Pamphn
OF prime Importance to the to-
bacco growers and others in this
area. Congressman Abbitt pointed
out that the House Agriculture com
mittee had passed resolution that
the 10 per cent cut in dark fired to-
bacco be be placed in the soil bank
rather than reducing the allotment
Of the individual farmers, This will
go to Congress for consideration
now
Abbitt later expressed the belief
that the only reason for taking cut
in the acreage of Virginia tobacco
is that our type q tobacco is con-
sidered in the same category with
Kentucky and Tennessee tobaccoS
that have not sold well in recent
years.
He said that VIC are basically an
area Of small farms. small bust
nesseS and small industries. and the
economic health of our entire state
is largely dependent on the con-
dition of our farm economy

bacco farmers, said Abbitt. is to

Umpire Lon Warneke was once

first World Series appearance
against the Yankees.
Before the game photog-
raphers asked him to pose.
Warneke refused.
II never pose on days when
I'm going to PITCH" he told
them.
why, are you supersti-
tious?" asked one photog-

THE DETAILS

Gary W.-When I married a
European girl, a lot of of fell
lows said they envied me be-
cause I would never have to
worry about in-laws. Well, I've
had lot more in-law trouble
than men who have their IN
laws living in the same house.
For the past six years I've
been having a transatlantic
battle with my in-laws. They
want to see my wife and the
children once a year. They've
got it figured out that they pay
for the passages one year and
l pay the next. They consider
this very fair" Well, it may
be fair. but it's still an awfuIly
big expense.
Not only that. but they expect
my wife to spend two months
with them. Now two months
is an awfully long time to be
alone and not see your own
children. I'm fed up.
Cynthia WI don't blame
Gary for feeling as he does,
but it Just can't be helped. The
trips are a big drain on our
budget, but they are worth
while If my parents are kept
happy. We would like them to
visit us. but they can't because
they have younger children
they don't want to leave be-
hind.
Two months is a long time
for us to be separated, but it
really doesn't pay to take that
long trip for only few weeks.
Besides. my parents plan such
a big program Of visiting and
entertaining friends and rela-
tives, 1t takes at least that long
to get through the list.
I am very much annoyed to
see that Gary wants TO go back
on the agreement ne made
with my parents about these
visits before we we're married.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Gary should never have en-
tered a definite agreement with
his in-laws on the number and
duration Of visits home he
would permit his wife. Never
theless, it doesn't seem right
that he and his wife should
have TO suffer indefinitely for
a rather unfair promise ex-
tracted when. he was young,
rash and eager to get married.
Gary should recognize that
hif problem is not really with
IN in-laws. but with his wife.
1t 5 she who appears to be
