The StOne,UaU Jackson H0sDitoI

'from The Roanoke Times-sunday, February T. 1854
While the dedication of the new Stonewall Jackson
Hospital in Lexington and the working out of plans to
transform his former home in that town into a shrine
are focusing public attention upon the famous Con-
federate chieftan, would like to point out that me-
mortal to General Jackson, of sort to bring him the
deepest qualification ne alive to see it, was placed
In Roanoke in 1906. In that year the Rev DR. Lburn
Lggns Downing pastor of the Fifth Avenue Presbyter-
ian Church of Roanoke took the lead "in having me-
memorial window placed in his church honor of Stone
wall Jackson the great Confederate General who had
been the Sunday School tutor of the minister's parents
before the Civil War" That window is a beautiful tri-
butte to a great who was a sincere and humble
Christian. In true the church in which it was
placed and DR. Downing himself beloved and honored
Christian minister and highly useful civic servant and
leader are greater and even beautiful memorials
General Jackson, for without the devoted ministry of
this Christian layman to Negroes of Lexington Dr.
Downing would not have been what he was and in all
probability the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church of
Roanoke would not have been in existence

The years between a per-
sons 18th and 25th birth
days are usually the years
in which he must find his
place in the economic world.
Therefore it is quite sig
nificant that the number of
persons in this age group
will grow by almost SO per
cent between 1860 and 1870,
after having remained rel
atively unchanged for 80
years prior to 1860. Prob
lens Of absorbing these
young people into the &C.
onomic life of the nation
will become much more SER
ious in the 1865.
Trends in the particular
segment of the population
which is between Is and
25 are quite different from
trends in the total popula-
ton. Although the total
population of the country
grew phenomenally between
1910 and 1850, the number
of Is to 25-year olds ac-
tually declined. This was
due to the low birth rate in
the 1905, which resulted
in a comparatively low num-
Der of young people in 1850.
By contrast, the uneXpect-
edly high birthrate in the
years since World War II
means that in 1870 there
will be an exceptionally
large number of persons be-
tween Is and 25. This ex-
plains why the number of
people in this age class will
increase by almost SO per-
Icent in the decade of the
1960's, while the population
as a whole will probably
increase by less than 1 5
lpercent.
Despite the astounding
rapidity of our recent pop
ulation growth we have SO
far had no great increase
in the number of young
people for whom we must
provide jobs each year. We
had better be prepared for

a drastic change in this sit
uation after 1860.
The number of persons
between Is and 25 can be
forecast with fair accuracy
for 1860 and 1870. Most of
the individuals who will be
in this age group in 1870
have already been born. All
that is necessary is to esti-
mate the effect of deaths
and migration. The pre-
dictions indicated on the
chart can be accepted with
much greater confidence
than forecasts of future

Lastes' With The Leastes'

Too late for publication last week. the mail brought
beat from Herman Hartman saying his piece about the
celebrated Temporary City Employe.'
In line with policy of letting readers sound off in The
Letter Box print it this week and throw in little free
advice.
First-Herman should realize that the Sentinel for SO
years has been newspaper which proud of its public
service, accuracy and integrity 1t still is
Second-The Sentinel prints what is and lets the
chips fall on whoever gets in the way
Third-Far than just reporting the news, paper
has duty interpret and sort of watchdog for
the people.
Fourth-Dont bully newspaper. 1t can't be done.
Our readers know that all meetings of the new Mayor
and Town Council have covered for what they
worth
Rather than being biased" during Rockvle's recent
election campaign the Sentinel turned much of its space
to all three sides, without partality.
Quoting the nexttoast paragraph of Hartmans squea
"a newspaper has responsibilities to its readers ardon
the taking out of contexD you also justified in with
holding letters which contribute nothing to the public fund
of information"
We agree chief responsibility is to holer when some
thing goes wrong.
And would have withheld Mr. Hartman's letter, ex-
cept that it has official one he is speaking for the
Rockville heads.
Either that he is writing from his private Babeon-

which contributes nothing to the public fund of information

EIectricity's Diamond Jubilee

This year is electric lights Diamond Jubilee. Seventy
five years ago Thomas Edison invented the ncandescent
lamp In that period of tme-ony moment as history is
has utterly transformed the living and
working standards of the American people.
This is true of the home, of industry of the farm-one
ndustry greatest achievements is that SO cent of all
farms using electricity have it available And the
of power get far for each dollar than was
the the passomehg that can be said of few other
commodities or services In 1853 instance the household
user paid only per cent of his cotovng expenditures
for electricity compared with 15 per cent in 1929 Yet
the average of electricity in the home quadruped during
the intervening time
The electric industry has become of the largest tax
payers at all levels of government 22 per cent OF its
total for taxes. is in the midst of multi
billion dollar expansion program which has made possible the
meeting of soaring demand capacity has been
increased 1t fact of the utmost significance that the only
power shortages have been in regions where normal private
enterprise development has been held back because OF drives
to socaze the business and create political power monopoly
The record speaks for itself. There is conceivable
bower need that the industry cannot satisfy at amazingly
low charge to the consumer.

Drought

Continued from Page u
if any significant rainfall occurs
within the coming week, county
farmers were urged to feed hay
rather than allow milk cows and
beef cattle to sustain losses in
milk or weight. Mr.. Anderson
pointed out that it is difficult
to restore milk production in such
cases and that the losses in milk
would be greater than the ex-
pense of hay feeding.
Related to the problem of
pasturage and silage is a new
method of silage preservation
that is being used by Montgomery
County farmers for the first
time-the application of sodium
metabisulphite to silage to con-
serve its protein food value.
Tests at the University of Mary
land and the U. S. Department
of Agriculture's Beltsville re-
search center have indicated its
value although county farmers
using it will not be able to assess
results until this winter.
