|P-TA Director
Urges Attendance
At Convention

ALBERTA. Oct. 10 j. r. Or
gain. Jr.. director Of the Staun-
ton River District of the Virginia
Congress of Parents Teachers
Association. today urged P-TA
units to appoint delegates to the
annual convention in Richmond
October 24-26 and pay their ex-
penses from local funds if neces-
sary, to encourage 100 per cent
attendance of at least one local
unit delegate during the COM
plete meeting period.

Convention voted to integrate the
public schools of the state; how
ever, the integrationist element
won by only one vote according
to the count sponsored by the
State Board Of Managers. Or

trate the importance in having
full delegate attendance at every

claims to be against us; but she
may be preventing Russia from
taking any fatal step. When China
gets enough atom bombs. she will
attack Russia via her back
door" if Russia should attack
Germany and our allies from her
front door," OF course. if it
were not for Chang Kai-shek and
Formosa, it would probably be
better to have Red China a mem

we must hold Formosa at all
costs.
Language Barrier
From my experience travelling
about the world, it seems as if
the United Nations should work
for one of the International Ian
guages, such as Esperanto.
This. however, is in the far-dis-
tant future and may require
World War III to bring about. An
international currency could be
instituted at any time. Such a
currency would greatly help for
eign trade and benefit every
country. This United Nations
money would have to be based
upon a gold standard, but each
nation could continue to have its
own rate Of exchange based upon
its financial stability. Rate Of ex-
change would be determined by
the demand for and the supply Of
each nations own currency. This
means that it would take more
French francs to buy this United
Nations money than it would take
G e r m a n marks or English
pounds.
Such situation could work TO-
ward world equalization Of social
and economic conditions. Without

Conscience: Central
Concern

Editor, The Farmville Herald:
Much polihco-religious litera-
ture has come my way - all Of
it by Protestant groups, and all
Of it protesting Kennedy. Thus,
l feel justified in asking: Does
Catholicism make for softenss of
heart or head toward goddess
communism, or does it not make
for keenest alertness to the many
sides of this ever-growing threat
to all we hold dear?
Desiring to spread light rather
than heat, I ask only that con-
science be our guide. What form
of government is most kindly to
conscience? Why. democracy, of
course - that most low-pressure
government which does all it can
to protect conscience from force
and fear.
And what form of government
is least kindly to conscience?
Teaching there is no God, COM
munism naturally has no con-
science. itself; how, then, expect
it to ave tender regards for the
conscience Of any man? Actu-
ally, communism is breaking
records in breaking down mems
cOnsciences whenever such suits
its purposes, by all kinds of ter
ror and torture.
This is exactly why Catholicism
is implacably opposed to COM
munism, and always will be. For,
Catholicism teaches conscience
must be respected as the very
highest part of each personality,
and that no personality can hope
to develop without freedom of
conscience. AS Bishop Sheen
says, unless conscience is free,
no man has any real freedom
whatever. Conscience demands
freedom for itself, and thus
spearheads the long struggle for
all freedoms.
Catholicism teaches that moth
ing the Church can do can save
the man who persists in acting
against conscience. Conscience is
king. It is Divinity speaking to
our hearts. In our awesome hour
Of judgment. conscience will in
form US whether we are judged
true friends Of God, or are con
demned to the "outer darkness"

A PENNY FOR THE thoughts
Of Southern governors. senators
and other office-holders as one
by one they toe. the National
Democratic Party line! Some Of
them. like Geergia's Talmadge
and Russell, do it SO unhappily
they don't even mention the
nominees name.
Is it that the gentlemen believe
Democratic victory certain and
that. for pap and patronage as
well as for seniority and chair
manships. they must be counted
with the victors? That is the
presumption.
JACK BELL, of the Associated
Press, who was at the recent
Southern Governors Conference.
says the governors agreed it is
possible for Nixon to carry II Of
the Is Southern and border
states.
THE GOVERNORS adopted
Gov. Hollings' admirable resolu-
ton for teaching the Constitution
and its principles in schools. But
apparently they failed to specify
that they meant the Constitution
Of the Fathers, not Of the New
Dealers. the one Of the 10th
Amendment and least of the
Fourteenth. The Tenth is more
than an amendment. It goes to
the history and nature Of the

treaties, or otherwise, this could
gradually result in more univer-
sal welfare legislation. wage
standards, and various other
changes which must come about
before world peace is attained.
For instance. Russia. Germany,
China. and the United States

else World War III will result in

force such equaliZations. l wish
the United Nations would start a
study of such an international
currency.
New Military War
In conclusion, I must remind
readers that even the missile will
not be the last development In
military weapons. The next step
is an accurate anti-missile which
can defend a nation against &C.
curate missile attack. The fact
that this has not yet been invent
ed may deter any nation from
starting a conflict. Then missiles
may be used containing concen-
trated poison gas or destructive
biological bacteria instead Of nu-
clear bombs. The gossip which
! hear over here is tia The scion.

an invisible source which could
be used to read or black out"
the minds Of world leaders. This
machine would be unbeatable by

source of it could not be found
before or after using. In fact, I
am told that these killing mental
rays would pass through walls Of
buildings as do radio or ~
waves today.

Double: Check

Taxes that's what runs the
government. Here in Virginia the
three cent additional tax on Gig
aretts have made people who
smoke them more careful as to
what they smoke. Several florish-
ing brands have hit a new low
in sales. The field Of brands are
being narrowed as it goes on in
choice Of what and how they
smoke.
Yet people pay ten cents per
gallon tax on gasoline without
giving apparently any thought as
to how they drive or where they
drive. The thing is folks just
never have taken time to think
about gasoline as they have
smoking I guess we should
dream a little here too.
Then the main thing is the
big unanswered question
possibly nobody asks where
does it all go after we part with
it? Did you ever stop to think
Politics and politicians we

ive-consistant people in most
everything, yet if the party nomi-

help elect the very ones who
busted the works to start with.
So whether take the loyalty

Thank You, God For
A Beautiful World

Editor of Herald:
I want to share with you an
unusual experience had while
flying out to Seattle. Washing
ton. to visit my son, Gale. and
his family. We were flying over
Lake Michigan when suddenly
the pilot Of the plane said over
the loudspeaker, Look to the
left Of the moon and you will
see Satellite Ethel" It was as
plainly visible as the milky way
seen on clear night. I had
never hoped to see again such
a marvellous sight. To be 50 high
in the sky as to be able to see
smoky blue cumulous clouds
spread out in foaming oceans Of
whiteness: the colorful sunset in
varying shades Of red. pink, all
the rainbow tints; the blood-red
sun ever evading our persistent
rushing after it; the moon
slightly to our backward left. and
Ethel" revealed in all her
glory! Below all this beauty, the
waters Of Lake Michigan. It was
indeed a feast for my tired old
eyes.
Once before in my youth. had
watched from the deck of q ship
a marvellous sunset on the Pa
cific Ocean when the full moon
was in the sky just as the sun
was setting. So many times that
memory has frightened some
weary sick hour.
To have had two such expert
ences in a lifetime is truly glori-

Faith Peace
Weapon

Today in our United States we
must be ever on the alert to the
many dangers depressing us and
our democratic government. We
are fighting two wars in the
United States, not with weapons,
but we must fight. The two wars
are materialism and communism
We may destroy our bodies, we
may endanger our souls. by let
ting these two evils seep into our
civilization.
We do not want an I'm unjust
leader but we want God as our
highest authority or just leader
Our faith In God is our precious
treasure. Let's guard it closely
Communism is a dictatorship
type Of government which regu-
lates social, economic, cultural,
also tries to regulate religious
activities. and tries to achieve a
classics society.
We Amer icans have
enough backbone not to let
anyone stop us from attending
our church, praying our prayers,
treating our neighbor as our
selves. We also know charity
covereth multitude of sins. All
those who believe in a corrupt
way of life are plotted out from
the rest and put behind bars.
Stop and think, didn't God bless
our nation all these years be-
cause we believe in the just way
of life for everyone?
We can defeat communism
with faith. We can defeat ma
terialism by practicing our faith.
Let's all use faith as our peace
weapon.

active committees with appropri-

New Cars Feature Compacts

ALTHOUGH final comment cannot
be made on the new cars, for 1861,
there are several interesting develop
ments which are already apparent
For one thing, the emphasis is swing
ing more and more to the small car.
New small cars are being added, and
one of the new models, the 1861 Pontiac
Tempest, has the first 4-cylinder engine
produced in this country in seven years.
This particular car also has the trans
axle, which combines the front with the
rear end transmission.
In addition to this, new small cars
from both Ford and Chrysler are
making their appearances. A new Buick
Special is making it's appearance, as
we'll as other new General Motors COM
pacts.
It would certainly appear, from the
look of the new compacts, that the small
car is here to stay. In fact, 1861 brings
. the first crop of American-made COM
