Letters To Editor
81 Still Like Ike"
Says DR.. Whitaker

Editor. Farmville Herald
Since reading your editorial In
last weeks Herald, in which YOU
stated that you will support and
cast your vote for the Andrews
Protest Party. / have been doing
much reading in many newspapers
and magazines to learn all l can
about the various parties. their
candidates and what they advo-
cate. The more I read and the
more l learn about the candidates
who are asking us to cast our
votes for them. the more ] am
convinced that it is to the best
interest of our country. taking all
things into consideration for us
to vote for and elect President
Eisenhower to serve as our Presl-
dent for another four years.
As l see it, the question that
should be in the mind of each of
us when we cast our vote in this
coming election, is will our coun- |
try be better off If Stevenson is |
elected or will it be better off. all |
things considered, if Eisenhower
is elected?

OF the country were hit by the in

in the chart is significant.
While there is considerable
range in per capita income between
the regions. there has been strong
tendency for those regions which
have the lowest per capita incomes
to grow more rapidly than those
which are above the average The

coach fare.
A total saving. it is estimated, on a night
run. using the new-type coach-room, would
amount to 1898 Differences in service
are that the coach-type rooms have no shoe
shines. no water jugs. and there is only one
pillow and one towel. However, the coach
type room is bargain. since it will give
the economy minded traveller sleeping
quarters and privacy at no increase in fare.
We are glad to see railroads make some
Improvement in coach service. Already on

The Great Out Of-Doors

Migratory waterfowl are COM
ing into the State in increasing
numbers. with the advent Of cold
weather to the north of us.
George Reid reported some days
ago that flight of nine Canada
Ceer were circling the open
water back of his service station,
and on yesterday he brought an
injured Grebe into the store.
These little waterfowl are called
by a number of Water
Witches, 'Heil-Divers' and several
more which I can't recall. Since
they are not good to eat, no
sportsman ever shoots one. and
It's mystery how this one came
to be crippled.
The season for Ducks and
Geese. will open next Wednesday
1t half an hour before sunrise
about $40 in this area. Shooting
is legal until sunset.
In the interest of conservation
should like to urge all good
Sportsmen to at least try not to
shoot waterfowl In places where

some cripples are going to get

roads is being made. A new-type coach car
which carries forty passengers is being
put into operation this fall on the Bur-

The new cars will allow a coach pas

example. the charge for the coach room on
the Zephyr is to be $3.50 per night For

November, which gets its name because
it was the ninth month of the old Roman
calendar, is the next to the last month OF
the year. and one in which fall is turning
steadily into winter.
1t is the month of Thanksgiving, which
falls on the 22nd this year. and on that
day many a hunter will go into the fields
in search of his favorite game and, of
course, various other hunting seasons will
