Watch Brush Burning

IT is unlawful to burn brush in an open
: fire from now until May Is except be-
tween the hours of 100 pm. and midnight.
1t is unlawful at any time carelesslv to
burn brush in an open fire.
Forest products are an important crop
in this area. Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars are spent for rulpwood and timber.
One forest fire can destroy the growth of
many years and render timherland useless.
One careless flip of a cigarette may do
thousands of dollars in damage.
If you must burn over land or brush, take
every precaution, by having enough help to
keep it in control, be sure the fire is entirely
~extinguished before leaving it: and if fire
gets out of control call the district forestry
office il Farmville, phone 355.
After 400 pm. the winds tend to die
down, and the moisture rises to assist in
fire control.

President Richard Nixon. In this poll. Nix
on was shown 10 be stronger than he was a
few month ago. However, the Rockefeller
drive is seriously under way, and the New
York Governor is opening an office in
Washington, repeatedly for the purpose Of
keeping up With defense contracts. How
ever, some think that it will be a useful as
set in the Observation-Disclosures drive.
The most interesting revelation Of the
polls cited above is the revelation concern
ing Senator Symington. S~ymington,is pop
ular in many areas Of the country, has
served as Secretary of the Air Force, and
would certainly be the sort Of dynamic,
charming personality which the Democrats
might need to counter a man such as Gov
ernor Rockefeller.
A battle between S%ymington and Rookie
feller would he Il battle between two hand
some candidates, and neither one would ne
ccSsarily win most of the women's votes
strictly on appearances.

Probable Candidates

6 News and World Report, probably
w. the most impartial news magazine
in the United States, has recently conduct
ed a poll on presidential candidates. The
Washington magazine found, surprisingly,
that among the Democrats Senator Stuart
Symington of Missouri is the leading con
tender.
The news magazines poll was among
party leaders in the various states, and Sen
ator Symington was found to be the first
choice in nine states with 31S convention
votes. He was also second or third choice in
sixteen states with $50 votes.
Adlai Stevenson ran SECOND. and was
first choice in eight states, with 260 con
vention votes, and was second or third
choice III seven states with 274 votes.
In third spot. among Democrats, was
Senator John F. Kennedy Of Massachu-
sets, and in fourth position was Majority
Leader Lyndon Johnson Of Texas.
In another poll, the leading candidate for
the Republicans was disclosed to be Vice

AS we travel down LIES pathway, ann
~ versaries become more important. The
editor of the Herald has passed just now
one of those anniversaries, when on March
Z, he began the Both year as publlsher OF
this newspaper. The Herald has had but TWO
publishers. J. L. Hart from 1881 TO l9zl'
and the present publisher from That l9z1
to this good time. This does not set any KIND
of a record, for there are several commu-
njtv newspapers which have had equally
long records under one or two publishers,
but with the exception of the SOUTHWEST
ENTERPRISE, at Wytheville under direction
Of John A. Williams, the present long rec
ord of the Herald prevails in Virginia
today.
There is some value IN continuity OF d.
rectorship for newspapers, and there IS
much value in local ownership. The South
has, problems of absentee ownership OF
newspapers by northern capital, especially
where a local newspaper comes under con-
troll Of a chain operation. Policies are die
tated to varying degrees by publishers. and
an absentee publisher can not possibly be as
close to local situations as are LOCAL pub
fishers.
The past 50 years have been pleasant.
There have been disappointnlents a n d
achievements, good times and depresSions,
wars and peace. but through it all Farm
Vile has shown progress. There has been no
phenomenal growth, no boom times - the
progress has been slow, steady and stable.
Today, we believe FarmNille is the best
small town in Virginia. Its future is bright
for development. Should interstate route
Ga be established on the southern route 1t
will come closer to Farrnville than any
other town OF city, and therefore the devel-
opment Of Farmville should be greater. In
dustry generally follows these routes be
cause transportation today by highway is
one of the prime considerations.
AS we see the old give way to the new. We
can realize that progress is being made. For
example, the old Morris factory DIT Third
and North streets has been RACED for ex-
pansion of the Presbyterian church; Butch
er's store at High and Ely streets is gone;
the old Gillian house on South Main street
made way for the new telephone building;

A Bit Of Nostalgia

soon the Farmville Manufacturing plant
will be replaced by a modern shopping cen
ter: the old Paulett house at Main and
High streets is gone to enlarge the shopping
area; residences on High, Race and Ely
streets are being RACED to enlarge the cam
pus of LongNood College; Wilck's swamp
on Route Ago and Is is becoming a booming
business suburb: construction is underway
in all directions. Within the past few years
almost every storehouse on Main street has
been remodelled since the widening Of
Third street. The old gives way to the new.
Hampden-Sydney College plans addi-
tional buildings and facilities within the
next few years. The Southside Hospital has
been enlarged and renovated. A recreation
center on Longwood avenu is taking shape
with the swimming pool and the Little
Boys baseball park. The egg marketing
service is housed in a new plant near the
airport property. Changes are made so
gradually sometimes as to occur unnoticed,
but definitely progress is being made in
Farmyille.
The future is bright. 1t lies in the hands
of 4 Very fine group Of capable and ener-
getic young men and women. many Of them
natives. WHO are assuming 4 large and larg-
er part in civic, community and church af-
fairs.
The Herald has grown with the commu-
nifty. Its circulation in 1921 Of 500 in Farm
Vile and Prince Edward county, is now
over 5000 With coverage in five counties. 1t
has become a regional newspaper serving a
part Of Virginia growing steadily in i'm
portance. Its staff, is composed largely of
Young mel and women dedicated to news
paper work. interested in progress in the
various fields of community betterment.
There is a satisfaction for one after 80
years Of service to know there are those
who will continue the efforts to which we
nave been dedicated. With William 3. Wall,
~ general manager, w. Lloyd Vaughan, as
advertising manager. and John G. Steck, as
managing editor, and their staffs Of young
associates, and experienced craftsmen, our
friends and readers may be assured that
The Herald Will be in the vanguard Of pro-
gress As it comes to this area in the future.
A bit Of nostalgia, we must indulge in
sometimes - if you will but pardon Us.

Hermann Reports Road Maintenance Using Up All Highway Funds

Russell Hermann, president of the VIVA Chamber of Commerce, who has been in Juneau attend ing the meeting on State of Alas ka roads, reported at the weekly Chamber meeting on Monday that it will be difficult to participate in Federal Aid programs as the high cost of maintenance is using up the funds. He cited an example that it take S2,000 per mile to maintain blacktop roads. This meeting, he told the Chamber, was not to set up allocation of funds, but to try and coordinate master plan of road building in the State. He also talked about the south eastern ferry system, saying he was convinced that the present plan is much more feasible than one submitted last year.
 Chamber members were asked to greet the National Editorial Association members who are ar irving here Thursday evening. All persons from the States repre- sented by the group are also urged to greet the visitors and attend the breakfast Friday morning at 8 am.

TENDER when wind is blowing
South across the Sahara to con-
duct their tests, thus jeopardizing
the lives of millions Of Africans
by fallout. Hence, the vigorous
project at the United Nations and
elsewhere of the independent AT

if France must conduct an atomic
test, conduct it in France. Why
come to their country to conduct
it? The French of course, claim
the Sahara Desert as their prop

conduct the test there
Contending that the matter of
Algeria and the matter Of atomic

Nations is without jurisdiction to
