VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. -
Last Saturday an actor walked
through the raised flap of a
blue and gold theater tent and,
with some nervousness, spoke
the first lines of a modern
comedy.
His words opened the first
season of Sandpiper Playhouse
and closed a four-year summer
theater vacuum.
Since Theater Go Round
folded in 1857 after a decade
of operation, this resort city
has been without summer the
ater. And since "The Confed-
eracy," an historical drama,
closed in 1859 after its second
season, the beach has had no
theatrical entertainment at all.
Sandpiper Playhouse, how
ever, has generated a great deal
of local interest and is expected
to fare well. Keeping the typical
beach tourist and resident in
mind, the playhouse will offer
a varied diet of light humor
and proven serious works.
Three Plays
Three plays-"Marriage-Go-
Round" "Send Me No Flowers"
and "Tea House of the August
Moon"-are currently being
presented nightly on an alter
nate basis. In four weeks three
other plays-"The Little Hut" I"
"Caine Mutiny Court Martial"
and Period of Adjustment
will take over on the same
basis through September 3.
Wade Williams, playhouse
general manager, said the
Sandpiper is the only tent the
ater in Virginia and it's physi-
cal plant is equal to any in
the Nation. 81 know it is be-
cause I've seen the Others" he
said.

Artificial Reefs Aid
Rehoboth Fishermen

in the vicinity of underwater
obstructions such as coral
reefs, rocks and sunken vessels.
The University of Delaware
Marine Laboratories working
in cooperation with the Della
ware Game and Fish Commits
sion and the Sports Fishing
Institute initiated the present
experiment, the placing of
reefs" consisting of 100-ton
concrete culverts, on relatively
barren areas of the ocean
bottom.
Concrete was selected be-
cause metallic objects are not
permitted by agencies respon-
sible for national defense. Cur
rently, these reefs are being
inspected at regular intervals
by student biologists who are
studying their effectiveness in
attracting fish. Scuba diving
techniques which permit divers
to stay submerged from 20 to
80 minutes at a time are being
used. ....
Bottom fishermen" Incl
dentally. are those who fish
the ocean bottoms short dis
tances offshore and this type
fishing is done from what are
called head boats"
For a vacationist limited by
a small budget, the bottom
fishing boats offer sea fishing
for about six dollars a head
(thuS accounting for the term,
head boatsO. These boats
generally stock virtually every
thing an angler will need in
Guiding, of course, bait and
tackle.
In addition to offering rental
service on rods and reels, many
of the bottom boatG have snack
and beverage facilities and
some are even equipped with
tiny lunch counters offering
sandwiches, coffee, soft drinks
and even SeaSick pills.
In season, these boats depart
daily from the Inlet and from
nearby Lewes, generally in the
early morning hours, and are
guided by experienced shippers
to a predetermined location,
where they are then anchored.
This anchorage is generally
over or near underwater OBJ
structions (such as these
"reefs"O, which attract the
small fish upon which larger
fish feed. In turn, these larger
fish, such as sea bass and tau
tog, are eagerly sought by the
bottom fishermen"
While most of the bottom
boats schedule early morning
trips, it is possible for late
sleeping anglers to also get in
on the fun as some of the boats
frequently schedule afternoon
fishing trips, leaving port about
one in the afternoon.

Newspaper Week

TEIIS IS NEWSPAPER WEEK, nationally recog- nized in commemorating one of Americas cherish ed freedoms Freedom of the Press It is also the anniversary of the Nome Nugget which started on Oct. 8 as the Nome News.
 The first editorial by its owner and editor, John Strorg, who was to be the 9th Governor of Alaska reads as follows:
 ssI1le Nome News is here to assist in the develop ment of this portion of our country and to obtain share if possible in the golden wealth that has brought the district into prominence.
 The News will be paper for the people and will in every way enea%or to conserve the peoples rights and to advocate such measures, well as bring the greatest good to the greatest number proposed to be fair to all and to be in every sense good news paper. ss
 This policy has never changed, although the newspaper has changed hands many times and still carries on to crusade for better Nome and better Alaska

JFK Opposes Red China's Entry Into The United Nations

WASHINGTON lR President Kennedy said Thursday that, "the United States firmly opposes the entry of the Chinese Communists into the United Nations" or any of it's agencies.
 This was a statement Kennedy had intended to make at news conference had he been asked about the situation. A question about it arose Thursday at the regular news briefing held by Presidential press secretary Pierre Salinger.
 Salinger was told that there has been some speculation at the JUN. on whether exploration of US. relations with Outer Mongolia was softening this country's opposi- tion to admitting the Red Chinese to the world organization. Outer Mongolia as we'll as Red China are seeking JUN. membership.
 Salinger was asked whether there has been even a slightly perceptibIe change in American policy on this point.
 Salinger said probably the best way to answer this was with the statement that Kennedy had ready for last weeks news con ference He read it off:
 "The United States has always considered the government of the Republic of China the only right full gove rnment representing China and has always given full support to the position and to all the rights of that government in the United Nations. Therefore the United States firmly opposes the entry of the Chinese Communists into the United Nations or into any of the components of the United Nations"

US. Lofts Rocket to Study Mother Earth's Sunbonnet

IHN
 WASHINGTON LA The Unit ed States yesterday successfully lofted a space rocket to a height of more than 4,000 miles to study mother earth's "sunbonnet "the ionosphere.
 The rocket, intended to reach an altitude of 4,5o0 statute miles before returning to the earth, actually reached an altitude of 4,261.
 Space Agency officials said the experiment could be termed "a damned good success"
 The 94-pound payload of the four-stage rocket impacted in the Atlantic Ocean about 4 ,424 miles from it's Wallops Island, Va, launching site.
 The announcement of the suc- cess of the experiment followed almost two hours of anxious wait ing in Washington. Scientists at first were unable to confirm that the fourth stage had actually ig- nited. They all did.

Wheat Producers To
Vote August 24th

Wheat producers will vote on
August "a on whether or not
marketing quotas will be in eff
feet for the 1862 wheat crop,
Ethan A. Porter, Chairman of
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation State Committee
reminded growers today. Quo
tas for the crop were proclaim
ed by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture on May II but setting of
the referendum date was defer
red, pending, action to provide
an improved wheat program for
the crop.
In setting the August "a re-
ferendum date, Secretary Free
man said: "The decision that
farmers make is extremely i'm
portant to them and to the rest
of the Nation not only for 1862
but also for many years to come.
The program available with
quotas in effect would be far
different from that which could
be operated without quotas"
While action has not yet been
completed on a new wheat pro-
gram. the date or the referen-
dunn on 1862 wheat marketing

quotas is being set now in order
that as many producers as pos
sible may be apprised of the
voting time. All eligible pro-
ducers will be encouraged to
participate in the referendum,
making their desires known
through a free vote.
If quotas are approved by at
least tWo-thirds of the farmers
who vote in tn e August "a
referendum, cooperators will be
eligible for 1862 wheat price
support at a level to be deter
mined later. If quotas are not
approved by the necessary per-
centage of votes, there will be
no limit on marketings, and
price support - at so per cent
of parity will be available
to those farmers who comply
with their acreage allotments.
Ballots to be cast at local
polling places will be announ-
ced by ASC county committees,
who will have charge of the
referendum locally.

BOLLWORMS

BollwormS are still not too
much of a problem at this time.
However, we have found a few
worms scattered throughout the
county the past few days. Keep
close watch for young boil
worms and bollworm eggs and
if they are generally all over
your field add an insecticide
such as DDT or endrin to con-
troll your bollwormS.
If you have been using SEWN
wettable powder or SEWN dust
regularly throughout the season
keep a close watch out for spl-
Ger mites. Spider mites have
tendency to build up behind
the use of SEWN. If spider mites
begin to give you trouble apply
two doses of methyl parathion
about four days apart or two
doses of guthion about five Or
SIX days apart. This should give
you good control of red spiders.

COTTON SITUATION

With the second generation OF
boil weevus hatchlng out our
boil weevIl intestatlon can be-
come a problem unless we are
on the Jop putting out the right
KIND, right amount and putting
ii out properly to prevent fur
ther damage. During last week
without any ram, the farmers
that used guthlon, got an excel
lent kill OF all weevlls in their
fields and new weevIiS as they
PATCHED out. Where using me-
thyl parathIon on twice a week
application seem to have done a
guod job of controlling the boil
WeevllS but not quite as good
as the ones using guthlon on
five day intervals.
The farmers using other poi
sons and al irregular intervals
seem to be the ones in the most
trouble at this time
Up until now the boil weevilS
have not been too big a problem
IL the delta area other than
near the foothills. But with this
second generation coming out
and boil weevils beginning their
migration the next few days il
certainly would be worthwhile
to get on a regular schedule at
this time and stay on it until
you know you have a good crop
produced and protected.

Wafer Loss Not
Great In Delta
Irrigation Study

Water losses in irrigation
channels were not great enough
to justify use of pipe or con-
crete lining in a study recently
reported from the Delta Branch
Experiment Station.
Fred 7. Cooke, Jr., USDA
agricultural economist, summa-
rized his findings as follows:
1T has been found that evap-
oration and seepage of irrigation
water in some areas can in
crease the cost of irrigation
water delivered to the field. To
determined if they were inn
portant factors in water cost
in the Mississippi Delta, water
losses were measured in irriga-
ton channels in sandy, loam,
and clay soils. ~
due to peculiarities in these
soil types it was found that the
greatest losses were in clay
soils and the smallest losses
were in sandy soils. Extreme
cracking in the clay soil caused
higher losses, while a high per-
centage of silt in sandy soils
causes a sealing which reduces
water seepage in these soils.
Evaporation from irrigation
channels was found to be of
little significance. When the low
cost of pumping water in the
area is taken into consideration,
it becomes apparent that trans
portation systems which would
reduce or eliminate the high
water losses found in clay soils
cost more on an annual basis
than the value of the water lost
during an irrigation season.
Pumping costs would need to
increase considerably before it
would pay to install distribution
systems to prevent these losses"
