To bid a calm farewell to life
And feel that death's a kindly friend
And give me God, above all things
Including wealth, ere I depart,
That strength within that ever springs
From a sincere and steadfast heart.

Letters To Editor
Highway Safety
Everybody’s Problem
Dear Editor,
Traffic deaths 40.000 of them
over the nation last year—are pretty
shocking. We all cluck dutifully over
this statistic. We all agree some
thing ought to be done about it.
So we scold each other—in the press
and over the air. We deplore the
hot-rod craze and sound off on'
"modern” youth as though it were
somehow different, from youth of
some previous period in history. We
demand that our constabulary and
our courts throw the book at
speeders and reckless drivers in
general. Then we relax and for
get. After all. death-on-the-highwa.v
is something that always happens to
someone else up to now, at least.
But a recent black-bordered full
pay n Duval County (Tex.) Facts
serves to emphasize that only up to
now has it been somebody else, and
to suggest that the Reaper has
brushed us all with his black cloak.
"Here are the dead for 1DA6.” is
the matter-of-fact copy lead . . and
following are the names of the 169
who perished by the roadside in,
Duval and neighboring counties of
South Texas.
This brings bereavement and des
truction too close for comfort or
smugness. Here, are names that are
known to the paper's readers Here
us the final requiem for loved ones
who died horribly, needlessly and
close by.
dead alike, says (lus me
morial page, "are the careless
and the innoeent. Dead is the
ehild too young to fear an auto
mobile as he crossed the street.
Dead the careful pedestrian cut
down hv a careening automo
bile. Dead the drunken, the
speeding and the inattentive
driver and with him the inno
cent victims who occupied the
cars into which thee crashed. . .
Every death recorded on this
page is as a pebble dropped
into a pool. The tragedy is not
alone confined to those who
died. The loss to the family and
to friends, the loss to the com
munity; these cannot he meas
ured or expressed cither in fig
ures or in words."
This peroration goes on to outline
the steps that must be taken to
“curb this ne c e d 1 e s s. senseless
slaughter", and emphasizes the
need for "the cooperation of every
citizen" to accomplish these urgent
reforms. Then comes the roll of the
dead, county by county, name, after
name.
A line at the bottom of this page
deserves quotation. It says: "Pub
lished as a public service in the
interest of public safety ibyi Arno
and Roland Held) iwho are truck
dealers in nearby Alice. Tex.’ and
the employees of tins newspaper."
Publisher J. L. C Beaman, who
sent us a tear-sheet of this “coop
erative advertisement", says in his
note "Mr Heldt and his brother are,
really working on the problem of
highway safety in our section." And
we would suspect that Mr. Beaman
and his pitching staff, too.

1957 season. Weekly reports will be
published until tiie latter pari of
November. These reports are based
upon information supplied by volun

Crops
Pastures have made an early
start ant! are already providing con
siderable forage for livestock. Re
ports indicate that 35 per cent of
forage requirements are noW pro
vided by pastures
Wheat and other fall sown grains
have also made rapid growth; It is
too early to determine fruit pros

apple and peach buds and little or
I no freezing or frost damage has oc
curred. , Peaches are in bloom in
centra! [and southern counties.
Strawberries are blooming later
than usual. Alfalfa weevil is appear

; farmers are preparing to spray and
dust to control this insect.
Farm Work
Plowing and seeding oats were
the principal activities during the
.past week but progress was. retarded
by heavy rains in most areas. At
the end of the week approximately
55 per cent of the spring oats acre
age had been sown. Spreading fer
tilizer and manure has also been an
important activity when weather
conditions permitted. Orchardists
have been spraying and this work
is well along.
Generally, farmers have b e e n

Concentrate Milk
Mav Be Next Step
On Virginia Farms
Evidence is slowly but steadily
mounting that fresh concentrate
milk may -soon be produced and sold
commercially.
And Virginia dairymen are being
advised by VPI economists to keep
a close watch on developments.
The possible sale of concentrate
milk m Virginia could present stiff
competition to local producers and
distributors, the economists say.
A recent survey done by econo
nvsts at the University of Wisconsin
*ndicated that fresh concentrated
milk would have wide acceptance
among consumers if it were sold
“or less than fresh whole milk. Uni
versity economists checked the
popularity of the concentrate, not
yet on the general market in the
area, with 919 families in Madison
and Beloit, Wis.
They found that if it sold for two
cents less a quart than fresh whole
milk, half of the families would use
it in place of their regular milk.
If the concentrate was six cents
less, 75 per cent would make the
switch. Only 22 per cent said they
would not change at any price. All
comparisons in the survey were
made with regular milk figured at
20 cents per quart.
The concentrate can be used as
drinking milk, coffee cream, or
heavy cream, depending on the
amount of water added. Nearly all
of the 919 families used it for drink
ing, Some (i2 per cent said they
thought it just as good as regular
milk. 14 per cent said they liked it
better, and less than 25 per cent
preferred the regular milk
About 25 per cent considered the
concentrate more convenient, favor
ing it because it was easier to
store, while another 25 per cent said
it was less convenient.
Veterans’ Widows
May Get Benefits
Eligible widows of veterans who
die of service-con necked cause
may receive financial benefits
computed on current military pay
scales, even if the veterans served
when military pay was lower than
at present.
Veterans Administration offici
als said the survivor benefits act.
I effective January 1. 1957. relates
■a widow's benefit payments to the
pay grade attained by the veteran
during his service.
Terms are optional for a widow
whose husband died of a service
| connected cause before January
t. 1957 but when the serviee
| connected death occurred on or
after January 1. 1957. the widow
will be eligible to receive compen
sation only under the new law.
Under the new law the benefits
may be paid to a widow at a
monthly rate of $112. plus 12 pei
cent of the monthly basic pay
now being received by a service
man whose rank and years of
service are the same as those of
the deceased veteran. Payment is
rounded to the next, higher dollar.
Minimum benefit is $122.
The military service depart
ment. not the VA. decides the
amount of basic pay in each case.
VA said.
■' a> scales in me nunuuy serv
ices change from time to time,
just as do civilian wages. Twenty
years ago. an Army private start
ed at $21 a month. Today a pri
vate’s starting pay is $78 month
ly. Periodic increases, are given
for length of service.
Military pay grades, however,
indicate whether a man is a pri
vate, a corporal, a sergeant. With
minor changes, the present pay
grades have been in effect since
1908.
May 15.
Robertson says that m check
ing his records for 1956 he finds
that most fire.s that escaped in
Cumberland county were caused
by persons burning after 4 p. m.
who had failed to check and see
that the fires were dead out by
midnight.
More Jobs Ahead
For Rural Youth
Numerous Openings
In Related Fields
Jobs in fields related to agricul
ture are multiplying rapidly, and
'many young people from farm
areas are being drawn into these
new positions, the U. S, Depart
ment of Agriculture reports.
Un a national average there are
now 168 young farm men to replace
every 100 farmers who die or reach
retirement age. As a result, al
most 40 percent of boys now grow
ing up on farms are expected to
seek employment off the farm
when they reach manhood.
Many new positions are avail
able for these young men who
leave the farm For example, there
will be two jobs waiting this year
for almost every graduate in ag
riculture from our land-grant uni
versities and colleges. Some 8.500
students are expected to graduate,
and there are approximately 15,
More and more jobs In fields
related to agriculture are becom
ing available—jobs in which a
‘■farm" background will be an
outstanding asset.
000 job openings for them in fields
related to agriculture. These in
clude positions in teaching, re
search, extension, communications,
conservation, farm services, and
others.
Many jobs are available also for
those who don't have a college
education. They include work in
industry, trucking, artificial breed
ing, repair and servicing of farm
machinery, fruit spraying, airplane
dusting, and mapy other fields.
The increase in off-farm employ
ment opportunities has accompa
nied the national decrease in num
bers of farms. There are about 1.6
million fewer commercial farms
today than there were 25 years
ago.
Farm Accidents
Need Not Happen
Many farm accidents could be
prevented if farmers were as con
cerned about good housekeeping
in their barns as their wives are
about the appearance of their
■ homes.
When it comes to preventing
accidents, good housekeeping
around the barn is just as impor
tant as keeping the house spick
and span, advises O. 3L Hogsett,
extension safety specialist at the
University of Illinois College of
Agriculture.
Farmers should take a little
time right now to clean out haz
ards around the l?arn to make
chores easier and safer for the
rest of the winter.
If alleyways or other work areas
are cluttered with sacks of feed,
stools, carts and other obstacles,
find a safe, out-of-the-way place
for them. Forks, scrapers and oth
er barn-cleaning tools belong in a
safe storage rack—not standing in
the corner or stuck up over beams.
You're using the ladder or stairs
to the haymow more often now,
so make sure all steps and rungs
are sound and fastened wiell. If
the ladder doesn’t extend well
above the loft floor, build an ex
tension.

Fatal Accidents Gain
50% In Rural Virginia
Fatal non-transport accidents in
Virginia In 1956 increased by 50
over the year before, and falls
moved up to first place on the list
of causes of accidental deaths.
Statistics compiled by the Bureau
of Vital Statistics and released
through the Virginia Rural Safety
Council show that 591 people died
accidentally in rural areas last
year. Of that total and compared
to 1955 , 301 deaths occurred in the
home, up one; 70 occurred on the
farm, up 18; 157 occurred in public
publices, up 27: and 63 occurred in
“unspecified places,” up four.
Accidental falls caused 15>6 deaths
as compared to 113 the year before.
Still high oti the list as causes of
deaths are fires and explosions.
114|—down 27; drowning, 103—up 30;
firearms. 40—up two: machinery.
37-i-up 20; inhaling food, etc., 24—up
four; poisoning. 22—down six: suffo
cation in bed and elsewhere. 18
down one; and excessive cold. 12.
Back on the list of the “10 top
killers" were accidental blows from
falling objects, which accounted for
17 deaths. Electric current was
dropped as one of the leading
causes.
Adulthood, denned as 2;> to 64
veins of age. continued as the most
dangerous time of life. Number of
deaths in this classification was 193
anj increase of 16 from 1955. Next
came old age. 65 years and over,
with 192 accidental deaths, an in
crease of 45 from the year before
The Grim Reaper also gained the
accidental deaths with youth. 15 to
24 years old. with fatalities in that
group numbering 66. up 17 from the
ynar before. Slight decreases were
noted for school-age children 1 five
| to 14 years old1 with 50—down
| sdven; infants 'under one year
with 45—down 15; and preschool
one to four year with 42 deaths—
down eight.
Of the 156 fatalities caused by
falls, 117 were in the home and
. most of the people involved were in
i the old age group.
Of the 114 deaths caused by fires
atsd explosions. 99 were m the home
jOf the drownings. 77 were in pub
lic places, but 15 occurred on the
farm. Thirty-five of the drownings
were m the 15 to 24 age group, with
24 in the 25 to 44 age group, and IK
in the five to 14 age group
Most of those choking to death
were in I he infant and preschool
group, and most accident in th.
classification occurred at h>*n.

Tests Show Alfalfa
Silage Good Feed
For Dairy Calves
Virginia farmers who haw lw-u
discussing the pros and com of feed
ing alfalfa silage to dairy calvt
' should be interested in a recent less
at Pennsylvania State University,
belieyes Dr. W s tbiffitli. a- *
taut dairy bu bandmau ' VPl
Dr Griffith explain- that fm
years books on dairy cattle feeding
and management have indicated
that silage was of little value for
the dairy call In Virginia, many
| farmers find it easier to make high
quality silage than t-> make hi: h
quality hay The Pennsylvania
| tests hold some good news on tin
value of alfalfa silage in the die
of the young dairy calf
A total of 94 Holstein and Guern
sev calves were used in the test
The calves were cm trial j from six
days of age through It; weeks. So
long as each calf received a mini
mum of three pounds of grain
daily, the free feeding of alfalfa
silage pi^jmoted normal growth
with lust as good gains as did al
falfa hay
Although one group of calves was
permitted to eat hay and silage in.
addition to the three pounds of
gram daily, that group did not gam
any faster than the group on silam
without hay.
Dr Griffith says many dairy
calves m Virginia are eating poor
quality hay. and this isn't good
enough for normal growth A good
hay-crop silage can be used to good
• advantage.
Form Questions of Hie 11 eek
Q—Can a cow that will calve
shortly be tested safely for brucel
losis0
A—Yes
Q—Where can 1 get information
; oil the production of charcoal?
A—From the Forestry Depart
ment. VPI Agricultural Extension
Service. Blacksburg Specialists
there say charcoal production is a
good way to make money out of
low-grade hardwoods. A cinderblock
kiln can be built cheaply
Q—My cattle grazed alfalfa for
two hours in the afternoon. That
night all four of the cattle died.
Could they have died from bloat.’
A—Yes. likely bloat was the trou
ble. However, it could have been
something else. A check with your
local veterinarian is in order.
Q Will Stocker CaHli . : ic- ■■

A—Prices will be good but not
necessarily higher than they are
now.

April 15 Tax Bite Same As ( . S, Belling
SJOfl Million A Day Every Day Of The Year
1:: the midst of one of the greatest
drives against the level of Govern
me: t spending the not: n has ever
i xponenced. the America:) people
■.n now in the la.-s-minuie throes
i f figuring out and settlin':. up their
biggest income tax tab on record.
When the final U. S. Tie usury ac
count in. takes place after the April
15 payment deadline, the Govern
ment anticipates that its personal
income tax collection,- fot the 1957
fiscal year, exclusive of other re
ceipt.-. will-add up to a record
$38 1-2 billions This is the equiva
lent of more than Sion millions a
flay for every day of the year, and
to about $770 for every household
in the land
! some $3 it* I i.
the Federal income tux bill collected
si the 1958 fiscal year, and exactly
double the comparable total in 1945.
the peak u:< year during World
War II.
Narrow Balance in Budget
Other sources of receipt?; are ex
pected to swell Federal coffers by
an even larger amount The total
here adds up to $45 billions in the
cun ent fiscal year and is estimated
at $47 billi.ns for the 1958 fiscal
peiied These receipts are predomi
nantly corporation income taxes.
i seise 1 e v i e s. and employment
taxes 'Social Security, etc . and in
' (s' last analysi they 1 mi
from the people and from the pro
duction, of the economy. After ad
iustments for transfers to t r u s t
funds and for refunds the Govern
ment figures on net budget receipts
nr $70 6 billion;; in the current fiscal
year and $7.'!.t> billions in the 1458
fiscal period.
If present expectations regarding
receipts and expenditures are; rea
lized, the Administration on June
.20, 1958 will have rung up three
balanced budgets n a row. n i seen
in Federal financial accounts since
the Twenties.
The margin of balance is verv
small, however Receipts exceeded
expenditures by little more -than
Si 1-2 billions in 19.",6. and no im
portant increase over this is antici
pated this year or next. The narrow
ness of these margins is accentu
ated by the fact that the nation has
been enjoying record prosperity, the
public has been bearing a record
tax burden with only one modest
break in recent years, and the pub
lic debt still add. up to well over
S270 billion; , or not far from its all
time high
\'i>n-Defeitsp Spending I'p
With international conditions what
they are. national security expendi
ture.- hive inevitably become the
major part of the Federal budget.
However, our record peacetime bud
gets of this year and next are due
only in part to the high cost of de
fense. As a matter of fact, the new
1; y hs in spending are being set on
the civilian side of the budget in
• ucli areas as agriculture, labor and
welfare, slate aid programs, and in
terest on 'the public debt.
In all the Administration has pro
jected a record total of $28 1-2
billions lower than it was when the
in the coming fiscal year By con
trast. when it took office a little
over four years ago and began to
slice the Truman Administration's
spending figures, it cut the civilian
side of the budget to under $21 bil
lions for the 1954 fiscal year. The
rise since than has been some
$7 1-2 billions, or more than a third.
As for defense spending, it. loo. is
slated to rise some $2 billions to
above $42 billions in the coming fis
cal year. However, it is still several
bililons lower than it was when the
Administration took over the reins
of Government in 1952.

Knowiamt on Taxes
Minority Leader William Know
land says taxes must be reduced
next vs ar. The Republican leader
in the U.S. Senate believes that this
is the last year that Congress will
vote an extension of the various
wartime taxes that are still in force
yeai :1 t ■ t! iva i< ■ bred
them are over.
We w rider why Congress should
extend these excessive taxes even
one more year. If Congress would
chop tluee billion dollars off the
President's budget, and it could
knock at least a billion off foreign
aid requests, probably a billion and
a half, then wartime taxes could be
lowered or removed immediately.
Even if Congress spends only the
same amount of money as it spent
last year, taxes could be cut--for
revenues are expected to be up in
the coming fiscal year. Knowland us

sentiment but that reminds us of

Sm Diego, Cal During his 'Wel

the Marine Corps Recruit Depot,
Sgt. Henry D. Patterson was*Inter
rupled by a constantly waving hand
Forced to acknowledge the persis

Who rates what for performance
and smoother riding in the low
priced three? Chevrolet has laid
the answer and the proof on
the line!
First, Chevrolet won the Auto
Decathlon over every car in its
field, and over the higher priced
oars that were tested, too. This
nigged ten-way test (right, below)
showed Chevrolet was the champ
in handling ease, braking, acceler
ation, passing ability, smooth
ness of ride and other driving
qualities you want in a car.
Then, Chevy won the Pure
Oil Performance Trophy at
Daytona {left, balow) as “best
performing l'. S. [automobile.”
It’s quite a feeling to know
that you are driving a car that
performs so well, responds so
beautifully and is so finely built.
You feel proud, of course. But
you also enjoy a : urer, smoother,
steadier way of going, a keen
cat-quick response of power, and
ihe easiest handling you’ve ever
experienced behind a wheel. Just
try this Chevrolet (V8 or Six)
and see!
Chevy shott ed it's still the champ...
at Daytona ...and in the Decathlon!

ONE FRIDAY
When we become mired in the rorn ine of
life, one day is like any other. This W’as just
another working-day for most of the people
in Jerusalem.
Three men died on Calvary Hill. One of
them was the Galilean!
Business as usual in Jerusalem, Unless we
understand the whole significance of what is
happening we pay little attention ...
Do you understand what happened that
Friday. Do you realize WHO hung on that
central Cross. Do you know WHY He died.
And FOR WHOM?
There is nothing more necessary in our
lives than the deep, personal knowlec ge of
what happened that Friday . . . and thi Sun
day following.

Two Scientists Will Make Soil Map
Cumberland Development Program
In connection with the Rural De
m i. i.iiK-nt ])i>. mm if Cumberland
county the various Federal and
Hiau agricultural agencies repre
■ i med :n the county have embarked
on an effort to measure the soil
and land resources, and determine
the long range conservation needs
of the county Before the effort is
completed most of the workers of
the various agricultural agencies in
the county as well as two Soil Con
servation Service soil scientists will
participate.
Several weeks ago the group met
. Cumberland courthouse and pre
pared a generalized soil type map
of the county At -tins time the
county was divided into five sec
• ■'ms based on soil types and types
of farming. The map was sent to
tin statistical department of Cornell
University where an electronic 111a
chine drew forty 100 acre samples
representing each of the five sec
tions These 100 acre blocks were
outlined on aerial photographs with
out regard to ownership or land use
and were returned to the county.
The two soil scientists. Robert
Updike of Rustburg. and Charles
Judy of Fincastle, are now' engaged
in making detailed soil maps of the
100 acre blocks. These maps will
show soil types, severity of erosion,
steepness of slope and land use.
When this mapping is completed,
the acreages will be totaled and ex
panded to represent the total acre
age of the county.

Home demonstration ciud mem
bers from the following counties will
be attending: Cumberland Bucking

Other features of the program will
he the presenting of “Pennies for

Each county will have an exhibit
on some phase of the state federa

study home economics and for girls I
entering nursing school.
Mrs. Ruth L. Gamage. Cumber

say this method will give a 90 per
cent accurate tabulation ol' the acre
es of the various soil types, land
capability classes, and acres of land
devoted to the various land uses in
the county.
This information will be available
to the agricultural workers in the
county and they in turn, using their
knowledge of trends in the county,
will prepare estimates of the con
servation resource needs of the
county for a period of the next ten j
years.
The soil mappers working in the
county will not. be able to contact
the land owners in most cases since
they will not know who owns the
land, and one block may include
part of two or three farms. They
emphasize the fact that finding the
land owners would take more time
than doing the job of mapping. They
ask the cooperation of the land
owners to allow them to go over
the land if a block or part of a
block should lull on their farms.
Both soil men are employed by
the Soil Conservation Service. Up
dike is a recent graduate of VPI.
Charles -Judy is area soil scientist
for the Soil Conservation Service,
and lias worked in Cumberland
county at various times for well
over ten years.
