New Sanatarlan
DR.. Clements announced that
John w. Grafton. of Appomattox,
is the new sanatarian, replacing
D. 0. Hart. He will work half
time in Prince Edward and half
time in A p p O. a t 0 county
Since a part time sanatarian re-
places full time one, Dr..
Clements said that the county's
portion of the cost of the health
office will be reduced from $5,773
to S4,965.
The Town Of Farmville, which
contributes about IA per cent of
the expenses of the department,
will appropriate the balance Of
the total department cost of
$5.773 for the new fiscal year, or
S808, DR.. Clements pointed out.
Hart, the former sanatarian. is
now employed in similar county
work in California. DR.. Clements
said the part time arrangement
for a sanatarian in the county is
on temporary basis.
The board objected primarily
to mandatory provisions of the
new welfare standards, which
provide small overall increases
in most Categories. The board
adopted a resolution asking the
State Welfare Board, which for
mulated the standards. to give
further consideration to abate-
ment Of mandatory provisions.
Welfare Views
Prince Edward county's share
Of the federal-state- local welfare
program for the l96O-61 fiscal
year will be SIG. S39. For the past
year, the county's share was
Sl8,l22.
The standards will be effective
for all new welfare cases from
August l on. Existing cases will
be supplemented into the new
standards by next January /.
Mrs. Frances G. Moon, county
welfare director. said Wednes-
day about the new regulations
that "the county has a very rea-
listic,y modest budget. We're a
conservative county. and l intend
to keep it that way"
She pointed out that recent
changes in INDECENT hospitaliza-
ton procedures will reduce the
countys cost of this phase of the
welfare program, offsetting some
Of the other increases.
Our people can be assured
the Welfare Department is ex-
tremely careful in it's admins
tration Of the program, and we
count every resource recipients
possess in adjusting grants"
Mrs. Moon said.
Supervisors endorsed a similar
resolution by Albemarle super
visors which declared that in
creases in grants and decreases
by responsible relatives tend to
reduce individual initiative and
responsibility.

offender for more than 10 days, although
they felt he deserved a sitter sentence.
For example, two recent cases involved
unlicensed drivers who endangered pub
lie safety. The maximum sentence for
using another drivers permit is 10 days.
The judges would raise the maximum to
80, with discretion left to the court as
to how heavy the penalty under 90 days
should be.
Legislation would be required to give
the Commissioners authority to raise the
maximum penalty for this, as well as
other offenses for which the code speci-
fies no maximum higher than $40.
Sterner penalties are warranted by
the increasing gravity of the accident
toll here and elsewhere. And the will

police and prosecutors in a combined
effort to make the streets safer is COM

for only 10 days in jail or a fine.
Under the District Code, long Jail
terms may be handed out to drunken

other types of fragrant violators of the
traffic laws. But the judges have found
that in some other cases, involving seri-

Putting the Moon to Work

Romanticists have sung of the lazy
old moon, lolling around in the sky with
nothing to do but smile on lovers and
keep the tides on schedule. Now, how
ever, the Navy has decided to give the
earth'S lunar satellite an official job to
do. The moon has been enlisted as an
electronic relay station, to reflect back
to earth radio signals sent by powerful
transmitterS. In demonstration of the
new communications system the Navy
sent messages to Hawaii and received
back both written dispatches and pho
tographS of an aircraft carrier cruising
in the Pacific. Why bother with man
made satellites for relay work when the
moon is ready, willing and able to serve?
OF course, closer-in artificial
satellite might reflect signals that are
louder and clearer than those from the
faraway moon. But the moon already
is up there in the sky and will continue
to be there ndefinitely-unleSS man in
advertently or deliberately destroys it
with nuclear-noSed missile. And the
transmissions so far recorded have been
relatively loud and clear, enough so that
the Navy has invested $5.5 million in
special equipment for regular lunar
relay communication with distant units
of the fleet.
One advantage of the boomerang"
system, it is said, is that the transmits
SionS are not subject to interference by
solar storms" of the sort which oc-
caSionally interrupt other communica-
tionS. The ultra-high frequency radio
waves go to their target almost instantly
and are bounced back to any spot on
the earth where the moon is visible.
Since Photographic transmission
is possible with this method, the next
step would seem to be television over
great distances via the. moon relay sta
ton. And when men finally set up a
colony on the moon, they can be assured
of receiving their favorite TV Western
commercials and all.

RoodbIock Ahead?

One of the SillieSt instances of inter-
agency confusion in some time is the
miXup over how much clearance is
needed under bridges spanning the new
Federal system of interstate and defense
highways. The Defense Department, ac-
cording to Representative Blatnik, DEM
ocrat of Minnesota, whose House sub
committee has begun investigating the
matter, has taken 212 years to advise
the Bureau of Public Roads that a
16-foot clearance is essential to permit
the transport of missiles, equipment car
riers and other military vehicles. In
the meantime, Mr.. Blatnik says, several
thousand new bridges have been built
over the freeways during the last few
years, most of them with clearanceS Of
IA and IS feet.
The picture this conjures up-espe-
cially if the defense needs are as critical
as Mr.. Blatnik claimS-is intriguing.
How will the military move on the free
ways created partly for its benefit? How,
In fact, has it moved up to now? Will
huge missiles of the future be removed
from carriers every few miles and some
how jockeyed through the openings?
Will the bridges be raised? Will the
roads be lowered?
We don't know the answers, and Mr.
Blatnik says he doesn't either. He does
report, however, that estimates of the
total cost of meeting the new Defense
Department requirements may range up
to SIT billion-and that's lot of money
for program which already has suf-
fered a severe cutback because of a
shortage of funds.

Protestant View

In a recent article Ralph
McGill seemed puzzled that
Alabamians could honor a
Catholic as a person but not
put one in the White House.
He called this paradoXical
behavior a bigoted, election
year stubbornness carried out
in half ashamed silence. The
truth lies in the fact that
whether in Alabama or any
other section of the country
outside big metropolitan
areas, the climate of opinion
remains. in early American
tradition, strongly Protestant.
Protestants, as Christians,
know to give honor to whom
honor is due regardless Of
religion. A Catholic individ-
ual of personal integrity and
popularity, may be recognized
as an asset to a community.
However, to elect a likeable
Catholic to high public Office
is another thing altogether.
That same person when given
public authority yields either
consciously or unconsciously
to church pressure to use his
position to further the Cath
olic System-sometimes to
the detriment of non-Catho-
lies. Protestants, aware of
this as a historical fact.
many from personal expert
ence. are not yet ready to
turn over to a Catholic the
highest public Office in the
land. Ray A. billiard,

Much More Than 'Vexinq'

President Eisenhower erred on the
side of underStatement when he said
that the farm situation is our most
vexing domestic problem" It is much
more than that. 1t is problem which
has assumed nightmarish proportions,
and which is threatening our agricul-
tural economy.
Even so, it does not necessarily fol-
low that anything will be done this year
to ease the problem. The effect of Mr..
Eisenhower'S latest message is to toss
very hot potato to the Democratic
Congress. AS the President put it, "the
American people have every right to
expect the Congress to move promptly
to solve situations of this kind" In
this election year, however, it is most
unlikely that the Congress will move
promptly. For one thing, the problem
is not susceptible of any quick solution.
For another, the Democrats this year
may very well prefer farm tissue" to
a solution of the farm problem.
Still, as one looks at the mounting
agricultural surpluSeS, especially wheat,
the day of reckoning obviously cannot
be postponed indefinitely The wheat
program alone is costing the Govern
ment-and this means Mr. and Mrs.
Taxpayer-$1, 100000 every day of the
year. Furthermore, the mounting sur
pluSeS, under the existing program, are
defeating the avowed purpose of the
program itSelf-to aid the farmers. The
President, we think, was fully justified
in saying that it "defieS common sense
to continue to encourage, at the cost
of many millions of tax dollars, the
building of ever-larger excess supplies
of products that, as they accumulate,
depress farm prices and endanger the
future of our farmers"
Undoubtedly, as Mr.. Eisenhower
says, this defieS common sense. But
common sense is bound to have rough
shedding in any year in which the presi-
dency, the vice presidency, one-third of
the Senate and all of the House seats
are at stake. At best, we doubt that
anything that is politically courageous
and constructive will be done about the
farm problem before 1861.
