But the current message has
a section that stands out sharp
ly from the usual gentle tone
Here it is:
For the past month Point
Hope has been the center OF
operations for the war Of the
white man against the polar
bear. Over a dozen planes have
been deployed out of here at one
time or another for this unequal
battle and the entire village has
become distressed over the tao
tics employed.
These involve spotting the
bears from the air, chasing
them until they are exhausted
and then landing on the ice
and shooting them after the
bears are too tired to run away
The meat. needed by the Eski-
mos. is left to waste far out
on the ice.
I'VE all feel unhappy over
this because it ruins the hunt
ing for the village, it is UNI
sporting, and it is against in
telligent conservation practices. /"

Ruling Expected,
Whitehead SAYS

RICHMOND, Jan. IL (P.-
Nelson County Delegate Robert
Whitehead said today he was
not surprised Virginia's Pupil
Placement bill had been held
unconstitutional.
He said Federal Judge Walter
E. Hoffman's action at Norfolk
yesterday answered predictions
by % opponents to the legisla-
ton in the General Assembly
that lit would be thrown out by
the courts"
Had the assembly followed
the recommendations of the
Gray Commission, we would now
have solid standing in court. AS
it is. the public may expect the
laws passed at the special ses-
sion to be knocked down like
pins in a bowling alley" Mr..
Whitehead said.
Judge Hoffman yesterday
denied a motion for dismissal of
school desegregation suits in
Newport News and Norfolk and
attached to his ruling a 10000
word memorandum declaring the
Legislatures pupil placement
plan unconstitutional on its
face"
Mr.. Whitehead was an orig
inal hacker of the Gray Com
mission plan for avoiding inte-
grafton in State public schools
but backed off when Gov. STAN
ley came forward with further
legislation. including a plan for
cutting off funds to any school
that integrated.
Another delegate. Baldwin G
Locher of Rockbridge County
recalled he was disturbed over
the legislation at the time of the
special session and had hoped
for a longer period of grace be-
fore Virginia would be faced
with having its anti-integration
laws knocked down by the courts

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. IL (P).-
Gov. McKeldin said today he
will fully back a move by the
State Roads Commission to re-
move billboards from Maryland
expressways and control those on
other highways.
The SRC is drafting the legis-
lation for introduction within
the next two weeks as an alter
nate to bills calling for a
"watered down" version of road
side control.
II am in favor of the strictest
measures we can enact on this
subject" Gov. McKeldin said.
He said if the SRC bills can't
be enacted, he will favor those
introduced this week by Senator
John Grason Turnbull and Dele
gate A. Gordon Boone, Baltimore
County Democrats, which would
leave control of billboards to
county commissioners and coming
authorities.
Three bills are in the package
being drafted by the SRC and
they too are "watered down
from previous attempts at road
side control in Maryland in that
they deal only with billboards
and other outdoor advertising.
One would repeal all existing
statutes on outdoor advertising
Another would prohibit any
outdoor advertising at all within
500 feet of a controlled or limited
access highway in Maryland.
The third relates to advertis-
ing on other State highways and
provides that advertising COM
panies would have to obtain
licenses from the State to erect
any signs and these would have
to be specified distances from
road intersections. The measure
would not apply to "for sale
signs and those which advertise
homegrown produce. thus elm

features farmers have found to

BY GEORGE KENNEDY

The 5:25 commuter train into
Virginia made its last run last
night from Union station.
No. 80, although Diesel pow
cred. was as obsolete as a stage
coach in the opinion of officials
of the Richmond. Fredericks-
burg & Potomac Railroad. They
obtained Interstate Commerce
Commission permission to end
its services With it goes the
morning counterpart, No. 10,
which used to arrive at 8 am.
at Union Station after making
the local and some flag stops
all the way from Richmond.
This reporter and a photog-
rapher made the trip from Union
Station to Quantico Friday night
The conductor, 1. c. Purvis, who
lives in Richmond and has been
on the run off and on for the
past seven years, was sad about
it. He will be reassigned to
train with fewer stops but he
felt that his public was losing
a great convenience in the pass
ing of old 30.
The engineer, Leo Carrier, a
plump, jolly fellow, didn't seem
bothered at all.
We left Union Station prompt
ly at 5:25 with 70 passengers
aboard. 1t was the last ride on
20 for most of them as they do
not come to the Capital on Sat-
urdays.
There was some discussion
among the passengers as to how
old was 90. William S. Jones, re-
tired Washington superintend-
ent of the Pullman Co. who was
on his way to his home at SOC
Elm street. Alexandria, said he
remembered serving on it as
a Pullman conductor in 1910. At
that time she had Pullman cars
and a diner. 1t has had only two
coaches in recent years.

Commuter 7 rain Makes
Last Run Into Virqinio

James D. Haynes. an architect
with the Veterans Administration
who lives at Cherry Hill near
Quantico, said that trains run
ming late had cut down on the
number of commuters.
After they have been locked
or dressed down a couple of
times at the Office for being late, I"
he said, "the commuters ar
range for other means of trans
portation."
Mr.. Jones said that when he
moved to Alexandria in 1927
there were five commuter trains
each way, three on the Southern
and two on the r. F. g. P. Now
there are none.
Miss Grace Dabney, who lives
south of Woodbridge. had been
committing on No. 10 in the
morning and No. 90 in the eve
ming the longest.
Miss Dabney, a shy descend
ant of the Dabneys of Glouces-
ter County who lived as aristo-
cratic and feudal existance as
was possible in the New World,
said she had been riding the
trains for "a years. She is a
clerk in the Home Beneficial
Life Insurance Co.'s Washington
office.
The railroad arranged a stop
on her fathers farm and called
it Dabney. The railroad man
ayers wanted to build a little
station there for the Dabneys.
But we didn't want it," she
said. I'VE were afraid tramps
would stay there. l would just
sit on the porch until l heard
the whistle just before Z am.
and then run down to the track" .
Since 1923, when Route l was
being paved through a quag-
'mire; through the market break
"a nd the great depression.
through World War II and the
Korean War, she caught that
train every working day.

office. A part of the nominating
petition is the pledge of the signer
TO the petition that he will support
and vote for the proposed candi-
date at the election, and that he
has not signed the nominating pc
titions of more candidates for said
office than the number to be elect
ed thereto.
The petition form carries place
for the elector to insert the date
on which he signed the petition.
This dates becomes of vital import
ance where an elector has signed
more nominating petitions for an
office than the number to be elect
ed to that office. Only the sigma
ture on the first petition that the
elector signed will be considered
valid; the theory being that on the
first petition he did not violate the
pledge that he signed, but on any
subsequent petitions he signed, he
did violate this oath. For example,
where an elector has signed the
nominating petitions of two candi-
dates for the office of township
clerk, and there is only one town.
ship clerk to be elected, it is i'm
cumbent upon the Board of Elec-
tions to determine which of the
two petitions the elector signed
first in point of time.

Practices Chanqe
Yield Of Sweet
Potatoes In Ohio

COLUMBUS Successful sweet
potato production depends upon
many different practices, but the
maintenance of a large leaf area is
necessary for high yields, says E.
c. Wittmeyer, Ohio State Univer-
sity extension horticulturist.
/ Carbohydrates necessary for
root enlargement are manufacture
ed in the leaves. Eventually these
food materials move to the root,
Wittmeyer explains. Unlike Irish
potatoes, very few insects and dis
eases damage sweet potato plants
under Ohio conditions.
The sweet potato vines should
not be pruned or cut in case they
make a heavy growth. Removing
the vines will reduce yields, ac-
cording to the horticulturist.
He suggests sweet potatoes be
cultivated aften enough to control
weeds and maintain the ridge on
which they are planted. Long vines
should be moved several times
during the early part of the grow
ing season to prevent formation of
roots except at the base of the
plant. Roofing later in the season,
after August Is, will not be harm
full, Wittmeyer says.
