ship. To encourage members in this dec
ton, the FLA program requires an ever
increasing ability to speak in public and
to understand the rules Of parliamentary
procedure. A good citizen must be able to
speak on his feet and know how to conduct
meeting and understand his rights in
public session. Thus the FLA program pro-
vides farm youth with the inward assur-
ancc which is 50 surely the equipment Of
men Of public abilities ana accom- plishment.
These two together, efficiency and as
surance, don't exhaust the program by any
means. Remaining is that portion Of the
program which seeks to convert efficiency
and assurance into a living code Of ethics.
Here is nurtured their love and belief in the
place Of the farm and agriculture in Amcri-
cas- economic life. Here the FLA teaches
sclf-rclance; the right to the good things
Of life that labor, diligence and thought
can PROVIDE respect for the great Ameri-
can farm tradition; rights of rural people
to voice in local, state and national af
fairs.
The FLA creed teaches these youth to
say: Il believe in less dependence on beg
ging and more power in bargaining; in the
life abundant and enough honest wealth
to help make it So-for others as we'll as
myself; in less need for charity and more
of it when needed; in being happy myself
and playing square with those whose hap
piness depends upon me-
Efficiency, assurance, ideals. There is
always room for these, and an honored
place for organizations and institutions
which nuture them.

Any one who can remember sec
ing the great political conventions

recall how time after time the roll
call would be slowed down by
some one demanding poll OF the
delegation. ShreWd observers re-
marked that IN numbers Of cases
there was no real doubt about the
accuracy OF the vote; there was no
good reason except that for a few
brief moments the man who asked
for the recount would have the
cameras trained on him. This play

Hail and Best Wishes

Through many years, fraught with trials
and tribulations, the company met and
overcame every emergency. A fire III 1880
almost spelled "fnis" to the enterprise, but
interested citizens came to the rescue and
the Farmville Manufacturing Company
emerged bigger and better than ever.
The success Of the company was en-
twined with the lift and character of its
founder, George NJ. Robson, until his death
in 1914 He buldcd we'll and gave to the
business, social and religious life of this
community philosophy Of integrity, indi-
vidua dignity and simple honesty, which
permeated its very foundations.
Fortunately, the business. founded by
Mr.. Robson, fell into the hands Of two
other Farmvile men, Maurice r. Large and
Lester E. Andrews, who have assured its
continued development and its rightful
place Of leadership for the future.
So it is that The Farmville Herald, its
younger contemporary by twelve years.
takes pleasure in saluting The Farmville
Manufacturing Company on its diamond
anniversary, and on behalf Of the COM
munity, wishes this enterprise Godspeed
and many more years Of successful service
in this community.

An Editorial
Don't Take Chances
With Safety
BY DAN PERCY, Secretary, FLA
Buckingham Central High

For the last two years our
FLA chapter has taken second
place in the Farm Safety pro-
gram. This year We are going TO
try hard to make PEOPLE take
notice and be more careful than
ever before.
Farming is one Of the most
dangerous of occupations. yet
farmers don't seem 70 pay any
attention to safety equipment on
machinery or in then farm shops.
Moreover the average farmer
doesn't pay any attention to
safety devices. II some one re-
minds him. he will probably tell
them that he has done it the
dangerous wcv 81 CT his life and
never has had an accident.
Well. YOU can tell MN it won't
hurt him TO be on the safe side
because there is alV avs first
time for everything:
When you arc working with
machinery and power tools-be
careful; observe the safety signs.
The manufacturers wouldn't
have put them thele if they
thought they weren't necessary,
SO be careful. don t take
chance. it may save you a serious

be met and these OUTLAWS will naturally in
volve some sacrifice. Already, in twenty-one
states, increased appropriations have been
suggested. In other states, increased APP
preparations are urgently needed though
nowhere in sight.
In some Of the tWenty-onc states where
increases are indicated, the increases are
not sufficient to guarantee decent educa-
tiona standard. The public-spirited citizens
Of every community, in every state, must
rally to the urgent needs Of 1853 in the pub
lie school system. The alternative is a low
ering of teacher morale and thus less eff
cient teachers, sub-standard facilities, and
poorer citizens.

Hypocrites
Lesson for March |. 1858

"LYPOCRITE" is bad word.
- You should be careful about
calling people hypocrites, because
perhaps you do not quite mean it.
A hypocrite is not the same thing
as a weak Christian. or STUN
bling Christian. or a half-developed
Christian, so per cent Christian.
These are pretty common; the
regular simon-pure hypocrlte is
rarer bird. A hypocrite is person
who is knowingly and Intentionally
bad. and has no intention or being
anything else, but he puts on
mask or disguise Of goodness. II
is only a front, he does not mean
q bit Of it He is just devil play
ing angel. Such persons may be
somewhat rare. but they do exist.
They arc to be found in the church.
they are high up in the state, No
walk Of life is altogether free from
them.

THE Farmville Manufacturing Company
celebrates this year its seventy fifth an
niversary. making it one of the oldest bust
nesses in the community to operate continu-
ously under the same name. 1t probably
has had the longest tenure under the same
management of any business in the COM
munity.
In 1878, G.. NJ. Robson, a youth filled
with energy and determination, as we'll as
mechanical ability. stepped from the ba
teaux of old Sam Arts at the Rutledge
Bridge dock and superintendent the unload
ing of wood working machinery. The small
mill had been transported from Stony Point
in Amelia County up the Appomattox river
to the head of navigation at Farmville, to
be set up in the fast growing town and es-
tablish an industry which has played an
important part in the business life Of the
community.
The new company bought virgin oak
from the farmers. The young machinst de-
signed and built a machine which would
fabricate and bend pillow handles to exact
specifications and thus the largest plow
handle factory in the world was begun. Its
prominence in the manufacture of pillow
handles was maintained until recent years
when mechanical farming came into being
