would have fallen to the car overs.
1t is impossible to remove snow or
clean the streets properly when the
streets are used for garages by the
people in the residential sections. Pro-
perty overs should be required to pro-
vide off street parking, the streets
should widened, or the property overs
should stop fussing with the sanitation
department about snow removal and
cleaning.
Our suggestion is that the street
cleaning department wash down the
streets at the first opportunity to re-
move the accumulation left by the re-
cent SHOWS. The spring rains will help
in the residential areas.

NO COMMENT
BY JAMES W. DOUTHAT

WASHINGTON, Mar. is - A
tug of-war of more than ordinary
significance is going on in Con-
eress between the conservatives
and the New Dealers.
The New Dealers are pushing
a crash program to speed action
on their pet legislation calling
for big spending and more re-
strictlons on industry.
Conservatives are opposing
such legislation and arguing
vigorously that it would be dam
gerous to act on it without care
full consideration.
The reason for the crash pro-
gram is this: the civil rights
debate delayed congressional ac-
ton on some of the New Deal
legislative proposals. and every
one is hoping that Congress will
adjourn in time for the July II
meeting of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention in Los Angeles
Thus. the time remaining for
action is much less than it was
last year when Congress did not
adjourn until Sept Is.
Conservatives are fearful that,
in such situation, ill-adyisea
legislation might be approved
without adequate consideration
They are doing everything pos
Sible to avoid hasty action = ard
to assure that opponents have an
opportunity to expire their
views.
Here is some Of the legislation
involved in the tugofwar:
l. Pointing up the battle be-
tween the economy forces and
the big spenders. the House
Banking Committee approved a
measure to provide a 81 billion
special assistance emergency
fund to aid the housing industry
Nine committee memberS-all
Republicans condemned the
proposal on the ground that there
is no emergency and the spend
ing would be fiscally irresponsi-
BILE.
There simply is no emer-
gency," they asserted. Last
year our economy and the well
being Of our people moved to
new highs. Virtually all compe-
tent observers agree that this
year will be even better. And
yet under this bill. billion dol
lar back-door raid would be
made on the Treasury for the

vention Southerners may have to swal-
low their convictions and choose the
better of the evils. For too, long the
South had been forced to support with
out enthusiasm candidates unaccepta-
BILE and unpalatable to them. About the
only hope is to send to Congress the
best Democratic statesmen possibly and
trust to their ability and persua-
sion for coalition with the Re-
publican conservative counterparts to
act in saving this great nation from the
liberals, radicals, ETC., which seem to
be in control of both parties.
The South will remain Democratic
statewide because the best qualified
candidates are Democrats. After all,
the Democratic party is the party Of
the South, born, supported and nur-
tured by the South. In the upcoming
election there will be no choice, except
between the Democratic nominees and
the Republican nominees, neither &C
ceptable to the average Southern voter

Babson Discusses Summer Resort Property

BABSON PARK, MASS, Mar
II - 1t may seem strange to
readers of my column to see
this subject when New England,
Northern New York, Michigan,
and other summer resorts are
buried in two feet of snow. l,
however, have definite reasons,
as shown below, for writing
under these wintry conditions.
Time To Buy Summer Property
Most people who are looking
for a summer cottage, especi-
ally for a place to spend July
and August. wait until a hot day
in June before looking around for
a cool spot. This is the height of
folly, as such property is always
in greatest demand and sells at
the highest price in June or July.
The bargains always occur in
March or April. and this will be
especially true this year.
1t also should be remembered
that all classes of workers are
getting longer vacations, longer
week ends. and more time for
recreation generally. In addition,
the population Of the country is
constantly increasing. as is also
peoples income. l have already
commented that land is the best
hedge against initiation. Ger
tainly, modest summer home
should be better investment
than a second car" It could
even be place of refuge in case
of World War Ill.

men with maps and photographs
should be treated courteously
but one should never buy a sum-

without first visiting the prop
erty. This is important in order
to acquaint ones self not only
with the land, elevation, etc., but
also with the neighbors. In
creaseS in property values de-
pend largely upon the neighbors.

reader desiring a summer or
winter home has an automobile;
but in addition, it is a good idea
to be fairly near a bus route. If
one bomb should be dropped
accidentally on a Russian or
American city by some psychotic
aviator. it would be almost i'm
possible for the average citizen
not employed in defense work to
get any gasoline. The govern

John Temple Grsves
First And Great Commandment

Master, which is the great
commandment in the law?"
Matthew 1886
AS the Lenten season comes
to midway may it somehow re-
cover for the millions who have
been called to Christ in post
war years the beauty. mystery
and love which called them and
which is so dreadfully compro-
missed with charges of COM
mumsm in certain pulpits and
this constant mixing Of church
and state by the vast National
Council of Churches.
The first and great COM
mandment," said Jesus. is that
thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart. and with
all thy soul. and with all thy
mind"
Compared with lall the flour
ish and fervor put into this COM
nlandment. the second was al
most an anti-climax, an after
thought: And the second is like
unto it. Thou shalt love they
neighbor as myself" 1t was an
order to be Social-minded. hui
manitarian, to do good. But the
first and great order was to love
the Lord thy God.
TOO MANY MEN OF GOD
reverse the orders now. and
even leave the first one out.
Their religion has come to be
a matter of doing good, with
the great matter of God Al
mighty. transcendent, omnipo-
tent. omniscient. all love, mys-
cry, wonder of and alteration,
left out or given only lip ser
vice.
That is what could be the
matter with church architecture
it seems to me.
That is what could be letting
communism into churches and
persuading the National Council
to mix church and state like no
body else.
If there's communism as
many are saying it can come
of getting the New Command
ment in such reverse that the
more important first part is for
gotten altogether, the first part
for loving the Lord thy God
in favor of the more and more.
absorbing second part for low
ing thy neighbor, which is to
say for social-mindedness. doing
good, humanitarianism.
That could explain not only
communism in the churches but
anarchy in church architecture.
Doing good without really be-
lieving in God or without be-
lieving God is infinitely more
than doing goods all that is
left of religion in many peoples
concepts today, including that
of many ministers of God. They
60 through the old motions but
only Social-mindedness counts.
From that it is no great dis
lance to sociaism-and a So
cialist is only a communist who
doesn't know the facts of life,
who thinks you can have liberty
and freedom and democracy and
a spiritual life with it when you
cart.
When you see a new church
which is a million miles from

senlbling or suggesting God AL
mighty, you can well suspect

natural properly drained front
age on the ocean or on lakes or

and in some other places, arti-
fetal water frontage is being
made by pumping out adjoining
sand, yet this amount is infini-
tesimal, considering the water
front already available. Even If
you feel unable now to buy or
build a summer home, you might
well buy some land If it is
properly located. In the mean
time, your children should be
taught to fish and swim.
Although I personally prefer
Cape Ann, Massachusetts,, as the
finest spot in the nation for a
summer home, yet I realize that
many people feel better on noun
tain land in the summertime.
This especially applies to those
with asthmatic tendencies or
chronic coughs. Pine and spruce
woodland is very agreeable to
many. Such land Is gradually in
creasing in price as the trees
grow. When purchasing any kind
of land for a summer place, be
sure to have electricity and tele-
phone connections. Good, pure
water can always be secured by
drilling a well. Such wells should
be free from contamination, and
should be safe from fallout in
the event Of atomic war. Some
civil defense authorities claim
that woodland partially protects

Snow Removal

REGARDLESS Of the criticism in some
quarters of the methods used in
Farmville to keep streets open after
the unprecedented series Of March
SHOWS, we think the street department
did an exceptionally good job.
Snow was removed from the main
business streets by leaders and trucks
at considerable cost. Some inconveni-
ence was to be expected. In this area
the snow was piled to the center, giving
two free lanes, and allowing the melted
snow to run off through the drainage
system. When conditions permitted, the
center accumulation was hauled Off
All was cleared within two or three
days.
In the residential sections plows
threw the snow to the sides wherever
possible Some streets were not touched

Lost Opportunity

I1RGIN1ANS lost an opportunity to
have a selection on the ballot in the
appointing national election. The bill
proposing Independent electors was
killed in the rush of the last few days.
Had the bill passed those voters in Vir-
ginia who wished to record their dis
satisfaction with the manner in which
Virginia and the South have been treat
ed by Paul Butler executive secetary of
the National Democratic Party, and
for that matter the entire tone of the
National Democratic Party in it's deal
ings with the South, would have had
that opportunity.
Maybe not being politically wise, we
regret this action of the Virginia leg
islature. Just what will happen at the
Democratic National convention is. of
course, difficult to foretell, but it can
be predicted fairly certain that the
National Party chefs must change in
their present attitudes toward the
South in order to make the Southern
