Bulletin Discusses
Questions About
inheritance, Wills

About four out of every five
farmers in the South have made
no plans for the disposal of their
property after their death.
1t has been found that many
farmers have misrepresentation
as to the person who will inherit
Their farm At their death. A
number Of them believe that it
viii pass into the hands Of their
wives. while actually the law in
Virginia gives wife of an mites
, tate one who dies without a wel)
only dower interest in the real
estate.
Other cases in the files reveal
costly lawsuits over property
which was improperly devised and
which could nave been prevented
by small expenditure of money
IN preparing a proper will.
These and other dishearten-
ing facts arc brought out in a
new bulletin issued by the Agri-
cultural Extension Service of Viz
ginia.
The bulletin is Inheritance
Your Farm and Family which is
available from county agents or
the VPI Agricultural Extension
Service, BlacEsburg.
The bulletin discusses obiec-
tiyes, methods and problems in
the inheritance of property and
answers some of the questions
farmers often ask No attempt is
made to provide legal help. Rath-
en-. farmers are advised to con-
suit a competent attorney in pre-
pairing any legal papers necessary

Another escapee, about whom much has
been written most of which has also been
forgotten was the head of the Jewish sec
ton of the Gestapo Adolph Eichmann.
Hoettl points out that these three men all
prepared escape plans and in the closing
days of the war in April of 1915 made good
their escape.
They are still living. and free, accord
ing to Hoett. No doubt any one of these
men could shed much light on the history
OF Nazi Germany in view of the successful
burning Of Hitlers' personal files
1t does seem extraordinary that the
search for these three men has been APP
parently almost forgotten, and that the
world goes merrily on. forgetting these men
and their activities in that dramatic per-

when they affected the fate Of millions

Traffic conditions have changed since
the day when the New Departure brake was
lust the thing
Autos move faster-speciaIly at night
Bikes are bit more rare than they were in
the day when many workmen travelled to
and fro on the two-wheeled cycles Kids
graduate directly from the velocipede to
the 150-horsepower job. People don't ex-
pect bikes on the roads any more, and the
sidewalks, absolutely, are forbidden.
For these reasons, the kid with the bike
nowadays has to be super careful He has
to be extra cautious of every car If he is out
at night, he must realize that the best of
battery-hghting is none too safe. He must
never ride a companion on his bike. And
ne must be sure to obey the laws such as
the one that says he is different than a
pedestrian and must travel in the same
direction as the autos
It's tough-and the follows with those

Because of the size of the order, low

tree himself, or pay small amount to have
it planted by the nursery Trees which did

Both Segregated

The Farmyille Herald.
1t is my opinion that the South
IS very foolish to continue totally
segregated schools Why not have
both segregated and unsegregated
schools
Continue segregation in the
present schools and build mors
segregated schools where needed.
but also build one small school
six rooms, two grades to a room.
plus science room. home &C
room. library. lunch room. prin-
cipal's office and auditorium in
each school district and let it be
an integrated school.
l believe that this would be the
most reasonable solution since the
South would continue Segreea-

with the Supreme Court decision
BY having certain schools inte-

Fast Cars, Few Bikes Careful

WE were not a youngster who was brought
up in the saddle, although we envied
that kid who had a Shetland" nightly
and we occasionally got our ticks in on an
old nag that was gentle and peaceful and
good as anything else for making saddle
sores.
Instead Of being young range rider,
we had to be content with riding bicycle.
And by today's standard, it was a Won
der we lived through it. We had no lights,
for lights were pretty rare on bikes in
those days We had reflector on the rear
fender until the darned, old fender rusted
bit and pulled off one day
We rode two on a bike when necessary
We didn't hold up our hands off the handle
bars and YELL Hey, Nav, look no
handsi" Reason we didn't was because we
always rode that way when possible and it
was so commonplace that we'd have been
silly to make any comment. We did stand
up one the crossbars few times without
hands to see what it was like but decided
that a circus performers life wasn't for
us.
Only point we have in bringing this up
IS that we have distinct liking for all kids
who ride bikes. And we would like to see

On Bonded Knees

IN gordens, oft we kneel to work,
Sowing seeds Or pIontin9 shrubs,
Or wedding out some tiny spot
Where bulbs protude their tender nubs.
Our knees pressed down on mother eorth
Feel her warm glow os from heorth.
For underneath the fertile soil
There is O rhythm, throb ond beot,
The pulse Of nature throbbine soft
Below the stoIks Of corn ond wheot
The flowers ond the crosses know
The force of noture down below
The cottIe Who in valleys groze
Lie down beneath blue summer skies
To rest upon old mother earth,
But cotte too must kneeI to rise,
And sheep, when neor q rivers brink,
Upon their knees, lean down TO drink
So gardeners kneeI in sprinetime's sun
To scotter seeds of fruit and flower.
Or set tiny plant in poce
Port Of O pleasant springtme hour,
When oil Gods creatures seem to feel
An urge within to pouse and kneeI
But only man, upon this eorth
In noture, Gods work sees,
And man alone, shows gratitude
To Him on Bonded knees.
