WINCHESTER, Va, May S.
The operator of a curb market
who wanted children to remember
him willed his 100000 estate so
that each child at the John Kerr
Elementary School will receive
money every Christmas and
Easter.
Charles B. Henry, 80. who died
April %, directed that his entire
estate be established as a trust
fund. His will has been probated
in corporation court here. The in
come from the trust fund is to be
equally divided at Easter and
Christmas among the students at
the school where the enrolment
now is about 400.
Based on an estimated $4,000
annual income from the estate.
trustees estimated that after de-
duction of necessary expenses,
each child would receive 81 or $S
on each of the two holidays. The
school teaches only the first three
grades.
On learning Of Mr.. Henry's be-
quest, friends recalled that he
loved small children and some
said he had planned for many
years to make such will although
it was executed only a few days
before his death.
Wanted to Be Remembered.
Mrs. Fred Sturm, who dealt at
Henry's Market, said he told her
several years ago he planned to
leave every child at the school an
annual birthday present, and
quoted him as saying he did not
care IF they spend it all for
bubble gum"
They'll all remember old man
Henry" Mrs. Sturm said the
grocer told her.
Some friends said they sug-
gested to Mr.. Henry that he leave
his estate for a playground. but
said he told them contractors,
playground suppliers and others
would get a share and he wanted
all his money to go to the children.
Children returning from school
often would walk several blocks
out of their. way to pass MIR.
Henry's produce stand-mindful
that he often gave them nickels.
Mr.. Henry's own child, daugh-
ter, died many years ago. His
wife, Mrs. Fannie Belle Henry,
died in 1882. The only near rela-
tives known to be living are three
cousins, Mrs. Lou King Of Front
Royal, Va, now over 70; Mrs. Lucy
Goss of Winchester. who Is over
80, and Mrs. Hattie Taylor, 70,
also of Winchester.
The Shenandoah Valley National
Bank was named executor and
trustee of the fund.

not altogether a surprise. 1t was
freely predicted, when we began
appropriating large sums for Mar
shall Plan aid, that If we sue
ceeded in reviving Britain's trade
to the point where she could
live by it, she would again be-
come a serious competitor of the
United States in world markets.
In other words, we were creating
a monster which would turn on
us later.
The answer given at that time
was that competition was the life
blood of healthy trade. whether
it be domestic or foreign. and that
even though Britain did cut into
some of our markets abroad, 1t
would be better to have her sup
porting herself than feeding con-
stantly at the American dollar
trough.
Argentine Pact Cited.
There is little disavowal of this
basic view to be heard now among
the experts, but there is remorse
over the course British trade re-
vival has taken, resulting as it
has in British measures which
discriminate against the United
States-even if the discrimination
has some valid reason-and pub

fact of discrimination than 1t

In perspective it is difficult to
see why it was necessary for the
British to preempt the Argentine
market completely for themselves

It would have been good politics
to leave some loophole for Amer

Of the two recent actions there
appears to be more sound justi-
flcation for the latter than for
the former, although it is not en-
tirely clear that the British were
unable to ease their dollar and
gold crisis by returning to multi
lateral trade and full currency
convertibility with a revalued
pound which would permit British
goods to compete on a par with
the rest of the worlds goods.
Such action, no doubt, woulo
have involved domestic effects
which are not entirely desirable

then savings would have to be

all COdAlUlCo
In Ohio and in the meantime he
is writing a newspaper column
available for free to all the Ohio
editors who care to print 1t. There
are, 1t appears, a great many who
do.
Labor insists that Gov. Lausche
on the ticket running for re-elec-
ton will mean almost as much as
if he were directly opposing their
No. 1 1850 target. They are
interested in reports that an Ohio
farmer spokesman wants the
Democratic senatorial nomina-
ton; it is precisely the kind OF
Mlddle-West alliance they are
looking for in several States.
Democrats Are Silent.
Democrats here have no COM
ment. They don't want to be
mixed up in State primary fights
and above all they have no de-
sire to increase Senator Taft's
already considerable stature by
making a point of their opposi-
ton. Most of them believe that
Senator Taft has already ac-
uuired the status of a political
legend, a character bigger than
any policies he espouses. Such
men often last long time politi-
cally, regardless of shifts in the
country's thinking.
Democrats commenting along
such lines merely smile at the
Senator's presidential ambitions
even while they admit he will
make a strong try for that nomi-
nation If reelected Senator. They
are confident they can crush him
nationally; they think State pride
in a bold and independent char
acter makes him an extremely
