the Community Bible Class Of
the Deaf in Farmville Baptist
Church during the summer OF
1888. They provided many deaf
persons their first opportunity
to attend a Bible Class since
departure from school.
During the summer of l949,
the class was transferred to the
victoria Baptist Church because
more deaf people lived in thai
area, and it was too far for
them to go to classes in Rich

During the summer Of 1852
the Bible Glass was transferred

The class, which now meets
monthly, draws persons from an
area of IS to 100 miles, accord
ing to Bass. In attendance Sun
day were deaf persons from
Staunton, Lynchburg, Danville,
and other places as far away
as North Carolina.
The annual picnic followed the
service. There was firm hand
ciasplng of friends, laughter,
and conversation-plus in the
sign language after the service.
Most religious services inspire
a person at some point of the

The initial action began with Chief

Both girls scored very well in all

ambition. Only as the proper en-
vironment, income, and demand
rise along with the growth in pop
ulation do the greater numbers of
people assure prosperity.
On the other hand, if initiative
is stified by unfair taxes or gov
ernment "giveaway" social prac-
tices or poor health, then capital
formation, employment, incomes,
and consumption will lag the rise
in population. In that event, the
growth trend in population, now
considered to be bullish for the fu-
ture, may work as a depressing
influence.
A WORD TO PARENTS
What does the above mean to
parents of growing children today?
1t means that parents of all ma
tions must devote attention to
helping their children prepare for
their future Not only does this
mean providing them with book
learning" but also taking care
that they acquire the fundamental
habits of perseverance, industry,
and thrift.
In addition, parents must above
all see to il that their children
develop good character, good
health, and a sane faith. These
three things. more than anything
else, will enable children to deal
successfully with the problems in
their future. In short, if their chill
dren possess CHARACT Err,
HEALTH, and a SANE FAITH
they will be rich. Otherwise. they
will be poor.

Dear Friends:
This has been quiet week for
us. I suppose since it is the end
of the summer our vim and vigor
has subsided and now we're coast
ing with fall right around the cor
ner. It's time to concentrate on
preparations for school.
School here begins early. Not
only must / organize the children's 5
clothes-wash'. iron, take up hens
and let them down. but before the
school doors open for the fall ses-
sion in Kansas we must buy the
ehildren's books. Not just a math
or an English book, etc, but die
tionaries, pens. pencils and even
scratch pads. This year Dawn will
be in the fifth grade and Lynne
enters the eighth.
I received a first for my column
this past week. A letter from a
governors wife. Mrs. George
Docking had received a copy of my
column Q suppose Mrs. Jim Dep
uty forwarded one to herr about my
tour through the mansion and she
sent me such a nice note thanking
me for my kind words" How nice
of her to take the time.

up in the demand for such Jobs,
and the shortage of workers might
develop into surplus during the
next year or two.
GROWTH IN FOREIGN
POPULATION
In China, with it's population Of
over 500 millions, 10000 babies
are born every week. The same is
true proportionately of India and
Pakistan, with their combined pop
ulation of about 500,O0O,0O0. 1t is
true that measures are being taken
to limit the birth rate. On the
other hand, new means of sanitary
living, free medical supplies and
proper nutrition are causing fewer
babies to die. Hence, / see no
prospect at the moment of a limit
to the net growth of these nations
The Malthusian Theory advanced
in 1898 contended that the world
will some day run out of arabic
land to feed the expanded popula-
tion. Although the land surface
from which to feed people is limit
ed, land far surpassed by the area
of lakes, marshes, and oceans), yet
the growing shortage of water re-
quired to sustain life and industrial
activity may be even more SER
ious.
TWO SIDES OF THE COIN
Increase in population cannot be
taken, at face value, as an optimis-
tic factor for the future. In order

and customers, we must have a

Considering the United States

HOOVER AT 85

Former President Hoover's convention
talk showed what vigor an 85-year-old may
still possess. He holds the record for length
of life as an ex-president. John Adams lived
25 years after leaving the presidency; Hoo
yer is now in his 9th.
So long period has elapsed since his
term of Office that many voters may be only
vaguely familiar with it. An engineer whose
work had taken him to- many parts of the
world, he became famous for his job of feed
ing the Belgians in World War |. Because
of his service as food administrator and later
as secretary of commerce, he was natural
choice for the presidency. AS in Eisenhow-
er's case, both parties wanted him. Like Els
enhower, he delayed for awhile before de-
Gliding for the Republicans.
Perhaps too much was expected of Hoover
in the White House. The great depression,
long in the making, hit the nation a few
months after his Inauguration. Nothing that
was tried seemed to help. Hoover left Office
knowing that a majority, hitherto his ad-
mirers, now wanted no more of him.
Yet he by no means sank into comfort
able obscurity. One of his greatest services
still remained. As chairman of committee
to recommend improvements and economies
in the government service, he achieved much
even though not all of his recommendations
were adopted. Now he is an elder statesmen
to whom all listen. Even those who do not
always agree with him find stimulus in his
suggestions.

A FARMING NOTE

1t has been called to our attention that too
many farms still contain death traps for
little children-in the form of watering
holes, many of them built with government
aid. The watering-holes, which most of us
are familiar with, are merely scooped out of
an area on the farm, usually by tractors, and
left to accumulate water.
The statistics showing how many small
children fall into these watering-holes, many
of which have steep banks, are tragically en-
tightening. In any event, children in practi-
cally every state drown in them each year.
And the number of children who drown in
these watering-holes is surprising.
The point has been made that these wa
tering-holes should be built in something of
a saucer shape. If this were done, there
would be no steep bank, and at least the
small child wandering into the side or edge
of the pool could wade back out-in case he
wanted to, or felt himself in trouble. Ger
tainly fewer drownings would result if this
system of construction were followed.
This newspaper is not the last word on
farm problems. The editor does not pose
as the ultimate authority on the subject of
watering-holes, and will stay out of the con-
troversy whether they do much good in the
summer.
However, it does seem to make common
sense that these watering-holes should be
formed in the safest possible manner, so
that lives of children, or animals, need not
be taken needlesSly.
