The High Read
By DR. HERBERT E. 1H DGINS
B.t io”, Kaimviile Methodist ( hnrch
■'To every men there openeth
A high way and a low:
The high soul climbs the high
way.
The low soul gropes the low:
WhiV in between on the misty
flats
The rest drift to and fro,
And every man decideth
The way his soul shall go;"
(John Oxenham
A Way Chosen
' Early in his life Jesus had chosen
the high road, the kingly way, and
now that there was danger and a
cruel Cross challenging his way, he
stii! chose the high road.
Maybe he could have avoided the
Cress he could have compromised
with his persecutors; he could have
prevented arret t by running away
across the Jordan River, out of
reach and away from it all. He
could have retreated and. in some
little town far away, he could have
resumed his trade as a carpenter
and lived on to a ripe old age.
Hut he had chosen the high road.
He had been sent of God on a
mission, and now that there was
danger and death facing him. he
st.11 ‘‘set his face steadfastly" to
go on, even though a Cross stood
in his way.

Area 4-H Contests
To lie at Longwood
College, April 27
\ Way Followed
When I think of Lent, the days
trading up h Easter. I think of a
Cress and. seeing that Cross. I am
reminded of One who was loyal to
his task. One who had dedicated
himself to a cause and stood by
that cause to the very end
The Cross', symbol of Lent and
the Christian Church itself, reminds
me not only of loyalty, but also of
the lore of God. of the seriousness
if sin. of salvation, and most of ail
1 personally like to think of the
Cross as an Empty Cross, the re
■
died, but now lives.
He is no longer on the Cross, but
Is risen, is alive, giving hope to
every man. saying to us that God
is one who can chance death to
life, a cross to a crown, defeat into
victory, a tragic Good Friday into
a glorious Easter Sunday, Winter
into Spring, sin to salvation.
Jesus chose" the high road: it led
to a Cross . . and to a CROWN.

CHARRED REINS OF LOG CABIN CAFE gel two-way fire-fighting treatment during Saturday fire
in Cumberland County. Members of the Farmviile tire Department play hose on the timbers and use
a gaff to topple the smouldering frame-work.
Saturday Fire Levels Roadside Cafe
hi Cumberland; Loss $6,000-$8,000
Fire of undetermined origin
leveled the Log Cabin Cafe in
Cumberland County at noon Sat
urday with a loss of $6,000 to
$8,000. according to Mrs. Minnie
Allen, owner.
The loss, which included the
frame, one-story property, stock
and fixtures is partially covered
by insurance, the proprietor re
ports.
The roadside cafe, grocery and
service station was located 12
miles north of Farmville on the
east side of Route 45.
The Farmville and Cumberland
Fire Departments responded to
the alarm at 12:20. but the flames
had claimed too much of the
building by the time of their ar
rival to save it. They concentrated
on saving two adjoining home
properties and extinguishing the
tire from the blackened and char
red ruins.
The proprietor said she could
not account fox an origin of the
fire except for the possibility of
defective wiring. She reported
that no fires have been started in
cafe stoves Saturday morning.
No cue was in the roadside cafe
at the time, although it had been
opeued earlier in the morning for
business. It was discovered when
the proprietor s mother. Mrs Ger
trude Washington who lives in an
adjoining house, saw smoke and
flame coming from the building
She gave an alarm and with
neighbors rushed toward the
building, but was prevented from
entering by heat, flame and
smoke
Mrs Alien said she had owned
the property for 17 years, acquir
ing it from her parents in 1940.

Court Postpones
Action On Case
Brought By N AACP
A special three-judge federal
court last week gave verbal de
cisions postponing final action
on the constitutionality of Vir
ginia, s NAACP laws.
The case was brought to court
by the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo
ple, because the organization ob
jected to the Virginia law enacted
last September that requires the
NAACP and other groups to re
veal the names of their membci:
and financial donors.
The court which met in Rich
mond did not rule on the consti
tutionality of the Virginia lews
It did however decline to grant
the motion suggested by the State
that the case be dismissed.
The court set June 26 for an
other session at which time the
merits of the NAACP complaints
will be argued.

Post Office < in Is Service Across
Nation After f unds Arguments
Extra Workers
Hit Hardest
By ‘Economies’
It’s April 15 and the post office
d partment has found itself in the
time position of many Americans,
that is, short of funds. However,
,__uu tor tne post office
shortage are different from the
re-son? of John Q. Puh’ic
By spending money allotted for
tli i^ui in i r an_-ict ui rmie,
the post office department is now
having to curtail services to try
to make ends meet, and most of
the services are directly inconveni
encing the public.
Postmaster General A E Sum
m. afield has requested Congress
to vote his department $47 million
so they can operate full blast for
the rest of the year. A bill pto
vid: ig $41 million was to be voted
Monday in the House of Repre
sentatives. Tire $41 million has
been approved b.\ the House Ap
propriations Commit tee
If the House passes the emer
gency legislation, it will go to the
Stiiate. If the Senate approves the
$41 million bill then it will go to
the White H Jus. for President
Eist nhower's approval. A slip-up
along the way can delay the bill
indefinitely.
■Sumni i field said if he got oulv j
$41 million lie would try to restore
all ot the cuts m service that he
could, but be could do nothing un
til the money was on hand.
Wle a the Appropriation.- Com- 1
mittcc threatened not to appropri
ate the money : ; q'uesied by Sum
merfield. he issued an order to all
post offices curtailing mall serv
ices.

livery windows will be open Mon
day through Friday from 8:HO a.
m to a p. m. and the money ordei
end registered mail wind- ■•ill
be open from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m.
Farmville Postmaster D. W
Paulette said that these were his
instructions and he had received
no further communications re
garding the service cuts.
It appears that the brunt of the
cut in the post office is being ab
sorbed by the substitute mail
workers They have been cut out
. of Saturday work and other extra
work. The regular workers get
: their normal time on the job.
Gary Opposes
J. Vaughan Gary, representativ e
from Richmond, who is head of
tbe post office subcommittee of
the House of Representatives, has
bitterly opposed the emergency
money bill He states that the post
office could operate efficiently on
an extra, money bill of only SI7
million. However, he has been out
voted and the recommended bill
is $41 million
Gary said it is "a dark <Hv in

Buckingham Bang's
Tests Favorable
County Agent Says
About. 1200 to 1500 head of
cattle in Buckingham county have
been tested so far in the county's
drive to become Brucellosis free
R. S. Ellis, county agent, said that
about one-ha if of the farms have
been tested, but have been mostly
smaller cattle farms.
Only two reports have shown
any symptoms of the bane's di
sease so far. lie said. "The county
seems to be in good shape." he
explained.
The campaign is handled by Dr.
Way land D. Andrews, state area
veterinarian, and is being done
without charge Ellis said they
have been able to move along
rather fast because of the ex
cf U< lit coop< ; a i ion they have re
ceived from the farmers, who
have had their cattle ready and
waiting almost without exception.
The testing of the smaller herds
should be completed this week
and then they will move into the
large herds. Ellis said.
J-Tq rP!T»in#i<a(1 thni t.liP : •
is being backed up bv a V .id '
Department of A .•ricuiture order
which will stop movent nt of all
cattle except tested animals and
those going directly to slaughtei
The animals that react to the
Bang's test will be cull' d and in
fected herds will be re-tested un
til certified clean.

Recently, Purina research workers asked poultry star?
men in 9 leading poultry states to estimate the total
amount of feed required—cn the average—to grow
a pullet in their states. Shown here is the average of
the figures they supplied, compared with Purina feed
requirements based on records of thousands of puiiets
raised at the Purina Research Farms.

*From day-old to laying
here’s how to grow 1000 sturdy, big-framed Purina pullets on
2500 pounds less feed
Most poultry raisers recognize
that Purina Growing Chows have
the quality and ingredients to
grow sturdy, big-framed pullets.
But not all realize that Purina
Chow efficiency often makes it
much lower in feeding cost than
feeds with cheaper price tags.
The comparison in the table
above shows the important differ
ence in number of pounds of feed
needed to grow out Purina pul
lets, compared with the average
in 9 leading poultry states. Rather
than to claim the full amount of
saving shown in this comparison,
the Purina Research staff rounded
off the figures to 2500 pounds less
Purina Chow for light breeds, and
4000 for heavy breeds.
This saving of feed increases the
feeding value of Purina complete
Growing Chow by 60i to 80c per
bag (100 lbs.)... or $1.20 to $1.60
a bag extra value for Growing
Chow fed with scratch grain.
Thousands of poultrymen have
found that they can use high
quality feed . . . and make money
doing it.We know this, and we’re
anxious to show you how
you may cut feed cost with your
pullets.
Pullet Health Hint —Now, with
Purina Liquid Poultry Wormer,
you can worm each 100 pullets
for less than 25c! Best time is
when they are 10 to 12 weeks old,
with a second treatment just
before housing if your ranges are
used heavily. It takes only one
dose in the drinking water. Order
Purina Liquid Poultry Wormer

i Larges, and the strong demand for
! white eggs proved "'ha! the season
j was the big factor. Richmond price
was 34 cents a dozen; Harrison
burg. 34-35 cents: Roanoke 30-32
cents on Grade A Larges. Mediums
were unchanged.
Peak of production usually comes
in March and April, so maybe some
relief will come along in the not too
distant future.
Broilers
We say cautiously that there may
be some encouragement in the price
outlook for the next three to six
weeks, basing it on what happened
l^st year and what is happening
this year in production.
Extended placements are moving
upward steadily, but the margin be
tween this year and last year's pro
duction levels is narrowing consid
erably. Right now we're up 13 per
cent above last year, but that figure
will di'op week by week until by
the first of June, the production
level should be just about even with
last year.
Sinco we'.r heading into the big
gest consumption period of the year,
that could mean at least some help
in s^ht.
Last year, when the supply line
shot up without faltering, good de
mand held the price fairly steady
through this period, so actually this
year’s outlook holds a little more
promise.
Virginia prices as well as North
Carolina and Georgia were all about
18-19 cents last week.
Veal
If you' have" vealers''to “sell, the
sooner you can do it. the better,
because the general price trend is
downward, and that usually con
tinues into June.
If you have a chance, you might
watch the market for any little hesi
tation or upward fluctuation, but
for this week it looks like we may
have just passed such a time.
Virginia auctions last week
brought $23.50 to $29 for choice and
prime grades.
Stocker Cattle
Demand was strong in the state
graded Stocker cattle sales in Vir
ginia this week.
Sale results were:
Lynchburg, steers, $23-$25.50:
heifers, good and medium $17-$18;
choice and fancy, $18.50 to $19.50
Richmond sale this week will be
Wednesday at 1 p.m
Winter Wheat
Newest figures released on ex
pected winter wheat production adds
a bit more optimism to the outlook
for this year's crop.
U. S. production, based on smaller
acreage .promises to be nine per
cent below last year; 22 per cent
below- the ten year average, at 669
million bushels.
Virginia's preliminary forecast is!
down ten per cent from last year,:
at an estimated 6,480,000 bushels,
the smallest crop since 1943.
Report of on-farm stocks—a par
tial picture of the stock situation—'
ihows 23 per cent less than last
year. 26 per cent below average,
with less than half under govern
ment loan compared to two-thirds
last year.

Southern. Culture Institute
T ONGWOOD College will perform a pub
^J lie service through its Institute of
Southern Culture to be held Friday, April -
26. Three outstanding scholars of varied
backgrounds will lecture during the day’s
program to be held in the Student Activi
ties Building Lounge at 11 a. m.. 4 p. m.
and 8 p. m.
Dr. Francis B. Simkins. professor of his
tory at Longwood College, a native of
South Carolina, author and lecturer, will
have as his subject: Education That Does
n’t Educate: The Persistence of Virginia
Folkways.
Dr. Louis D. Rubin, .Jr., associate editor
of the Richmond News-Leader, a historian
and literary critic, will speak on: The Im
age of an Army: The Confederate War in
Southern Literature,
Dr. Gardner B. Taplin, a native of New
Englond, teacher-lecturer-author, associate
professor of English at Longwood College,
has for his subject: Critical Essays in the
Southern Literary Messenger.
A decond institute of lectures will be
held on July 10, with outstanding speak
ers.
The two institutes are supported financ
ially by the Longwood College Alumnae
Association and sponsored by the College.
This is the first institute to be devoted spe
cifically to the study of Southern culture,
so far as can be determined. In these days
pf national and international changes and
attacks on Southern background both open
and subtle in the press, T-Y, and theatre,
this institute has an added interest. South
ern culture needs to be understood and
strengthened at home, and explained in
other areas of the nation. The intriguing
subjects under discussion and the varied
scholarship and experience of the lecturers
whet the curiosity and challenge the inter
est of all of those who have an interest in
the South and its importance to the na
tion.
Longwood College and the Alumnae As
sociation are to be congratulated upon
bringing this series complimentary to the
people of this area.
When Is Easter
F1 ASTER is the happiest of the ecclesiasti
^ cal observances during the year. This
is natural, in that Easter commemorates
the Resurrection.
But for many years there were differ
ences of opinion on the proper date for
the observance of the Resurrection. It was
finally decided that the date should be the
Sunday following the first full moon after
the Spring equinox.
Since the Vernal Equinox occurs on
March 20th, 21st or 22nd, the date of East
er shifts with the cycles of the moon, the
moon completing its o w n cycle every
twenty-nine days.
This allows Easter to fall on various
dates between March 22nd and April 25th.
This year Easter falls late on the 21st of
April, almost a month later than is some
times the case.
Cost of Living LTp
ANCE again, rising: costs have hit the
' family budget. This was driven home
recently by the Government announcement
that its consumer price index had risen 0.4
par cent more to a record high of 118.7 per
‘"lit of the 1947-49 average, during the
month ended in mid-February.
This was the sixth consecutive monthly
• in and the sharpest since October. It was
pointed out that food and housing were the
two groups most responsible for the jump,
although all major areas of goods' and
sendees except apparel moved up.
In presenting the report. Ewan Clague,
Commissioner of Labor Statistics, declined
to make an estimate of the movement in the
index for next month. Over the rest of
tile year, he said, there was some reason
to expert the price of automobiles and
many household durable goods to de
cline. largely ;is a result of sluggish de
mand, with a resulting drop in the consum
er price index.
The rise in the index in February
brought automatic pay raises to about 135,
000 workers, mostly in the aircraft indus
try. The typical increase was 2 cents an
hour.
However, the increase in consumer prices
meant that the buying power of the aver
age factory worker’s paycheck declined in
February, despite a small increase in dol
lar amount. Average weekly earnings were
$74.99 after taxes for a worker with three
dependents!, up 5 per cent since a year ago,
but, because of price rises, these earnings
will buy only one per cent more than a
year ago.
Hardest hit by the rising cost of living
is the citizen with a fixed income, or those
living on pensions, and the salaried worker,
whose paycheck is not automatically in
creased as the cost of living rises.
Babson Discusses The Citrus Industry
Babson Park. Mass , April n.—
When a very small boy I remember
my father driving bis horse and
buggy to Salem. 15 miles away, to
ret an orange for his very sick
aunt. Those were the days when no
Christmas was complete unless we
found a" orange in the toe of the
st eking which we hung by the fire
side before going to bed on Christ
mas Eve. I remember later one
orange was given by the public
school principal as a reward for
having perfect attendance for the
entire school year
Growth of the Orange Industry
In 19(H) the entire state of Florida
produced Only 1.000.000 boxes of
oranges. In 1923. when I first came
to Florida, production was only
10.000.0000 boxes This year it will
be 95.000.0000 or 100.0000000 boxes.
With babies continuing to be given
orange Juice as their first food and
w th continued heavy advertising,
nothing can stop the demand for
o'ange .mice Furthermore, there
have been great improvements and
developments in the indusry.
When I first came to Florida win
ters only, "whole fruit" was shipped
out of the state and sold. Then,
about 25. years ago, the co-opera
tives were developed and some
orange juice was then canned. This,
however, always had a little bitter
taste. Some 10 years ago the
"frozen concentrate" was invented.
This gives exactly the same taste
as the fresh juice and has greatly
increased the consumption of orange
juice as well as the health of the
entire nation.
The American Habit
Most orange juice is drunk just
before breakfast. This means that
the frozen concentrate must be
mixed with water and thoroughly
melted some, ten minutes before
i serving. This has caused a growing
| demand for a new product known
as "chilled" orange juice. As soon
as this juice is squeezed from the
orange it is stored and ransported
to the large cities of the North in
refrigerated trucks at about 40 de
grees temperature, so that the juice
: holds its perfect flavor. It is then
put in paper cartons and delivered
by the dairy companies along with
the morning milk. As a result, the
housewife can lie in bed ten min
utes longer This is taking on like
wild fire.
Although citrus fruits can be
safely raised in only a small part
of Florida and the United States,
yet there is competition between
Florida. Texas. Arizona, and especi
ally California The latter state,
however, is growing so fast that
orange groves are becoming more
valuable as home sites and citrus
production is decreasing.
Keeping up to Date
All of this competition results in
constantly improved quality and in
keeping the price within the reach
of all families. Hence, with the con
stant growth in population, demand
will continue to Increase But North
America is not the only market for
citrus juices. Foreign governments
are also recognizing their great
health value.
The English government is buying
the juice in a super-concentrated
non - refrigerated form, like mo
lasses. and distributing it to its
babies to supplement a small supply
received from Spain, Italy, and
other Mediterranean sources. To
s et good products, however, these
countries must import phosphate
and other fertilizer chemicals, most
of wluch come from Florida close
by the center of the Florida citrus
industry. This gives Florida an ad
vantage over all the world.
Great Opportunities Are Elsewhere
I. however, am not telling this
story about the citrus industry just
to boom Florida. I am telling it
to show what a group of farmers
can do by uniting in co-operatives
and getting the help of research
and advertising. The citrus industry
has never had subsidies or price
guarantees. It has fought its own
battles without any limiting of
1 acreage or government loans on sur
plus crops.
When cannot the farmers of our
' Central West and South do the same
| thing with their surplus corn, wheat,
cotton, and other products? Henry
Ford once said to me: “When the
farmers wake up and quit crying
on Uncle Sam's shoulders they can
find a great use and market for
their products as raw materials in
industry.” Agriculture needs a great
leader like Henry Ford and the
national advertising which the hum
ble citrus growers of Florida are
giving their products.

Letters To Editor
“I’m Building
A Bridge For Him”
Editor. The Herald:
One of the most appalling com
ments on our present way of life
is that too many of our hospital
beds are occupied by patients with
nervous and mental troubles. Some
have talent, beauty, riches, and
fame. But the priceless ingredient
is lacking which makes the other
possessions become a hideous tor
ment. This missing ingredient is
peace of . mind, it is the end of re
ligion, the object of philosophy: the
dream of the wretched, the quest
of the whole world.
If you lp©k carefully among the
people you know, not neglecting
yourself, you see that not one of
them is happy who does not love.
Without love all is futility. Sanity
and life itself would cease to exist.
"Faith. Hope. Love''—love is the
greatest, but faith is the first, with
out which the others cannot develop
This world was made to love in.
But doing clear# the mind. If any
one's heart is full of love, and his
hands full of service, he has no
morbid "problems." He has solved
the riddle of life.
If you build a house or construct
a road or a bridge, you are in a
sense building for others, for you
cannot use these things alone.
One of the best poems extolling
the merit and service of a bridge
builder was written by Will Allen
Dromgoole. Here it is:
An old man trudging a lone
highway «
Came at the evening, cold and
gray.
To a chasm, vast and deep

I_I
ami wide.
The old man crossed in the
twilight dim.
The sullen stream had no fear
for him.
But when he was safe on the
other side.
He built, a bridge to span the
tide.
"Old man," said a fellow pil
grim near.
"You are wasting your time
building here.
You've crossed the stream at
the close of day
And you never again will come
this way."
The old man lifted his fine
gray head.
"In the path I have come, my *
friend." he said
"There fulloweth after me to
day
A youth whose feet must pass
this way.
The chasm that was as naught
to me,
To the fair-haired youth may
a pitfall be
He. too. must cross in twi
light dim.
Good friend. I am building a
bridge for him."
With kind regards to the staff of
the Herald. I am.
Double Check
This .) the beginning of the
inding. so I'm told, of just what
I don't know but with the Re
publicans in we are likely tp wind
ap with only two mails, male and
female. Where they get the idea
af stopping business to save
money beats my time Anybody'd
think the old boat was about to
sink. In the campaign the great
cry and promise was economy and
cut expenditures, now they're in
and it's billions or bust. The
Democrats closed down all the
banks and the Republicans closed
all the PostOffices . . . we should
live so long.
This may bring about a high
postage rate that may do away
with so-called •■junk” mail. Only
the well to do will be able to
carry on any kind of follow up
correspondence by mail. Mail ord
er concerns will set up their own
mail service handled by their own
trucks. That "the mail must go”
is just another bubble that bust
ed. Tile goverment must be run
at a proffit, suffer who may. We
could do even without the Presi
dent these days ... let the nation
grow up in pines and ignorance.
Even progress gets lousy in this
administration . . GOP. and the
Dixie Deal.
Almond charges the O O P. Ad
ministration with using Federal
Judicial as bait. etc. Dalton de

publicaiis do is deny.
Thanks for reading . . . better j

The second demonstration was on

A third demonstration was given
by Gerald Driver It was on fuses
and why you should not use a penny
instead of a fuse.
The fourth demonstration was
given on frayed cords and how to
put on and take off a plug on the
cord.
The class learned a lot from these
demonstrations and I’m sure out
homes will be much safer with the
knowledge we gained from them.

Dangerous Moment ! j
Ac this moment, a beautiful, green forest can be
saved or destroyed
If you think, the cigarette will be snuffed out
safely. If you do not think, another terrifying for
est fire may well be on its way.
Last year, just such careless moments started
approximately 190.000 forest fires. They de
stroyed enough timber to build all the houses
in a city of a half million population. They cost
America and you well over one billion dollars!
So won't you please be extra careful this year?
Be careful with cigarettes, matches, campfires,
any fire. Nine out of ten forest fires are caused
ft
by people —people like you. I
Only you can I
PREVENT FOREST HUES!
