More Than Seven
Inches Of Rain

August was a wet month any

was almost twice as wet as U.S.

The measurement of rainfall

good part Of the month having
some low readings. Fifty de-
grees on the 18th of the month
was the low for the 81 days. Even
the high for the month was like
the rest of the temperatures, a
little below normal. The high
was 90 degrees and that was
attained on several days.
The temperature was not the
topic of weather discussed for
the month, that being taken up
with rainfall chatter. The big
question at one time was, will
it ever stop raining?"

you to do what you can to keep

He cited the sacrificial effort
expended by parents and many
others to make the new school
a reality.
You should make every ef-
fort you can to stay in school
and get your diploma. You will
find all our teachers willing to
help you in any way possible,
but you must be willing to do
some educating of yourself to
accomplish the requirements of
obtaining the education you
need" Pearson advised the stu

Area ABC Slice
OF Profits Good
For $194,655

Herald area counties and towns
will reap $194.655 as their share
of the annual Alcoholic Beverage
Control system profits.
The state total is exactly the
same as last year. Sll,6O5 .645.
ABC profits available for distri-
button this year fell more than
81 .90l 900 short of the minimum
guaranteed by the 1860 Assembly.
The difference came out of the
general fund.
Although the state total re-
manned the same as last year,
some localities received more and
some less than what they received
last year because this years shar-
ing was on the basis of 1860 cen
suS figures, and last years was
based on the 1850 census. This
hurt area localities, causing them
to receive smaller checks because
of population drops in the past
decade.
The county checks vary from
S32 1862 for Charlotte county to
Sl4,92l for Cumberland county.
The total for seven counties IS
$173.84l, as against 1925, l46 for
the 1959-6O fiscal year.
The distribution to other local
counties will be: Amelia, s22,-
1888; Buckingham. S29, 677; Pow
hatan, S19.738; Prince Edward.
$28.638: and Nottoway. S25, 642.
The town slice of the LIQUOR
melon went like this: Bucking-
ham, 1887: Burkeville. 50 .O62:;
Charlotte Court House, s1.623:
Farmville. s12.559. Keysville. 81
IA: Phenix. 1857; and Scottsville
s1.032.
The total amount for area towns
amounted to s2O,814. It was lower
for each town this year. Farm
ville's share dropped from Sl6,-
159 year ago to Sl2,559
Each eligible locality received
a sum equal to its 1860 popula-
