Friends Raise Fund
Cannon's arrest came as a
shocking surprise to his friends
in the Woodbridge Occoquan
area, Trooper Hoskins said.
Many Of them rallied to his de-
tense and started raising money
there to provide legal defense
for him.
Cannon, a native of Black

judgeship by the county bar
association last month.
The bar recommended for
appointment to the 19,500-a-
year post Ralph G. Shure,
Clitus o. Bordeaux and DON

The recommendations Gre

Virginia to Turn Over
eocher as Fugitive

California authorities were
en- route to Manassas, Va, to-
day to pick up the son of the
late Methodist Bishop James
N. Cannon, jr., held in the
Prince William County Jail as
a fugitive from four felony
warrants and for parole viola
ton.
The man is Richard Mason
Cannon, 60, who has been a
third-grade teacher at the Oc-
coquan Elementary School
since February and who won
numerous friends after coming
to Prince William County at
that time from Arkansas, po-
lice reported.
He was arrested late Satur-
day night after a vice president
of the Bank of Occoquan re-
ported to State police Cannon's
resemblance to a wanted man
pictured on a 1857 circular of
the American Bankers Protec-
tive Association.
Held Under $4,000 Bond
Cannon readily admitted he
was the man, police said. He
is being held under $4,000
bond.
An extradition hearing had
been scheduled for today in
Manassas, but State Trooper
Ray E. Hoskins said that won't
be necessary now because Cam
non violated his parole from
San Quentin prison in Cali
fornia.
He said the four warrants
accuse Cannon of automobile
larceny and three counts of
passing worthless checks. He
said the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation also has entered the
picture because of possible Fed
eral violations. Cannon. the
trooper added, also is wanted
for passing worthless checks in

Shutting Opposed
The board also heard OBJ
jections to a plan for shutting

year between Wakefield High
School and the old Dolly

Shirley highway. p
Under the arrangement. half
the group will take lab courses
at the high school while the
other half is attending classes

and they will be switched by

The Directing parents live
in the Williamsburg section Of
North Arlington and the two
schools involved are in the
south section. Supt. Reid said
the arrangement is necessary
because OF crowded conditions
at the county's high schools.

Mr.. Broyhill said he also I'M

Proposals Outlined
Mr.. Johnston gave this out
line of the city's proposals:
The city would furnish water
to the authority from an ex-
listing 20-inch main on Dale
drive. just south of Route Z.
The price of the water at
that point would be 1914 cents
per 1000 gallons. based on a
price of 10 cents from the
Dalecarlia Reservoir in the
District.
Any increase in the cost of
water from Dalecarlia or de-
crease in the average annual
use by the authority would
mean a boost in the cost Of
the water.

wanted within its own service

board.
Supt. Ray Reid told the board
he believes a compulsory at

public school system" but he
said the one available TO the
localities has 80 many loopholes
that 1T is about the nearest to
no attendance law that you

Request Frees Child
He pointed out that any
parent who does not want to
send his child TO school mere

the law.
Mr.. Reid said that lack Of
an attendance law has had
little effect so far in Arlington,
and that adoption Of the
watered-down version might
create administration problems
that would outweigh whatever
advantages 1t might have.
On his recommendation, the
board deferred action until Mr..

Will be built.
The lands, however. must have
some equivalent of water. but this
will be synthetic water. l am
certain of this after my few weeks
spent in New Mexico and Arizona
from which states l have Just re-
turned. There you can buy mo
rain land for $40 an acre: but
to have it irrigated if that
is possible Will cost you over 500
per acre.
How Water May Be Manufactured
Those Of US who have studied
chemistry know that water con
slsts OF two elements. hydrogen and
oxygen. In the chemical laboratory
we were taught how to decompose
water into these two gases of n.y.
drogen and oxygen. in fact. this is
now being done in commercial
way by means of beam of light.
| remember, however. that it was
to reverse the process.
It created much heat and some
times an explosion. This is rough,
is the process which will take the
place of present systems of irriga-
ton, but it will be greatly simpli-
lied and costs cut. This new pro-
cess can be used for all land, how
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1959-07-14

ever far away from water it may
be in this country or in any part
OF the entire world.
Oxygen gas can now be secured
quite cheaply, but hydrogen gas is
expensive and tricky. We may need
a trigger to combine the two
but this will not long be true. More
over. am convinced that it will
soon be easy to buy diluted hydro
gen gas which will work with oxy-
gen. This will be shipped directly to
the farmer and he will make the
mixture in his furroW. Furthermore
he will want a limited explosion
so as to loosen the earth before he
plants his seeds.
How These Gases Will Be Applied
The no rain" farmer. after plow
ing and leveling the land will disk
or harrow it preparatory to plant
ing his seed The disking machine
which he rides will carry two
tanks, one containing the hydrogen
and one containing oxygen, both
under pressure. These gases will be
led in very small tubes to be ap-
Piled to the ground directly after
the disk or the narrowing machine
passes. If all goes well, after or &C
companying a small explosion, the
