The RieurreciloA
By st. Matthew. One of the Twelve
’ 1 Iii the end of the sabbath, as
it began to dawn toward the first
day of the week, came Mary Mag
..dalene and the other Mary to see
the sepulchre.
2. And. b. hold, there w.-.s a
gieat earthquake: f ir ’he angel
of the Lord descended from heav
en. and came and rolled back tin
stone from the door, and sat upon
it.
3 His countenance wv like
lightning, and Hi.s raiment white
as snow:
4 And for fear of Him the
keepers did shake, and became as
dead men.
ft. And the angel answered and
said unto the women. Fear not
ye: for I know tliai ye seek Jesus,
which was crucified.
6. He is not here: for He is
risen, as He said. Come, see the
place where the Lord lay.
7. And go quickly, and tell His
disciples that he is risen from the
dead: and behold. He garth before
you into Galilee: there shall ye
see Him: lo. I have told you.
8. And they departed quickly
from the sepulchre with fear and
great joy: and did run to bring
His disciples word.
9 And as they went to tell His
disciples, behold. Jesus met them
saying. All hail. And they came
and held Him by the feel, and
worshipped Him.

At Farmville Bank Formal Opening
The First National Bank of Farm
ville has issued invitations to a
formal opening of its new banking
quarters on Thursday evening. April
2.'i. from 7.BO to 10 o'clock.
The banking quarters will be com
plete for the formal opening For
the past fourteen months const ruc
tion has been under way, while
"business as usual" has been con
ducted The former banking quar
ters and building at flic corner of
Mam and Third streets have been
entirely removed as the new bank
building was constructed around
them.
“We appreciate the spirit of our
customers and their patience during
the construction period." Waller
Sanford, executive vice-president,
said. "We are sure that the ease
and comfort of transacting bu : e •
— ur }ua.acuidwOriifc./
repay us all for those inconveni
ences of construction.”
The new banking quarters contain i
over 4.00(1 square feet of floor spare.
The spacious lobby, the new offices
for the bank's executives and the
arrangement of teller facilities
make transaction of business easy
and pleasurable in the new quarters
The bookrepitic department,
while easily accessible, is located in
a department of its own Modern
machinery for handling the large
volume of business has been in
stalled. and will be installed, for the
convenience of the customers.
Murals, depicting the economic life
of Southside Virginia, decorate the
walls.

Stoddard won't find the flights

flammable spring fire season too
much of an innovation. He was an
Air Force mechanic during World
War If service.
The spring of 1957. with abundant
rams, has been relatively free of
fire troubles, according to Stoddard.
He reports a total of 20 fires, burn
ing over about 85 acres, since the
first of the year.
A few days of spring wind and no
rain, however, can change things.
That's why he's taking to the air.

Hours Remain As
Reminder of Cut
A.s President Eisenhower signed
a 41-million-dollar appropriation
hill Tuesday. Postmaster General
Summerfield issued a promise that
most of the cuts in postal service
would be restored within 24 hours.
I). \V. Paulette Farmvtlle post
master. received a communication
Wednesday restoring most of the
service ruts locally. The only
change here will be in the time of
opening and closing of the stamp,
general delivery, and parcel post
window It will now open at 8:30
a. m. and close at 5pm The reg
istered mail and money order
window w ill he lhe same as it na^
in the past: opening at 9 a m.
and closing at 5 p. m. All other
functions will he placed on a
normal basis
Summerfield ordered the cuts
in mail service last week, when
operating funds for the fourth
quarter ran short. He asked for 47
million dollars additional, and re
ceived 41 million
Summerfield said the depart
ment is still faced with a difficult
job to maintain service within the
funds available. However he said
some savings had already accum
ulated as a result of last week
ends close down and the service
limitations the first of this week.
The total amount of mone - in
the bill signed by Eisenhower was
for 523 million dollars, but only
the 41 million dollars for the pos:
offic* department was in dispute
Other items in the bill included
$800,000 for senate investigation
200 million dollars for rural elec
trification loans, 250 million in
federal grants to the states for

45 Per Cent State
Income Tax Filers
Facing Deadline
t 1.400
Edward County's 3.000 State in
come tax tilers fill out returns
soon, the May 1 deadline may
catch up with them.
Commissioner of Revenue V. C.
Womack said Thursday morning
that about 55 per cent of those
required to file, or 1.600 persons,
have filed returns.
The accelerated program, ef
fective this spring for tiic first
time, requires payment of the 1956
State income tax with the return
Peisonal property returns are also
due May 1 but payment of those
will follow the previous require
ment—due next Dec. 5. togethei
with real estate taxes.
Commissioner Womack made
two words of caution about the
income tax form: '1* filers with
sizeable deductions should itemize
them to see whether they account
for more than the automatic de
duction of five per eent. and '2'
husband and wife teams should
take sufficient time to see whe
ther a joint return or separate
returns for each is most advan
tageous.
His office in the County Court
House is open at the regular
liours with assistance available to
help fliers with any questions con
cerning their tax obligation. There
is in the accelerated program,
which establishes for subsequent
years a new paying date for State
income tax. a provision for di
vided payments, one with tire re
turn. another later.

Dr. Moore and ‘ins Boys :
Dr Ray Moore, almost as closely identified with Hampden-;
Sydney as Venable Hall, dug into his storehouse of yarns to regale
members of the basketball squad at their banquet last Friday night.
The team physician and college doctor, who has lost none of his
euthu; ia in and love of sports since his graduation on the Hill a
long f>7 years ago. recalled a behind-the-front baseball game in
France when he was m that country with a lot of other American
lads keepings the Huns out of Paris about 1917.
An ambulance section man with the 80t.li Division, he was in a
ball game with others of his outfit whe nhe decided to shed liis
1< g pings to improve his peed on the base paths. Both sides burst
into laughter when the shedding revealed one red and one green!
st ekms in place of the olive drab a good army man should have
been wearing. He didn't draw any extra duty, though He had a good
day on the bases, and the first sergeant was on his team!

the st-rangets old Dr. Moore. -\Ve vowed if we ever got to Virginia
we would visit the school that produced men who could lose by that
much and still maintain an esprit, a determination to keep trying;
that they did. That'.s why were here." they said.
Then the venerable team physician brought himself up to date
with the 1956-57 basket-ball squad. "You see. you never know who j
may be wat 'hing you. When ver you go. you represent the college—
don't ever forget that."
To try to help Hill athletes remember his admonition, Dr. Moore.
Iwr'he wilh In son. Ray. has establish 'd an .award- the Moore

IIAMPDEN-SYDNE Y SIGMA ('HI'S were out in full foree Thursday to meet .1 Dwight Peterson.
Sigma Chi grand consul, on his trip to Virginia chapters. Above are; front row, William Banks Peter
son of Hollins: Dr. Ray A. Moore, college physician; Malcolm M. Christian. Richmond attorney
and Virginia grand praetor: Dr. D. M. Allan, head of the department of philosophy and director of
the guidance clinic, and Peterson, who is president of City Securities corporation in Indianapolis,
Ind.; back row Marcellos Waddill, instructor in mathematics, and Dr. Kay A .Moore, Jr. Farnivilie
physician.
Fraternity Head is Investment Hanker
Old Dominion Visit Brings Sigma Chi
National President To Hampden-Sydney
One might expect an active
fraternity man to guard his po
sition and that of his fraternity
against possible encroachment by
other fraternities. Not so.
Expanding college enrollments
have challenged the fraternity
system to further expansion, the
national president of one of the
nation's best known fraternities
said at Hampden-Sydnej Thurs
day.
J. Dwight Peterson, grand con
sul of Sigma Chi. noted that no
national fraternities have been
organized since 1.925. These .-re
now 61 national fraternities with
a membership of 1,600.000.
As Peterson sees it, fraternities
are faced with several alterna
tives. With tlie 'first, there would
be increased numbers of men in
each chapter.
Size Important
"Most of the chapters are al
ready as large as they should be
to fulfill the purposes of good
small group living." Peterson said
in deploring such a possibility.
A second possibility is further
expansion of existing fraternities
—having exist big fraternities es
tablish new chapters on other
campuses.
This is really no pat answer to
the problem, according to Peter
son, for when a fraternity reaches
the .size of Sigma Chi, with its
127 chaptt rs. there are few col
leges left where the fraternity
could establish new chapters.
Peterson's Virginia trio includ
ed a visit to such a college. The
University of Richmond, where
Chi Sigma has petitioned Sigma
Chi for membership. Peterson
quotes projected college enroll
ment figures to support this stand
for establishment of new fratern
ities.
During the week Peterson visit
ed each of the Sigma Chi chap
ters in the state. Since his elec- !
tion at the fraternity’s centennial
grand chapter in 1955 in Cincin
nati, Peterson has visited 82 Sig
ma Chi chapters.
His-trips have taken him from
coast to coast and into Canada,
where Sigma Chi has four chap
ters.
Home base is Indianapolis, Ind..
where Peterson is president of
City Securities corporation, an.
Indiana investment banking serv- I
ice.
His interest in education is I
widespread, for he is a trustee of
Indiana University and Hanover;
College, as well as president of
the Indianapolis school board
commission.
In the fraternity. Peterson has
served as grand trustee and as |
treasurer of Sigma Chi Founda
lowing accomplishments: conducted
16 farm enterprises, earning $1460;
: conducted 18 improvement projects;
applied 697 self hours: applied 37
improved practices: has $3,000 in
vested in farming; treasurer of
Piedmont FFA Federation: member
of crops, livestock and forestry
jjudging teams; and maintains a 90
scholastic average.
Lee took the livestock farming
award for the following reasons:
I owns six purebred Angus cows;
’ three Angus heifers, one purebred
Angus bull: one brood sow; five
pigs; seeded ten acres of pasture;
constructed 280 rods of fence: and
took several prizes at the various
local fairs.
Billy Lee also took the public
speaking award since he won over
18 other members in the chapter
and placed third in the Federation
contest
Harry Bryan was awarded the
farm mechanics award for the fol
lowing accomplishments: owns one
third interest in tractor, combine,
corn picker, plow, truck and mower,
helped construct a trailer: recon
u.i.oned a mower; serviced and op
erated tractor and combine; helped
c nstruct broiler house and two
sheds; assisted in putting modern
plumbing fixtures In home: and con
structed 65 rods of hog fence.
tion. Ills son, John D. Peterson,
was consul of the Sigma Chi
chapter at Indianapolis Universi
ty. A daughter. Mrs. D. C. Dan
ielson, is married to a Sigma Chi
and living in New Castle, Ind.
Mrs. Peterson, the nation's num
ber one Sweetheart of S;gma Chi.
is a member of Sigmas, an organ
ization of Sigma Chi wives
Only outsider in this Sigma Chi
family is Mrs. Robert Ravens
burg, Peterson’s daughter, who is
married to a Theta Chi. Peterson
brushes this off, telling the story
of his grandson, now three, who
tells his Theta Chi father that
he’s going to be a Sigma Chi—
“just like Pete.”
Peterson's visit to Hampden
Sydney College was "purely so
cial” he told the members of Sig
ma Sigma chapter. "I am glad tc
say that there's not a tiling that
I have to check on." lie said.
He was welcomed by Dr. Joseph.
C Robert. Hampden-Sydney pre
sident and a member of Sigma
Chi. Sigma Chi faculty members.
Dr D. M. Allan. Dr. R. A. Moore
and Marcellus Waddill, were on
hand to greet Peterson.
Mrs. Peterson and Malcolm M.

Hope and Promise
'T'HE resurrection of Christ and his ascen
■* sion is our hope for eternal lile in the
spirit. It is God’s promise of eternal life
for those who believe through faith. East
er, the celebration of the resurrection, is
the most important celebration for Chris
tians.
The Christian influence lives today in
every phase of life—social, government,bus
iness. It can be seen in the lives of individu
als, in governments, in nations. There is a
tranquility, a strength, a force in individu
als or groups of individuals where the true
spirit of Christianity is found.
Why? Through faith comes an unex
plainable power. Through faith burdens
are lightened. Through faith there is also
hope—hope and a promise—of eternal life,
not of this world but in the world to come.
Easter, for Christians, brings a renewal
of this faith, nope and promise.
May we celebrate Easter in true rever
ence and Christian faith.
Mid-East Hot Spot
rrilE danger of war impends in the Mid
die East and the latest Israeli asser
tions that interference with its shipping
rights in the Suez Canal would lead to ac
tion on the part of Israel is an ominous
warning.
The situation was worsened in recent
recent days because of Egypt’s apparent
retreat from an agreement made with the
l'nited States and Britain several months
ago. At that time, Egypt agreed to six
principle.! as a basis of settlement of the
S lez Canal issue. However, the latest
Egyptian proposal merely states that
Egypt, proposes to run the Suez Canal. It
i not a proposal for any international col
laboration and seems to signify a harden
ing attitude on the part of Cairo.
Meanwhile, Israel has announced that
she is willing to negotiate at. any time on
the problem, of Arab refugees who fled Is
rael in 1948. This has been a vexing issue
between the Arabs and Israel, because the
plight of these Arab refugees is actually
a pitiful one, which should be solved in the
interest of humanity.
1 he Israelis, who have withdrawn from
the Gaza Strip and from heights overlook
ing the Gulf of Aqaba, are in the position
J
of having withdrawn on the assumption
that they would gain benefits by doing so.
If the Israelis gain nothing from their
withdrawal, and their recent war is left
without having achieved any advantages
whatsoever, the government of President
Ben Gurion will be under heavy pressure
to act to save face and to satisfy the Israeli
population. Therein lies the danger of war
in the Middle East.
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles
has indicated a crisis may develop in the
near future and these developments may
occur before you read these lines. The
United States is committed to Israel’s po
sition and has affirmed its beliefs in the
rights of Israel to use the Suez Canal and
the Gulf of Aqaba.
However, we do not believe the Arab
States intend to give in on this point, and
when the showdown on this question comes,
the crisis in the Middle East may be as hot
as ever. In case of war between Israel and
the Arab States, the United States should
do everything possible to keep clear of it.
The picture is unclear at the moment, j
and Washington can only hope that it will 1
be possible to localize any conflict which
may develop.
Atomic Defenses
IjF.sm'K the fact that atumic bombs
" have lieen exploding since 1015 — and
that is twelve years ago — the United
States today is the most vulnerable to
atomic attack of all the major nation, with
the possible exception of Great Britain.
The British can do very little about their
situation, which is aggravated by the
smallness of the island and its nearness to
Europe. However, they may have already
done more than the United States.
In this country, our armament industry
is concentrated in metropolitan areas and
an atomic attack on many of our defense
plants and industrial cities, where so much
of our industry is located, would cause un
told havoc and destruction.
In spite of this obvious fact, no one has
been able to face the terrific problem of
building sufficient underground facilities,
factories and shelters to carry on a war ef
fort in case we are surprised by an enemy
attack. The Civil Defense effort in the
United States is fine, as far as it goes, but
no one has given Civil Defense enough
thought or enough push to actually pre
pare this country for eventualities which
will occur in case of Sudden attack.
Russia has reportedly made far greater
preparation for surviving atomic attacks
than the United States. Russia is reported
to have many factories in the Ural Moun
tains, widely dispersed, and the Russian
economy could probably function more ef
ficiently after an atomic attack than could
ours. The Russians also have a natural ad
vantage of a greater area, and this makes
it all the more advisable for the United
States to safeguard its industrial centers.
This has not been done, is not being done
and probably will not be done sufficiently
in the near future.
Wv are once again trusting to luck, faith
and the stars, which may be neutral.
Tied-In Transportation
HTUK Greyhound Hus Lines have signed a
contract with 16 passenger airlines and
two freight carrying air companies to sup
plement air freight with bus stop delivery.
This will mean that almost any village on
a main highway will have air freight serv
ice available to it. the freight traveling ma
jor portions of its journey by air and being
transported from the air line city terminal
to the addressee by bus.
This is simply part of many steps which
different types of carriers are taking to
keep up with—and meet the competition of
-other types of carriers. The Chesapeake
and ('hi" Railroad some time ago arranged
for interchange of rail and air freight with
Slick Airways, one of the largest air freight
trai sport companies in the world. Various
railroads now are piling truck trailer units
on fiatcars to he hauled from rail head to
rail head. A Calitornia railroad is building
a pipeline on its right of way to use, in lieu
o. tank ears, lor transportation of petrol
eum products.
All of these things are excellent steps
and indicate new progressiveness and ag
gressiveness on the part of those concern
ed. There was a time when the railroads
thought the only way to protect their own
interests was to fight the bus lines and the
air lines. That attitude did not last long be
cause the railroads soon realized that if
some other form of transportation gave
better service to the public, the public
would use that form of transportation.
Railroads still are struggling to regain
lost breath in the field of passenger trans
portation but they have made some gigan
tic strides of late in freight transportation
-—and some in passenger, too.
There is no reason why air, bus and rail
transportation should not all tie in togeth
er for the benefit of each and especially for
the benefit of the public.

Virginians
E have been taught from childhood that
” Virginians are distinguished not only by
their good works and successes in business,
government, education, or the arts, but also
because of a graciousness, a courteousness,
good manners, an unaffectation, an innate
sense of propriety. Virginians recognize
and appreciate customs and mores,—proud
but not arrogant.

God's D-Day
I.csson for April 21, 1957
ONE OF the most famous of
Easter hymns begins: “The
strife is o'er, the battle done. The
Victory of life is won . . Among
the many true meanings of Christ's
death and resurrection is this:
Christ has conquered sin and
death. All that death and sin could
do to him, was done: yet he "rose
a victor o er tne
dark domain,” as
another familiar
hymn goes. The
last word of Je
sus to his dici
ples, as Matthew
reports it. begins
—"All authority
has been given
me . ." Easter
is not a season Dr- Foreman
for puzzles; and yet all this does
raise a question in the minds of
both Christians and unbelievers.
If it is true that Christ has won
for us the victory over sin and
death, if it is true that it is He
who has the true authority over
man and history, how is it that the
world racks along in such a slow,
painful, frustrated sort of way 1
Looking at a slum, or a battlefield,
or a cemetery, or a jail, looking
at life as it is lived on this planet,
would we guess that God had won
a tremendous victory over the
powers of evil?
D-Day Is Not V-Day
A theologian of our time, Oscar
Cullman has given an answer to
this in the simplest terms We
live, he says, in the interval, so to
speak, between D-Day and V-Day
All who can remember back to
June 6, 1944. remember the tre
mendous victory of that hard
fought D-Day. But the war went
on for nearly a year after that.
Was D-Day, then, a failure? By
no means. With D-Day the war
v. as virtually won The enemy had
little chance, after that; but it
took a lot of fighting, and some of
.1. like the Battle of the Bulge,
costly and disheartening. So we
arc living, in the time between
Car:. ' s ascension and his coming
igain in glory, as it were between
D-Day and V-Day. '
Whal God Has Done
What has been accomplished by
God's D-Day? One thing is, that
God's power has been shown, once
and for all. Over and over in the
New Testament, especially in the
letters of Paul, the power with
which God raised Christ from the
dead is called the same power that
works in Christians. The victory
over sin and death which we see
in Christ, can be the hope and to
an increasing degree the exper
ience of our own livis. There real
ly is a difference between living
in the world before Christ and af
ter. All that Christ was and did
and said, climaxed by the resurrec
tion. are ever before our minds if
we only think. Before Christ, no
one on earth really know what
God could do. Since Christ, men
of faith do know. The oilier achieve
ment of D-Day's victory is, for us,
sharing in God's certainty of vic
tory which finally shall be com
plete. One of the easiest and subt
lest temptations into which we can
fall is to wonder whether God may
not at last be overwhelmed by a
universe which he created but can
not now control. Realizing what
D-Day means, we need never have
such fears.
What We Must Do
Calvary and Easter have prac
tical messages for the Christian.
They are not mere admiration
days, when we can sing happily
about what God has done. They
are challenge-days calling us to
thought, attitude, action, as befits
children of the mighty God. As for
death, we can see clear through
it.' Christ has shown us the glory
on the other side. As for sin, Christ
bore our sins with Him "to the
tree’’ as Peter said The power
that wrought in Him is available
for us in our struggles against evil.
But there is something more than
this. John Baiilie speaks of our
era. between the time of Jesus
and the end of time, as "the years
of grace," that the great task of
Christians is just the very thing
which Matthew leaves with his
readers as the climax of his story
of Christ. "All authority has been
given me . . . therefore—(sit down
and be at ease’.’ wait quietly for
the end? spend your time singing
| my praises? no. none of these,) —
| therefore GO, and Make Discip
i les,” The going, winning Christian
is the one in whom the victory of
Easter moves on toward final tri
; umph.

Return of Spring
When winter's days are here no more,
When things aawke from sleep,
When from my lake below the hill
I hear spring froggies cheep
When I see violets show themselves
And springtime crocus flowers,
I bid farewell to winter, and
Enjoy spring's pleasant hours.
I soon will see returning birds
That come to us each spring;
From winter homes they will come back
To us on joyful wing.'
The buttercup in meadows soon
Will lift its golden head
To prove to me without a doubt
That winter's days are fled.
And we who know we soon must pass
Because our course is run,
Will bosk again, enjoying life
In springtime's warming sun
How good it is to be alive
When springtime's sunshine is here,
To hear the music made by birds
And breathe the scented air
L D WHITAKER
Double Check
When is Spring? Snow flakes
and blossoms look good together
byt most people slowed down to
the new kind of weather and
spring opening. It takes all sorts
of weather to make a year. Oh;
boy we get it.
And while the American tax
payers are deploring and enjoying
all this the Administration is
, kicking each other in the side
trying new methods to get more
! money out of you folks what seem
to be entirely too happy . . . eco
nomy, bah!
Balancing the budget? Slim
Summerfield knows how. He cre
ates new expenditures and spends
the full allotment and evens off
with nothing one quarter ahead
of the time for which the appro
piation was made. The editors
and newspapers will handle that
one.
Maybe some cabinet member
will go on a shutdown to get a
new appropriation. Never heard of
such a thing before. None of the
founders of our brand of democ
racy had it in their setup but
things can happen, and they did.
This teaches us if wc really
want anything bad get out and
yell. That seventy-two billion
looks more possible now than ever
before, and no tax cut in sight is
assured.
That Omnibus Civil Rights Bill
stumbled onto the right of trial
by jury and there she be for a
spell. Congress is doing a mighty
heap of just plain wig-wagging.
I hope Miss Sally Ryan enjoyed
the Washington trip. Thanks for
the visits, and thanks for reading.

Cumberland Receives
Decade-Old Plans
For War Memorial
Plans for a war memorial, orig
inally suggested over a decade
ago, were discussed by a group of
Cumberland county citizens Mon
day.
After World War II, a fund
drive was conducted to raise
money for the erection of a me
morial to Cumberland's World
War II veterans. The monument
was to be placed in the court
house yard, where there is a sim
lar monument to veterans of the
War Between the States.
Approximately $600 were col
lected at the time, and then noth
ing else was done. Various com
munity organizations have tri^d
to get at the money from time
to time through the years, and fi
nally Monday a group of donors
decided to go ahead with the orig
nal plans for a monument.
M. E. Blanton, who was chair
man of the original group, was
continued in that office, as was
Mrs. Eleanor S. Nuckols, treas
urer. J. T. Williams was elected
secretary.
At the Monday meeting, the
secretary was instructed to ob
tain a list of all Cumberland cit

Mechanization to
Ease Farm Load
New and Better
Equipment Coming
A new era in farm mechaniza
tion to help farmers increase their
pet acre income is predicted in a
lepoit prepared by two Purdue
1 'mvei sitv professors.
Released by the Farm Equip
ment Institute, the report was
prepared by Prof. J. Carroll Bot
tom and Dr, J. O Dunbar. The
study credits improved farm
equipment as making possible a
large .hare of the increased ef
ficiency taking place on farms in
the past 15 years, pointing out
that in 1940 each farm worker in
agriculture supplied 10 others
with J id. while in 1955 each farm
.. ■i ke! supplied food for 19 others.
■'During this same 15 years,”
the report continues, "labor re
quircments, percentagewise, were
Maybe we have overdone it
with the above illustration, but
experts say that mechanization
will make the farmer's job
much easier in the future.
reduced almost as much as dur
ing the previous 120 years."
The Purdue economists predict
that ‘‘wage rates will rise more
than equipment prices and con
tinue to make it profitable to sub
stitute more and more machinery
for labor both on the farm and
in the factory."
■ Present types of equipment
will be improved and new equip
ment to perform tasks now per
formed by human labor will be de
veloped and put into profitable use
by farmers."
“As a result of labor prices ris
ing faster than farm machinery
prices." the study reports, "it
takes less days of hired labor to
buy almost any item of farm ma
chinery than it did in 1940."
Chick Profit Lies
In Bigger Flocks
"Egg money,” traditional source
of income foi the American farm
wife, may soon disappear from
our agriculture economy.
New trends in the production
and marketing of poultry products
are rapidly making inroads on the
small Mocks of chickens which
have dotted American barnyards
. nd k-'pt the farm wife in spend
ing money.
■Researchers at Pennsylvania
State university college of agri
culture already have been suc
r, - slid ;n ti ipling the number of
laying hens in c single poultry
g.-nsr thro mil solar design and
eliicieitt mechanization of the
house,” said W. Everett Eakin,
farm service director of Libbey
Ov. ens-Furd Glass Company.
Flocks of a few hundred birds
oi h -s. common on many farms
:• short time ago, are giving way
to Mocks of layers ranging from
1,000 to 10.000 birds, Eakin said.
The Penn State solar house utr
o . through insulating glass the
un's rays for heat in the wintei
and shades the birds from high
temperatures in the summei
months.
Farmers Find
Insect Activity
On The Increase
The farmer’s continuous battle
against bugs is getting into full
swing in Virginia.
In his weekly summary of insect
activity in the state, VPI associate
'entomologist Arthur P. Morris says
the alfalfa weevil continues to
spread, but growth and hatching of
larvae has been slowed down con
siderably by the cool and rainy
weather. Control measures may not
be needed in all the counties re
ported to be infested for the first
time this year Individual fields will
have to be watched to determine
whether or not to treat.
The pea aphid is causing trouble
in Some areas. General spraying
likely will not be needed, but
farmers should watch out for this
pest.
Army worm outbreaks in small
grains may develop earlier than
usual this year. Reports of damage
to grains in South Carolina have al
ready been received. There is no
evidence for a prediction that this
will be an "army worm year," but
there are at least a few scattered
outbreaks every year.
Sheep scab mites were found on
1,811 of 10.113 head inspected in
Virginia during February, and most
of the sheep were dipped. Sheep
scabies is a disease that must be
reported to proper authorities. Con
trols are carried out under the of
fice of the state veterinarian.
Tobacco plant beds should be
watched for flea beetle and green
June beetle damage. If the weather
turns warm and dry, these two in
sects likely will start damaging
plants any day now.
More spider mites than usual for
this time of year are present on
strawberries in the Norfolk area.
Morris says county agents can
give control measures for all in
sects mentioned.

Sudden Switch From Winter Feed To
Spring Pasture Is Not Recommended
A sudden switch from winter feed
; to spring pasture in the dairy herd
may do more harm than good.
That's the warning from Dr. M
F. Ellmore. dairy specialist at
VPI. who says that it is extremely
important to make a gradual change
from winter to spring feeding. Turn
the cows on spring pasture only
I after they have been filled up on
ilie winter ration.
Increase gradually the amount of
time the cows are allowed on pas
ture so they will always have
enough dry matter and can become
adjusted to the summer ration.
Regardless of how good the pas
ture may be. the cows should have
access to some good quality dry
roughage every day They probably
won't eat very much while the pas
ture is good, Ellmore says, but they
apparently need some dry material
throughout the pasture season.
This practice may prevent the ex
tremely high peak production im
mediately after the change from
winter feeding, but it will also pre
vent the slump that usually follows
the increase and will prove to be
! an economical practice in the long
run. It will, help maintain a more
1 even flow of milk and also will pre
. vent the grass and onion flavors
in milk which too often accompany
the advent of the pasture season.
In general the same procedure
should be used with dairy heifers.
They will undergo some loss of
flesh if they are changed directly
from dry winter feed to i full feed
of pasture grasses. This is pftrticu
: larly true of heifers under one year
| of age. It is almost impossible for
them to hold enough of the lush
watery grass to maintain their nor
mal growth rate without at least
some kind of dry feed.
There is another important reason
why animals should be conditioned
gradually to pasture. Ellmore says.
If the crop is predominately ladino
clover, there is danger of bloat. A
full feed of dry hay or a full feed
of the winter ration before turning
the cows on ladino will materially
lessen the chance of bloat.
Young Farmers
[.and Judging At
Powhatan Next Week
The fifth annual young farmers
land judging contest will be held
near Powhatan Thursday. April 23.
according to Jimmie Dodd, of
Louisa county, president of the
Young Farmers Association of Vir
ginia. The number of Young Farm
ers competing in the contest will
be limited to 12 individuals from
each of the six sections of the state.
Cash awards totalling $250 con
tributed by the Smith Douglass
Fertilizer Company of Norfolk will
be presented to the ten high indi
viduals and the members of the
two high s coring land judging
teams.
Contestants will be scored on tin .:
ability to select the soil conserva
tion practices needed to conserve
the soil and improve its producti
bility, m five different fields The
contestants will also classify the
different fields as to their land
capability, erosion, slope, drainage,
permeability, depth, subsoil cons: -
Questions of The Week
Q—Whdt can 1 plant now for hay
this year?
A—It is too late to plant many
hay crops, but there's still time to
seed sweet sudan and pearl millet
for summer grazing and hay,
Q—When and how often should
tobacco plants be treated to control
blue mold? What materials are
recommended?
A—Treat twice eacli week and
after heavy rains with ferbam or
/.ineb. Start treatments when the
plants are about the size of a dime
Q—IT w much and what analysis
of fertilizer should I use on pea
nuts'’
A—It will depend on many con
dition;- The first thing you should
do is have a soil test run. Fertilize
[according to results. Generally,
recommendations are for 400 to 60i
pounds per acre of 0-10-20.
Q If it rains soon after spraying
alfalfa for the weevil, will I have to
spray again9
A -Check the fields three or foui
days after the rain. If most taround
7.5 per cent of the insects are dead

Delay Much Farm
Work Last Week
During the early part of the week
emJing April 12. rani and wet soil
prevented many farm activities,
thus retarding still further the gen
eral progress of farm work. Pas
tures, small grains, and commer
cial vegetables generally made fav
orable growth during the week.
Precipitation on April 8 and 9 was !
general throughout the state with
most stations reporting over an
inch. At Charlotte C. H., 2.1 inches
were reported. Freezing tempera
tures were reported at most stations
but little damage resulted. Four
stations reported a low of 2f! de
grees, and one a low of 24.
Crops
Pastures, which at this time are '
better than average, continued to |
make good progress. They are now !
providing about 50 per cent of the j
forage requirements of livestock.!
Wheat, barley and other fall sown:
grains continued to make rapid'
growth during the week.
Alfalfa has made satisfactory
growth, but weevil infestation is
widespread. Spraying is expected to
prevent serious damage. The out
look for fruit at the end of the week
was favorable but prospects at this
early date are uncertain.
Peaches were in bloom in most
sections of the State, but apples
have not bloomed yet. Little, if any.
damage resulted from the frosts on
the eleventh but cool weather was
helpful in retarding the opening of
apple buds.
Commerical vegetable crops, such
us peas, cabbage, spinach and other
greens continued to make favorable
growth Progress of tobacco plants
in beds is satisfactory.
Farm Work
Generally, progress of farm op
: orations was delayed by wet and
cold weather. Some of the principal
activities during the week were
plowing, preparing land for corn,
planting spring oats, spreading ma
nure. and top-dressing grains and
pastures with fertilizer.
Less frequently mentioned were
such activities as gardening, re
pairing fences, seeding lespedeza. I
grasses and alfalfa, and spraying
fruit trees and alfalfa fields. Trans
planting of tomatoes had started in
the Norfolk section and on the Eas
tern Shore. Commercial sweet po
tato growers were setting plant
beds. Tobacco beds were being
treated to control blue mold and
insects Corn planting started in all
except the western and southwestern ;
counties.

Once Popular Resort
There are nti-es in the ground
v. N"r s mo of the cottages once
s'oed. the last remains of a 40-by
loo foot d’riing hall and the chim
in y ol th.f old office building, but
it takes an active imagination to
people the place again as it must
have li en when Amelia Springs
was a popular summer resort.
No one seems to know the origin
'■f Amelia Sulphur Springs. The
property was deeded to Francis:
Willson by Thomas F. Willson, who
died in 1841 at the age of 66. Fran
ct Willson is said to have built the
Springs on the 685-acre tract. W R.
Turner, who wrote an article on
the Springs, notes that some of the
frame building were probably al
ready standing when Willson took
possession. Brick buildings, and
possibly some additional cottages;
were erected during his ownership.
When Frank Willson died, the
property passed on to Thomas
Clairborne Willson, in 1843. It was
under bis direction that Amelia Sul
phur Springs teached the height of
its popularity as a fashionable re
sort .
in 1848. Thomas C Willson adver
li'-t'd: Will be opened 1st July for
visitors and can accomm date 75 or
too persons. Terms Board:Single
meal, 5ti cents: $1.25 day: St; per
week: $20 per month. Children and
servants half price. Horses 50 cents
per day."
In the ante bellum days, "practi
cally everyone of consequence went
to the Springs during the summer!
months, and to Amelia Springs re
paired many people of wealth and |
1 ;.h standing, for its fine sulphur I
water, something unusual in this!
section of the state, was unexcelled
in its curative powers and was j
known by this time far and wide." j
Turner reports.
"Its cuisine was also excellent.!
and the amusements and entertain-!
mi nts offered could not be sur
passed."
A daily stage met guests arriv
ing by train at Jetersville, three j
miles away. There were horseback i
riding, a race track, a monthly
muster day. large tournaments and
a rather gruesome sounding sport
A CHIMNEY marks the last remains of an Amelia Sulphur

Apoplexy Attack Ends Era
It was then end of an era when
Willson died in 1860. Willson and a
Negro were pumping the water out
of the spring when it mingled -nth
Flat Creek when an apoplexy at
tack caused him to fall into the
creek He either drowned or lied
of a stroke before the Negro c mid
reach him.
After his death, the now 1H20
acre property was sold to S. S. Cot
trell for $40.IX)0—Confederate mo .1 v.
later worth about 40 cents in 862
It remained in the Cottrell family
until it was sold to the Chesapeake
Corporaion, which now owns it
It was inevitable that An elia
Springs should play a part in the
history of the War Between the
States It was directly in the path
of the retreating a n d pursuing ;
armies.
The skirmish beween the soldiers
of Lee and Sheridan took place near
the Spring?. Sabots, shells, “min
ive" balls and an officer’s sword
have been found there. The sword
was found where Captain Ruther
ford, who had been married the
evening before in Petersburg, fell.
Mrs. Longs!reet. the wire of Gen
eral Lonpstreet. and their daughter
were staying at Cool Shade. S R.
Godsey's home, at the time of the
•skirmish. She had just returned
from visit ng her father up North,
b'inging with her a brace of silver
plated revolvers hidden in a big
wax doll that the little girl carried.
General and Mrs Picket!. General
and Mrs. Bradley T. Johnson and
General Johnston were but a few of
the noted guests who stayed at the
Springs.
An even better known guest was
Gen. Robert E. Lee. who spent
April 5. 1865 there oa his way to
Appomattox.

General Patton’s War-Time ‘Boswell*
Brings "Great American* Back To Life
Ev JOHN STECK

man of compassionate wrath who
c iki make a whole German vjl
' v man woman and child—scrub
■ it; lent es one oi its horrible con*
c -r.! ration camp: lived again for
Tarmviile Lions last Friday.
To pis! 1-packing general who
'■ u/ht with a flourish, but lies in
miple grave, by his own choice,
the European battlefield where
i rose to fame, came to life
■uvuch the fascinating recounting
• . Dr. James A. Wellard, of Long
wood College.
'I he Longwood associate professor
■ ! English, then a newspaper war
i rrespondeni. followed General
Patton from Africa to the Siegfried
I.aie, last stout battlement before
Berlin.
Wellard, who wrote a book based
ti his close observations of the
eneral and after researches which
collided talks with Patton's widow,
considers him "one of the great
oidiers in American History.’
Great American
The tali, straight, soldierly, me
culous combat general was one of
‘ip last of the soldiers of an era
now past— that of the romantic,
chivalrous type of warfare," Wel
lard recounted.
Like the brave knight of old
mounted on a charger who was
atisfied to unseat his opponent
without killing him. General Patton
' urned to the tank for his mount
.nid dangled pearl-handled pistols at
'as side in place of the by-gone
.sword.
A Virginian by lineage, educated
Virginia Military Institute and
West Point, the general was an
unmaculate, magnificant physical
oecimen." He competed as an
American Olympic athlete in 1912.
characteristically in the grandiose
event of individual prowess—the
pentathlon.
As a soldier he was brilliant, in
tactics and in logistics, extremely
corageous and directed his eam
-signs with a "great style", spiced
-• i'h profane urgings. Unlike the
British Montgomery, who moved
against the enemy only when his
preponderance in men and materiel
was in to l. Patton substituted swift- i
■ss, brilliance, drive and daring,
for numerical superiority. Only a !
":isoline-le-ss supply line could stop j
lorn.
Liberated Ras'ogne
In breath-taking fashion he con
founded and frightened the enemy,
ften into surrender. Patton's fav
orite fighting tool- his Second
Armored Division—thus once sur
fottnded the whole Seventh German
Army with devastating results to the
• winy Patton, too was the com
mander who liberated the Ameri
cans at Bastogne
His swift penetrations, which with
modern warefare repreiessions
nca left a trapped German convoy
shattered with 800 soldiers dead in
their vehicles, left a "fantastic fig
ure in enemy captured and materiel
destroyed.”
H courage, backed up as in
DR. J. A. WELLARD
other characteristics by impetuous
conviction, led to the slapping inci
dent in a troop hospital. General
Patton struck a recuperating soldier
who remarked that he "just couldn't
take it any longer." It momentarily
offended Patton's sense of courage
and patriotism.
The incident, which made news
around the world, "nearly broke
Patton". Wellard said. "It was o!
so serious a nature that even Eisen
hower didn't know what to do. he
added. But in the end. the Supreme
Commander made his decision on
warfare, not personalities—he had
to keep using Patton's fighting
ability.
Fuel-less Halt
If Patton's celebrated advance
through France after the coastal
break-through hadn't ground to a
fuel-less halt before the Siegfried
line, World War II might have been
o v e r much s o o n e r, Wellard
hazarded.
The Supreme Allied Headquarters
decision to divide existing gasoline
supplies all through the fighting
units gave the Germans time to re
group at their last great battlement.
When the allied fighting divisions
started to move again, they had to
pay for the halt.
General Patton “fought at the end
iT the era of gunpowder war, per
haps the last fighting in which per
sonal bravery and individual bril
liance made a difference," Wellard
said.
Men, women and children are fit
enemy for combat of atomic war
heads and nuclear energy, and;
“General Patton's way of warfare
f individual bravery and courage
:s charges is over, but the man
survives ” Dr. Wellard concluded.
Virginia had 10,721 patients in its
state hospitals from mental disease
in 1954.

i il Him I I li111— ■!
Singe they’re such small things, made of "sugar and spice and
everything nice,” you’d hardly think a little girl’s hands could play
such havoc.
They lose their mittens on the coldest days, and bake the muddiest
mud pies, and dabble in the messiest water colors. They pick wild
flower where poison ivy grows, and sometimes they help Daddy by
picking every bloom in his iris garden. They require quick treatment
when they’ve twisted the cat’s tail, and they're forever getting in the
way when the car door is closed. They steal around a Daddy’s neck
as he leaves for the office — and leave breakfast jelly on his collar.
They have forbidden dealings with matches, lease telephone's "off
the hook,” stray into nail polish, and write on walls with lovely
crayons.
And then, at the end of the day, a little girl puts her hands together
before her face, and the mischiefs of the day are forgotten as she says
in a small, sweet voice ”Now l lay me down to sleep . .
Those small hands will grow . . . wear a class ring ... an engage
ment ring ... a wedding ring. They'll move steadily through
life — until one day they’re stilled and laid gently one upon the other
in rest. And at that time, there'll be nothing more precious you
could have taught your child than the way to worship God.
This Easter — a time for awakening, for renewal, rebirth, rejuvenation —
be glad you live in a free country. IT glad you live in the United States where
God is not locked out, w here no one criticizes you for worshipping Him . . .
where you are not persecuted for teaching your children to place their hands
together in prayer for Salvation. In this land of many freedoms, the greatest
of them all is freedom of religion — for without this one priceless privilege,
there would be no other freedoms.

Buckingham Institute- Virginia s First Fottege For U omen
One of the historic exhibits to be
presented at the display April 26,
27 and 28 at Diilwyr, Elementary
School will be a collection of items
of interest about Buckingham Insti
tute, Vi ginia's first college for
women. .
The school opened almost 120
yeais ago to date, to be exact. May
3. 1837. The summer. 1972 issue of
the Virginia Cavalcad° made the
follcw ng description: "A new b-ick
building, still somewhat bare, re
ceived the excited girls It stood at
the top of a slight rise, surrounded
by worn-out tobacco land. The im
posing structure had been designed
and built by Carrol M. Shepard, a
local contractor Its .72 rooms pro
vided .space for 12 i students and all
the activities of the school "
The Institute Community Is known
as Gravel Hill, named from the post
Office that used to serve the com
munity. There are still some of the
original res donees there and the
one remaining building of the Insti
tute is the president's cottage which
is not the home of W IJ Waycaster.
The hill in front of the house was
where the school house once stood
The building was destroyed by fire
in 1906.
The school closed its doors in 1863,
. due mainly to the Civil War which
laid a heavy hand on all education
in the South. The building after
wards was used to house refugees
who fled before the advancing Union
armies ,
The birth of the school is des
cribed in the Virginia Cavalcade as
follows: "In 1832 some of the lead
ing citizens of Buckingham and
neighboring counties met at ‘Bell
mont'. the home of Theoderick C.
Gannaway. For a long time they
had been discussing the need for a
school for young ladies. They
wanted their teen-age daughters to
have a collegiate education similar
to that given their sons at Randolph
Macon and Hampden-Sydney. . The
founders talked over the problem of
a faculty and chose a 140-acre site
in Buckingham county 12 miles
south of New Canton on the Rich
mond-Lynchburg stage road. It is
now about three miles from Alpha."
The stage road is referred to as
"horn-quarter" road by local resi
dents. They say a horn was blown
every quarter of a mile as the stage
approached, so the road was called
ho. n-quarter.
Sevo al of the old buildings in the
"Gavel Hill" commuir'ty are
c! selv connected with the history
of the Inst tuu The tavern and
store of John S West was called
the Institute St ire some 100 years
ago. West was one of the local citi
zens instrumental in getting the in
stitute chartered and he ser veasd
secretary to the board of trustees.
One of the articles to be exhibited
next week is a photostatic copy of
some of the reco’ ds kept by John
West in lus store. The originals are
in the archives at William and Mary
College At one place it showed
room and board for a person was
per month and his horse was
charged $10 per month. The old
.stoic and tavern have been remod
eled and renovated by Dudley R.
West, grandson of the original
owner.
Other points of interest in the
community include the home of J.
Francis West, originally a part of
the B. A Brown property; the home
of Mrs. Edna Dennis: the old Gravel
Hill homesite and postoffice, which
is now owned by Cha-lie Waycaster,
and the home of C H. Agee. Sr.,
whose father and grandfather were
foremost in founding the school.
This will be only one of the ex
hibits displayed by the Woman's
Chib. All citizens in the county are
invited tu exhibit items of historical
interest at Dill w y n Elementary

CHILEAN NITRATE OF SODA
Our hundred years of consistently satisfactory experience with
Chili in Nitrate of Soda have demonstrated that there i- nothing to
compare with it for side-dressing corn, cotton and other summer crops.
It i- a rare, natural i omhination of nitrate nitrogen, sodium and minor
elements. V here tin* -oil i- too arid: where potash is deficient or where
the supplv of available phosphate is low: where the crop needs qui< k
help: or where one or more of the minor elements i- lacking. Natural
Chilean Soda lias no equal among nitrogen fertilizers.
I In- side-dressing effectiveness of any nitrogen fertilizer
verv largely on it- content of nitrate nitrogen. The nitrogen content of
< hjle.iti s.,d.i is loo per. cut nitrate nitrogen and thi-. together with its
rich sodium content and minor elements, account- for it- remarkable
efficiency and consistently superior performance in the field.
Sodium adds a great deal of extra value to the prodm i. It-de-trov
soil acidity, substitutes for potash and calcium when necr-sary. in
crea.-c- the supply of available phosphate, and helps the plant gain
the utrno-t benefit from the nitrogen. In addition. Chilean Soda con
tains -mall amounts of needed minor elements which help to prote< t
again-t hidden plant-food deficiencies.
If vou have anv question about your nitrogen
side-dressing for corn, "e urge vou to u.-e Chilean
Nitrate, if onlv in a small way to begin with, so
that vou can see the difference for yourself Vi e
are confident vou II find it the most economical
and satisfactory nitrate nitrogen fertilizer you

Yesterday, these four were their Mothers’
despair. Their faces were grimy, their play
clothes spattered with mud They were even
ready to put up their fists find fight when the
rivalry between spacemen abd cowboys became
a little too keen.
Today, they are immaculate. They sing like
young angels. They even loo t like angels . . . be
cause today is Easter! And these boys are pro
claiming the glorious message that Christ Is
Risen.
Easter is the time of promise, beauty, awe at
the miracle of birth and rebirth. Easter is the
time to let the joy cf living seep into you. It
is the time to tell yourself tfiat you believe . . .
and, if there's been any doubt about it, to start
believing again.
Spend part of your Eastet in Church. Spend
the rest of it looking, with new eyes, at the
wonderland God has created around you.
