once Until he comes. keep the
patient quiet and in bed. away
from others Don't let the patient
know you are worried Your doctor
will tell you what to do Usually
polio patients are cared for in
hospitals, but some with light at

Remember there is no quick

What a clergyman who be-
lieves firmly in the separation
Of church and state principle
should do when appointed to an
official governmental post was
solved neatly by DR.. Joseph
SimonSon recently.
DR.. Simonson was appointed
United States Ambassador to
Ethiopia. He is a Lutheran
clergyman and executive Secre-
tary of the Division of Public
Relations Of the National Lu-
theran Council.
Before his confirmation, DR..
Simonson told the Senate For
eign Relations Committee that
he would turn in his ordination
certificate as a pastor Of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church,
which he has served for % years.
II do not intend to resign my
Christian faith and life. nor my
Lutheran affiliation," he ex-
planned. But I do not want to
keep my status as a Lutheran
pastor while serving as Ambas-
sador. I expect to serve as a
layman."
DR.. SimonSon is well known to
Washington Lutherans and 9TH
ers as a result of many visits,
official and unofficial, during the
past few years. His many Dis
trict area friends are sure he
will serve his country with dis
tinction in his new role.

W ashington Action
Not Yet Taken
On Drought Relief

Prince Edward county officials
have not received word on their
application for emery n c y
drought relief assistance request
ed last month.
The county's application was
approved by the State Emergency
Drought Relief Committee on
December 3 then forwarded to
Washington where approval of
the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture is also required.
Meanwhile. Governor Battle
Saturday requested Eastern rail-
road officials to extend current
rate reductions on hay shipments
to Virginia drought disaster
areas beyond the present Deem
Der 81 deadline.
The reduction - which cuts in
half shipping costs on hay going
10 tanners in disaster area coun-
tleS-has been in effect since
November 8.
Farmers in areas approved for
drought relief measures also may
purchase mixed feeds and grain
supplements at reduced prices.
They are also eligible for hay at
reduced prices under a program
of government subsidy.
