These heifers were a part Of
the Dairy Heifer Chain sponsor
ed by the Kiwanis Club Of Roa-
noke Rapids. The sponsors h;s1e
made available prize money as
follows: blue ribbons--$10.00 to
Wilbur Garner and $1,000 to
James Hale; red ribbons-$7.00
to Bobby Medlin; white ribbon
$500 to Robert Ed Gardner and
$500 to Lawrence Best.
1t was evident that consider
able time had been given to fit
ting, grooming and training these
animals to show, DeLoatche
said. This show was the first
dairy heifer show in which any
Of these boys had ever competed.
1t marks the first time in many
years that Halifax County has
participated in purebred show.
1t seems there is definitely a
growing interest in developing
and breeding good dairy animals
in this county. The civic-minded
people are anxiously awaiting
the time that the interest Of our
rural people will justify estab-
fishing cattle show in Halifax
County.

Paris, Oct. -(R- Rus
STA changed signals Unexpectedly

The soviet Union still insisted

THANKS

Herald readers are getting
their football news from around
the nation and various other
events of interest this. morning
because of some overtime work
put in last night by Beaman
Helms OF the local Western
Union office.
When a mechanical breakdown
caused a failure in one of the
Associated Press news teletypes
at the Herald office, the press
service re-routed from Charlotte
through Richmond and into the
local Western office, where Helms
gladly agreed to remain past his
usual 7:30 p. m. closing hour in
order to handle the news SER
vice copy for the Sunday Herald.
The fact that this morning S
Herald carries complete football
scores and a lot of other in
formation is due in no small
part to Helms overtime work
in keeping the public informed.
We thank him!

BY BILL DAvEY

A few Sunday mornings ago
a resident of Roanoke Rapids
got up at the usual time, watch
ed his wife scrub some vege-
tables she was going to prepare
for dinner while she watched her
young son skate by the window
on the sidewalk about 20 feet
away, ate his breakfast and left
the house.
He very carefully drove down
town at 20 miles per hour, went
into his office to catch up on
some loose. ends of work, walk
ed next door to the cafe for a
quick soda pop and told the man
behind the counter that he was
looking forward to going to the
baseball game that afternoon.
Apparently there was nothing
unusual about this citizens be-
havior that Sunday morning, but
by the time he had driven home
again he or members of his fam.
lily had laid themselves liable
to fines of $40 by violating d.
rectly or indirectly six ordin-
ances of the City of Roanoke
Rapids.
Does that sound incredible?
Well, in a way it is, however
the book containing the ordin-
ances of the city clearly shows
that the violations were made.
There is a possibility, OF
course, that lot of the laws
are just a little outmoded or not
enforced, but they are laws just
the same. According to the ordi-
nance book, adopted June 49,
1921, the following laws were
violated in the foregoing Sc
quence of the solid citizen on a
calm Sunday morning:
The mans wife was scrubbine

Soviet Berlin Boss
Saws U.N. Can Not
Solve Berlin Crisis

Berlin, Oct. 2-(P)-The Rus
sian commander in Germany told
the world tonight to expect no
solution of the Berlin crisis from
the United Nations. He said
agreement could be reached only
by direct negotiation with the
Soviet.
Debate on the blockade starts
Monday in Paris. The U. S., Bri-
tain and France referred the ex-
plosive issue to the U. N. Sec
urity Council, accusing Russia of
endangering peace and security.
Marshal VASTLY Sokolovsky
said in a long statement the
main price of any agreement is
a dissolution of the Western Ger
man State which the Western
Powers are forming. Western
officials have said many times
they will not abandon their
plan.
Sokolovsky gave a strong indi-
cation the Western Powers re-
fusal to give up the West Ger
man state was the real reason
for the collapse of Big Four
talks after an apparent agree
ment had been reached.
Trying to get solution of
this question in other ways is
only aiming at continuing the alb
normal situation" he said, and
it will not lead to the results
the western occupation powers
hope for"
Coming just as the U. N. dis
cussion on Berlin is about to be-
gin, Sokolovsky's statement was
taken here as warning that the
Soviet Union would not agree nor
abide by any U. N. action.
The Soviet commander, in a
long statement on Soviet aims in
Germany, gave the first inkling
of why the agreements reached
by the Big Four in Moscow with
Premier Stain were sabotaged
in subsequent Berlin talks. Ne
gotiations were broken off early
this week after the Russians de-
manded control of the Allied air
lift to Berlin.
Sokolovsky also gave what is
probably a preview of the Rus
sian line before the United Ma
tons in the Berlin dispute.
He stressed that the rail, road
and barge routes to Berlin were
blocked in June because of what
he called "the partitioning of
Germany as conducted by the
x. 'arn Powers"
&c statement suggested
& s.rongly that the Soviet Union
decided at some stage during
the Moscow talks that an agree
ment on Berlin would come only
if the U. S., Britain and France
abandoned their plans in west
ern Germany.
Sokolovsky asserted the Four
Power air agreement for traffic
to and from Berlin gave the
Western Powers the right "only
to serve the requirements Of &C.
cupation troops of the western
powers in Berlin"
