Area Counties
Compile Best
Fire Loss Records

Chief Forest Wardens from the
surrounding ten counties met at the
Farmville d is tric t headquarters
Wednesday to plan their years
activity in fire control and forestry
management.
John Graft. district forester from
Tappahannock, and Ralph Bartholo-
NEW, district forester from Ports
mouth, shared the main parts on
the day long Institutional program
Graft, formerly district forest
fire chief in Farmville, gave in
struction in the use of maps in con-
trolling forest fires. Bartholomew
spoke on fire weather and fire be-
havior.
Others commenting during the
program were George Dean, state
forester: Hunter H. Garth, chief of
forest protection; j. c. Hayes, state
forest superintendent, Ed Rodger,
chief of forestry relations: and C..
J. Witter, chief of watershed man
agement.
Fires Increased
Maynard Stoddard, district fire
chief, reported a big increase in
forest fires during 1859. I'VE had
rough spring." Stoddard com
mented, "and it was the same all
over the state"
He blamed brush burning and
smoking as the two major causes
OF forest fires. The dry spring
weather and the unusually dry sum-
mer gave sharp increase to the
number of fires started by light
ming Stoddard said. And of
course, we have had the usual num-
Der Of fires started by hunters dur
ing the fall and winter season"
Top Three Counties
Amelia, Buckingham and Cumber-
land had the best fire records of
any counties in the district
Amelia County again compiled the
best forest fire record. In 1858 two
fires broke out in Amelia and
burned only about half an acre. This
past year 1852 was much worse,
but it was still better than any
other county in the ten-county dis
trict.
Amelia had % fires but lost only
4.9 acres. This gave an average
loss per fire of l53.
Several other counties had fewer
fires, but all lost more acres. Motto
way had only 10 fires, but 81 acres
were burned.
Buckingham and Cumberland
counties both had excellent records,
beating Amelia on the lesser num-
Der Of fires. and were within one
acre of Amelia on the number of
acres lost.
Buckingham had is fires, with
35.45 acres burned and Cumberland
had only II fires, losing only IS. 10
acres.
Halifax Burns
Halifax County had the worst rec
ord for the second consecutive year.
There were 81 fires there with a
loss of 272 acres. Stoddard pointed
out that Halifax is large county.

Negro School
Opening Delayed
Until September
SOuthside Directors
Disappointed With
Lack Of Applicants

Plans to operate private schools
for Negro children in Prince Ed
ward county have been delayed I'M
til next September. The board Of
directors Of Southside Schools. Inc,
a corporation composed of white
citizens, announced Friday evening
it would not provide classroom ia
cilities until next session.
The school unit. formed in De-
cember, announced its intentions
to offer educational opportunities to
Negro children If sufficient inter-
est were shown by parents. A dead
line of January Is was set to give
the school planners adequate time
to secure facilities and teachers for
a 180-day program, beginning in
February.
However, since only one appi-
cation to attend the proposed
schools was received by that date,
efforts to establish the system have
been chartsd for a September open
ing rather than one in February
Text Of Statement
The directors of the school unit
issued the following statement at
the conclusion of a board meeting
Friday night: 1.-The board of di-
rectors of Southside Schools. Inc,
is surprised and disappointed at the
lack Of interest in and response to
its invitation to the Negro parents
to apply for admission of their
children to the schools of this
corporation. Since there has been
only one application, it is mani
testify impossible to operate an ef-
ficient private school this session.
1T is apparent that there will be
no public schools in the county
within the foreseeable future due to
the court order entered against the
Prince Edward School Board. No
other group appears to be interest
ed In providing schooling for the
Negro children, and we, as re-
sponsibile citizens of this COM
munity. deem it incumbent upon
us to assume the obligation of at
tempting to educate them.
Feeling as we do that it is
necessary and Important that all
children of this county be afforded
an opportunity to secure an edu-
cation. We are proceeding toward
our detectives and we intend to
establish detailed plans for the
operation of system of schools
throughout Prince Edward county
for the school session of 1960-61."
Details Explained
Letters were sent to parents of
all prospective Negro students in
the county, explaining details of the
opportunity offered prior to Christ
mas. An application blank was en-
closed with request that all in
terested should apply by January
IS. The directors invited inquiries
from parents on any question per-
tanning to the system planned.
Meanwhile, as the deadline ap-
preached and only one application
had been received, DR.. R. B. Har-
grove, Jr., president of the school
group, set parents of prospective
students straight on two issues.
The first issue he cleared up was
1.-The fact that many Negroes had

NUMISMATIC NOTES

to the end of George V's reign
in 1896. The reverse. however.

follows the arc of circle at
the top. A large IS" between
the words Five Cents" is next
below, and one large maple
leaf is placed under each
word. The date is along the
bottom arc.
The 1928 date is hard to
get. with the 1926 ''far s" a
close competitor. 1t is the
position Of the upper flourish
Of the 6 in the date which
determines the type; the
near s" almost touches the
right leaf; the "far s" is def

The diverse design for
George VI (1936-1952) is car
ried over from the small cent.
, inscription and all. However,
everything else that could
. happen to this coin did. The
reverse design first became a

chewing a log. This continued
until l942. The denomination,
fianked at both ends by a
small maple leaf, followed the
top arc. On straight lines
beneath the central figure
were Canada" and the date.
In the middle of 1912, a
