Supper Enjoyed
BY JOHN STICK

A band of modern Prince Ed
wardians with a passion for pre-
serving the spirit. the tradition
and the paraphenalia of the past
got fresh insight into the worth
of their efforts Wednesday at
old Prince Edward Court House
now the village Of Worsham.
Members of the Prince Ed
ward Branch of the Association
for the Preservation of Virginia
Antiquities and guests met to-
gether on the ancient court
house green to re-stimulate the
groups membership and ac-
tivities. and to enjoy a sand
wich and melon supper ip the
shadows of some of the great
est moments in the 206-year his
tory of the county.
Fascinated, the lawn audience
heard Miss Mary Dupuy recount
some of the events that sWirled
about the historic village when
it served as the county seat of
Prince Edward.
History Revived
Commands of drill sergeants

youth into Revolutionary militia

the center of the village, the
audience was reminded of the
first court session in January.

Taxable Property Values
Reach Reco I'd 100000
New Assessments
Reflect Building
Peak, High Income

A half-million dollar increase
in the past year greatest
jump in recent years has
upped taxable property assess
ments in Prince Edward county
to a record high Of SIS, 09e 1866.
Commissioner of Revenue v. c.
Wornack reported this week.
All but one of the five classifi-
cations Of taxable property made
gains in assessed values during
1859. with the greatest being pub
lie service corporations and real
estate.
Public service corporation as
sessments jumped S165. 389, or
from 1854. 500 to So. 789 1898. Real
estate, the biggest of the five di-
visions. registered a gain of
Sal $50, jumping from SIS, 2l4,41O
to $685., 760.
New Milestone
For the 1858 tax year, the total
OF all assessments was Sl4.555.-
1877. The $544, 079 increase during
1859 pushed the 1860 total over
the SIS million mark the
first time that milestone has been
reached, Commissioner Womack
reports.
In. the last half-dozen years
since 1854. the previous high
single year agin in taxable prop
erty e m n S was the
$500 ,000-plus jump during 1856
Only the division of machinery
and tools failed to show an as
Sessment gain. This dropped
$l1,82O, from $l30,370 to $ll8,550.
Womack explains that this re
suited chiefly from the Kyanite
Mining Company's operational
shifts from its Leigh Mountain
holdings in Prince Edward coun-
ty to Willis Mountain in Bucking-
ham county.
Economic Gains
The overall assessment in
creases reflect the economic
gains made during 1859. when
building permits here totalled a
record high of 1865 $50 when
personal income. based on state
income tax returns, reached
new high, and when business was
good.
Forty new homes and the de-
velopment of the Farmville Shop
ping Center contributed heavily
to the assessment gains in real
property. The county's assess
ment ratio of 20 per cent of fair
market value, applied to the
building permit total. gives a
figure corresponding remarkably
close to the years gain in real
property assessments.
Tangible personal property as
sessment in crea S e S. which
amounted to a healthy $121 ,08O,
were outstanding. This property
is also assessed on 20 per cent
ratio.
Converted to actual property
values, the tangible property gain
mirrors the conversion of record
income to new cars, household
goods, livestock and commercial
equipment. Nearly three-quarters
of a million dollars would have
had to be expended in this
fashion to create the assessment
gains registered.
Business Gains
Merchants C api |, which
jumped $128.O80, or from So, 1884,
1873 to Sc, 297 1853, reflects the good
business position at the end of
1859. This division Of property is
assessed at actual figures, and is
calculated on a count Of physical
inventories, the excess of ac-
counts receivable over payables.
and money on hand. The gains

out: The guest will be Vice

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. a.
There really will be something
new under the television sun,
it turns out. outlaws" a new
Western series on NBC, will tell
its badmen'S tales from the
viewpoint of the criminals, not
the lawmen.
Furthermore. it will be fate,
not the marshal. holding the
winning hand. And there won't
be a fight or shoot-out to cli-
max each episode. All this is
pretty revolutionary stuff, but.
rest assured. crime won't pay:

Barton MacLane. who plays
the marshal, 1T seems that
we're taking some character
who has committed a crime and
showing what made him do
it.
Most of them started out
as $30-a-month cowboys who
felt they we're wronged-a real

tell what they did. Neither
the marshal nor his two depu-

we're conducting searches, not
chases. BY the time we catch

MacLane illustrated with

Extension Is Fuvored
On Mexican Workers
BY the Associated Press

The Senate Agriculture Com
mittee yesterday recommended
a six-month extension beyond
June 80 of the law which ad-
mits Mexican farmer workers
to this country.
The administration has Wig
orously opposed a House.
passed bill which called for a
two-year extension of the pres
ent law. There have been pro-
tests that entry of thousands
of Mexican workers has caused
unemployment in some areas of
the country.

argument, however, a not in
substantial one, and non-his-
torian Paar, in equating the
Socialist party, once headed
by Norman Thomas, with some
of the odd-ball fringe groups
was making one point and
missing another.
What the bill will do. in ef-
feet, is leave the question of
time for candidates to the net
works and stations. and it is
their conduct in the handling
of this fundamental point that
will determine whether or not
the restriction is permanently
removed. Third parties, some
one should inform the Tonight
show, have played an impor-
tant part in the country's de-
velopment.
1t may be-as some feel
that nv is immature and not
up to this responsibility. Well,
here's way of finding out;
I'm all for it.
In the meantime, somebody
should chat with Paar about
the subject so that the matter,
in the future, will be treated
with more perspective.
