Appliances at Belfast home save time and money in
ways you'd never expect They keep farm running.

An electric range give you an
hours more sleep a night? A
food freezer cut poultry feed
bills? Yes, these are among the
benefits attributed by Mrs. R. c.
Payne, Russell County, to her
electric helpers.
Since she's had an electric
range, she says, II find / can
sleep about an hour later in the
morning, then get up and cook
our breakfast in about one
fourth the time it took before.
An electric range is fast"
The freezer saves poultry feed
because the Paynes raise their
chickens just to the size they
want them, then freeze them in
wholesale lots. Right now about
240 chickens are ready for freez-
ing and by processing all at
once there'll be big savings in
work as well as grain.

Electricity is saving time and
work for the Paynes in many
ways ;. and it all started last
spring when saving time and la
Dor became particularly impor-
tant. Mr.. Payne was i'll. It looked
like he'd have to give up farm
ing. But Mrs. Payne decided she
could manage the home and farm
with electricity's low-cost help.
She put running water in the
home, bought an electric range,
water heater, home freezer, and
few kitchen appliances. It's all
working out fine. IF we had not
installed our conveniences," she
says, II feel quite sure we'd be
paying someone far more in
wages to get part of the work
DONE"
Yes, electricity is the most de-
pendable and versatile hired
hand a farmer can have. And it
works for pennies a day,

Vandals Destroy Posters
On Private Property,
Says Emmett Fleming

To The Voters of
Dickinson County:
Some. few weeks ago l placed
number of pictures of my
friends who are running for pub
lie office here in the county on
my coal house, and while was
away from home, two employees
of the State Highway Department
entered my property and tore
down all the pictures and took
them away in their pickup truck.
I Immediately went to town and
secured some more pictures and
placed them back where the 9TH
ers had been, and, don't you
know, the scoundrels came along
again while / was gone from home
and tore them down again! I am
again replacing the pictures and
they had better watch their step.
What's the matter with the
court house gang they can't stand
for citizen of this county to place
the pictures of his friends on his
own property. Something must be
done or else we will all be under
dictatorship right here in our
own county.

Did You Look At Picture
= Of Dead Deer On our
Front Page?

The picture of that deer killed
by dogs in the Hall Bottom neigh
borhood is enough to raise the
blood pressure of any person with
decent instincts.
The buck, say witnesses, was
chased for hours by a pack OF
"foxhounds." After the deer col
lapsed, the dogs gnawed the liv-
ing flesh from the launches be-
fore Garland Willis could drive
them away. These dogs belonged
to some alleged "sportsmen" of
Dickinson County.
\
Game Warden Otto Kendrick
states that ten deer have been
bounded to death in this county
since the first of July. 1t is very
doubtful if that could have hap
pened in any other county in Vir
ginia. That disgraceful distinction
is reserved for our own county.
If poll were taken, do you
doubt that majority of the peo-
pie would want to see herds of
deer growing and thriving among
these hills? But the sad fact APP
pears that that can never be.
There are too many "foxhounds"
to kill them.
This poses a question for the
''foXhunters";; ;. are they willing to
respect the wishes of their neigh
bors; are they willing to take
reasonable steps to control the
packs they breed?
With the damning record of
slaughtered deer, will good citi-
zens persist in keeping gangs of
murderous mongrels? viii any
good citizen, without regard to
any exalted office he may hold,
encourage by his presence a sport
that costs so much?
Some men who have hounds
keep them under control when
they are not hunting and bring
them in after a hunt. There is
graphic and tragic evidence that
others do not The various game
clubs in this county have d job
cut out for them. Can they take
some steps to curb the ravages of
vicious mongrels who are desroy
ing the deer? Something can sure
ly be done about it. Something
should be done at once.

So much for the drink problem. The other
chief difficulty is conversation. 1t does not
take long to learn that, while conversation
is an essential feature of the party, it is
volume and continuity that really matter.

An obviously kind but deter
mined young woman writes as
follows: 1.-TWO of my friends con-
stantly borrow things from me.
I wouldn't mind lending them If
only they would return the items
usually clothes-in as good con-
dition as they receive them. AL
ways a hook is off here or a seam
sprung there; to say nothing of
occasional spots. I'd like to make
it a rule not to lend any more, if
it's not too late, and how could
I go about it?"
You could explain when asked,
that you have had to make it a
rule not to lend anything more
because so many things of yours
have been spoiled, and if you lend
to one you have to lend to others.

enough luggage for a everyday
holiday in the tropics-although
the destination is, of course, un-
known to them. After a steak
dinner aboard, and a snooze on
the plane, they awaken to find
themselves in a South-of- the
