moved to the cities or to the cast or west

It's natural thought We've sometimes
wondered the same thing
An author, AEthur Gordon, left small
town as Young man, chasing rainbows in
New York City. Today he's back in his
home town, having discovered that aver
age American is happier and more success

He's not necessarily referring to money
or fame or Job prestige. The lasting salts

contributions TO life itself
The secret of successful living in any
community, Gordon point out. is to think
in terms of what you can put into your
community, how YOU can make it better

we're convinced he's dead right. The hap

Large cities are filled with insecure pcc

they neither understand nor enjoy.
But your home town is the most import

AS usual the eight-county area of Prince
-, Edward and contiguous counties has
the lowest unemployment record in Viz
ginia except one, that being Halifax and
Mecklenburg counties. The Prince Edward
area had 300 unemployed and Halifax
Mecklenburg $50 The industrial areas led
the list with 1000 in the Richmond area
and 47O0 in Norfolk, and about 1000 IN
the Southwest mining counties.
Employment is still high by ordinary
standards, and much of the December |
unemployment was due to seasonal occu-
pations, according to a report of Division
of Planning and Development. The State
total had reached 10000 unemployed, a
Slight rise since September.
Several large construction projects are
scheduled to begin, especially in the Lynch
burg area, and Norfolk which no doubt
will take up the slack when favorable
weather returns.
This Slight increase in unemployment
is to be expected and causes no alarm. The
Prince Edward area is generally the high
est employment area in the State. Most of
the employabes are in agriculture and IT
is generally the case that agricultural areas
arc more stable as to employment than arc
highly industrial sections. The agricultural
areas can be chosen easily from map

H."
He told a Jefferson-Jackson Day
dinner that the President has been
making great speeches but he
fought to have someone to imple-
ment his good words and noble
sentiments.
Turning to the farm problem, he
said, when the farmers get a
chance they will do to Ike politi-
cally what he has been doing to
them economically"
Referring to Senator'S Mccarthy
(R-Wis) and Jenner (R-Ind), he
said that during the 1852 presi-
dental campaign, the junior sem
ator from Wisconsin and the junior
senator from Indiana said the
Democratic party was one of trea-

@. have been rated as totally

mean that after six months l can

A. Not necessarily. The criteria
for determining total disability for

same as for CT insurance. What
you should do is file a claim for
waiver of your premium pay

however, until VA tells you to

by, is rounding out his first term
in the Senate and will be DIP for
reelection later this year. But be-
fore being elected to the Senate in
1913, he served for 10 years in the
House.
An enthusiastic fisherman and a
former schoolteacher and editor,
he was a member of the House
Un-American Activities Committee
and sometimes served as its chair
man during its sensational Red
hunts of bygone years.
An apt phrase maker, he reput-
edly coined the term Pumpkin
Papers" for the State Department
documents which Whitaker Cham
bers had hidden in a pumpkin on
his farm in nearby Maryland.
These figured in the House groups

Department official now in a fed

perjury.
In 1945 Mundt was one of the
leaders in the successful fight to
make the Un.American Activities
Committee a regular standing COM
mittee of the House. Up to that
time, it had been a temporary
group for about 10 years.
With Vice President Richard
Nixon, then member of the House
Un-American Activities Committee
Mundt co-authored bill to require
registration of the Communist par
ty and other subversive organiza-
tons. The legislation got through
the House.
Although this measure was not
passed by the Senate, Congress in
corporated some of its main fea-
lures in the internal security law
enacted in 1850 over the veto of
former President Truman.
AS House member, Mundt also
was a co-sponsor of legislation
setting up the Voice of America
to broadcast American aims to
radio listeners abroad. He had
come back from a European trip
convinced of the need to counter
act Soviet propaganda.
On the Senate Investigations sub
committee, he has been a close

Superstition
Is StrongIn
Russian Minds

MOSCOW R-You might think
that after Sc years of Communist
rule the Russian people would
have gotten rid of superstitions,
especially such practices as going
to soothsayerS anu fortune tellers.
Perhaps superstition's survival
might still be explained in the
backward areas, in remote vii
lagos.
But what are you to say when
this practice thrives in such a city
as Minsk, which has a quarter
million population and is the
metropolis and capital of Byelo-
russia?
And what's more-how about
well.dressed ladies going to visit
the fortune tellers, and some of
them using the automobiles of
their husbands who are in official
positions? What kind of example
are these ladies setting for the
less fortunate, the leSs-learned
folk about town?
The newspaper Soviet Byelorus-
STA has plenty to say about this
in an article titled 1.-THE Terrible
Sign" 1t deals with the fortune
telling racket in Minsk and puts
the finger on people who, it says,
should know better. These include
not only well-dressed ladies but
members of Komsomol, the Com
munist Youth League.
Soviet Byelorussia reports:
"For instance, Gypsy, Ekat-
crime Shorkoze, has been telling
fortunes to gullible women for
four years. She lives two kilomet-
ers from MinSk anG supports a
large family, including her hus-
band who does not work. She is
expanding her activities and she
mas special agents who give her
publicity for small price. She
earns quite lot. -
st also happens that automo.
biles stop at this Yoman's house.
Well-dressed women descend. Ap-
parently they come here in their
husbands office cars. They look
about and quickly enter the house,
where they listen to the ignorant
chatter of the fortune teller-not
even ashamed of their moral
poverty of mind"

New Trends For
Diet Therapy

Columbus, O., Talk and demon
stration presented by Mrs Martha
n. Lewis, director of department of
dietetics, Ohio State University
Hospital, associate professor in
medicine and home economics.
The most outstanding trend in
diet therapy is recognition of the
need for food in sickness as we'll
as in health. It's a need for an
abundance of all essential elements
of good nutrition to fit each in
dividual.
Many people have felt that being
on a diet and semi-starvation were
one and the same thing. The men,
ton of the word diet sent them in
to tremOrS.
All of us are on diets. Our daily
food is oul uaily diet, whether it's
good or bad.
Until just Jne IasU rev years every
hospital had a special diet kitchen.
There were diabetic diets, sippy
diets and many others. Today,
dieticianS look at the person and
not at the disease alone. There IS
a diet for Mrs. Jones, a diet fo-
Mrs. Smith, and so on.
At the new Ohio State Univer-
sity Medical Health Center, there
are cooks trained to prepare foods
good for sick folks. They prepare
it SO that sick folks feel they are
getting good food.

ISLANDS RESTORATION
AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS are G

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS are carrying the,report that
Laurence Spefman Rockefeller, owner of the Cancel Bay
resort is negotiating for the purchase of Bluebeard Castle
Hotel for around $4,000. What makes Mr.. Rockefellers
bid stand out is that he not only will pay cash, but promises
also to help develop and conserve the old charm Of the
Islands, and this should make for added prosperity
THIS IS GOOD news for the Islands. The hotel which
first put these Islands on the road to tourist development
will get a shot in the arm, perhaps be enlarged and developed
to stand on an equal footing with the finest on the mainland.
But more, by owners whose concern for the Development of
the Islands is beyond the realm Of exploitation.
IT IS ALSO GOOD to see in print, with Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's approval that there is the intention to conserve the old
charm somewhat along the lines that the Rockefeller family
developed colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, There is much
opportunity for that, and those who specialize in that sort
Of thing will find a field day as they seek to keep in tact the
charm and beauty of the old world influence within Ameri-
can territory.
PERHAPS WITH A little urging the Rockefeller family
could be persuaded to take one look at what St. GTox has
to conserve for future generations. Time was. when the
Islands main industry was producing sugar, from the plant
ing to the boiling, and shipping to market, and the power to-
run the mills which ground the sugacaie came from the
wind. That is why so many hills are dotted with sugar mills.
These say something. In addition there is much to the archi-
lecture which should never be lost, and just a little. resora-
ton could easily solve that problem.
WILLIAMSBURG IS a shining example Of the upselfish
public spirit Of one family which decided to give something
worthwhile for the enjoyment and ediication Of posterity
An extension Of that to the Virgin Islands would be welcomed
gratefully
