OFFICIAL WASHINGTON has been en-
~ barrassed by the crisis over Cyprus,
in the Mediterranean. The middleof-the-
deared US either to the British or to the
Greeks
Ironically. actions taken by Washington
have embittered both sides First, the
Greeks had hoped for support from the
United States, since they felt that the Y.
s position against colonialism would tend
to shape T.. S. policy in their favor. How
ever, the United States could not afford to
affront its one dependable ally, Great
Britain, by intervening in a dispute which
is, at best, highly complicated.
Among other things, the United States
has to deal with the fact that the Turks.
comprising about one-fifth OF the popula-
ton on Cyprus, are violently opposed TO
the suggestion that the island be turned
over to Greek inhabitants, which would
mean union with Greece
When the United States did not align
itself with the movement for independence
among Greeks on Cyprus, our embassy in
Athens and our flag in several other areas
of Greece became the target of fanatical
and hostile Greek mobs. In our effort to
be fair, in offering our good services to
negotiate and in suggesting that the
British keep negotiations open with the
Greeks, We inadvertently played into the
hands of the Labor Party in England and
aroused our conservative party friends.

COMMUNITY LEADERS are continually
~ looking for new industry and new bus

gressive and growing. These efforts are to
be commended.
However, it is just as important to develop

businesses and the industries now located
in the community. One of this areas

During the past fifteen years the demand
for wood fibre has increased by leaps and
bounds Trees have become an important
crop on the farm, especially in this area.
Forest fires are the greatest menace to
woodlands In the spring the floor of the
forest becomes dry, sometimes finder dry
and highly Vulnerable to fire. Likewise, IN
the spring, farmers begin to clean up new
ground or clear hedgerows by burning the
dead vegetatio n or, sportsmen, fishermen

A New Solid South

THE SOLID SOUTH should continue to
be solid whenever the strong arm Of
tyranny is thrust across the Potomac
River 1t should be solid for the South, not
for any mans party. And with the strength
it possesses and asst cause, it can defeat
full edict of the Supreme Court At the pre-
sent time. and in the dilemma in which the
South now finds itself, the South has no
party. Republicans and Democrats alike
have followed the path Of political ex-
periency to the South's great injury. We
must protect ourselves. Our leaders and
lawmakers should bend every energy to
organize the Southern states for the pro-
lection Of the Southern people.

BABSON

Babson Park, Mass, March "
Today's news features on auto
matte factories. cheap atomic
power, and political uncertainties
are grist for the labor unions
Their leaders are saying these
things will cause unemployment
and that the only cure for un-
employment is a shorter work
week. Talk is of 30-hour week;
but my guess is the first move
will be to 36-hour week,-then
32-hour week,
What About Automatic Factories?
Factories have constantly be-
come more automatic for the
past fifty years The great ad-
vance, however, has come with
the development of electronics.
Some industries such at the OIL
refining industry. have already
become eighty per cent aumo-
matte; it had no unemployment
and is paying the higest wages
ever. Union labor leaders cannot
vet show the automatic factory
IS causing unemployment
In the long run, automation
may bring a shorter work-week;
but the change will be slow. The
rebuilding OF a manufacturing
plant to be elf-operating is very
expensive. Thousands OF con-
solicitations must take place before
such revolutionary changes will
come about. There. however, will
be more opportunities for new
companies which can start from
the ground W with the very
latest automatic machinery. How
ever, my chief purpose this week
is to suggest certain industries
which should definitely benefit
from a shorter work-week.

Middle Of the Road

BY suggesting that negotiations be kept
open, after the British had deported the
leader of terrorist activities on Cyprus in
recent months, we seemed to be supporting
the Labor Party in England, which was
bitterly criticizing Eden's policies concern
ing Cyprus.
States has lost something on both sides.
Perhaps this was inevitable in the case of
Cyprus. However, it may not be much
longer before this Government will feel
constrained to issue a basic policy pro-
nouncement, sympathetic with the aims of
colonial peoples everywhere.
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1956-03-27

We recall one Easter Monday many
wears ago the sun at midday was hidden
by smoke and smog from forest fires. A
large portion of the eastern part of Buck
ingham county was destroyed. From east
of Willis Mountain south, almost to Farm
Vile there was blackened mass Of de-
struction by forest fire. This section has
not yet recovered from that conflagration
on that Easter Monday the result OF
human carelessness.
In order to save a precious natural re-
source of this area, we urge, eNhort ana
plead with those who use the woods to
exert every care in the week ahead. Burn
trash only after 100 p. m, using every
care even then. Break your matches while
in the woods Carefully eXtinguish every bit
of camp fires. Use your ash tray to eX-
tnguish cigarettes in wooded areas. Re
port forest fires to the nearest fire warden
Between now and May Is every citizen
should be conscious Of forest fire danger
1t is not much to ask that strict precaution
be used to protect our important natural
reSource-the forests.

The "Do-It- Yourself" Business
All companies catering TO the
do it yourself" trade should
benefit from the shorter work
week. I especially have in mind
the American Machine & Foundry
Company. 26l Madison Avenue,
New York City. and the Black &
Decker Manufacturing Company.
If Towson, Maryland. These have
fitted up many of the tool
rooms" which have been built in
the Easements Of houses and
farms Furthermore, American
Machine g. Foundry makes bow
ling alley equipment and is be-
coming an important factor in
automation. guided missiles. and
atomic energy reactor equipment.
Another group which should
benefit are companies which cater
to the painting of walls of homes
with rollers. My favorite corpora
ton here is the Glidden Company
Of Cleveland. but there are many
others.
II you want to benefit from ell
phases OF the "do-it-yourself"
movement. buy the stocks of the
United Stores Corporation, having
460 stores retailing. at low prices,
most Of these products. especially
recommend the End pfd.. at So

Although the stocks of these
ten companies should prosper
better than most other companies
during a business depression. vet
no stocks will then be foolproof
aS to price.
