THE END OF AN ERA: Some
thirty years ago they were called
the fnseperableS: They were the
athletic Tony Stecher, boxing and
wrestling promoter. Harry d.
Hirsch, lovable and owner of the
Gayety and Alvin theatres. And
Harry Katz, handsome alert and
friendly. Katz helped both stecher
and Hirsch with the ticket sales.
Stecher passed away about 10
years ago from q sudden heart all
ment and Katz followed shortly
with a similar illness.
Last week in Los Angeles, Harry
Hirsch, Joined his two pals also

the DIX team. Marvis, daughter of
Gwen Kirk was encouraging her
mother. RosaIind Patton was try

selling them candy. A. J. Lewis
was keeping an eye on his wife
and her team.
Essie Stewart Jared better than
she did previously. Otis Skinner

a win for his team this time.

At FLA Bouquet
Abbitt Warns
Against Growth
Federal Power

The price of fir e e d m is
eternal vigilance" Congressman
Watkins NJ. Abbitt told Cunber-
land FLA members and their
guests at the annual Parent and
Son banquet, last Friday.
The one thing that has made
America great is her power to
retain the freedom Of the indi-
vidual. Abbitt said, There are
those determined to make of the
country a big centralized govern
ment. They want to s0cialize,
naticnalize and federalize the
government.
e. Can't Give You Anything"
He pointed out that there are
others dedicated to maintaining
the heritage of individual rights
and rights of the sovereign
states. The Fourth District con-
gresham declared, 1.-The federal
government can't give you any
thing unless it comes from your
pocket" He added. I'VE have
retained the right to the states
and the localities the duty and
responsibility Of educating its
people. We cannot hope that the
federal government will be al
lowed to take over the cause of
education, because once that hap
pens the nation would be worse
than Russia with socialism.
Abbitt said, This nation is the
worlds last great bulWark Of
freedom. One sure way Of crack
ing it up is to continue to let
the federal government stretch
out its arms
Group Praised
The future farmers drew praise
from the congressman. He said
that he knew of no other youth
organization doing more for the
betterment of coming genera
tons. Said Abbitt, agriculture
is the bedrock of our civiliza-
ton. You who are youngsters OF
today will be leaders tomorrow.
Abbitt told the younger mem
bers of his audience he hoped
as many of them as can would
remain on the farm. He cited
the progress in agriculture in the
past three generations. In speak
ing Of the opportunities in the
field. and the training available
in a FLA organization, he re-
minded the group of response

Police School OF
Fmgerprinting
Conducted Here
FIJI Agent From
Alexandria Teaches
Two Class Sections

A school of fingerprinting for
local law enforcement officers
was held here Wednesday under
the sponsorship of the Farmville
Police Department.
The instructor was Howard E.
Richardson. of Alexandria, an
agent of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. Richardson, a
specialist in the field of finger
printing. came here on the re-
quest of Police Chief Otto S.
Overton.
The basic composition of the
course included the taking of
linked fingerrrints both regu-
lar and palm. and the develop
ment of latent prints by the
busting and chemical methods.
Practical Work
A period of practical work fol-
lowed each phase of instruction
The use of the iodine gun was
reviewed in the study of ways
of lift prints, including the TAX
ing of prints of deceased per-
sons.
Chief Overton said, The pur-
pose of the coures was to bring
his men up-to-date on finger
printing, which is particularly
useful in solving breaking and
entering, stolen car and similar
other eases" A number of men
in the department, including the
chief. had already been instruct
ed in the art of taking salts
factory prints, but all mem
bers of the department attended.
For some the course was a re-
freSher. and to others it was
initial instruction.
Two Sessions Held
To make it possible for all
members of the department to
attend the school. two sessions.
one in the morning and another
in the evening. were arranged.
Assistants in the Farmville force
and deputies from the Sheriff's
Department also attended tn e
school.
The chief emphasized the i'm
portance of the training by say
ing: 1T was needed here to let
every man know something
about taking the prints, what to
look for. and the value of keep
ing people back from the scene
of a crime until necessary prints
have been lifted" He said no
special case prompted him to
request an FBI instructor to
come to Farmville.
While in Farmville, the FBI
agent assisted Chief Overton in
