Let’s Finish The Job
4 N effort is being made this week to raise
* $15,000 to complete the Southside Com
Minity Hospital. When completed 100 beds
ami 20 bassinets will be available for pa
tients. The present demand for hospital
can can be met adequately then.
The cost of completing the hospital is
199,500, which will complete the second
floor, now ‘‘hulled in”, to provide an ob
tetrical department of 18 beds and 18
bassinets. Also, 11 beds will be provided
for medical patients in the area now oc
cupied by the Negro section, which will be
moved to the east wing of the hospital.
The area now occupied by the obstetrical
department will be used for medical treat
ment. Tims, the plan as conceived hv the
architects in 1949 will have been com
pleted. and the hospital will be an efficient
operating unit.
It will he recalled that the expansion
program was begun in 1949. An estimated
l !,st was made and a campaign to raise the
necessary $255,000, our share, was sub
scribed. The bids were opened in August of
1950. In the intervening period, the Korean
“Incident” had occurred and prices of
everything increased, with the result that
the second floor had to be eliminated and
a second campaign for $54,600 was neces
ary to build the Mettauer Wing with the
-I'cond floor eliminated. As construction
proceeded and the hospital wing took
-haw in 1951 it became apparent to every
1 nr that the walls and roof should be built
r »ho second floor. A "Raise The Roof”
campaign for $.‘>5,000 was successfully
completed and the roof was raised.
Since 1951, hospital demand has increas
eel to such an extent that the second floor
must be completed. For this purpose the
present solicitation for $45,000, our share,
is in progress.
Fortunately, our community can obtain
$199,500 in construction at the cost of $45,
000. The Ford Foundation allotted $44,600
to the hospital last year. Federal and State
aid through the Hill-Burton program
amounts to $104,500. The Lions Club in
1952 began a fund to complete the building
by contributing $500, and other gifts and
donations available amount to $5,000. Thus
$45,000 is needed from our community to
complete this project. For every $1.00
given locally on this drive, more than $4.00
has been obtained from other sources, $4
for $1.
The Board of Managers and those con
nected closely with the hospital believe
there will be no further need for enlarge
ment of these facilities in the foreseeable
future. The hospital plant will have been
completed.
The dedicated people who have contrib
uted $346,000 to this institution since 1950
will supply the needed fund of $45,000 for
its completion, we feel sure. The sum is not
impossible, if everyone will contribute a
share in this undertaking. It is hoped that
the campaign which began last Thursday
will be completed quicklv and construction
can begin at an early date.
Dear reader, will you do your part in
this undertaking? Your contribution, large
or small according to your desire and abil
ity. will be gratefully received, and will
help in reaching this goal.
Let's finish the job!
New Worthwhile Institution
I ONCW OOl) College launched its lnsti
I
tute of .Southern Culture Friday with a
minimum number of references to magno
lia trees and a maximum effort to appraise
honestly some traditional aspects of South
ern civilization:
C the first three speakers in Friday’s
opening series of lectures may be taken as
typical of those to follow, the Institute
flowed that it will serve not only as a pen
>■1 rating, factual approach to a great tra
dition. but unafraid to look with scholarly
honesty.
In Dr. Francis B. Simkins, Dr. Louis D.
Bubin and Dr. Carder B. Taplin, the col
• pro .anted three lecturers who disdain
! chauvinism for factual reporting, who
' tilted perceptive scholarship for mere
■ ■ rsement of ante-bellum glories.
Dr. Simkins, professor of history at
Longwood College, spoke on Virginia folk
ways. their merits and defects and their
'"■rCstent effect on modern education. In
hf process he looked earnestly at our pre
■-> fit system of schooling,
!>> tile afternoon, Dr. Rubin, associate
!"v of the Richmond News Leader, dis
■ wsed the Civil War in Southern Fiction,
w.'h illuminating remarks on the artistic
u hiovoments and failures of that period
o; regional writing.
I he evening's concluding lecture pre
Dr. I aplin. associate professor of
1 ngif di at Longwood, in a critical ap
i rur al of essays on writers and literature
appearing in the “Southern Literary Mes
senger," which flourished with great repu
tation and far-reaching influence in the
years before the Civil War.
The spring and summer lectures are to
be only part of the Institute. It helps pro
vide undergraduate and graduate studies
as academic course work in the field of
southern civilization, and it will serve as
a symposium for the publication of re
search in the field of Southern culture.
I he comfortable, handsomely-appointed
lounge in the student building served as
a delightful locale for the Institute lec
tures, all the more noteworthy because of
the absence of townspeople who missed a
rare experience in seeing what is truly “in
side” their college.
There was some competitive noise pro
vided by disinterested students whom some
someone forgot to brief on the activitity
that was going on below or inside.
There was also mild differences of opin
ion with the speakers. Those who differed,
however, did so with an acknowledgement
that they none-the-less had been helped,

A college activity that provides these de

support, by the alumnae association which

townspeople—Virginians, whose love of

Babson Discusses Science Fairs

Babson Park. Fla., April 18 Let

Ncwspnpor Publisher's Experiment
One day about a year ago. Mr,
J. C. Council, publisher of the
I ampa Tribune, decided to make a
practical test of the Hillsborough
County Hni; Schools. He explained
to tin teachers of these and other
high schools what he was endeavor
to accomplish and how it should
i done He selected three dates.
’"<■ last of March, and engaged one
. the large Fair buildings having
exhibit booths Each high school •
class was asked to make an exhibit
. soil'.' existing or future scien
tific problem. They could make a
television set. or an electric burner,
; oi an electric eye. or something
else already existing. Or. these stu
dents could imagine and illustrate
i some new invention that may come
in the future. Each class was as
signed a booth with tables and elec
I trical connections.
The day I was there, teachers
were present and the students came
in fifty school busses. A few could
not help pinching and exploding
some balloons for weather forecast
ing Otherwise, these several thou-i
sand students behaved excellently.
With my further apology to the girls
1 found the grand prize was tjiken j
by a girl. Barbara Buerke. How
ever. she was not trained to be a
"secretary" but a commercial ar-,
list Frankly, I was emotionally'
moved to see the great interest and
intelligence that most of these stu
dens showed I came home bullish
on our youth if they are allowed to
work on subjects in which they, are!
interested under the "Core" teach-J
ina as advocated by Dr. Arthur'
Combs of the University of Florida.
Of course, there were great dif
ferences among these boys and
girls. Most of them followed the
crowd and stopped only at booths
surrounded by many people. Others
were satisfied to collect free circu
lars and pictures. These were the
boys who should be content to al
ways do manual work and the girls
who should aim to be good wives
and mothers. Many of these youths,
however, had brought notebooks and
made drawings of certain exhibits—
they were very serious. For some
strange reason, the majority of
them had red hair or were blond!
Bach year the three colleges
which my family sponsors, Babson
Institute for Men, Webber College
for Women, and the Mid-West Insti
tute. are visited by personnel direc
tors of large corporations seeking
the best graduates They look first
for graduates of good character
who have done well in their extra
curricular work and have perhaps
become officers of their classes.
They want graduates with initiative
i
rather than those content with mak
ing good marks. After my day with
these Tampa youths I am sure that
these personnel "scouts" should
start by discovering such students
when they are in high school, rather
than wait until they are about to
graduate from college.
What High Schools Need
Truly this group of Tampa young
people with whom I associated are
a "gold mine." I could pick out
the leaders of Tampa's future with
out looking at their examination
papers or marks. I found, however,
that some of the boys whom I would
select were not popular with their
teachers. Perhaps some of the stu
dents felt that their teachers are
not too able and are interested only
in their salary and not in their stu
dents. It is a common thing to know
people who have a "green thumb"
with flowers or a way with animals:
they can get first prizes in flower
shows and can easily train animals.
This is not because they are better
educated in horticulture or biology,
but becouse they love flowers and
love animals. The same principle
[may apply to teachers:
I wish that publishers in each of
! the 400 cities carrying my weekly
; column could follow the example of
Mr. J. C. Council of the Tampa
j Tribune. I realize that a few other
i cities are already holding similar
"fairs.” but It would be a wonder
ful thing if such ‘‘fairs” could take
j place once a year, or at least once
jin four years, in each of these 400
j cities, The program would fill a
j great need in most communities. It
would be greatly appreciated by
i teachers and graduates It would
| help to hold these high school grad
| uates within their own state for a
icollege education, rather than lose
! them to some other community.
ONE MORE THOUGHT: I believe
more attention should be given to
higher post-g r a d u a t e work—two
years following college. In order to
secure appropriations, presidents of
state universities appear to feel that
they must have as large an enroll
ment as possible. Naturally, the
average native intelligence de
creases as the number of student
increases. This tends to reduce thp
standards for graduation. As a re
| suit, these more efficient students
; too often do not return to the cities
which educated them They take
l post-graduate work in some other
state and then remain there. I am
not ruling out a higher education
for those fitted only for trades or
manual work. I. however, am argu
ing that the future of every city
depends on holding the most effici
ent and ablest students. Cities brag
: too much about their population
’ totals when their future really de
i pends on the character, initiative
and efficiency of their high school
graduates. Let us hold these young
people at home in the cities which
raised them.

Letters To Editor
Memorial Day
Began in South
Editor, The Herald:
,
‘Fourscore and Eleven Years
Ago'—The Civil War was over in •
the South where tinder warmer skies
and with more poetic temperaments,
symbols and emblems are better j
understood than in the practical
North, April 26. 1866. the widows,
mothers, and children of the Con
federate dead went out and strewed
their graves with flowers: at many;
places the women scattered -them
impartially also over the jesting j
places of the Union soldiers.
April 26 was chosen as the anni-1
versary of the last day of existence ;
of the Confederate States, that be
ing the date in 1865 when Gen. Jos
eph E. Johnston surrendered at
Durham, N C.
The movement spread rapidly
over the South. Several years later
Gen. John A. Logan, Commander
m-Chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, designated May 30 as
Decoration Day to be observed by
' the people of the North. He did so
after his wife suggested the custom
following a celebration'of Southern
Memorial Day which she had wit
nessed on April 26. 1868. at Holly
wood Cemetery in Richmond. Vir
ginia.
May 30 continued to be known as
Decoration Day until after 1045,
when the people of the northern
states dropped that title and began
using the Southern term. Memorial
Day.
May .10 is observed as a legal
holiday in all the states and terri
tories except Alabama, Georgia.
Louisiana. Mississippi. North Caro
lina and South Carolina. Thus out
of sorrows common alike to North
and South came this beautiful cus
tom regardless of the day kept.
If the men who gave their lives
could see how the anniversary is
desecrated by week end sporting
events and Idling each other on the
streets and highways by careless
driving instead of ceremonies in
their honor, they would feel perhaps
they had been forgotten.
Cordially yours,

Prohibit Alcoholic
Advertising Says
Farmville Reader
Editor of Parmville Herald:
I wish to express my apprecia
tion of your policy in carrying no
alcoholic beverage advertising in
our local paper. The Parmville
Herald. We enjoy reading a paper
where there are no such ads staring,
us in the face, as is the case with i
the Richmond papers, and many
others. However, we are glad to
note that there are at least 12 per
cent of the dailies in the United
States that refuse to accept alco
holic beverage advertising in any
form.
You may recall receiving a ques
tionnaire in 1955 from the Virginia
Methodist Advocate on this subject.
I presume you have heard that your
paper is one of only 25 weekly
newspapers out of a total of 104 pub
lished in Virginia that refuses all
liquor ads. We are so glad that The
Farmville Herald is one of the 25— j
but there should be more. Of 32 j
dailies in Virginia, only six refuse
all liquor ads.
"It’s a fact that two-thirds of to- j
day's alcoholics began drinking:
I while of high school age." This is
the information given on a poster
; prepared by the Methodist Board of
Temperance.
I feel that all Christian people
should work toward the elimination
! of all liquor advertising because of
; the injurious effects of beverage al
! cohol on health and character. The
! press, radio and television are pow
erful influences in molding public
! opinion, particularly that of youth,
towards the use of beverage alcohol.
Have you heard of the bills in
Congress to prohibit transportation
of alcoholic beverage advertising in
interstate commerce and over the
air? These are S. 582 introduced
: by Senator William Danger of North
Dakota and H R. 4833 introduced
by Congressman Eugene Siler, of
Kentucky ,
The chairman of the Senate Inter
state and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee is Sen. Warren G. Magnuson
i f Washington. His address is Sen
ate Office Building, Washington,
D C The chairman of the House
Interstate and Foreign Commerce
i Committee is Hon. Oren Harris of
'Arkansas. His address is House
Office Building, Washington. D. C.
We are asked to write these chair- j
men and urge them to grant an
early hearing on these bills this
year, so that the House and Senate
may have an opportunity to vote on
them.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Florence T. Hallock

My Vision Of
Sudden Death
Editor of Herald:
On evening during my sum
mer's vacation I sat watching the
traffic go by. Many cars were
passing and the scene was beau
tiful. It was very amusing but yet
sad to watch some who were
drivers of these fine cars.
Some drove carelessly and some
carefully. After many cars had
•passed and the sun was slippnv.
slowly away I still sat looking on.
Now what do I see?
A beautiful green car with a
driver who is heavily intoxicated.
He has lost control of his car en
tirely and the car is now going
very fast.
The car skids arid slips down a
| steep h i 11, overturning many
i times.
The driver is asleep, and sleep
on he will. Yes, he will sleep on
| forever now without waking. "For
j he lias secured and gained his re
ward. but lost his life.”

HOW TO BURN A HOLE
11
IN YOUR OWN POCKET
There ere «»lll tome people who Say: “Why worry
about forest fires? There’s plenty1 of timber in
this country. Besides, trees grow back pretty
fast after a forest fire,"
Don’t you believe this. It takes 20 years to re
place a pine forest, much longer for Douglas fir
and hardwood forests.
Wood is vital to your own life ... the floor you
stand on, your chair, the packages that contain
most of your food, your newspaper; perhaps,
even, the clothes you wear. All—and more—may
be derived from wood.
As supply decreases, the cost of wood products
increases, and you pay the higher costs. What
ever the loss in forest fires, you pay the bill. <
That’s why you may be burning a hole in your
own pocket when you toss a burning match or
cigarette from your car.
iSmMOet -only you con PREVENT FOREST FIRES! i
Like other American business firms, we believe that business has a responsibility to contribute to the public welfare. This

For such one must look to non
fiction diaries, letters and memories. ■
Such work is found in letters com
prising the volume entitled "Ham
Chamberlayne, Virginian," or those

published as "The Mason Smith
Family Letters." Such real life
narrative as these dwarf the fic
tional accounts of the embattled !
South, Dr. Rubin said.
Dr. Simkins, in his lecture at the
morning session of the Institute,
speaking on "The Education That.
Doesn't Educate: the Persistence of
Virginia “Folkways", said "It is an
error to assume that Virgininas are
not benefited and are not receptive
to formal Schooling.” However,
knowledge which is against Virginia
folkways and customs does not
penetrate Virginians, for they will
not become identical to outsiders or
their ways.
Virginians should be grateful for
the fact that while accepting the
technical knowledge that comes
through schooling, they have not al
lowed their schooling to make them
into the rootless and unoriginal crea
tures like those who inhabit the cul
tural wastes", stated Dr. Simkins
Dr. Taplin, in his evening lecture
on "Critical Essays on English
Writers in the Southern Literary !
Messenger”, stated that it was the ‘
aim of the literary critics, "to help
preserve the innocence of their
readers in Virginia, to warn them

pean works also maintain their own
critical independence, often express
ing views which were far different
from those which prevailed in the
other journals
Finally the editors and critics of
t.he “Southern Literary Messenger”
made a conscientious attempt to ac
quaint their readers with what they
considered to be most significant
contemporary English literature. D
Taplin said.
The three lectures constituted the
program for the spring series of the
newly established Institute of South

in the country. The purpose of the
Institute is to promote the study of
traditional aspects of Southern civi
