Their study of traffic needs be-
tween the two cities.
Spokesman for the group told
special hearing called by the
Governor that the measure
would represent a sharp depar-
ture from Virginia's traditional
pay-as-you-go free road system
Gov. Stanley called the hear

Stores Renew Protest
OF Red Tape Imposed
On Trade-In Items

Retail stores have renewed
their campaign to rewrite the
law regulating trade in second
hand goods.
Spokesman for department
stores, jewelry shops and gaSo-
line service stations yesterday
told the Commissioners the pres
ent law is an unfair burden on
places which accept trade-in
merchandise.
The Commissioners took the
matter under Amusement.
1t was one of several hear
ings on the matter in the last
three years.
Dealers in secondhand items
are required to pay a $50 license
fee, have employees fingerprinted,
keep secondhand merchandise
for IS days before disposing of
1t and submit daily reports to
police on goods received.
William Press. executive vice
president of the Board Of Trade.
said the law was not intended
to apply to stores which deal
primarily in new merchandise.
II strictly enforced, it would
impose a heavy burden on con-
Germs that accept old radios, tele-
vision sets. stoves. refrigerators
and the like as trade-ins on new
items. he said,
Deputy Police Chief Howard
V. Covell said police have not
been enforcing the law in re-
CARDS to neW-item stores.
He said a lot of stolen mer-
chandiSe is recovered from sec
ond-hand dealers. TeleviSion sets
are a major item. he said, adding
that the police department wants
to contingue to get reports on
IV sets received.
He said c. T. Nottingham. su-
perintendent of licenses, told him
a number of merchants have
asked refund of their $50 fees,
arguing that competitors have
not paid it.
Tony Pritchard, executive vice
president of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association, also
called for an amendment that
would exclude stores dealing
primarily in new goods.
WarehOuSing Problem.
William G. Hills, managing
director Of the Electrical InSti-
tute of Washington. said extra
warehouses would be needed If
appliance stores had to obey the
15-day retention clause.
Horace Walker, representing
District gasoline stations, said
strict enforcement would severely
handicap service stations that
allow credit on traded-in tires
and batteries.
Henry Brylawski, lawyer for
the Washington Retail jewelers.,
said it would be unfair to make
his clients post the $50 fee just
because they accept old watches.
Many of the trade-ins must be
junked. he said.
Stanley Hayman, speaking for
the Independent Cash Register
Association, said his groups
firms do 90 per cent of their
business in new merchandise
and should not be licensed as
secondhand stores.

grew up IN another village. He
worked in carpenter shop un-

years he was an intinerant
preacher. He never wrote a book
He never held an officer. He
never owned home. He never
had a family. He never went to

side a big city. He never Travelled
200 miles from the place where
he was born. He never did one Of
the things that usually accom-

While he was still young

turned against him His friends
ran away. He Was turned over
to his enemies. He went through
a mockery of a trial He was
nailed TO cross betWeenS two
thieves while he was dying, his
executioncts gamhled for the only
piece OF property he had on

When he was dead. he was laid
in a borrowed grave through the

On Highways

Editor Of Herald.
We are appalled, by the III
crease III automobile accident
and death rate in our state and
the country at large. According 10
latest reports this rate is about
30 percent higher in Virginia
during 1854 over the previous
year.
There is an answer to this pro-
blem-Caution and Courtesy Peo-
pie don't bump each other while
walking down the street no mat
ter how crowded the sidewalk
may be neither do they butt
headlong into each other TO get
the only chair in an office Why
Because they exercise caution and
extend courtesy But put an object
Weighing nearly two tons with
over 100 horsepower at their dis
poSal and Immediately they b.
come the sole owner OF the street
with the thought that everyone
else is wrong and should get out
Of their way The problem Of the
driver with bad motor manners
IS more serious in the aggregate
than the problem OF the drunken
/ driver. Then there Is the SloWpOke
that is sometimes worse. they
poke along blocking the street or
! highways never thinking that
someone else needs to get by.
Until We learn to exercise Gait
ton and extend courtesy in our
driving, no laws or sets Of stand
ards governing the condition of
automobiles viii be of much value
in saving the waste of life that
has become so common place on
our streets and highways
With kindeSt regards, I am

The enclosed editorial "Alco-
hol Problem" cncoura "cs me- to
try TO express some hing have
wanted to say all the 13ars my
husband and 7 have subscribed to
and enjoyed the Commonwealth.
But for one distressing feature
should have sent this magazine
to young friends and should like
now TO turn over our file to
local school library AS see it
drinking Whiskey can wreck lives
land has done so as completely
as can the taking OF narcotics.
Yet in the October issue Of Com
monwealth. just picked up, |
count no less than six vhiskey
advertisements.
That our government has cho-
sen TO depend upon revenue from
the sale Of alcohol for any part
Of the support Of schools, the
training Of youth, is source Of
constant regret 70 at least this
one citizen. How I wish that
your voice" might advocate the
use Of such funds in research
! prevention and cure of alcoholism
and eliminate The Whiskey ad-
vertisement!
This criticism is offered res
pecbfully with full recognition
and appreciation of the splendid
work you are doing.
