Powell Crosley, owner Of the

on the subject has centered
on New York and Houston as

that was all right. because his
opponent, Prince Maiva had
enough for both of them. The
Skull made it quite clear in the
beginning that he dislikes ev-
erybody. He snarled at the
crowd. screamed at the referee
and put on a performance
throughout that was worthy Of
an Oscar. Naturally, he lost.
The fans loved it. Some
even came equipped with mega
phones. If you took them at
their word, you would have to
conclude that here, indeed,
was a group bloodthirsty
enough to put to shame the
Romans who rooted for the
lions.
Thread Of Laughter
But through 1t all was a
very obvious thread of laugh
ter. One fan, carried away by
his emotions, screamed a
naughty word at the Skull.
Those who heard him laughed,
but his embarrassment was
acute. II guess I better sit
down and shut up," he said
sheepishly.

say that these people. caught

Who Wants The Moon?

WE are beginning to hear questions
of moon ownership, whether Russia,
whose rocket first reached it, will claim
it or whether it will be placed under the
Jurisdiction of the United Nations.
From what the scientists tell us, we
cannot imagine anyone wanting to own
a piece of the MOON Without any at
mosphere or any life. with an impossible
climate ranging from $50 above zero by
day to 220 degrees below at night, and
no water, it would seem most unat-
tractive place to be.
We like the good earth in spite of
storms and stress, in spite of the nuis-
ance of civilization and all the other
defects of life here. We like the warmth
and the GOODNESS, the rain and snow, the
green things and flowers. We like the
gentle breezes, the beauty of nature
everywhere. With our feet on the ground
we even like the moon but we do not
care to be any closer to it
We do not care to fly out of the at
mosphere that blankets this good earth
through the belts of dangerous radi-
alton, out into the nothingness and
great loneliness Of space. We like our
moon with its romantic glow but we
are content to let others more adven-
turous than us have the dangers of
space flights to reach it. We like it

With pasture conditions general

the fine recreation program which has

outstanding spectacle in the beautiful
setting of Farmville's Little Boys

The recreation program and facilities

products of individual initiative. ded-
icated personal interest, sacrificial eff

the reasons that enthusiasm runs SO
high and capacity attendance is had
almost every evening at the scheduled
games during the summer.
A group Of business men, two years
ago, began work on the Little Bows
League park. Their enterprise caught
the imagination of the people in this
community. Bull dozers were loaned,
artisans donated their crafts in spare
time, unlimited work was expended The
result possibly the most modern,
most complete miniature league park
in Virginia with back-drop of native
Virginia pines
But brick and mortar, however in

Babson Discusses Wholesale Commodity Prices

BABSON PARK, MASS, JULY
% = Now that fears of further
drastic price initiation in the
u S. appear to have Temperate
ly subsidized, this is an oppor-
tune time to check the overall
situation with regard to whole
sale commodity prices. also
venture a forecast on the out
look for a few selected groups.
Record Of The Indexes
Although commodity prices as
a whole are at a relatively high
level, it is interesting to note
that very little of this price in
flation has occurred during the
past two or three years. The
Bureau of Labor's overall price
index recently stood at 1875
compared with 1897 year ago,
1892 two years ago, and 117.4
in June 1857. Industrial prices
also have been fairly stable,
the 1860 June average Of 1913 2
comparing with 1892 year ago
1858 two years ago, and 1852
for June 1857. Farm products
prices are slightly under h e
year-ago level.
Despite the overall pric e
stability of the past several
years, there have been wild e
shifts up and down in prices of
many individual commodities. I
expect such shifts to continue.
Hence. it is vitality important to
buyers and sellers to study and
appraise the supply demand
ratios prevailing, or likely to
prevail, in individual i e m s.
These ratios will largely deter
mine price action of group men,
bers. whichever way the group
itself may be moving.
The Farmville herald. (Farmville, Va.) 1957-current, 1960-08-02
Industrials and Metals

lHuuStTldfS ana Metals
see nothing in the near-term
picture, barring war, that could
exert strong upward pressure on
prices of industrial commodities.
Supplies. for the most part, will
easily suffice for requirements
in the months ahead. However.
allowance must be made for
higher wage and transportation
costs, not all of which can be
absorbed by producers. Under
the circumstances, l forecast
moderately higher prices for In
dustrial commodities sometime
before the year is out.
Outstanding in the metals
group is the fact that supplies,
in almost all instances, are east
ly ample for prospective near
term requirements. Thus, a sus-
tanned price rise over the i'm
mediate future is unlikely. A
fall pickup in business, and es-
peciallv automobile production,
could increase overall demand
for metals: but such an increase
may not mature. The steel max
ers, however, face higher wage
costs on December /, and may
have to pass a part of them
along.
Farm Products, Cattle and Hogs
Some supply stringency is in
dicated in a few ne VIC r O D
canned vegetables. particularly
corn and peas. This could mean
higher prices. Generally large

Southern handicap IS the South
ern Democrat who still, in spite
of all, vows proudly and as if
there were virtue in it that even
though he will vote against the
National Democratic Party he
will never and however vote for
a Republican for President.
