Reds Dump Zinc 10 Hit
U. 5. Plans, Expert Says

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. "a
The American Mining Congress
winds up today with a discus
sion of taxes and technical
forms before the 5000 delegates
George o. Argall jr.. editor Of
the Mining World, told the con-
vention yesterday that Soviet
Russia is increasing its mineral
production in an effort to dis
rupt and confuse" the world
market.
Mr.. Argall declared the free
world mineral stockpiling is
based on capacity. while Russia s
increase is designed to throw the
recent normal mineral supply
pattern out of kilter.
It was more than a coinci-
dence," he said, that Russia S
zinc was sold in Great Britain
at a discount shortly after Presi-
dent Eisenhower announced a
stepped up program for stock
piling lead and zinc.
Russia doesn't have to oper-
ate on a strict profit or loss
basis" he said, "and so it can
undersell any mining company
in the world. 1t can and will if
by such sales a producing free
world mine can be forced out of
business"

81. Marys Fair
Brought About by
Community Effort
By james Birchfield

LEONARDTOWN. Md, Sept.
24.-The st. Marys County Fair,
which opens here today, is pri-
marily an agricultural event, but
almost everybody in the county
has had a hand in it.
The fair, being held for the
eighth year, is a community
event, and it was brought about
by community effort.
Farmers who show their prize
livestock and best tobacco are
not the only ones interested in
the fair Many of the men and
women who have come into the
county with the armed services
during recent years have played
a big part in putting the fair
over.
Secretary Not a Farmer.
The secretary treasurer of the
Fair Board, for example. isn't
a farmer. Mr.. and Mrs. P. w.
Poindexter came to st. Marys
about IL years ago. Mr.. Poin-
dexter is a civilian employed at
the Patuxent River Naval Air
Station.
He got interested in the fair,
and then Mrs. Poindexter also
got interested. She became &C
tive in the womens auxiliary.
The results of this community
interest may be seen particularly
in the women's departments. The
flower show, which occupies
nearly one half of an exhibition
building, is managed by the
county garden clubs.
The fair is held each year on
county owned land south of here
on Route S. The fair board leases
the land, but owns the buildings
that have been built within the
last few years. largely from do
nations of material and labor.
John S. Mattingly, one of the
county's leading farmers, is pres
ident Of the board.
Review of Exhibits.
Here is a review of the princi-
pal exhibits:
Women's Department - Be-
cause of the countrywide interest
of both farm and non-farm
women, this department is out
standing.
Livestock A good livestock
show. with the beef breeds DOM
mating.
Farm Crops-Naturally to-
bacco is the primary crop in
Southern Maryland, and the fair
exhibits are good.
POultry-One entire exhibit
building has been given over to
the poultry department, and is
well filled with the most popular
breeds of birds.

Letters To Editor
Joe Jarman
An Appreciation

In the death of Joe Jarman
on May first. the town OF Farm
vile and indeed the State Of Vir-
ginia lost rare personality. He
was of a type that is fast vanish
ing-an Individual who dared to
be himself at all times, without
fear and without pretens. The
distinction that he achieved in
life might we'll become a legend
now that he is dead.
Joseph Lindsay Jarnan Jr was
BORN at Emory, Virginia on Aug
ust 10, 1897. When he was five
years old his father, who had
been professor Of chemistry at
Emory and Henry College, NOV
ed to Farmville and became the
revered president of what is now
LongWOod College. But Joe never
ira d e d on either his fathers
name nor his reputation He re-
manned Joe Jarman' always His
love for F'almVille was great; it
was always home to him, and to
it he return often.
Joe Jarman's true vocation was
people, or as he preferred to call
them. folks AS a lodestone at
tracts a magnet so people were
drawn to Joe Jarman. He, on his
part was like a fish out of water
when people were not around. He
was equally at home with women
as with men, with children as with
| adults, poor as with rich, Negro
or white. From people he seemed
to draw the strength that the
psalmist drew from the hills. 1t
is doubtful if any man in Viz
ginia now living knows as many
people in all walks OF society as
did he.
And the people who naturally
flocked to him came away re-
warded. They may have entered
his presence detected or with q
| chip on the shoulder; if so, they
did not leave in that frame OF
mind. Joe always gave one a lift

What About Initiation?
In view of what is happening

but it should help well located
vacant land and certains other
real estate. In view of the pre-
ferred treatment received during
World War II by the owner of
business property. some vacant
business property may be a good
purchase.
Initiation should also help farm
crop prices and aid merchants.
I am especially bullish on the
market prices Of the securities of
the drug and variety chains
Many Of these stocks now yield
from So to l0go and should
benefit from mild imitation. Too
much initiation can harm every

Taft Hartley and Initiation
forecast that the proposed
legislation to amend the Taft
Hartley Bill will remain buried
until after the November elect

President Eisenhower wanted. it
would have m a e your dollar
worth more. If it had passed
amended as certain labor leaders
wanted. it would have made your
dollar worth less. AS any action
has now been delayed, its pre-
sent effect on initiation will be
nil,
Considering all other Congress
sional legislation to date, I fore
cast the net result will be mildly
lnflationary. This should help

ducers. The ultimate consumer
