lar measure was introduced in
the Senate. The bill is designed
to help private schools and most

Revise Grants
Earlier bills that would revise

houses with Governor Almonds
approval.
The House bills were sponsor

The measures are designed

Whether the bills are con-
stitutionally sound and will
eventually be the ones enacted
into law remains to be seen.
Committee study, hearings and
the attention of the whole body

Principal Effect
Under the earlier Daniel and
Hagood bills, the money would
be distributed in the form of
grants to the parents of children
attending nonsectarian private
schools or public schools in an
t h Ell community. Locubtifs
that continue operating their
public schools are empowered
already to provide grants to sup
plement state grants for those
who decline to attend the pub
lie schools available.
But the new bills would eX-
tend this same right to a coun-
ty like Prince Edward, which
abandoned education as a pub
lie function rather than yield to
a federal court Indignation de-

House Kills
Sales Tax Bill;
Almonds Mad!
By H. V. LANCASTER, JR.

By H. V. LANCASTER, JR.
THE SALES TAX was killed
Friday in the House Finance
Committee, but there remained
The possibility that proponents
might try to tack it onto another
tax bill from the floor of the
House. Gov. Almond, bitterly
disappointed, vowed he would
veto any bill to increase the
states income tax, which he said
is paid by only a fourth of the
population. He threw down a
bold challenge to State Sen.
Harry F.. Byrd, Jr., and House
Speaker E. Blackburn Moore,
"ho spearheaded sales tax oppo-
sition, saying If these gentle

is ready to do SO. The states
'eading Democrats gathered for
the annual jefferson Jackson
dinner Friday night, and there
we're rumors that some legis-
lators are banding together to
block undue cutting of the
governors record budget.
AN APOLOGY to Cuba for a

our government has admitted
any of Fidel Castro's charges
that American-based planes have
been attacking Cuba. The official
apology may serve to ease U. S.
Cuban relations. Castro said in
a TV speech Thursday night the
plane exploded in mid-air killing
the two Americans aboard while
attempting to bomb a sugar mill
100 miles east of Havana.

Wildlife" Brown said, (which is
an increase Of II percent over
1883" Such Improvement con-
sisted of planting shrubs, leg
umes, conifers, and other wild
Life plants around ponds, on
badly eroded areas, and other
places where use primarily for
wildlife was considered the best
way to use the land. These i'm
provements also consisted of
brush control, protection from
fire and livestock, and installing
dens and brush piles.
These cooperators planted over
$4,000 rods of multiflora rose
fences with the assistance of the
Division of Wildlife.
They built GIT new farm ponds,
and improved 9l3 ponds for fish.
Brown was quick to point out,
however, that soil conservation
practices of all kinds benefit
wildlife in a great many ways
and that wildlife populations in
crease on farms that apply good
soil and water conservation
plans.
Some other practices estab-
lished by farmers with the help
of SCS technicians were l2,767
acres of contour strip cropping,
28,43l acres of cover crops,
267,853 acres of improved crop
rotations and fertility practices,
30,088 acres of woodland protec-
ton, and 6,084 acres of new tree
planting.

In Noble Soil Conservation
District 20 acres of Wildlife area
Improvement were appli e d..
Other practices which benefited
wildlife in Noble county were:
Stocking of 16 ponds with bass
and bluegill fingerlings, two con-
servation reserve ponds built
especially for fish were con-
Structed.
According to Merle Marietta,
local technician with the SCS,
wildlife improvement can be in
tegrated into proper land use
planning and still maintain maxi
mum income. The land can thus
produce food and fiber and main
tain wildl;fe for recreation at the
same time.
Weather in the past six weeks
has been difficult for wildlife.
Several Racoon have been obser-
we'd feeding in cornfields during
daylight. Another hazard to wild
life is fire. Warm, drying weather
and wind is particularly danger
Gus for wildlife since careless
persons set unintentional field
fires by burning trash or brush
without the necessary precau-
tions to prevent fires getting out
of control. Use containers to
burn paper and trash or clear
the area into which glowing
embers may blow. Protect wild
life habitat from fire.
