ed to such an extent that the second floor
must be completed. For this purpose the
present solicitation for 5000 our share,
is in progress.
Fortunately, our community can obtain
S199. 500 in construction at the cost of $45,-
600. The Ford Foundation allotted $44,600
to the hospital last year. Federal and State
a d through t h e Hill Burton program
amounts to S104, 500. The Lions Club in
1852 began fund to complete the building
by contributing $500, and other gifts and
donations available amount to $4,000. Thus
900 is needed from our community to
complete this project. For every $1.00
given locally on this drive, more than $500
has been obtained from other sources, 81
for 81.
The Board of Managers and those con-
nected closely with the hospital believe
there will be no further need for enlarge
ment of these facilities in the foreseeabe
future, The hospital plant will have been
completed
The dedicated people who have contrib
uted $346,000 to this institution since 1850
will supply the needed fund of $4,000 for
its completion, we feel sure The sum is not
impossible, if everyone will contribute a
share in this undertaking. 1t is hoped that
the campaign which began last Thursday
will be completed quickly and construction
can begin at an early date
Dear reader, will you do your part in
this undertaking? Your contribution, large
or small according to your desire and abil-
ity, will be gratefully received, and will
help in reaching this goal

care can be met adequately then
The cost Of completing the hospital is

for medical patients in the area now oc

moved to the east wing of the hospital.
The area now occupied by the obstetrical
department will be used for medical treat
ment Thus the plan as conceived by the
architects in 1949 will have been COM

1t will be recalled that the expansion
program was begun in 1949 An estimated
cost was made and campaign to raise the
necessary $4,000, our share, was sub
scribed. The bids were opened in August of
1850. In the intervening period, the Korean
incident had occurred and prices of
everything increased, with the result that
the second floor had to be eliminated and
a second campaign for $4,000 was neces-

second floor eliminated. AS construction

My Vision Of
Sudden Death

Editor of Herald:
On evening during my sum-
mers vacation I sat watching the
traffic go by, Many cars were
passing and the scene was beau
tiful. 1t was very amusing but yet
sad to watch some who were
drivers of these fine cars.
Some drove carelessly and some
carefully. After many cars had
passed and the sun was slipping
slowly away I still sat looking on
Now what do l see?
A beautiful green car with a
driver who is heavily intoxicated.
He has lost control of his car en-
tirely and the car is now going
very fast.
The car skids and slips down a
steep hill. oyerturning many
times.
The driver is asleep. and sleep
on he will. Yes. he will sleep on
forever now without waking. For
he has secured and gained his re-
ward, but lost his life"

Prohibit Alcoholic
Advertising Says
FarmviIle Reader

Editor of Farmville Herald:
l wish to express my apprecia-
ton Of your policy in carrying no
alcoholic beverage advertising in
our local paper The Farmville
Herald We enjoy reading paper
where there are no such ads staring
us in the face, as is the case with
the Richmond papers. and many
others However, we are glad to
note that there are at least II per
cent Of the dallies in the United
States that refuse to accept alco-
holic beverage advertising in any
form,
You may recall receiving a ques-
tionnaire in 1855 from the Virginia
Methodist Advocate on this subject
I presume you have heard that your
paper is one Of only Is weekly
newspapers out Of a total Of 104 pub
lished in Virginia that refuses all
liquor ads. We are so glad that The
FarmYille Herald is one Of the Is
but there should be more OF 80
dailies in Virginia. only six refuse
all liquor ads
I It's a fact that two-thirds Of to-
days alcoholics began drinking
while of high school age" This is
the information given on poster
prepared by the Methodist Board of
Temperance.
I feel that all Christian people
should work toward the elimination
of all liquor advertising because Of
j the injurious effects of beverage al
cohol on health and character The
press, radio and teleVision are pow
erful influences in molding public
opinion. particularly that Of youth,

that some of the boys whom I would
select were not popular with their
teachers. Perhaps some Of the stu
dents felt that their teachers are
not too able and are interested only
in their salary and not III their STU
dents. 1t is a common thing TO know
people who have a green thumb
with flowers or a way with animals;
they can get first prizes in flower
shows and can easily train animals.
This is not because they are better
educated in horticulture or biology.
but bee puse they love flowers and
love animals The same principle
may apply to teachers:
I wish that publishers in each of
the 400 cities carrying my weekly
column could follow the example of
Mr. J. c. Council Of the Tampa
Tribune. I realize that few other
cities are already holding similar
fairs but 1t would be a wonder
full thing if such fairs" could take
place once a year, or at least once
in four years. in each of these 400
cities. The program would fill a
great need in most communities. II
would be greatly appreciated by
teachers and graduates. 1t would
help to hold these high school grad
yates within their own state for a
college education, rather than lose
them to some other community.
ONE MORE THOUGHT. l believe
more attention should be given tC
higher post-g duate Work-twc
years following college. In order tc
secure appropriations, presidents Of
state universities appear to feel that
they must have as large an enroll
ment as possible. Naturally the
average native intelligence de
creases as the number Of students
! increases. This tends to reduce the
standards for graduation As a re
suit, these more efficient students
too often do not return to the cities
which educated them They take
post graduate work in some other
state and then remain there l an
not ruling out a higher education
for those fitted only for trades OF
manual work. /. however. am argu
ing that the future Of every city
depends on holding the most effici
ent and ablest students. Cities bras
too much about their population
