These thoughts are SOLDERING. They fill
one with anger and disgust for these Is fell
low citizens, who in a split second were cap
able of taking all Of the hopes, Joys and
expectations of living away from one of u.s.
Drivers, who in unthinking moments and
many times for personal, selfish reasons,
were ready to MAIN, kill, and destroy.
Judge Lewis gave these drivers fines and
Jail sentences He revoked II driving
licenses. They were fortunate. A fine or a
Jail sentence is small punishment to pay
for moments Of folly. Suppose one of them
had taken human life-that kind of pun
iShment must be more agonzng and tor
menting than any decision that human
court can give.
We support and back up Judge Lewis in
his punishment of drunk and reckless driv-
ers We know that he is protecting us and
those we love- and we know that he is pro-
tecting those people whom he sentences to
fines and Imprisonment. He is protecting
men and women who have had few drinks
too many or who are rushing to make an APP
pointment from breaking one of Gods great
est commandments" Thou shalt not kill
If our words, as inadequate as they are.
could encourage determination of our
selves as drivers, if they could foster the
monsterangel attitude in our drivers, we
might help save some driver from himself
A car is a monster when it kills and destroys
lives and property. A car is an angel when
it carries us to see our families or friends,
helps us explore our counties and states,
and aids in earning our ivings. But so much
has been written and said about safety in
cars.
1t takes one careless second 1t takes
one minimizing act. 1t takes one false move
Any driver is sitting in weapon loaded to
kill.

having achieved its goal of ending the reign
OF terror in the Islands For time, year
or two ago, the guerrilla threat in the
Philippines was serious and the Hulk often
occupied large areas for long periods Of time
destroying and killing loyal Filipinos and
taking off many head Of cattle
Since gaining their freedom the Philip
pines have generally succeeded in maintain
ing order and preventing the Communists
from becoming major threat to the securi-
ty OF the country. The latest series of Com
munlst incidents, including the Communist
attack in Quezon Province, indicates that
the war against the Communists in the
Philippines is not vet won and that Prcsi-
dent Qulrlnos must once again redouble his
efforts to suppress the Communist agita-
tors. The bright hopes of recent months.
that the Communists were finished per
manently in the Philippines, seems to have
been unjuStified

Letters to Editor

In Old Emmanuel

Letter To The Editor.
Not only do my dear feathered
friends entertain me at home, but
on Sunday as l sat in the same
pew, l have occupied since child
hood in old Emmanuel p. E.
church, and listened attentively to
an impressive sacred message de-
livered by our beloved Rector. I
noticed that the birds were sing
ing not far from the window.
They sang softly and l remem-
bered a Mothers day years back
when l heard such sweet music in
the church yard, made perhaps by
the same mocking birds.
The dear, old church is filled
with sacred memories, and it is
most appropriate that the birds
should take part in the service.
May it be the will Of God. the
Giver of all good gifts. that there
shall be peace in the world before
another Mothers day

But in more recent years many
Of the breeders in the bench-ShoW

pointers for beauty only without
regard to field performance. AS
result the dogs that win on the

The German short haired point

Outstanding examples Of dual

Loaded To Kill

'HIS weapon is loaded to kill might be
good sign to have in front of automo-
bile drivers at all times And monster
anger attitude concerning automobiles might
make it possible for many of us to live
longer and more fully in years to come
SO much has been written about safety
and consideration in automobiles, about the
death-dealing weapons that they can become
and about human wrecks that cars can make
that there is a danger we have become i'm
mune to automobile safety talk and articles
However, the danger is still with us, as
potent and great as it ever was
1t is true that today there are more, bet
ter, faster and safer automobiles on our
highways than. ever before in our history
1t is true that more people are driving places
than ever before and that many, many of
our citizens are driving more carefully and
considerably than they ever have. But, we
can still imagine the shock of many of our
readers when they read the story in Tues
days edition Of The Farmvile Herald about
the driving cases that appeared before Trial
Justice Court Judge J. F. Lewis. last month
Judge Lewis tried Is lnk-driving cases
and three cases of drivers exceeding the
speed limit from 25 to 35 miles per hour 1t
is almost incredible to believe that these Is
cases were picked up in Prince Edward
county, just one county in the Old Dominion.
We wonder how many of our readers
realized when they read the story that each
one of these Is cases represented a weapon
loaded to kill you, your family, or those
friends you love. We wonder how many of
you recalled the number of times you were
riding in a car last month, and thought
that there We're Is drivers, thoughtless and
inconsiderate who could have snuffed out
your life.

The End of the World

After all, what does the end Of
the world mean, practically? 1t
means that you and the world part
company: it vanishes before your
eyes. Whatever world you exist in
from that moment on. it will not be
this one. Now it makes small diff
ference whether the world folds
up and leaves you, or whether you
fold up and leave the world. One
thing is sure: whichever way it
is, you and this world, this world
of day and night. OF sin and suf-
fering and saintliness, this world
of animals. vegetables and min
erals-you and this world are 60
ing to part company, and you are
going to live long enough to see
that day. The big question is not
the nearness or the fairness Of that
day. The question is: What are
you going to put into the time be-
tween now and then? II you
will look around you. you will see
many evidences that those who
went before you made wise plans
and did good deeds not only for
their own time but for yours as
well.

the possession of L. S. citizens are at record
levels, and that there is no reason to fear
a recession as long as employment, high
wages and savings remain relatively high.
No sudden drop in any of these categories is
expected to be caused by reduced spend
ing for ornaments, since such spending will
be tapered off gradually and an effort made
to fill this gap with increased civilian pro-
duction.
1t is important for Americans not to as
sumo that a recession is inevitable. and Mr..

that we are not going to have depression

Hulk Trouble In Philippines

THE first major attacks of any conse-
quence by Communist Hulk guerrillas in
the Philippine Islands were reported recent
ly. The Communicated Huks wiped out
small Army detachment and occupied a
small town in Quezon Province
The news is interesting in view of the
fact that the activity follows the resignation
of Defense Secretary Ramon Magsaysay.
Magsaysay and President Ell Pidio Qurinos
have been in bitter dispute in recent months
and the dispute finally eliminated in the
Defense Secretary's resignation.
Philippine newspapers have speculated
that the dissenson in the Government and
the resignation of the Defense Secretary
were stimulates which have touched off
Hulk activity again in the Philippines

rilas has been conducted in the Philippine

Our Mocking Bird

OF all the birds that sing for US,
No other can compare
With saucy Flster Mocking Bird
When he goes on the air.
This slim gray bird is small in size
And sports no fancy plume,
But he is an opera singer
Without gay costume.
He's a sober-Suited sOngSter
With large repertOire
And he can at singing mimic
His rivals by the score.
This bird can mimic anything
With his sweet trills of JOY.
From sounds made by squeaking wheel
TO whistling of boy.
Though some may claim the hermit thrush
Can sing finer note,
! more prefer the mockng birds
Sweet music from his throat.
When hooking birds treat us with trlls,
To brighten up the score
They repeat each phrase of music
For us. six times or more
This feathered songster sings for US
When skies are gray or bright
And oft beneath a summer moon
His music fills the night.
When floods Of delrious music
From his small throat comes clear.
The woods and air in silence wait,
His symphony to hear
This lovely singing feathered friend
To Dixie Land is dear;
In all of his cascade of songs
There is no note of fear.
| love this sweet voiced singing bird,
This air-borne fluff of gray,
And hope that in Virginia
He will forever stay

them to thinking the end OF all

talked about was, When will it

that money saved on rearmament might
