How About vcu7
II has been number of months
since the Holy Father relaxed the
rules on fasting before Holy Com
munion. At that time he declared
that water would not break the
Eucharistic fast. The main reason
he advanced was to make it easier
for more persons to receive Holy
Communion more frequently. How
about you? Have you been going
to Holy Communion more fre-
quently? You should have, you
know. II would be swell idea to
follow the example of the Early
Christians who received Holy Com
munion each day they went to
Mass. If the people in your COM
munity are worried about teen
ayers, show them that they don't
have to worry about you. The
priests of your parish are proud Of
you as you are, so why don't you
give them more of a chance to
spread their chests all ever the

They Who Pay and Wait
Give a thought to the unfortu-

phone to hash over all the dread
ful things that fsppeaed since you
parted with your special friend on

that there are some good bill-pay-
ing telephone users who would like
to get a crack at the line. Give
them chance. When you do hang

One Thousand Each Month
That sounds like good wages, but
who said anything about money?
One thousand persons will be kill
ed this month because of fire. That
is far different story, and it is
true. It is not nice to think of
such things, but this week is Fire
Prevention Week and we had bet
ter think of facts as startling as
that or we may miss the whole
point OF fear of fire. Please, think
Of others when you start growing
careless about fire. The life you
end may not be your own. Some
people who try to start fires in
stoves, furnaces and fireplaces ac-
tuaiiy start explosions. Others who
throw away matches that are still
burning start fires that no one can
put out. There isn't much we can
do with fires and floods, but We
can use caution so we don't start
floods of fires.

Americas Hope - Youth with
Faith"
Explaining the theme, the Youth
Department Of the National Catho-
lie Welfare Conference in Wash
ington declared that faith in God
"bestows upon youth the princi-
pies by which man must live if be
is to contribute to the survival of
goodness and justice" and that
youth with faith in their country
look to the foundation of America
under God with liberty and justice
for all.
Youth must also have faith in
the family, because they know that
nations are built upon families,
and they must have faith in them
selves so that the fears and the
irresolution of present day society
cannot affect them, the NCWC
unit asserted.

Co. Rounds Out Sixty
Bright Years OF Service

OF operations this company has experienced
many adverse conditions but has ever push
eel forward and upward in furnishing and
enlarging its insurance services, while at
the same time providing dignified and
worthy young men and women who serve
it as Agents, Clerks, Supervisors, Bookkeep-
ers, Accountants and Specialists on Punch
Card Systems and the like. And today, de-
spite operating in the above mentioned linn
tied area, it has not only returned to it's

has accumulated stable and outstanding
Assets in excess of $3,O0O,OOO
The fact that the operations of this COM
pany have always been largely among race
people and the costs to operate the business
have been necessarily high and, in addition
to these fundamental burdens, the Insurance
Departments have required the putting up
OF full reserves on all policies in force and
maintaining sizeable surplus, and now
these departments have added new re-
quirement to cushion any future shocks
against the policyholders during times of
stress,--the same being known as Security
Evaluation Reserve, all these things make
it the wonder of the age that this company
has attained to such an enviable financial
position as referred to above, and as is
shown in it's 60th Condensed Financial State
ment appearing in other columns in this
edition.
At the last Annual Meeting the stock
holders, after reviewing favorably the re-
cord OF the company's operations for 1852,

Public Housing And
Republican Economy
(By Randolph L. Whitley

Public Housing under Fereral sponsor
ship has long been bone of contention be-
tween the Federal Housing Authority and
American private housing interests since it
has been conclusively proven that the Fed
eral Plan has benefited the greatest number
of people.
On the local level, city authorities, be-
cause of the excessive pressure exterted upon
them by real estate interests, have offered
numerous excuses as to why their cities
should reject the Federal Plan, the prin-
cipal one being the cry of government con-
troll"
Now, with the National Administrations
apparent rejection of the present Public
Housing Plan, it would seem that local
authorities the country over have been pro-
vided with staunch ally.
Only few weeks ago the Republican
leadership nominated former Representa-
tive Albert M. Cole (R-Kan.) a longtime
foe of Public Housing and staunch advo-
cate of higher interest rates on federally
insured or guaranteed mortgages for the
position of Director of Housing and Home
Finance Agency
The Housing and Finance Agency SUI
pervises the Public Housing Agency. So
it is obvious that the trend is toward
drastic curtailment of Public Housing for
those of our citizens, who, due to their
economic status, are unable to provide
themselves with livable homes.
Housing is one of charlottesville most
acute needs. But, because of the alarming
economic conditions facing sizeable seq
ment of it's citizens, private capital can
not, in truth, afford to provide decent
housing for the returns available. Hence,
without federal aid, the prospects of their
problem being solved grows DINNER as
council vacillates.
Our new Republican leadership isn't
only seeking to curtail the public hous-
ing program, it's "hatchet men, seem to
lean heavily on the ppolicy of indirect
control" especially the policies involving
money and credit. They seem to think that
initiation can be halted and prosperity
maintained by raising interest rates, bal
ancing the budget, and reducing spending
Well, spending is being reduced at least
If press and radio releases are accurate
thousands of American workers are losing
their jobs daily. Yet, these "hatchet men"

sands more loose from their source of
livelihood. Their goal seems to be a eight
dollar"
But, unless America guards against
the dangerous policy of trying to avoid
the problem of preventing initiation by
abandoning the pursuit of full employment
it will be faced with one of the worst de-
pressions in it's history. Because it is only
through full employment and the fair dist
ribution of this nations abundance among
all people and all groups will it continue
to maintain prosperity.
Whether our Republican leaders will
recognize the danger signals already ap-
pearing on the economic horizon and alter
their course before it is too late remains
to be seen. Certainly the economic picture
appears faded from here.

Last Of Boyhood
Friends Of Booker
I. Washington
Dies In Roanoke

DOOhCi w dolllliS COH Dill LII
place---Mr. Henry Swain, 95
year old resident of Frank
lin County, Va, died at
Burrell Memorial Hospital,
on March 16. "Uncle Hen
ry," as he was known in all
Franklin County, was the
last of the boyhood friends
of Booker It. Washington.
He could recall wildly, in-
cidents on the old Burrough
plantation when he and the
the late Booker T. did the
many chores that were as
signed to slave children to
;doS The farewell that he
waved to young Booker t.
as he left Franklin County
for Maiden, w. Va. after
freedom was declared, was
one of his favorite topics of
conversation.
Mr.. Swain was instrument
tai in supplying much his
torical data in connection
with the establishment of
the Booker T. Washington
Birthplace Memorial. The
Commonwealth of Virginia
erected a replica of the cab
in which Booker T. Wash
ington was born on the loca-
ton designated by "Unc'.
Henry as the site of the o~i-
ginal cabin. In 1916 NJ.
Swain made a trip to Wash
ington, D. G. to present IS
Harry S. Truman, who was
then President Of the Unit { /
States, the first memor'nl
half dollar issued by the u.
S. Treasury to honor Boc+er
Z. Washington. Mr.. Tru
man was especially kind to-
the old gentlemen, Pictures
were made with the Presi-
dent. These were carried
by the press of the Nation.
According to S. J. Phillips,
President of the Booker r.
Washington Birthplace Me-
mortal, "Uncle Henry was
one of the best and most re-
liable sources of informa-
ton on the boyhood days of
Booker T. Washington.
Mr.. Phillips states too that
Uncle Henry was especially
proud of the Memorial es-
tablished at the birthplace
of Booker T. Washington.
He was never too busy to at
tend the various gatherings
held there, or to give infor-
nation to the many people
who interviewed him on
these occasions.
In spite of his advanced
age, "Uncle Henry" owned
and operated a 1876 acre
farm not far from the birth
place Of Booker T. Wash.
ington. He is survived by a
wife, two sons, two daugh.
