scope.
Father James McQuade. Sd, ex-

Looking up from his microscope
into the TV cameras during rehear-
sails here, the Jesuit Father said,
Lets take the same approach as
the biologist-only, instead of put.
ting the amoeba under the lens oi
the microscope, let's put the Catho
lie there and see what he believes.
In his series, Catholics Be-
lieve," Father Mcouade said he
will ignore the controversial and
take fhe strict scientific approach
Of the biologist.
Father McQuade, who came tc
New York for the series from Johr

washington has a solution, which

wage for those who are employed

My forecast is that there is no

the employers, for more auto

April is beautiful month in Southside
Virginia. An annual pilgrimage, with the
Sayler's Creek Battle Field as the focal
point, could be arranged over the retreat
route of the Confederate forces, during
this time Of the year as commemorative
event in Virginia history.
We suggest that the retreat route be
marked with flowers Flowering bulbs,
daffodifs, could be used to mark the Federal
routes and positions and azaleas to mark
the Confederate routes and positions. Bulbs
and plants can be obtained for this purpose
at minimum expense. Norfolk is noted
for its aZaleas, and the Tidewater counties
are noted for bulbs. We believe sufficient
bulbs or plants can be secured from these
sources to mark a highway from Petersburg
to Appomattox, making it one of Virgina's
most popular spring tours. The beauty of
such highway with additional interest in
its historical Importance offers an oppor-
tunlty to develop an attraction in this area
which would be widely visited
If the interest of civic, historical and
patriotic organizations can be enlisted
from Petersburg to Appomattox each tax
ing section of the highway to plant, we
believe the azalea historical trail can be-
come a reality

Letters To Editor
Can Balance Budget 1854 : 1855
Without Tax Increase Wilson SAYS
Editor of Herald.

Editor of Herald:
With much interest l have read
your editorials with reference to
the proposed increase in tax rate
to meet the deficit appearing I'M
the school budget for the 1854
SIS session.
Il am also gratltied that much
interest is being manifested by
citizens generally for I am sure
that most of them know that the
r r Motion High School has to
be paid for. However, it is my
thinking that we should balance
the school budget by some drastic
economies and by diligent search
for other sources of revenue than
that of increasing the tax rate on
property. | am convinced that we
can do this for the present pro-
posed budget.
My reason for opposing the
increase in tax on property at this
| time are as follows. First, if we
| continue to meet the increasing
cost of County government by a
| property tax it will continue to be
difficult to get the legislature to
grant additional sources of rev
enue to the localities. second. we
are right now having the required
reappraisal Of real estate in
Prince Edward County which in
my opinion is going to eliminate
many inequalities in the tax bur
den' and we expect some deci-
sion from the Supreme Court
ana If this decision supports the
present Virginia constitution there
should be pressure brought to
cause prompt legislation to pro-
vide additional sources Of revenue
tor the localities such as will cause
fairer distribution of the tax
burden, and relieve property Of
the ever increasing tax rate
While | am not presumptious
to the extent to be arbitrary.
after much thought my convic-
lions are as stated above and as
member of the Board of Super
Yisors l shall use my best efforts
q support this line of procedure
Or some better way which may be
presented
Sincerely yours,

If we could know the agony
This hill, this house has known,
We could not see, for bitter tears,
That spring has come again.
That spring has taken every road
BY which our soldiers came
We couldn't see white dogwcod trees
In circlng woods. A rain
OF black death once descended there,
And red death blaZed each line
OF anguished defenders. Now birds
Sing in liIacs. Then
The wounded cried beside this door,
AS battle blared to its seen
End. We couldn't feel the peace
OF these fields, flower -strewn,
Or pause to acknowledge the power of God
Transcending the plans Of men
If we could know the agony

We could not see for bitter tears,
That spring has come again.

md better results.
Offsetting High Labor Cost


The rapid increase in self ser
vice stores and coin machines is
| another illustration of how great
er sales are handled with fewer
clerks. This also reduces chances
OF loss to the store from dishon-
est clerks who do not ring up sales
properly. The practice followed
by most modern super markets
will be adopted by many stores in
other lines. All these changes
have been forced upon manufact-
urers and merchants by union
labor leaders. And the resultant
unemployment is due to prosper
ity-not to depression
All these plans for saving labor
were G r d IL o IL ~ building up
throughout the Truman Admins
tration. The labor leaders de-
manded higher wages; the con-
sumers resisted higher prices; so
there was only one thing for the
manufacturer and merchant to do
n m e y. introduce automatic
machinery b o tn for producing
and for selling goods. Further
more, the nation is Just starting
on the new departure To hold
ones Job in the future one must
take a greater interest and do
better work at the bench and at
the counter
What Are the Facts?
The above facts are why l say
that 1854 can be a fair year not
withstanding an increase in the
number of unemployed. The fol-
lowing figures are interesting and
important. At the top of the last
big boom in 1928-l929. lqo of the
population was unemployed. In
1882 at the dept of the depression,
go OF the population was I'M
ployed. Today. with a population
of l6l 100000 people. only go is
unemployed. There will not be
much unemployment when spring
building gets into full swing.
What Is the Solution

unemployed people cannot buy

NATO Defense Cornerstone

THE fifth anniversary of the founding of
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
occurred early this month President
Dwight d. Eisenhower and Secretary of
State John Foster Dulles took occasion to
comment on the unity of the free nations
represented in NATO.
This was not merely a perfunctory rec
ignition. In the discussion and planning
for the European Defense Community,
which has filled the headlines recently,
some forget that the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization is the United States ace in
the hole in its battle against Communism
in Europe.
This was clearly evidenf when Russia
recently suggested that she would consider
joining the organization NATO is still
