SteeIers' Fortunes Give
Parker Worried Look

Defense is supposed to be
,he Steelers' weakness, but the
ohense may be blamed for at
least two losses. They were q
foot away from a touchdown
and couldn't make it in their
1920 loss to Cleveland, and q
yard away from q FIRST down
which would have enabled
them to run out the clock
against the Giants. The re-
doubtable Tom Tracy missed
the first down-was thrown for
q six-yard loss-and Charlie
Conerly threw q last.minute
pass to Frank Clifford to give
New York q 1917 victory.
Tracy figures to be in the
Redskins hair all afternoon
The animated fireplug not only
carries the ball often and
vigorously for the Steelers, but
gives it the heave-ho with
gusto. Some scouts rate him
tougher to bring down than
the Giants graceful Clifford
because Toms built so low to
the ground and has speed to
burn.
You'd think q guy with his
build t5-10, 205 pounds) would
give you trouble on short
yardage plays into the line, ,"
one scout recently said. But
he kills you out in the open
with his speed. He can really
turn it on"
Tracy Triple Threat
Tracy, cne-time Tennessee
halfback who began his Pre-
career with Detroit, also is one
Of Layne's top pass-receivers
which makes him-as a runner
passer and receiver triple
threaten.
John Henry Johnson, q
temperamental fullback, looked
good against the Giants and
there are indications that he's
back to his rookie form OF
seven years ago. johnson was
drafted No. 2 by Pittsburgh in
1858 but was traded to San
Francisco the following season
Traded to Detroit in 1857, he
came back to the Steelers in
an off-season deal this year.
This is only part of the
Steeler outfit. They aren't do.
ing as well as their fans ex-
pected, but they may do toe
well for the Redskins. The

them as 5-point choices.

Letters ToEditor
Tournament Held
Fine Sportsmanship

Editor of Herald:
On behalf of the Clarksville
Little Boys League baseball
team. 1 should like to express
our appreciation for the fine re-
ception and treatment we re-
ceived in the Virginia tourna-
ment last week. Our thanks are
accorded to all who had any
part in conducting the tourna-
ment, as well as to the umpires
and opposing players. Everyone
conducted themselves in accord
ance with the highest type of
craftsmanship.
We should like to compliment
you on the splendid facilities you
have, which certainly speaks
well for the splendid spirit you
have in your community. Our
greatest hope is that we m y
have the opportunity to partici-
pate in another tournament in
your community in the not-too-
distant future.
In closing, may we wish the
Farmville Little Boys League
team success in their series with
the Tennessee representative
and in the tournament at South
Boston.

Vote For President
Not For The Man

Editor, Farmville Herald:
It is the duty Of every one to
inform him or herself on ma
tional affairs and then, after
c A R E F U L consideration, to
vote for the next president Of
the United States.
If you vote for Kennedy, you
will be voting the way t h e
NAACP wants you to vote, the
way Walter Ruether and h S
labor unions want you to vote,
the way the Pope in r 0 m e
wants you to vote, the way
Khrushev wants you to vote.
You will be voting for more in
flation and depreciation of your
savings and life insurance. You
will be voting against every
thing the old Democratic party
has stood for. You will be dis
honoring your forefathers who
were TRUE Democrats. An d
too. you will be voting the way
our great" Governor Almond
wants you to vote.
If this crowd, appeals to you
and you are without pride and
care not for the welfare of your
country, you should then cast
your vote for Kennedy.
As for myself, I am against
Kennedy and the things he ad-
vocateS and shall therefore cast
my vote for Richard Nixon,
along with the majority of our
more intelligent and best in
formed citizens. will vote for
this man because l am con-
vinced he is the best qualified
man to be president Of our
country at this time and be-
cause the party he heads is the
more conservative and will best
serve the welfare of our coun-
try. He is by far the best ex-
perienced man to deal with
Khruschev and handle our deal
ingS with other nations.
Bear in mind that when you
vote. you are not voting for
man, but for the next president
Of the United States and for
what his party stands for.

SOME OBJECT. ALSO, to fri
volity here, attempts to enter

more even if an immortal
thought on states rights is
crowded out. Some sheer at the
romance, object to the religiosity,
find nothing funny in the humor,
deem the mystery silly. the
Jokes questionable or lame.
Some take the "romp in writ
ing" seriously enough to say
that's no way to write.

There's some sort of quirk in my
brain after all these years. And
there are the alterations that
sneak in = the inside jobs. For
example. "foolishness and pro-
flhdity' in the paragraph above.
1t seemed all right when I wrote
it. but now I see there is a pre-
dominant If" sound. And in this
paragraph the "all right when
wrote it. is literally sinking
with the inner ALTERATION which
is just as offensive as the other
to enemies of the thing.
IN SELF-PITY, because Of
those who don't appreciate my
quotes and capers, I'm going to
pay myself a little payola today
with a few lines from a we'll
known reader who won't let his

Don't leave off the romance. the
religion, the mystery. Those are

there with tears flowing
There were also those tears Of
the Senator's glorious" daugh-
ter. jeanne. When women of such
spiritual maturity weep the tears
are like waters stilled at even

full.
But Pegs remarks about the
Senator himself as "faltering" in

said his Munich bon mot" plus
Pegs irrelevant crack at Taft as
not having had nearly so great
a following as was claimed indi-
cate more appreciation than
comprehension Of this admittedly
history making emergence Of
Goldwater at Chicago.
It was his compromise and,
even more, the reasons he gave
for it that made him so emer-
gent. For he told all 100 per-
centers then and there that Con-
ServatiSm can't take this country
unless it goes along with other
Constituencies. He accepted
the Republican platform and
promised to fight for it because
it was the only way of turning
back now the socialist tide under
Kennedy and Chester Bowles.
in OTHER WORDS. BARRY
Goldwater refused to be a lost
cause. So must the South, which
is kin to him in so much, refuse.
He proposed to fight again an
other day W. as the South must
propose ~ and he announced the

ALL THAT S EPA r A T E S
Barry Goldwater from the South
at this moment is the Peculiar
Problem. He is against segrega-
ton. But he is even more against
unconstitutional federal force.
That was Taft's position. It let
Taft vote with us always on civil
rights measures. as it can let

his banner now.

James A. Bone of my city has!:
If Mr.. Graves gave the auth

But SO many of the quotes are
snatches from old songs or
verses whose authors / can't re-

just left-overs in my head-From

Others are too familiar to need

THOSE WHO COMPLAIN may
be surprised to know that some
of my soulless managing editors
think there should be no poetry

there IS an unrest, among the minority
to be sure, but even a small number,
vocal and aggressive have profoundly
influenced a majority. For example,
the riots in Japan, which embarrassed
our nation and our President, the riots
in Korea, which overturned a. govern
ment, riots in Venezuela, etc. 1t is
significant that these riots have come
in nations Of the "free" world. Such
movements behind the iron curtain are

A Fateful August

A UGUST 1860 are fateful days.
Russia is prOpagandizing the world
with threats of wars which no one wants,
even Russia. There is little new about
that. 1t is all according to plan = Com
munist plan, beginning with Lenin and
Marx, who evolved strange govern
mental philosophy of materialism, god
lessness, and slavery The philosophy
was put into use by Russia, following
the Russian revolution, through the
Bolshevic phase, the commune phase,
and now it envelopes the world. With
cool, calculating preciseness and meas
ured, fore-planned steps nearly half of
the population of the world has come
under the domination of Communism.
Freedom of the individual is no more
in half Of this world today. No person,
no nation, no group of nations can avoid
the pressures Of world-seeking COM
munism, the goddess philosophy which
thrives on dissension, hate, enmity,
hostility, and chos Through conspiracy,
intrigue, chicanery, sublety, and satanic
cunning people and nations have fallen
to communist propaganda.

we exhibited sense Of political naivety
in this case. ~
In the case of the Republic of the
Congo, the Belgian government was
probably wrong in assuming that the
natives were ready to establish democ-
racy and demonstrate the respon
sibility which is required to make a
democracy work
People can be given too much free
dom, and too much responsibility, be-
fore they are ready for the intelligent
exercise Of the powers and rights grant
ed them
And sometimes it is better for a race
which has demonstrated leadership and
achievement in the field of democratic
government to lead and supervise back
ward peoples - rather than to grant
them immediate independence, before
inhabitants are capable of exercising,
cherishing and protecting it.
