ment in saying that the United States
should not be placed in the position of vot-
ing sanctions on Israel because Isreal
would not obey United Nations directive
when the Soviet Union disreguards United
Nations difectives at will
What Senator Knowland is actually say
ing is that the United Nations is unable to
keep peace in the world or have its direc-
tives obeyed. This has been obvious for
years to all those who have faced the facts
and who have watched the United Nations
in operation.
The United Nations will never gain the
prestige and authority needed to make it
a capable peace-keeping organization until
it has some forceful means of backing up
is decisions. AS long as Russia can COM
pletely disregard all the buzzings and
speeches and resolutions passed by the
United Nations, then the organization is
only effective with those nations so weak
they cannot afford to buck a move such as
sanctions

Possibly It was his philosophy. He once
told US: when sit down to worry, go to
sleep, and when wake up I've forgotten
what | was worrying about" We believe
that he lived day-by-day with the goal of
making this day better than yesterday, and
not worrying about tomorrow Certainly
his CHEEKY whistle which was always with
him, or his humorous turn Of mind, stood
him IN good stead. When times were tight
and money scarce he complained of 'finan-
cial Indigestion, but he always paid his
bills and returned his borrowings.
Farmville citizens in every walk Of life,
both white and Negro, express a sense of
loss III the passing of Chris Reed. His gem
lai smile, tWinkling eye keen witticisms,
and his unassuming example of a happy
philosophy of living. will be missed by
many FarnlVlllians, young and old, who
knew him.

Reasonable Enforcement

WITH Americans turning increasingly to
T" the roads in their quests for vacations
and break in the routine, or monotony 1t
is important that the driving public be pro-
tected from communities which seek to gam
financial reward by sticking motorists I'M
reasonably every time they can possibly be
caught in violation of some slight traffic
law.
One of the main arteries Of traffic in the
United States at this time Of the year is the
highway system between the Northeast and
Florida, which carries so many New York
ers and other Fasteners, to Florida. The
main highways along this route are 3Ol
and No. |. Route l seems to be carrying
less traffic than 301 along much of its
course.
Reports in recent weeks indicate that
speed traps are being operated in North
Carolina on No. / and perhaps in several
other states, and those who operate motor
courts, restaurants filling stations and the
towns themselves, ought to be interested in

Another Link Gone

0NE of the few remaining links with old
- Farmville was broken Monday, when
Christopher Columbus Reed went to his re-
ward. He spent every day of his IA years
plus in Farmville, except for one time he
was called as witness before a Federal
Court in Richmond His feet have trod all
most every piece Of public walkways, as he
delivered special lie tiers for the Postoffice
since 1901 the majority Of the time on foot.
From early morning until late evening
Chris Reed was on the streets Of Farmville,
hustling along He had to hustle as provid-
CT for Is children.
Chris was one of the happiest people we
ever knew In all of the years we knew him
there was never complaint, never an I'M
kind expression about his fellow citizen,
never harsh or angry word. He took life
in his stride

Little Choice

MINORITY Senate leader William F.
Va KnoWland, Of California, has attacked
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles for
saving that the United States would ser
iously consider Joining sanctions if they are
voted against Israel.
The Secretary was replying to question
on the subject of sanctions which were be-
ing discussed in the United Nations. If that
world body voted sanctions against Israel,
for refusing to withdraw her troops from
territory she recently invaded, the Secre-
tary said the United States would consider
joining in the punishment.
Secretary Dulles could have said nothing
less. If he had said the United States would
not join in the sanctions, then it would
have been an open invitation to Israel to re-
main in territory she had recently captur-
ed. Therefore, we do not go along with any
criticism of the Secretary of State on this
count.
However, it is also true that Minority
Leader knoWland has an irrefutabe argu-

] suppose that most Of you saw
in last weeks Farmville Herald a
report that the Prince Edward
County Board Of Supervisors had
petitioned the Game Commission
to permit the taking Of two Buck
Deer per hunter in this county
next year.
Rather than draw a hasty con-
clusion on this action. I have
written to Mr.. Chester r. Phelps,
Chief of the Game Division Of the
Commission for certain statistics
on the deer herd in our county
But / must add that it is not my
opinion that we have deer in such
quantity as to justify any such
action as this.
Admittedly, Deer seem to be
making a slight gain in our coun-
ty, but I don't believe that the
number killed would indicate that
we have reached a point where
lberalizing the bag limit is in
order.

the manner 0ut-Of-State guests are treated
in these situations.
At one location, along Highway No. l.,
we are told. motorists are unnel e d
in and out Of a busy court during day and
night hours, and the judge is, as expected,
always on hand even during the late hours
of the night, to remove little money from
the unlucky motorist
Many Of these motorists are st pped for
going q few miles miles an hour over the
speed limit, in perfectly good weather. 1t
is obvious u motorists so ensnared that
they have run into a speed trap and that
the main object of the attack is not to en-
courage safe driving or enforce the laws,
but to get as much money out of the trave-
Ter as possible.
Such a racket whether carried on High
way No. | in North Carolina, or elsewhere
IN another state, will-in the long run-do
the state, the community and the business
establishments of the area irreparable
harm.

Wanted: A Sign!
When Jesus was teaching and
healing in Galilee, he was doing
so without any official authorize
ton from what we would call the
church. And yet he claimed to
speak and work with the authori-
ty Of God, The church officials
did not take this easily They kept
Fostering him: Show us a Sign!"
they said How do we know you
are right? How do we know what
you say is from God? To this day
there are people who are not sat
iSfied with what God has shown
Us. They want to know: How do
we know the Bible is true? How
do we know Jesus was the Son
Of God? If the preacher would
let himself be bitten by rattle
snakes, without getting hurt; if
the stars arranged themselves in
the sky so as to spell personal
message from heaven; if some
modern Joshua would make the
sun stand still, such people think
they would find it easier TO be-
lieve.
The Signs Are Up

duce any such sign from heaven"
as he was challenged to cali down

Praise
On Phoenix
editor, Phoenix Jewish News:

With the 1857 United Jewish Wei
fare Fund campaign in Phoenix
almost completed, I want to take
this opportunity to express to you
the thanks of our organization for
the splendid cooperation you have
given us during this campaign.
Phoenix is one of the first COM
munities to complete its drive for
1857. It is also the first commun-
| ity to top the total amount raised
in 1913. The United Jewish Appeal
has publicized this achievement
throughout the country, and we are
certain that it will have tremend-
Gus impact as other communities
gather speed in conducting their
drive on behalf of both the regular
campaign and the Emergency Res
cue Fund.
Several of the innovations used
in the Phoenix campaign this year
are being adopted by other COM
munities, which, I believe, is proof
of the fact that the campaign has
met with success. I have had the
privilege of working with most of
the campaign leaders during the
1857 campaign as well as with Mr..
Kaplan, the executive director. It
has not only been a pleasant ex-
/ perience, but a very fruitful one
indeed.
May extend to both you and
Mrs. Goldman a very personal
thank you for the wonderful hos
pitality you extended to some of
the speakers who came to Phoenix
during the progress of the cam
paign. Your hospitality made their
trip to Phoenix a truly memorable
one.
