The Buckingham County Board
of Supervisors during its regular
monthly session May A adopted a
resolution calling for construction OF
a new bridge at once to replace the
present structure which spans the
James River on Route 20 ear
S~cottsville.
Copies of the resolution. which
cites the status Of the present
bridge as we'll as the urgent need
fol a rev one. we're forwarded to
the chairman of the State Highway
Commission in Richmond. and to
the chairmen Of the boards in near
BY Fluvanna and Albemarle coun-
ties. Copies Of the resolution were
also forwarded to Tucker G. Wat
kins. Jr.. at Halifax: G. Wallace
Casper at Mclean: and Senator
Charles T. Moses at Appomattox.
Present Conditions
The resolution cited the fact that
the Buckingham board was well
aware of the condition of'the bridge.
and was equally aware of the inn
portance Of the North and South
traffic to the counties Of Bucking-
ham. Albemarle and Fluvanna. the
travelling public and the truck traf-
fic.
In Calling for construction Of a
bridge sllitRble for such traffic as
uses the highway. the board reso-
luton called attention to the fact
that the present load limit is II
tons. 1t cited further that the limit
was recently as low as five tons.
The limit has been at 10 tons
most Of the time. The supervisors
contend the limit is SO low. traffic
is thereby seriously retarded since
no load of any size is permitted.
The lowering Of the bridge ton
mage to five tons occurred in Oc-
tobeI, and prompted a quick reso-
luton to the State Highway De
pastment by the Board of Super
visors. The resolution asked that
something be done Immediately to
remedy the situation and make the
bridge available for higher than
five tors weight. AT that time a re-
quest was made that a new bridge
be constructed as oon as possible.
Previous Action
On the same day the resolution
was adopted by the supervisors. the
ten ton limit was restored. S. D.
MAY. Commissioner of the State De
rartment Of Highways, cleared the
matter up in a letter to John c.
Spencer. county clerk, in which he
reported that examination Of the
bridge by highway department engl-
neers revealed that it was deficient

In God Seen
ByGruhum

NEW YORK, June 80 tAP).-
Evangelist Billy Graham said
today that ''in spite Of the fact
that the Communist Party is
avowedly militantly atheistic,
they have not been able to
stamp out belief in God" In
Russia.
The Montreal, N. c.. preacher
returned today on the liner
United States from a six-month
tour which took him to Russia
and Australia.
He said "he went TO a num-
Der Of services in (Russian)
churches and ! estimate that at
least one-fifth Of the audience
were teen-agers."
Mr.. Graham said that only
g per cent Of the Russian peo-
pie belong to the Communist
Party. For this reason. he con-
tinued, "a distinction should
always be made between the
Russian people and the Com
munist Party which controls
the country"
He said that although he
spent only a week in Russia
I'T was there long enough to
hope and pray communism
never controls the United
States"
The evangelist was among
the 1868 passengers aboard the
liner He was greeted by more
than 200 persons assembled
behind a banner which pro-
claimed. Christ lives. Trust
Him"
Mr.. Graham said he would

fore returning to his home fol
