the department would not put
into effect sharp service curtail.
ments which Postmaster Gen.
eral Summerfield had said
would be ordered tomorrow IL
the extra money was not pro-
ivided at once.
The department has requested
Congress to give it an extra
SAT million for the next three
months. An appropriations sub
committee approved SIT million
of the request last Wednesday,.
Warned on Cutback
Mr. Summerfield said that
was inadequate, and announced
that starting tomorrow he would
order such steps as to halt all
mail deliveries on Saturdays and
stop selling money orders.
/ He has said unforeseen ex-
IpenseS stemmed from increased
mail volume and the need
to serve expanding residential
areas.
When the Appropriations
COMMITTEE met today to con-
slider the annual money bill for
the Commerce Department, most
Republicans and some Demo-
Gratis favored immediate action
on the Post Office funds. but q
motion to consider the matter
was ruled out of order.
/ Finally, however. after a re-
lportedly tempestuous session, the
committee agreed TO notify Mr..
Summarized he could count on
at least the SIT million and that
the COMMITTEES, would consider
how much more. if any. to give
him at meeting next Friday.
Chairman Cannon. Democrat
OF Missouri, told newsmen it
would be up to the full COM
mittee to decide how much
money Ito appropriate. Indica-
tions we're that a majority of
members favored more than SIT
million.
+ Lack Necessary Vote
Members favoring formal ac-
ton today were unable to mus
ter the two-thirds vote necessary
to suspend the rules so the
committee could consider mat
tiers other than the Commerce
appropriation. However. they
had a majority that prevented
adjournment until a compromise
was worked out.
Mr.. Cannon said the decision
finally made was taken by voice
vote and had "a good majority."

British Embassy
Probe Texas Arrest
Of Nigeriun

WASHINGTON : The Brit
ish Embassy reported it ha
asked for a full report on the
arrest and filming of a Nigerian
student who refused to move
to the back of a bus in Hen
oerson, Texas. An embassy
spokesman said a report is ex-
pected from the British Con-
sui in Houston.
The Nigerian, Essin Essin,
thirty, a student at Southwest
Christian College at Terrill
Texas, repeatedly was hit Sa-
turday by a slapjack welded
by a Henderson County police
man who later arrested him.
An embassy spokesman said
the British would decide what
to do, if anything, after the
full report. The case fell with
in the embassy's jurisdiction
because Nigeria, in w e S t
Africa, is a British colony and
protectorate. The FBI in Dali
las, Tex, said it had been
asked by the Department of
Juice to determine the facts
Of the matter"
Mr.. Essin was fined $25 after
pleading guilty to disturbing
the peace and resisting arrest.
He was jailed for a few hours
until "a college official ap-
peared and paid his fine.

A Bit Of Nostalgia

WE may be pardoned, we hope, for a bit
Of nostalgia On March T. 1921, we
bought the Herald from the estate of J. l..
Hart Mr. Hart had published the paper
since 1891, having acquired it from the
Farmvile Iron & Coal Company, which
company established it in 1890. Thus The
Herald has something of record, as week
ly newspapers go, of having only two pub
fishers in its 66 years of existence. We be-
gin our 36th year as publisher with this
edition.
Many changes have taken place in those
36 years. We can recall only six firms, now
doing business in Farmville, which were
directed by the same persons in 1921, name
~. Baldwin's, F. G. Baldwin; The Hub, E.
Weinberg; Versers. Frank Verser; New
man-C Chevrolet S ales Company, George
Newman; Electric Shoe Shop, George Rog-
ers F. w Hubbard Insurance. There may
be others we do not recall Immediately. OF
course many of the older firms still sur
vive with other managing directors, such
as Huntington Tobacco Co, Martin, The
Jeweler, w G. Newman Company, Putney
Tobacco Co. Davidson's. ChappelPs, Gray's
Drug Co.. the three banks, Buffalo Shook
Co., Prince Edward Hotel, Motley Con-
struction Co, Farmville, Mfg. Co.. Taylor
Mfg. Co., possibly others.
Names of some of the older firms have
passed away, such as c. NJ. Walkers Sons
Co, H. A. Barrow & Co, George Richard
son, Paulett & Bugg, Misses Davidson, j.
A. Armistead Max Landman, R w Gar
nett & Co.. c. c. Cowan, Mack's Barber
Shop, Upton's Barber Shop, Ingersoll Ho-
tel, Chas. Bugg & Sons, Mcintosh & Cana
da, w. ]. Hillsman, Cobbs Motor Company
Duyall Motor Co., etc,
The number of new firms are legion.
The Farmville herald and farmer-leader. (Farmville, Va.) 1934-1957, 1957-03-12

Beginning in 1921 just after the impact
of World War I, we have experienced some
good times and some bad times, lush bus
mess, depressions, wars, Invitations, grow
ing pains in business, civic activities com
munity service Institutions, etc.
During this long period The Herald has
performed its part with the periodic chang
es. It's circulation has increased from ap-
proximately 500 to over 5000 The circula-
ton area has increased from limited sec
ton of Prince Edward county to the maj
parts Of five counties, and minor portions
of several others. The loyal cooperation of
first, three, then, six, now, fifteen employ
ees has made possible this long service to
the people of this area.
AS we look back on 36 years service we
count high the many friendships for the
newspaper throughout this wide area. We
are pleased to have rejoiced in the success
es sympathized in the sorrows, and contri-
buted our part in the solutions of many
problems.
Looking forward, we may expect the
same periods of ups and downs which have
beset us in the past. We may expect that
the people Of this area will use the same
good judgement in their solutions. The
younger generation, which is and will take
its share Of the responsibilities, is capable,
determined, energetic and ambitious More
and more young men are making Farmville
and this section their homes A fair share
of native sons have remained in the section,
and to them the future offers a challenge.
So, as another milestone is passed, we
face the rising SUM-, with determination
to contribute our part to the ever changing
development of our native home.
Honor for the past, help for the present
and hope for the future" is the Heralds
time-honored slogan.

or when a line has been discon-

the customer. but also the manager
and clerks who could not be ex-
pected to memorize the price of
every item in the store.
Pay More to Fewer Employees
Mr.. Manager, you would do well
to screen your employees thorough
ly. The question. "Can you use a
cash register?" should not be suf-
ficient. Make sure, at the beginning
that he or she will use 1t honestly
or you may find a small per cent of
your profit tricklpg out through the
register. II you viii observe your
new employees closely, you will
learn whether they are really inter-
ested in the work or whether the
job is merely a stop-gap for them.

Mallocclusion may cause facial
deformitjes. 1t may contribute to
speech defects, 1t may interfere
with proper eating habits. causing
malnutrition. The teeth may be es-
pecially susceptible to dental decay
because their position makes it diff
ficult to clean them properly, And
malloclusion may lead to diseases
of the gums later in life.
Dentists agree generally on the
major causes Of irregular teeth.
There is evidence that heredity
may play a part Another cause is
persistent thumbsucking beyond the
age of about five. and other habits
that put abnormal pressure on the
teeth and jays,
Still another cause is premature
loss of first teeth or too long reten-
ton of first teeth. The condition de
velops most commonly during the
time when a child is losing his first
teeth and when his second teeth are
appearing.
The development of badly po
sitioned teeth may often be pre-
vented by periodic dental care. Fol-
