Board Approves
Part-Time .Jailer
Post For County
Action Taken
In Move To Meet
State Standard

The Prince Edward county
board of supervisors has autho-
rlzed the employment of part
time deputy sheriff and jailer tc
help meet standards for jails es-
tabllshed by the Division of Cor
rections of the Department of
Welfare. and Institutions.
Isaac P. Wilkerson is now per-
forming such duties three DAYS
each week after appointment by
Sheriff James T. Clark. The rate
OF pay was established in accord
ance with the standard approved
by the State Compensation Board
In a report of an inspection of
the jail made Nov 26, r. M.
Youell, director Of the Division of
Corrections, recommended the
employment of at least one full
time day jailer with the status
and pay of a full time deputy
sheriff
Personnel Needed
The inspector noted, according
to Youell'S report to the board of
supervisors. that the jail opera
tlon here was sub standard in a
number of respects. chiefly be-
cause lack OF personnel made de-
tailed jail supervision insufficient,
The inspection report pointed
out that any violence, improper
conduct or attempt to escape
would not be known until the
damage was done" under condi-
tons existing when the inspec-
tan was made.
Youells report described the
county Jail here as "a good jail"
but said the lack of a jail house
for a full-time jailer was a "plln-
clpaI deficiency
The situation led the inspector
to note that 1t is doubtful that
there is sufficient supervision to
properly maintain discipline.
The Code of Virginia authorizes
dil0F Q4ftClS the SJdLe 6OdIQ OF
Welfare and Institutions TO estab-
lish minimum standards for jails.
Under previous arrangements, the
sheriff and his deputies gave
whatever supervision they could
while performing then principal
duties, the report noted.
Election Costs
In othr action, the supervisors
approved a s954.31 appropriation
for payment of expenses and cleo
ton officials pay covering the re-
cent presidential election.
Supervisor w. w. Vaughan was
added to the boards committee
which is studying the possibility
of a county auto license tax.

Say Farmers
Need More Time
To Ready Leaf

BUYERS following auctions on the
Virginia dark tobacco markets took
1856 sales, and the large quantity of
leaf containing too much water. and
a lcng look at the light volume of
came up with an answer last week:
Postpone the after Christmas
reopening of the markets until Mon
day, January I.
j. William Huntington. of Farm
vile, president of Huntington To
bacco Company and heavy buyer
on the dark leaf markets. said the
decision was made at a meeting of
buyers Just prior to last weeks Holt
day suspension of sales.
Reasons Given
The veteran tobaccoman pointed
to the lack of rainfall and of a
season for growers preparations.
These have resulted in compare
lively light volume of sales against
known heavy quantity of tobacco
remaining to be sold.
The buyers also considered the
great amount of tobacco marketed
in unsafe order and graded wet.
Estimates place in thousands of
dollars the amount of money lost
by farmers who have tried unsuc-
cessfully, in many cases. to beat
the dry weather by wetting their
tobacco
The Virginia Department of Agri-
culture reported as follows in its
pelt-Wlde summary through the
sales last week:
Belt-Wide Report
Prices turned downward for Vir-
glnla fire cured tobacco during the
week ending December 10. Deliver
les to markets picked up and more
tobacco was sold than in either of
the previous two weeks. Quality of
offerings was below that of the
prior week
Gross sales during the week
amounted to 1898, 1923 pounds for an
average Of 500 "a per hundred. This
return was decrease of 81 81 from
the week before Volume for the
season to date has totaled 3.455, 1884
pounds for a $4o02 average
Around 81 per cent of the grade
averages showed losses from the
previous week The great majority
OF these occurred for fair to choice
qualities of both heavy and thin
leaf, and wrappers. Nondescript
also declined Other grades we're
mostly unchanged Deere asses
amounted to chiefly 81 to SO.
Greater percentages of low quail
lty and nondescript were sold last
week The proportions of heavy and
thin leaf We're lower and there we're
more lugS. An unusually large
amount of tobacco in unsafe order
was graded. This was brought about
by growers putting too much water
on their offerings in preparing them
fer market.
