the nation.
Marcie charted her first race
her father, the late Dick James,
on the fabulous Grand Circuit, har-
ness racing's major league" Mr..
James, who served as Ocean
Downs Racing Secretary in 1850
and 1851. was one of the top har-
ness experts of all time. He held
various posts with the U. 5. Trot-
ting Association. governing body
of the sulky sport, and served as
the organizations official histor-
ian until his death.
He developed the present eligi-
bility papers on trotters and PAGERS
which lists the horses past seven
performances, a technique which
has been universally adopted.
Marcia's mother. Mrs. Patricia
Farmer, helped her husband in his
work and after his death took over
as head of the Program Depart
ment at the u. S. Trotting Asso-
citation, a position she still holds.
Marcia and Gordon's duties be-
gin early in the morning when
they chart the qualifying races.
This information is then entered
on an individual card for each
horse and is sent TO the printer
for inclusion in the program when
the horse races. Then, during the
nights races. they record the ac-
tion for posterity.
Their statistics end up in the
records of the U. S. T. A. as well
as in the programs which fans use
at races to select the horses of
their choice.
The biggest testimonial to the
Dickersons' ability is the fact that
they have handled fhe charts for
harness racing's most important
events. the Little Brown jug for
PAGERS at Delaware. Ohio, and the
Hambletonian for trotters at Du
Quoin, Illinois.
Does this nomadic life bother the
Dickersons? No. on your life;
they love it almost as much as they
love harness racing.

In outlining the factors, that
contribute to misunderstanding of
the farmers problems. McAllister
makes these points: Agriculture
is a complex industry and no one
single person or organization can
speak for all farmers. II is a vast
industry that includes million
armer-businessmen Their inter-
ests vary all the way from tung-
nuts and castor beans to mink
ranches and fish farms. The in
terests of the cotton farmer in AL
ALBANIA, the rancher in North Da-
kota and the poultryman in New
Jersey are so different that they
have difficulty agreeing upon a
basic national farm policy. The
reason is that a different type of
commodity is produced in almost
every state or region.

While those not engaged in far
ming sometimes misunderstood
and often question the farm prob
lem. they should be aware of the
contribution agriculture is max
ing to Americas level of prosper
ity. Agricultural research and
farmers ready willingness to
adopt new production techniques
have increased agricultural pro-
duction tremendously. This step
ped-up efficiency enables fewer
farmers to produce more food and
fiber of ever-increasing quality.
And this in turn has released from
agriculture siZeable labor force to
be employed in the production OF
commodities that make life more
enjoyable, McAllister said.

The Election

Now that the election is over,
let's get behind the mayor and
get at least 500 more blocks of
sidewalks and lights on some of
these side streets. (I arrived at
this figure from the four blocks
of sidewalks that were laid in
the two weeks before election).
If our mayor keeps up this
pace, he will have at least 500
blocks laid by the end of this
term.
Many people say that these
sidewalks were put down to lure
people into voting for the Uni
ted Citizens Party. I have con-
fidence that our mayor will
keep up the good work and
prove that this was not a GIN.

ARE WE really ready?

ARE WE really ready?
PRESIDENT JOHN F. Kennedy has already demon
strated that he intends to move forward, and to make sure
that America takes its proper place, and not only maintains
but develops leadership the like Of which has never been
known. This attitude is shown BY the type and calibre Of men
he appoints to important posts.
BUT WHAT OF us hereP Are we ready? The chances
are+hat when the President gets around to looking into the
Virgin Islands he will want to know what plans we have, if
any, and how we intend to implement those plans. If we have
such plans then the national government can have a basis on
which to help us meet our needs. But we must be ready,
PERHAPS THERE IS blueprint for the future Of these
Islands. If there is the average citizen may not be aware Of it.
We know generally what the basic problems ae-Water, bet
ter education, improved industries, and the Gke-but we do
not have any idea of how our Government intends to meet
these problems. Things will continue to drift unless and until
there is more defnteness about our plans and purposes.
IN THESE COLUMNS came the suggestion on numer
Gus occasions that there ought to be the local equivalent of a
National Resources Planning Board, a group whose respon-
Sibiity it is to keep under constant advsement and study the
possibilities for the economic development of these Islands.
The Governor alone cannot do it, nor can the Senate be
asked to shoulder such responsibility. It has enough to do to
keep abreast Of the times BY passing sound and appropriate
laws.
TRUE, WE HAVE made considerable progress. Our
tourist trade has improved, and today is the principal source
of income. Yet, there is room for improvement. Nor is it
enough to depend upon any one avenue Of income, which is
no more Or less than putting all ones eggs in one basket.
COMMITTEE or group contemplated here would
stay on -the~iob the year round, would invite suggestions
and ideas, sift them out and study them, and present them to
the Governor for further consideration. It should be clear by
now that unless something is done, we may just go along, try
ing to keep up with the rest Of the nation, as contrasted to
taking the initiative.

School for Blind Needs Piano
By Kathleen Leary
Woamn's Editor

The Lions Club Pre-School
for Blind Children needs a
piano.
Last year vandals broke into
the log cabin in North Four
Corners Recreation Center
where the school is operated
and completely destroyed the
school piano.
Now the school director, Mrs.
Joseph T. Howard, is calling on
the community to help replace
the instrument. The Nursery
would welcome donation of a
piano that plays, or can be re-
paired to play. Contact Samuel
c. Long, JU. $4,000, who'll make
arrangements to move any
piano donated.
Photographer Ed Mervis found
out about the schools loss when
he went over to the nursery to
photograph the presentation Of
a check for $3.50 from the Rock
vile Dandylions Club, an organ
iZation of Rockville Lions Club
wives. The donation represented
many hours of Volunteer serv-
ice on Embarrassing projects car
ried on during the past year.
Toys and teaching aides will be
purchased with the contribution,
which will also help pay the
teachers salary.
You will note in the picture
accompanying this article that
the children are wearing eye
glasses. The spectacles are a
sight aid. Wearing them, the
youngsters can distinguish
more, but eventually even the
eyeglasses will not help their
sight.
Six children are currently en-
rolled in the nursery. governed
by board of directors made-up
of three members from each of
the nine participating clubs
sponsoring the school. DR..
Thomas Schnebly, who helped
to organize the nursery, is the
executive director.
Inspired by similar oper-
alton in Northern Virginia, C.
Randolph Burner, a member of
the Silver Spring Lions Club,
was instrumental in forming the
school in September, 1856. In
addition to the Silver Spring
club, members of the Lions
Clubs in Takoma Park, Chillum
and Wheaton raised $1,000 to
